'''[[Videogame/{{Overwatch}} Sombra]], Goddess of [[EverythingIsOnline Hacking Anything]]''' ([[FanNickname Sombrero]])

* His most dangerous weapon, apart from concentrated UV light that can do harm to even those not susceptible to sunlight, let alone undead, is his machine gun hidden inside his torso.[[http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1396/33/1396331009033.png The pose he assumes prior to firing it]] has caught many a target doubling over in laughter. It's discouraged to laugh before you dodge.

** She woke up one day to find her temple defaced with graffiti that had pictures of frogs and the word "Freedom" and "GG's" all over it. She immediately accused Lucio, whom in return laughed it off [[NotMeThisTime while saying she has the wrong freedom fighter.]] It was only when she saw Beat spraying paint onto some inactive mini turrets did she piece it together, and had just gained many a headaches after realizing there is essentially another Lucio in the pantheon.

* Friendly Rivals (and possibly Best Friends) with: [[Pantheon/{{Profession}} Isaac Clarke]]

* High Priestess: [[Film/TheMatrix Trinity]]
* Allies: Is not one to stick around with allies for long, but has received help with [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Pippi Longstocking]], [[Pantheon/LoveOther Red Sonja]], [[Pantheon/TechnologyLesserGods Ed]], [[Pantheon/ProphecyIntermediateGods Neo]], [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Nico Minoru]], [[Pantheon/KnowledgeIntermediateGods Amadeus Cho]], [[Pantheon/ProfessionDemiGodsAndQuasideities April O'Neil, Jade, Lois Lane]], [[Pantheon/JusticeLesserGods Sam Vimes]], [[Pantheon/{{Lust}} Bayonetta, Charlie Harper, Mad Moxxi]], [[Pantheon/CrimeLesserGods Isabela of Rivan]]

* Just before she ascended, she found a fellow hacker on the street. Pitying her, she decided to take her up as her high priest. Turns out that woman was Neo's love interest Trinity. The Chosen One has been highly thankful to the hacker ever since.

* Just a note, she is not a healer, even though she is considered a Support. remember that.

* Rivals: [[Pantheon/{{Children}} Denise the Menance and Bart Simpson]]

* The boys often keep a stern eye on troublemakers Bart and Denise as their mischief nearly foiled their cover multiple times. It should be noted that those incidents were not intentional; the two gods of Precocious Troublemakers just aren't as good of keeping their tracks as well.

* [[http://www.tssznews.com/2017/03/18/shun-nakamura-on-sonic-forces-story-the-world-was-conquered-by-eggman-so-what-was-sonic-doing-till-then/ News spread that]] [[VideoGame/SonicForces at the start of Sonic's latest adventure,]] [[TheBadGuyWins Eggman would of flat out won and taken over the world.]] Fellow evil doer who wholes the title of "[[TheBadGuyWins Villains Who Triumph]]" applauded this and invited Eggman out for a night of Poker and drinking with Crow paying for everyone's drinks.

* Allies: Metal Sonic (depending on the situation), [[Pantheon/{{Dragons}} Bowser]], [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Ganondorf]], [[Pantheon/AntiVillains The Professor]]

* Lesser Goddess (rumored to have powers that can be on Intermediate Goddess)

* Due to her first target being a somewhat corrupt corporate ([=LumeriCo=]) and having a rather affable personality, [[DracoInLeatherPants Sombra is often seen as some sort of anti-corporate freedom fighter that is on the same level of Lucio and his fight against Vishkar]]. Sombra just chuckled at that, they can think whatever they like about her, but she really have 'other' motivations unrelated to being anti-corporate (which might not even be her trait, just something made-up by those fools when they saw her striking against a corporate for different reasons). But speaking of Vishkar, she kind of enjoys annoying its ace Symmetra by booping her on the nose when opportunity presents itself.

* Before she ascended, she left hints and clues about her whereabouts, teasing those who found them with countdowns and unhelpful messages. After a drawn out investigation, Sombra relocated herself in the house of Technology without the Main House noticing but after a while they let her stay.

* Eggman is also a lifelong friend of [[Pantheon/AntiVillains The Professor]], and the latter is rumored to have helped fund some of Eggman's more ambitious experiments. Despite their friendship, Eggman refuses to help him fight [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Felix The Cat]] due to understanding [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption that it's impossible for him to exploit the Magic Bag of Tricks]] and not wanting to have yet another powerful animal adversary to deal with, while Professor likewise refuses a team-up simply because he knows he'd be in over his head trying to fight Sonic and co. However, Professor did convince Eggman to form a short lived PowerTrio with him and Dr. Wily on one occasion to retrieve the Magic Bag of Tricks, which had been scammed away from Professor by [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Count Dooku and the C.I.S.,]]; Professor spearheaded the operation in his spaceship while Eggman and Wily's robot armies flanked him in an attempt to perform a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. While they managed to breach the defenses of the C.I.S., Eggman's badniks were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of Battle Droids (especially once the Droidekas rolled in), with Wily's robots barely faring any better. Their distraction allowed Professor to sneak through Dooku's flagship, the ''Invisible Hand'', successfully retrieve the bag and let them escape alive, but only after both doctors taking heavy losses. Unfortunately, once they fled to safety, they all got into an argument over who got to keep the bag (Professor wanted it for himself since it was the whole reason he spearheaded the attack for it, while Wily and Eggman wanted to sell the bag on the black market to alleviate the cost of the robots they lost in the struggle). Unfortunately, bounty hunter Boba Fett (hired by Felix to trail Professor and retrieve the bag) appeared and stole the bag while they were bickering. Infuriated that their efforts were all for nothing, Eggman and Wily swore off any future team-ups with Professor, but they still remain mutual friends outside of their jobs.

* Allies: Metal Sonic (depending on the situation), [[Pantheon/{{Dragons}} Bowser]], [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Ganondorf]]

* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Heroes}} Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman]], [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} Bruce Wayne/Batman]], [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Diana of Themyscira/Wonder Woman]], [[Pantheon/{{Travel}} Barry Allen/The Flash]], [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Hal Jordan/Green Lantern]], '''[[Pantheon/HeroicAppearances Kara Zor-El/Linda Danvers/Supergirl]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Cole McGrath]], Virgil Hawkins/Static and Richard Foley/Gear, [[Pantheon/AbilitiesAndMovesets Jago]], [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Black Orchid]] (the one from ''Killer Instinct''), [[Pantheon/RoboticsAndMachinery Cy-5]], [[Pantheon/{{TimeAndSpace}} Sirius]].

* It's said that knowledge is power. And in all the DC Universe, none ever embraced that concept more than Vril Dox, better known as Brainiac. Possessing an intellect all but unrivaled, he would seek nothing less than ultimate knowledge. All that he valued he would add to his collection of shrunken cities, and all that he had no need of he would try to destroy. And the pantheon is full of those he sees as valuable.
* Brainiac came to this pantheon stored in a tiny data chip. From that point, he built a new body and was making good progress at acquiring influence and carving out territory around his temple. This changed when he ran afoul of SHODAN, and was subsequently reduced to a suboordinate role as a system beneath her. After a year of service she allowed him to send a download of himself out to freedom. This Brainiac is much, much more cautious, even fearful, and mostly stays out of the affairs of other gods.
** Is glad that his #1 follower, Ultron, has joined to the Pantheon.
* Chooses Gwen Grayson as his High Priestess, due to her being the one who named the trope. However, Brainiac himself is the best representation of the trope.

* [[VideoGame/Injustice2 It's confirmed that in an alternate universe where the High Councilor is imprisoned, his AlternateSelf is redefining the blurred lines between hero and villain... by invading that Earth in a new series of events]].

'''[[ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} Vril Dox]], God of {{Technopath}}y''' (Brainiac, Milton Fine, Pulsar Stargrave, Abbakus, Brainwyrm, Collector of Worlds)

* Enemies: '''Big Brother''', Pantheon/GUAEBlackHats, Sombra

* During a hacking duel between the White Hats and Black Hats on a certain facility for a certain file, a strange logo with a skull appeared in the terminals on both sides of the conflict. Someone asked if this was [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Sombra]], hearing rumors of her [[Pantheon/PendingGods2 pending ascension]], but not hearing that she's already ascended. Aiden Pearce however, a member of the White Hats, recognized the symbol as [=DedSec=], an organization of [[TheCracker crackers]] like himself. He wonders if they're finally here to [[spoiler:get back on him for not putting their ghost code into [=ctOS=] so they can be "the watchdogs" over the system when they asked him to]].

** Is glad that his #1 follower, Ultron, has joined to the Pantheon.
* Chooses Gwen Grayson as his High Priestess, due to her being the one who named the trope. However, Brainiac himself is the best representation of the trope.
* His origin [[DependingOnTheWriter varies]]; most of the time he's an alien scientist from the super-intelligent Coluan race, sometimes he's an artificial intelligence developed on Krypton. Sometimes he's biological, robotic or cybernetic. [[Comicbook/SupermanBrainiac Recent evidence]] has shown that he is an alien from Colu, and the other versions [[FightingAShadow are probe he sent]]. The true Brainiac almost never leaves from his isolated temple, due to being a ControlFreak.
* Has a heroic descendant in the form of Querl Dox, better known as Brainiac 5 or Brainy.
* Felt true joy for the first time in a while when learning [[Pantheon/{{AnalysisAndRecords}} the Admins]] ascended. He hoped to infiltrate the Akashic Record and ingest the vast knowledge within, but was blocked by multiple firewalls.
* Seems to be somewhat of a germaphobe, unable to deal with the bacteria he cannot control. Naturally he's frightened of Nurgle, and wants nothing to do with him. Given his almost non-existent emotions, he's somewhat of a blank for the Chaos Gods.
* [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/{{Convergence}} Recent events]] have shown that Brainiac has managed to recall previous iterations of his multiverse's timeline, and place them in cities. Quietly, he is doing so to previous iterations and assorted splinter sites of TV Tropes, including previous edits of the Trope Pantheon.]] As such, many Greater Gods and Overdeities are keeping a closer eye on him.
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} fears and despises Brainiac for having stolen her city of Kandor and terrorized Krypton. It is speculated he may have played a hand in Krypton's destruction. Kara Zor-El fought him and his machines alongside Superman when Brainiac arrived on Earth and shrank Metropolis.
** Ironically, a descendant of Brainiac -Brainiac 5- is a hero, member of the ''Comicbook/LegionOfSuperheroes'' and one of the main love interests of Supergirl.
* [[VideoGame/Injustice2 It's confirmed that in an alternate universe where the High Councilor is imprisoned, his AlternateSelf is redefining the blurred lines between hero and villain... by invading that Earth in a new series of events]].
