The guy is a demi God, he had super Strength, magical abilities, pre-cognitive powers and near limitless Endurance has the power to do things that make the Scarecrow and others look like a bunch softies. The god slayer Mikaboshi hits Olympus and Phobos falls. Bendis then retcons him, like he retcons lots of things. Some fans thought he flushed about 20 years of Phobos down the toilet and the villain is just a little boy...but maybe not. The Mikaboshi stuff seems to be still canon
Phobos
Character » Phobos appears in 93 issues.
Child of Ares and an unknown mortal woman, Alexander was a mortal boy whose godhood awoke from drinking the blood of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. He joined Nick Fury's Secret Warriors with the codename Phobos and became the new God of Fear. Later, he died at the hands of the Gorgon.
Will this dude be the new super "heavy" in Marvelverse?
i think he's going to be a big part of Siege. im of the idea that he's going to see what happened
and go after Sentry regardless of his orders not to. being that Sentry has shown his biggest weakness
to be his own fears, might not be a good day for him.
Yeah, should be really cool and the character itself is cool. Marvel is really setting up their "teen" heroes up for the future to play out really cool. It is something DC has always done better with Teen Titans and those secondary characters that are younger which allow them to grow into something great. The thing is, along with DC, will there be enough room to have these characters take important parts in their own books or team books, leaving out characters like Hawkeye, Captain America and Wolverines?
At what point do the Young Avengers become "THE" Avengers?
" At what point do the Young Avengers become "THE" Avengers? "hopefully not as long as it takes Franklin Richards to hit puberty
Son of Ares, trained by Nick Fury himself, heck his granddad is Zeus. He's gonna kick some major ass during Seige I believe.

I think little Phobos has the power to do it
Isnt Herc going to die soon? I saw something about a mini coming out about that. Maybe Phobos will do it?
Phobos needs to step it up and end this
I'm sick of the Sentry's excuses, the devil (Void) made me do it
" @DEGRAAF: Can you be god of two things? And we all know Ares isn't going to stay dead, just like Zeus or any of the gods. Although the Assault on New Olympus might be changing that tune. "
idk but i think if the father dies the son should be able to tkae his place like odin and thor
" @DEGRAAF: Can you be god of two things? "Why wouldn't you be able to? Many gods have/had several different (and not necessarily connected) areas of godhood (if that's the proper word for it).
Examples: Athena - goddess of wisdom, weaving and strategic warfare; Thoth - god of wisdom and the moon; Artemis - goddess of hunting and the moon; Apollo - god of music, poetry and light/the sun; Horus - god of the skies, the sun and warfare. And that's just mentioning a few.
I was thinking the same thing but @Nova`Prime` said:
i agree with you tho. I dont see why he couldnt be both" @DEGRAAF: Can you be god of two things? And we all know Ares isn't going to stay dead, just like Zeus or any of the gods. Although the Assault on New Olympus might be changing that tune. "

@DEGRAAF said:" i think he should take his father place as the god of war as well as the god of fear "That would make a good story "
i thought so too. They can put him thru training and trials and he can learn what it means to become a god and everything else. and once he's passed his trials he could be granted full power of the god of War as well as the god of fear. That would be one god that i dont think anyone would want to mess with. They could also make him a full god after the trials
Holy shit dude, good job predicting the Fear Itself storyline."and with his father getting ripped in half
I think Bendis has long term plans for the kid, this guy will be as ruthless as Damien Omen 666.
Anyone think he's gonna be a big event like the Richard Donner movies and scare the hell out of the Marvelverse post Siege?
obviously they'd be horrible if they ignore the entire current backstory on this character, but as of now i've seen nothing to tie it together...
