* NominalHero: [[spoiler:During Lazarus Planet, Ares randomly assists humans during his daily routine incognito as they come under attack from lesser gods and monsters, then reveals his true identity when The Olympians step on the battlefield and makes his intentions to fight them known. As god of war, he doesn't feel obligated morally to pick either side in Hera's war on humanity, but Ares finds wars between humans more interesting, less destructive and thus more sustainable than wars between gods, and wants the humans to win so that humans may continue to fight among themselves. He also releases Wonder Woman from Hera's imprisonment so that she may ensure potential future wars between humans don't get too out hand.]]
