History Comicbook / Hercules2015

* ModernizedGod: The "Storm" that threatens the old world of mythological beings turns out to be a trio of "new gods" born out of modern society's flaws and obsessions. They are Cryptomnesia, god of data and information with a constant access to the entirety of the Internet and all communication devices ; Catastrophobia, a modern-day god of war using targetting missiles and explosions ; and Horrorscope, the manifestation of toxic self-image and narcissism as a plastic surgery model.

* RatedMForManly: The Greek god of manliness, and a fearless, powerful superhero. That's Hercules in a nutshell.

For more information, see the Comicbook/IncredibleHercules page.

* BadassBeard: Herc's familiar manly mane returns.

* {{Transgender}}: Tiresias is an immortal man who was magically transformed to have the body of a woman during antiquity. Despite his physical sex, he is still referred to as a "he".

This series, written by Creator/DanAbnett, marks a radical departure from Hercules's portrayal for the past fifty years of publication. In the kindest words, Hercules has always been a second-string character and mostly seen as a BoisterousBruiser, BloodKnight, and [[TheAlcoholic drunkard]] both in-and-out-of-universe. In this series, Hercules decides that [[LetsGetDangerous he's tired of playing around]] and decides to get down to serious business being a hero and to remind the world that he was one of its "first" superheroes. As such, he starts a [[WeHelpTheHelpless heroic mercenary business]] where he is called upon to solve problems that most beings cannot.

* CombatPragmatist: Herc has always been known to [[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty fight dirty]], but now he's curbing his usual BloodKnight and BoisterousBruiser tendencies by using any weapons and tactics he deems necessary, including guns.

* WhenInRome: Herc's new policy is to conform to modern standards since humans have moved on.

* BadassLonghair: Herc has a new hairstyle, longer than his usual look, but shorter than his 90s mullet. When in battle, he ties it in a bun.

* MeaningfulName: All of the Uprising Storm:

* MoreThanMindControl: The Uprising Storm "brand" (a more modernish version of a curse) Hercules so that none of his fellow allies or Avengers will think he's sane. Their goal is to isolate him from everyone he trusts until he joins them.

* AngelOfDeath: Revealed in issue #3 that Athena (in her spectral form) is Hercules' personal vanguard back to Olympus at some point when he kicks the bucket, which is why she keeps appearing to him and only to him.

* YourCostumeNeedsWork: More like "your costume is hot", but the same principle applies. A random pretty jogger asks Herc whom he's "supposed to be", and when he tells her, she compliments his "cosplay" and jogs off.

* OffTheWagon: After being sober for months, issue #7 ends with Hercules drinking at a bar.
