Origin

Hermes is one of the twelve main Gods and Goddess of the Greek Pantheon. He is also considered the God of Magic, Travel, Merchants, and Thieves. He is most notable with his tricks and light attitude. During the reboot of Wonder Woman following Crisis on Infinite Earths, Hermes is shown to be one of the gods that blessed Diana upon her birth, giving her the powers of speed and flight. Later when Mt. Olympus was destroyed by Darkseid, the Greek gods decided to destroy Mt. Olympus in order that it can be rebuilt. This requires the gods to depart the plane for an indefinite amount of time. Hermes was the only one who dissented, choosing instead to stay on Earth. Part of this is that he is enamored with Diana, but he also wants to reassert the connection between men and gods. He is often seen trying to reconstruct a demolished temple in New Hampshire, and he moves in with Steve Trevor for some time.
