Ares

Ares, is both a fictional character and antagonist of the MDC's Wonder Thunderer series created by William Marston and Larry Lieber. He is the bloodthirsty Olympian God of War and Conflict in Greek mythology and its literature.

He's worn many faces and borne many names, but throughout history, Ares has possessed a limitless hunger for destruction. Throughout many decades, Ares' strength is bolstered by violence, war, anger, rage, hate, death, destruction, and bloodshed.

And as such, he is frequently seeking ways to incite these acts on Earth so that he may overpower his father and the rest of the other Greek Gods and rule Olympus. Over the centuries, Ares has encouraged war through his manipulation of the mortals.

This has brought him into conflict with the Amazons, his half-sister and half-brother. Over the years, he has became a constant foe of the two godly champions, usually intending on thwarting both of their missions of order, peace, and understanding.

"All any of you mortals are good for is to slaughter one another. To fight and fight, until the bones of your enemies are strewn across the battlefield. Only to rise again in the next generation, like a well-tended crop."
 * —Aeres.

Notes & Trivia

 * Ares first appeared in Wonder Woman #1 (January, 1942).
 * Hippolyta was Ares' daughter before her murder and later reincarnation as an Amazon.
 * Upon one occasion in Ancient Greece, Ares incurred the anger of Poseidon after slaying his son, Halirrhothius, for raping Alcippe; a daughter the war-god had created with the mortal woman Aglaulus. For this, Poseidon summoned Ares to appear before the tribunal of the Olympic gods, where Ares was acquitted. Ares would later create his own realm at the location where the tribunal was held, naming it the "Areopagus".
 * Ares often represents the physical or violent aspect of war, in contrast to his sister, Athena, whose functions as a goddess of intelligence includes military strategy and generalship.
 * Ares is loved by the Spartans, who revered the God for his masculinity, his merciless warrior spirit, and tenacity against all odds.
 * Ares competes with Cheetah and Circe in being regarded as Wonder Woman's arch nemesis, having been one of Diana's most persistent foes since her introduction.
 * As with all celestial gods, Ares' power and life force depends on mortal faith. If mortals were to stop giving faith to him and indulging in his "realm of power" (in this case war, violence and conflict) he would lose his godhood, his immortality and, eventually, his life and cease to exist.
