ok Ares doesn't have a specific power but his power would be strength? Like how powerful is he? what wars has he been in? and any info on his basic life at battle!!!!
 
Ares was responsible for all wars. He is more of a god form of brute strength and raw power. The horrors and terrors caused by war were not his domain. Specific powers depend on what story you read of him in but generally he's considered the greatest of warriors, a master tactician, and that he lives for conquest in his name. He frequently tries to gain the favor of his father, Zues, over his sister Athena.
 
There's a God whose all-powerful, and He will one day win the battle of good vs. evil. He is a god of love and He created the universe, and He loves you very much. He's the living, powerful, all seeing God of the Bible- and He wants to know you.
 
Ares has no unique attributes, but is described as strong, harnessed in bronze, and golden helmeted. He rides a war chariot. The serpent, owls, vultures, and woodpecker are sacred to him. Ares had unsavory companions like Phobos ("Fear") and Deimos ("Terror"), Eris ("Strife") and Enyo ("Horror"). Ares is a god of warfare and murder.

Strengths: Decisive, determined, fearless.

Weaknesses: Impulsive, bloodthirsty, raring for a fight regardless of the consequences.

Ares was god of slaughter, warfare, and warriors. Because Ares killed men, he was hated by the Greeks.

"She [Aphrodite having born a daughter to Adonis] turned her round eyes delighted in all directions; only the boars she would not watch in their pleasures, for being a prophet she knew, that in the shape of a wild boar, Ares with jagged tusk and spitting deadly poison was destined to weave fate for Adonis in jealous madness." - Nonnus, Dionysiaca 42.1f

"Agraulos [daughter of Kekrops king of Athens] and Ares had a daughter Alkippe. As Halirrhothios, son of Poseidon and a nymphe named Eurtye, was trying to rape Alkippe, Ares caught him at it and slew him. Poseidon had Ares tried on the Areopagos with the twelve gods presiding. Ares was acquitted." - Apollodorus, The Library 3.180

"While [Cadmus] was seeking water [when he first arrived in Boiotia] he came to the fountain of Castalia, which a Dracon, the offspring of Mars [Ares], was guarding. It killed the comrades of Cadmus, but was killed by Cadmus with a stone. Under Minerva’s instructions he sowed the teeth and plowed them under. From them sprang [armed warriors called] the Sparti." - Hyginus, Fabulae 178
