It was forged by the Huldra Brothers, Sindri and Brok, who also forged Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, after feeling responsible for the destruction brought about by Thor. As a weapon made to oppose the power of Mjölnir and inspired by the epic size of Jörmungandr, Brok suggests the axe be named Leviathan.
Although Kratos never gets to wield the hammer, given his own extraordinary godly strength that slightly surpassed even that of Thor and even being able to hold Mjolnir back with his bare hands when Thor threw it at him, it's very likely that Kratos would be fully capable of using the hammer if he wanted to.
11 More Worthy: Storm Has Been Able to Lift Both Mjolnir And Her Own Hammer Stormcaster. The combination of a powerful X-Man and Thor's hammer is nearly unstoppable. Storm didn't initially lift Mjolnir, but rather a replica of Thor's hammer that became known as Stormcaster.
Stormbreaker is one of the most powerful weapons in the MCU, displaying extraordinary power not yet seen while Thor wielded Mjolnir. Gorr was able to use the power of the ax/hammer to open a portal to Eternity.

Many viewers have pointed out that Thanos was able to lift Stormbreaker without a problem, but this is because the ax isn't enchanted as Mjolnir is. Others believe Thanos lifted Mjolnir (although briefly) and have even argued that he would be worthy of doing so.
In the end, Deadpool wasn't worthy. While he seemingly had control of Mjolnir and the strength of Thor, it was all a mirage put on by Loki to distract Thor.
Unlike the others, Zeus is not worthy to lift Mjolnir, but through a loophole, he can anyway. If Mjolnir is to enter his domain, Zeus's MCU powers should override Odin's enchantment, meaning he can hold Mjolnir. He may not be worthy, but technically Zeus is the fifth character who can lift Mjolnir in the MCU's Phase 4.
Thor tears Frost Giants apart with Mjolnir in a crazed battle lust, while Kratos' Draupnir Spear requires precision and represents "his will as a general with a thinking mindset." Williams ultimately felt that Mjolnir was too obvious a weapon for Kratos and that the Draupnir Spear better represented the character in ...
The reason behind Thor's incurable wound is due to the Eitr imbued in the Leviathan Axe. In God of War, Kratos throws the weapon into the Lake of Nine and awakens the World Serpent, who rises out of the water. Jormungandr returns the Axe to Kratos by spitting it out and, in the process, covering it with his venom.
Although the Leviathan Axe's sheer size would make it unwieldy for the average person, Kratos is able to toss it around the battlefield with ease. Regardless of where it is, the Axe always returns to him, damaging enemies along the way.

Thor's hammer Mjolnir was defined by the fact that only the 'worthy' could lift it – so basically no-one except the god of thunder (and Vision, for some reason). But when it comes to the weapon's replacement, Stormbreaker – which Thor forges in Avengers: Infinity War – Groot is able to lift it too.
Meanwhile, MCU Phase 4 saw Stormbreaker being wielded by Thor, Gorr the God Butcher, Love, and anyone else who was strong enough to actually lift and swing it. This is because of the respective origins of both legendary Asgardian weapons.
Although Stormbreaker and Mjolnir have very similar properties and powers, Stormbreaker is the most powerful weapon wielded by Thor so far. The obvious reasons are that Stormbreaker is the physically larger weapon out of the two, and not to mention that it is an axe, which could well be more dangerous than a hammer.
