Ares (DC Extended Universe)

## Summary

**Ares** is the fearsome Olympian God of War and one of Zeus' many divine children. According to legend, when Zeus created humanity, Ares was disgusted with his father's creation 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.

As time passed, the animosity between Ares and Zeus only grew, and eventually culminated in the War of the Gods. During it, Ares personally slayed 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 stopped in 1918 by Wonder Woman, Zeus' own daughter with the Amazon Queen Hippolyta.
