"Quora" is considerably worse than Wikipedia as a source, since any Tom, Dick or Harry can write more or less anything there. Just now, I saw a statement that some Hindus regard Krishna as an avatar of Kali, while Radha in the same scenario is Shiva. Note the gender-swapping!
No idea if this is true, but it wouldn´t surprise me a bit. The picture above (also posted on Quora) illustrates this syncretism, with Kali and Krishna fused into the same deity. At least I *think* that´s what´s going on here...
There are certainly Shaktas who regard Krishna as Kali´s child. Pun maybe intended.
