Hercules (Earth-975)

History

Hercules 2099

Hercules largely retained the history of his 2099 counterpart.

In this universe, it was the Hulk whom Hercules befriended while drinking instead of the Sub-Mariner 2099.

Overview

The world had changed tremendously, but Hercules remained essentially the same gallant drinker who enjoyed getting into every situation possible and living life intensely as if each moment were the last, and he was wholeheartedly dedicated to those he considered his friends. No doubt the world had changed a lot, but so what? He was already alive for centuries as one of the world's first superheroes and he had already witnessed humanity transform itself countless times, so the new condition of humanity did not bother him. He had seen things even worse than the dystopic future ruled by global mega-corporations, and he knew that good or bad, that would pass too, so he didn't mind and hoped to live intensely through that age too. It is important to mention that, unlike Hercules 2099 from Earth-23291, this futuristic version of Hercules is not a decadent and pathetic drinker who spends most of his time drunk and gets violent due to his alcohol dependence. Even though he enjoys drinking, he keeps his sobriety even when consuming alcoholic beverages from 2099, requiring immense amounts of alcohol to make him drunk.
