Hercules

Hercules is a Superhuman Warrior Beast that appeared in episode 14 of the Great Mazinger anime.

Appearance
Hercules is somewhat as a medieval knight appearance with gray legs and arms and a small gold-like battle skirt and a black belt with a buckle with its true face on it and a yellow chest with blue lines all across it with yellow dots and gray spikes on its shoulders and a knight helmet for head.

Abilities and Equipment
Hercules wields a large pick axe it uses for close combat. Despite its bulky and heavy frame, it is capable of moving through the sea bed. It is armed with missiles on its torso as well as a smaller missile on its chest. It is also capable of releasing beams from its true face on the belt buckle.

History
Hercules was sent by the Great General to destroy the damaged Science Lab. So Great Mazinger was launched to the sea. There he found Hercules who bore a hole in the chest of the Great. In response, thinking Tetsuya was dead, he headed down to the Science Lab, which was half-sunk courtesy of the Mikelos. Hercules found Venus A and Boss Borot keeping the Lab from sinking. They refused to budge from their positions, despite Hercules' attacks, then Great Mazinger came and destroyed Hercules with Thunder Break.

Etymology
Hercules is named after the Greek hero Heracles, known in Rome as Hercules.
