Fictional character biography


Zeus is the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, the children of sky god Ouranos and elder goddess Gaea (also known as "Mother Earth"). The infant Zeus was secretly entrusted to his grandmother Gaea for safekeeping and hidden in the Caves of Dicte on Crete's Aegean Hill.
After the Hyborian Age, the ancient Greek civilization began to rise, so Zeus made the Olympian gods known to them to gain their worship. During the war of Troy, Zeus battled Thor who had accidentally been transported there. Hades deplored Zeus' decree, and challenged Zeus' supremacy many times.
Zeus breaks up a fight between Hercules and Thor with his thunderbolt, but cannot break Hercules' contract with Pluto.
Zeus later battles Amatsu-Mikaboshi, who had kidnapped Ares' son Alexander, and is seemingly killed. During the "Dark Reign" storyline, Zeus is revealed to have survived, but been captured by Pluto. After being put on trial, Zeus willingly drinks from the River Lethe, making him lose his memory and renounce his crown to Pluto.
During the "Chaos War" storyline, Zeus, Hera, and Ares are among the dead characters that Pluto releases to help defend the underworld from Amatsu-Mikaboshi. After Hercules defeats Amatsu-Mikaboshi, he restores Zeus along with the rest of the universe.
While sleeping with another woman, Zeus was depowered by Hera because of his infidelity and womanizing. He regains his powers after helping Hercules defeat Baba Yaga, a witch who absorbs the magic of the artifacts to regain her youth.
Following the events of Avengers: No Surrender, Nyx escapes imprisonment and kills the Olympians, including Zeus.
