Summary
Hadesand its sequel put you into the shoes of Greek gods wading through the underworld, against and for your titular father, but what if Supergiant dabbled in Christianity instead?
That’s exactly what artist andTwitchstreamer WolfyTheWitch has imagined with their Hades-style rendition ofJesus Christ. We see him in his iconic white robes and crown of thorns holding a sheep on his back as he talks to Zagreus, offering a few fittingly themed blessings - Three Days, Living Water, and Communion Bread.
Hello stranger! I seem to be a bit lost, could you point me the way out?
Of course, this means that Jesus somehow got stranded in Greek Hell (apparently he went looking for his lost sheep and “took a wrong turn”), but let’s sidestep those implications for a minute to appreciate this faithful take on what the King of Kings would look like in a Supergiant game.
Fans Have Also Imagined The 10th Doctor And Kratos As Hades Characters
One fan has broughtDavid Tennant’s Doctor Whoto the world of Hades, crash landing into the Underworld in his grungy old TARDIS.
“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect… but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly… timey-wimey… stuff,” he says to a no doubt dumbfounded Zagreus who is off-screen whacking things with a big stick.
According to artist Nipuni, if The Doctor were in Hades, his boon would be Regeneration, a Time Lord ability that allows them to cheat death by completely rebuilding their bodies into essentially new people with the same memories. Game mechanics-wise, you’d replenish your Death Defiance but randomise your current boons.
And then we have Kratos, theGod of Warhimself. He isn’t arealGreek god, but he’s part of a fictionalised version of the pantheon. Although, these days he’s busy mucking about in Asgard.
Artist Patrick Gañas doesn’t say what powers Kratos would bestow upon Zagreus, but thankfully it’s the soft reboot version of the character and not his old Spartan self. Something tells methe original wouldn’t hesitateto lop the head off Hades' son.
