Spartan vs Superhero: Kratos vs Homelander (7-0-0)

[Planck69]

When exploring a rift left by Ladon, Kratos emerges not in Laconia but in Central Park, New York, alone. He sees the leader of the Seven hovering nearby and barks out a request for his location, in his typical acerbic tone. Based on the way the older man tenses up, he probably doesn't appreciate it.

So the world's mightiest superhero battles a young Spartan demigod. In case it was not obvious, this is Spartan Cadet Kratos being used. Kratos is High 8-C.

Sadistic Supe:

What can Kratos do here?

Soul Magic is something that Homelander doesn't resist. He also has several elemental abilities, petrification and a ranged option with the Solar Sling.

Two minor things:
Honestly don't know exactly how skilled Kratos is in this key, but that's not too important against Homelander (surprised there are no Spartan martial arts in this key)
Masked isn't sure if Kratos can parry an attack that is many times stronger than he is.

After that, it's relatively simple.
Most of the time, Kratos is going to dodge the first attack, and then he's going to poke Homelander with the business end of his spear.
Homelander then experiences Hax™.
Masked will go ahead and vote Kratos for their own reasons.

Other than that, Kratos has a bag of tricks that Masked still hasn't wrapped their head around.
Oh, and Homelander can probably one-shot if Kratos tries to block.
However, Kratos does have a one-time resurrection, so uh

Will fix it next CRT but he should have Pankration in this key. Atreus invites Kratos to practice early on in the game.

And yeah, Kratos is gonna have to play the evasion game cause any attack will do him in (well, do him in once).

I had to double check this lol. But this feels stompish tbh

Homelander dies to literally anything Kratos does.....

He's only got the edge in raw power (I doubt even that lol but will go by what's on their profiles), but obviously Kratos has already dealt with stronger opponents, and his hax, skill, speed, and battle IQ will make him basically impossible for homie to hit.

If this isnt a stomp, I'll vote for Kratos

 

[Planck69]

Bump.

 

[Nonynho]

Kratos FRA

 

[TegamiBachi25]

If not a stomp, kid/teenager Kratos beats up manchild hero FRA

 

[Jackof_noTrades068]

Kratos FRA

 

[KLOL506]

Kratos FRA, Homelander got zero answers for the kid's hax.

Tbf, he does oneshot and fly but counted.

Seems Kratos takes this one. Homelander declares himself the one god, Kratos kills him easily, and the GOW gods share a laugh at this weakling claiming to be the same as them. Then Hades gives him a terrible afterlife as punishment for his hubris.

Forgot about this one. Adding it.
