Character Intro: Hephaestus (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Unseen Prince, The Iron King by the people of Olympius

Tink by Arges, Brontes, and Steropes

My Gentle Boy by Eurynome

Master of the Forge by Hermes

Age- 17 (immortal)

Location- Lemnos, Olympius

Personality- Hephaestus is very quiet, intuitive, and introverted. He's very insecure about his looks. He's also ingenious, creative, and intelligent- striving for perfectionism. He has a very small social group filled with people that he wholeheartedly trusts. He doesn't have much of a social life and prefers it that way, instead opting to spend his time working.

Aside from a few people, no one really knows what he looks like. It's said that he has heterochromia- one eye is dark brown with the other being blue-green. He's had both his legs & an arm amputated as a child (due to his extreme physical injuries). He now has various cybernetic prosthetics (which he designed and made himself) that he wears most of the time.

Hephaestus was raised by his adoptive mother Eurynome (an oceanid nymph). He didn't find out he was adopted till he was about 13. It didn't change the way he saw or felt about her. His anger grew however when he found out the circumstances surrounding his birth (being thrown off a mountain, or so he was told...) and the identity of his biological parents- Zeus and Hera (under the shapeshift disguise as an old sailing couple he was helping out). Hephaestus ran away from Lemnos, where he was taken under the wing of the three cyclopes- Brontes, Arges, and Steropes, that are famous blacksmiths. To soften the blow, Zeus offered a down payment to jump start his businesses and after some convincing from his mom, Hephaestus accepted.

There's only one other woman (aside from his mother) that he trusts wholeheartedly- his best friend and assistant Techne (goddess of arts, crafts, & invention). He doesn't mind her offbeat and quirky nature. Hephaestus is also friendly with another associate of his, the goddess Aetna. She's the inspiration of the virtual assistant they've developed! Hephaestus is currently mentoring a young deity, Cedalion (god of smithing ore).

He's the second most busiest god in the Pantheon (after Hermes). Hephaestus owns several businesses- he oversees all the construction projects in the country, he's one of the first to heavily employ cyclopes & giants into the workforce, he has a chain of hardware stores, auto repair shops, tech repair shops, auto factories, architecture, and Hephaestus is the owner of Olympius' biggest tech corporation (iCHOR Tech)- computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other electronic appliances and tools as well as a construction company (Vulcan & Co). He even has a chain of automaton toy shops. He's currently working on designs for prosthetic tails for mermaids and other water dwelling nymphs and a cybernetic eye for cyclopes who lost their eye (through disease or injury). He also has his own amusement park‐ Ember Kingdom.

Hephaestus is also responsible for crafting many of the things the gods use- he commissioned the statue of Zeus at the Lightning Harbor, he made Hermes' winged sneakers, the bows and arrows of Apollo & Artemis as well as Athena's chariot.

He doesn't have much of a relationship with the other gods in the pantheon (especially his biological parents). Hephaestus does like Hestia, having met her briefly twice. He ate up the berry mix baklava she brought him. Hephaestus does hold the Titan goddess of fire Anchiale in high regard, having met her at his induction ceremony.

He doesn't drink alcohol, but he does indulge in cigarettes, cigars, and weed. His go-to drink is iced tea.

As for romantic relationships, Hephaestus had his first kiss when he was 10 with a friend Cabeiro, who's a sea nymph. He was her date to the prom and they are still friends to this day. He's only seriously been in love once- with a mortal girl named Anticleia. She was a student at Athenium Academy and their first date was a moonlight walk through Eaglepoint Park. After two years together, Hephaestus was about to propose (with a pearl and diamond ring he made himself), but was heartbroken when he discovered that her and her family had quickly moved out of New Olympus.

To have the utmost seclusion and privacy, his main abode is inside one of the most infamous volcanoes, Mt. Etna (located on the island of Sicilios). He owns a pet dragon, a boy named Flameclaw. He also has many dogs as pets too- like bulldogs, bull terriers, dobermanns, bloodhounds, & siberian huskies. He even has donkeys as pets! Hephaestus also lives in an apartment in Lemnos- located deep underground.

He loves getting the extra hot buffalo wings with biscuits from Olympic Chef when he's in the mood for fast food.

Being the god of forge, volcanoes, blacksmiths, and fire, Hephaestus has many abilities including pyrokinesis. He can breathe and exhale fire (his fire burns a bright red and he can even get it to burn a glowing white). He can also heal others through fire. He healed many of the elderly citizens in Lemnos using this skill. His other abilities include technokinesis (manipulating technology & metal), shapeshifting into/communicating with his sacred animals, magnetism, thermal vision, ferrokinesis, and he has divine control over volcanoes, lava, & magma.

In his free time, Hephaestus really enjoys the time he spends with adoptive mother Eurynome. They spend the day swimming, scouring the nearby coves for seashells & they eat their favorite meal- broiled oysters and clams. He also enjoys being in his workshop- working on his inventions, working out, playing video games, and reading. Despite his proclivities towards lava, he has not experienced lava surfing. He has also taken on pottery & glass blowing.

Wonder Woman Reviews: Historia: The Amazons #3

By Kelly Sue DeConnick (writer), Nicola Scott (artist), Clayton Cowles (letterer), Annette Kwok (colorist).

---

Incredible.

It's very fitting this book had a tribute to the tragically late-George Perez in the previous issue because now having read the concluding part of this story, it's the same kind of mythic reinterpretation of Wonder Woman's world that Perez's 80s reboot of the character was. Something DC often tries to poorly with the character, or when they don't just shoe-horn the character back into bog-standard superhero tropes.

While this isn't really a story about Wonder Woman herself, DeConnick definitely joins the great tier of Wonder Woman creators for a variety of reasons but probably first and foremost being her depiction of Hippolyta here.

As I've said in previous reviews, Hippolyta isn't a character many writers try to go deep on outside of a select few (Perez, Jimenez, Simone to name some), and even then it's rarer to see a story about her that isn't ultimately about her relationship with Diana. But other than she's almost always just "Wonder Woman's Mom" and the imposing Queen of the Amazons.

So while this story has retreaded some similar ground before, it's quite refreshing to have a story where Hippolyta is largely the central focus and allowed to stand as a character on her own. And that includes having her questionable decisions that we and in-universe characters are given reasons to doubt, as we see at the end of book. And unlike previous times this has been done, it comes off as a questionable decision that character actually would make and not just character assassination like making her bang Zeus.

Another bit of praise DeConnick deserves praise in this series for is her handling the pantheon. Unlike previous depictions of them in DC's comics, these depictions of the pantheon don't sway to hard in the direction of HBO/CW rejects or the more traditional togas and robes speaking in faux-Shakespeare. They actually look and speak as if the way you'd assume deities would but have some bits of dialogue here and there that don't make them to stuffy to a modern reader.

The scene between Ares and Hera would probably be my favorite "Olympus scene" in the issue. Shows a side of the two (one of which is traditionally the Big Bad of Wonder Woman media) that we don't often see in modern depictions of the Greek pantheon. Though any scene with Artemis is also pretty great.

Much like Jimenez, Scott was a fan favorite Wonder Woman artist for many prior to this book so I was interested when I saw her name attached to this book how this stuff would compare to her prior work on the character in Rucka's run. And unsurprisingly, this was as much of a level up for her as it was for Jimenez when he did the first issue. A certain scene with Heracles was masterfully well done and it'd like be my favorite scene in the book for both her and DeConnick if it wasn't for the ending.

After 10 years, Wonder Woman's true origin finally gets the lovingly rendered modern depiction it deserves. I know this isn't the first instance DC's done the clay origin since making Diana another offspring of Zeus but it's always to nice to not only see it get used but also treated with the respect it deserves in such a high profile project. Especially as DC otherwise blows on with the Daddy Zeus origin. This is just one page but the whole sequence probably surpasses George Perez's depiction of the event back in Gods and Mortals.

I've become fairly uninterested in the direction of DC's comics as of late, especially with the direction of Wonder Woman given what they've already announced. So this makes appreciate this book all the more as just great standalone WW-verse story without being shackled to the rest of the DC Universe. I can only hope the series has done well enough so far to greenlight the sequels.
