So my Daughter has been obsessed with the Disney movie Hercules as of late. I'm quite fond of it myself but as I'm watching i can't help but thinking "Who can replicate Hercules' feats?"
So i bring this question to wise and fair people of KMC!
Here's the gauntlet:
1. Defeat the river guardian and save Meg.
2. Save the "children" trapped in the rockslide.
3. Kill the Hydra.
4. Kill the fodder monsters while the Muses sing about the hero's greatness(optional)
5. Give up ALL POWERS and defeat the Cyclops.
6. Get powers back and defeat/kill remaining Titans (Rock, Wind, Lava, Ice)
7. Tame and ride Cerberus. (Killing is acceptable but will lower your score)
8. Rescue Meg from "River of Death" (This one is tricky since godhood can only be given to demigods here)
Movie characters only and, if you can, try to stick with animated movies.

Gender: Female Location: When in Doubt, Go to the Library.
Robin Williams's "Genie" from Aladdin.
For the River Guardian : Huge muscles to punch him into the sky.
Saving Pain and Panic : Use strength to move rocks.
Hydra : Pull a Merlin; turn into a deadly bacterium and be ingested.
From Zero to Hero : The power of impersonations.
For the Cyclops: He would make jokes until the Cyclops would stoop down to hear him better, and then [whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!] stick Cyclops in his very large eye!
The Titans: For the Rock Titan, turn into Wind. [Wind conquers Rock by wearing it down.] For the Wind Titan, turn into earth. [Earth conquers wind by being able to be stable in it.] For Lava, turn into Water. [Water conquers Fire by extinguishing it.] For Ice, turn into Fire. [Fire conquers ice by melting it.]
Cerebus : Morph into rodeo cowboy, tie Cerebus like a calf. Cerebus = tame.
River Styx : In the Arabian Myth, Genies [more often called Djinns] are very, very powerful. Above Demi-God status. Easy-Peasy.
And Genie wins! [Then replaces Hermes as the stand-up comedian on Mount Olympus.]

There are a ton of people with powers that could duplicate Herc's feats in some form or fashion, but beating the Cyclops without powers... That one is a bit harder to come up with.
I was thinking of choosing the Iron Giant from the Iron Giant. He most definitely has the power and firepower to do everything Herc did, and was thinking if he lost his powers he would still be a giant metal monster so he could still beat the Cyclops. Unless when you state they lose all their powers it would mean the Iron Giant would be put into a normal human body.
But regardless their isn't any normal human beings that could stand up to that thing and not die.
But i dunno if he could take out the Titans. They were all his size or bigger with enough power to easily overpower every single god on Olympus. How could he take them without being frozen, melted, crushed, or simply blown away?
Hercules had strength that seemed to greatly surpass the gods' strength and i would say IG pales in comparison

Oh c'mon! Genie totally has this!
"Phenonemal Cosmic Powers! Itty bitty living space."
We've gotta have some change with the Cyclops, though. Because Hercules didn't "beat" him, bceause the whole thing about Hades promising Meg wouldn't get hurt, and then she did. So I would think it would be more like - distract the Cyclops for X amount of time, and then full power on again.

Ok yeah I figured he could use his weapons in that fight. Still I'm pretty sure I giant metal fist to the face should be enough to take down the Cyclops
Still the Lava and Tornado Titans would be a problem i think. Lava could seriously damage him and/or he could have trouble harming a being made out of air with lasers and and crap
He survived a nuclear blast without being burned so I don't think Lava will be a problem. As for Air Hercules was able to grab so it had to have some physical manifestation that can be interacted with.
