Not long after the [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]] ended, Tony Stark realized that the world needed an Avengers team once more. Citing the need for a "[[Thor]]/[[Wolverine]]", basically a god-level being willing to kill, Stark pressed team leader [[Ms. Marvel]] into offering Ares a spot on the new Mighty Avengers. When [[Iron Man]] and Ms. Marvel visit Ares at a construction site, effectively blowing his cover, the God of War has no choice but to accept, though he makes Tony match his construction pay ($44/hour, apparently). As a member of the Mighty Avengers, Ares fulfills the role of [[The Big Guy]] along with [[The Sentry]].
 
Not to be confused with [[Ares (DC Comics)|the DC Comics character of the same name]], the [[Ares (manhwa)|manhwa of the same name]], or the [[Classical Mythology|Greek god]] that named all of them and many other characters and works named [[Ares]].
