Previous Post has Marvel Ares had any battles of note? All I remember ever reading or seeing were one to two page curb stomps against him. Even with his strength enhanced or as an anti-hero I cannot remember him having any memorable battles. IIRC, didn't Hercules watch almost bored and have a casually conversation with Thor while Thor battled the thrice-strength enhanced Ares? I think Skaar had a skirmish with Ares during the Wolverine/Romulus storyline. He did fairly well against Nate Grey, but later it was implied Nate may have let Ares win and I cannot see what stopped Nate from telekineticly throwing Ares across the city. Has he had anything impressive over the years?

Because you are on the guy as if he owe you money and a pair of jeans.

The character was used most of the time as a villain for Thor and Hercules. That means that 90% of the time - unless it was a major villain who could also attack the likes of odin - which he can`t, he would lose.

Therefore in those days there was no reason to write the character as more able to do than what he did. However in some cases, bad writting was indeed appearant, that or simply lack of commin ground between characters, one of such examples is Thor yaking on him wth his strength trippled up, without any kind of outside circumstances with it when he struggles with Ulik for daily measure.

Even since Oeming gave him new life, as an anti hero, at Marvel the character only had one major dissapointed loss and not because it was a loss on itself but because of how it went down: against WWH during the event with the same name.

There has to be other characters who have done much less for you to argue about, man. Let those jeans go.
