He is strong enough to do that in GOW2 with a free hand while trying to crush him. Kratos rammed the massive head of the Hydra thru a long pike on a ship, overpowers 20-30 foot Cyclope with ease, ripped out of the Kraken's grip, muscled the Blade of Olympus from ZEUS, and tossed a 200-300 foot Collossus a mile away. He is MUCH stronger than Cenarius. If this is Kratos at the end of GOW2...it is a stomp, nothing less. He has all his godly powers and MORE in a small package.
why do you base so much on strength? how the hell is his strength going to help him against the far faster Cenarius? the guy could move far away from Kratos then blast him over and over until kratos falls, kratos has never showed immunity to magic, and very little ressitence (infact in storyline he never shows much resistence to any magics either from memory)
Atlas wasnt trying, he wasnt even strained, play it, you can see his face and how easily hes pushing without too much trouble at all, not to menstion hes speaking to Kratos while hes doing it, why would he speak to a guy he just wants to crush. Mythology is a moot point, Zues in mythology has done tonnes of things form shapeshifting, all kinds of transformations and kicked Hephastus across the world and all kinds of crazy things, the Zues in GOW and all the Gods have not such feets from shown. Atlas simply holds up the earths mantle, the sky....the sky is atmosphere...how much you think it weighs?
theres no debate Kratos is far stronger than Cenarius, but this will not neccerily help him, i doubt Cenarius is going melee..
