Over the following weeks, Hades employs various monsters and villains to terrorize all of Greece and kill Hercules, but Hercules proves to be too powerful for any of them. Enraged to find out that Hercules is still alive, Hades makes plans to eliminate the fledgling hero before he can interfere with his plans. She is rescued by a grown-up Hercules, who has been training to be a hero under the satyr Philoctetes, and later tells Hades about what happened. Forced to do Hades' dirty work, Meg attempts to convince the centaur Nessus to join the evil deity's army, but Nessus tries to take Meg for himself. He is assisted by a young woman named Megara who had sold her soul to him to save the life of her lover, only for her boyfriend to leave her for another woman. The pair return to the Underworld but keep their failure a secret, letting Hades believe that his plan will go forward without any interference.Įighteen years later, Hades' plans of conquest are nearing fruition. When the two imps morph into snakes to try and kill the baby, Hercules ends up strangling them and throwing them far away. While Pain and Panic take Hercules to Earth and feed him Hades' potion, the baby doesn't drink every last drop of the concoction and retains his godlike strength. He sends his imps Pain and Panic to kidnap the infant Hercules and feed him the potion, taking away the child's godhood. To get Hercules out of the way, Hades concocts a potion that saps a god of their immortality, making them human. However, with the birth of Zeus and Hera's new son Hercules, a new obstacle to Hades' plan has arisen as the Fates have seen Hercules thwarting the Lord of the Dead in the future. In eighteen years time, the planets are due to align, revealing the prison of Tartarus where the almighty Titans have been sealed away and allowing Hades to release them.

In Disney's Hercules, Hades plots with the Fates to try and seize the throne of Olympus, allowing him to rule over the cosmos.
