* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/TimePlacement S.E.E.S. Team]]
* Feared by: The other Greco-Roman deities, even [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Zeus]]. Also [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Brody Foxx]].
* According to the Greeks, there was nothing but chaos at the beginning; an unfashioned formless mass. Out of it emerged the Primordial deities, embodiments of basic concepts. One such was Nyx, or Nox as known by the Romans. The primordial of the night, she was married to her brother Erebus, the darkness. Though rarely seen, she is someone of such great and terrible power that even Zeus dares not to anger her.
* By all accounts HappilyMarried to Erebus, but of her many children, only Aether (the heavenly air) and Hemera (day) were sired by him. The vast majority of her children are the result of [[TrulySingleParent parthenogenesis]]. They are the "daimones", [[AnthropomorphicPersonification embodiments of concepts]] like sleep and discord. [[MamaBear She cares deeply for them]], and has [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} entered the Battleground of the Gods]] for their sake. She comes off as [[MsFanservice very attractive]], but it should be pointed out [[HumanoidAbomination her true nature is MUCH different]].
* In her Smite incarnation, she has chosen her Roman name and fights as a Ranged Mage. It's not like there's any real difference between the two versions anyway. Though normally not one to mess with, when gameplay purposes cause her to lose [[HumiliationConga it's not a dignified sight]]. She wields a candelbra. Sometimes likes to cosplay as the Statue of Liberty.
* One of a handful of Greek gods Kratos never encountered, only seeing a statue of her. He did kill the Fates, Thanatos and Charon, along with her granddaughter Erinys. While not caring much about her nephew [[BrotherSisterIncest Ouranos/Cronus' line]], she has sworn to crush him like a bug.
* The Endless recognize Nox as being similar to their own mother Night. She notices the similarities as, like her own children, they are embodiments of concepts and truly ancient. They aren't her kids, but she does seem somewhat fond of them. She is also fond of other [[TheGrimReaper grim reapers]] due to reminding her of Thanatos and the Keres.
* As the goddess of the night, she has influence in the House of Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow. [[TrueNeutral Neither good nor evil]], she cares for the night deities regardless of alignment. She seems particularly fond of Nightmare Moon due to her desire to bring a never-ending night. However, she does not oppose the light or daytime deities. After all, her daughter Hemera ''is'' the day. Well, unless they mess with her or her kids.
* Dwells in Tartarus during the day, [[GeniusLoci who happens to be]] her brother. Unlike most denizens, she doesn't mind the literally hellish conditions and is on good terms with him. Unlike him, she prefers a humanoid form, [[HotGod and a very attractive one]]. She's friendly towards her other brother Chronos as well.
* Spawned from chaos, one might think that she is the child of the Chaos King Amatsu-Mikaboshi. This isn't the case and opposes its desire for [[OmnicidalManiac cosmic destruction]] like almost everyone else. She is more accepting of the idea that the chaos is [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Azathoth]], who fits the "[[EldritchAbomination unfashioned, shapeless mass]]" that Hesoid described. [[HumanoidAbomination Highlighting Nox's true nature]] and maternal feelings are her friendship with Shub-Niggurath.
* Utterly disgusted by Apophis. While a being of primal night, the monster seeks nothing less than [[OmnicidalManiac the complete destruction of the world]]. Nox represents TheSacredDarkness, and hates the idea of both her position being disgraced by his evil and that he'd target her kids. She opposes Nekron for being another extremely negative arbiter of cosmic nightfall.
* It should be noted that [[TrueNeutral she doesn't take sides by rule]], whether you be Primordial, Titan, Olympian, mortal or demi-god. Just don't trespass on her territory [[MamaBear or hurt her kids]]. If [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Percy Jackson]] and [[Pantheon/MaleAndFemaleTraits Annabeth Chase]] are to be believed she's somewhat of an AttentionWhore, [[spoiler:which is how they were able to get pass her]].
* Would like to remind the S.E.E.S crew that no, she is not the same Nyx as the one they faced. Also, she has no relation to [[Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality the other Nox]] or the [[Franchise/ResidentEvil blob-like B.O.W.]]. Nor does she have a connection to [[Pantheon/GeneticEngineering the Tenno's Nyx]], who only shares a gender with her. Though she seems curious about the Warframe Equinox, however, due to being themed after night and day.

* Domains: Parents, Idiocy, Embarrassment

* Allies: Homer Simpson, [[Pantheon/AIPersonalities Bender]], [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Liane Cartman]], [[Pantheon/NicknamesAndRenames Chef]], [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Barney Gumble]], [[Pantheon/FriendShipDynamicsAtoL Jay and Silent Bob]], [[Pantheon/ExtrovertCharacterization Snoop Dog]]
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction The Guinea Creatures]], [[Pantheon/CriminalActions Walter]] [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil White]]
* Opposed by: ''Every single good Pantheon/{{Disney}} deity'', the House of Pantheon/LawAndJustice, [[Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} Peter Parker/]][[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Spider-Man]], [[Pantheon/MedicalConditions Christie and Bonnie Plunkett]]
* Mixed Relations: [[Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat The New Kid]]
* Banned from: The House of Pantheon/{{Sports}} and Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery
* While it's common for kids to see their parents as embarrassing, Stan's dad, Randy Marsh, takes this idea to a whole new level. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Despite starting out as one of the few somewhat level-headed adults in South Park]], Randy regularly gets himself involved in all sorts of zany schemes and situations: all of which embarrass Stan to no end. From getting into drunken fights with other dads at his son's little league games, to saying a racial slur on national television and getting testicular cancer on purpose just to legally buy marijuana, Randy's constant antics serve as a regular source of shame for Stan and his family. Seeing his long list of embarrassing misadventures, the gods deemed Randy to be a shoe-in for the title of AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent.
* Stan wouldn't be made aware of his father's ascension until one day when reports were floating around about a man high on drugs roundhouse kicking [[Pantheon/{{Officers}} Officer Wiggum]] after he and other police officers attempted to arrest him for selling cocaine. Apparently, he was shouting "I thought this was America!" (despite it indeed not being America) as they forced him into a police car. Despite knowing immediately who this was, Stan went to the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions just to be sure. Predictably, he was greeted by a now detained Randy, who nonchalantly greeted his son before immediately asking him to pay for bail. [[FacePalm Stan just looked down and pinched the bridge of his nose]] before silently walking away.
* It should be said that despite all of his faults, Randy, for the most part, isn't a bad parent and genuinely does care about his family above all. Granted, he is prone to prioritize his latest obsession over them, particularly Tegridy Farms.
* He's currently fighting to legalize the sale of cocaine. As of now, the movement has made no progress, given the generally greater intelligence of the Pantheon's populace when compared to that of South Park's. This hasn't stopped him from constantly protesting outside of the House of Pantheon/LawAndJustice.
* The New Kid had conflicting feelings about Randy's ascension. While he is still grateful for helping him breaking out of the Grey Aliens' ship, he's also still a bit uncomfortable around him after he drunkenly attacked him and Coon and Friends.
* Being his former high priest and fellow embarrassing parent, Randy managed to become good drinking buddies with Homer Simpson. The two are often seeing getting hammered at Moe's Tavern along with fellow beer enthusiast Bender. These get togethers always lead to the trio getting into some sort of shenanigans.
* He's often seen wandering outside of his temple absolutely hammered and generally making a fool of himself. Despite this, he vehemently denies that he's an alcoholic, earning him the ire of recovering alcoholics Christie and Blonnie Pluckett.
* Takes pride in the massive shits he's able to take, to the point that he insisted on having his most legendary one be kept in Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury. Of course, the gods denied Randy's request for obvious reasons. Being Randy, he refused to take no for an answer and attempted to break into the house with his massive shit on hand to put on display. Unfortunately for him, other deities anticipated as much and had him apprehended by the police before he got far.
* Given his business in selling quality marijuana, Randy has gained the approval of stoners such as Jay and Silent Bob, as well as Snoop Dog, all of whom openly endorsed Tegridy Farms' weed on more than one occasion.
* Since he expanded Tegridy Farms into the cocaine market, Randy found himself a foe in Walter White. On top of being business rivals, Walter is absolutely insulted that a destructive idiot like Randy made it big in the drug industry, insisting that he only got as far as he did because of dumb luck and how stupid the people that populate his world are. Randy, meanwhile, has no idea why someone in the drug dealing business is so stressed out. That said, he tries to keep his distance, [[EvenEvilHasStandards because even Randy thinks Walter is pretty fucked up]].
* Because of his tendency to get into drunken fights with fans of rival teams, Randy is forbidden from attending any sports sporting events held in the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}. On a similar note, he's banned from the House of Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery after he showed off his "cock magic" to its residents.
* Spider-Man wants nothing to do with Randy [[Recap/SouthParkS15E11BroadwayBroDown after he accidentally flooded a Broadway theater whilst donning the Spider-Man costume]].
* Ever since he viciously murdered his version of [[Pantheon/TypesOfPopularity Winnie the Pooh]], Randy earned the scorn of ''every'' good Disney deity in the Pantheon. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Hell, even a few of the Disney villains were disgusted by Randy]]. Despite Randy's insistence that the Chinese government was to blame, [[NeverMyFault since he only did it to get in their good graces for the sake of Tegridy Farms]], he's forbidden from stepping within a 10 mile radius of Pooh or any other resident of 100 Acre Woods.
** Tired of all of the dirty looks he was getting from Disney deities, Randy took his grievances to Mickey Mouse, expecting him to take his side. Unfortunately for him, not only was Mickey not the CorruptCorporateExecutive that his South Park counterpart was, [[BewareTheNiceOnes but was even scarier]] [[PapaWolf when it came to his friends]]; having left Randy a bleeding, sobbing mess.
* Despite his faults and reckless idiocy, Randy does care about his family above all else and will readily beat the crap out of anyone that speaks ill of them. Given his tendency to take things like these [[SeriousBusiness way too seriously]], Stan avoids mentions any conflicts that he may have in the Pantheon, lest Randy gets involved and needlessly escalates things.

* Opposes: All ascended cat and spider gods, the House of Crime
* Opposed by: Homer Simpson
* Professor Utonium is a brilliant scientist in the once crime-ridden city of Townsville. Hoping to bring some happiness and comfort into his life, he planned to create the perfect little girls using sugar, spice and everything else. An accidental dose of Chemical X resulted in the girls coming alive with superpowers, becoming the Powerpuff Girls. Though artificial creations, the Professor [[FatherlyScientist treats them like his biological daughters]] and loves them dearly. He and the Powerpuff Girls were glad to meet each other in the pantheon.
* Back in the day, Mojo Jojo used to be a troublesome assistant chimp called Jojo. The two have [[ItsPersonal a rather complicated relationship]], and was the one who broke his vial of Chemical X which resulted in both the girls having powers and Mojo Jojo's super-intelligence. Because of this he's also the girls' "father", but it's only brought up to aggravate him.
* His first name is unknown, so people usually refer to him by the Professor. [[Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ According to one source]] his first name is Drake.
* He is essentially the GoodCounterpart to Relius Clover. The two are expert scientists and fathers, however while the Professor treats his creations as family, Relius sees his own family as tools for experimentation. He's expressed a disgust towards [[TrulySingleParent the truly single parent]] Father for his treatment of the Homunculi, and considers the fact they're [[LiteralSplitPersonality aspects of himself]] a sign of immense self-loathing. In general, he isn't a fan of cruel parents or evil scientists. Being in the same house, he's put his focus on Dr Wily. The most positive thing he can say about the man is that he's got some odd fondness for his creations [[Pantheon/AntiVillains Bass]] and [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Zero]], but it doesn't justify his actions or [[Pantheon/AIPersonalities the psychopathic Omega]].
* There isn't a Mrs Utonium, something of which he often feels lonely about. He once dated Sedusa, who used him to stop the Powerpuff Girls' heroism. This experience has led him to go against [[GoldDigger gold diggers]] and [[FetishizedAbuser horrible girlfriends]] like Lady Tremaine and Raynare.
* The Professor is a very passionate and loving father, and is determined to raise his daughters the best he can. However, he can get rather overprotective of them, such as setting up elaborate situations to teach them morals. And the less said about his Dynamo mech, the better. Often spends time conversing with Son Chichi. Like Utonium, she can get a tad obsessive about protecting her incredibly powerful children and [[EducationMama trying to raise them]]. Both are deeply respected by and deeply care for their kids, though. Has been trying to protect artificial kids out of his fatherly instincts, such as Yui and Astro Boy. He does sometimes cause trouble for Astro Boy however, though this is just because he's worried he might try to date one of his girls.
* Looks an awful lot like Samurai Jack. He believes that the former is an ancestor of his, and has offered his assistance with the girls to stop Aku. Is a big fan of silent movies, pancakes and golf. He tries to avoid not getting too obsessed over golf anymore, as it led the Powerpuff Girls to steal a perfect set of clubs to help out. He's tried to be a superhero or fighter in his own right, [[DistressedDude but often needs his kids to save him]].
* Is a brilliant inventor, having developed technology such as time travel, body switching machines and containment fields. However, his greatest inventions were accidental or the result of some mistake, which has given him some angst. The girls have managed to make him feel better by pointing out numerous great inventions like penicillin were accidental in origin. He's making more progress working with fellow kind-hearted scientists and inventors. He has a FriendlyRivalry with both Dr Light and Dexter. With Dr Light, they're very similar in attitudes to their creations and kind fathers, but still wish to prove to one another who's the best. With Dexter, he's the other famous Cartoon Network scientist.
* His experiences with [[TheSociopath Dick Hardly]] lead him to dislike people like [[FalseFriend Felix]], and has warned Gharnef to back off after trying to steal his Chemical X. These experiences also lead him to try and protect Kotetsu T Kaburagi so he won't be exploited. Naturally, he's no fan of unscrupled scientists and inventors like Ryoma Sengoku.
* Does not like cats. He was mind-controlled by one, and as such cannot trust them or let any near him. It's this distaste that broke his relationship to Ms Keane. At the very least, it led to him getting along with Nibbler who agrees most cats are shifty, devious creatures. He's terrified of [[SpidersAreScary spiders]] in any form, which leads him to steer clear of the House of Insects(and insists that since they're arachnids, they shouldn't be in that house). He's not sure whom to be more frightened of; Arachne, mother of [[SpiderPeople spiders]] or Ungoliant, [[AnimalisticAbomination the abominable arachnid]]. The Powerpuff Girls are doing their best to hide the fact that the Overdeity [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Chakravartin]] has his Golden Spider Form.
* In spite of his arachnophobia, even he thinks [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Billy's]] fear of spiders and [[AbusiveParents treatment of his friendly spider son]] [[EveryoneHasStandards goes too far]]. Generally he doesn't like the boy due to his extreme stupidity. He's also accepting of [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Peter Parker]] due to being merely spider-themed rather than an actual spider.
* Given he had the chemical knowledge to create the perfect little girls, one would imagine that he is a decent cook. And they're be right...unless it's about chili, [[LethalChef which he cannot cook for his life]]. During the pantheon's chili cook off, Homer Simpson was on the scene to judge the participants. When he tried the Professors', Homer [[INeedAFreakingDrink had to drink way more beer than before]] and passed out drunk, but not before declaring it "the worst chili of all time". He's sworn to get back at the Professor for the awful taste. He did manage to make a better chili next time with Chemical X, however the resultant methane [[{{Fartillery}} it gained a life of its own and became homicidal]]. It took [[Pantheon/FightingStyles the Kid]] to save the day from an exceedingly ignoble end.
* Tries to insist to the Powerpuff Girls he likes liver and onions, so as to get them to eat it. In truth he hates the stuff and wants to come off as more adult.
* You can find Professor Utonium working in [[Pantheon/{{Science}} the House of Science]].

* Joseph "Joe" Bucket is the paternal grandfather of Charlie Bucket, living in an impoverished MultigenerationalHousehold. Bedridden and dispassionate, learned of Willy Wonka's golden ticket plan gave him hope and he would give his grandson what little money he had to buy a chocolate bar in the hopes of getting it. Ultimately Charlie managed to find a golden ticket, and Grandpa Joe was invited to join him in the tour. Eventually Charlie proved himself worthy of being Wonka's heir, to the benefit of the family as a whole.
* Isn't just a kind and doting grandfather to Charlie Bucket, but a dedicated friend. The idea of the Child Abuse Supporters sickens him to his core, while the Heroic Protectors of Family are a group he wholeheartedly approves of. Grandpa Joe is notably friendly with Arnold Shortman due to being raised by his grandfather, and being a generally nice person as a whole. It's thought that Grandpa Joe wants to see his grandfather ascend to the pantheon.
* Among the oldest non-immortal [[LongLived or something close]] deities in the pantheon, being 96 and a half. Aemon is still older in him being a centenarian, which is even more impressive given the medieval setting he comes from. Being a hard worker and a kind soul, Grandpa Joe respects Maester Aemon. Absolutely does not respect the ([[VagueAge probably]]) 104 year old Mr Burns for being a cruel, greedy rich man and is someone he hopes his grandson never grows up to be like.
* His contempt for Mr Burns led him to meet Abraham Simpson, who's contempt for Mr. Burns goes back to the Flying Hellfish days. Sometimes they like swapping stories, however Grandpa Joe thinks Abe can be a jerk and [[AbusiveParents his parenting skills are lacking]]. To Grandpa Simpson's credit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he cares deep down]] and does get along better with his grandchildren. Given his prior condition before Charlie got the golden ticket.
* Grandpa Simpson pointed out that, while a good person [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory he can be somewhat of a dick]] (though [[AdaptationalJerkass mainly in adaptation]]). Infamously his theft of fizzy lifting drink almost got him and Charlie mulched by the ceiling fan before they burped it out. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxMNlZ8WFw Learning what would've happened if they didn't]] through the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality has made Grandpa Joe afraid of those who use propellers and fans in a deadly manner.
* Having been formerly poor, he is sympathetic towards Oliver Twist. He is also fond of Uravity, who's poor but among rich folk and has a good heart. He is somewhat sympathetic towards Chester A Bum given his situation, however Chester isn't all there in the head and can sometimes get on Grandpa Joe's nerves. He'll at least give him his CHANGE! when asked.
* On the opposite end of things, he doesn't have anything good to say about the Reagans or Princess Morbucks for being spoiled, elitists pricks. Or Conal Cochran [[MayContainEvil given his products]]. Grandpa Joe considers the Dursleys rather annoying for being unpleasant guardians with an anal-retentive obsession with normalcy.
* Because of his advanced age, he was the only elderly member of the family who didn't get screwed over by the FountainOfYouth when his compatriots overdosed on the Wonka-Vites. While this could mean he would have a lot less to worry about from Alessi, Grandpa Joe stays the hell away from him due to being an uber-creepy PsychoForHire for [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Dio Brando]]. And he doesn't want [[WouldHurtAChild him]] anywhere near Charlie Bucket.
* His opposition towards Alessi got him the attention of Joseph Joestar, another grandfather in the pantheon. Grandpa Joe felt he was quite a storyteller, but he was amazed by the bizarre adventures Joseph had and he soon came around to the guy's playful nature. He wishes he had half the passion Joseph had when he was in his late sixties. Alessi bemoaned this; [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture given the last time he used Sethan on an old man]], he doesn't want two invigorated men beating his ass.
* Gets along with seniors Colonel Sanders and Uncle Iroh to some extent. More of a general respect, especially with the former who's dedicated to hard work. He seems friendly with Spike and Tim Drake due to their role as heroic sidekicks, much like he is a deeply caring sidekick to his grandson. Grandpa Joe also holds an interest in Princess Bubblegum due to her leading role over the Candy Kingdom, as he wonders if she's like Willy Wonka and what it could do for Charlie.
* Absolutely hates Grandfather for being [[GruesomeGrandparent everything a grandfather SHOULD NOT be]], [[AbusiveParents or a father for that matter]]. Plus Joe [[DoesNotLikeSpam finds tapioca disgusting]]. Of course being an ordinary old man, Grandfather only ever has to be concerned with Joe when in his decommisioned state.
