James Olsen - Earth X - Supergirl: Season Three

The civilian identity of Guardian, James Olsen was a member of the Freedom Fighters. Proud of his heritage, he incorporated the American flag - long since outlawed by the New Reich - into his outfit. He even decorated his shield with the same design. 

Although he was killed in action, he never stopped believing in a brighter future, free from the Reich's control.

Zeus - DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season Five

The head of the Greek Pantheon, Zeus is the father of Dionysus & Ares and ruler of Mount Olympus. 

Before Dionysus left Olympus, he gifted the god of wine an enchanted chalice capable of making mortals temporarily invincible. 

Dionysus - DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season Five

The son of Zeus, Dionysus was the God of wine and pleasure worshipped by the humans of Ancient Greece (and Rome). After Theseus abandoned Ariadne, he met and comforted the lost princess. They would become lovers, marrying one another sometime later. 

With the decline of worshippers of the old gods, he left his home of Mount Olympus, to search for everlasting parties and hedonism. He settled for Hudson University in 2020, where he quickly made a name for himself as Dion, the beloved head of the local frat house, hosting the best parties and feeding off their devotion and ecstasy. 

The Legends sought him out, believing that his enchanted chalice would be key to using the Loom of Fate, as it granted temporary immortality to all those who drank from it. 

Dion - DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season Five

The alias taken on by Dionysus during his time among mortals, Dion made a name for himself as head of Hudson University's Sigma Psi Phi Fraternity, revelling in nightly parties of drink and hedonism. Calling these pledges "Greeks", he would bestow temporary immortality onto those he deemed worthy, letting them drink from his Chalice. 

Fearing that Clotho - his friend - would end free will and by extension his permanent partying, he initially denied the Legends' request to drink from the Chalice in 2020, only relenting when he is defeated in a game of beer pong. 

True to his word, he allows the victor, Sara Lance, and her crew to gain the immortality they need to use the Loom of Fate. 

He was pleased that Clotho was just as rebellious as he remembered, reassured that she would not do anything to hurt the world. He also remained good friends with Nate Heywood, whom he met during the latter's college days. 

The Chalice of Dionysus - DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season Five

An ancient artefact of the Greek deity of wine and pleasure, the Chalice of Dionysus could grant temporary immortality to anyone who drank from it. Fiercely protective of this fabled cup, a gift from his father, it never left his side, taking it with him when he left Mount Olympus for Hudson University, USA in 2020. It would be known as "The Chug Cup." 

It was highly sought after by mages and historians for its powers of longevity, accelerated healing, and invulnerability. However, it was impossible to steal, as its owner enchanted the Chalice with an immovability spell, making it impossible for it to be lifted or moved without his permission. 

Seeking immortality to use the Loom of Fate, the Legends travelled to Hudson. There Sara Lance and the others won the right to drink from the Chalice after she beat Dion - Dionysus - in a game of beer pong. 

Heartsbane - The World of Ice & Fire
