Alright, let's try this again.

Equipment: Maui's Hook is the main source of his transformation powers - and without it, he's stuck in the form of a man. Problem is, it seems that he was stuck without it for at least a thousand years, and is a little out of practice with it, and has only recently relearned how to use it. It might be good at causing some hard strikes, but without it, he has some problems. Hercules's sword and bow and arrows are nothing special, being useful for slicing and dicing and turning foes into pin-cushions, but there's no tricks needed to learn how to use them effectively, beyond your basic swordsmanship and archery training. Edge: Hercules

Powers: In many ways, these guys have the same powers - strong beyond strong, and tough beyond tough. However, the thing in Hercules's favor is this - he went through a lot of training, which helped out all of his muscles, which means it is easier for him to do things like lifting heavy objects, and hold them for long periods of time. Also, Hercules can swim, unlike Maui who can't float. Edge: Hercules

Deadliest Warrior: Sorry if this is one-sided, but Hercules seems to be the one who will win the battle of the Demigods. Sure Maui has done great things, but he's been stuck on an island for the last thousand years, and is a little out of shape before he tries to get his hook back. Hercules has been in constant training for at least a year, if not longer, before he set out to try to prove himself a hero. Winner: Hercules
