Film. Russell Crowe portrays Zeus in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). This version is a hedonistic and self-centered individual who is the leader of a corrupt Council of Godheads in Omnipotent City, which presides over the other pantheons.
Marvel's Zeus made his debut in VENUS (1948) #5, and he has since gone on to play a large role as both an ally to heroes, and occasional adversary to both Thor and Hercules. To bring you up to speed on Zeus and the Olympians, take a look back at several of their key moments in the Marvel Universe.
The Olympians of the Marvel Universe, even those called by their Roman names, are based on the Gods of Greek Mythology. The Romans imported the worship of these Greek Gods around 500 BC - before that, the Romans adhered to more vague deities, to which they referred as Numina, or "the Powers".
In the comics, Zeus was depicted as a mentor to a young Thor. Out of the respect and friendship between Zeus and Thor's father, Odin, the two shared a deep friendship. Once Odin died, Zeus acted as a father figure and advisor.
So while Zeus' best feat is defeating a mountain-sized monster, Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. Zeus simply can't compete. The winner is Odin, All-Father of the Æsir.
Unfortunately for the Mad Titan, this ability isn't inherent to his nature as it is for the Greek gods, and could be revoked if Zeus pulled the right supernatural strings. Armed with the Infinity Gauntlet, the fight is Thanos', but otherwise Zeus is the more powerful being.
Thor wanted Zeus and the other gods to help him fight Gorr the Godbutcher (Christian Bale), who—as you can perhaps guess from his name—poses a threat to all the gods. Zeus is uninterested in helping. Thor then kills Zeus using Zeus' own thunderbolt, which (frankly) feels like a bit of an overreaction.
The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability. For comparison, both Thor and Hercules' durability and raw power pale in comparison to the likes of Zeus - a low-key but crucial Thor: Love and Thunder spoiler for any future outings of the Olympians.
Zeus was happy to let gods from other Pantheons be killed by Gorr (and probably his own one as well) as long as he survived. In other words Zeus was selfish and probably a coward to some degree. I therefore don't see him putting his life on the line to stop Thanos, even if he knew about the potential…
The One Above All is the supreme being within the Multiverse, described as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. It is above all cosmic powers and abstract entities, even the Living Tribunal.
He is the true Monotheistic Supreme God of the Marvel Omniverse and the sole master of the cosmic overseer; The Living Tribunal. The-One-Above-All is the supreme creator of all existence in the Marvel omniverse and is considered to be the most powerful character in Marvel.
He punches Hulk so hard that he can't stop vomiting, as the Olympian shatters his rib cage and causes his lungs to collapse. Zeus ends up knocking out the Hulk and leaving him in rough shape, chaining him up to be picked on by giants vultures after his defeat.
Nyx and her children attacked Olympus and slaughtered all the gods present, including Zeus, whose mind Nyx probed before killing him for the whereabouts of the source of her power, the Night Shards. Nyx was ultimately defeated following the efforts of a ragtag team of heroes assembled by Voyager that included Hercules.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
Hercules is stronger than Savage Hulk and he should in reality be able to knock him out before Hulk can reach thresholds high enough in strength to beat him. Hercules is also a better fighter than Hulk due to his experience having lived as long as he have being the son of Zeus.
Who would win in an MCU fight: Odin or Thanos? Without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos stands little chance against Prime Odin. Odin is stated to be able to shatter the Earth.
Odin has pretty clearly been shown to be demonstrable more powerful than the other gods. Odin's Odinforce has far outstripped anything Zeus's magical lightning bolts have ever done.
Zeus is a sky-father and is the equal of Odin, Thor's own father. And Odin would beat the jeebus out of Thor in a heartbeat. So naturally, Zeus would win the battle.
Biography. Zeus is the king of Olympus. He refused to help Thor by giving the army of gods after hearing Gorr was slaughtering the low-ranking gods. As Thor defied him, Zeus sends his guards to kill Thor and his allies, however Thor got his lightning bolt and threw it at him, presumably killing him.
Odin stands a good chance at defeating a moderately-fed Galactus. Odin has been stated to be equal to a moderately-fed Galactus. Though Galan did withstand a powerful headbutt from Odin. The Devourer had just consumed one planet before that.
What were Zeus and other gods doing when Thanos snapped half of the universe? A short answer would be: They didn't care. Zeus and the other Gods simply sat and enjoyed when Thanos snapped half of the Universe. Thor: Love and Thunder showed us the true colors of most of the Gods in the MCU.
