00:00What if the ghost of Sparta, the man who single-handedly dismantled the Greek and Norse

00:05pantheons, suddenly found himself in the gritty, cynical world of the boys? Forget gods and

00:11monsters of myth. Kratos would be facing a new kind of deity, one born from a test tube and

00:16molded by corporate PR. How would Kratos fare in a universe where superheroes are celebrities

00:22and power is a product? Let's set the stage. Imagine Kratos, moments after his final battle

00:29in the Norse lands, isn't granted peace. Instead a cosmic anomaly, perhaps a dying realm's last

00:35gasp, tears a hole in reality. He's ripped from his world and unceremoniously dropped into

00:41an alley in New York City. The air is thick with exhaust fumes, the sounds are a cacophony

00:47of sirens and strange music, and the first thing he sees is a massive electronic billboard

00:52featuring the smiling face of Homelander. To Kratos, this new world is an assault on the

00:58senses. He's a man who craves only solitude and peace for his son. Yet he's been thrust

01:03into the loudest, most chaotic place imaginable. At first he would try to lay low. He'd observe,

01:10learn, and try to find a way back home. His primary goal is always protecting Atreus,

01:15and in this strange new world, that instinct would be heightened to a fever pitch. He'd see

01:21the Supes on TV, their heroic deeds broadcast for all to see. But Kratos is no fool. He has seen the

01:28true nature of gods before, their vanity, their cruelty hidden behind a veneer of power and authority.

01:35He would be immediately suspicious. The first inevitable clash wouldn't be with the Seven,

01:40it would likely be with a lower tier. Reckless Sup. Picture this, a C-list hero causing immense

01:46collateral damage while stopping a simple robbery. A building collapses, endangering civilians.

01:52Kratos, seeing the echoes of his own past failures and the innocent paying the price for

01:58the powerful's carelessness, would intervene. It wouldn't even be a fight. It would be a lesson.

02:04With a single calculated move, Kratos would neutralize the Sup, not necessarily killing him,

02:10but utterly breaking his spirit and his body, leaving him a whimpering mess.

02:14This act would not go unnoticed. For Vought International, an unknown, unbranded,

02:21an unbelievably powerful individual appearing out of nowhere is a nightmare. He's a variable they

02:26can't control. For Billy Butcher and the boys, however, he's a potential nuke. Butcher would see

02:33the news report, a grainy cell phone video of a bearded, ash-skinned man effortlessly humbling a

02:39so-called hero. He'd see the same cold, focused rage that fuels him. He would try to

02:44recruit Kratos. The meeting between Butcher and Kratos would be a fascinating moment of tension.

02:51Butcher would lay out his worldview, his hatred for Supes, and his mission to bring them all down.

02:57He'd offer Kratos a place, a purpose, a chance to get revenge on these false gods.

03:02Kratos would listen, his expression unreadable. He would see a man consumed by grief and rage,

03:08a dark mirror of his younger self. He would likely refuse. Kratos is no longer a tool of vengeance

03:14for others. His war is over, or so he wishes. He would tell Butcher to leave him be. But the world

03:22of the boys doesn't let anyone be. Vought, now deeply concerned, would dispatch a team to deal with this

03:28anomaly. Maybe they'd send a mid-tier team first like Payback. This is where we'd see the true gap

03:34in power. Soldier Boy's raw strength and energy blasts. Kratos has faced Hermes, who moved faster

03:42than sight, and Helios, the sun itself. He's weathered blows from Baldur and wrestled dragons.

03:48The members of Payback would be like children throwing rocks at a mountain. The Leviathan Axe would

03:54freeze them in their tracks. The Blades of Chaos would sear through their defenses. The fight would be

03:59brutal, efficient, and short. Now, Vought is in full panic mode. This isn't just some rogue soup.

04:07This is something else entirely. Homelander, whose ego is as massive as his power, would see this as a

04:13personal challenge. He wouldn't wait for Vought's orders. He'd see Kratos as a rival for the spotlight,

04:20a threat to his position as the most powerful being on the planet. And he would go to confront him.

04:25The confrontation between Kratos and Homelander is the main event. Homelander would arrive with his

04:31usual arrogance floating down from the sky, a golden god descending to address a mortal. He'd try

04:38his usual intimidation tactics—the condescending smile, the thinly-veiled threats, the laser-eye stare.

04:45Kratos wouldn't even flinch. He stood before Zeus, the king of Olympus, and felt no fear. To him,

04:51Homelander is just another arrogant child playing at divinity. Homelander would mock Kratos' appearance,

04:57his strange weapons, his stoic silence. And that would be his final mistake. He might try to monologue

05:03to explain how he is the hero, how people love him. Kratos would simply say,

05:09you are not a god. You are just a man who believes he is. When Homelander finally attacks,

05:15he would unleash his full power. He'd fly at Kratos, expecting to tear him apart. He'd blast him with

05:22his heat vision, expecting to see him melt. But Kratos would catch the punch. The shockwave would

05:28shatter windows for blocks, but Kratos wouldn't move. He'd absorb the heat vision with the golden fleece,

05:33or deflect it with the guardian shield, the beams scattering harmlessly. Homelander's invulnerability

05:39has never been truly tested against divine magic and pure, god-tier strength. Kratos has killed

05:46beings who could reshape reality. Homelander's power, while immense, is fundamentally physical.

05:53Kratos would go on the offensive. This wouldn't be a flashy fight. It would be a methodical dismantling.

06:00Every one of Homelander's strengths would be turned against him. His speed? Kratos' Spartan rage would

06:07allow him to react and counter. His strength? Kratos has matched and surpassed the strength of Titans,

06:13his heat vision? Ineffective. For the first time in his life, Homelander would know fear.

06:19True, genuine, existential fear. He's not fighting a man he can bully or a soup he can overpower.

06:27He's fighting a concept. He's fighting the very embodiment of a god-killer. The fight would end

06:32with Kratos standing over a broken, terrified Homelander. He would see the pathetic, needy child

06:38beneath the cape. The same cowardice he saw in the gods of his past. And in that moment, Kratos might

06:44not even kill him. Tillingham would be a mercy. Instead, he would do something far worse. He would

06:51break his power, his pride, and his public image in one fell swoop, exposing him to the world for the

06:57fraud that he is. He would prove that this god could bleed, could be beaten, could be humiliated.

07:03That is a fate worse than death for someone like Homelander. In the aftermath, the world of the

07:09boys would be irrevocably changed. The myth of soup invincibility would be shattered. Vought Stark

07:15would plumb it. The public would be in an uproar. Billy Butcher might even crack a smile. And Kratos?

07:20He wouldn't care. He would have found no peace, no way home. He would just be a man, a father,

07:28who wants to be left alone, but who is cursed to be a weapon. He would take Atreus if he was with him,

07:34and simply walk away disappearing into the shadows of this strange new world, looking for a quiet forest

07:40a place to escape the gods and monsters of this realm just as he did in his own. The ghost of Sparta

07:45would once again be a myth, a terrifying bedtime story that Vought tells its new soups to keep them

07:51in line, a cautionary tale about a pale man who single-handedly toppled a god. And somewhere out

07:57there, he'd be waiting, hoping the world would finally learn to leave him alone.
