–-Modi taunting Atreus | ||
Template:Infobox godsModi is a god and antagonist in God of War (2018).
Personality
Modi, like his brother, is very cruel and sadistic. He has along with Magni had threatened Mimir by removing his eye for not helping the trio on their quest for the Spartan and his son.
He is extremely crude, as he insults Faye many times, calling her ugly, a whore, and even implying he had slept with her, not to mention thinking out loud why would an ugly woman be with Kratos. These insults would infuriate Atreus and cause him to act rashly. Ultimately, these insults would motivate an enraged Atreus to kill him.
Much like his brother, but far more so, Modi is utterly desperate to please and impress his father, the legendary Thor and earn the right to wield his hammer.
Only after his beloved, yet rival, brother's death did he become scared of his father and of Kratos, leaving him in fear for his life. He also displays a cowardly side as well when he ambushed Kratos and Atreus after his brother's death and ran when Kratos shrugged through his lightning attack.
Weapons and Powers
Superhuman Strength - As the son of Thor, Modi possesses godly strength, though not to the same extent as his brother or father.
Durability - Modi is extremely durable, taking extreme punishment from Kratos and Atreus's attacks. He even takes damage using his shield.
Electrokinesis - Due to being a son of Thor, Modi has a perfect affinity with lightning and electricity, as he is able to generate electricity from his body, thus allowing him to send strong electrical shocks through his mace and others on contact. The power of his lightning is enough to drop Kratos to his knees for a few moments but once Kratos gave into his rage the lightning no longer had any effect on him.
Trivia
- In Norse Mythology, Magni and Modi are mentioned among the survivors of Ragnarok.
- Modi is the second god in God of War (2018) to be killed, but not by Kratos, but his son Atreus.
- After Magni's death, he states that he "earned that fucking Hammer, now everyone's gonna think I only got it 'cause Magni's gone", implying he and his brother were rivals to earn Thor's Hammer to replace him and it's speculated that Modi wouldn't truly win Thor's position but, rather, due to Magni's death, would get it by default.
- Modi during the ambush of Kratos tells Atreus not to worry about his father, because he was going to make Atreus his new brother to replace Magni. What this meant and for what purpose is unknown.
- He probably simply want to provoke Atreus.
- Thor beat Modi to a bloody pulp for believing he left his brother behind like a coward, which was not strictly true.
- Modi's name literally means "brave," which is quite ironic considering his instances of cowardly behavior.
