**Zeus Panhellenios**, is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *Justice Avengers* series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby. He is the mightiest Olympian God of Thunder, and Lightning.

He is worshipped by both the Ancient Greeks and the Amazons alike as the King of the Gods of Olympus and ruler of Mount Olympus. As the chief Greek deity, Zeus is known and considered as the greatest ruler, protector, and father of all gods and humans.

Over the centuries, he has created new life forms both on Mount Olympus and the mortal world, where he educated humans on weather, astronomy and science through his wisdom and will. He had bestowed some of his power, and lightning, to Shazam.

Though he loves his wife, he is known for his many offspring, having fathered numerous children with many different women, both mortal and immortal that he has seduced over the millennia, including with those, whom have shared both a daughter, and son.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Olympian Physiology**: Zeus belongs to a race of ancient and inconceivably powerful beings known as the Gods of Olympus. Because of this heritage, Zeus possesses great and immense power, and has described his power as celestial and omnipotent. However, as Skyfather of the Olympian gods, many of these abilities are vastly superior to those possessed by the vast majority of his race. Indeed, he managed to defeat The Hulk who was at his normal levels, Darkseid in his weakened state, and Galactus in combat (though it's worth noticing that Zeus was possessed by the Chaos King in the latter case). Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet classified him at the same power level of Galactus and Odin.
	+ **Immortality**: As an Olympian like all others, Zeus is functionally immortal, and cannot die by any ordinary means. He is immune to aging and has not aged since reaching adulthood. He cannot die by any conventional means. Zeus is also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
	+ **Self Sustenance**: Zeus is almost completely self-sustained, he does not require air, and does not need to eat or drink.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Zeus is capable of generating and manipulating tremendous amounts of electricity with lethal efficiency and to project them from his hands in the form of lightning bolts has become his trademark, and his ability to manipulate electrical energy was shown to greatly exceed that of Thor. During his battle with Darkseid he channeled electricity through his fists to amplify the effectiveness of his blows.
		- **Electro-Blast**: Zeus is able to manipulate the lightning he commands, projecting his electrical energy as destructive blasts of electricity or bolts of lightning. This electricity is strong enough to harm Darkseid in his weakened state.
		- **Energy Construct Creation**: Zeus was able to construct a cape out of the electrical energy he generates.
		- **Disintegration**: Zeus was able to mentally cause a person to combust in lightning, and instantly disintegrate.
		- **Intangibility**: Zeus is capable of making himself intangible, as shown when Darksied attempted to punch him, but his attack phased right through Zeus.
		- **Teleportation**: Zeus is capable of teleporting himself to various locations.
	+ **Aerokinesis**:
		- **Weather Manipulation**: As god of the storms, Zeus is able to manipulate weather. During his fight with Darkseid he made rain fall from the skies and cause a lightning storm.
	+ **Magic**: Zeus possess vast magical powers of an unknown nature, which surpass the magic-wielding powers of any other Olympian god.
		- **Magical Manipulation:**: Zeus can generate and manipulate other forms of energy as well. Only a small number of the ways in which Zeus can utilize his superhuman abilities are as yet known. His magic manipulation is powerful enough to overpower both Thor and Silver Surfer.
* **Spell Casting:** Among these are the augmentation of physical strength and endurance and the enchantment of living beings or of objects. Zeus can create interdimensional apertures through which he can transport himself and even the entire Olympian army.
	+ - **Energy Avatar**: He can project his image, voice, and energy bolts from the Olympian dimension into that of Earth.
		- **Energy Projection**: In addition to being able to manipulate energy, he can project it in vast quantities offensively or defensively. His energy projection is vast enough to match Odin and Galactus or destroy entire galaxies. However, his powers are still inferior to universe level beings, such as Eternity.
		- **Power Distribution**:
		- **Telekinesis**:
		- **Dimensional Travel**: Zeus is capable of traveling back and fourth from Olympus to Earth.
		- **Transformation**: Zeus is able to alter his physical form at will. Zeus can change his shape into that of other humanoid beings (as when he impersonated Blake Hooper- Hercules' lawyer, or Amphitryon- Alcmena's husband), of animals (as when he manifests himself as a bald eagle a lot of the time), or even of objects.
		- **Invisibility**: With this power Zeus was able to hide Paradise Island from the rest of the world, just as Diana, his daughter, inherited this power and managed to turn a military jet into an invisible one.
		- **Reality Alteration**:
	+ **Cosmic Awareness**: Zeus is aware of the multiverse and the realms that lie beyond. This knowledge gives him an understanding of the universe and all life that transcends the capabilities of normal mortals.
	+ **Enhanced Senses**: Zeus was able to sense that Darkseid had been stealing the life-force of his children, in order to gain power.
	+ **Flight**: During Chaos War, Zeus has been shown to levitate and fly.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Zeus is able to move at speeds far greater even than any of the finest human athletes, enabling him to run 111-115 mph. He was fast enough to match Darkseid's combat speed. During this fight, Wonder Woman stated she had never seen a battle happen at that speed they were fighting.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Zeus' agility, balance, and bodily coordination, have been conditioned to levels that are far superior to the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**: Zeus' reflexes have been greatly conditioned and are much more superior to the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
	+ **Godlike Stamina**: Zeus' highly advanced physiology generates almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, enabling to sustain almost indefinitely. As a result, he possesses almost limitless superhuman stamina. His stamina is matched among the Olympians only by his brothers Pluto and Neptune and his sons Ares, Hercules, and Hermes.
	+ **Superhumanly Dense Tissue**: Zeus' skin, muscle, bone, and all other bodily tissues have 3 times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being. This contributes somewhat, to Zeus' superhuman strength and weight.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Like all Olympians, Zeus is superhumanly strong. His strength is far superior to the vast majority of his race and he is capable of lifting over 100 tons, without supplementing his strength with his other powers. He is physically the second strongest of the Olympians, surpassed only by his son, Hercules; however, he can match or surpass Hercules by only boosting himself with his other powers. His punches created shockwaves that caused minor earthquakes around the area of the fight.
	+ **Invulnerability**: Zeus is highly resistant to physical injury and can not be harmed in the conventional way, far more so than the vast majority of his race. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, falls from tremendous heights, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. He withstood a full-powered blast from Galactus, resulting in the latter to acknowledge that no mere Skyfather could easily shrug-off Galactus's cosmic powers. He also withstood a getting struck by Mjolnir with no sign of injury. His resistance to injury among the Olympians is matched only by Pluto. Wonder Woman stated that not even Superman is capable of causing him harm.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Like all Olympians, if injured, Zeus is capable of healing himself with superhuman speeds and efficiency, enabling him to heal all injuries. He is even capable of regenerating missing limbs or organs if necessary. Among the Olympians, his healing powers are equaled only by those of his brother Pluto.
	+ **Precognition**: Zeus also has limited precognitive abilities, and in ancient times was the patron of an oracle at Dodona, through which he delivered prophesies. These abilities enabled Zeus, at the time of the Trojan War, to "remember" the Asgard-Olympus war which had occurred centuries afterwards.
	+ **Allspeak**: Due to the Allspeak (also called *All-Tongue*), Zeus can communicate in all languages, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.

### Abilities

* **Leadership**:
* **Politics**:
* **Intimidation**:
* **Deception**:
* **Disguise**:
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat** (Advanced): Zeus is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and is particularly skilled at employing his vast energy manipulating abilities including lightning bolts in combat situations, making him virtually invincible. He is shown to have enough skill to defeat the Hulk in hand to hand combat.
* **Seduction**: Zeus is a god with an insatiable sex drive, having had numerous children with different women, both mortal and immortal, that he has seduced over the millennia.
* **Weaponry**:
	+ **Throwing**:

### Weapons

* **Thunderbolts**: Thunderbolts made by Hephaestus

## Notes & Trivia

* Zeus first appeared in *Superman #28* (May, 1944).
* Zeus loves Hera, but he also loves Greece and often snuck down to Earth in disguise to give his seeds to mortals he came to favor. He wanted many children to inherit his greatness and become great heroes and rulers of Greece. Eventually he came to consider the Seeds of Creation within his genitals and their ability to create powerful children as the greatest gift he could bestow and as such would offer to lie with female beings as their reward for their fealty.
* Zeus once took the shape of a Satyr to seduce the maiden Antiope (daughter of the "nocturnal" king Nycteus) and gave her twins Amphion and Zethus.
* Zeus is a member of the Quintessence; a group of all powerful beings who keep tabs on the order of the universe as lords and guardians of eternity. Their roster currently consists of the Olympian god **Zeus**, the Maltusian Ganthet, the immortal wizard Shazam, the New God Highfather, and the mystical being known as the Phantom Stranger.
* Zeus is also one of the benefactors of Shazam and the Shazam Family.
* The mortal man Tiresias, son of the spartan Eueres and the nymph Khariklo, and a priest of Zeus, was once out on a walk when he saw two snakes mating. He sat there watching for hours but when the snakes sensed his presence they attacked him. Striking the female snake, Tiresias was instantly transformed into a woman and remained female for seven years. As a woman, Tiresias became a priestess of Hera, married and had children, including a daughter named Manto. Then, one day, Tiresias encountered the snakes mating again but this time she struck the male one, instantly turning back into a man. When Zeus and Hera had a disagreement over which gender enjoyed the most pleasure during sex; with Hera insisting that men enjoyed sex more while Zeus claimed the opposite, they decided to let Tiresias judge, since he had experienced sex as both. Tiresias then said, that if sexual pleasure could be put on a scale from one to ten, women enjoyed it nine times to men's one. Affronted by the implied notion that her gender, and by extension her, enjoyed and desired the act of fornication so much more than men, Hera blinded Tiresias, but Zeus, in recompense, gave the mortal inner sight, wisdom and the ability to see the future; extending his life for seven generations.
