Recruitment Dialogue: "You are wise indeed to seek the aid of the mighty Hercules! Come, let us share the Gift of Battle with these miscreants! "

Hercules
Bio: As the illegitimate son of Zeus, Hercules is one of the strongest heroes in the world. Unlike his fellow demigod Thor, Hercules makes no secret of his love for wine, women, and battle. Having bested countless monsters, gods, and villains, the Prince of Power now seeks anyone who can give him a challenge... or a drink.

[Sh@doww]

[MatanLi]

he dosent seem like much, not gonna bother since i wont be around for so4

[Magik]

I've got exactly 93 CP, but I think I'm going to wait for the Halloween Special Ops, just in case he isn't necessary and someone else is. Can't be too safe.. Playdom is tricky with their releases.

[PaleHeart52]

I love his troll laughing sprite.

Looks like we know who will be required for spec ops 4.

Good point. I need 65 more CP to get him. I just picked up P5 Colossus yesterday.... blah. My timing is awesome.
