Ares Vs Thor(read what bendis thinks)

But DC Hades is also a heavyweight. Hera, Zeus, Hades, Ares are all heavyweights in DC. In Marvel it usually just one or 2 from the Norse and Olympian pantheons that could be classified as heavyweights.

Balder wisest of the Norse gods - nothing but an Adonis type figure. Ares - a lower tier warrior.

Heimdall an intriguing god in Norse mythology, the father of the Norsemen who worshiped the gods and arguably the toughest guy in the Norse pantheon, and the guy who ultimately kills Loki - not so tough, not even Thor level.

How is Ares is a heavyweight? What has he done to prove he's more formidable than Thor?

He killed Highfather (who was admittedly caught off guard), something I can't see Thor doing.

So if Thor channeled his energy and caught Izaya off guard with a godblast Izaya would live?

So let me get this straight. Thor, who has battled everything from Surtur to Celestials and everything in between and showed no fear while doing so, pisses himself over Sentry? I mean really?

gotta ask this but, how can bendis think that ares and thor are similar in power yet ares is not as strong as herc, and his magical abilities are very limited

Outside of the core three brothers (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon) and Hera Ares was probably the most powerful Olympian in original myth.

hmm, maybe bendis is trying to do a favor for the myth, still consistency is nice...

I don't blame Bendis so much as whoever the genius was that first chose to make Marvel Ares a Low-Mid Herald.

I was talking about Marvel Ares stature vs his mytholgical stature. And if you're talking about DC Ares, he psionically feeds off of conflict and can manipulate reality to a degree to generate conflict i.e. he trully epitomizes the title of god of war.

As I said, he fulfills his role as a deity of war, he's not just some lower tier warrior with immortality, he actually generates conflict metaphysically and is altered by and strengthened through conflict.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention that he has power over the dead as a death god as well.

Doesn't make sense.

I honestly im not sure he is even up to that. At the very very very best he is low herald level. Not even close to mid. I mean isnt he a 70 tonner? Not to mention his durability doesnt seem to be to great nor does he have a wide range of powers or anything.

Izaya was caught off guard but it wasn't like he was ambushed. He didn't have time to raise an effective defense but he'd be able to dodge a God-Blast.

Its bullshit how Marvel treats their Gods. A main Olympian God below a Demigod like Hercules? Bullshit Marvel.

Outside of the core three brothers (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon) and Hera Ares was probably the most powerful Olympian in original myth.

To be fair, Ares planned for Diana to kill him.

The attack still can kill him though. I don't see this attack doing much if anything to someone like Odin.

If Odin wanted to die, I don't see why not.

So if Odin wants to die can make it happen simply by his desire when being attacked?

If he's being striked in a otherwise fatal manner with weapons that are more likely than not, enchanted (as it was stated in the previous volume of WW only said enchanted weapons could even harm Ares as he is the God of War), sure. Ares being killed by Diana with a enchanted axe when he prepped for and counted for said instance isn't a low showing for him.
