- "Long ago, when the world was new and all of history was still a dream, the gods ruled the Earth, Zeus king among them."
- ―Hippolyta[src]
Zeus, also known as Jupiter, was the king of the Old Gods, worshipped by the Amazons, ancient Greeks and Roman civilizations. He is the father of numerous children, which include: the fearsome God of War Ares, the Goddess of Hunt Artemis, as well as the heroic demigod Wonder Woman.
Despite his death at the hands of Ares, his legacy lives on both through his daughter Diana, and through the powers of the wizard Shazam and his champions, who are able to harness some of Zeus' power for their own use.

Old God Physiology: As the King of the Old Gods, Zeus was a divine being of unparalleled power and might, and the most powerful of all the Old Gods, surpassing even his brothers Poseidon and Hades. He was considerably more powerful than the minor Old Gods and Amazons. Zeus' extraordinary power was shown when he single-handedly defeated numerous parademons and Apokoliptian priests during Darkseid's First Invasion.
- Immortality: As the oldest Old God, Zeus is immortal, and has lived for millennia without visibly aging, with him far predating humanity and the Amazons, as well as even being older than all the other Old Gods.
- Superhuman Srength: Like all Old Gods, Zeus possessed physical power far above any mortal, and as the King of the Old Gods, he holds the immense amount of strength, easily superior to super-powered Amazons, New Gods and other Old Gods. His daughter, Diana imbued with lesser but still god-like strength, was able to fight a weakened Ares and ultimately defeat him.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: As the King of the Old Gods, Zeus possess the highest level of vast invulnerability an Old God can have, making him nearly indestructible both to physical and supernatural means. While he could still be harmed by other beings of extreme power, given as how the violence enhanced Ares was able to severely wound him, his invulnerability, surpassing that of Poseidon, Hades and a violence enhanced Ares, was so great that even those beings have extreme difficulty harming or killing him, as Zeus emerged uninjured from his fight with Darkseid and was able to effectively resist the violence enhanced Ares's power enough to eventually defeat him and while Ares was incapacitated until he healed, Zeus retained enough power to create the shielded island of Themyscira and his death was mainly because he overexerted his powers while already being severely wounded. However, he still can be killed by a divine being of equal power like Ares in his prime form.
- Realm and Barrier Creation: Right as the War of the Gods drew to a close, despite being severely wounded and tired from his battle with Ares, Zeus was able to create the island of Themyscira and the extremely powerful magical wards that shielded the island, in order to guarantee the Amazons protection from the outside world and from Ares, a shielding that was so powerful that even Ares was never able to penetrate the island, although this cost Zeus his life.
- Electricity Manipulation: As the God of Thunder, Zeus has absolute control and was able to generate divine electricity to an unparalleled degree. He was capable of summoning vast amounts of powerful celestial thunder into his hands and then precisely shaping them into blasts and bolts of lightning of unparalleled power, Zeus' electrokinetic powers were so potent and powerful, that with a single blast, he was capable of injuring and hurting Darkseid rendering him immobilized in the first Invasion of Earth, and he even grievously wounded Ares when his powers were dramatically enhanced by the violence of the War of the Gods with a single tremendously powerful lightning blast to the torso. Zeus even easily pried apart the fusing Unity with a single thunderbolt. The Power of Zeus, which grants Shazam electrokinesis is named after the late Old God.
- Flight: Zeus could levitate himself off the ground and fly at extraordinary speeds, as both he and Ares remained in the air through their battle on Olympus and Zeus notably managed to outpace Ares's already extreme flight speed enhanced greatly by the violence that occurred in the War of the Gods.
