| “ | I was many things in my long life... But clearly, I was the worst god that mankind could ever have. I didn't know how to use my power, and although I've killed many who deserved it, I've also killed many who didn't. No wonder my followers abandoned me completely. My daughter, you were always more knowledgeable than your old father here. You could have followed the prophecy and killed me but you decided to forgive me and became my right arm. I'm sure you'll take care of Olympus much better than I ever did. |

| ~ Zeus to Athena. |
Zeus is the National God of the Greek pantheon, known as Jupiter to the Romans. He is the son of the titan god Cronos, the god of time, and the goddess of motherhood, Rhea, being the youngest and most powerful child of his parents. He is also the father of the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and the supreme ruler of the Greek-Roman pantheon.
Backstory[]
After the mighty Cronos defeated his father Uranus, Cronos then became the new ruling god of the region where he was worshipped, the Mount Olympus. As the new god of Olympus, Cronos ended up founding the pantheon that would currently be known as the Greek pantheon. The Titan of time decided to marry his sister Rhea, the goddess of motherhood, but due to a prophecy by the goddess Gaia that Cronus would be dethroned by one of her children, the Titan of Time, afraid of the prophecy to be fulfilled, began to devour his sons and daughters to avoid his fate. However, Rhea, being the goddess of motherhood, didn't like Cronus' attitudes, so when her last child, Zeus, was born, she hid him so she wouldn't be devoured by Cronos.
After Zeus grew up, he hatched a plan to get his older brothers out of the mad Titan, and with that, he and his siblings managed to defeat Cronus and most of the Titans, with the exception of those who sided with Zeus. After that, Zeus imprisoned his father in the center of the Earth, a place known as the Underworld or Tartarus. With his father defeated, Zeus married the goddess Metis and became the new ruler of Olympus, the new God of the Sky.
But, Gaia told another prophecy, this time to Zeus, that just as Cronos usurped Uranus and Zeus usurped Kronos, the son of Zeus and Metis would do the same to Zeus. And the God of the Sky, afraid of the prophecy and knowing that Metis was already pregnant, tricked her and asked his wife to become a fly, and when she did, Zeus took advantage and swallowed her. But to Zeus's surprise, Metis' pregnancy continued and, when he least expected it, the goddess Athena popped out of Zeus' head, coming to be known as the Goddess of Wisdom, not only for her knowledge and intelligence, but also because she was born from her father's head.
After Athena was born, she quickly became her father's favorite daughter for her great wisdom and knowledge. Zeus ended up marrying again, this time with his sister Hera, having several other children with her. After that, that's when Gaia had Thypon, the personification of natural disasters, who was sealed by thousands of seals by Zeus and released into the Etna volcano. Finally, when Olympus seemed to be at peace, that's when the Great Flood occurred, destroying almost all of human civilization, with few humans surviving the Earth's destruction. However, unlike the other gods, the gods of Olympus did not have a dimension to hide from the great flood, forcing Zeus and his siblings (with the exception of Poseidon) to hide in the Underworld, where Hades was.
After the storm passed, like the other gods, Zeus weakened by the decrease in his worship, but it was still possible he still had enough power to be the god of the sky and lightning. Due to the fact that Zeus was a tyrant, many humans believed he was responsible for the flood. Thousands of years after the Flood, after the rise of Christianity across the Earth, Zeus tired of ruling Olympus and saw that it was time to retire. He then handed over the rule of Mount Olympus to his daughter, Athena, and went on to live on Earth as a human with his wife Hera.
During 2016, Zeus was seen talking to Archangel Michael, the two were in a coffee shop in a city in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, where Michael wanted to know with Zeus if he knew of Lucifer's whereabouts, who hadn't appeared in years. Zeus mentioned to Michael that he didn't know anything about the supernatural world since he started living as a mortal, Michael understood the situation and withdrew from the scene after paying for their coffee.
Appearance[]
Zeus in the past appeared quite like an old man, with a white beard and hair, usually wearing a white tunic. During the 21st century, Zeus appeared as a middle-aged man with a beard and white hair, wearing a full butler's suit, including a white tie. He was also seen wearing gloves on his hands. During his conversation with the angel Michael in Canada, he was seen wearing winter clothes due to the fact that it was the winter season.
Personality[]
Zeus is known to be a very arrogant, ignorant and selfish deity, in addition to being seen as a maniac and a kind of sociopath, manipulative, liar, incessant and a true monster in his ability to kill people. An example of this was the fact that upon learning of the prophecy that he would be dethroned by his son and that his wife Metis was already pregnant, his decision was to try his own wife and son, just as his father Cronos tried to do. The situation involving Metis only got worse when, after devouring his own wife and betraying her trust, Metis continued to love Zeus while he went looking for another wife.
Zeus also destroyed civilizations in the past and killed many people for anything he considered an offense or blasphemy against him. Zeus was also famous for being extremely unfaithful to his wife, who was the goddess of fidelity and marriage, and Zeus knew that Hera would never betray him because it was practically impossible, which made the father of Olympus take advantage of it to betray Hera at ease, knowing she wouldn't betray him. However, Zeus also showed a benevolent side, as when Typhon attacked Mount Olympus, Zeus decided to sacrifice himself to battle the terrible god of catastrophes while the others fled, determined to lose his life to protect his family. He has also shown that he cares a lot for his daughter, Athena, making her his favorite daughter and his right-hand man. Such was Zeus' pride in Athena that after the spread of Christianity in the beginning was Christian era, Zeus left Athena to rule Olympus.
After losing his followers with the rise of Christianity and practically being abandoned by his followers who were already very few since the flood, Zeus finally began to reflect on his actions and realized that in reality, he was never a good god, and that he probably Athena would do a much better job than hers. Zeus then went to live on Earth with his wife Hera, wanting to compensate her for all the selfish treatment of the goddess. However, Hades mentions that Zeus has remained the same forever, and says that remorse doesn't make up for anything he's done. Poseidon also believes that Zeus has changed almost nothing from the past, although he admits that he is kinder and nicer to others.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Deity Physiology: Zeus is a deity, that is, a god. The gods who founded their pantheons were originally humans who, upon receiving a great deal of faith and worship, ascended and became pagan deities, high-level spiritual beings who can rival even the Angels of Heaven. Zeus didn't need that to be a goddess, he was born a deity, being the son of the gods Cronos and Rhea, but not personifying anything in particular, being more like a "human with super powers". However, after he began to be worshiped as a sky god by the first human civilizations, Zeus became the personification of the sky.
- Master Bolt: Zeus can summon a powerful lightning bolt, the result of an electrostatic discharge into the atmosphere produced by a large electrical potential difference between pieces of matter. With this ability, Zeus was able to defeat the Titan of Time, Cronos, and seal the mighty Typhon.
