How can anyone possibly us his inspiration? they take a power action to place hercules adjacent to them, now they have +1 damage, but they can't attack because each character only gets one action per turn, and next turn hercules has to be removed immediately.

Inspiration effect applies to all adjacent friendly characters, not just the character that called them in.

You bring in Herc when you have another fig or figs you can set him up adjacent to. That figure gets a bump in damage, then you swing with Herc to beat them down even further.

Real Name for this card is Heracles.

i was super excited about this, but then all Hercs have Hercules as a real name
