Puma was the man back in the day! He would always give Spidey a run for his money.
As far as Heracules being a second rate thor.....NO! Traditionally the tale of Heracules and the olympian gods are far more popular than Thor and the Norse Gods. In comics sure, Thor had the backing of the writers cause hey, he was a fun character. They had no clue what to do with Heracules. Also i'm not sure Herc jobbed out to thor as many times as you think. I'm sure Herc beat him at least once. Besides Thor is already established. Were talking about underrated right, Heracules is defiantly underrated.
Thor is awesome yes. But Herc is not far behind!

I've looked through my huge collection, and I can't find any fights where Hercules BEAT Thor in combat. All were good fights, but Thor seems to always be the victor on some level. But I agree with you that Hercules is underrated. In the JLA/Avengers crossover, he gets his behind handed to him for several panels by... Wonder Woman!
how did she hulk beat the champion of the universe?
Spoilers ahead....
Champion had found a world governed by the one rule "Might makes right". He fought their current champion, soundly defeated him and took his place as ruler. However, he idled in his responsibilities, letting the world fall into disorder and poverty. Adam Warlock, Gamora, Pip the Troll and others were looking for someone who could beat Champion, during this time, Gladiator and Beta Ray Bill both had their asses handed to them.
The Magistrati came to earth and took She-Hulk with them for her to practice intergalactic law at the behest of the Living Tribunal. Their aim was for her to defeat Champion. She went into the ring, and got the crap kicked out of her. So she called a rematch in a month's time. During this time she worked out as plain human Jen Walters, doubling her strength and stats in human form, thus when she transformed into She-Hulk her strength in that form doubled as well, as she has the potential to be exponentially stronger. She also trained in boxing (since the matches with Champion were in a boxing ring) and looked up all the intergalactic laws. No weapons are allowed in the ring, and previously they had declared Adam Warlock's soul gem a weapon. She went into the ring, declared Champion a cheater and made him take off his infinity gem. Without the infinity gem vastly enhancing his strength and stats, She-Hulk having doubled her already formidable strength and mastered boxing took him out quite easily.

I think he did?.......... 🤨 I'm sure he lost that one too!
I hear he's also due in a Power Pack issue....he's portraying an evil Santa Claus.
Zan and Jana looked down upon the battered shell of the "god" known as Hercules... "He should've known better than to mess with the Wonder Twins, eh li'l bro'?" "Yeah, sis. Form of... an ass whuppin'!"
