Heracles (also known as Herakles and Hercules) was the greatest of the Greek heroes with the secret identity as a superhero. He was a past Miraculous holder, but it is unknown which Miraculous was his.[1]
In "Feast", Alya theorizes that he used to carry the Lion Miraculous.

Trivia
- Heracles appears in a painted vase at the beginning of "Ladybug & Cat Noir".
- Given the myths that both he and Hippolyta are in together, they presumably knew each other in the Quantic Universe. These myths also claim the two were lovers (and in some versions, betrothed to each other) until Hera's machinations turned the Amazon army against him, resulting in Heracles killing her (whether intentionally or by accident depends on the version) possibly making this the first time two Miraculous holders opposed each other.
- In Miraculous: Les Aventures de Ladybug et Chat Noir, a French comic adaptation of "Ladybug & Cat Noir", Heracles' depiction on the painted vase is replaced by hieroglyphics of an unknown Miraculous holder.
- Heracles' appearance is a reference to one of twelve labor challenges involving him to slay a lion and wore it's pelt.
- The real world myths of Heracles associate him with three distinct items, all of which could be associated with a Miraculous in some ways. These are the already-mentioned Lion's Pelt (which granted invulnerability), an indestructible war club and a bow-and-arrow that could not possibly miss a target.
