One should be careful to distinguish between this character, "Venus" a.k.a. "Aphrodite," who is a siren posing as the Greco-Roman goddess Venus and is a member of the Agents of Atlas group, and the actual, original Greco-Roman goddess. The goddess regards the Agent of Atlas "Venus" as an impostor and is none too pleased with her.
