In his normal state, Hades has blue skin and blue flaming "hair". His eyes are completely yellow except for his black pupils. He has very sharp teeth and an unnatural black mouth. His face is quite long and thin, with his chin jutting out curtly. His fingers are long, thin, and clawed. He wears what appears to be a dark grey shirt underneath a black toga, the latter of which seems to be held up by a small skull pin on his right shoulder. Hades's feet are never visible, due to the length of his robes. | In his normal state, Hades has blue skin and blue flaming "hair". His eyes are completely yellow except for his black pupils.

Hades is one of the most hot-tempered characters in the series. Although others are shown to be temperamental, Hades bursts out in fury on a more regular basis. When Hades gets mad, he explodes into a red pillar of fire and his normal blue colored "hair" burns red (which is ironic since blue fire is warmer than red fire). | Hades is one of the most hot-tempered characters in the series.

While the Greek version of this deity has a humanoid depiction and is, for the most part, a relatively passive but unmerciful deity, the Disney version is depicted as an evil god with a hatred for his brother Zeus, jealous of being assigned to the Underworld while his younger brother became ruler of Olympus. Both versions of Hades also have a series of demonic beasts at their disposal, and reign supreme over the souls of the dead. Believers in the Grecian Hades would show their devotion to their god by going as far as to bang on the ground to ensure he was listening to their prayers. Major differences between these two depictions of Hades are that the Disney Hades is trying to overthrow Zeus, has an affiliation with fire, and is served by the demons [[Pain and Panic]], qualities that were actually associated with {{w|Alcyoneus}}, {{w|Hephaestus}}, and {{w|Ares}}, respectively, in the original mythology. | ||

He later has sidekicks Pain and Panic kidnap the baby and turn him mortal so that he could be killed, the dark god plotting while Hercules aged. Hades eventually found a girl named Megara in his ownership, using her to lure Hercules into his traps once he learned the hero had lived. Hades succeeded in freeing the Titans and taking over Olympus as prophesied eighteen years ago, yet he was defeated at Hercules's hand. The god was then sent tumbling into the River Styx. | ||
