Predictably, the monsters wouldn’t be bound to the same rules as the Olympian gods. These are the stereotypical dark forces, actually born from darkness and chaos, and grow in power the deeper they are in the darkness.
The trope’s pretty self-explanatory, considering everything.
Actually, now that I think about it, the deeper lock-ups would be reserved for the most evil of sorts (Hades himself not included, as he has a role like all the other gods, his being to contain the evil). Would we be expecting the most powerful of evil beings, to come from this comic plot, to also be sentient and cognitive, or mindless like the other beings? When you really think about it, you could argue that it goes either way.
And considering that the other half of Cait’s power is, as expected of Hades, containment, would we expect Cait to take on Hades’ role and send the forces of darkness back to where they belong? Or would it be more prudent to eliminate said forces to oblivion?
I hadn’t really considered this all until I saw this particular comic panel. And now… I have a lot of questions.
But, wait, if they get ‘recycled’, would that mean they could come back?
And for that matter, if they are literally imprisoned in the land of the dead, wouldn’t killing them just only stall them before they reconstitute and come back? {kind of like with Percy Jackson?}
I’m surprised the original prison guards of Tartarus, the hecatonchires or hundred handers aren’t out and about because aside from hades these fellow inmates kept them in line too.
The worst of the them all I can imagine is *spoiler* Typhon

But why aren’t these critters weaker too?

All of them but the rock guy are straight up dead at this point. He probably just got recycled back out of the hole but maybe is a little gun shy now.
