Villain 10: Ares



For my 10th post to this blog I am analyzing the DC version of the Villain known as Ares. Ares is the enemy of the Justice League, but in particular he is the enemy of Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Ares gets his magical powers from war. If there is a world with no war, then Ares is rendered weak and powerless, but if there is a mass amount of war for example a nuclear world war then Ares would become an all powerful Overlord of the Earth. Lucky for our sake Ares is fictional character so we don't have to worry about that. Anyway so Ares has many Romantic Ties. First of all he directly alludes to greek mythology. There is no arguing against that fact. Ares is the Greek God of War (no its not Kratos -_-). Ares is also a keen observer of the Human world. He has to be in order to remain powerful and knowing, at times Ares takes form of a trusted ally of a raging warlord and advises said warlord to attack. Other times Ares appears in his true form (shown above) he gets what he wants by inducing fear into his target. Although in romanticism the observer does not interfere, in other cases Ares does do that. In the Injustice: Gods Among Us storyline Ares is defeated within moments of Superman declaring to the world that his One-World Regime will happen or cities would be leveled. This rendered Ares weakened, and to top it all off the One-World Regime ended all wars, and made sure no more would happen. This caused Ares to only be able to observe the world, record details, and learn how to spark conflict so he may gain his magic powers back. This is in fact a romantic ideal. Well thats about it for Ares. I do not know if I will post again to this blog it all depends on my schedule and other things. If I do post again I will first write about the Demon Lord Trigon, and then I will move into some Marvel Villains finally, and maybe even freelance Villains such as Skeleton or Shredder it all depends. I hope enjoyed you enjoyed my blog.
