I agree with Chris' first view: Cronus doesn't have as much feeling for Mark, seeing as he went off and had another family, while refusing to acknowledge Mark. While Cronus certainly treats Mark far better than RI treats Ken (no 'beat my son bloody' moments) he's still a bit too cocky and arrogant for my tastes. However Cronus did pick up Mark, spin him in a circle and throw him across the room.
As for the inconsistencies, they're there because of the order in which Sandy Frank received the Gatchaman episodes (i.e. completely out of order). SF had no idea of the overall storyline, and was just going with the flow of what they received. This led to some inconsistencies when early on they dealt with the 'Cronus but actually Zoltar' episode (where it was stated that the real Cronus had been killed by Spectra) and then long after that had to deal with the reappearance of Cronus, which they did in one case by pretending it wasn't Cronus (the planes belonged to another alien planet's defense force) and later by just 'forgetting' that Cronus was supposed to be dead. Then, when Cronus actually *should* have died, flying a rocket up into the atmosphere, Zark tells us that he ejected. In space. Riiiiight.
Oh yeah, and let's not forget that episode where Red Rangers show up and they claim that one of them is Cronus... when visually, it's clearly not. 
Jason's site has some great information on all of this, but unfortunately I believe it's down at the moment. He hasn't been able to deal with the administration during his illness.
