And what do you think you’d ever say? I won’t listen anyway.
Job: Ruler of Hades and Tartarus, god of the dead and the underworld, former demonologist
Human Playby: Michael Fassbender
Special abilities:
Hades possesses the conventional physical attributes of an Olympian god. Like all Olympians, he is immortal; he has not aged since reaching adulthood and cannot die by any conventional means. He is immune to all Earthly diseases and is resistant to conventional injury. If wounded, his godly life force would enable him to recover with superhuman speed; it would take an injury of such magnitude that it dispersed a major portion of his bodily molecules to cause him physical death. Even then, it may be possible for Zeus or a god of equal power to revive him. Hades possesses superhuman strength and his Olympian metabolism gives him far greater than human endurance at all physical activities. (Olympian flesh and bone is about three times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to the Olympians' superhuman strength and weight.)
Hades also has extraordinary energy-wielding abilities equaled among the Olympians only by those of Poseidon, and surpassed only by those of Zeus. Only a few of Hades’ many energy-wielding powers have as yet been depicted. Hades can fire powerful force belts from his hands, erect powerful, nearly impenetrable force fields, and nearly impenetrable force fields, and create interdimensional apertures to enable him to transport himself from one dimension to another. He can weaken an opponent's strength with his touch. Hades can create mystical flame and sheathe himself with such flame while himself remaining unharmed. Hades can create weapons of mystical flame, such as a spear or sword of fire, which can paralyze an opponent.
Hades also also has extraordinary senses for paranormal and supernatural energies. Sensitive to psychic activity, he can see ghosts and perceive information from earthbound entities even without their permission.
It has been alleged that Hades is less powerful on Earth, or in other dimensions, such as Asgard or Valhalla, than he is in his own realm of Tartarus.
Personality:
Hyper intelligence and cool wit are two of the many attributes this evil mastermind has. Every villian has the certain charm around them and also a certain darkness in their aura though and Hades is no exception. He's also not too fond of his dayjob and wishes to change that so the world domination thing is kinda stong in him too like any villain. Being the God of the Underworld kinda helps. In fact, being a God helps a lot. The masterful mastermind tries really hard to succeed in his plans but they won't work out all that often.
In love as in life Hades happens to be just as unlucky. After all, who would fall in love with the God of the underworld? Not many ladies find themselves swooning over what the great greek God can do. Hades also has no kindness in his heart for love and it would take a very special woman to bring some light into his dark heart, if he has one of those at all. Hades is cruel and spiteful like you'd expect a demon to be but if there's one thing he does enjoy doing it's commanding his minions and he'll take anything from beautiful woman to ugly beasts as his minions.
Before:
Hades is the eldest son of Cronus, ruler of an extra dimensional race of beings known as the Titans, and his wife, the Titaness Rhea. (Cronus the Titan is not to be confused with the Eternal known as Chronos or Kronos). Fearing that he would be dethroned by one of his offspring just as he himself had overthrown his own father Ouranus, Cronus imprisoned each of his own offspring in Tartarus, the darkest section of Hades, the Olympian underworld, as soon as he or she was horn. (Later legends erroneously claimed that Cronus had actually swallowed his children and that they remained alive inside him until Zeus released them.) Appalled, the children's mother Rhea gave birth to Zeus without Cronus's knowledge and gave him to the primeval Earth goddess Gaea to be raised in secret. The adult Zeus freed his siblings and led them in a successful revolt against Cronus and the Titans. Using a helmet of invisibility given to him by the Cyclopes, Hades was able to steal Cronus's principal weapons from his palace while wearing a helmet of invisibility.
After the defeat of the Titans, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon cast lots to divide up creation among them. Zeus won the right to claim the heavens, Poseidon claimed the sea for himself and Hades obtained the underworld known as Tartarus, where Zeus had exiled the Titans. Zeus knew that he needed a stern warden to guard the enemies of the gods and that brooding Hades was the only one of his siblings who found life in the underworld suitable to his temperament. Therefore, Zeus assigned sovereignty of the entire underworld to his elder brother. Hades was quite pleased with this new role and rarely left the underworld over following centuries. Hades assigned a system of processing for “shades” (souls) that crossed over and divided the underworld into different regions as according to how mortal behaved in life. Those worthy of honor were assigned solace in the Elysian Fields while those souls who had in life were evil or had conspired against the gods were punished in the bowels of Tartarus. Those who could not be judged either way were left to roam through the Asphodel Fields into Erebus. Three judges named Minos, Aeacus, and Rhadamanthys, all sons of Zeus who had been just rulers in live, were given the task of judging the souls of the dead who passed through and deciding to where they belonged in the afterlife. Although Hades ruled all of Tartarus, he named that part of the underworld limited to the spirits of the afterlife after himself.
Hades was jealous of Zeus however and in anger tried to defeat his brother but Hercules, the demi god and Zeus's son, defeated Hades and Hades was once more forever locked away in the underworld... until he lost his memory....
You don’t know me and I’ll never be what you want me to be.
After:
Hades never slept so finding himself on the ground would have seemed strange to him. But it didn't. The robed figure got to his feet and dusted himself off then with a jerk realized that he was on fire. Hades screamed and waved at his blue hand but nothing occured. The fire didn't go out and... it didn't hurt. Wasn't fire supposed to ... well hurt and burn and other such things. Hades noticed two figures before him stirring to a wakeful state and they too started to move, utterly confused by what had just happened.
The creatures had horns and sharp tails, one purple, one blue and with a start Hades realized they were far from human. He gave a scream and they gave a scream and suddenly he was in a street filled with strange creatures also coming to. The day light blinded him and he had to put his hand up to protect his eyes. The fountain beside him reflected his appearance back to him and with a frown he leaned over closer to see what he looked like. A MONSTER. His eyes widened and he was gone in a puff of smoke one more.
And what do you think you’d understand? I’m a boy, no, I’m a man.
