These are the Hercules task beast that were on the Teachers Chair from Roman Catholic Church art gallery I was wondering who or what would represent these beasts for Hercules fighting Marvel’s Hercules?

@Hazlenaut: Can you name/identify each one? Having that information might make it possible to find Marvel equivalents.

That is where I have difficulty since I only had enough time to copy the monsters from my mini notebook. The artwork had the beast, the tools he uses to kill them and the pose he did when he defeated them. My guess one is from on the left looks like a lion from the 12 labors.

Are you referring to the beasts Herc had to defeat in the 12 labors?

I don't know if these are the ones depicted on the artwork. But these are the beasts from the 12 labors.

Nemean Lion

Lernean Hydra

Erymanthean Boar

Stymphalian Birds

Cretan Bull

Cerberus

One of the monsters looks easily like a scorpion. There is a scorpion monster in Greek called Scorpius and Roman it is Scorpio.
