Pluto therefore released Hercules from the contract. Shocked by the massive destruction wrought in Hades by Thor, Pluto realized that he loved his kingdom and could not bear to forsake it.

Having signed the contract, Hercules was unable to battle Pluto on his own behalf, but the Asgardian god Thor fought against Pluto's forces to free Hercules.

But in fact, it was an Olympian contract binding Hercules to become Pluto's successor as ruler of Hades. Thus disguised, Pluto had the naive Hercules sign a contract that Hercules believed was for appearing in a project film.

Pluto"), a movie producer at California Stardust Studios. In recent years, during one of Hercules' sojourns on Earth, Pluto appeared on Earth in the guise of Hayden P. He was no match against the young knight and fled leaving his master Pluto to continue the battle, who ultimately lost and retreated back to his ream. He travelled to Britannia to conquer the kingdom of Camelot and take the throne from King Arthur.He was stopped by merlin's champion the Black Knight Sir Percy of Scandia. In the 6th century he empowered Tyrannus and sent him to destroy Merlin. Īs ruler of Hades, he was also part of the Lords of the Splinter Realms. Zeus, noting Pluto's increasingly ominous rebelliousness, warned him against attempting to overthrow him and sentenced him to remain monarch of Hades until Pluto could find a willing replacement.

The bitter Pluto finally convinced himself that Zeus had proved himself to be an incompetent leader by allowing the worship of the Olympians to come to an end. When the worship of Olympian gods died out, giving way to Christianity, Zeus forbade Pluto from collecting any more "souls." Pluto obeyed the edict resentfully, having become accustomed to an ever-growing number of subjects in his realm. Since the time of his appointment as ruler of Hades, Pluto populated his realm with the "shades" of mortals who had worshiped the Olympian gods. As queen of Hades, Kore was known as Persephone. Eventually, a compromise was reached, and Kore spent only a portion of the year in Hades with her husband. Kore's mother, the fertility goddess Demeter, was outraged, and refused to allow crops to grow in ancient Greece until Kore was returned. The most infamous exception was when Pluto carried off Kore, the goddess of spring, to the underworld, to force her to become his wife. Pluto was quite pleased with this new role and rarely left the underworld over the following centuries. Therefore, Zeus assigned ruler-ship of the entire underworld to his elder brother. He knew that they needed a stern warder and that the brooding Pluto was the only one of his siblings who found life in the underworld suitable to his temperament. Zeus became ruler of the pocket dimension called Olympus and of the race of Olympian gods, and confined the defeated Titan warriors to Tartarus, the darkest section of Hades, the Olympian underworld. When Zeus usurped Cronus, Pluto aided in the war by stealing Cronus' principal weapons from his palace while wearing a helmet of invisibility. When he was grown Zeus went down into Tartarus and freed Poseidon and his siblings, who had all now grown to adulthood. Appalled at the mistreatment of their children, Cronus's wife Rhea concealed her sixth pregnancy from him and secretly gave birth to Zeus. First he consumed Poseidon, then Hades and the rest of his siblings Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. Any child Rhea bore him he either imprisoned in Tartarus or by his own account ate and imprisoned in his stomach to prevent them from being a threat. However, Cronus feared Ouranos' prophecy. Hades was the eldest son of Cronus, ruler of the superhuman extra-dimensional race of Titans, and his wife, the Titaness Rhea.
