He is able to convince numerous mortals to make deals with him and even the titans to do as he says. ![]() On the other hand, Hades does have a very intelligent, sly, and malicious demeanor. Zeus seems to see such conduct with his brother as inconsequential, which Hades finds especially irritating. Zeus deals with Hades an almost contemptibly joking and listless manner, taking almost nothing Hades says seriously. The other gods (apart from Zeus) don't seem to care for Hades, evidenced by the way they glare at him when he comes to view Hercules for the first time. He especially dislikes his brother Zeus and is jealous of the idle life that he and the other gods live in Olympus, while Hades is stuck with a "full-time gig" in the Underworld, surrounded by the dead, whom he loathes and looks down upon.

He is also known for being one of the few Disney Villains to provide comic relief.Īs Hades is an Olympian deity, he has a wide array of mystical powers. His status as a god and cunning mastermind make him one of the more powerful Disney Villains, although he is usually shown as a follower of other villains such as Maleficent in Disney crossovers. Woods has said that Hades is one of his favorite characters to portray, and he would gladly go on voicing the character whenever asked. In all of his appearances, Hades has been voiced by James Woods. Hades later reappeared in Hercules: The Animated Series and the Kingdom Hearts series. Unlike the mythological Hades, who is for the most part a relatively passive deity doing a sometimes nasty job, this version is a fast-talking, evil deity, reminiscent of Satan, as well as sleazy Hollywood Agent types (i.e. Hades is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1997 Disney movie Hercules, based on the Greek god Hades.
