HISTORY

Antaeus was a member of the villain team called the New Olympians, organized years ago by the gangleader Maxie Zeus in an attempt to affect the outcome of the Olympics. The members were mortal villains with names and super-powers that correspond to the abilities of Gods of the Greco-Roman pantheon. The New Olympians were defeated by the Outsiders (II).

More recently, the New Olympians were killed by Gog as he made his way across Earth, killing those meta-humans that posed as gods. - Justice Society of America Vol. 3 #12
