which would explain why Cap's beaten Thor, or why Bone-Claw took out Herc. 😬
I'm not positive, suppose I'll have to go back and look through the arc. But, I'm remembering that the only thing about their personalities that changed was the inhibition to fight one another. Usually we discard evidence like brainwashing because a character's ability to think, or move are inhibited to a degree that limits their fighting capabilities, and it's something that's usually referenced. As far as I'm aware there were only a couple of cases where the fighter was influenced to such a degree, Wolverine was one of them, everyone else was still like they would otherwise be with the exception of their indifference to fighting one another. Perhaps I'm mistaken?

Hercules is not inferior to the Hulk. He has held his own against a rampaging Hulk before. There hasn't been a clear cut victory for either of them before as far as I know. The only thing Hulk has on Herc is his HF imo. When the time comes for Hercules to get a hold of Sabretooth, it's all over. Sabretooth has speed and agility on his side but Hercules has prowess and wouldn't just blindly swing away. He also has godly endurance and is RIDICULOUSLY strong with many feats to back it up. It might not be spite, but Herc should win after a couple of blows to the head and a snap of the neck.
