Previous Post Who was being discussed not Herc.

Ah, my bad. I do think that Ares is a little weaker than he should be though. As the god of war whose chief power is really just strength and whose main activity is being an enemy of Hercules, you'd think he'd be a little closer in strength. I really don't even think he's up to Thing level on most days. I would personally like to have him portrayed with some additional yet subtle godly abilities, much as how Thor has weather powers even without the hammer.

As for comparing the two, I suppose you could say that Ares is the son of a skyfather and another Olympian whereas Thor has a skyfather and elder god as parents, so it makes sense that Thor would be more powerful if you are equating pantheons.
