Hercule Satan

"A weakling like you stands no chance!"

- Hercule Satan to Dan Hibiki

Hercule Satan is a character from the Dragon Ball series. He starred in the 53rd episode, Hercule Satan VS Dan Hibiki, where he went against Street Fighter's resident wimp Dan Hibiki. He was voiced by Alejandro Saab.

History
When Mark was young, he attended a fighting dojo called "Satan Castle." Through a combination of considerable power and good luck (his rival fighting opponent would get food poisoning, for instance), he quickly became world champion and was called "Mr. Satan" after the name of his dojo. Despite his reputation, he vowed not to fight anyone crazy stronger than him after his martial arts master was killed by Mercenary Tao. He would eventually have a daughter named Videl, who would go on to date and eventually marry Goku's son Gohan (whom he stole credit from for defeating Cell).

Despite being outclassed in speed and strength by the Z-Fighters, Hercule is still regarded as one of the best in the world by a combination of skills, luck, and money, his reputation proved useful when helping Goku defeat Kid Buu. Satan would go on to befriend Majin Buu.

Trivia

 * Hercule Satan is the eighth anime/manga character to get into Death Battle.

Ace, Android 18, Renamon, Naruto Uzumaki and Ichigo Kurosaki.
 * He is also the fourth Dragon Ball character to get into Death Battle. The first three being Vegeta, Goku, Majin Buu and following him is Android 18.
 * Hercule is the second Dragon Ball character to win a Death Battle, the first being Vegeta and the third being Android 18.
 * Hercule and Batman are probably the most human-like combatants on the show so far; possessing no obvious superhuman feats and fighting only with their normal martial arts and gadgets.
 * Hercule is easily the weakest Dragon Ball combatant and death battle winner.
 * Hercule is one of eighteen combatants to fight in both Death Battle and One Minute Melee against the same person. The others are Deadpool, Deathstroke, Green Arrow, Hawkeye, Dan Hibiki, Vegeta, Shadow, Natsu Dragneel, Portgas D. Ace, Lucario, Renamon, Luigi, Tails, Mario, Sonic, Sephiroth and Vergil.

 * Despite lacking the ability to use Ki like the other Dragon Ball characters, it should be noted Hercule is the only being to ever survive all encounters with Cell and Majin Buu. Even Goku and Vegeta have died against Cell and Buu, respectively.
 * Chris Rager (whom voices Hercule in the Dragon Ball anime series) would eventually end up voicing McGruff the Crime Dog in Smokey Bear VS McGruff the Crime Dog.
 * Humorously enough, Smokey Bear would be voiced by Christopher Sabat (whom voices Vegeta in the same series as Hercule).
