Due to being the ruler of New Olympus, Ares got an upgrade. now, he doesn't just get stronger from getting damaged, he also can mimic their powers. The more they fight with Ares, the higher understand Ares gets of their powers. However they CANNOT copy other gods abilities. He also CANNOT use multiple copied abilities at a time, however he can combine it with his own to enhance it. the mimicking can range from fighting style to genetic abilities.
