Upon Sora's second visit to the destroyed Coliseum, Hercules is still depressed. Hades forces Hercules to join in the tournaments in the [[Underdrome]] and uses Megara as threat. Before the finals, Sora and the others encounter their friend [[Auron]], who was being brainwashed at the time. In order to buy them time, Hercules offers to fight Auron one-on-one in a death match. Sora, Donald, and Goofy stop the fight just as Hercules is about to run out of endurance and help Auron regain his will. Angered by the outcome, Hades throws Megara into the Styx and Hercules jumps in after her and so regains his strength by reminding himself that a true hero's strength comes from his heart. With the revived Hercules on their side, the group defeats Hades, and witnesses the creation of a new constellation shaped like Sora, Donald, and Goofy, making the trio true heroes at long last. | Upon Sora's second visit to the destroyed Coliseum, Hercules is still depressed.

Extremely muscular, with broad shoulders and a comparatively thin waist, Hercules is always seen wearing orange-brown armor that ends in metal kilt. His armor does not extend to his arms, nor to most of his legs. He wears a brown belt around his waist with a gold emblem with the symbol of Zeus printed on it. Hercules's sandals are knee-high and have cross-shaped straps and are brown, as are two wristbands he also wears. He has a reddish-brown headband tied around his forehead, pushing back his rust-colored hair, save for one bang that falls over it in the form of an S-curl. The only aspects of Hercules's appearance not colored in earth tones are his sky blue eyes and short, deep blue cape. He is occasionally seen with a simple sword with a brown handle and yellow cross-guard, but apparently prefers to fight barehanded. | Extremely muscular, with broad shoulders and a comparatively thin waist, Hercules is always seen wearing orange-brown armor that ends in metal kilt.

In | In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', a much younger Hercules is seen prior to becoming a hero. His appearance is like in ''{{w|Hercules (1998 TV series)|Hercules: The Animated Series}}''. At this point in his life, Hercules was rather scrawny and far from muscular. His sandals were not knee-high like his current self's, and he wore a plain white toga that left most of his legs, his arms, and the right side of his chest exposed. There was a metal pendant engraved with Zeus's symbol that was attached to the strap on his left shoulder. His headband and wristbands were also absent. His hair was a bit longer as well, being just about shoulder-length and seemed to be a brighter shade of orange than it is now. | ||

When fought in the Titan and Paradox Titan cups in the Underdrome during ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Hercules uses powerful punches and headbutts, and can jump and unleash a shockwave when he lands. He can also summon a gold aura, turning himself invincible, inspired by the end of his Disney movie. | When fought in the Titan and Paradox Titan cups in the Underdrome during ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Hercules uses powerful punches and headbutts, and can jump and unleash a shockwave when he lands.

Hercules assists Sora | For two fights with Hades, Hercules assists Sora as an ally. He uses his punch attacks, and has two special commands: '''Aura Guard''', which summons a barrier around him to protect Sora, and '''Aura Sphere''', which summons two orbs of energy that, when hit into Hades, extinguish his fire and render him vulnerable to physical and magical attacks. | ||

In the Disney film, Hercules was kidnapped as an infant from his home on Mount Olympus and turned mortal by Pain and Panic. Growing up a strong, teased and misunderstood teenager with mortal adopted parents, Hercules left home to seek out his true identity. A conversation with his father Zeus told him to seek out Philoctetes, trainer of heroes, and learn to be a "true hero" so he could reclaim godship. Hercules arose to fame, and eventually found love in Megara. It was a love for this woman that allowed Hercules to become a "true hero" when he risked his life for hers. | In the Disney film, Hercules was kidnapped as an infant from his home on Mount Olympus and turned mortal by Pain and Panic.
