When I saw "God of War", I thought Ares, which meant that Dante would get his ass handed to him faster than you can say "demon powers". With Kratos, I still say Dante loses. Think for a moment: Kratos has gifts from the Greek gods, he is basically a "super-soldier", and he has defeated a god (if this takes place after the game); that's a pretty big resume.
By the way, awesome pic darth-yoda.
