History: (DC Comics Presents #32 (fb, BTS)) - Eros was the son of Aphrodite, goddess of Love, and grew to be a god of love. His mother cultivated love’s romance, but he was drawn to raw passion, and had disagreements with his mother over how they should spread love to humanity.

(DC Comics Presents #32) - Wonder Woman was on JLofA monitor duty when she was approached by Eros, god of love, who’d fallen for her. She spurned him, telling him her heart belonged to Col. Trevor, and he was enraged. Superman arrived at the JLofA satellite, and Eros struck them both with his arrows, making them fall passionately in love. Superman and Wonder Woman embraced and kissed, but used their will to prevent their newfound passion from going further, knowing in their hearts that they loved Col. Trevor and Lois Lane respectively. Eros watched them try to deny their passions from Mount Olympus, and was pleased. Aphrodite caught him, and wondered if he was up to mischief as usual. She said the Romans had it right when they depicted him as a winged infant, because he didn’t understand the intricicies of love. Superman and Wonder Woman traveled to Mount Olympus to confroint Eros. Eros’ mother Aphrodite was unhappy with her sons actions, and led the heroes to a cave containing the Blue Lotus of Lost Love that would remove unwanted passion
