Ok I have a question. I got a new comic of the Incregible Hulk titled God Smash part 1. Anyway there is part where bruce banner talks to Hercules and Bruce asks him to heal his friends and Hercules says I can because I no longer posses the powers of the all father. When did this happen? Plus Hercules also said im not a strong as I use to be. So when did Hercules lose his strangth? Please help.

Chaos War.

"Ok so Herc has been de-powered. So Dose that mean he lost all of his powers or was he just weakend? Let me put it this way I know he can't lift the World Serpent like Thor. But can he lift like a car at least? And what about his immortality dose he still have that? "

Yeah he seems pretty much baseline human.  
 
Not something I am happy about, but I guess if they are going to depower him, might as well do it all the way. If he can't throw a building, then being able to lift only a car I can't find appealing. Against the odds type storyline sounds okay. (in this context) Still, there are lots of unused demon and god characters Hercules could show his skill against and be relatively vulnerable to... 

Man this stinks Marvel always gives me the shaft when it comes to my favorite heroes. First they kill X-Man and Mimic then they brake up Spider-Man and Mary Jane they make Cyclops cheat on Jean With Emma then they kill the Human Torch now they De-Power Herc to human level. Whats next?

He actually mentioned "I'm not as strong as I used to be" and then punches Banner a good distance away to allow him to turn into Hulk. There's some strength there, or Banner is just a lightweight.

" @seekquaze: Hmm, I agree, it just seemed a little much. If we're saying top physical condition for a mortal, would that put him at Steve's level? "

Yeah, can see it isn't Thor's hammer. I don't want Herc to get his sky-father powers back.  I want him at his pre-Chaos War level.    In my opinion "Chaos War" was good overall, but it could have showcased Herc's power more. "

Pretty interesting things Marvel has done with ole' Herc. Definately have to check out his new series.

" He's de-powered now and has a new comic coming this spring featuring him battling evil-doers without his incalcuable strength, stamina and durability.   He'll have to rely on his fighting skills, weapon mastery and vast experience for now.  "

Dang, that sounds pretty badass. "

You lost me.  Chaos War was almost nothing but Hercules showcasing his powers.  Pak and Lente even specified in an interview they made Hercules the most powerful god ever.  His power was more on par with an abstract being rather than any god or even skyfather in the traditional sense.   
  
Yeah they said they made him the most powerful god ever and I love that!   
 
However, they never let him really cut loose and really use his power.  I would've liked to have seen Herc casually throwing around a few abstracts and high-level cosmic beings Ala Thanos in the Infinity Gauntlet.  Instead he spent way to much time having surrogates take the lead.  The whole thing would have been better if Herc had demonstrated his true power level more times and against many other poweful beings.   
 
An interview where the authors state how powerful Herc is/had become just isn't the same as seeing it depicted in action-packed sequential art.

I think recreating the multiverse and fighting Mikaboshi was meant to establish that.  Mikaboshi by this point was supposed to have power more in line with an abstract being than a god.  Same with Hercules.  Frankly, I am glad they did not have Hercules throwing around the abstracts.  I felt throwing around the Council Elite was a bit much.  The whole DBZ bit of Chaos War is one of the major reasons I do not like it. It feels like story was sacrificed just so Pak could go:  "See Hercules is the best god and can beat up anyone else!"   I just hate stories that have nothing more than "My characters is in ubergodmode, impossible better than every other character out there!"  I did not like Sentry because of it.  I did not like the early Rhulk stories because of it. I feel similar about WWH as well.     Why would you want Hercules to be throwing around the abstracts?  By that point wouldn't it be about humiliating them for no other reason than to pump Hercules up? "

Recreating the multiverse was quite a feat, yes.  And I get that you felt Sentry, Rulk and WWHulk were portrayed as being too powerful, but Herc was amped to the point of being the most powerful god ever.  I think that would make him kicking ass on a cosmic level  more acceptable than these others.  It seemed pretty obvious that Herc's amping was temporary, so why not have him cut loose?    As far as why I'd have liked to see Herc throwing the abstracts around; it's entirely plausible that the many and varied top-tier abstracts and cosmics would feel threatened by Herc with his new found power and would then mount an assault on him.  The action and excitement of that battle would/could have been truly epic.  As for the humiliation of the abstracts; it's hard to feel any sympathy for these characters as many are far to haughty and deserve a bit of comeuppance.  Herc whupping there buts would've provided some really incredible action scenes, and those are a big part of why many of us read comics.    Large over-the-top action would definitely been appropriate in a story like this.  You don't seem to think so.  That's fine.  But why wouldn't you want to see characters with nearly infinite power use and demonstrate that power?  If you prefer small scale action and a lot of dialogue why not read the books about lower-powered angst-ridden characters?  This was supposed to be an epic event but I think it could/should have delivered more action if it wanted to live up to it's premise.  Since Herc was the hero and focus of the story, I feel he should have been given more action, feats and highlights than he got.  You're glad they didn't.    Maybe you prefer lower and non-powered heroes and stories about them.  If so, maybe you'll like the now de-powered Herc fighting street-level threats and villains.   "

"  Alright, now I got it;  it was the execution of the story and the fact that the presence of the heroes (other that Hercules) was pretty much made pointless due to there actual inability to have any effect on Mikaboshi.  I now see that you were dissappointed in how Hercules used or, more accurately, didn't use his new ominpotence.    We actually do agree, to a certain degree, on some of these points.
