Iolaus went in to battle with just mere mortal strength. He didnt have demi god blood in him, and was much more at risk when he fought than Herc was. He had the courage of a lion and a heart bigger than the outdoors. He freely gave his all to help those in need. You also couldnt ask for a better friend than he was. Hercules had a lot of those qualities too. He also was a wonderful friend, and would help anyone who needed him. He also had a LOT of personal loss, but still put himself last in the face of those in need. He never made a selfish decision. So, who do you think is the bigger hero? VISIT TALKING XENA

And I also agree with what you said with Herc, I also liked the fact that he always gave somebody the benefit of the doubt. And also when somebody had a dark violent past like Xena and Derek did, and set them off in a new direction.

He asked people to stop their villaining before he had to stop them himself. He was a hero because people asked him to be a hero and he had the heart/strength for it. Iolaus overcame a lot to fight alongside Herc and not be a hindrance. But he also seemed to enjoy kicking ass and taking names. Stepping out, my dear, to breathe an atmosphere. . . .

Both were heroes...one who rose above his limitations and human flaws, the other who didn't act like the demigod he was and (at least before the character assassination of GFC) who kept his cool and compassionate nature in the most trying circumstances.

He was no demigod, and yet he chose to live at the side of Hercules, fighting with him, putting himself in much greater danger. He was loyal to Hercules more than anyone else, and even when Herc's "fans" betrayed him (the murder of Serena comes to mind), he still stood by his side. www.amazontrails.com/xena/retribution_noa.htm Want to see what I look like? http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v238/scrambles_eggs/ visit my wallpapers: http://community.webshots.com/user/wiccan_tara

Otherwise, they're pretty neck and neck.

I'd have to agree they were both heros. each overcoming whatever shortfall they thought they had, even tho neither truly had one.

They face the same odds, they fought side by side. But I do think that Iolaus was a little more willing to do what he had to do, despite not having the strength that Hercules possessed. That's not to say that he was more of a hero than Hercules, but he had to work twice as hard to do exactly what Hercules did. I praise him for that.

Herc has been my Hero from day 1! However, I think he can handle us both. I also to agree that both guys are great but side a little more towards Herc.
