| '''Hades''' is an antagonist from the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, originally from the 1997 Disney animated feature ''Hercules''. He is the Lord of the Dead and the ruler of the [[Underworld]]. Hot-headed literally and emotionally, he will stop at nothing to see the end of [[Hercules]]. | |

| Hades sets up a tournament, hiding that the prize is a "one-way trip to the Underworld". After [[Cloud]] defeats [[Hercules]], Hades attempts to take the hero to Underworld, but is stopped by [[Player (KHχ)|Player]]. Angered that he cannot claim a soul, Hades is surprised when Cloud offers to go with him (in the hopes that he can find [[Sephiroth]] down there). When they arrive, however, Cloud takes his leave to find his old enemy, leaving an infuriated Hades behind. Player finds him, and Hades decides to recruit Player as his new agent of darkness. He gives Player the task of reaching his chamber alive as a first test. Once Player succeeds, Hades tasks them with clearing out the Heartless in the Underworld.

| Displeased with there being no good warriors that could do his bidding at the coliseum, Hades is surprised to find [[Terra]]; finding him powerful and gullible, Hades convinces him that combat experience would help him master [[darkness]]. Seeing him not relying on it, Hades uses darkness to make [[Zack]] his puppet; however Terra frees Zack, disappointing Hades that neither was good enough.

| Keeping tabs on the Games, Hades waited until the East Division's last match was over to find the winner. However, he was disappointed a "little bluebird" named [[Aqua]] was the winner. After insulting Terra, Hades faces off against Aqua with the [[Ice Colossus]] in the West vs East title match. However, the "snowcone" evaporates due to being an inferior copy, prompting Hades to leave in a rage and let Aqua win by default.

Together with Hercules, the three friends put a stop to his plans. But Hades is as evil as ever, and won't rest until he sends Hercules to the Underworld- for eternity.'' |
| When [[Maleficent]] began her conquest of the worlds, Hades became one of her allies in her ring of [[villains]]. He utilized the [[Heartless]] by supplying them as monsters to the [[Olympus Coliseum]], for heroes to battle as usual. However, he also gained the assistance of [[Cloud]] by promising to lead him to [[Sephiroth]] if he will kill Hercules.
| |
|
| |
|
| When Sora arrives at Olympus Coliseum and is rebuffed by [[Phil]], Hades provides him with a pass to enter the games, but when [[Sora]] starts winning the tournament, Hades instructs Cloud to kill Sora as well. When Cloud fails to kill Sora, Hades has [[Cerberus]] attack Cloud, but Hercules rescues Cloud while Sora defeats Cerberus. As Sora leaves the Coliseum, an infuriated Hades vents his frustration and makes plans for his next scheme, shooing away Maleficent when she comes to check on him.
| | ==In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''== |
| | Hades was one of [[Maleficent|Maleficent's]] allies, and apparently the most powerful villain on her team aside from her. He utilized the [[Heartless]] by supplying them as monsters to the [[Olympus Coliseum]], for heroes to battle as per usual. However, he also gained the assistance of [[Cloud Strife]] by making a deal: If Cloud kills [[Hercules]], Hades will lead him to [[Sephiroth]] (who he apparently does know the location of, as Sephiroth is indeed at the coliseum). Hades additionally provided Sora with a pass to enter the coliseum games. However, when [[Sora]] appeared to be winning in the Coliseum, Hades instructed Cloud to kill Sora as well. When the plan failed (either with Cloud refusing to deal the final blow to Sora, or with Sora defeating Cloud; it depends on the result of the battle), Hades had [[Cerberus]] attack Cloud. However, Hercules rescued Cloud and Sora defeated Cerberus. |
|
| |
|
| {{canon|If Sora defeats Maleficent in [[Hollow Bastion]] before defeating Cerberus, the scene ends with Hades' anger and Maleficent will not show up.}}
| | As Sora left the Coliseum, Maleficent warned Hades not to be overcome by the darkness. Although Hades sent Maleficent away, claiming he could handle it, he ironically was not overcome at all (while the rest of Maleficent's followers and Maleficent herself ended up being overcome, with the other exception of [[Captain Hook]]). Strangely, Maleficent overlooked the fact that Hades was the immortal god of the dark underworld. This lead to the inevitable irony of Hades outliving Maleficent as well as being currently the only villain in the whole series to show in all the games and survive and will probably continue to survive due to him being a god. |
|
| |
|
| | When Hades learned of Maleficent's demise, he put matters into his own hands. Hades, determined on personally defeating both Hercules and Sora, opened the [[Hades Cup]] in the Coliseum. The long, grueling tournament had a battle with him near the end. Unfortunately for Hades, Sora defeated him in the battle. After a few more battles in the cup, though, Hades decided on a way for revenge. |
|
| |
|
| Later, Hades and Riku converse about [[Jafar]]'s chances against Sora; Hades states his belief that the vizier might have triumphed if Riku had been there to support him. Maleficent warns Hades not to be overcome by the darkness, but Hades waves Maleficent away, claiming he can handle it and tells Riku that he's got a special surprise for him.
| | In events very much like those in ''Hercules'', Hades unleashed the four Titans upon the world (although only two are seen, it can be guessed that the other two and possibly the Cyclops were as well). When Sora reached the final rank in the tournament, he had to combat the [[Rock Titan]]. Upon its defeat, Hades apparently went into hiding. |
|
| |
|
| After being defeated in the [[Hades Cup]], Hades is confronted by an angry unseen force. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy win the Hades Cup, Donald puts out Hades's hair with a Blizzard spell.

| | In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Hades makes an appearance as a figment of Sora's memories. He, like the original game, hired [[Cloud]] to defeat Hercules. Eventually his plan fell apart and is forced to fight Sora personally. Defeating him grants you his character card. |
| When Sora and his friends are in [[Castle Oblivion]], Hades appears as a figment of Sora's memories. He hires Cloud to defeat Hercules, and Hades promises to restore Cloud's lost memories in exchange. When Cloud is unable to defeat Hercules, Hades decides to fight Hercules personally. Sora intervenes and defeats him.

| [[File:This Is My Underworld 01 KHII.png|thumb|200px|Hades becomes furious at Pete's meddling.]] | |
| One year later, Hades resurrects [[Auron]] in the Underworld and offers him his life back if he kills Hercules. When Auron refuses this offer, Hades becomes enraged, and almost strikes Auron down until Sora and company arrive, needing to speak to him. However, Sora and the others quickly retreat, as Hades is invincible within his domain and they are weakened by the Underworld's curse.
| |
| | |
| [[Pete]] suggests waiting for the Heartless to take care of Sora and company, but Hades dispatches Cerberus to take care of them instead. However, Sora and Auron defeats Cerberus and escapes when Sora unlocks a door with the Keyblade. Learning that the Keyblade can open any lock, Hades decides to steal it and reopen the [[Underdrome]], a coliseum locked up by [[Zeus]] long ago. After Pete informs him that only Sora can wield Keyblade, Hades kidnaps [[Megara]] and traps her in the Underdrome, knowing that Sora must use the Keyblade to rescue her and unseal the Underdrome in the process. Additionally, Hades sent a [[Hydra]] after Hercules to prevent him from interfering and had Pete on standby to ambush Sora once he enters the Underdome. However, Sora is able to save Meg with Hercules's help. At the exit of the Underworld, Hades confronts them and reminds Hercules about the Hydra which he had neglected to finish off completely. They enter the Coliseum to see it in ruins with the Hydra towering over it. The Hydra is defeated, but Hercules lost his strength and will, because of the guilt that he had since he had not completely destroyed the Hydra.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Wake Up, Auron! 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|200px|Hades threatens to drop Meg into the River Styx.]] | |
| To celebrate the Underdrome re-opening, Hades decides to hold the Hades Cup, in the hopes of killing the weakened Hercules once again. Trapping Auron's soul in a [[Auron's Statue|statue]], he orders him to take care of Hercules and Sora. Inevitably, the scheme fails, as Sora finds Auron's statue and gave him back his soul. A furious Hades dumps Meg into the River Styx with Hercules diving after her. Confident they will be dead within moments, Hades overpowers Sora and his allies until Hercules emerges, his full power restored by willing to risk his life to save Meg. Hades is defeated and, while attempting to avoid a hit from Sora, loses his footing and falls down into the River Styx. Despite this, Hades manages to escape, though he doesn't appear to cause Hercules and company much trouble after that.
| |
| | |
| Later on, Hades opens his Paradox tournaments. After Sora wins the Hades Paradox Cup, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Hercules, and Auron celebrate with the trophy while Hades looks at them furiously, only to be kicked by [[Pegasus]], which sends him flying across the Underdome.

| Within in the [[Datascape]], a data version of Hades makes a deal with the Data-Cloud: if Data-Cloud destroys Data-Sora and Data-Hercules, Data-Hades will give him the power to go to other worlds by telling him "The Secret of Heroes", and make him become stronger. However, he later double crosses Data-Cloud and reveals that he isn't the source of Olympus Coliseum's [[Bug Blox]]. After the defeat of the Data-Cerberus, the real source of the world's Bug Blox, Data-Hades battles the trio of data heroes.
| | Hades is once again an antagonist in Kingdom Hearts II (unlike the rest of the villains, he has an excuse to be able to come back since he's immortal, and wasn't destroyed in the first game anyway). Most of Hades's dealings take place in the [[Underworld]] in this game. This time, in an effort to destroy Hercules, he tries to strike a deal with the dead [[Auron]] (whom he calls "The Mother of All Bad Guys"), offering him his life back with a clean slate, on the condition that he "Fight Hercules. In the Coliseum. To the death!" Auron refuses, and when Hades reminds him that he is talking to the Lord of the Dead, he responds "No wonder no one wants to die." Hades becomes enraged, and almost strikes Auron down until Sora arrives, needing to speak to him. But it ended up with Sora and gang running for it as Hades is invincible within his domain. |

| |
| Frustrated with the lack of progress with his plans to take over [[Olympus]] by using Terra, Cloud, and Auron, Hades decides to free the [[Rock Titan]], [[Ice Titan]], [[Tornado Titan]], and [[Lava Titan]] from their prisons. Hades attacks Thebes to keep Hercules busy, allowing him to ascend Mount Olympus with the Titans unimpeded. However, to his surprise, Hades hears someone yelling for Hercules and finds that Sora, Donald, and Goofy have arrived. After they taunt him about his failures, Hades calls upon the Titans to show them their power, creating a powerful gust that blows them to Thebes. To his annoyance, Maleficent and Pete arrive next, and he flatly dismisses them. However, Maleficent tells him that she is only there to find out if there is a distinctive [[Black Box|black box]] in his world. Hades thinks they mean Pandora's Box and tells them that it is buried in the gardens in Thebes.

|
| At Mount Olympus, Hades watch the Lava and Ice Titans imprison Zeus in cooled molten rock. However, Hercules, Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive, having bested the Rock Titan on the way up. Hades orders the Titans to attack his foes, who barely manage to damage them. However, Hercules manages to free Zeus, whose thunderbolts harm the Titans enough to make them flee. Hercules uses the Tornado Titan to suck up the other three and tosses them out into space, where they explode. Hades attempts to retaliate but is mocked by Sora, Donald, and Goofy before Hercules punches Hades for ruining Thebes. Retreating, Hades threatens to dump Meg in the Styx as payback, but Zeus tosses a thunderbolt at Hades to shut him up.
| | Pete suggests waiting for the Heartless to take care of Sora and company, but Hades knows better and dispatches Cerberus to take care of them instead. After Sora escapes the beast by using his Keyblade to open up a massive locked door, Hades decides to use him to open up the Underdrome, a massive arena long since sealed by Zeus. To this end, he kidnaps Meg, and traps her in the Underdrome, meaning Sora must use the Keyblade to rescue her, unsealing the Underdome in the process. |

| [[File:The Definition of a Hero 01 KHREC.png|thumb|left|200px|A reddish-orange Hades as he appears when he gets mad.]]
| |
| In his normal state, Hades has blue skin and blue flaming "hair". His eyes are completely yellow except for his black pupils. He has very sharp teeth and an unnatural black mouth. His face is quite long and thin, with his chin jutting out curtly. His fingers are long, thin, and clawed. He wears what appears to be a dark grey shirt underneath a black toga, the latter of which seems to be held up by a small skull pin on his right shoulder. Hades's feet are never visible, due to the length of his robes.
| |
|
| |
|
| When Hades gets mad, he quite literally erupts with rage; his skin turns a reddish-orange and his hair flares up in a bevy of glowing flames.
| | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]''=== |
| | Hades could more than likely appear in this game, as the Keyblade weilders travel to the Coliseum, and serve as a boss battle. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the end of his robe is covered by a dark cloud, like in the original film. | | ===In Battle=== |
| {{-}}
| | Hades is one of the more powerful villains on Maleficents side, although he usually prefers to send others to do the dirty work for him. Hades wields the power of [[Fire]] so all of his attacks use this element. One of his main attacks is to form balls of Fire and hurl them at his opponent. He punches his foes, covering his fists in flames. In both games when Hades gets angry his skin becomes orange and he enters a berserker like state, making him stronger and even making him invulnerable in Kingdom Hearts II. |

| {{Q|What is so funny, you imbeciles? How dare you get a happy ending!! How dare you!!|Hades, after Hercules rescued Meg}}
| | ===''Kingdom Hearts''=== |
| Hades is one of the most hot-tempered characters in the series. Although others are shown to be temperamental, Hades bursts out in fury on a more regular basis. When Hades gets mad, he explodes into a red pillar of fire and his normal blue colored "hair" burns red (which is ironic since blue fire is warmer than red fire).
| | *"''That little punk is your next opponent, kay?. Don't blow it, just take 'em out.''" |
| | *"''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?''" |
| | *"''Stiffer than the stiffs back home. Still, suckers like him are hard to come by.''" |
| | *"''That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it? |
| | *"''He's strong, he's kind, he's always there for you, and he's handsome to boot. He's perfect...perfect...perfectly INFURIATING! He makes me crazy!''" |
| | *"''Who invited you to the party? Stay out of this. This is my show.''" |
| | *"''Oh, and there's one more rule I forgot, accidents happen.''" |
| | *"''Whoa... light'in up, I'm as cool as they come OK.''" |
|
| |
|
| Hades is also shown to be very devious and smooth when he remains calm and tends to talk a lot; for instance, when he tricked Sora into opening the Underdrome to rescue Meg. He also shows this trait when he talks to Hercules, most of the time giving indirect answers and eerie hints that typically lead Hercules to danger. Also, unlike other Disney antagonists, Hades never seems to fib directly, instead never telling the whole truth of the matter. He possesses a biting, dry wit, and has a habit of making both subtle and overt verbal jabs at those around him. Hades also has credulous tendencies, like blocking his ears with his fingers and pretending he doesn't hear Sora when he tries to talk to him. He confessed that he has the ambition to rule the world in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''.
| | ===''Kingdom Hearts II''=== |
| | *"''What is so funny, you imbeciles! How dare you get a happy ending! How DARE you!''" |
| | *"''You are FIRED!"'' |
| | *"''Did you forget who you're talking to? I am the Lord of the Dead!''" |
| | *"''Were do they dig these freaks up? Geez, Louise.''" |
| | *"''Dead... Dead is good! And I know just the warrior.''" |
| | *"''Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal am going to offer you.''" |
| | *"''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!''" |

| | *"''Well, maybe... But why get caught up in the details.''" |
| | *"''Laugh, laugh, laugh all you want!''" |
| | *"''This time, you're gonna play by MY rules.''" |
|
| |
|
| Due to his numerous defeats by Sora and Hercules, Hades seems to have become increasingly unstable (almost to the point of being bipolar). In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', he shows considerable calmness (be it aggravation or self-assurance) and extreme outrage upon seeing that his plans were falling apart one more time. After his last defeat, he appears to have lost all hope of ever conquering the cosmos, but he remains incredibly petty; he threatened to toss Meg into the Styx again, only to get hit by Zeus's bolt.

| |
| {{Q|Name's Hades, Lord of the Dead. Hi, how ya doin'?|Hades}}
| |
| Hades originates from the Disney 1997 film ''Hercules'', based on {{w|Hades|the god of the dead}} from Greek myth. While the Greek version of this deity has a humanoid depiction and is, for the most part, a relatively passive but unmerciful deity, the Disney version is depicted as an evil god with a hatred for his brother Zeus, jealous of being assigned to the Underworld while his younger brother became ruler of Olympus. Both versions of Hades also have a series of demonic beasts at their disposal, and reign supreme over the souls of the dead. Believers in the Grecian Hades would show their devotion to their god by going as far as to bang on the ground to ensure he was listening to their prayers. Major differences between these two depictions of Hades are that the Disney Hades is trying to overthrow Zeus, has an affiliation with fire, and is served by the demons [[Pain and Panic]], qualities that were actually associated with {{w|Alcyoneus}}, {{w|Hephaestus}}, and {{w|Ares}}, respectively, in the original mythology.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the Disney film, Hades crashes an infant Hercules's party, only to return to the Underworld and learn from the Fates that the boy would be the only thing that stood in the way of the Lord of the Dead's stealing his brother Zeus's job as Ruler of the Gods. He later has sidekicks Pain and Panic kidnap the baby and turn him mortal so that he could be killed, the dark god plotting while Hercules aged. Hades eventually found a girl named Megara in his ownership, using her to lure Hercules into his traps once he learned the hero had lived. Hades succeeded in freeing the Titans and taking over Olympus as prophesied eighteen years ago, yet he was defeated at Hercules's hand. The god was then sent tumbling into the River Styx.
