Who is Herakles?

Rooted in myth and brought to DC's Bronze Age pages in 1979 by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, Herakles is the legendary strongman of antiquity reimagined within DC's rich mythological tapestry. Appearing most prominently in the pages of Wonder Woman, he keeps extraordinary company — sharing adventures with Princess Diana, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Vanessa Kapatelis — placing him squarely at the heart of DC's Olympian corner of the universe. His presence across four decades, from 1979 all the way to 2020, speaks to the enduring pull of the heroic legends that underpin so much of the DC mythos. For collectors drawn to the intersection of classical mythology and superhero storytelling, Herakles is a figure well worth seeking out.
