[edit] God of War series
In God of War he is seen in Pandora's Temple a statue that looks nothing like him and a image of him that gives you the magic called the Army of Hades. There is a statue of him in the Garden of the Gods along with Athena, Ares, Zeus, Helios and Poseidon which was in God of War II. He is at the end of the game also with Poseidon, Helios and Hermes standing in front of Zeus. In God of War: Chains of Olympus there is a challenge you get at the end of the game which is Challenge of Hades. And in God of War III there is a boss in it which is of Hades. Recently screenshots were seen showing kratos fighting hades. It is unknown at this point what Kratos will recive after he defeats Hades.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Like all gods, Hades was immortal and Invincible.Hades could also shapeshift.Most of Hades’ power came from Soul Absorbtion the fact that he ruled over the dead souls of mortal beings. While Kratos traversed the dangers of Pandora’s Temple, Hades gifted him with the souls of the Underworld to aid him in his journey. These souls literally mauled Kratos’ enemies to death, and weakened them enough for him to finish them off. Hades also carried spiked chains showing the power of Conjuring which he used to tear the souls from any living being, including a Titan. This was seen in a cut scene during Atlas’ flashback story of the Great War between the gods and the Titans. Hades was able to grapple onto the mighty Titan Atlas and absorb his soul. Before this occurred, however, Hades was in the process of capturing Cronos’ soul before Atlas intervened by hurling pieces of mountain at him and doing the Atlas Quake.
It is unclear whether or not Hades did in fact collect the souls of any other Titan, including Cronos. It can also be noted that the spikes on his body or the helmet Hades wore may have also been used to an advantage in the battle.
