Hades was the ancient Olympian god of the underworld. He was the brother of Zeus and Poseidon.
Hades was the ruler of the underworld, a place of firey torment. Robin once mentioned Hades when the weather in Florida was 120 degrees at a high altitude, a reference to the incredibly high temperatures of Tartarus.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Necromancy: As an Olympian god, he has the ability to control the dead, thereby making an army of undead zombies come from beyond the grave to do his bidding.
- Immortality: Like all other Olympians, he is ageless, and unless he is murdered or killed by some other means, he could live forever.
- Invulnerability: He cannot be harmed by mere mortals. He can however be harmed, and even killed, by other Olympians, or other species as powerful as him.
- Super strength: His strength levels are possibly even greater than Superman's.
Notes[]
Hades made his first DC Comics appearance in All-Star Comics # 8 (January 1942).[2]
