Heracles
(Maxie Zeus henchman)
Context
Because *everybody* wants to have Maxie Zeus as their main villain and is looking for henchmen for him. Admit it already !
This obscure character appeared in one 1996 Robin story, and I think that’s it. But he seemed fun, and we sort of collect obscure giant henchmen types.

Powers and Abilities
Heracles is a huge man with an awful lot of muscle. He can lift and crush stuff like nobody’s business, and due to his musculature it’s very hard to get a telling punch or kick against him.
He also has a solid amount of Hero Points for a thug, making him able to deliver a few good Phases of combat. And he’s fast and adroit for his size.
History
Heracles is the code name of a hulking thug employed by Maxie Zeus.
He’s quite efficient for a thug, and is often a boon to Maxie’s demented plans.
Description
See illustration.
Personality
Heracles doesn’t speak at all. Not only is he the strong, silent type, but he’s also a man of action. He’ll easily get bored and itching to apply his gigantic strength to a problem.
Heracles is very loyal and/or very well paid, and also acts as a bodyguard for Zeus. He can be counted on to follow orders to quell any mutiny in the ranks.
Quotes
(Maxie Zeus to his crew) : “Now, it’s time for Heracles to labour !”
