Hercule (full name Hercule Satan, also known by his shortened stage name, Mister Satan) is the multi-time champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament and one of the strongest humans on Earth. (That is, strongest outside the Z Warriors; compared to them, he's incredibly weak, unable even to use his ki.)
An arrogant braggart, Mr. Satan challenged Cell to battle during the Cell Games, and was swatted away like a fly. As the battles against Cell escalated, Hercule was vocally critical of the reality of the Z Warriors' power, but showed his kinder core nature when he helped the head of Android 16 communicate with Gohan (by throwing it into range). Mr. Satan claimed credit for the defeat of Cell, and became known as the world's foremost hero as a result.
However, as the years passed, Hercule became increasingly nervous over the prospect of possibly fighting the Z Warriors, as shown by his hair falling out. He retained his title as world champion only through pay-offs (such as those to Android 18) or kindness (such as given by Mister Buu). His daughter, Videl, eventually surpassed him in fighting skill. Despite his self-centered nature, Mr. Satan became friends with Mr. Buu, helping catalyze the split that formed Evil Buu. He also helped save the universe when he psychically asked the people of Earth to donate their energy (to Goku, but they thought he was asking for it himself) for the Spirit Bomb that finally destroyed Buu.
Although one of the weakest of Earth's champions, Hercule Satan continued to be the world's favorite hero for many more years.
Comments
He was only called Mr. Satan in Japan; the French and American dubs called him Hercule. The uncut American dub combined the names to get Hercule Satan, alias Mr. Satan.
