The only things that can truly harm him are enchanted weaponry, thus magic.  If no one is a magician (or wields a magic weapon), then they're pretty much screwed trying to take on the God of War because he'll just keep on coming.<br/><br/>The only disadvantages he has are: 1) he cannot fly, 2) he's not incredibly fast, 3) he doesn't have any astronomical powers, and 4) he's vulnerable to magic assaults.<br/><br/>You know how resilient he is? Even if he had drowned against Hydroman, he would be still alive. If someone eventually revived him, he would be back on his feet. All Ares is, is the embodiment of the ultimate warrior. His strength, durability, toughness, and fighting skills are phenomenal, but that's all he has.<br/><br/>People like to imagine Ares being stronger than he really is, but it was proven otherwise when he got so easily killed by Sentry, and I've gone on this rant before, but Sentry is a character that needs to be wiped out of Marvel. He isn't even a Marvel Superman, he is just the biggest Mary Sue in creation. -_-<br/><br/>I really do hope that they come up with something for Ares in the future because he's under-powered for being the "God of War." There are so many other Marvel characters who could easily replace him under that title. Hell, they could put the Hulk under his title.
