Ares (DC Extended Universe)

## Summary

**Ares** is the Olympian God of War and son of Zeus. When his father created humanity, Ares was disgusted and sought to reveal their true nature, forever cursing men with wrath, hatred, and bloodlust. As a response, Zeus gave life to the Amazons, to protect men from evil and guide them with love. The animosity between Ares and Zeus grew, and eventually culminated in the War of the Gods. Ares slew the Olympian deities one by one and faced his father in a final battle. Ares was defeated, though Zeus was left mortally wounded. With his dying breath, the King of the Gods created the island of Themyscira, where the Amazons would stay concealed, always preparing for Ares' eventual return. Since them, Ares was indirectly behind most major conflicts and wars in human history, influencing the minds and hearts of key figures from the shadows, bestowing them with wrath and ambition, and gifting them with inspiration for strategies and battle plans. He was finally killed in 1918 by Wonder Woman.
