Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
As the Summer Solstice looms, he and the others gods await Percy Jackson as the he son of Poseidon returns the Master Bolt.

Abilities
- Prowess in Battle: As the God of War, Ares is an extremely fierce warrior, as well as a master of both armed and unarmed combat. He fought successfully in the First Gigantomachy, helping Hephaestus and Hercules defeat the mighty Giant Mimas.
- Battle Precognition: Ares seems to have a sixth sense regarding the trajectory of assaults in the heat of combat.
- Immense Strength: As the God of War, Ares possesses colossal physical strength.
- Warfare Expertise: As the God of War, Ares is an expert in all areas of warfare.
- War Manipulation: As the God of War, Ares has the power to manipulate war, strife, combat, and other forms of conflict - all to a highly advanced level. Through this power, he is able to influence all forms of conflict, including mental, physical, spiritual, and conceptual ones, regardless of the area and numbers involved, and he could even control how they progress and draw power both from the conflict alone as well as the dying. Ares could also start conflicts by influencing people or events, raise personal and fanatical armies, control and create weapons of every kind and even grant others extensive abilities of combat (such as Hippolyta's golden girdle). Ares is naturally, extremely skilled in all forms of fighting, weapons and both strategy and tactics as well as statistics of war. Ares has the incredible power to invoke war and chaos within an enormously large radius, ranging from a city to an entire continent. With this power, he has full control of the city or continent that is in war and chaos at the time.
- Telumkinesis: As the God of War, Ares has a great amount of control over weapons.
- Odikinesis: Ares has control over feelings and emotions of war (such as hate and rage), and frequently induces them in order to start fights.
- Necromancy (limited): As revealed by Clarisse and subsequently proven in The Sea of Monsters, the spirits on the losing side of every war owe a tribute to Ares - he presented her with a ship full of perfectly obedient Confederate skeleton warriors.
