What about Kratos? He looks as unique as it gets. And he is the only guy who managed to destroy the whole world. That should mean something.

Some would argue that Kratos is more generic than Drake. Before the boom of the Uncharted series, he was probably Sony's most memorable character (behind once PlayStation-only heroes like Crash and Spyro, and still behind PlayStation exclusive character Cloud), but since Among Thieves, I'd say Kratos is eclipsed already.

Generic?

Doen´t generic mean it is something typical, something that has been done over and over again? Well if that is the case then how is Kratos generic?

And an iconic character should be somebody who is bigger then the game he is in. Like Super Mario, Sub-Zero & Scorpion, Kirby etc. Most of the named characters have iconic games but are not iconic characters per se. For example you could make Uncharted without Nathan Drake. I know many people would be pissed off but it would be basically the same game just with a black guy instead for example. But the whole God of War franchise would be upside down if you throw Kratos out of God of War.
