"I am the god of Strength! Mess with me or my bear and I'll show you just how powerful I am!"

Here was have a fantastic piece by Furnygma and given to me by my friend Zephyrhero.

Sampson is the illegitimate child of my hero Benjamin and Alexine. Sampson not knowing his father with his younger half brother Isaac. This knowledge slipped away when their mother passed away due to illness. An accomplished athlete, he and his brother made a home for themselves when they reached adulthood. Everything seemed to be going well until Typhon appeared to them. Typhon revealed who Sampson's father was and that he was slowly being consumed by the soul of Zeus that he possessed. Typhon revealed Sampson's hidden deity powers and tasked him with saving the world from Benjamin's wrath. This, however, was simply a ruse to have Sampson and Ben weaken each other till he could remove them both.

Sampson finally confronted Benjamin and the two did end up fighting. For nearly a day and night the two combated each other with Sampson's strength growing with his rage. Thankfully, he was stopped with the combined efforts of Benjamin and his wife Heather. Once the ruse was discovered and Typhon was thwarted, Sampson began to let go of the past and build a relationship with the Maxwell family. He and Timothy are particularly close.

Powers:

As Hercules, Sampson possesses a multitude of powers, including...

-Enhanced Strength: While most gods possess some degree of super strength, Sampson's power is greater than most. To date, he has been able to lift 50+ tons using his whole body. But, as he continues to connect and synchronize with his deific soul, it his possible his strength could reach uncalculable levels.

- Disguise Aura: a power common among all the gods. A unique glamour that makes the person unrecognizable while a god unless they openly and willingly divulge that information to someone else.

- Defense Aura: Another common power. Most gods possess some degree of increased durability with most being able to be unharmed by common weapons like knives and bullets. But for Sampson, his aura is increased by his divine treasure, the skin of the Nemean Lion. With this, even tank fire bounces off of him. His aura is able to withstand incredible amounts of force and power, though it is limited.

-Enhanced physiology and condition

Divine Treasures

-Skin of the Nemean Lion: The sacred treasure of Hercules. This lion was inpervious to attack and its claws could cut down anyone. It was Hercules who wrestled the beast, defeated it, and used its own claws to skin it. Now his treasure, wearing this protects Sampson from harm.

- Club: Hercules' weapon. A powerful club able to smash anything by channeling Hercules' raw power through it.
