Heracles (Hercules)
Heracles (Hercules)
Think of the biggest, hunkiest guy that you've ever laid eyes on. Now multiply that hunky factor by the biggest number you can think of. There you go: Heracles. This son of Zeus wasn't just a hero, he became a god... literally. Heracles killed more monsters and more villains than most of the other Greek heroes combined. Guess it's no wonder that after he died, he was one of the very few mortals to be made into a god.
