GamesRadar+ staff described Kratos as "one of PlayStation's most popular representatives", and described him as the "most memorable, influential, and badass" protagonist in games: "Being insanely violent isn't exactly an uncommon trait amongst game characters, but driven by a rage wrought from his guilt (slaughtered ...
Young, Greek Pantheon-slaying Kratos' rage stemmed from guilt and grief. His own pride and lust for power led to his most criminal act: the murder of his wife and daughter. Though he was tricked into committing the act, the fact that his hands did the deed never left him. He never forgave himself for it.
Under Ares, Kratos committed many violent acts and was eventually tricked into killing his family. This caused the Spartan to seek vengeance against the god, something that was encouraged by the other gods.
Once Ares was dispatched he was tricked and betrayed by Zeus, revived by Gaia to let loose his rage once more. Kratos would burn olympus to the ground if they stood in the way of Zeus and he did. His life is a sad story, thus him being angry all the time in the first 3 games.
Once Kratos has done enough damage to his enemies, or if Kratos' son, Atreus, is in immediate danger, Kratos can use Spartan Rage. Kratos puts away his Leviathan Axe and his Blades of Chaos, using his fists for the whole duration of the Spartan Rage.
It is likely that the reason why Kratos no longer needs outside powers to tap into his rage is because whereas before Kratos was always angry and required the magic/weapons granted to him to properly focus his anger into empowering him, and by the time he has settled in the Norse world, his emotional control has ...
Kratos can use his rage effectively as a weapon without letting it control him. Think of it like mob psycho 100, the anime. Getting 100 percent rage isn't the power. The emotion just fuels the power already there instead of being suppressed.

Atreus sets off on his own, leaving Kratos with the shrine Behind it, he finds another panel that shows a large depiction of him, being worshipped as a god. He breaks down in tears, telling Mimir and Freya that he has seen “a path he never imagined”. “There is much to do, much to rebuild,” he tells the other two.
It was believed that Deimos is the Marked Warrior so it is very possible that Deimos' death and Kratos' destructive and aggressive behaviour led Zeus into believing that Kratos is the Marked Warrior who would seek revenge against the Gods of Olympus and one day destroy them.
Throughout the entire game ,it seems that Kratos regretted killing Zeus and for the longest time and I couldn't really understand why. He becomes very solemn, quiet and sometimes defensive whenever he is brought up.
Widely feared throughout Greece, the Blades of Chaos personified what Kratos had become during the darkest period of his life: a monster who killed his own family out of bloodlust, turning him into the infamous Ghost of Sparta.
The only regret Kratos had was that he also had to kill Orkos, on his request, to fully break free from the oath. The oathstone held in his body would become one of the key items in Ragnarok's Valhalla DLC.
Even Kratos, the series' protagonist, started off more like a bad guy before parenthood and melancholy reflection made him reflect on his past misdeeds. Some could argue that Kratos had a legitimate grievance with Ares and Zeus that got out of hand.
Kratos' single biggest strength, but also his single biggest weakness remains his rage. The pure anger that stems out of Kratos, becomes an integral part of his motivation as he continues along his journey of vengeance, redemption, and transformation.
You know, in god of War, Kratos has smiled six times. The first time was in god of war, when he realizes that he has to burn this guy. to complete a puzzle. The second is in chains of Olympus, when he reunites with his daughter.
Kratos is overwhelmed, even letting out a few tears and whimpers at the vision of him as a savior instead of an instrument of death and destruction, as he was in Greece.
Lysandra (Greek: Λυσάνδρα) was a Spartan woman who was Kratos' first wife and mother to his daughter, Calliope. Though Kratos had many women in his time, he felt truly connected to Lysandra and considered her his soul mate and true love.
Kratos is characterized as brutal and merciless, repeatedly mocking both Hephaestus and Prometheus and advocating for the use of unnecessary violence. He defends Zeus' oppressive rule and predicts that Prometheus will never escape his bonds.
He shows no emotion because that's how spartans were raised but at some point, he does show regret, sadness and guilt which can be a sign of depression. I mean Kratos lost Calliope, his first wife, his mother, his brother Deimos and his whole Spartan army. not only that, he lost his second wife, Faye.
It seems the secret to Kratos's awesome physique has more to do with his origins and training. His connection with the Olympians may have bolstered his mortal body.
Initially, the name John Kratos was nothing more than a joke shared on Twitter by The Guardian's gaming editor, Keza MacDonald. But as is the case with so much internet content these days, it soon gained its own lifeforce, eventually leading to PlayStation canonising the name.
Now if we're using their current selves, it's an instant loss for Kratos, because while he has weakened, Thor only grew in power. He possesses the full power of the Odin-Force, renamed into the Thor-Force, and far surpasses Kratos in power. Even Young Kratos would be no match for King Thor.
