Summary
WhenThorwas post to Earth , he learn the value of humility , but one futureAvengerperfectly turn this lesson on its head by rule out the " teachings " of his godly father . Not all the gods are as heroical as Thor , and this story is a peachy monitor that in mythology the gods are just as flawed and nasty as the humans they often attend down upon . With a possible MCU presentation on the horizon , now ’s the best clock time to revisit a delineate minute for this Avenger .
In 2006’sAres#2,the titular Hellenic God of War ’s begetter Zeus suggests that Ares , like Thor , has see humility on Earth . ar rejects this idea by punching Zeus right across the boldness .

In the setting of the consequence , Ares is all justified in his anger . Zeus has kidnapped Ares ’ son , Alex , to play the God of War out of retirement to fight one last war for his family . ar eff full well that the other Greek gods despise him for his bloodthirstiness , and that Zeus is just buttering him up , and sometimes the good response are non - verbal .
Just When Ares Thought He was Retired, the Gods Drag Him Back for One Last Job
As seen in the miniseries , Ares leaves Olympus behind after realizing that the gods will never see him as an equal . He fight back the wars that they ca n’t , and they see him as an animate being for it . Unlike Thor , Ares move to Earth of his own accord after leaving his pantheon , raising Alex and work in construction . For ar , there is n’t any fantastic moral lesson in this , just a luck to give his son a normal liveliness . That chance is denied to him when Olympus drags him back into their problems and puts Alex in deadly risk .
The fun sarcasm throughout theAresminiseries is thatall the divinity who contemn Ares are just as awful as they think he is . They just shroud their horridness behind their divinity and their grandeur . The only difference of opinion between them and Ares is that Ares does n’t hide his vileness , both outwardly and to himself internally . No - one represents this better than Zeus . He ’s supposed to be the bang-up of the gods , but he ’s more than happy to put children in the line of fire and then act remorseful after it inevitably goes horribly wrong .
This Series Paved the Way for Ares to Join the Avengers
This miniseries served as the launch launchpad for are ’ popularity in the 2000s through the 2010s , where he went from a minor Thor and Hercules supporting fibre to a major player in the Marvel Universe . The 2000s in particular are often characterise in comics by insurgent , darker tale , and while Ares ’ story candidly has more in common with hyper - masculine ' XC comic strip , he still match the 2000s like a glove . Alex too became a major character reference in writer Jonathan Hickman’sSecret warrior , get his own terrific electric discharge that saw him develop his family relationship with his father at a deeper level .
One thing thatcomparing Ares and Thoraccomplishes is that it draws a clear preeminence between the two characters . This distinction becomes useful when Ares becomes an Avenger , first in Tony Stark’sMighty Avengersand thenNorman Osborn’sDark Avengers . Writers can play with the idea of Ares taking Thor ’s symbolical role on a squad and liken and contrast the two gods ’ heroic styles . With the Greek pantheon already established , the MCU too could easily introduce Ares as aThorreplacement on theAvengerswith a very different attitude towards what his divinity means .
