Strongest in the World!-Superstars Profile#59

Hercules 

Real name: Unknown 

Home: Tampa, FL

Membership: The Heenan Family, House of Humperdink, the Assassins, Power & Glory

A.K.A.: Hercules Hernandez, Assassin#2, Mr. Wrestling III, Super Invader, Raymond Fernandez 

Finisher: Full Nelson

Background: God or madman?

A fellow was found wandering around Florida, seemingly with no name or history. He was processed into the system and later discharged. Classy Freddy Blassie, however, saw potential in him. He was like clay, able to be molded to be anything, plus he could bench press a bus. 

Blassie, however, retired soon after training the fellow and sold him to Slick. The Doctor of Style found him too wild to control and soon sold him to the Heenan Family. The Brain had a bit more luck, using him mostly as muscle, although he did have a few fights with Hulk Hogan. He also picked a fight with the Ultimate Warrior, which ended up with the would-be demigod's chain shattering. After that failure, the Brain sold him to Ted DiBiase.

The Million Dollar Man treated him about the same as his former manservant Virgil, which is to say pretty lousy. Hercules declared himself no man's slave and waged war on DiBiase. He had a few pyrrhic victories here and there, but nothing amazing. He founded Power and Glory with Paul Roma but that team ended with a whimper. 

Hercules had one final match with Sid Justice and vanished from the face of the Earth.
