appearance

Zeus is a tall and buff man with orange skin, long white hair that goes past his shoulders, and a triangular beard. He wears a one-shoulder purple chiton that goes down to his feet and has blue lightning bolt hems. He does not wear any shoes or sandals, and his chiton is held by a round gold pin that displays a thundercloud on it.

personality

As mighty ruler of the gods, Zeus controls the Grecian universe and presides over Mount Olympus. Zeus prefers to keep things easygoing and is often seen with a large smile and making witty remarks on things. He also has a tendency to be quite stubborn, and at times even childish when faced with a task he would rather not perform. Zeus' antics are often reigned in by his wife Hera, to whom he immediately relents. Aside from this, Zeus is a worthy ruler, wise, and extremely fierce when necessary. This quality makes him a respected king with a combination of fun but maturity when needed. He's protective of Hercules as seen throughout the series. Despite his joviality, Zeus, unfortunately, created his own worst enemy in his brother Hades. Zeus often makes fun of his brother and belittles him with jokes. While Zeus' behavior is intended as playful at most, it has nonetheless inspired a great deal of contempt within the God of the Underworld and is in no short part of what motivates his efforts to take over Olympus. Zeus does seem to be aware of Hades' attempted overthrows but apparently seems to forgive, or downright forget them relatively quickly.

background

Zeus is the son of the Titan King Kronos. Based on an offhand remark by Zeus, Kronos feared Zeus might one day overthrow him so he tried to eat him. Following mythology, his mother hid him away until Zeus was old enough to challenge his father and banish him. Many eons ago (prior to Hercules’ birth), Zeus imprisoned the deadly Titans, who threatened to destroy the world, deep beneath the ocean where they would remain for the rest of eternity undisturbed. However, he was unaware that the next planetary alignment would reveal the location of the Titans' prison, and his brother Hades planned to free them by the next alignment so he could use them to help him overthrow Zeus and take over Mount Olympus.

powers

As an Olympian God, Zeus possesses the natural powers and abilities of an Olympian God such as omnipotence, immortality, omnipresence, omniscience, superhuman strength, metamorphosis, and teleportation. He also displays a wide range of magical abilities, such as life-giving to objects or giving supernatural powers to those who don't possess it. As the god of the Sky, Zeus rules the sky, thus he has control over the weather and is responsible for creating storms. His control over storms is notably prominent whenever he loses his temper, where he instinctively summons thunder and lightning when angered.
