 Hercules is allowed to remain free, to complete his "labors" and make up for the things that he has done.The series mentions several important facts about Hercules, including his cycle of crime, punishment, and redemption; gods and other beings (Hera and Circe being mentioned by name) using him to commit great evil (such as the death of his family); and his uneasy relationship with the Amazons and Wonder Woman in particular.The Hercules that empowers the Marvels is apparently different from this Hercules, sharing only his name.
