Dc Comics Characters
Ares is a fictional character, a super villainous Greek god appearing in DC Comics publications and related media. Based upon the Greek mythological figure of the same name, he is the god of war and one of the major adversaries of Wonder Woman. He first appeared in Wonder Woman #1, volume 1, published in the summer of 1942, written by Wonder Woman creator William Mouton Mars ton. In the very next issue,he reappeared under his Roman name, Mars. He would retain this name until February 1987 when comics writer/artist George Perez restored the Greek name Ares as part of his reboot of the Wonder Woman myths.
As the narrative continuity of the Wonder Woman comic has been adjusted
by different writers throughout the years, various versions of
Mars/Ares, with various personalities and physical appearances, have
been presented. His current incarnation has, in recent years, appeared
in one of two guises - either as a muscular blond man in contemporary
clothing, with red eyes and a scarred torso; or as a demonic Greek
warrior clad in black and blue battle armor, face hidden by a hop lite
helmet.
