DC Ares is the cause of every war in dcu and the more war the more powerful be become. OH he is also a death god meaning the have power over the dead. he can do everything thor can but just on a bigger scale. He guy outsmart both darksied and highfather in genesis plus he can also control reality to his making
Actually DS refers to anyone who isn't a New God as lessor Gods. But Highfather consider's Zeus and Odin his peers. Meaning that either DS has grown more powerful than Highfather,( as hinted when he absorbed all those pantheon's powers), or Odin and Zeus are the creme of the crop sky father's in DC alone with DS and Highfather. In any case, Ares is very powerful. oF universal might. He is the god of war and any where there is war, his power grows. And if you fight him, you only make him that much stronger. Only 4 Greek Gods are more powerful. Zeus, Hera, Hade's and the All mother Geae.
