Hercules (Marvel) vs Herakles (Image)
"@Hellos: Too colorful for you? "
He looks like Chuck Norris mixed with 80's Hair band front man... and The Hulk... Then there is the whole Roman sci-fi thing.

lol! Yeah, I see what you mean.
Myself? I always kinda liked the way Erik Larsen seemed to combine elements of Marvel Hercules and DC Hercules (the version Walt Simonson drew for the Hercules 'Who's Who in the DC Universe' bio).

And does he have Ultimate Warrior boots on?
"It does kinda look like 'em, doesn't it? The boots also look almost exactly like the ones Simonson drew on DC Hercules for his bio page in 'Who's Who?' "
So what kind of feats does this guy have? It looks like there are some Middle Eastern Gods chilling in the background.

Nothing too extensive for Herakles as far as I know, but I once saw him get both of his arms ripped right off by a character called Zeke who was/is a descendant of the Titan Atlas.

Hercules FTW.
"
Marvel Hercules is at his pre-Chaos War power-level. Image Herakles is at his typical power-level as shown in various issues of 'Savage Dragon.'
Which version the original mythological strongman do you think wins in no-holds-barred battle?
"
How strong is image Hecules
Image Herakles has shown neither strength nor durability feats at the same levels of Marvel's Hercules.
As for fighting skills, Herakles did show skill in his battles with Savage Dragon (and other beings in nthat same comic) but I don't think he displayed much to put his skills above those of Hercules.
Hercules for the win.
