Hades (Disney)

Hades is the main antagonist of Disney's Hercules franchise, serving as the main antagonist of Disney's thirty-fifth full-length animated feature film Hercules. He is the ruler of the Underworld, Pain and Panic's leader and boss, Hercules' uncle and arch-nemesis, and Zeus and Poseidon's brother.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Hades is Disney's most funniest villains and considered one of the greatest of all time, leading with with Maleficent, Jafer, Scar and Judge Frollo.
 * 2) Hades is one of few Disney villians to not die at the end of their movie.
 * 3) Hades is hot-headed, both figuratively and literally. When relaxed or upbeat, his flaming hair and skin retain a calming blue color. When angered, his hair and face become a passionate red/orange.
 * 4) Hades is generally calm, cool, and collected. Though his machinations are cruel, Hades' informal approach to villainy makes him a widely comedic character with a self-aware and irreverent style of humor (though his jokes are usually played for his own, twisted amusement, and at the expense of others).
 * 5) James Woods gives a highly entertaining performance as Hades.

Trivia

 * 1) Hades' voice actor, James Woods has stated that Hades is his favorite voice role and he reprises the role at any opportunity, including Kingdom Hearts, and has successfully done so with only one exception where his singing voice was provided by Rob Paulsen in Mickey's House of Villains.
 * 2) Hades is the only villain to meet another Disney villain in media canon to his film of origin, having teamed up with Jafar in the Hercules TV series.
