This demonstrates Zeus' great love for his firstly created race, as well as an extraordinary level of emotional intelligence and wisdom. Zeus' fearlessness, nobility, and foresight are on display when, despite Ares managing to slay every other god in the War of the Gods, Zeus faced his malevolent son in combat without hesitation and drove him back, in order to buy himself enough time to father Diana and create the protective paradise of Themyscira, so that when Ares returns, humanity will still have a godly savior capable of stopping the fearsome God of War. And indeed, Wonder Woman as a superhero seeks to uphold her late father's virtues and ideology. If the myth mentioned by Lex Luthor is true, then Zeus can be said to have a darker side, but given Wonder Woman's reaction of frustration and anger upon hearing the account, it is likely that the myth is actually inaccurate.

Ruling the Gods
Zeus ruled over Olympus and his siblings, the Olympian Gods, as the most powerful one of them, and eventually, he fathered Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Ares, among other godly and demigodly children.
Creating the Races
At some point afterwards, Zeus proceeded to create humanity, making them in the Olympian Gods' likeness, imbuing his creation with many virtues. It was also said that Zeus cruelly punished the Titan Prometheus for enlightening humankind, as Lex Luthor would recall, millennia later. However, the accuracy of said myth is unclear.
Invasion of Earth
30,000 years before the modern day, Zeus would lead a coalition of Humans, Amazons, Atlanteans, Green Lanterns and Olympus Gods against the armies of Steppenwolf. Zeus would lead the charge, one point in the battle he would blast Steppenwolf with his lightning and scattered the Mother Boxes before they could warp the Earth beyond recognition. Following this the forces of Humans, Amazons and Atlanteans would divide the three and keep them contained for thousands of years.
War of the Gods
Ares, however, still viewed humanity with envious disgust and violently rebelled, killing off the other Olympian Gods for disagreeing with his bloodthirst and extremism. Ultimately Zeus faced his son in combat and was able to defeat him, driving Ares off Olympus, but was mortally wounded in the process. Before Zeus succumbed to his mortal wounds, Zeus fathered Diana (as a contingency weapon that could one day save humanity by defeating Ares) by Hippolyta, and created the protected island paradise Themyscira for the Amazons to live, hidden from the God of War. After all of this, the King of the Gods passed away.
Abilities
- Olympian God Physiology : As an Olympian God, and the King of the Gods, Zeus is a phenomenally powerful divine being, being the most powerful Olympian God of all. Indeed, Ares was only able to face Zeus in combat when greatly enhanced by the violence of the War of the Gods, and yet was still ultimately forced into retreat, with grievous wounds.
- Immortality : Zeus, due to him being an Olympian God, has lived for millennia without visibly aging, with him far predating humanity and the Amazons, having created both of these races.
- Super Strength : Zeus had a tremendous level of physical strength, to the point that he was able to defeat and drive off a violence-enhanced Ares during the War of the Gods.
- Life Creation : Zeus is known to have created both the human and Amazon races, the latter race in order to bring peace to humanity.
- Realm Creation : Zeus, right as the War of the Gods drew to a close, created the shielded island of Themyscira, in order to guarantee the Amazons protection from the outside world and from Ares.
- Divine Electrokinesis : Zeus, as the God of Thunder, is able to generate and control divine electricity to an extreme degree.
- Invulnerability : Zeus, as an Olympian God, is immune to death by normal superficial means. However, he can be slain by other gods, given as how Ares was able to kill him.
- Flight : Zeus, as seen in Ares' War of the Gods illusion, can fly, with his final battle with Ares occurring as both gods were suspended in the air on Olympus.
- Omnilingualism : Zeus, as an Olympian God, has the ability to fluently speak, read, and understand all human languages, even currently dead ones.
- Genius-level Intellect : Zeus is extremely intelligent and divinely wise, given his tremendously long godly lifespan. Indeed, he had an unparalleled level of emotional intelligence and wisdom, demonstrated by Zeus' ability to imbue many virtues into both his human and Amazons creations.
- Expert Leader : Zeus, having been King of Olympus, and the Olympian Gods for many centuries, is an extremely skilled, wise, just, and capable leader.
- Master Combatant : Zeus is a phenomenally skilled and formidable combatant, as in the War of the Gods, he defeated Ares in their duel, grievously wounding and driving the God of War back, off of Olympus, though Ares managed to mortally wound Zeus in the process as well.
