Hades: Difference between revisions

'''Hades''' (ハデス Hadesu) is the unexpected primary antagonist of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is the true ruler of the [[Underworld]] and is responsible for [[Medusa]]'s revival, which 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 is an extremely powerful deity, easily one of the most powerful characters in the game, possibly second in might only to [[Dyntos]]. As the god of the Underworld and its true master, Hades has full power of control over his realm, with it appearing to be impossible to enter it without him knowing it right away, and he could house himself anywhere within the Underworld he wanted, even in the darkness, not needing a castle to live in like Medusa. Hades could use the souls sent to his realm to revive fallen allies and increase the size of his army. He could also devour them and increase his own power if he wanted to, but doing so would unbalance the natural order.  

In battle, Hades proved to be a deadly opponent, showing tremendous magical, weapons, and hand-to-hand combat prowess. Hades could fire off powerful energy blasts and barrages from different parts of his body, like his eyes and hands. He has a suit of armor he dubs as his "devastation ensemble", which is covered with weapons also capable of firing powerful magic attacks. Hades is shownto be quite adept in taijutsu, able to attack very fluidly and quickly with unbelievable strength. Hades is able to nonchalantly tear off Medusa's (a goddess similar to himself in size) right arm with one hand and destroy most of her body and kill her with one punch. Despite being so huge, Hades is extremely fast, arguably one of the fastest character in the game, able to keep up with the Great Sacred Treasure by merely sprinting and could fly at incredible speeds.  

Given his size, along with his strength and status as a god, Hades has incredible durability and vitality, having survived being bisected and beheaded only to regenerate these body parts easily and not even be slowed down. Even when his heart was destroyed, Hades simply to brushes it off with a joke. Like the other gods, Hades is able to telepathically talk to others and project a giant astral hologram of himself wherever he wants. He also has a suction ability, which allowed him to swallow things whole.
