However, Kratos did not kill all the gods, and there are close to a dozen Olympians that managed to survive Kratos' path of destruction.
Out of all the Gods of War, Kratos was the most powerful and fearsome one, since he had the powers of Pandora's Box, the powers of the God of War that belonged to Ares, and plenty of weapons and magic from the other gods and the knowledge to use the godly powers by Athena after the death of his brother.
4 Saitama Can Literally Beat Kratos With A Single Punch
Like Kratos, Saitama possesses inhuman strength and endurance, but unlike the God of War, he has unparalleled speed and reflexes.
He's killed 19 Full blooded Gods.
Zeus dies at the hands of Kratos.
Kratos stabs Zeus with the Blade of Olympus, then Zeus uses the blade against Kratos. But Kratos finishes the deed by beating Zeus to a bloody pulp with his bare hands (not unlike how he defeated Hercules).
Hela is a worthy competitor to Kratos in every way. She's ruthless and has superhuman strength, untouchable speed, relentless stamina, and a healing factor. However, she doesn't have experience in killing all the gods. Hence, the Ghost of Sparta would certainly stand victorious against her.
In God of War Ragnarök, it's likely that Kratos is around 1,055 years old. He's something of an old man, but as a demigod, he is still more than young enough to hold his own and then some in battle.
While he wouldn't know it for most of his life, Kratos was a demigod as he is the son of Zeus, but he would later become a full-on god, the God of War to be precise, after killing Ares.
Being the son of Zeus would mean instant Super Strength, and Kratos is a supreme level one at that. His feats of strength are stuff of legend. He was able to withstand attacks from gargantuan titans and even overpower them.
While it is true that the hammer would have been an incredible asset for the player, it cannot be wielded or even picked up by Kratos (nor Atreus) for several reasons.
Superhuman Strength: Even as a human, Alrik had been shown to be incredibly powerful, able to defeat Kratos, a demigod and son of Zeus, forcing the Spartan to pledge his soul to Ares. After he returned from the Underworld, his power had only increased when he faced Kratos again.
1 Weakness: His Nightmares
Up until God of War III, Kratos is plagued by nightmares, which partially explains why he's so vulnerable to illusions and mind tricks. It also, of course, explains his unquenchable rage. At the end of the day, Kratos' nightmares are one of his greatest weaknesses.
Maybe not genius, but aligns 130-155 IQ in critical thinking ways. Although as far as battle tactics and military stuff he was a once in a generation mind. Moreso Kratos is a testament to hardwork and passion rather pure intelligence or brute strength.
Ares, the original god of war, unless Kratos unseats him off of his throne and title. This was no easy feat and his boss fight is a testament to that. The battle between Ares and Kratos is one of the first truest combats between two gods.
He directly said that he can lift the world like Atlas but struggles with a chest and we just have to accept that in the context of the game.
However, Kratos did not kill all the gods, and there are close to a dozen Olympians that managed to survive Kratos' path of destruction.
Kratos is six feet and four inches tall in God of War: Ragnarok. With his massive build, being 6'4" makes him quite bigger than an average man. (He is a Spartan God and thus is supposed to be larger than average.) However, compared to the other gods' physique in-game, he is actually on the shorter end of the spectrum.
It is documented that Greek gods grow stronger with age, and audiences have seen that with the sheer power and invulnerability of Old Kratos. As such, Old Kratos would win based on age.
Kratos is exactly six feet and four inches tall (or about 1.93 meters, if that helps) in God of War: Ragnarok. That obviously makes him quite large for a human, though it puts him on the slightly shorter side so far as the game's gods go.
The Great Dane, the world's tallest dog, died last week. He was 5. Zeus, the world's tallest dog, is no more. The Great Dane's owner, Kevin Doorlag, told the Kalamazoo Gazette that Zeus died last week of old age.
Two giants (quite literally) have come together, as Sony Santa Monica's God of War is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since 2005, Kratos has kept us occupied as the Ghost of Sparta. Although we moved from Ancient Greece into Norse mythology with 2018's God of War, that's only helped the series.
Doom Slayer would easily get the upper hand early on thanks to his range. His weapons can unleash Hell on Kratos, thanks to the sheer variety of ranged pain at his disposal. However, one wrong move and the Blades of Chaos could reach Doom Slayer, enabling Kratos to zoom in and unleash his devastating combos.
Odin has been handling and manipulating enraged killers his entire life, Kratos going full rage mode would just play into Odins hands. The point of much of the story is how Kratos changing or controlling his nature is what allows him to succeed.
