Hephaestus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He is adapted from the Greek god of the same name. Hephaestus first appeared in Wonder Woman #226.
Hephaestus is the Olympian Gods' blacksmith whose history is largely the same as his mythological counterpart. [1] Post-Crisis, Hephaestus forged Wonder Woman's golden Lasso of Truth and bracelets. [2]
In The New 52 , Hephaestus is assisted by a group of laborers who were abandoned male children from Themyscira. Wonder Woman attempts to release them, but they choose to stay. [3] [4] [5]
Like the Olympian Gods, Hephastus has supernatural abilities that include size-changing, shapeshifting, and immortality. He also has genius-level intellect and is an expert blacksmith.
