Background information[]
- Zeus was one of the principal gods of Greek mythology, the king of the Olympians. In DC Comics, Zeus and the other gods are worshiped by the Amazons and the Atlanteans. He is also a benefactor of Captain Marvel, and is responsible for the magic lightning whenever the name of Shazam is invoked.
- An early proposal for the Young Justice: Legacy storyline had Zeus as a key villain, with the Team attempting to prevent an ancient and powerful weapon, the Spear of Reckoning (which might have been Zeus's thunderbolt), from falling into enemy hands. While the basic concept was approved, the use of Zeus and a Grecian weapon was rejected as Zeus is a good guy in Earth-16.[1]
- This is his fifth animated appearance. He appeared in Challenge of the Super Friends, the 1970s Shazam! series (on which his appearance in Young Justice is based), the 2009 animated movie Wonder Woman, and the Shazam! shorts for DC Nation.
