Funko Pop Hades glows in the dark

Hades glows in the dark (Hercules)

A brilliant god

For this version exclusive to Hot Topic stores, Funko represented Hades in a glows in the dark version. Like the regular version, he still has blue skin and a long robe with black clouds at the end that make him look like he’s floating rather than walking. His face is just as disturbing as in the cartoon with that sharp-toothed smile as well as his strange yellow eyes and finally his hair catching fire when he gets angry.

A hellish life

Hades is the one and only god of the underworld in Greek mythology and one of the main characters in the Disney cartoon Hercules. In this story, Zeus and his wife celebrate the birth of their child Hercules, with the other gods on Olympus while Hades is, as always, stuck in the underworld. A prophet predicts him that he will have one day the possibility to come out of it but only if Hercules is dead at that time. He then sends his henchmen to kill the young Hercules but they do not manage to make him completely human to be able to do it and the young boy is thus forced to remain on Earth but keeping a superhuman force because there remains a part of divine in him. During all the years that will follow, Hades will try many times to kill the young man again.
