Official Descriptions[]

Spoiler warning: The following information contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk.

Hades is the unseen overarching antagonist of Kid Icarus, and the final boss of Kid Icarus Uprising. He is the true master of the underworld while Medusa does his dirty work.

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hades)[]

"The true master of the Underworld. He is immeasurably strong - even among the divine pantheon - but prefers to rule from the shadows, forcing Medusa to do his dirty work. Yet even with all this evil, Hades still manages to act nonchalant."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hades's Heart)[]

"At least this is as close to a "heart" as someone like Hades could have. Clearly not made to pump blood, Hades's Heart moves and acts like it has a mind of its own, wildly running around its enemies and setting traps as it goes."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hades (Battle))[]

"Hades, prepared for the final battle. Covered with missiles, his body is quite literally a weapon of mass destruction. Only Hades's selfish protection of the Underworld's bottom line keeps him from going all out on Pit."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hades (New Legs))[]

"After being cut in half by the Great Sacred Treasure, Hades heads to the surface world to regenerate his legs. Because this trick uses an immense number of souls, the usually invincible Hades suffers damage in the process."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Medusa vs. Hades)[]

"Spoiler alert: Medusa saves the day! Medusa's surviving spirit stops Hades before he can deliver the finishing blow to Pit. In her weakened state, she can't hold him off forever, but the goddess gets an A for vindictive tenacity."

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Idol Description (Hades (Final))[]

"Mere moments after having his head crushed by Medusa, Hades returns with a new, fresh complexion. While he attacks Pit with a renewed ferocity, it still isn't enough to withstand the assault of the Great Sacred Treasure."
