But as strong as the icon is, even Kratos has weaknesses. Fans continue to shower the God of War in praise, with many considering him one of the best video game characters ever created. It's shaping up to be another amazing adventure in a long line of successful titles featuring beloved protagonist Kratos. Updated July 9, 2021, by Russ Boswell: Sony brought fans another fantastic adventure with the most recent God of War and now fans have even more Norse-themed adventures on the horizon with God of War: Ragnarok. But as Kratos himself would say, what else would you expect of the gods? Here are 10 superpowers you didn’t know Kratos had-and 10 weaknesses. He also, however, has his weaknesses, which his enemies frequently-and ruthlessly-use against him. From animal control to wielding lightning, there seems to be almost no limit to what Kratos can do. Over the course of the series, he obtains a variety of godly weapons and artifacts that enable him to use powers you may not have suspected.

With God of War IV, we’ve found out quite a bit more about Kratos, and especially about his son Atreus and his second wife Faye. There are still quite a few things about Kratos that might surprise you, however. His ash-pale skin and bright red tattoos are recognizable anywhere, and with several games and a comic book, we’ve learned quite a lot about the eponymous God of War.

Kratos is the iconic protagonist of the God of War series.
