Biography

Mister Satan was born in the year Age 736, under the name of Mark. When he was young, he trained in a martial arts dojo called Satan Castle and through a combination of his strength and good luck, he obtained the title of world champion and took on the name Mr. Satan after his dojo. Satan and his master once encountered Tao Pai Pai at a bar in South City, and insulted his hairstyle. The assassin retaliated by killing Satan's master and leaving Satan himself heavily wounded, which lead to Satan avoiding future confrontations with strangers or dangerously strong people.

At some point in his life, Satan married a singer named Miguel and together they had a daughter, Videl, in Age 757. Through unknown circumstances, Satan and his wife were separated and he raised Videl together with his servants.

In May Age 767, Mister Satan competed in the 24th Tenka'ichi Budōkai and came out as the victor. Later that month, Cell appeared and held the Cell Games, which Satan also attended with little effect. Following the defeat of Cell by Son Gohan, Satan took all the public credit for the deed.

Viz debuts the "Hercule" name spelling in the September 2004 issue of their Shonen Jump print magazine

While other names had up to this point remained faithful to their original Japanese spellings and pronunciations (or otherwise translations of such), Viz followed Funimation in naming the character "Hercule" in their English translation of the manga. The name debuted in the September 2004 issue of the company's monthly Shonen Jump print magazine, where the chapter's introductory page concedes that he is, "...known as Mr. Satan in the original Japanese."

Viz's attempt to reconcile "Mr. Satan" and "Hercule"

Viz's version of chapter 393 attempts to reconcile the two names, suggesting that "Mr. Satan" is his former ring name. Outside of collected volume character introduction entries (which acknowledge that the original Japanese uses "Mr. Satan"), this is the only instance of Viz using "Mr. Satan" in their translations of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super.
