I appreciate the frequent posts on this thread.
A nice little something to brighten up your day.

Not gonna lie, part of the reason I really like posting in here as much as I do is to have a bit of a progression going on. Kinda embarrassed by how much I used to beg for suggestions though. I still kinda do but not nearly as often. Got a proper list for it now.

Is that Hercule? I don't recognize a lot of the characters you draw except for many Dragonball Z characters.

Yes. That's definitely him.

EDIT: Hercule is a made-up name created by the French which was used later in the American localisation. The guy's real name is Mark, according to Toriyama himself.

This is correct. It is never directly mentioned in the series and came from an interview however which means its kinda obscure unfortunately.
@Kakariko Kid
His real name in terms of actual referral is "Mr. Satan". Its a joke because his character is actively deceiving others into thinking he's the greatest and takes the glory for others' accomplishments, literally tricking the whole world into thinking he's their savior at one point.
Other puns related to him. Videl, his daughter, is Devil rearranged, and his wife was named Miguel, an Archangel's name.

If you're ever unsure as to the origins of a character, you are more than welcome to ask about them. I enjoy introducing people to things I enjoy.

This is a character I'm working on right now. I'm still not sure what to call her.

Actually, I have seen him called Mr. Satan but never looked into it.
Miguel aka Michael leads the armies of God against Satan and defeat him in the book of Revelation; Mrs. Satan being deceased is a stark contrast as is the reference of an archangel marrying Satan. And of course, Miguel/Michael/Mikhail is usually a male name. I find this interesting.

Yep, Hercule is a dub thing, specifically the French and English dub. Something about taking a teen rated series and marketing it at kids, and wanting to avoid the wrath of a couple thousand soccer moms.
