Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.

I mean, literally all people would get their asses kicked if they got into a fight with either super man or hercules

I would just pray to hera that zeus wouldnt shut up about how hercules is his favorite son and how he cheats on her constantly. I would feed superman non stop blackpill content until he just leaves the planet.

Getting myself involved in the family drama of the greek gods? I would probably rather just take my ass kicking.

Gonna be hard to black pill a super human, that is very handsome in all the conventional ways, who was raised by good parents. He would probably just try to get you into therapy.

Meddling in the affairs of Mt. Olympus is a good to get turned into animal. Or a monster. Or impregnated by Zeus.

Zeus:

Also Zeus would probably have minimal qualms about transing your gender so us guys aren't particularly safe either. Though that's more of a Norse thing weirdly enough since I'm pretty sure Odin, Thor, and Loki all turned into women for various reasons.

Loki turned into a mare, got pregnant by a magic stallion, and gave birth to an eight-legged horse.

Loki also gave birth to the evils that woe man or something like that can't remember the exact wording, regardless Loki is the mother and father to like half of the creatures of Norse and pan Germanic mythology. Also that horse is Sleipnir which is Odin's mount, this whole situation was started because the Aesir were being cheap ass motherfuckers.
