Past[]
Zeus was born the son of Cronus and Rhea in Mount Olympus, and was the eldest brother of Poseidon and Hades
Cronus was very abusive father and once ate all of his children (except for Zeus), he eventually tricked his father, to throw up his brother's and sisters.
At some point, he rebelled and got into a violent fight against his father Cronus and defeated him, making Zeus the King of Mount Olympus, after that he made his brother Poseidon the god of sea, and his other brother Hades the king of the Underworld, which began Hades hatred for his brother.
Many eons ago, Zeus imprisoned the deadly Titans, who threatened to destroy the world, deep beneath the ocean where they would remain for the rest of eternity undisturbed. However he was unaware that the next planetary alignment would reveal the location of the Titans prison.
Powers[]
- Lightning Bolt: His main ability is the power to summon lightning and hurl them similarly to spears. He could also possibly use it like a sword.
- Superhuman Strength: Being a god, he possesses immense strength, only rivaled by the likes of his son, Hercules.
- Superhuman Speed: He also possesses blurring speed, again because of being a god.
- Creation: Via mixing and matching various types of cloud on mount olympus, he can create life such as with Pegasus.
- Immortality: He, like all gods, has immortality (the inability to die). This means he cannot die of age or be killed, the only means of subduing him is to capture him.
Personality[]
Zeus is the jolly, stubborn type. He is married to Hera, who in the real myth, hates Hercules, also known as Hercules. He is extremely angry when Hercules gets stolen by Pain and Panic, Hades's imps.
