## Summary

**Ares Enyalius** is the Greek God of War and son of Zeus who due to his nature thrives off of the conflict and violent emotions of mankind and as such often seeks to stoke the fires of Mankind’s wars. This would lead to the creation of the Amazons of Themyscira whom Ares would attempt to destroy via his manipulations including the use of the Mangod Herakles. This would culminate into his rivalry with the Warrior Princess Diana better known as Wonder Woman.

* Manipulated events to cause the destruction of Themyscira
* Nearly killed Diana in their first encounter
* In one possible timeline kills everyone leading to the creation of Genocide
* Killed Highfather in a fraction of a second

Destructive Capacity: **Variable** due to his nature as a God of War but at least **Multi Solar System** Level in base (One shot Wonder Woman and Herakles who have taken blows from Kryptonians like Superman and Doomsday, his other half Mars became as large as a Promethean Giant , his power is such many of the other Gods fear him and **Universe Level** when empowered by conflict (As the God of War Ares can amplify his own power by external conflict, Rivaled the combined might of the entire Greek Pantheon including his father Zeus who killed the Universe making Kane Milohi in his own dimension, killed Highfather Izaya | **Multiversal** (Due to the nature of his True Form should be on par with Darkseid’s true form which can drag reality into a singularity where Darkseid is all and cause Space Time to collapse on a Multiversal Scale | At least **Multiversal** (Due to his command over the Godwave he should be far above the inhabitants of the Sphere of the Gods due to their being created by the Godwave)

Striking Strength: **Variable** due to his nature as a God of War but at least **Class XEJ** in base(Easily overpowers Wonder Woman and nearly killed her on multiple occasions, one shot Io, murders his uncle Hades by stabbing him in the back, oneshot Herakles who could fight a clone of Doomsday, Superior to his sons Phobos and Deimos who could fight on par with Wonder Woman, presumably on par with if not stronger then his fellow deities) **Universe Class** when empowered by conflict (scales to his father Zeus who tore out Kane Milohi's heart with his bare hands, proves to be a match for the entire Greek Pantheon, kills Highfather in a fraction of a second | **Immeasurable** (due to his nature as a Multiversal constant should be beyond quantifiable strength) | **Immeasurable** (Should be far stronger then his true form)

Durability: **Variable** due to his nature as the God of War but at least **Multi Solar System Level** (Sustains several hits from his Roman half Mars who should be on par with him, no sells attacks from Wonder Woman) in base and **Universe Level** when empowered by conflict (Should prove to be as durable as Zeus, can stand up to all the Olympian Gods, survived the final expansion of the Godwave, described to be at Universal levels of power) | **Multiversal** (Should scale to his fellow deities of the God Sphere thanks to their surviving their own Multiversal Effects) | **Multiversal** (Should be far more durable then before)

Speed: **Variable** but varying degrees of **Massively FTL+ Travel**, **Combat** and **Reaction** Speed (Should be just as fast as Wonder Woman who could block attacks from the Shattered God) | **Massively FTL+** (In his true form is larger then a physical Universe and consequently should be this fast) | Possibly **Irrelevant** (Due to the Godwave's being the origin of the Speed Force should be on par with Speedsters such as Wally West and Reverse Flash, both of which could move beyond linear time)
