Mars (God)

Once there, Wonder Woman soon identified the war god's three lieutenants, chronic complainers Lord Conquest and the Earl of Greed and the fawning Duke of Deception, who kept his true opinions about Mars to himself. He ... kept the true identity of the new slave to himself, preferring to use the inevitable conflict to his advantage.

On the 15th November, Mars turns retrograde at 12º Cancer and begins his backward journey through Cancer and Gemini. Imagine a juggernaut going into reverse. This most challenging part of the cycle goes from mid November to Christmas Day when Mars at 2º Cancer moves to oppose the Sun at 2º Capricorn.

With Mars, there is no contemplation before action. The drive associated with Mars differs from that of the Sun in that it is self-assertion rather than assertion of the will; it is raw energy rather than creative energy.

The story was set in June of 1942, shortly before the Amazon Princess had met Mars' underlings -- not that she'd have recognized him anyway. This Duke of Deception was a tall, youthful handsome specimen whose looks only enhanced his lies. The Duke proposed to Mars that they take advantage of a recent run of bad publicity that Diana had received. wouldn't that achieve both your aims ? and a worsening of the World War ?"

Pre-discovery observations of asteroid 2007 WD5, taken on November 8, 2007 have allowed its orbit to be refined and the uncertainties for the late January Mars encounter have been improved. The impact probability resulting from the recent orbit refinement has increased to a surprising 3.9% (about 1 in 25 odds). The uncertainty region during the Mars encounter now extends over 400,000 km along a very narrow ellipsoid that is only 600 km wide. Since the uncertainty region intersects Mars itself, a Mars impact is still possible. However, the most likely scenario is that additional observations of the asteroid will allow the uncertainty region to shrink so that a Mars impact is ruled out. In the unlikely event of an impact, the time would be 2008 January 30 at 10:56 UT (2:56 a.m. PST) with an uncertainty of a few minutes.

Designer John Osbourne (... the Haunted House designer) stated that the tube shot on Mars was a direct steal from Bally's "Xenon". Just to be fair to their other Chicago rivals, Gottlieb also lifted the background sound for Mars from Williams' "Blackout". Mars was the first Gottlieb pinball with speech and it also had the largest repertoire of all the System 80 games.
