* Few rivalries have been as long lasting as the war against the black and white spy, yet also, few have been as mysterious. Who they are employed to, what their goals are, or even how they met isn't that known, but what is known about them is that they know what the other is planning and knows that they know that they know, and so on, [[HilarityEnsues resulting in elaborate death traps and the likes for the other spy to fall for.]] As such, they were approved of a spot within the Pantheon.
* They really didn't ascend, as it was more or less that they ended up being found out after the two were trying to fight each other to sneak into the house of Pantheon/{{Defense}}, causing the guards to intervene and capture them, after falling for some of their own traps. They were threatened with two choices; one was to be kicked out of the Pantheon. The other was to stay and be properly ascended, but share a temple. They begrudgingly took the latter, although they decided to build a giant brick wall down the middle of their temple so that they can't see each other, and paint all the furniture and walls black and white respectively.
* Due to their status, they are often hired to spy on opposing sides of wars, namely with the Grand United Alliances. Some people just tend to hire them [[PassThePopcorn just to see their antics in person.]] One of their clients was the Yooks and Zooks, who tasked them to try and discover the latest weaponry of their enemy sides. During one of these campaigns, they found out the reason for this war was because of [[SillyReasonForWar the different ways they butter their toast, something that even they thought was just a stupid waste of time.]] [[NoodleIncident It took the Wonderful 101 to restrain them both from throwing their Bitsy Big-Boy Bomberoos at each other in response to this war.]] Since than, the two spies just try to kill whichever Yook or Zook tries to recruit them back into their fight.
** Some of their more repeat clients namely involve the Looney Tunes deities. These range from Wile E. Coyote hiring the both of them to try and catch the Road Runner [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption and failing as the Road Runner bribes them to betray the coyote]] ([[TalkingWithSigns with Roadrunner using a sign to talk to Wile saying "ROADRUNNERS ARE EXCELLENT NEGOTIATORS")]], Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog (with both teams clocking in and out with appropriate lunch breaks), and Sylvester and Tweety. They are also frequently employed by Tom and Jerry to try and one up the other.
*** By far, their biggest ally and client happens to be James Bond of all people, as [[BunnyEarsLawyer despite all of the insane preperations and traps, it's also these traps that make them effective spies in the first place.]] He is always to make sure the duo is on his side and paid exactly the same. Many gods learned to be wary of a White Spy and Black Spy working towards the same goal due to these surprise successes.
* The duo are unfortunately all too aware of the fact that they are both shipped with each other after a run in with Gwenpool bringing it up to see just what they would do, already doing such a stunt with reminding Spider-man of dating Gwen Stacy's cousin, and being aware of people shipping her with Deadpool. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill She had a computer monitor slammed through her head alongside being pushed off a tall building into a spike pit laced with TNT ready to explode.]]
** Despite this, they do seem to at least enjoy fighting each other a fair bit, to the point of [[https://www.madmagazine.com/blog/2018/04/16/preview-spy-vs-spy White Spy being sad to see Black Spy die,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjhrjJlkJjg and even offering Black Spy a job after he got fired.]] [[https://boingboing.net/2016/08/15/how-cubas-greatest-cartoonis.html However, most agree this is mainly]] [[https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=949407&GSub=137146 something that varies on a day by day basis.]]
*** While they do have some pity for Perry and Doof for getting their own fair of FoeYayShipping, they tend to not play nice with each other ever since Doof suggested that the two bury the hatchet. As such, any encounters with Doof or Perry end with the two duos fighting each other. If Perry isn't there, expect a even fight with the spies more often than not triumphing over Doof. If Perry is there, the two spies are more than likely going to be defeated with little effort.
* Due to being spies, they naturally became allies with the Spy. They tend to spend their off time with Spy drinking wine. Of course, this isn't to say that the trio didn't try to backstab each other, both figuratively and literally. As of right now, the score between them is pretty even, [[EnemyMine if only due to the two spies teaming up to kill the Spy by tricking him into backstabbing a electric socket dressed up as the white back looking through a hole in the wall.]]
* Despite their long lasting rivalry, they do have moments of [[EnemyMine teaming up with each other.]] One such incident [[https://youtu.be/3hLlHTzUIVk?t=163 was to blow up Lord Shen after Po failed to beat him alongside a bunch of Angry Bird expies.]] As a result of this, they not only became enemies with Lord Shen within the Pantheon, but also the Angry Birds as well, seeing the two as a threat to their species.
* When it comes to try and fight each other, the two are quick to call in other fighters [[LetsYouAndHimFight duke it out on their behalf sometimes.]] Such a time happened when they both hired the worms to go into the other's room and try to steal some plans, resulting in a whole lot of explosions, [[PyrrhicVictory often destroying the temple, any plans the other spy may have had, and the two spies themselves.]]
** They also employ the mercanaries of RED and BLU to do their own work, resulting in a whole lot of more cartoony deaths than usual, as well as collatoral damages. [[NoodleIncident After a incident involving destroying the entire house of War by using a uber charged Heavy, some ACME products and the heart of a baboon]], they were threatened to be kicked out of the Pantheon if their wars don't get scaled back.
* [[TheScrappy There WAS a female spy called Grey Spy]] [[KarmaHoudini who always won against the duo,]] [[OldShame but the two spies decided to just go above her head and have Antonio Prohías phase her out, stating she was boring thanks to her being]] ImmuneToSlapstick. As such they have developed a stigma against those that managed to escape the claws of karma [[EnemyMine and will happily lower their grudge match with each other to bring their own hammer of karma down on them.]]

* {{Unknown Rival}}s: [[Pantheon/LustfulActs James Bond]], [[Pantheon/GUAGRelationshipEnchancers the Chick Magnet Quintet]]
* Leela and Fry thought they had the perfect plan to finally oust Zapp from the Pantheon. They convinced Honor Harrington to have him co-pilot her fleet to take on a Xenomorph infestation on a lone planet. While Honor wanted a more cautious approach to the situation, Zapp convinced the crew to make a full-scale invasion. Ultimately, his failure to predict the right amount of aliens as well as [[ItCanThink the Xenomorph's preparations on the planet]] led to a spetacular defeat. Only Zapp and Honor survived.
** The battle left the entire House of War gobsmacked. They demanded he be repramanded and sent to trial. The punishment was to send Zapp to the Planet Express, much to the crew's chagrin. Leela sent a counter offer; he can stay in the Pantheon, but in the House of War as a reminder of his failure. The Judge agreed, noting that Zapp ''has'' managed to bed several people... including Leela. Thus he was given a new title. Zapp's opinion was understandably mixed.
* Despite all this, Brannigan still sees himself as a masterful war combatant, when in reality [[GeneralFailure he's dangerously incompetent]]; most of his victories were due to [[PyrrhicVictory sending wave after wave of troops to die against the foe]]. Most of the House of War has nothing but contempt for him, especially when he moved there.
* Even when he made it out of the House of Lust, his former reputation still follows him. '''''Hates''''' James Bond for succeeding where he's failed and considers him a personal rival (even if Bond isn't aware of it).
** Maintains a truce with Johnny Bravo, the man who got him out of his previous title. The newcomer elicits mixed feelings for Zapp. Johnny proved to be a more likeable character, which Zapp found grating. Still, he can at least say he isn't the worst Casanova in the Pantheon anymore.
* He is also known to be jealous of all male leads in any HaremGenre work, since they've all managed to get their own harem, something he'll never be able to get. EVER.
* Proven to have a really bad time trying to understand neutral-aligned gods; he assumes they are no better than evil-aligned ones. [[BoomerangBigot In spite of this, he himself is]] TrueNeutral. The House of Ambiguity had a nice laugh at the reveal... before banning him from the area.
* [[{{Expy}} He is noted to be similar to]] [[Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos Captain Kirk]], taking ideas from him about [[BoldlyComing hot alien babes]]. Kirk would rather not associate with Zapp due to his incompetence. This sentiment is the same for most other captains.
* Upon hearing of the creation of the Chick Magnet Quintet, Zapp has found another rival according to him. The Quintet doesn't even bother to acknowledge that.
* Of all of Kyu Sugardust's clients, Zapp is currently the most difficult to work with. He appreciates that she makes the effort to actively approach him, but he has trouble learning from the love fairy, and she said she's not available for dating until he successfully beds another woman.
* Was overjoyed upon learning that Leela had ascended to the pantheon; he once managed to get PitySex from her, and has consistently lusted after her ever since. The cyclops has proven consistently disgusted with him, and while she successfully got someone else to take CasanovaWannabe from him, he remains in the Pantheon to harass her.

* In the span of a few Christmas days, one mischievous but troubled youngest sibling of a big family found himself left behind in his [[TitleDrop home alone]], and forced to deal with thieves doing what they did best. What would have been a traumatizing experience for many other kids instead became the [=McCallister's=] moment of notoriety. With only what he had available within his own home, and no support from police, he made the Wet Bandits regret ever trying to steal from his home with wits and creativity alone. Rigging the buildings the burglars attempted to break into with plenty of painful traps, the criminals who underestimated him would undergo more and more painful experiences the further they attempted to get the boy. Succeeding at stopping the Wet Bandits twice, Kevin [=McCallister=] not only saved Christmas for his family, but he even helped out a children's hospital whose charity money the Wet Bandits were trying to steal off for themselves.
* While Kevin [=McCallister=] wasn't too much of a fame seeker, his feats of turning home supplies into effective traps would catch the eyes of the deities in the Pantheon. Soon enough, he woke in his room, opened the door, and found himself in a new realm entirely. Intimidated by all the new things around him, he initially cowered back into his room, but eventually came out on his own, deciding to wander out to see what he was getting into. Soon enough, he would meet friendly deities that informed Kevin that he had become a deity for his success against the Wet Bandits, thus letting him hold the HomeAloneAntics trope to let him become part of the Pantheon. Asking what that meant, he would receive his own temple for him to stay at, which some comment on for being like a big house, all to himself. But once Kevin learned about the ascended criminals and thieves in the Pantheon, that temple was no longer much of a welcome place to walk around in, much less for potential home intruders.
** Kevin's main "temple" is in actuality not Kevin's main home, due to the numerous amount of traps and other home-made defenses within that it's practically impossible to traverse it normally unscathed, unless you either know it by hand, or are a god of a much greater rank capable of [[TheJuggernaut just walking through everything that could be thrown at you]] anyways. That noted, Kevin doesn't really keep anything valuable that could benefit the latter group, though Kevin intends on somehow fixing that. Otherwise, the chance that an intruder will find themselves in a hospital after entering Kevin's temple increases proportionally, if not ''exponentially'', to the amount of time they stay in Kevin's domain. However, if you're Kevin himself or someone he wants to spare from his rigged defenses, he may take you to his ''true'' temple, said to consist of a couple of rooms, including one where he designs his infamous traps, and one resembling a room within the Plaza Hotel, among others.
* Given that there are many talented thieves and rogues in the Pantheon that aren't as dim-witted as the Wet Bandits, Kevin has taken to further improve and adapt on his methods and defenses, learning from failures and other observations, due to all of the freedom and time he has as a Pantheon deity. Whereever Kevin decides to set up his usual designs becomes the bane of many a non-superpowered thief, and although the Good-aligned thieves don't have as much of a reason to bother him, they've tried from time and time again to find that traps he set up not only change from time to time to prevent redundancy, but trying to bypass a few can lead to some nasty injuries. One mentor that Kevin is getting along with for the sake of improving his work is [=MacGyver=], who additionally plays games of table-hockey with him. While [=MacGyver=] respects what he does, he gives the occasional warning about making his traps too cruel, especially nothing that there may be some deities either forced to go through them by bullies and such, or otherwise may not genuinely understand the warnings that keep most pain-sensitive deities away. As such, Kevin does experiment with designs that are intended to be more precise and to focus the hurt on those who are asking for it, on top of ways to keep potential innocent wanderers in less distress.
* There have been many a doctor in the Pantheon that have complained about Kevin's designs for traps, including how lethal a few could potentially be. There was even a mortal who elaborated on how Kevin could have effectively [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTHPxaql_Ws caused fatal injuries multiple times]] during his time in the Big Apple, which has raised plenty of concern and terror at the [=McCallister=]. And given how satisfactory he was emotionally, perhaps to the point of sadism, though [[AssholeVictim the victims weren't really nice guys]]. Kevin wasn't willing to let it all slide, and had a couple of his own arguments about the Wet Bandits that were victims of his craft. One, the fact that they had met before their second and more infamous meeting, where the two robbers had intentions to rob his family, and almost managed to torture him when they caught him. Two, the fact that they had intended to steal ''charity money'' for a children's hospital, which he argues was a terrible line to cross. And finally, the fact that the Wet Bandits not only pursued the money they wanted to take from Kevin, but were [[WouldHurtAChild willing to]] [[WouldHurtAChild him]], so he had justification to go to such dangerous lengths. While many members of the House of Law of Justice still distrust Kevin greatly, they have acknowledged his arguments as fair, and haven't sought to punish him heavily.
--> '''The Judge''': [[LampshadeHanging Huh, does this boy even have a lawyer?]]
** Santa acknowledges Kevin's immature but understandable and sympathetic intentions, and he's more than proud of Kevin for standing up against letting injustices happen on Christmas as well as helping out fellow children as well without expecting too much of a reward himself. Santa did have a messenger to tell Kevin that he's certainly a good-hearted fellow, but that he should be more mindful of his behavior towards others, and to do his best to ensure that his endeavors to get back at bandits do not go too far. Should that occur, Kevin just might find himself on the Naughty List. Heeding the warning, Kevin does try his best to be a better kid and to regulate his own mischief, even when interacting with the less morally conscious pranksters in the Pantheon.
* There were plenty of trap creators in the Pantheon that Kevin became curious of, with Woody being quite the contrasting type of prankster, setting up traps and other tricks within his own cranky neighbor's house, using the neighbor's own items against him instead of bringing his own. Impressed, Kevin has decided to learn from Woody, attempting to do similar but with his own twist on the thing. Despite having issues doing so at first, and almost getting caught by Rottweiler multiple times, he eventually set upon Rottweiler a whole stream of traps that Rottweiler kept getting caught in, one after another. Succeeding in outwitting the nasty neighbor, Kevin's skills at setting up traps for potential pursuers on the fly has made Kevin an even more fearsome kid to try and mess with. And he's also been advised to stay away from Laetitia, who's capable of giving out deadly gifts that ended up horrifying the boy when he saw them in action. Thankfully, Kevin has no interest in experimenting with anything supernatural of that sort any time soon.
* Kevin seeks to be popular among the members of the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, but it's primarily to be able to stick up for other children like him. Having gone through quite some rough holidays dealing with thieves, he's more than willing to help out other children who want to deal with troublesome adults. He's an avid support of the Kids Next Door and their pursuit of justice against the tyranny of malicious adults as well, providing assistance whenever he can. While he doesn't plan to be as generous with support toward the more chaotic and immoral children in the Pantheon, he likes to hang out with Dennis the Menace, and Dennis in turn doesn't target Kevin's temple when he wants to slingshot some windows. He also found Bart Simpson to be a pleasant mischief maker to be around, at least most of the time, to the dismay of Sideshow Bob. There's also Edgar and Ellen, who believe that Kevin's mischievous reputation isn't as deserved as theirs is. From time to time, the twins will try to out-prank him, but Kevin always has something prepared for them. They have managed to catch Kevin off-guard with their tricks, though whether it's been worth the times they've been hospitalized from either their traps backfiring or trying to outsmart Kevin's house defenses and failing, they can't say for sure.
* While he's not against befriending adults, it's rather clear that Kevin doesn't want to rely on adults. He definitely has no interest in having the cops do what his house traps can do and some, though he's not adverse to letting them do their work. He's open to the advice and support given from adults, but it's usually with some uncertainty and doubt. There are adults he has felt completely comfortable being friendly with, mainly Old Man Marley, an old man falsely suspected of being a serial killer, but ended up saving Kevin's life, as well as an unnamed Pigeon Lady who too saved Kevin's life, as odd as she was herself. Kevin's considered making them his heralds, but isn't sure of whether they'd approve. Some of the adults in the Pantheon that have earned Kevin's absolute respect and admiration for are Hana and Gin, as well as the teenage Miyuki. While they initially didn't seem to be the type of people he'd be friends with, especially not [[ParentalAbandonment Gin]], learning of how the homeless trio returned the baby Kiyoko to their parents did touch his heart (even to the point of forgiving Gin), to the point that he even invited to his true temple for a temporary stay during a nasty Christmas blizzard in the Pantheon, through a route that kept them safe from Kevin's machinations. The three visitors thanked him dearly for his miraculous saving from the blizzard they caught up in, and while they didn't have much to give back at the time, Kevin hadn't sought taking from them anyway. He was even completely oblivious to all of the good luck the three had during Christmas, not that luck is something his works should require for delivering pain to unwitting robbers.
** Somehow, his friendship with the Pigeon Lady had spared him the wrath of the humanity-attacking Birds, who appeared before him in a great swarm, attacking every other human being near him, but consistently ignoring him. He attempted to plead for the Birds to stop, but his pleas were in vain. The Birds may take some sort of liking to him, but Kevin doesn't intend to [[EveryoneHasStandards reciprocate such sentiments due to their danger to fellow humans]]. The Murkrow Flock don't fare well with him too much better, since they used to try and steal from his as well. Since he was already planning some designs to counter the kinds of bandits that thought staying off the floor was sufficient, Kevin simply made them more effective against flying targets. To save the grief of a Murkrow that could've been a victim, he threw a rubber chicken at one in front of some Murkrow to demonstrate. Needless to say, they were smart enough to get the warning. Another bird that Kevin has a much more infuriating relation to is The Goose, who is among those who aren't necessarily indestructible or immune to pain, yet they've managed to get past ''all'' of Kevin's defenses just to snatch something out of Kevin's hands, to the boy's frustration. Can you him for investing hours into anti-goose traps?
* While it's not a particularly hostile relationship, Kevin doesn't have any particular fondness of his big family, or the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives for that matter. For him, his family, while caring at times, it's usually the source of [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood much grief from the likes of them]], being annoyed by both siblings and parents, to the point where it played a major part of Kevin's overall distrust toward adults. Due to beginning to prefer the time spent alone, he decided against ascending the other [=McCallisters=] as heralds. His perspective baffled Angela Sheehan since on her Christmas days, she would in contrast, hope to reunite with other family members, notably her father. And while she does understand having annoying siblings, she doesn't hold the same negative sentiments that Kevin has with his other siblings like Buzz for example, where she's had a more amicable relation to her own brother Pat. Kevin on the other hand doesn't really say much to address her thoughts since she doesn't understand how unbearable his own family can be at times. Additionally, learning of another kid to willingly live alone, Rynn Jacobs, he ran into the normally secluded girl while looking for more materials in the House of Craft, and from there, had learned of her rather frightening story of losing her own mother and dealing with someone who wasn't just out for her home, but for Rynn herself, on top of the fact that she ended up killing him through potassium cyanide, though not necessarily on purpose. While initially intimidated by her, the idea of accidentally being responsible for the death of their own parent made Kevin feel much sorrow for Rynn.
* A few deities have caught Kevin's attention to their reputation for stealth and evading traps, specifically [[Pantheon/MetalGear Solid Snake, Big Boss, and Raiden]], who would all have their own ways of bypassing Kevin's more infamous traps. While Kevin doesn't want to antagonize or experiment on those individuals for the sake of training his designs, given that they're not as dumb as the Wet Bandits and would not appreciate the kid getting in their way, he does observe recordings of their own infiltrations. He hopes to get what he can analyze from said infiltrations in order to make more effective house contraptions that would counter their strategies, for the purpose of hindering those who would use such tactics for immoral motives, of course. And then there's Carmen Sandiego, who decided to take a shot at Kevin's challenge for fun. While she too found traversing Kevin's temple to be difficult, with plenty of moments of barely avoiding or just scraping by some traps, she showed up in Kevin's room holding a few of Kevin's belongings, before putting them down and leaving without stealing anything, but not without stating that Kevin by stating that he would've been an interesting recruit for ACME. With Kevin considering her a WorthyOpponent, he aspires to improve enough to put a blemish on Carmen Sandiego's thieving record.
* A few victims of Kevin's work had found themselves bound to come back regardless of the effectiveness of the boy's work. Swiper the Fox, due to his compulsion to steal, attempted to sneak in, but always got himself in much pain getting caught by the traps Kevin sets up. Despite it all, he just can't fight the urge to try and come back and steal stuff. Kevin eventually took pity on him and set up a screen which plays a recording of himself saying "Swiper, no swiping!" multiple times, which has fortunately managed to save Swiper plenty of needless suffering. And then there was Salad Fingers, who may or may not have his own reasons for entering Kevin's temple. He may get easily caught and subdued by what Kevin had set up for more sane thieves, but it hasn't scared him off. In fact, Salad Fingers has found the experiences [[TooKinkyToTorture rather pleasing]] for the most part. The day Kevin saw the tall man happily covered in sharp traps and later learning about [[NighInvulnerable who the]] [[NightmareFetishist guy was]], many got to hear Kevin's [[TheScream famous scream]] in person.
* While startled by the extent to which Kevin is willing to put his opposers through, Jimmy Hopkins does admire the idea of punishing the most stubborn criminals with just enough pain to make them feel regret for their poor moral choices. On top of giving Kevin advice about effective trap designs, and nods to individuals that deserve a bit of what Kevin can create (Gary Smith was plenty miserable about getting painfully ejected from his own temple after Kevin found it), Jimmy also helps Kevin manage his mischievous side, reminding him that he should balance his desire to improve his traps with the acknowledgement that Kevin's creations are at their core a tool of deterring, not eliminating. Another individual capable of much deadlier traps, Karl Fairburne, has also given this advice himself, noting that while his traps are explosive and much more lethal, he's doing it to fend off Nazis and other fascists, and the kinds of people their plans and methods target are different.

* Whatever you do, ''do not'' threaten to destroy beautiful artwork in front of him. It's one of the few ways you can [[BerserkButton openly piss him off]], something that NOBODY wants to see. He regularly visits the House of Pantheon/{{Craft}}'s Merveilleux Morpho Atelier and the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle [[BunnyEarsLawyer and makes monetary contributions whenever he can]]. Music itself is also art, but he finds little use for it in analyzing his opponents, as musicians tend to add their own interpretations in their parts. When a piece does pique his interest, he visits the House of Pantheon/{{Music}}. He reportedly finds his own [[{{Leitmotif}} organ-based theme distasteful]].

* [[spoiler:With the Emperor's final defeat on Exegol, Thrawn has begun a massive build-up of Imperial resources in the Pantheon to return to the greater galaxy and re-conquer it. This military build-up includes reviving several abandoned Imperial operations from ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' such as the [=TIE/ph=] Phantom. To this end, the Super Star Destroyer ''Terror'' (along with its crew, Admiral Sarn and project coordinator Grand Admiral Martio Batch) has been summoned to the Pantheon to continue what was disrupted by the rebels]]. Additionally, for [=PR=] reasons he has consented to making a vacation home at the [[Pantheon/EstablishmentsAndInstallations Walt Disney World Resort]], specifically at the ''Ride/StarWarsGalaxysEdge'' ride. Don't expect to see him there, because he isn't too concerned or interested in his status as a fan favourite. That said, if he is there (usually to study the ride for inspiration), he isn't [[NotSoAboveItAll averse to signing autographs]] when visitors ask him.
* Also present in the House of [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Mentalism]].
