What If The DC Universe Began in 2005? Ares the Greek God of War, powered by the bloodshed from the Second World War, raises an army of undead soldiers to return to Themyscira and conquer the Amazons. Hera, seeing this, warns Hippolyta in a vision. Hera tells her to choose a champion who will use Amazon's most powerful weapons.
Hippolyta starts to prepare the Amazons for the oncoming war. She holds trials for all the best warriors, to see who will be the champion. Diana, Hippolyta's daughter, wants to compete in these trials, but Hippolyta forbids it because she fears Ares could kill her daughter.
