I have always loved Marvel's version of Hercules. He's been misused too often, and I think the points others have already brought up are on the money.
But he could be a big star. Play him like the big, fun loving guy that he is, but also as a man from another time. Plenty of room for lighthearted comedy there, but also for more serious stories at times. But leave lots of emphasis on the fun.
Also important...play him as a GOOD guy. Make him loud, make him overbearing at times, but don't make him a jerk. He's good hearted, he's noble...he's a HERO, We used to have lots of those in comics.
On another note, for years I've dreamed about a new Champions series that would feature Hercules as a mainstay, Hawkeye as the leader, and a number of other poorly used or under-used cool characters. (How about Firebird? She's cool...and would make a good straightwoman for H&H.)
