Marvel Universe .Fictional character biography
Hera is the Queen of the Olympian pantheon and wife of Zeus. Neptune and Pluto are her brothers, Demeter and Vesta are her sisters, and Ares and Hephaestus are her sons. She was born on the island of Samos, and now resides with the rest of the pantheon in Olympus.
Hera was present at the time of a pact made a millennia ago to end war between Asgard and Olympus. ["Thor Annual" #5] It was also revealed that she was present during the Trojan War. ["Thor Annual" #8] When Hercules was gravely wounded fighting the
Masters of Evil , Zeus blamed the Avengers for his condition. Hera sought to aid the Avengers in Olympus against the wrath of Zeus. ["Avengers" #284-285] Later, Hera challenged Ares to a contest to see who could cause Hercules more sorrow. She began a plot against Hercules concerning his growing love for the mortal Taylor Madison. ["Avengers" #349]Powers and abilities
Hera possesses the typical powers of an Olympian, including superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes, and virtual immortality. Hera also possessed the powers that were commomn to most Olympians such as changing her shape or teleporting herself across great distances or dimensions. She can, presumably, channel energy for destructive purposes as well.
Hera is a cunning strategist.
Hera rides about on mystical chariots built by Hephaestus. They are drawn by magical horses and are capable of flight and traversing the dimensions.
Other versions
In one alternate future, depicted in "Hercules" Vol. 2 #1-4, Hera and the other Olympians leave Olympus in the 23rd century, leaving Hercules there to father a new race of gods.
