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:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.”
—Henry Codman Potter (1835–1908)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
