Great issue! Bendis has a gift for telling stories from the point of view of young people like the Ultimate Peter Parker and Alexander/Phobos god of fear. Phobos as portrayed by Bendis and Deodato is a cute little kid who is confused by the politics of the situation in which he finds himself. It doesn’t help that he is afraid of his father, who doesn’t quite understand human politics, either. Ares’ portrayal as the ultimate overbearing father is just what one would expect from him. The conclusion makes some psychological sense since Ares quite naturally does not know what to teach his son about the modern human world.
One cannot help but wonder about what some of the other Olympian gods would think of Phobos’ situation. Aphrodite is Phobos’ mother, but it is understandable that she is not raising him since she is married to another god who does not think much of Ares. Perhaps Athena would want to gain custody of Phobos to further her own complicated plans. No doubt Hera would not want her grandson raised by humans. Readers of “Hercules” know that Zeus is in no position to assert his will concerning Phobos at this time. Interestingly, Ares appears to know that his father is alive again, but not his father’s condition. In any case, a lot of great stories could possibly grow out of Phobos’ situation.
