'''Hades''' (ハデス Hadesu) is the unexpected main antagonist of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is the god and master of the [[Underworld]], and is responsible for [[Medusa]]'s revival, which originally set the events of the game in motion. Medusa was revived as a distraction against [[Pit]] while Hades was busy gathering souls of the human race in order to store them within his realm. He accomplished this by using lies to turn different nations against each other, causing war to break out. | '''Hades''' (ハデス Hadesu) is the unexpected main antagonist of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.

Hades first appears at the end of [[Medusa's Final Battle|Chapter 9]], where he interrupts the game's credits sequence after the defeat of Medusa to reveal his master plan. He states that it what him who revived Medusa, partly because of her hatred towards Palutena. In the [[Chapter 10|next chapter]], it is revealed that Hades created the rumor of the [[Wish Seed]] in order to make humans fight amongst each other which led [[Viridi]], the goddess of nature, to destroy them for their hubris. This was all part of his plan to collect the souls of all the countless human soldiers lost in battle. This soon leads him into conflict with the [[Forces of Nature]], the [[Underworld Army]], and [[Palutena's Army]]. | |||
Later in [[Mysterious Invaders|Chapter 15]], Hades agrees to a temporary alliance and joins the Forces of Nature and Palutena's Army to work together in order to destroy the [[Aurum]], but after this threat has passed, Palutena's Army and the Forces of Nature return to fighting against Hades's forces and each other. | |||
After the three-year time skip in [[Chapter 19]], Hades hints out that it was him who captured Pit's soul in the [[Ring of Chaos]]. His reasoning for doing so are still unknown, but is likely that he got help from the [[Chaos Kin]] to do so. | |||
In [[Chapter | In [[Scorched Feathers|Chapter 22]], Hades is revealed to be using the souls of the humans he captures in order to replicate Underworld monsters, but even worse, it is also revealed that it takes numerous souls to create a single monster, wasting them entirely. This is seen as a disturbance in the balance, and all enemies of Hades greatly oppose his actions. | ||
Pit, armed with the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] finally confronts Hades in [[Chapter 23]], but the Underworld god easily destroys the Three Sacred Treasures with a single blast of his "raunchy breath" and ends up swallowing Pit whole. According to the Idol description of Hades' Belly, Pit is actually transported to another realm and is not really inside of Hades. Pit struggles to escape Hades' twisted insides and soon manages to destroy [[Hades's Heart]] in an explosion, allowing [[Dark Pit]] to see Pit's location and rescue him with the [[Lightning Chariot]]. However Hades remains unfazed despite his heart's destruction. | |||
Pit later confronts him in [[The War's End|Chapter 25]] with the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], battling and pursuing Hades using it to destroy various weapons that cover Hades's body. The Great Sacred Treasure changes forms as it is damaged, its third form cuts Hades in half but he simply respawns his lower half and continues to fight Pit. Eventually, he manages to destroy the Great Sacred Treasure and leave Pit temporarily vulnerable, allowing him to charge up his most powerful attack. Palutena tells Pit that a force (Medusa) is seeking Hades and Pit must guide this force. As Hades is about to release his attack, Medusa suddenly appears and distracts him with a blindsiding punch, destroying his head. However, the god grows a new one and furiously destroys Medusa with a single blow. Viridi then grants Pit the [[Power of Flight]] as he wields the remaining cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure while Palutena charges the gun with her energy. When the gun reaches its maximum charge, Pit fires the cannon, unleashing a devastating blast which destroys Hades once and for all, bringing peace once more to the realm and all its inhabitants. | |||
While seemingly destroyed, if the player waits five minutes past the ending credits he reveals that his soul is still very much intact and begins to compliment Pit on his skill and power, and seems to be somewhat proud of him. He then begins to make comical empty threats which is usual of his joking nature. The god claims that his condition is quite bad and might not be able to resurrect himself. He begins to whine about missing his body and all the women who will miss his godly physique as well. Despite the loss of his body, Hades hopes to figure out a way to resurrect himself in the next twenty-five years (when he assumes the next sequel will be released) and get his revenge, but until then he gives Pit a few tips and to prove he's not a sore loser, unlocks a special [[Boss Battles|challenge]] for him. He then gives a few parting words to the player and announces that ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' is his new favorite game before signing out. | |||

*Hades has appeared in many Greek myths and legends as [[Poseidon]] and [[Zeus]]'s brother. Although Poseidon was in the game, he mentioned nothing about Hades, so there is no way to see if this applies to the game. | *Hades has appeared in many Greek myths and legends as [[Poseidon]] and [[Zeus]]'s brother.

*Hades was assumed to be the most powerful of the gods, but in [[The Three Trials|Chapter 24]], it was hinted that [[Dyntos|Lord Dyntos]] was more powerful because he could create an army that would be stronger than the [[Underworld Army]]. This was never actually proven in the chapter though. However, the in-game Idol information states that the fact that Dyntos is able to "put [[Palutena]] to sleep miles away" is evidence that Dyntos's power exceeds even that of Hades. | |||
