- The War of the Gods was a conflict in the Esstran sector during the period of the Great Hutt Wars. The war was fought between the conquering Bogan Empire and various rebel elements who opposed the Bogan's imperial domination. The rebels rejected the claim of Emperor Banik Kelrada that the Bogan were the descendants of the Sith King Adas and the Sith species, whom the people of the Esstran sector worshiped as gods. The war ended with the subjugations of Conscio, Thule, and Ziost, along with a number of other Esstran sector worlds.
- The War of the Gods began when the God Torak came to the Vale of Aldur to speak with Aldur about a source of immense power named the Orb of Aldur. They had an argument and Torak struck Aldur and ran off with the Orb. The other Gods urged Torak to give the Orb back, but when he refused, a great war started between Torak with his Angaraks and the other Gods and their peoples. When Torak and his army were defeated, he took up the Orb and caused the Cracking of the World.
- While the five siblings initially tried to kill Wiseman for murdering all their friends and family, they ultimately fell under the sway of the Brethren when they were forced to fight through the people of Cujam before they could reach Wiseman. After killing numerious inhabitants of Cujam, Malpercio was killed by the Children of the Earth who saw them as the true threat and, in order to save the unpolluted parts of Earth, they created the five continents, Alfard, Sadal Suud, Anuenue, Diadem, and Mira. The power of Malpercio meanwhile bled into the battle field and created the sixth continent of Hassaleh, resulting in the ultimate formation of the settings that made up a majority of the series.
- The War of the Gods will be a story updated by Crazy-Lihkan38 regularly, and takes place in the Universe 38. It is his first story written in the CBW fashion like this. The main character is Ondaro, a Jungle Glatorian, and follows his missions with his Squad in Kimu Nui. It takes place during the War of the Gods.
- The War of the Gods was the first conflict that took place in the Land of the Living after the Void War but long before recorded history. It was fought between the still young gods over whose faith was superior to others despite All-Mother Gaea's pleas to stop the war. They unleashed several horrors to fight in their name and even fought directly against one another, ravaging the Land of the Living in the process.

| HistoryText | - The sorceress Circe sought to appease the vengeful desires of her matron Goddess Hecate by destroying the Earth Goddess Gaea. Such an ambitious plot required the use of several mystical artifacts, as well as the cooperation of Eris, the scheming daughter of Ares.
Circe knew that her greatest opposition stemmed from her nemesis Wonder Woman, as well as the armies of all of Themyscira. The first leg of her master plan involved planting seeds of mistrust that would brand the whole of Themyscira as a target. This was achieved chiefly through Phobos, who manipulated the fear and anxiety of the general populace into taking arms against Themsycira. Led by the corrupted General Yedziniak, the United States Air Force took up against the Amazons of Themyscira. General Phillipus and Queen Hippolyta were gravely injured, the latter of whom teetered on the brink of Death. Wonder Woman collected her mother and brought her back to Paradise Island in the hopes of healing her.
Upon acquiring the artifacts that she required, Circe wove a spell known as the Hellfire Web which blanketed the entire world awakening the gods of several pantheons and goaded them towards making war with one another. Of the various pantheons, the most vital of which included the Gods of Mount Olympus who waged a brutal battle against their Roman counterparts. The effect spread out across the globe and inspired the deities of several cultures into waging war with one another, include the Nordic Gods, the Heliopolis of Ancient Egypt, the Orisha of the West Indes, Even the deities of other worlds such as Thanagar, New Genesis and Apokolips were affected.
The gods of the Roman pantheon took arms against their Greek counterparts in a bid to reclaim their lost legacy. Jupiter, lord of the Gods swapped lightning bolts with Zeus on New Olympus. Mercury fought against the god Hermes, while Mars – the God of War journeyed to the Areopagus to battle against his analog Lord Ares. In the midst of war, the Roman gods announced that they had a human champion that would battle against the Greek's Wonder Woman – that champion was none other than Captain Marvel. Diana was forced to defend herself against a possessed Captain Marvel while the other gods continued with their discourse. Their battle ended when a tear in the fabric of reality separated them, propelling both combatants to different locales.
Through all of this, New Olympus pierced the veil between worlds and occupied space in the Earth dimension. This phenomena caused widespread geological disaster across the globe, forcing Earth's heroes to band together. Circe intensified the strength of her Hellfire Web, virtually placing a stranglehold on Gaea herself. To combat the heroes of Earth, she sent forth her Beastiamorphs – half-human/half-animal creatures of chaos. The Beastiamorphs descended upon several American cities including Chicago, Boston and Gotham City.
In the Tower of Fate in Salem, Doctor Fate gathered several powerful mystics, as well as Geo-Force and Animal Man in an effort to create a counter-spell to reverse the effects of Circe's magic. Circe had expected this, and planned on cultivating the energy from the spells the group was now casting – but her plan backfired and her spells were undone: yet the war continued.
On Themyscira, time was running out for both Wonder Woman and her dying mother. She tracked down Hermes, but he was unable to heal Hippolyta, so Diana resolved to take her mother back to Paradise Island. She was attacked en route by fighters, but with the help of Starman she managed to evade them. On the shores of the Island, she would face Circe at last. Circe had fought her way through Hermes to get to Diana, but she would not simply kill the Amazon and risk Hecate's curse. Cutting them off from other heroes gathered on the Island , Circe used her magic to revert Diana back into the clay of the island, the very same clay from which she was born. Having destroyed Wonder Woman, Circe departed, ready to grasp final victory. As the Amazons mourned their fallen princess, Superman rallied Earth's heroes for the final battle.
Though Diana's physical body was destroyed, her eternal spirit remained. Collected by the Phantom Stranger, the Spectre, and Deadman, her spirit languished inside the very womb of Gaea. They told her that Klarion the Witch Boy had been responsible for disrupting several of Circe's spells.
Superman, meanwhile, lead the charge against Olympus itself, where the confused Greek and Roman pantheons were still committed to destroying each other. Circe resurrected the zombified remains of fallen heroes and villains such as Commander Steel, Mister Terrific, Mirror Master and the Force of July and set them against the heroes. When Circe's deceptions were made clear, she was transported back to the realm of Limbo. There she found Donna Troy and Wonder Woman – restored to life. Diana battled the evil witch, and this time her power was the greater, for Hecate's power had left Circe. The witch was seemingly killed, but Hecate was denied Diana's soul. The gods decided to depart again, but the long war was finally over.
The war had been costly. Much of Paradise Island was in ruins and would need to be rebuilt, and casualties included many Amazons including the seer Menalippe. The United Nations fully exonerated Themyscira from all charges, and Queen Hippolyta was alive and well.

| Notes | - War of the Gods was a four-issue limited series published from September to December of 1991. The series was written by Wonder Woman series writer/artist George Pérez who also provided the layouts. Finished art and embellishments were provided by Cynthia Martin and Russell Braun with coloring and lettering by Gene D'Angelo and Albert DeGuzman . The series was edited by Karen Berger and Tom Peyer with covers by Pérez. Each issue of the series was forty-eight pages in length and included centerfold bonus pin-ups illustrated by Chris Sprouse and George Pérez. The storyline crossed over into most of the mainstream titles published at the time and culminated in an unofficial epilogue in Wonder Woman #62, which also signified Pérez departure from the series.
Although the title featured many heroes that populate the greater DC Universe, "War of the Gods" focused heavily on [[W:C:DC:Diana of Themyscira

- The War of the Gods was the first conflict that took place in the Land of the Living after the Void War but long before recorded history. It was fought between the still young gods over whose faith was superior to others despite All-Mother Gaea's pleas to stop the war. They unleashed several horrors to fight in their name and even fought directly against one another, ravaging the Land of the Living in the process. The gods Mardük, Paedün and Thoth ultimately grew tired of the conflict and fled to the Demon Realm, which would set in motion a series of unfortunate events which would culminate in the Battle of Mount Purgatory and Thoth's fall to the Nameless Shadow. The War of the Gods eventually came to an end through the loss of their brother, and the gods swore an oath to never fight in the godflesh in the Land of the Living again. However, they would end up circumventing this rule by using mortal races to fight their wars for them instead, so academics argue that actually the War of the Gods has never fully ended and has simply continued in different forms throughout the ages.
