Herakles is listed as a level-12 Alien Warrior.

Yea I think the God of Strength&Heroes could use a power up. Suggestions?

Power set 1.
Supernatural Strength; Natural Combat Ability, Invulnerability; Animal Abilities-Large Cat; Multiple Lives; Healing Factor; Manipulate Kinetic Energy.

Well is this sorta better? Along the right lines?

[Tor]

No indication he has NAC.

Considering the guy in Pantheons (the mutant Herb) has Inv+ExtPS, I'd say SuperH or SuperN is in order.

Why Cat?

Why not just use his deity stats? Or create him as a demigod mutant?

[say652]

I am using his attributes as his base and increasing them also adding the power sdc to his current sdc of of olympia. Lets see an impostor greek pantheon, an evil lesser god and the mutant half wit son of Thor.
Not sure if he wont kill everybody the impostors for ruining his good name, the shadow god for being evil and PowerSurge for being related to Thor and a dumbass for not realizing what is happening around him.

I am beefing Him up to be more on Par with Thor. I think a rematch might be in the air.....

I cant send the impostor Hercules that the real Herakles already beat to defeat the other Hercules impostor. Wow total Herception there lol.

[Glistam]

After re-reading the section in CB2 on Herakles and understanding who you're talking about, I wouldn't even make the conversion. Just keep his powers as they are already listed. No reason to instead give him the 5 minor powers that the books presents as an option.

[say652]

He needed a power increase, Lasted two melees against Mjonir in a test run.

Mega-Hero; Tremendous SDC; Gravity Manipulation, Immortality, and Invulnerabilty: typically performs feats of strength a hundred times beyond supernatural -- but if he's trading blows with someone who can actually put up a fight, expect his foe to start dazedly staggering around like a punch-drunk palooka of the can-barely-stand variety.

(Of course, that's just Hercules switching from reduce gravity to increase gravity, but why would he mention that? Heck, he might even sell it as like unto Divine Aura: confidently shouting a godly command right before the other guy -- reacts as if taking a knee while awestruck.)

[say652]

1/4 damage from magic weapons; 1/6 damage supernatural strength. With the body hardening he can only lift Ps×5000lbs (same as gravity manipulation, and can parry weapons with his wrists) I wanted to capture that God of Strength aspect and the God of Heroes aspect. 11 attacks is pretty good. With the upgrades I focused more on the unarmed warrior dominating a battlefield vibe.

From the 2nd edition revised post found here on the HU section.

HERACLES (HERCULES)

Heracles has come to challenge any super-strong PC to a contest of might. Along the way, he is
likely to cause a certain amount of trouble. However, he is ultimately a well-intentioned hero
who tries to right injustice and destroy evil. He can be an ally or a nuisance (G.M.s call). He will
try to control his fits of temper, but he is still prone to violent rages if provoked, frustrated, or
angered beyond his endurance (insulting or mocking him is a quick way to get him going). He
can be a little over powering for most games, so I suggest use his wisely and with discretion.

I shall reluctantly concede the Multiple Lives. Under duress 20+ years of rpg and liking to play bricks, most of my characters die very very fast. Hence the durability.

But it's ever so convenient for preventing the loss of clones.
