Like all Olympian, Ares is immortal, possessing
a life essence that cannot be ended by any conventional
means. He can be wounded in battle, but his godly life
force gives him incredible recuperative abilities. He
can fully recover from penetration wounds (such as by
knife, sword, or bullet) in anywhere from minutes to hours,
depending on their severity. Only an injury of such magnitude
that it incinerates him or disperses a major portion of
his bodily molecules could cause him physical death. Even
then, his life essence may still be unharmed, and his father Zeus
may be able to resurrect him.
As with many gods, he can hear the calls of his worshippers, or those
who worship the principle he embodies, allowing him to telepathically
sense all outbreaks of war and violence around the globe. Ares
also has other godly powers that he rarely uses. Among these are the
ability to transport himself to and from Olympus and Earth and walk
among the mortals undetected -- in this state, he can only be seen,
heard or touched while interacting with other gods. Ares
has also demonstrated the power to possess mortal beings, entering
their bodies and taking over their actions as his own. Naturally, Ares
is a master of combat, both unarmed and in the use of all forms of
weaponry. Part of this is his immortal experience, but as the God of War, he can magically draw upon any knowledge of
warfare he desires instantaneously. He has made frequent use of axes,
swords, and javelins, but in recent times has also begun making use of
modern tools such as assault weapons and grenades. Originally, Ares' skill was limited to the use of all implements of war used in the time of ancient Greece and Rome. such as javelins, swords, axes, and flails. Over the years, he has come to master all forms of weaponry, modern and ancient.
