I always expected Ares to have actual powers involving war and conflict aside from just having tactics and military prowess.

Hopefully they retcon it like that was just an avatar like they did with that gay character, I forget his name.

Oh yea, Darkseid. 🙂

@Wildshadow,

You're right in that Ares SHOULD be up there with Thor by virtue of what kind of god he is. However, on panel at least, the way it ought to be is a far cry from the way it is.

i agree that Ares should have bn given more powers similar to DC and suiting the god of war..

Yep.

Bendis is dumb and should be hated.

it would have bn nice if ares base strength did top of at 75 ton range every time he was weight lifting or just measuring his strength but would amp up depending on the amount of violence he was currently involved in feeding him strength by rage and hate of war and battle...similar to hulk but could also be his weakness if his opponents were not alive but unfeeling automatons....

Then again, War as we know it is only as old as human history, so what the heck was Ares doing before then?

Yeah, I've heard that from Bendis in the past. Curious though, that Ares gets ripped in half by Sentry without doing anything of consequence to the golden one, while Thor puts up a real fight against him. That was written by Bendis - seems to be giving the Odinson his just due.

placing bets on which animal kills the other like we sue to do in iraq when we would make bets on scorpions and sand spiders...

anyways a good way to increase Ares strength and power class is to give him the Executioner Axe from asgard... it would suit him fine and shouldnt have negative effects as it had on others since he is a god and has similar temperament of the original executioner..

i could have seen ares given the axe when he had turn on the dark avengers and started fighting for asgard but now he is dead... if he had the axe he could have bn somewhat equal if not superior to thor in stats due to his already existing abilities... i my mind such an ares would have sh@# stomp sentry and sentry wouldnt have bn able to pull the garbage sh## he did in the comic... turning ares from jobber to straight out fodder

@Cosmic comet,
IMO they allow things to happen to him on (and off) panel that they would never allow with their top tier characters. But I'm not really a big Thor fan so maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Seems to me that most of Thor's low showings have excuses behind them. He also has had ridiculously high showings as well.

I would summarize it as the writers are either hot or cold on Thor depending on who they are individually. Honestly screw Marvel for their inconsistencies, they should protect some of their characters better than they do based on the powerset they were created for.

IMO Thor should be the cream of the crop on Marvel Earth by far (except for Juggernaut), but should have fewer appearances so as to make them special when he IS on the scene. Thor should be well above such an overall mid-level team like the Avengers.

I've always been confused...what exactly is jobbing?

Basically, jobbing is constant failure and losing to make others look good in the stories.

Terrax for example is a huge powerhouse, but he's a friggin jobber.

Professional wrestling term. Jobbing just means losing, but a jobber is more of a "professional loser", or someone who loses more often than not, and is supposed to make the other guy look good doing it.

Pretty much their main purpose is to pump up the people they face.

@cosmic comet,
But ultimately it all has to be approved by the editors. Some of whom we know can have personal biases against/for certain characters. So IMO it's more then just inconsistent writers.

As it stands, Apocalypse has created more impressive War incarnations than the god.

its the damn fault of fat joe quesadilla aka Joe Quesada...

god i dont care how many titles he has sold under his tenure he is still a bag of Sh$^ for what he has done to the more famous popular heroes...

"o we cant have our anti heroes drinking and cursing so much and keep the drinking to a bear minimum its a bad example to the kids... no more pain killers and drugs".. @$$ but lets screw with continuity to sell comics lets start off with spiderman and wolverine our most popular heroes.. ooh thor he has too many cosmic adventures and fights lets make him more earth bound hence make him weaker so earth heroes can compete..

The funny thing is I don't think even Bendis writes them at similar levels. Ares didn't do Thor-level stuff during his run with him on Mighty Avengers and it'd hardly take all the U-Foes to knock him down.

Bendis, Pak and Loeb are all in the same crap boat imo.
