Name
The Olympians are named after the mountain on which they reside: Mount Olympus.
Appearance
Regardless of adaptation, the Olympians possess the same appearance as Humans, simply appearing taller and fitter in comparison, with many of the male Olympians possessing muscular physiques. Their attire typically resembles that of the Ancient Greeks that worshipped them, consisting of drapes, tunics, cloaks, and even laurel crowns. In addition, many Olympians wear various forms of battle armor, most often bracers composed of gold or bronze.
Culture
In Godzilla: Rage Across Time, the Olympians stand as gods worshipped by humans, a way of life that has lasted for a long time prior to the on-panel events, which had taken a toll in the form of the Olympians' growing apathy and desire for reverence. It is established that there exists a connection between the Olympians and their worshippers which fuels the power of the reputed gods through the faith of humankind. Thanks to this phenomenon, the Olympians possess supernatural abilities that allow them to provide for their disciples when prayed to, exchanging objects and counsel for monuments and praise.

Trivia
- In real-life Greek mythology, Hades does not count amongst the Olympians like he does in Godzilla: Rage Across Time, since he doesn't reside on Mount Olympus. Nonetheless, he remains a biological relative of the incontrovertible members, being siblings with Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, and the non-appearing Demeter.
- Though they don't officially appear in Godzilla: Rage Across Time #2, carved statues of Athena, Apollo, and Artemis appear on the issue's retailer incentive cover made by Aaron John Gregory.
