Kratos, the main character in the God of War video game trilogy, has some striking similarities to Heracles. First of all, he's super strong. Second, they're both mortal sons of Zeus. Third, the gods tricked Kratos into killing his family. Like Heracles, he tries to atone for his crime and becomes a god. Unlike Heracles, he goes on a rampage and kills all of the Olympians.
