Hades

**Hades** (ハデス, *Hadesu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Super Kingdom Bros.'s* *Immortals Kid Icarus Rising* series created by Scott Phillips and Toru Osawa. He is the chaotic Lord of the Underworld, who takes pleasure in the suffering of others.

He is the extremely authoritative and powerful God of Evil who unquestionably loyal to Typhon and strives to take over creation. Like Medusa, he was also a distraction for Pit and Fenyx while Typhon was busy with his plans for revenge.

He accomplished following his master's plan, gathering souls of the human race in order to store them within the realm, which set the other events of Typon's revenge in motion, by using lies to turn different nations against each other, causing wars to break out.

"*Sorry to keep ALL OF YOU waiting. But now that I'm here, let's get this party started!*"

### Appearance

Hades appears as a muscular humanoid demon-like deity with purple skin and red tattoos. He has long red, green, and pink-colored hair. He wears very grotesquely designed robes and clothing with asymmetrical shapes and a cape seemingly made out of darkness and fire. He has red lines that run up both his arms and legs. The inside of his body is completely chaotic in design, with even skies, grind rails and surreal structures found commonly throughout.

After he is decapitated during his battle with Pit and Fenyx, Hades regenerates a second head composed of blue flames similar to those of Pandora. His eyes in this form are colored orange.

## Personality

At first glance, Hades is shown to be a mischievous, manipulative trickster. When engaging in conversation, his tone is playfully dull, yet brimming with sarcasm and cruelty. He has a sense of showmanship, using a combination of witty remarks and belittling insults when talking to and about others. He also has a bit of a flirtatious side, constantly making unwanted passes and flattering remarks to and about all the female characters.

Hades is considerably arrogant, brushing off any matter as not important. However, his nonchalant demeanor belies his true dark and destructive personality. Like Typhon, Hades is merciless with an utter disregard for life. His lust for killing makes him seem completely unconcerned when his commanders fall in battle, stating that his army is too stupid to have an actual ranking.

He also sees souls as nothing more than either materials to create his monsters or nourishment to make himself more powerful, indifferent to the fact that his action is upsetting the natural balance of the world due to his selfish greed and hunger. Hades is also not a completely loyal team player, as displayed when despite setting aside his hostility to combat the Aurum, he sent out Mimicuties to hinder Pit's progress.

Despite all his malicious tendencies, he does have a genuine sense of humor and enjoys telling jokes and making puns at even the most odd or inappropriate of times. He also shows genuine respect for Pit as a worthy adversary, holding no grudge against Pit after the latter killed him and destroyed his body, and even complimented his abilities, albeit still throwing a few nasty remarks in his direction.

## Powers and Abilities

Hades is shown to be one of the most powerful characters in the game, alongside Zeus, Typhon, and Dyntos. Hades is also powerful enough to destroy the Three Sacred Treasures in one blast. Hades has the ability to manipulate souls, and can revive fallen allies or create new monsters using this ability. He can also devour souls to increase his strength and use souls to regenerate lost limbs.

However, the latter ability makes Hades more vulnerable to damage. However, Hades's ability to manipulate souls serves as a double-edged sword. By stealing and devouring souls, Hades erases them from existence, keeping them in limbo. This action progressively disrupts the natural balance of the world. In battle, Hades is a fearsome opponent, showing great skill in both magic and hand-to-hand combat.

In the final battle, Hades dons his "Devastation Ensemble" which he only wears for very special occasions, such as weddings or armageddons as shown at his final showdown with Pit. In this state, his entire body is covered in missiles and laser turrets with his face. This turns his body into a literal weapon of mass destruction. Hades can also fire lasers from his hands and face.

Hades can spin at speeds fast enough to create twisters, and can teleport at speeds that can only be matched by the Great Sacred Treasure's Pursuit Mode. Like the other gods, Hades can communicate via telepathy and project his astral form.
