** There were actually talks by Lady Tremaine and [[Pantheon/{{Music}} Courtney Gears]] in staging a coup against Maleficent, citing her VillainDecay and showing genuine empathy towards others. [[SocialClimber Tremaine]] cites that, under her control, the Disney Villains would overthrow Melkor and begin an all-destructive war against the GUAG and GUAL with herself as Empress, simply to spite Cinderella. [[PsychoSupporter Gears]] is in because it's an excuse to eliminate organic life forms for Dr. Nefarious and the GUAM. So far, there's been no attempts; Maleficent still has her supporters, after all.

* Maleficent is the leader of a group of Disney villains controlling the Heartless who aim to purge their universes with the darkness and rule their remains. The group's official members besides Maleficent are Pete, Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Oogie Boogie and Captain Hook, while unofficial members (whom Pete tried to recruit) include Shan Yu, [[Pantheon/{{Family}} Scar]], Courtney Gears, and Jadis.

* Even with his criminal record, there are lines he has drawn never to cross, among which was drugs. Believe it or not, the person who ruined him in the war who killed his friends did it for drugs, since then he has a personal line that he puts when it comes to those around him, and he proved it, by interrupting a drug trade at one point. Unbeknownst to Niko, that was a package from the Salamancas, of which news came to Hector and ordered a hit to him, to which it did not succeed. Many people were shocked that he managed to anger one of the most dangerous drug cartels to have ever graced the Pantheon, but to him, it is one of the things he is admittedly good at and some argue that the drugs thing with Darko Brevic may have made it personal for him. This is also what got him into Jesse Pinkman's eyes, seeing a great deal of similarity with him due to their forced relations in the life of crime, and eventual escape, though the Slav has envied that Jesse managed to escape his life with a bright future, where as he is not so lucky.

* One of the few identities Edmond took upon himself following his escape from Chateau d'If was Sinbad the Sailor, of which tells of a merchant who sails the high sees in hopes of opening new trade routes and earning riches across the whole world. As he had to build his riches, it would make sense why he would take such mantle, however less so in the Pantheon, as the ''actual'' Sinbad has heard of what Edmond has done in his tenure as "Sinbad". Now the Count has no issue with the merchant and has used his moniker to gain enough riches to save one of his most loyal companies from bankruptcy and suicide which impressed him but has told him to be careful when using his moniker in the Pantheon, as it would end up mixing up between him and the real deal. He has taken the warning to heart and has used is less in his tenure in the Pantheon.

* To the surprise of many, there is more to her [[Film/{{Maleficent}} story]] then people realize. It was dubbed as an alternate version of Maleficent, where Maleficent became something more of an {{Anti Hero}}ine and growing to love Aurora as a surrogate mother, but at cost of [[AdaptationalVillainy the villainy of Aurora's father King Stefan]] and there has been rumors that [[VideoGame/DisneyInfinity she was spotted fighting alongside]] Jack Sparrow, [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Wreck-It Ralph]], [[Pantheon/HardwareAndSoftware Vanellope von Schweetz]], [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Princess Anna]] and [[Pantheon/IceAndCold Queen Elsa]] and ''even [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Captain America]]''. It was not known how much will this affect the Mistress of Evil, but some Disney Villainesses like the Evil Queen and Lady Tremaine has been seen gossiping about plotting to replace Maleficent as the top Disney Villainess in the Pantheon using these facts.

* Not all of Niko's experience is a tragedy, as thanks to Roman's connections, he is able to hang out and do weird stuff around the Pantheon, which he is no stranger to. Many of these weird gimmicks include Roman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVQyYJ8Rl7o bowling obosession]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=568nxrzjO6o culminating in "dirty business"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXDKLEFghSQ his attempts at being a cabbage farmer]], an odd obsession with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Ww6lzrmzg YELLOW CARS!]] while drunk and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6bv85hoQBM a brawl against his cousin]]. These string of events has led to an improved morale for him, even if it is for a short while.

* Many deities are rather proud of their ascensions, though Niko is not one of them. Having dealt with the mired mess that is Liberty City, he has his reservations and doubts regarding the "new life". Having been sucked out to America for the UsefulNotes/TheAmericanDream, it is understandable, which makes him a rather odd one out as he tries to adapt to the Pantheon lifestyle, but can't seem to find a good footing for himself. This is normal for him, as he's not really someone who can blend in with the rest, and can often stick out very easily, ask Roman, as he has gotten into trouble thanks to his cousin's presence. In addition, being placed within the House of Revenge and Retribution made things more sour for him, as he is a very vengeful man and has not hesitated in stopping his revenge once he's targeted someone. Overall, he's very mixed on ascension as a whole.

** As one the main Guardians, Dantès' relationship with his fellow representatives is of highly mixed reactions. He may be an advocator of revenge and forgiveness, but some vengeful acts are understandable and others not so much. The ones he sympathizes are Niko Bellic and Sakura Matou, as their acts are equal to the suffering they have dealt with and while Sakura gets the better half, Niko's life has never improved, even when meeting (and either killing or sparing) Darko, who was the sole person responsible for his friends' ambush. Maleficent and Borden and Angier are the ones he has great opposition with, as the former's revenge was not of equal measure, dare he calls it petty, while the two magicians' actions is something he never considered in his time of vengeance, since no one from the opposing families ever laid a finger on him or his bloodlines. If anything, the magicians' repeated acts have shown [[CycleOfRevenge a nasty side effect]] that even he never thought of.

* A showdown of epic proportions was brewing in the House of Vengeance. Two deities held the title God of Revenge: The Count of Monte Cristo and Dan. And neither of them were willing to share. Things boiled over when Dan's car and Edmond's carriage crashed into each other. Both swore revenge, delivering every prank and dirty trick imaginable over a period of days. In a showdown in the House of Nature, Dan emerged victorious, tossing a batter Count into a river. Thus, Dan laid claim to the title himself.
* But that would not be the end of the Count. A couple months was all it took for the Count to enact the most sadistic, debilitating and downright cruel plot of revenge the Pantheon had ever seen. The Court of the Gods had no choice but to hand it over to the Count once more. And yet the Count saw to it that Dan was reinstated into the Pantheon, earning the title of forgiveness as well.
* It's safe to say that ''many'' deities in the Pantheon owe it up to the Count to enact their revenge on those who wronged them. From Beatrix's RoaringRampageOfRevenge upon her former teammates to John Wick's path of destruction for the death of his dog to the Punisher's manhunt on criminals, various patrons have called upon him to strike down on their perpetrators.
** Raiden personally thanked the man for helping him hunt down those responsible for betraying him. Likewise, Armstrong was not pleased with his demise, demanding the Count to bless him in seeking vengeance in the Count, Edmond declined the offer, declaring the deed done. He would have to go to the God of Endless Revenge instead.
* Such tactics have been condemned by the House of Justice. Those in their ranks would prefer to let the law decide the fate of those under arrest.
* The five main alliances have all agreed not to interfere with his temple. They are well aware that all are dependent of his blessings to enact revenge on their fellow rivals. The GUAG is least comfortable with that stance, but even they recognize his importance.
* BumblingDad Homer Simpson spoke out about how much of a fan he was of his revenge story when he [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E11RevengeIsADishBestServedThreeTimes told it to Lisa]]. Marge is less than enthusiastic with the man, using his story as a cautionary tale about the consequences of revenge.
* Saw to it that Katara was given peace for her past, confronting the man who killed her mother and ultimately forgiving Zuko for his initial betrayal. Likewise, Zuko thanked him for allowing Iroh to forgive him for all of his mistakes.
* Unlike most others who either like or hate him, The Count only feels pity for Sasuke. He helped guide the man to exact his revenge on Itachi, only to look on in dismay as he acted like a complete jerkass afterwards. When Sasuke asked why people didn't approve of his forgiveness, the Count stated that such forgiveness can not be given so easily. There are many who still feel that [[EasilyForgiven his half-hearted apology wasn't enough for what he did.]] For him, time will only tell if he can improve his likeability.
* Has tried to talk Afro Samurai out of continuing the CycleOfRevenge he put himself in, knowing that it would eventually get him killed, to no avail. To the samurai, one can only accept that revenge breeds more. Only when one embraces that fact that one would find peace. The two debate their conflicting philosophies in the House of Philosophy.
* He may oversee the revenge of most deities, but has seen many of his followers flock to Enrico Pucci instead, mainly villains. Their followers are the source of constant battles and retaliations to the point that their deities decided to back off, letting their followers decide.
* While Captain America was grateful for his return (especially focusing more on forgiveness than most other Gods of Vengeance), he still believes revenge isn't the main answer to problems. Not even the brainwashing of Bucky was enough for him to seek out revenge. The two are likely to remain at odds for ages to come. Complicating things further was the announcement of Emily Thorne as high priest, who looks a lot like [[Creator/EmilyVanCamp Sharon Carter]], an agent Cap was seeking a romantic relationship with.
* Is also found in the House of Emotions as the God of {{Forgiveness}}.
