Hercules is the son of Zeus and he is called the Prince of Power but Zeus will eventually leave his throne and let one of his sons rule, it is obviously Hercules (Hercules is Zeus's favorite), if Hercules becomes ruler of Olympus will he gain Zeus's power? Thor gained the Odinforce when he became ruler of Asgard so when Hercules becomes ruler of Olympus will he gaind the power of Zeus?
Hercules
Character » Hercules appears in 1962 issues.
One of six Olympian sons of Zeus, Hercules was born the savior of the Gods and mankind. Known as the Prince of Power, Hercules is one of the strongest beings in existence, an Olympian God and a modern superhero recognized throughout the world for his might. He has been a champion of mankind since ancient times and continues to defend the world in the modern age - most frequently as a member of the Avengers.
Will Hercules ever gain the power of Zeus?
I think Hercules should die from poisoning like in Greek Mythology. I think he became a god after he died.

He did, yeah he should die and then become a full god but it would be cool if he gains the power of Zeus, he would be as powerful as Thor but he should only get it when he gets a little older.
Zeus decides that the time of the gods is over, so he starts killing all of them. Apollo escapes and informs Hercules, then dies. Hercules journeys back from deep space to confront Zeus, and a battle starts. Hercules actually wins but doesn't kill Zeus. Afterwards Zeus seems to become calm again and tell his son that the greek gods time is over and he must decide to usher in a new race of gods. Zeus vanishes and leaves a orb full of his power. Hercules thinks about and whenit seems that he decides to let the gods die, he smailes and grabs the orb. His body begins to glow with power and it ends.
That's it in a nutshell. Great series. I think I read that the writer is gonna finish it because it was meant to a 12 part series not 4.

No, Ares is the one who would, Hercules wasn't able to save them from the Eastern death, Ares came back out of Exile and took care of it. Zeus begged on his knees for him to do it.

Ares was just the right choice for that particular battle. Hercules made a comic career smacking his half-brother around. Hercules is destined to become the king of the gods of olympus.

Ok, I wonder when Marvel will make up their minds and finally give Hercules the power of Zeus.

"Alpha said:I feel that would take away the essence of the character. He would be to powerful. I think they should allow him to become a full god. that would increase his power and allow him to continue to face some of the oponents we are used to seeing fight."Dr. Victor von Doom said:"No, Ares is the one who would, Hercules wasn't able to save them from the Eastern death, Ares came back out of Exile and took care of it.

I feel the same about Thor. I hope he loses the Odinforce, so thing can get back to normal.
"Theracles said:Yeah it would be too much power just like Thor but Marvel has probably planned it already, it would be a shock if someone goes to marvel.com in about a week and he finds out Zeus gave his power to Hercules for him to rule the Olympians."Alpha said:I feel that would take away the essence of the character.

Ares would never get the orb. Zeus has stated Ares is a not some one he would wanna have as son. He dislikes him so much that he doesn't even wanna talk about him. Looks like it was already pointed out by alpha of the answer. Sadly for hercules its gonna take a while for him to get such powers. Hopefully unlike his dad he can show the marvel universe what the power can do just like the odinforce.
"Theracles said:Now because he/she's in line for it, but he's Loki by odins beard! He'll cheat his way through!"Loki?"
Don't see that happening. "
"Hercules is far too stupid to wield such power. I agree that he is not worthy. Also: Didn't Zeus die already, in the Ares mini?"He's not that stupid......
"Loaded Revolver said:But it's more likely the half god would get the power first.Herc is more important and Marvel than either."He's not that stupid......"He's not that smart either. Apollo or Athena would be much better choices."
I think Zeus may have one day intended Hercules to succeed him, but I don't think Hercules would. He is years away from being ready. Unlike Thor who has been groomed since birth and tested time and again by Odin Zeus has not readied Hercules at all. Herc does not have the raw power, brains, or respect among the Olympians to rule. And unlike the Odinforce where Odin willfully passed his power to Thor there is no evidence Zeus's power survived his death. Hera made some vague reference to inheriting Zeus's thunderbolt, but unless Hera does something much more impressive then she has all she has gained is the ability to channel her energy in the form of lighting without any power up.
I think it is being set-up so Athena will be the one to rule. Hera is too mentally unstable. She has already banished most of the gods and made enemies of the remaining ones. I think Athena has the wisdom and with the power of becoming skyfather would be a formidable force for good.
Of course, it is possible all this will be mute should it turn out the skyfathers are nowhere near as powerful as they have been portrayed by comics in the past.
Hercules inheriting the "Power of" or "Thundebolt of Zeus" could've been one logical possibility following Zeus' apparent demise at the end of the Assault on Olympus storyline.
The Chaos War storyline now draws near, and if the rumors are true, Hercules will have the combined power of all the sky-fathers of all the Earthly pantheons. This power might well include the power of Zeus, but it would surely dwarf said power. In fact, this would be the highest level of power ever possessed/wielded by an earthly God.
I don't know if Herc will get this power or not, but if he indeed gets it, I think it's highly unlikely he'll keep such power. If it's true; it'll be fun to see Herc wielding that kind of power (especially with his close friend and rival Thor there to see it first-hand).
