Who is Marvel's Ares? The Immortal Warmonger

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Marvel Comics character "Ares." From being the son of the chief Olympian god Zeus and Hera, recognition as the "god of war" by the ancient Greeks and Romans who also called him Mars, having peak level strength and fighting ability even when compared to other superhumanly powerful Olympian gods, rebelling against the rule of his father several times with the help of his uncle Hades, having a long-standing emnity with his half-brother Hercules who regularly interfered with his conquests, regularly allying with superheroes like Thor and Iron Man of the Avengers despite having a penchant for savagery, joining the New Avengers and Dark Avengers after his son Alexander aka Phobos was rescued from Amatsu-Mikaboshi aka Chaos King, being brutally taken out during the Siege on Asgard by The Sentry / Void, resurrection from the Elysian Fields to be a combatant for The Collector during the Contest of Champions, to returning to Earth and becoming a member of the Champions of Europe; Let's take a look at this ancient Olympian Marvel anti-hero, and arguably the best warrior in the Marvel Universe. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

1st..just wanna say man, you taking the time to actually reply to fans is really appreciated🙏🏾..I peep the new intro too👀, but ares is one powerful character...but have a good one man🤙🏾

[@NewSage]

🥇🎉🎊 1st to the party, Ford Tough! You're on it today, bro! 😁👊🏽 I reply to as many comments as possible, because most seem like good folks. 😎 And yeah. That's the new "monthly pick" intro. 🎶 Have a good one! 👍🏽

[@Smoove91321]

@@NewSage hey you ever think of doing video of Silver Sable and Psylocke

[@evillink1]

Always thought of Ares as a mishmash between Thor, Wolverine, and Punisher, but with a sense of humor. He wears sunglasses indoors, he drinks canned bear while shooting a Gatling gun, he rides a nuke while holding an ax, he gives a speech in front of an American flag about how insane he is, etc. He just goes along with the absurdity. Really awesome character.

[@thatbadmuthafucka2626]

I'm glad they brought Ares back. There are many different storylines they could use him in.

[@lindanemnguni1621]

They should choose the rock as Ares his body fits him

"Immortal". Sentry begs to differ.

Ares? That's my man right there! I loved when he was on the Avengers. They need to need to bring him back! Can you imagine an Avengers squad w/Thor, Hyperion, & Blue Marvel along w/Ares? What?!!! P.S. that new into was #Dopeness

[@edwardsarhuda2595]

Plus sentry too😏😏

[@petergibney8412]

Yeah, But Iron Man once said you never go double god while building a superhero team, so the odds of marvel doing that are slim to none.

Now that’s an awesome new intro

[@NewSage]

Thanks bro! 😁 This will be the "monthly pick" intro from this point forward. 😎🎶👍🏽

[@MaverickX578]

[@NewSage]

@@MaverickX578 😅👍🏽 Duly noted, bro! I won't forget you. 😎👊🏽

[@MaverickX578]

New Sage ok

[@MichaelKekara]

The God of war!!! Excellent video sage I've always loved how marvel uses real world mythologies to incorporate into their stories I'm digging the new intro btw 👍

[@NewSage]

Thanks a lot, bro! 😎👍🏽 Marvel did put a nice spin on their version! And that remix will be the intro for the new "monthly picks" characters. 🎶 Glad you like it! 😁

[@JR-ju3kj]

Yeah,I love how Marvel uses real world mythologies to incorporate into their stories,as well! One of the few issues I have with it is that when companies like Marvel,DC and Disney use characters from mythology,folklore and legend,people can tend to forget or ACT like they forget that these characters are in fact,in the public domain and that anyone can use them however they want to! I've actually heard people claim that Marvel CREATED and OWNS Thor! Which obviously,couldn't be further from the truth. Marvel created and owns their own specific version of Thor(just like they do Hercules and any other character from myth,legend and folklore)but the Norse myths and legends were around before America was discovered,never mind before the medium of comic books even existed.Marvel doesn't own the mythological Thor and they sure as hell didn't create him. That's why when I write my comics on Thor and Hercules,I'm not even going to call them that and neither Thor or Hercules will be on the covers of my graphic novels-as to avoid confusion and comparison with the Marvel versions. I love the Marvel versions of these mythological characters but I think that a lot of people who are writers and artists are also afraid to use the characters because of the popular interpretations of the characters by companies like Disney,Marvel and DC. No matter what you do with the characters,inevitably your work will be compared to Marvel's version of the characters.So I see that as one of the few downsides of Marvel using these characters.

[@Dynamode8]

Odd thing is, Marvel's Ares has always been inconsistent yet he's almost everywhere too lol. Nice new intro btw.

[@leonardoromerocalvo5852]

Ares is my favorite God in the Marvel universe, I mean I like Thor obviously, but I'm also a fan of Ares

[@irtijanuhash2447]

Love the new intro and thanks for doing a video on Ares. He's one of my favourite characters from marvel comics.

[@kratoscraken5614]

Ares is another favorite of mine and this is the best representation of him and I agree, the fact that you take time to reply to your fans says alot about your character. Good job 👍💪

[@kingsupreme3146]

[@vaszka44]

Always on spot! i really like Ares. thanks man!

[@dannytarver4533]

That was so cool!! I got into Mythology, all kinds in elementary school libraries so I knew about them before comics. Beautiful stories man,but Marvel always gotta one up someone and have Ares running around with an m-16 w/grenade launchers in both hands! So glad he got resurrected. Great as always Sage,the coolest tuber out there 😎

[@NewSage]

Glad you liked it, bro! 😁 And know that I appreciate you! 😎👊🏽

[@JR-ju3kj]

I always loved mythology,too! I loved reading about mythology from the libraries in elementary school,middle school and high school and I'm a life-long comic book fan so I loved reading about mythological characters in comics,too! I'm even going to be writing my own comics in the future and I'm going to be writing graphic novels on Hercules and Thor(but the comics won't be called that and they won't be on the covers of the comics because I want to avoid confusion and comparisons to all of the other versions of Hercules and Thor that are out there and I definitely don't want my versions of them to be confused with the Marvel versions of the characters). Ares will be in the comic I'm doing on Hercules but my version of Ares will be a mix between how Ares looks in the DC Universe and to how an artist on Deviantart.com portrayed him as this really tall,hulking,monstrous armored,heavily armed warrior. One of the great things about these mythological characters is that they're all in the public domain and people are free to use them however they see fit! Of course,people just have to make sure that their versions of the characters don't look like copyrighted,trademarked specific versions of the characters.So my version of Thor won't have blonde hair and my version of Hercules won't look anything like the Marvel version(but he will still be based on the Steve Reeves Hercules movie like the Marvel version was). Great video by New Sage! I enjoy watching his channel!

Ares should be the greatest warrior in marvel an should be undefeated but marvel does a horrible job with all Olympians smh. Also 70 tons lift? Should be in the 100 tons class like all the heavy hitters in marvel

[@NewSage]

I agree that he should be considered the greatest warrior, period... If nothing else! 😎💪🏽

[@lasombradelaluz8802]

I agree as well! This is Ares after all. His abilities dwarfs some of the other Olympians with the exception of his father Zeus and half brother Hercules, whose super strength is greater than his.

[@joshuagumpert8910]

His weapon skills at 70 tons of power makes up for lack of strength.
