Name: General Gerald Kohler
First Appearance: Wonder Woman #2 (1986)
Creators: Greg Potter and George Perez
Abilities: High ranking official in the United States military with all the power and privilege this carries. Nuke haver. Blessings of Ares.
Backstory: Devout worshipper of Ares. Gerald Kohler was a soldier who reveled in slaughter and bloodshed. Held no shame or hesitance to carry out inhumane and unspeakable horrors upon innocents as an offering to the god of war.
Having served in the Vietnam war, Kohler would torture and slaughter civilians and captured soldiers. Offering their lives and suffering as sacrifice on the alter of Ares. In exchange, the god of war ensured Kohler would be viewed as a soldier of action whose every atrocity carried out in the name of Ares would be applauded instead of reviled.
Becoming a decorated soldier and rising through the ranks until he was a general in the air force, Kohler was well positioned to serve as an agent of Ares to carry out his commands. Be it working to recruit more to his cause within the ranks of the military complex. The quiet demise of someone whose efforts of peace worked against the wishes of war. To arranging off the book quiet genocides through the use of Americas vast stockpile of island destroying nukes.
In the name of Ares, Kohler will kill anyone who stands in the way of war.
Name: George Yedziniak
First Appearance: Wonder Woman #32 (1989)
Creators: George Perez and Tom Grummett
Abilities: High ranking official in the United States military with all the power and privilege this carries. Nuke haver.
Backstory: Friend and ally to Gerald Kohler, George Yedziniak was a general in the United States military who rose through the ranks alongside Kohler after servicing in the Vietnam war and committing mass slaughter and torture of innocents for which he was acclaimed.
Unlike Kohler who did it in service of Ares and a devout worship of war, Yedziniak was motivated by a hatred of those who looked different from him and came from a different country. For in Yedziniak’s eyes, it was all about AMERICA.
A war hungry nationalist who wished to see anyone who didn’t agree with his line of thinking dead, Yedziniak viewed himself as a moral paragon even as he called for wholesale slaughter of anyone whose views clashed with his own.
A staunch voice against the Amazons and their ways of peace, he would do anything to see them dead.
