**Zeus**, previously known as **Jerry**, is an immortal who reset very recently in the comic's timeline. Jerry had a proper immortal death and Zeus retained all knowledge his previous incarnation intended for him, but there are obvious differences in his personality.

Prior to resetting, **Jerry** was a 208-year-old immortal who dressed like Santa Claus. When he was 75 years old, he had created the Hammers, which allowed women to punish men for making inappropriate comments about them, and also allowed those men to not feel guilty about doing so. He recently reset his life; consequently, the Hammers could no longer be summoned.

Susan, Sarah and Grace visited the cave where the artifact powering the hammers was kept to investigate why the hammers no longer worked. There, they met Jerry. When Susan learned the purpose of the hammers, she became outraged, leading to an angst-induced awakening. Jerry used his serenity spell on Susan to calm her down, which surrounded her with tactile illusory cute animals and flowery grass. He then made a spellbook for the now-awakened Susan. He was surprised that she had essentially received the Hammers as her new spell, allowing her to summon them whenever she wanted, despite the fact that Susan's negative view of the Hammers' origin had triggered her awakening in the first place.

When Jerry learned that the French Immortals sent Susan and Nanase to kill the "vampire" Aberration instead of contacting proper authorities, or at least an adult, he decided that the immortal race owed a debt to the two girls. As he was available, he decided that he may as well be the one to pay it. He vowed that he would do so, in whatever life he had to.

Jerry then offered to give Sarah a spell to turn into a man. This caused Sarah to express her doubts about gaining such a spell, which in turn made her ineligible for the spell. When Grace and Susan mentioned Tedd, Jerry recognized him. When Grace asked why he knew about Tedd, he hesitated before saying that Tedd's father is well known within the paranormal community. Then Jerry told the girls to contact Adrian Raven in the event of magic-related emergencies.

## Zeus

After his reset, Jerry, now calling himself **Zeus**, became a very young immortal. He appears as a young man in his twenties and occasionally wears a Santa hat, though he no longer appears Santa-like otherwise. His name change may possibly signify a change in personality, as his previous incarnation had expressed negative opinions on the name "Zeus".

He honors the pledge made by his old self, although he doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it ... it's probably costing him time he could spend having fun.

Sometime before the events in the Family Tree story line, Jerry came to believe that Diane and Susan were sisters. During the party in Family Tree, he stopped Diane from drinking the punch, which was later revealed to have been enchanted by Not-Tengu. He also created two snow angels, which inspired Ellen to copy Nanase's Guardian form and thereby defeat Not-Tengu. He attempted to rationalize this as fulfilling the Immortals' debt to Nanase and Susan, thus justifying abandoning the vow, but was rebuffed by a vision of his former self.

Zeus' actions became the ultimate argument which finally convinced Susan that Diane was her sister. However, he then reveals (in monologue) that he had actually reached that conclusion for same reason as Ellen and Nanase did, and that he wasn't certain how the two girls were related. He was later seen struggling to come up with ways of confirming his conclusions.

Zeus is later seen guarding Susan while he contemplated on other ways to investigate the relationship between Susan and Diane while keeping himself safe. He is then found by Pandora who demands to know why he was there. It appears that she renewed his "enthusiasm" in keeping Susan and Diane safe, as he is later seen still keeping an eye on the former while muttering to himself about the latter.

Zeus' new name was finally revealed when he intervened during a vampire attack in a mall, while trying to get Susan and Diane to safety. When Susan refuses to flee and instead battles the vampires, Jerry focuses on keeping Diane out of danger. He then confesses to Diane his theory that she is distantly related to Susan, as well as Pandora and Adrian Raven.

When Pandora finally breaks the Immortal laws to save Adrian, Zeus lets Susan approach them and learn her true ancestry. Zeus, along with all other immortals, is then forced by Pandora to cast a spell that destroys all aberrations near them.

Zeus is last seen in a gathering of immortals, seemingly held by Voltaire.
