Zeus

Zeus Panhellenios

  • Zeus
  • No Dual Identity

Zeus is the ruler of the Olympian gods and a member of the Council of Godheads, which coordinates the pantheons of Earth. After overthrowing his father Cronus, he led the Olympians to prominence through worship in ancient Greece and has frequently clashed with Thor and the Avengers, often over his son Hercules. He was killed by Amatsu-Mikaboshi during the Chaos War, later returned, and has since lost and regained his throne and powers. He remains a proud, temperamental yet formidable patriarch.
