OVERVIEW

Ares was the god of war in Greek mythology, and because of the ongoing conflicts and strife in the world one of the most powerful Olympian Gods. For about 3,000 years, the Greek and Roman versions of the Olympians (including Ares/Mars) were separate entities. They were only recently merged again. Ares has been an enemy of the Amazons of Themyscira for millennia and has repeatedly clashed with their champion Wonder Woman). Recently he, seemed to meet his death at the hands of Wonder Woman, but his spirit still lingers.
