Whoops. Sorry guys. DC Hercules DID have some feats as Champion (he disguised himself as a new superhero to seduce WW....and failed miserably).
He helped Diana fight a clone (and arguably more powerful) version of Doomsday. He didn't win but he sure as hell held his own against the bastard.
However Marvel Hercules could do the same, so....

His power was halved but he is still class 100 and how some writers are writing him, you wouldn't tell the difference.
We actually don't know which, version of Marvel Herc this is though.

Well Hercules (Marvel) feats such as moving Manhatten and holding the Earth up were retconned to him simply boosting. Marvel associate that works with the handbooks told me on a message board.
That confusion seems to come alot. In the story where he was exageratting the Thor figth while talking to some kids in the park, he did boosted the Manhattan feat to *more* ridiculous levels, however the boost didnt negate that the feat ever happened, only that it wasent in the way he was describing.
If that was the retcon, it doesnt fly. They never stated that he didnt do either feat. I actually have yet to see a story saying so. More weird even, when the handbooks of late have been going more into detail his mythological life than the Marvel one.
As for DC Hercules, i have seen little. Where was he tagged as holding the Earth for Atlas, Draco?
