Thank you for pointing it out.

Yes.

No, in the future he will have a change of appearance and become “handsome”. However, there is still a long time to go before this happens.

No, it is not. This is because both are two completely different myths. In the case of the myth of Zagreus it could be said that it was Zeus himself who wanted to make Zagreus his successor, this in a voluntary way. Subsequently, Hera conspired against Zagreus which resulted in the death of this last one, until he was basically "reincarnated" in the son of Zeus and Semele who was called Dionysus. Now in the myth of Zeus and Metis things are very different, this because from the beginning there was a prophecy that stated that the second son of the relationship of Zeus and Metis would dethrone his father. It could be said that Zeus would be dethroned by his own son, as he once did with his father. So not wanting to suffer such a fate, Zeus swallowed Metis making the prophecy could not be fulfilled. Although in the end Metis was able to give birth to Athena, but this second child was never born and therefore Zeus remained as the king of Olympus. In short, both are different myths that have no relation between them. I hope this is enough to answer your question.

Well, it could be said that he has two notable powers, the first of them that perhaps does not fall into the category of power, would be his great affinity with the forge while the other would be that he has some control over fire. In addition to this it can be mentioned those that a god has by default, as could be super strength, super speed among others. What you mention about magic is something that I totally agree with you. In fact, in this chapter it was seen that Hephaestus endowed the bracelet he created with the power of shadows so that it could have the same capabilities as Hades' helmet. Anyway, Hephaestus will learn magic among other powers, but that will be in the future of the story. Finally, thank you very much for your suggestions.

Yes, he will.

It depends on the myth, sometimes Hephaestus is just ugly and for this reason Hera throws him out of Olympus, this having as a direct consequence that his leg becomes crippled. Although there are other versions where Hephaestus was born with these defects and for this reason Hera ends up throwing him out of Olympus.

No, he is not.

That is very simple to explain, since on the cover it is the future appearance of Hephaestus, not the current one. The current appearance of Hephaestus was described in previous chapters, but to give you an image you should imagine that the golden lines that run down his body are similar to open wounds added to the color of the skin of Hephaestus makes it less than graceful.

Well, I mean in the previous chapter it was mentioned that they both considered Hephaestus to be too young to know. Besides, it was implicitly stated that the existence of other pantheons is a well-kept secret, one that Hephaestus must not even have known about until he is older. Also, I don't think at any point I made Hephaestus grateful for being an ignorant fool, he simply understands that both Hera and Athena must have had their own circumstances for them not to tell him and that's it. Although this again probably sounds like excuses to you, anyway, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Yeah, she's not, I can say for sure that she won't be in the harem, there's just no way.

At the moment I have no plans to integrate her into the harem, of course this may change in the future, but at least for now I do not intend for her to have an intimate relationship with Hephaestus.

In the future it will in fact it is certain to say that he will have a large arsenal of weapons, but as I mentioned that will be in the future of history.

Maybe or maybe not, for the moment I will leave it as a mystery, that will be seen as the story goes on. By the way, I apologize for taking so long to answer.

It is very likely that they do so because of the association that Hades has with death and darkness, or in general because he is the Lord of the Underworld. Frankly, I find it somewhat illogical that he is always portrayed as a villain, when in reality he is most likely one of the most neutral and even good gods in all of Greek mythology. As for your question well as you mention it could be considered that this is the universe of DC, just that an alternate one, but how much it is something that will be revealed as time goes by.

Oh well, if that's what you think that's fine, you just have a different opinion about it than mine, anyway thanks for commenting.

As another reader pointed out Athena is the goddess of wisdom and for that reason alone she is more than qualified to know more things than the common gods, besides let's remember that Athena was practically born prepared for war which undoubtedly demonstrates her outstanding capabilities. On the other hand, Hephaestus, while showing great skills, is not something that is at the level of Athena, especially if we consider that he is growing in a common way. Finally I will only say that as such neither Athena nor Hera lied to Hephaestus and that is something that Hera herself mentions, instead it could be said that they effectively hid information but this is because in the perspective of Hera and Athena thinks that Hephaestus still needs to mature before being able to reveal to him what is being hidden.

Yes.

Oh no, he does get paid, I just forgot to put it in the chapter, I will fix that in one of the future chapters.
