Ares is based upon the Greek mythological figure of the same name. He is the God of War and a major adversary of Wonder Woman. The comic book incarnation of Ares first appeared in Wonder Woman, Vol. 1, Issue #1 (Summer 1942). In the next issue, he reappeared under his Roman name, Mars and would retain this name until February 1987, when comics writer/artist George Pérez restored the Greek name Ares as part of his reboot of the Wonder Woman mythos.
