Fictional Character Biography
Apollo is the son of Zeus, and brother to Artemis. He was born on Mount Cynthus, on the island of Delos, in the Mediterranean Sea. He now resides with the rest of the pantheon in Olympus.
Apollo was present at a time of war between Asgard and Olympus, and opposed the conflict. He was also present when Zeus granted power to Thor to help resurrect the Asgardian gods. Apollo aided Thor and the other gods in opposing Demogorge. Apollo was consumed by Demogorge, but was then released unharmed. When Hercules's battle garb was destroyed, Apollo traveled to Earth and presented him with new battle garb. When Hercules was gravely wounded fighting the Masters of Evil, Zeus blamed the Avengers for his condition. Apollo sought to aid the Avengers in Olympus against the wrath of Zeus, but was struck down by Zeus. He later healed the injuries that Zeus had caused to Captain America and Doctor Druid.
Apollo, Artemis, and Hephaestus appear in a meeting with Hera and Pluto, where Hera reveals her plans to them. Athena reached out to Apollo, but he refused to aid her, preferring to "wait and see". Apollo later appeared at Herclues' funeral, in the company of Athena (now the leader of the Olympians after the deaths of Zeus and Hera), Pluto, Neptune, and Hebe.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
