Summary
Hades is the Greek god of the Underworld and the main antagonist of the 1997 Disney animated feature film Hercules.
While the Hades of Greek mythology was not particularly malevolent, he is made into an evil figure in the Disney film, where he attempts to steal the Mount Olympus throne from his brother Zeus.
Hades is among the most popular Disney Villains, in addition to being one of the franchise's primary members.
Given that he handles his job of taking care of the dead by offhandedly eternally tormenting all of them, innocent or otherwise, as dehumanised shades thrown into the River Styx, he is also one of the darkest and most genuinely evil Disney animated movie villains of all time.
Powers and Stats
Tier: Likely High 4-C
Name: Hades
Origin: Hercules
Gender: Male
Age: Thousands of Years Old
Classification: Lord of the Dead, Ruler of the Underworld, God of the Underworld, Brother of Zeus
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 1, possibly 5; as it was stated that gods were immortal and couldn't be killed, as shown when Hercules was unfazed by the Sister's powers and the river of souls once he became a god, the formers being able to end any life by cutting their string), Telekinesis, Fire Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation (Can generate large explosions out of rage), Smoke Manipulation (Can generate smoke and manipulate it in various ways), Body Control (Can turn his limbs into smoke), Death Manipulation, Soul Manipulation (Holds dominion over the dead and the spirits of those who died), Necromancy, Resurrection (Resurrected Jafar), Magic, Energy Manipulation and Projection (Can generate and project divine energy), Creation (Can create various items), Age Manipulation (Restored Achilles to his physical prime and later rendered him aged again), Healing (Healed Megara's lover. Healed Achilles' heel as part of their deal), Immortality Negation (Type 1, possibly 5; via the potion he used to render Hercules into a mortal being), Earth Manipulation (Was shown to manipulate the terrain when he was chasing after Prometheus and Hercules), Illusion Creation (Can create images from smoke), Transformation (Turned Prometheus' eagle into a phoenix), Shapeshifting, Intangibility (Is naturally non-corporeal and only gods can actually bypass this and harm him), Summoning and Animal Manipulation (Can summon and control various monsters from the Underworld such as Cerberus), Non-Physical Interaction (Can physically interact with souls and other intangible beings), Self-Sustenance (Type 1 and 2), Power Bestowal, Astral Projection (Taunted Hercules about Orpheus' disappearence), Clairvoyance (Can observe people and events from other locations with his powers), Precognition (Could see that Achilles had six years of life left), Size-Shifting, Levitation, Teleportation, Dimensional Travel (Can travel between the mortal world and realms like the Underworld and Olympus at will), Social Influencing, Resistance to Fate Manipulation / Life & Death Manipulation (As a god, Hades can't be killed by the Sisters of Fate)
Attack Potency: Likely Large Star level (Should be comparable to other Olympians, who can apparently casually create constellations. Always viewed Hercules as a non-threat. Broke the barrier Zeus created to seal the Titans)
Speed: Superhuman Movement Speed with likely Massively FTL+ Combat/Attack Speed (Shouldn't be much weaker than Zeus or other gods)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Large Star level (As a God, he can't be killed even by beings stronger than him. Survived an attack from God Hercules)
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Unknown
Standard Equipment: None
Optional Equipment: A potion that can turn gods mortal
Intelligence: Gifted (Hid his plans from Zeus and Olympus, ruled the Underworld, manipulated Hercules and Megara)
Weaknesses: Any god can affect him and bypass his intangibility. He is also bound to any deal that he makes (When Megara was injured despite Hades promising she wouldn't be, Hercules immediately regained his strength). He can be rendered mortal by a special potion, and when using it on another, he has to make them drink it all. If a single drop is left, they will still retain their godlike strength
