15 Most Insanely Overpowered Superheroes In The Marvel Universe

3. Hercules

Hercules has of course been a legend of myth in world culture for hundreds of years, and it was almost inevitable that a comic book publisher would appropriate his story and retell his history as that of a superhero instead. And because his billing was already well established, he had to come into the Marvel universe with an incredible power set. That's why he has been seen to have the power to hold his own against even Thor. And just like the God Of Thunder, he too has too much power.

As an Olympian, he's immortal, doesn't age, is immune to disease and toxins and has a healing factor like Wolverine's. He's super strong, super durable and has the stamina of a God, standing toe-to-toe with both Hulk and Thor and stopping a punch thrown by Sentry with just his hand. And in his most remarkable moment has held the very weight of the heavens for three hours in Atlas' place. That implies an unfeasible toughness that has been amplified way above the level it should be at (particularly as he's never been considered an A-lister.)
