The villain of Disney's Hercules is a suave, sophisticated, witty guy... well, actually, god... with a baaad temper. To take over Mount Olympus, he must first get rid of Hercules. When his minions fail to kill the baby Hercules, he has to pull out every trick in the book to keep Hercules from becoming a god - and Hades has some pretty good dirty tricks!

Comments:
Hades is so awesome. His temper, his looks, and his styles made him my 2nd favorite Disney Villain (the first being Mozenrath.) He is far more superior than Zeus, Hercules and even Sora, and he deserves to be the True King of the Gods.

Favorite quotes:
(talking about war)Hades: Wha? Naaaa!! Well, I mean it's a *possibility*, it's *war*, but hey, you don't care about those people!
Hades: We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, go home happy, what'd'ya say. Come on.
Hades: How sentimental. You know I haven't been this choked up since I got a hunk of moussaka caught in my throat.
Hades: The son of my hated rival trapped forever in a river of death? Hmm... is there a catch?
~ Anon.
Hercules: You like making deals. Take me in Meg's place.
Hades: Oh, hmph. The son of my hated rival trapped forever in a river of death.
Hercules: Going once!
Hades: Hmm? Is there a downside to this?
Hercules: Going twice!
Hades: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! You get her out. She goes, you stay.
[Hercules dives in to save Megera]
Hades: Oh, you know what slipped my mind? You'll be dead before you can get to her. That's not a problem, is it?Zeusy, I'm home!
So is this an audience or a mosaic?
Zeus: So, Hades, you finally made it. How are things in the underworld?
Hades: Well, they're just fine. You know, a little dark, a little gloomy. And, as always, hey, full of dead people. What are you gonna do?Memo to me, memo to me: maim you after my meeting.
Hades: I'm sorry. You mind runnin' that by me again? I must have had a chunk of brimstone wedged in my ear or something.
Meg: Then read my lips! Forget it.
Hades: Meg, Meg, Meg, my sweet deluded little mignon. Aren't we forgetting one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little, tiny detail? ...I OWN YOU!!!!!!!He's gotta have a weakness, because everybody's got a weakness. I mean, for what? Pandora, it was the box thing. For the Trojans, hey. They bet on the wrong horse, okay?
Hades: I can't believe this guy. I throw everything I've got at him, and it doesn't even...
[Hades notices Pain is wearing Air-Hercs]
Hades: What... are... *those*?
Pain: Um, I don't know. I-I thought they looked kinda dashing and...
Hades: I've got 24 hours to get rid of this bozo, or the entire scheme I've been setting up for 18 years goes up in smoke, and YOU are WEARING HIS MERCHANDISE?!?!?!
[Hades almost blows up in front of Pain, but stops to see Panic drinking a Hercules drink]
Panic: Thirsty?
[Hades explodes]Uh, guys? Olympus would be that way.
We were so close! So close. We tripped at the finish line. Why? Because our little nutMeg has to go all noble.
Meg: I've done my part. Get your little imps...
Hades: They couldn't handle him as a baby. I need aomebody who can handle him as a man.
Meg: Hey, I've sworn off manhandling.
Hades: Well, you know, that's good because that's what got you into this jam in the first place, isn't it? You sold your soul to me to save your boyfriend's life. And how does this creep thank you? By running off with some babe. He hurt you real bad, didn't he, Meg? Huh?
Meg: Look, I learned my lesson, okay?
Hades: Which is exactly why I got a feelin' you're gonna leap at my new offer. You give me the key to bringing down Wonder Breath, and I give you the thing that you crave most in the entire cosmos: your freedom.I'm about to rearrange the cosmos, and the one schlemiel who can louse it up is waltzing AROUND IN THE WOODS!!
The Fates: In 18 years precisely / The planets will align ever so nicely.
Hades: Ay, verse. Oy.
The Fates: The time to act will be at hand / Unleash the Titans, your monstrous band.
Hades: Mmm-hmm. Good, good.
The Fates: Then the once-proud Zeus will finally fall / And you, Hades, will rule all!
Hades: Yes! Hades rules!
The Fates: A word of caution to this tale.
Hades: Excuse me?
The Fates: Should Hercules fight, you will fail.
Hades: [shouting at the top of his lungs] What?
Hades: [calm] Okay, fine, fine. I'm cool. I'm fine.My favorite part of the game - sudden death.

Quotes from Kingdom Hearts:
That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it?
Rather a stubborn old goat, wouldn't you say? Whoa, hold on there, fuzz boy. Wait, let me guess. You want to enter the games, right? (puts his hand on Sora's shoulder) Well, then, hey, get a load of this. It's all yours. Good luck, kid. I'm pulling for you, little shorty.
That little punk is your next opponent, okay? Now, don't blow it. Just take him out.
I know! You think I don't know? I wrote the contract! I know it says you're only required to kill Hercules in this tournament. But you've gotta fight that kid to get to him. Come on. Hey, it's like that old goat says: Rule 11: It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it! I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?
Geez. Stiffer than the stiffs back home. Still, suckers like him are hard to come by...
Oh, right, there was one other rule I forgot: Accidents happen. (looking at the Hercules' image in his hand) He's strong, he's kind. He's always there for you, and he's handsome to boot. He's perfect. Perfect. (angry) Perfectly infuriating! He makes me crazy. (calms down) Wait a minute. What are you talking about? All the pieces are in place. Relax. Here's what you do. Let Hercules train the kid. In the next games, I'll take care of them both.
Who invited you to this party? Stay out of this. This is my show.
That smarmy vizier could've had 'em-if someone had stuck around to give him a hand.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lighten up. I'm as cool as they come, okay? (to Riku) By the way, kid, have we got something special for you. Name's Hades, Lord of the Dead, and I'm here to take you Down Under!
Quotes from Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories:
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait just a MINUTE! What is THIS? "Hercules is a model of true strength and gallantry - the perfect hero"?! (going into a rage) Oh, he's perfect, all right. PERFECTLY INFURIATING! Just thinking about that little sunspot makes me boil! Grraah! I'd like to send him to the Underworld...permanently!
(simmering down) That's right. You're my man...Cloud.
Your job is to beat Hercules in the games. And once you've got him cornered...finish the job. Do that for me.
Now, now, Cloud, we don't want to spill the beans.
Looks like you oversold yourself, Cloud. All you did was wear him down. This doesn't look good for your performance rating... Let me put it this way: You, my spiky-haired friend, are fired.
Did you really think you could get back your lost memories just like that? Get a grip!
I said, you're through! This time I'll take care of Irk-ules myself!
Rule #5! It's never too late to enter the games.
Cloud may have failed to take you out, but he did break you down. Time for Plan B. Pack your pita, Herc, 'cause you've just won a free trip to the Underworld — paid by me!
Good point, kid. I guess you'll just have to go with him! Rule #6! There are no rules! Ha ha!
Quotes from Kingdom Hearts II:
Where do they dig these freaks up? Geez, Louise.
Dead... Dead is good! And I know just the warrior.
Just the Underworld's deepest dungeon. This time I'm bringing out the mother of all bad guys.
Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal I'm gonna offer you. I let you out of the slammer---no strings---you'll be free as a bird. And all for one little job. Fight Hercules, in the Coliseum...to the death!
Did you forget who you're talking to? I am the Lord of the Dead!
You are FIRED!
That's right! See, that's the thing. In the Underworld, heroes are zeroes---comes with the territory.
This is my underworld, you idiot! I'll handle this MYSELF!
Cerberus, go!
Let me see if I got this right... That brat's Keyblade works on any lock?
Have I ever told you about the killer coliseum we have right here in the Underworld? It makes the one upstairs look like an Olympic kiddie pool.
Bingo... All we gotta do is swipe that key...and then reopen the Underdrome!
What's wrong, your hero-ness? Feeling under the weather?
You know, I though staying in perfect shape was part of the hero job description...you know what I'm saying?
I came to share a bit of mildly-interesting news: Seems your dear, sweet little Nutmeg...... went and got herself lost in the Underworld.
You've got a very important match today, against, um... the bloodthirsty Hydra! I mean, if you don't stick around, who knows what kind of "accidents" might happen.
Could today possibly get any better? This time Wonder-breath is going down for good.
Well, if it isn't everyone's favorite hero washout. You really blew it this time.
Yeah, yeah, Styx and stones. Hey, maybe you should go check on that Hydra you neglected to finish off. I hear things are really FALLING APART up there, champ.
Hate to run, but I've got another little diversion to attend to.
That's right...Blunderboy. How can you mope on a momentous day like today?
The Underdrome's back, and you are gonna fill the stands. After all, your fans won't settle for anything less than a certified hero.
(placing an arm on Herc's shoulder): I mean, if you're not up to it, you could always just, I dunno, LOSE?
Excuse me? Hey, I'm not a selfish guy. I'm not like those high and mighty snobs up on Olympus. I stand for the masses! And have I got a massive idea! The games, ladies and gentlemen...are back! Yours truly, Hades---the one and only Lord of the Dead---brings you the ultimate games, to celebrate the re-opening of the ultimate coliseum! We'll finally answer the age-old question: Who deserves the title "Ultimate Hero"? These games are gonna settle the debate once and for all! The winner reigns supreme. Of what? You guessed it! The Hades Cup! And I assure you that the "Great" Hercules will be there. Otherwise... You'll never see your girlfriend again.
Sora (as Hades vanishes): Lowlife.
Hades: You're too kind, kid.
Hades: Okay, let's review. State your crime, prisoner.
Auron: I exist. That is my crime. It is...inexcusable.
Hades: Ooh, good, very good. Okay, so you made one lousy mistake: you exist. But hey, I'm a forgiving guy. You keep your end of our little deal, and I'm willing to overlook a transgression or two. (leaning an elbow on Auron's shoulder): Oh, don't tell me you've forgotten who's in charge? (He places a hand on Auron's shoulder and several pyreflies swirl around it. Auron groans in pain. Hades pulls out a figurine of Auron) Hercules and the other three. Are we clear?Tell me you're not thinking of leaving. You've got a match coming up.
On one condition! The Keyblader, here, and his trusty friends have to meet the winner in one final clash, whaddya say?
Sucker! You know for me, the rest is smooth sailing.
(losing it) Why those little---Ugh, prisoner! What happened to our mutual agreement? I can give you a clean slate, but you gotta work with me.
That's it! This game is over. I've played by the rules so far. Okay, I confess! I was hoping Wonderboy would lose, but it was still a fair fight. C'mon, is that really so wrong? Huh?
Laugh, laugh, laugh all you want! (laughs weakly) Because the laughing is about to stop. Wanna know why? Because now we're gonna play by my rules.
Looks like Wonderboy has dropped out of the standings.
Hmph...That's it!
What is so funny, you imbeciles! How dare you get a happy ending! How DARE you!
This isn't happening!
It's...not over...yet...
Quotes from the TV Series:
[taunting] I'm a hero in training... Brrrgg! [He's playing with a chess set, designed with a Hercules figure and other monsters. He proceeds to move them about as he talks.] I go left, boom- Hercules cuts me off. I fake right- BAM, he intercepts. What do I gotta do to get this muck out of my face?!
Hades, Lord of the Underworld, how you doing - your host with the ghosts...ha ha!
Oh, of course, I'm sorry! It's a mistake, of course...! Tell me another one stretch face, now come on... you are, to put it gently, DEAD. Okay? Wrong side of the grass. Let's start focusing on the "quality of the afterlife thing", so why don't you take a little dip in the old River Styx here and sayonara babe, okay?
Good for you, you big scary booger-head you! Whoo, booga, booga, booga! Get him outta here, will ya boys?
So Jerkules actually carries the sun out of here, and Zeus wins again. This kid is driving me meshugah.
Yeah, lousy demigod strength, ah. If he had a brain, then he'd be dangerous.
What is that, like a bronchial thing? As long as you hold that staff, you are flesh and blood - emboldened, empowered with incredible magic..yadda yadda...
Hello? Priorities babe? All right? First you take care of Jerkules, then you are free to 'skitter off and have your stinky little revenge', ha ha... [He imitates Jafar and his hair flames up, but remains blue.] You got it?
Hoho, wait a minute, hold on... [He shakes his head] Mortals? This Aladdin yutz you've been going on and on about is a mere MORTAL?
Oh! A clever mortal! Mommy, hold my hand, I'm scared! Hey, Jafar babe, face it - your boy is strictly amateur-hour!
Okay, number one, this is my home. [He starts to back Jafar up, walking toward him angrily.] I'm the one who does the VOICE RAISING here, okay! [His head and hair turn a mean red, then back to blue.] And number two, just 'cause it'll be worth a chuckle or two, I'll take on your boy Aladdin, all right. And what's more, I will beat him.
Oh yeah, you just keep thinking that, okay. [He puts an arm around Jafar's neck and walks with him.] In the meantime, Jafy, may I call you Jafy, babe? Let me show you how you're missing the villain boat here, okay? First of all - you da man, you know what I'm saying? [He hits Jafar's chest with his fists.] The big-bad dude. So you gotta use a minion or two.
Nice, huh? Now, uh, I give 'em some kind of boiler-plate instructions, right? You know, bow before me...[They do so.] Spread my evil...eliminate Aladdin with extreme prejudice...blah-ya-blah, got it boys?
You win. The kid is trickier than I thought. [He walks away, into the 'chess room' and begins playing with the pieces again. Jafar quickly follows.] All right, let's see... where to put the Hydra...hmm...
Uh, yeah, sure, okay. How 'bout I RULE THE COSMOS first, and then I'll take it, okay? Priorities, Jafar, okay? Eyes on the prize babe.
What's with the laughing? What, what is that? Who does that help? Huh?
You are such a freak.
Look, why don't you just hold that 'till we win, then you can dance around the endzone and just whoop it up!
What is this, a budget-cut? Hey, if you need some petty cash, just ask, okay?
Then a gorgon hits them from the side, bring in the river guardian and bada-bing! Olympus is mine, oh yes!
Small potatoes, what - Agrabah - what you want to be a sultan when you could be a god? Jafar... Lord of the Dead, huh, what do you think, huh, you like that?
Okay, now...don't panic. Heroes burst in all the time down here... [He turns toward Jafar.] So, hey, why don't you take care of it, a little, you know, 'On the Job Training', what do you say, okay?
Oh, that's just fine, you know. I mean, I knew that Jafar guy was a jerk. I mean, what could be more aggravating than this?!
Drop it right now and I won't make you PERMANENT RESIDENTS!

8. Ah, here’s the little sun spot. Little snotchy. And, here is a sucker for the little sucker. Huh? There you go, you just – *baby Herc grabs Hades finger and squeezes very hard, Hades pulls it back* Powerful…little tyke.

He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--noYou're the one givin' up the love
Anytime he needs it
But you turn your back and then he's off
and runnin' with the crowd
You're the one to sacrifice
Anything to please him
Do you really think he thinks about you
when he's outHe's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh ohhh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--noIt was only late last night
He was out there sneakin'
Then he called you up to check that you
were waiting by the phone
All the world's a candy store
He's been trick or treatin'
When it comes to true love girl with him
there's no one homeHe's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh ohh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules

He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as iceHe's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes

(He's he's one one cold cold snake snake)
When-a when-a he is he is always always squirmin' squirmin'
Like a little snake under-a e-ver-y-a rock
(No no give give, all all take take)
You've been you've been workin' workin' on the on the love
And he's been only only playing undercover all the while
(One one smooth smooth sharp sharp tongue tongue)
Take a take another 'nother look into his eyes
(He he just just talks)
And you will on-ly see a rep-tile~ Yashiro
