Replacement: Composite Kratos, the God of War!
Heel, no explanation necessary.
Bio: The Greek gods are dicks. Kratos, the son of the god Zeus and a mortal woman, knows this all too well. The gods promised Kratos a cure for his terrible nightmares if he served the gods. Well, Kratos served the gods, and they decided "Instead of helping him out, we'll kill him instead". Add in the fact that the god Ares also tricked Kratos into killing his wife and daughter, and you can see why he might be a little upset. He was so upset, in fact, that he decided to kill all the gods and destroy the world. And he did!
Personality: Once upon a time, there was a Greek man. He was very very angry. The end. Well, that's mean. Kratos is a very prickly guy, but it's not impossible to warm up to him. You might be able to get on his good side, but that's a big "might".
Abilities: Composite Kratos has any power from any God of War game. This includes his incredible strength, fantastic durability, and incredible speed (don't laugh, Kratos is actually fast). He's also got magic and weaponry out the wazoo, including pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, electrokinesis, earthquake inducement, the ability to summon the souls of the dead, the ability to turn enemies to stone, the ability to dispel any illusion, the ability to create a clone of himself, "healing" objects by rewinding them in time, and slowing down his opponents. This guy is versatile as all hell.
