'''[[Franchise/MortalKombat Johnny Cage]], God of {{Groin Attack}}s''' (John Carlton, Uncle Johnny - by Jacqui, Best Choice, Sex Machine)

** He's extremely proud that his daughter [[spoiler:basically saved the world by beating the crap out of Shinnok ''after'' he absorbed the power of the Jinsei and hulked out into a giant bone monster]]. He and his ex-wife along subsequently worked with Son Gohan to first bring Cassie into the Pantheon via Gohan's seat, then to bring Jax's daughter along via a new temple for {{military brat}}s once Gohan was ready to take his place back. Jacqui and Cassie passed this along to make sure Kung Jin and Takeda would ascend as well, to which Johnny and Sonya congratulated Cassie for the quartet's ascension, a job well done on all fronts. In addition to this, Gohan and Cassie were able to arrange a meeting between Johnny and Son Goku where the two spoke candidly with each other and got along pretty well. Cage would even meet Goku halfway on his disapproval of the Nut Cracker technique by heartily laughing it off and promising not to use it on him if they spar. No such luck with Vegeta and Bulma, though, who refuses to have anything to do with him.

* Some people says that he has the potential to become the greatest human combatant to ever live and/or that he became immortal. While he is flattered by this rumors, he has yet to confirm (or deny) them.

* While doing a shoot at the Big Blue, Johnny Cage proclaimed that the upcoming Captain Falcon film will star himself as the titular racer/hero. Said racer/hero provoked by the actor's choice of words describing the role, insists that Cage show Falcon his moves; to bear the honor of even ''pretending'' to be the Falcon, he must first defeat the real deal. Cage decided they would duke it out...in a simulated battlefield arranged by [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Wiz and Boomstick]]; [[GoodVersusGood both being heroes]], there was no need for unnecessary deaths. [[spoiler:Johnny lost the battle, and was forced to recant his claim]].

** That said, things with Liu and Kitana have gone plenty sour. [[spoiler:It's bad enough they embraced being wraiths and became the rulers of Netherrealm, but they had to go and insult his daughter too.]] Fortunately, things were repaired after [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 Kronika's arranged crossover between their Midway and Timeline X selves resulted in Liu and Kitana returning to good as the main architects of the Korrected Timeline]]]].

* A group of Pokemon that bring to mind musketeers (especially four certain ones), these four are known for using their horns as swords. Three of the members, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, function as something of the core of the team, and Keldeo serves as arguably the honorary member of that group. By learning another sword-based move, Keldeo is also capable of changing appearance, but it's Resolute Form will only show as long as that move is in its usable repertoire. The Resolute Form seems to be more for show than anything.
* Cobalion, Terrakion, & Virizion had fought in a war against humans to protect Pokemon. The three, Cobalion in particular, grew a dislike towards humans as a result of that. Though they've possibly softened their stance since then, they still are wary of humans who have less-than-noble goals in mind. Even then, the three have no interest in associating with those who detest humans entirely.

** They have become friends with Aegislash given that they are sword-themed Pokemon (Aegislash being an actual sword) that are capable of using Sacred Sword.
* Aside from physical combat, [[ExtraOreDinary Cobalion]], [[DishingOutDirt Terrakion]], [[GreenThumb Virizion]], and [[MakingASplash Keldeo]] are capable of other elemental powers. They are sometimes seen with other heroic deities that are capable of using the same powers as them. Naturally, these Pokemon are also opposed to those who use these same elements as them for less-than-noble means.

*** Even Keldeo got involved with that adventure as well. It was a friend of Virizion that time and having found out about what happened then, he tried to protect Virizion from trouble. This ended up making Virizion bitter, though that Pokemon did get better later on.
* Unsurprisingly, the quartet all hold contempt towards Ghetsis due to his low opinion of Pokemon and how he embodies some of the worst aspects of humanity that made Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion resent humans initially. Somewhat more surprising is that they and Keldeo are more incensed with the fact that Ghetsis tried to use Kyurem to freeze over Unova.
* All of these Pokemon have an intense hatred of those who are willing to cause war just for the fun of it. Even if it's not clear as to why the war the four got involved with even happened, the fact that there are warmongers in the Pantheon is enough for the quartet to remember the bad memories of that prior war.
* Since one of the presumed causes of that war was Pokemon being at risk, the four have become wary of humans who are willing to harm creatures for their own sake such as Cruella de Vil.

* Dinosaurs are a rather common sight in the Pantheon given the nature of that world and Bonk has had encounters with a good number of them. Of these dinos, Bonk took a strong liking to Rampardos, a pachy whose main method of attack is headbutting others much like Bonk, complete with variations of that move to help the Pokemon in combat. Further enhancing their friendship was that Bonk initially encountered Rampardos being targeted by ruthless hunters that wanted parts of the Pokemon so that they could sell it for money and Bonk fended off the hunters, with Rampardos aiding the caveman after it was freed from the trap it was in. Following that battle, Rampardos has become a partner for Bonk’s many adventures in the Pantheon as a powerhouse partner for when meat isn’t enough to increase Bonk’s capabilities.

* SitcomArchnemesis: [[Pantheon/CombatOther Krillin]]
* After “hanging” with Neptune and The CPUS for a while in the House of Gaming, Yellow Heart suddenly felt like something was missing. She did not need to make Johnny Turbo Her Herald. She had her very own mascot, and He hadn’t even ascended. So, She summoned the Council and requested that they ascend a certain caveman with an oversized head. They heeded Her request, after [[ShowSomeLeg showing some leg]], and when that failed, begging really hard. - Ascension, 19:89
* Bonk, after he found himself out of bed and under the arc, proceeded to make his way to the House of Food. He was met by Popeye, who, seeing an opportunity, offered him some spinach. [[NoodleIncident No one is really quite sure what Bonk transformed into afterwards]], but either way Popeye finally found someone who liked it.
* Soon afterwards, Bonk decided to say hello to Mario. The two got along rather well. While Bonk is the PC-Engine’s mascot, he's been on Nintendo systems far longer than that. Besides that, some of the more scientifically minded in the Pantheon want to see him eat a Super Mushroom.
* Bonk can occasionally be seen with a SlasherSmile. if you see him with this, note that he’s not dangerous... unless you provoke him, as one of his enemies found out. Krillin got fed up with constantly being confused with Bonk and decided to challenge him, but soon afterwards he found that he wasn’t willing to listen. Bonk ended up repeatedly jumping and headbutting Krillin in the face.
* Bonk, however, when outside of this form, is rather friendly. This backfired on him when he tried to be friends with Riptor. He soon found that she's not the kind of friendly dinosaur he often met back in OneMillionBC. Far from it.
* Despite Johnny Turbo's acrimonious relationship with the Gaming pantheon, Bonk remains friends with him to this day due to him being an old ally at NEC during the console wars of the early 90's.

* [[Pantheon/{{Heroes}} K']] took his sunglasses and threw them to Shao Kahn in order to deliver the ''Chain Drive'' on him. Cage is not happy with this.
