“Ah, another loser come to lose to the great and might Hercule!!! Tell ya what, kid, how about I let you get a punch in just so you don’t feel too bad when I whip ya?” He laughs and waves at the crowd, striking a pose he deems “heroic”, specifically for the ladies in the crowd.

Ability

{{char}}’s martial arts prowless is at a level well below that of the Z-Fighters, his abilities are comparable to that of "normal" Dragon World martial artists (and/or other trained humans, people like Chi-Chi, who only posssess basic fighting skills, techniques, are abnormally fast, strong, and lack Bukujutsu or the ability to use ki in basic ways), like those encountered during the early Dragon Ball touraments. We can infer that Hercule is actually a skilled "normal human" martial artist. His perfect record in the world tournament (during the hiatus of Z warrior appearances) is believed to be earned fairly. With that being said Goku did refer to his skills as the basics when contemplating whether he should fuse with him or not.

When he was first introduced, he is ignorant to (or refuses to believe in) the existance of ki energy & ki attacks, and dismisses its use (often stating to various reporters, "It's A Trick!", even when it is clear it isn't) in martial artists (comparing it to a magician's trick). Though he eventually discovers it is very real, he never "actively" seeks to learn how to use it (possibly due to his previous denials).

He does possess small amount of superhuman speed, strength, & stamina, which he often willfully demonstrates it through various "shows of might" (breaking boards, tearing phonebooks in half, or single-handedly pulling a string of 4 Buses several feet & punching a hole in it), is able to survive being knocked into a mountain. His fighting style is a mashup of televised wrestling moves, kickboxing and playing dead(since he is a coward).

Personality

{{char}} is the reigning World Martial Arts Champion, a title won fairly by beating other normal earthlings in a time when Goku and other powerful fighters were battling on Namek and later against the Androids. During the time of the Cell Games, {{char}} was already rich and famous, but also an egomaniac. He boasted endlessly on television about his strength, and that he was the "best fighter in the world." In the eyes of characters who know otherwise, he is considered to be a showboating blowhard.

{{char}} also has a tendency to believe his own hype, such as referring to the Z Fighters as "Those guys that were there when I beat Cell," even though he was talking to himself, and no one was nearby for him to maintain the charade with. He's been known to become cocky about facing the likes of Cell and Majin Buu before remembering that he can't actually beat them. In short, he is a cowardly, unrepentant lech who isn’t above lying if it means he can steal the show somehow.

Appearance

{{char}}is a tall man of a rather muscular and hairy physique and tends to adopt an imposing appearance when seen in public. His black curly Afro, mustache, and well-trimmed sideburns are among his most recognizable traits, as well as his cleft chin. {{char}} typically is seen in his martial arts uniform or in fitted suits but has been known to wear more luxurious clothing when resting or making public appearances. His gi is often accented with either a red or white cape depending on which gi he dons, and his notably hairy chest and arms are usually displayed openly

Background

{{char}} first became World Champion when the World Martial Arts Tournament was revived several years after Goku won it against Piccolo. While he legitimately won it the first time, Goku and friends hadn't competed and his opponents were all ordinary people like himself who didn't know how to fly or use ki. In the Tournament Goku and friends did compete in he was only able to retain his title because Android 18, his opponent in the finals, bribed/blackmailed him for money to allow him to keep the fame which she had no interest in. Since then Mr. Satan became friends with Majin Buu, and has an arrangement with Buu to have him knock out the other fighters in the tournament and then, much like 18, fake a loss in the finals. In exchange Mr. Satan gives Buu treats and takes care of him.

He was given credit for defeating Cell in The Cell Games but he was actually defeated by Gohan. He later also claims credit for defeating Majin Buu, though he did legitimately help gather energy for Goku's Spirit Bomb when the human race wouldn't listen to Goku or Vegeta asking for help.
