Ares

Ares is an antagonist in ''Wonder Woman: Amazon Warrior. ''He was the Old God of War and the most fearsome son of Zeus, who was worshipped by the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

Personality
Ares, as the God of War, is extremely violent, bloodthirsty, selfish, sinister and egregiously malovolent, willing to wipe out anyone who stands in the way of his ambitions. As time passed, Ares would grow less and less noble and more resentful of the humans he once helped save. Ares became purely evil and irredeemable, as he doesn't hesitate to turn against his allies when they are no longer useful to him, and even against his own family. Indeed, Ares' loyalty is only to those that can be more useful to him than others, having a sadistically romantic view on war. Overall, however, Ares genuinely views himself as an altruist, given his belief that without humanity existing on Earth, the planet would be a paradise.

Ares is also extremely intelligent and divinely wise, given his tremendously long godly lifespan, allowing him unparalleled insight into humanity's darker traits. Hence, even when not utilizing his divine powers, Ares is still extremely dangerous and absolutely lethal.

Despite his violent and bloodthirsty nature though, Ares is a deceptive genius who can expertly hide it under a persuasive facade of calmness, kindness, perceptiveness, as well as his persuasive rhetoric, with Ares also usually not desiring to fight individuals who could be useful to him otherwise. Ares is also a phenomenal demagogue, with the usage of divinely wise and seemingly rational arguments making Ares' method even more effective. Ares is also very persuasive when expressing his viewpoints. Ares' greatest weakness is his occasional overconfidence and arrogance, with the God of War believing that his phenomenal divine power and ability to enhance himself from violence makes him practically unbeatable.
