* The Boss is perhaps the greatest unsung hero in American history yet her story has been sealed away due to various aspects around it exposing major risks to national security. Born to one of the founders of the Philosophers, the Boss would eventually be renowned for her achievements in World War II where her infamy lied in the creation of the Cobra Unit--a MultinationalTeam consisting of various persons with odd powers. Her unit would help signal the war's end by StormingTheBeaches of Normandy and would be disbanded soon afterward. Christened as the Mother of the Special Forces, she remained quite infamous and very respected [[VillainRespect even by those who are listed as enemies to America]] at the time. Eventually, she raised and trained a young man named Jack who would one day become the infamous Big Boss--only to leave her student afterward to participate in American projects for the Cold War. The CIA and military repeatedly disrespected and sabotaged her missions at the time as they think of her as a relic of the past, having the Boss take the fall for various failed operations that would have gone smoothly if she was not obstructed by them. [[StoicWoobie However, no matter how much badgering she received the Boss did not complain in the slightest]]. The Boss was even the first human to reach space as well though was never acknowledged for it due to her failed crashing. In space, the Boss found the resolve to have the world united in peace.
** The mistreatment of the Boss continued after her recovers with the Philosophers threatening to kill her child that they kidnapped unless she killed her baby's father. [[TilMurderDoUsPart She accomplished the mission easily]]. The Boss managed to get into contact with an old friend, Zero and helped found the FOX unit. It would be then that she would embark on the Virtuous Mission, her final operation that would reunite her with her old student. For the American government, she would pretend to defect to a Colonel Volgin's splinter group to find the Philosopher's Legacy, a slush fund made by the Philosophers that is worth billions which [[LootDrama the branches are fighting for]]. Volgin however, muddied the mission's outcome severely by activating a nuclear weapon in Russia ForTheEvulz--making America pretend that she truly did defect from them and tasked Naked Snake to eliminate her. After all of Cobra Unit members, she united for one last mission died off one by one as well as Volgin's forces falling to Snake's might--the Boss awaited her student for one final lesson. [[MercyKill Perhaps she could have defeated him easily considering her expertise far outweighed his but she was defeated as well]]. With one last request, the Boss asked her student to take her life as there could only be one Boss and one Snake. Finally, the Boss died--her reputation was deliberately destroyed to save America from embarrassment, and the resulting disgust from those who truly respected the Boss formed the Patriots with the belief that her dream of peace cannot come true unless they force the world to. However, Big Boss would leave the Patriots after conflicting with Zero over what the dream of the Boss truly was and [[StartMyOwn made his own mercenary company]] as a result. [[SmallRoleBigImpact That pursuit for her dream would be the catalyst for the next conflicts the world faces decades later...]]
** Due to it being years since the Cold War, World War II, and the Patriots being destroyed--the world got to learn of the horrible things that went through the Boss and how the United States treated her like a tool once all of that stuff was declassified. There were immediate demands for the woman to be ascended to the Pantheon from every culture, to which the Court of the Gods could not refuse. The Boss eventually showed up to much applause but she ignored it all. All that the Boss asked was what were her next assignment orders with a dead serious face that scared the crap out of everybody. All the US presidents in the Pantheon (especially Kennedy [[TakingTheHeat who the CIA had the Boss blamed for the Bay of Pigs]] to not embarrass his term) were just about to give a long formal apology and even they were speechless by how determined the Boss was in protecting America. That moment drove so many to tears and the first order that the Boss received was, "take a goddamn break." The presidents had to tell the Boss this was for the benefit of America (they still feel bad for still using her to save face) so she relented. The first person who greeted her in the Pantheon was Revolver Ocelot who managed to grey himself out since the last time she saw him. It was then Ocelot revealed that he was her son, with him expecting the Boss to be floored by the revelation. The Boss though just starkly asked if he embraced the American identity yet. Ocelot was bewildered needless to say and just replied that he worked as a FOXHOUND member for a long while now. The Boss then said to Ocelot that perhaps they could bond later but for now, she needed to take a break and needed to distance herself from military organization members for a bit. They could [[FastFoodNation eat over burgers and milkshakes]] but that is as much bonding as they could do, she was afraid. As much of a MagnificentBastard he was, Ocelot could not tell if his mother wanted to make a genuine effort to bond while her professionalism is getting in the way or trying to ditch him.
* Looking at what her dream did to the world, the Boss was more or less unimpressed by what they had done. Shockingly, she is not opposed to the goals the Patriots wished to entail. The Boss could see even then in TheSixties that information and communication will become more widespread as technology advanced, which culminated with TheInternet being born. With humans having inherent tribality much like nations, it would be no secret that sides are going to be formed in which sentiment against others ideologies may worsen with every passing year. Considering that America prides itself on democracy, [[DemocracyIsFlawed then there every ideology more or less justifies its existence under free speech laws no matter how extreme or hypocritical they are]]. The Boss does not care if American went from one political spectrum to another nor does not care if the government starts manipulating its citizens with a false sense of free will. However, the Patriots are not being enforced out of the will of the American government, they are formed by a group of reformists using the money that the United States plucked from the Soviet Union's hands. So even if the intentions are noble in hindsight and there is nobody who the United States would have used the Patriots wisely, she cannot approve of its existence as it subverts America's will. The Boss made way to see Zero who helped found them and even he agreed that they should be stopped, just because they were all malfunctioning and enforcing themselves as brutally as it could.
-->'''Zero''': Wait, are you saying that you don't care that the Patriots are harming innocent people?
-->'''Boss''': I only care if it is America that is behind such things--not an outdated AI that only seeks to serve what it is programmed to do. If America should make mistakes then those mistakes should be made by America, even if they do not own up to them.
* Finally, the Boss went to face her old student within Big Boss. She surmised it is a rather tacky name though it fitted her student well. It was then Big Boss rushed at Boss with CQC but she disarmed him almost immediately. Considering that Big Boss was one of the few who mastered the martial art, it speaks volumes on either how efficient the Boss is... [[WillfullyWeak or how unwilling that her graduated student is to fight her again]]. Instead of dwelling on the tragic ending of Operation Snake Eater, the Boss only asked what the hell happened to the world after her death. As professionally as he could, Big Boss explained all the events with the Patriots, Cipher, Outer Heaven, FOXHOUND, and how it all ended thanks to surviving cloned son. Big Boss lamented to the Boss that it took him that long and to know her dream of peace was not having soldiers not under the thumbs of bureaucrats nor controlling the world for order--all that he assumes she wanted was everyone on the world settling their differences and uniting for a better future. It would seem like naïve wishful thinking though it is a powerful dream, either way, considering that all conflicts in the world are due to different ideologies attempting to supplant one another. [[CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer The Boss told Big Boss that was a good guess, better than the last ones he made]]. Big Boss was left completely in shock over her response as he may have got her dream wrong the entire time. He then went on a furious rant to the Boss, basically screaming that [[BrokenPedestal he thought the Boss was a fucking fraud]] for letting the government get away with murdering her and that everything that the Patriots did was for her sake. Big Boss could not believe the implication he was still misreading the Boss even at death's door. The Boss could only turn to her furious ex-student and tell him that it does not matter what her will is now. The response that she gave to him managed to settle him down a bit upon understand her words and found that the Boss did not contradict his thoughts on her nor did her ideals changed.
-->'''Boss''': Jack, does it matter what I believe in? You are you, and I am me, and was making a world where soldiers not are tossed away was a dream you thought was mine, or was it yourself? All that matters now is the mission--the next mission that we will carry on our lives to see through. You have yours and I have mine, and whether we meet in the battlefield, I cannot say. What I could say, Jack is to live for yourself and not others.
* Volgin would normally be surely pissed off upon hearing that the Boss is here as [[TheMole she was an undercover spy for the US government]] and was meant to search for the Philosopher's Legacy he gained. That said though, Volgin has pissed alright though it is more for being terrified that the Boss is here. Even Volgin who is AxCrazy enough to try to start a nuclear war with both the Soviet Union and the United States does not dare to cross the Boss unless he has to. The Man on Fire persona he takes on does nothing to alleviate that fear the Boss instills within him as he knows that no matter what he throws at her, [[TheDreaded she WILL find a way to completely obliterate him if he tries messing with the United States again]]. Volgin is not the only one who is afraid of what the Boss could do like all of America's enemies are wary of what she could do to them with only the truly foolish taking her lightly. Hence why the Boss was given a Greater Goddess-authority despite taking orders from any American government agency as her influence towards the country's military is that strong. Not to say that she agrees with such an "award for her efforts" but holds it highly either way.
* Steven Armstrong is one of the few that the Boss truly loathes. Being a senator, it was expected that Armstrong would be self-serving in one way or another though trying to bring America to anarchy through war IS something she cannot abide by. Armstrong is essentially having his [[TheSocialDarwinist batshit insane Darwinist ideals]] imposed onto the populace unwillingly no matter how much he tries saying that it is what America wants all along. American patriots may be attached with the freedom and justice concepts ([[{{Eagleland}} that the rest of the collective world loves mocking]]) though not to the extent that the majority want to fight to the death for luxuries. Only the strongest force in America would rule and would probably replace such a "fight or die" system as the Boss pointed out. Armstrong only told the Boss that she is a relic of the past and that even her skills and patriotism do not compare to the power of nuclear armaments and self-enhancing nanomachines. The Boss said that Armstrong is right and that her abilities now do not compare to what he can do... [[TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential so she asked the topmost American scientists to implant her with nanomachines to be like Armstrong except these nanomachines would be superior to his in every way]]. The president had to beg the Boss that what she is doing is suicide but she cited that they will experiment with nanomachines to enhance physical and cognitive abilities one way or another. Perhaps using a "relic" like herself would showcase how efficient such technology is. When hearing such rumors on the Boss using nanomachines herself, one could see that[[OhCrap Armstrong was rather nervous about such a prospect]].
* Regarded very highly by WWII military members. Captain America himself even heard what the Boss was capable of and said that in terms of sheer skill set that she was the best of the best (of course, the Captain is superior physically but he does not count himself since enhanced genetics are "cheating"). Nobody dares to show any sexist attitude to her as everybody is silenced the moment the Boss enters the battlefield. Even Broforce who by all accounts is the most destructive and strongest American squadron looks up to what the Boss does. Despite all these praises, many of her superiors are understandably hesitant on sending her on missions and [[HistoryRepeats make it look like their exploiting her loyalty and skillset yet again]]. They extended her ordered vacation indefinitely but they secretly have her dream recruits and go on very secretive missions because she is just that valuable to them.
* Surprisingly regards Funny Valentine well despite being blacklisted from the Pantheon-ascended American presidents. She says that regardless of Valentine's willingness to sacrifice other countries, he had the ambition of America being the greatest nation of all time. [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans The Boss may not approve of the paved road but humanity (aka the American people) will not change the result even if they bemoan the method to reaching that result]]. Fortunately, the Saint's Corpse is back in America's possession and even she cannot access them. She may not be permitted to take orders from Valentine due to the being orders from the other presidents but she can truly say that Valentine was as American as one could get. Valentine also places the Boss highly for her loyalty to the country and informed her that those like Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli will use the Saint's Corpse for their ends (such as leg therapy or for another nation) and at least told the Boss that if another nation were to try and get it, then she must retrieve it back.
* Due to being a woman in the military at a time where sexism was rampant, Jeanne d'Arc herself was impressed by how good the Boss is to the point that nobody cared that she was a woman. That said, the Boss regarded Jeanne well for being a patron saint of various military-related things though warned Jeanne on one thing. The Boss is perfectly okay in extending a hand of friendship to people from other countries ([[TheLeader she did lead the Cobra Unit into battle after all]]) but if Jeanne went to war against what the Boss is sworn to protect over some divine voice in the sky, then the Boss will not hesitate at all when putting her down. No amount of friendship can have the Boss be standing ideal to those who would harm her country, as the Sorrow could attest to. [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou Even Jeanne who had seen plenty of war knew how serious she was on committing to her patriotism.]]
* Has decisively mixed feelings on the Enclave despite being not too dissimilar to the fascist Axis powers that she fought against. However, in her eyes, the Enclave embodies the determination of the United States and its attempts to reinstate itself no matter the cost. Most people are not willing to parley the Enclave for their genocidal tendencies, to which the Boss [[OlderThanTheyThink replies that ALL countries have committed genocide]] because they believe it was for the security of the state. Not to say it is justifiable but thinking America up on a moral pedestal then acting shocked over doing what they think is a [[NecessarilyEvil necessary evil]] is incredibly naïve. All countries want to rule the planet and America is no different when it comes to adopting any ideology to remain in power. The Enclave embodies America's willpower and adaptation in a world of chaos, so how can she judge it if it was the will of her country? That said, her superiors have told her to be opposed to the Enclave as they do not embody America in the Pantheon--making her do just that. No hard feelings though which do not need to be said. That said though, the Boss is considered to be trustworthy enough to deploy Liberty Prime by them and "[[InsistentTerminology found]]" the access codes for it.
* Captain America had surprisingly questioned how far the Boss was willing to go for her country. Even though Steve Rogers is and forever is a patriot, [[EveryoneHasStandards he draws the line when the American government becomes what he sees as too oppressive]] especially when it is to [[ComicBook/CivilWar2006 promote regulations on superpowered individuals]] who can easily be manipulated by the government for "security of the state" reasons. The Boss then asked Rogers was how much America changed since he was put to sleep, to put it mildly. She pointed out that America's methods and ideologies on what is just are always changing. When the atomic bombs hit Japan at the end of the war, many approved of such action since seeing the enemy be defeated was on everybody's minds but once years later came and America saw the two Communist nations as its enemy--the atomic bombings were then and now seen as a MoralEventHorizon that revealed weapons of mass destruction that could end the world at a moment's notice. Even at the Captain's time, there were numerous prejudices against minorities throughout the war and after the war--many minorities who were deemed security risks were heavily monitored in camps they were forcefully relocated to. Whatever he may believe in, Steve Rogers has idealism that very much is in opposition to cruel reality no matter what period he lives in. He still respects the Boss but simply cannot understand her point of view on the matter.
-->'''Captain America''': I was raised on the American dream of peace and justice. I can't just follow through with what the government says if it is against that...
-->'''Boss''': [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans I'm sorry but there will always be a price for peace, even if it means paving it with the suffering of others]]. The Amendments have been rewritten numerous times throughout history and the American dream has also been rewritten. I cannot take that dream of yours but you cannot say that your ideals are what truly embodies our nation's beliefs for eternity.
* Sofia Valmer knows more than anything about what it is like to have children be taken away. She feels nothing but sorrow for the Boss having her child be taken away from her and [[IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure essentially being blackmailed to being loyal to her government]] (even though she was unwaveringly so already). Though the Boss appreciates the sympathy, it does not matter to her now. Her son has grown alive and well and she will remain loyal to the United States no matter how much abuse she takes from them. Valmer was disturbed over her disregard over it such a misdeed done against her but the Boss is the kind of person to look towards the future than the past. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up to different people.
* Though has been long deceased when the fifth Smash tournament happened, her Spirit managed to be obtained by Galeem where she was fitted into a clone of Samus Aran (thanks to their similar visual appearances). Despite being only a BadassNormal in her lifetime, the Boss as a Spirit [[ThatOneBoss is infamous for kicking the butts of most people who faced her]]. She would grab them with the weaponry of Samus and decimate them with the finesse she has. Arguably, Galeem deemed her too powerful to let loose as [[SealedGoodInACan he blockaded the Boss off from other fighters]] even though she could have made quick work with most of them. Samus herself respects the Boss highly for her professionalism and skills and was even impressed by how well the Boss used her weaponry. The Boss said it was an honor to use Samus as her vessel to fight once again but secretly, also took data on Samus and gave it to her superiors.
* Frank Underwood deemed the Boss a great threat to his plans on dominating America as her popularity and loyalty to the other presidents made him unable to procure her on his side. The Boss does not have a high opinion on Underwood as he does have any principles on protecting the United States and [[ItsAllAboutMe only seeks to gain further power]] for himself. She is authorized to place Underwood on arrest on sight, resulting in Underwood having to take a low profile and put into hiding by the GUAE. Underwood may have many threats against his life in the Pantheon but had to beg the GUAE to make sure the Boss did not tie him up in his sleep to be hauled to a KangarooCourt.
* Smoker and Monkey D. Garp consider her an honorable soldier despite coming from different governments. If the Boss were to ever join the World Government then she has already reached Vice-Admiral at the minimum if not considered for an Admiral position. They believe that the Boss secretly is holding back or is unaware that she is using Haki as when during a sparring session against Smoker, [[BeyondTheImpossible she managed to grab him with CQC despite Smoker being able to just phase right out of her grip]]. The Boss does know what Haki is yet shown no interest in cultivating it in front of others.
* Nick Fury and the Boss work closely together for the security of the American homeland. Most heroes would object to the more extreme measures that Fury takes but the Boss is not one of them and does it as efficiently as she could. Since SHIELD is an entirely separate military branch it is questioned how can she just be present in so many divisions (stealth, space, ground combat, air force, special, etcetera). The reason being that the Boss technically belongs to her own division ([[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous nicknamed the Boss division]]) that could do such things. Many members of the division are classified though a good indicator on who they are is their effectiveness in all sorts of mission and being seen working with all divisions together.
* 2nd Battalion and many other World War II infantries (any prior war veterans as well) are obviously outdated when it comes to combat. Even when trained with new technology, they end up remaining with the surplus of World War weaponry they are accustomed to and are treated statistically as commodities or at worst, CannonFodder. That was until the Boss led the 2nd Battalion and many others in one battle and succeeded with little causalities. Many including the soldiers were shocked at the victory and asked how did the Boss do it. All that the Boss said that it did not matter if soldiers were using sticks and rocks to fight. [[StrategyVersusTactics A good strategy and tactics overcomes any battle and people ought to think of that when fighting.]]
* She does not think highly of Arnold Berkman for having no loyalties to his nation. She once saw Berkman trying to [[DirtyCoward hog away from a battle]] while his soldiers were valiantly fighting with but she caught him and called Berkman a coward for abandoning those who would die for their country. She gave him the ultimatum that if he did not do a retreat, then she would arrest him right there and send him back after having all secrets squealed out of him. Berkman took the more embarrassing but less lethal option.
* ''"Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic. When life ends, it gives off a final lingering aroma. Light is but a farewell gift from the darkness to those on their way to die. I've been waiting, Snake, for a long time. Waiting for your birth, your growth, and the finality of today."''

* Johann Schmidt started off as but another disenfranchised youth, a petty criminal turned bellhop drifting as the Nazis rose to power. Adolf Hitler recognized the potential in the boy though, swearing he could make him a great Nazi. [[GoneHorriblyRight Hitler himself would fear Johann]], now christening himself as the Red Skull. Long after the fall of the Third Reich, he continues to carry the banner of Nazism. And he has ascended to the pantheon-God help us all.
** Was believed to have thought for the Russians in the 50s. This turned out to be an imposter called Albert Malik, however.
* Has a SkullForAHead. Initially it was just a mask, but his Dust of Death (think Joker Venom with skulls) backfired on him. Somewhat misses his old face, [[PragmaticVillainy if only because]] [[ObviouslyEvil it's harder to trick people nowadays]].
* [[HateSink One of the most hated gods]] in all the Pantheon, to the point that only the most depraved gods are willing to associate with him. And even they will randomly betray him. Memorably, [[BigBadDuumvirate he and the Joker once teamed up]], only to end up trying to kill each other. Hell, even willingly allying with him will blacklist you from some parts of the GUAE. Also, it should go without saying that '''every''' Jewish god in the pantheon hates his guts; the feeling is mutual. As does every mutant, given he's both [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain a traditional]] ''and'' [[FantasticRacism fantastic racist]].
** This has lessened somewhat with him joining the GUAE as a leading member, with HYDRA administrating the specialist division. Not that the good guys hate him any less for it.
* [[DependingOnTheWriter His mood can vary]]; sometimes he's a cold, die-hard advocate of Nazism [[KnightTemplar and believes it's the right thing to do]], and sometimes he's a sadistic lunatic who embracing Nazism [[ForTheEvulz to hurt and kill]]. However he can always be counted on for being a DiabolicalMastermind, and [[CompleteMonster being one of the most evil people in all Marvel]]. However [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he has one standard]]... any crimes others commit on his dime must be profitable.

* Is one of the primary targets of all Allied deities in the Pantheon alongside fellow SS-general Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, due to leading the Nazi war effort in the Pantheon. In addition, he's also the target of several evil-aligned Soviet deities such as Gen. Nikita Dragovich, the latter wanting to capture and reverse engineer many of his Tesseract-powered weapons for Soviet use.
* The only people he truly fears are Captain America and [[Film/InglouriousBasterds The Basterds]]. The former because he's his sworn nemesis and the latter because they keep killing his Mooks.
* Usually trying to get at the Cosmic Cube, which for a time he had and he was raised to a Greater God. However the GUAG managed to steal it, then for the GUAL and GUAC to try and get it. Currently searching where in the pantheon the Cosmic Cube has gone.
** His recruitment to the GUAE came with a caveat: when Melkor finds the Cosmic Cube, or the Infinity Stones, he gets access to it. Needless to say, Thanos is NOT happy about this.
* Recently, he met with his unholy partner Lex Luthor about forming a Supervillain Army to counterattack the Pantheon/GUAGSuperheroDivision... so the villains finally win for once. [[ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse When the DC and Marvel universes merged]], he combined with Lex Luthor to form the Green Skull. He found this odd, expecting to fuse with Captain Nazi instead.
** While Doctor Doom dislikes him, it seems that he was planned as one of the first candidates to join in the Supervillain Army, until he rejected in favor of the recently formed Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw.
* Was curious upon learning that Adolf Hitler was in the pantheon, however ended up disappointing learning it was the Downfall version. He's better off with Adenoid Hynkel however. Though he was his DragonWithAnAgenda, the Skull deeply respects Hitler and saw him [[ParentalSubstitute as a father figure]]. Isn't sure what to think of [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-c-xc24C8g impersonation of the Fuhrer]].
* Has rather gained a notorious rivalry with Agent Smith, as both have the same power (and sound [[Creator/HugoWeaving rather similar]]), but different philosophies, with Red Skull focusing on "[[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans peace]]" and Smith focusing on [[OmnicidalManiac complete destruction]].
* After discovering Millennium, he has an alliance with them, but views The Major to be a [[{{Understatement}} tad]] unhinged, even for his liking.
* [[VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance3TheBlackOrder Recently forged a new pact with a powerful Asgardian deity]] and eventually taking control of the entire realm himself with HYDRA.
* Considers it ironic that he's a comic book villain when Hitler himself hated comics.
* Eventually, Johann Schmidt managed to organize an alliance of the various Nazi, or Nazi-related, deities scattered throughout the Pantheon, creating a small, but solid Neo-Nazi faction within the GUAE whose goal is no less than to remake the entire Pantheon into a stronghold and haven for Nazism. With Schmidt and [[Pantheon/ConquestAndConquerors Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse]] acting as co-leaders, members of this alliance include [[Pantheon/RoyalPersonalities Rudolf von Sturmgeist]], [[Pantheon/{{Karma}} Arnold Berkman]], [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Franz Vahlen]], [[Pantheon/BossDesign Heinz Böhm]], [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes Adenoid Hynkel]], [[Pantheon/{{Currency}} Masataka Shima]], [[Pantheon/{{Duels}} Erwin König]], [[Pantheon/TheatricVisuals Arnold Ernst Toht]], [[Pantheon/MedicalConditions Wilhelm Ehrenberg]], and [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Fritz von Meyer]]. The alliance also includes deified modern-day organizations such as [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles HYDRA]], [[Pantheon/{{Humanoids}} Millennium]], and, to a lesser degree, [[Pantheon/MonsterTypes Shocker]]. Serving as troops for the alliance as a whole are [[Pantheon/TechnologicalOccupations Nemesis]], the [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Schutzvollstrecker]], the [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Valkyrie]] [[Pantheon/{{Enemies}} Jäger]], and the [[Pantheon/{{Enemies}} Waffen-SS]]. [[Pantheon/AlignmentChanges Isoroku Yamamoto]] is [[TokenGoodTeammate a reluctant member]] of this alliance, having few allies and many enemies in the Pantheon because of his actions during World War II, and is carefully watched by Heinz Böhm. After discovering [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters a war-torn version of Berlin]] among the [[Pantheon/DominionsExpansion Pantheon's Dominions]], Schmidt and Strasse established a base for their Neo-Nazi alliance there, having reconstructed, renovated, and expanded the ruined Reich Chancellery and Reichstag. Needless to say, this Neo-Nazi alliance has countless enemies in the Pantheon and beyond. Anyone discovered to have ties to it will risk facing lifelong stigmatization.

* Conflicting opinion by: [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Gihren Zabi]]
* During Conker's memorably bad day, he had accidentally been drafted into an army of squirrels fighting against Dr. Kripplespac, the Panther King's traitorous right hand scientist. The war was between the squirrels and The Tediz, an army of {{Killer Teddy Bear}}s who would either kill any enemy they found, or captured and experiment on them, either also killing them or turning them into twisted minions. Conker, who just wanted to go home, had to brave these {{Sociopathic Soldier}}s and ultimately destroy their most dangerous weapon, The Experiment. The war was still raging on well after Conker had left and their creator was killed, even expanding their army with more classes of soldiers, even attempting to kill the squirrel during his big family reunion. While there was a bit more to Conker's story afterwards, The Tediz still remained one of the more memorable adversaries he had faced.
* Their ascension was thanks to a particularly depraved bear, Monokuma, and his Master pulling some strings. While researching more potential allies, they came across a bio for The Tediz, which naturally picked their interest for [[BearsAreBadNews obvious reasons]]. Looking into them, they had found out that the bears were [[ANaziByAnyOtherName suspiciously similar to The Nazis]], what with their similar appearance and experimental attitude. After laughing for a straight minute about how ridiculous the idea was, they were eventually impressed by how surprisingly ruthless they were, and after presenting the evidence to the Court of the Gods, they were deemed appropriate for the title of '''[[ANaziByAnyOtherName Invoking Nazi Imagery]]''', shortly followed by the arrival of the Teddy Bear army. While they mostly work by themselves, they'll still gladly lend a hand to Monokuma if he ever needs them, the army being impressed by his sheer ruthlessness and cruelty.
* The army became surprisingly varied over time, at least regarding its infantry. At first, it was just generic Tediz soldiers wielding numerous different weapons, some surgeons for torturing captives, and the occasional muscular Tediz. By the time the war had escalated, however, they had adopted a "class" system similar to their enemies, resulting in a more vast array of Tediz soldiers, including heavies, pyromaniacs, infiltration soldiers, bazooka men, and more. Of course, the generic soldier is still the most common one you're gonna find in the battlefield, [[JackOfAllTrades being able to posses a wide variety of jobs and skills]]. That doesn't mean they won't use the special classes, on the other hand, who excel at their specific roles far more.
* It should be noted that, despite resembling and acting like Nazis, they actually weren't aware what a Nazi was, seeing how they were more Expies of the army than anything else. A few of them even think that the other ascended Nazis are copying ''them''. This didn't stop them from making allies with many of the Pantheon's Nazis:
** The Red Skull was probably the only one that took them seriously from day 1, seeing how his universe has plenty of weirder heroes and villains that were taken seriously. Though even then, he admits that the fact that they were stuffed animals was pretty new. Still, that didn't stop him from approaching the army and offering his assistance from HYDRA, which the bears gleefully agreed to. Of course, he plans to completely overtake them and turn them into his proper lackeys, but for now he'll settle for a simple alliance.
** The corporation SHOCKER was initially made up of former Nazis, so an offer for an alliance with the bears was quick. In particular, they were impressed with their habits of experimenting with captured enemies, even being able to make monsters out of them, as shown with their most dangerous creation, The Experiment. Helps that they too were created by a MadScientist. The Tediz were happy to occasionally supply them with experiments and monsters for them to use.
** Infamous Nazi Deathshed was genuinely impressed by their skills with weapons, being able to wield duel machine guns, assault rifles, bazookas, sniper rifles, revolvers, and even katanas. With that, he would occasionally supply the bears with extra weapons for their war, which is ''[[ForeverWar still]]'' going on, by the way, something that the bears are completely grateful for.
** Rudolf Von Sturmgeist and his Nazi Footmen found them more humorous than anything, what with being teddy bears wielding katanas and whatnot. That said, they still know better than to mess with them, since they're also ''dangerous'' teddy bears wielding katanas. One drunken soldier learned this the hard way, cockily challenging one to a fight while in a bar, only to get decapitated for his troubles (And yes, the bear was also drunk, otherwise he would've [[GroinAttack kicked him in the crotch instead]]).
** Heinz Bohm, being a shameless CardCarryingVillain, found the bears to be utterly delightful, since they were [[ObviouslyEvil somehow even more obviously vile than he was.]] He states that he'll happily lend a hand if the army ever needs someone like him, the bears themselves impressed with how ruthless the man could be and cheerfully accepting his offer.
* As a result of their alliance with various Nazis and Nazi supporters, they have naturally gained the ire of the soldiers and heroes who fought against them. Soldiers Mike Fairburne and Mike Powell in particular ''hate'' the bears, seeing them as no better than the Nazis they support, even if they were more ridiculous. As such, they'll gladly lend a hand in fighting the army, even if they have nothing to gain from it.
* In regards to other Teddy Bears, the bears were genuinely impressed with SCP-1048, a bear who was fond of making dangerous abominations out of human corpses. Of course, they were easier to deal with than the Tediz own creations, but hey, it was still impressive for one guy. On the flip side, fellow bear SCP-2295 was horrified by the bears, even considering them worse than 1048 to an extent. At least there was one of him. The Foundation themselves are rather neutral on them, willing to take them seriously despite their ridiculousness, but usually just ignoring them since they haven't launched a full on invasion yet.
* Lotso, the former tyrannical ruler of Sunnyside Daycare, was not as lucky to make allies with the group. When the pink bear approached them for an offer of an alliance, the Tediz laughed at Lotso, thinking that he was inferior compared to The Tediz. To be fair, considering that one is a teddy bear who conquered a daycare filled with toys, and the other is an army of psychopathic stuffed bears who gleefully slaughter and torture their enemies, [[EvilerThanThou one can see where they would get the idea]]. Still, Lotso had plenty of other powerful allies within the Pantheon, so it wasn't as big of a loss as one would expect.
* Many have noted that fellow homicidal bear Naughty Bear looks quite similar to the Tediz, what with being a brown, worn, and deadly teddy bear who carries a wide variety of weaponry who slaughters anything that pisses him off. Of course, the main difference being that while Naughty only does this to the {{Jerkass}} residents of Perfection Island and is perfectly willing to leave people alone, The Tediz are open sadists who attack people ForTheEvulz. As such, Naughty ''hates'' these guys with a passion, and is perfectly willing to go on a killing spree of Tediz if the opportunity arises.
* H20 Delirious, despite being a massive fan of Teddy Bears, dislikes the Tediz for being everything a Teddy Bear should ''not'' be. We say "disliked" because he finds the idea of "Nazi Teddy Bears" [[ActuallyPrettyFunny honestly kinda hilarious]]. Either way, this hasn't stopped him from participating in attacks against the Tediz, even convincing his friends to help out by simply invoking how absurd the bears are, something that Vanoss and friends couldn't possibly ignore.
* Not all super villains are on their side, as a few of them consider Nazis in general to be [[EvenEvilHasStandards the one line they wouldn't cross]], with the Tediz being too close for comfort, not helped by them allying themselves with other Nazis. The most vocal of them would probably be Lord Recluse, who had been a soldier during [=WW1=] and has known firsthand how horrific they can be. Not far behind is villains Doctor Doom and Magneto, the former having experience with them and the latter being a Holocaust survivor. Seeing how these are three super villains known for their ruthlessness in battle, the Tediz are incredibly concerned about them, and have every right to be as well.
* The former holder of this title, for anyone curious, was infamous war criminal Gihren Zabi, who lost the title when his family ascended. As for his opinions on the Tediz, he's honestly conflicted. On the one hand, he recognizes their potential as an army, being ruthless killing machines and all, but on the other hand, ''they're also an army of Teddy Bears who scream profanities and wield katanas''. He's still debating wether to ally with them for extra help, or ignoring them to preserve his dignity.

Litvyak]], [[Pantheon/GameModes Edward Richtofen]], [[Pantheon/{{Enemies}} Waffen Infantry, Nazi Storm Elite]]
* A general in the [[UsefulNotes/RedsWithRockets Red Army]] during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and into the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, Major General Nikita Dragovich is seen as the textbook example of the worst the Soviet Union has to offer. His loyalty is only to his agendas, as Viktor Reznov has learned.
* Like Viktor Reznov, he was also a veteran of the Eastern Front, having commanded the former's unit during the Battle of Stalingrad. He lost the then-Sergeant's trust after ordering his forces to retreat instead of reinforcing Reznov's position, resulting in Reznov's squad being wiped out.
* Following the end of the war, he led an expedition in the Arctic to hunt down [[TheRemnant surviving German units]] holed up there, as well as to take in one Dr. Friedrich Steiner, a Nazi scientist willing to sell out to the Soviet cause.
* One notable aspect of him is his interest in [[StupidJetpackHitler Nazi superweapons]] left over from the war, particularly [[DeadlyGas Nova 6]], which he helped to mass produce in the 1960s. To this end, he is willing to hire former Nazi scientists in the Pantheon, in order to replicate the formula now that the original creators are no longer with him.
* The very first ascended deity to rise up and challenge him upon ascension is Alex Mason, thanks in part to the very brainwashing the Soviet General had ordered programmed into him. He almost kills him again, if not for [[VillainousRescue the intervention of]] Kane, a former Soviet official himself, who decides that this newly ascended god could be useful for his plans in the future...
* Johan Liebert also takes an interest in him, mainly due to his [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing]] [[ManchurianAgent methods]], and also takes the Soviet General under his wing...
* Is greatly disappointed by the Pantheon's version of Adolf Hitler, especially considering that the Nova-6 project he now has in his hands was commissioned by him (or at least, an alternate and more competent version of him). Even Dragovich considers [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting the Tomanian leader]] a more serious threat.
** On the other hand, he's genuinely impressed by Johann Schmidt and his array of advanced military equipment. He hopes to obtain examples of said equipment to reverse-engineer, manufacture, and use against anyone that opposes or potentially will oppose his plans.
* Almost every good-aligned character hailing from the USSR absolutely loathes him, mainly in part for Dragovich being one of the key men responsible for turning the postwar Soviet Union into what it became known for during the Cold War, not to mention his part in helping enforce Stalin's regime before, during, and after the Great Patriotic War.
* Shares his first name with one of his direct superiors in the Soviet government, not that it really matters since he's a wild card even by their standards.
* Liberty Prime sees him as a priority target, mainly for being aligned with communists. Not helped by the fact that he was actually supplying weapons to the North Vietnamese through China...
* He finds another ally in the form of Titans member Bask Om, who's interested in the Nova-6 weapon.
** He isn't above helping some of Bask's enemies though, in this case various members of the Principality of Zeon, including their leader [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Gihren Zabi]], who is interested in the Soviet General for the same reason as the Titans officer,
** Char Aznable though, has a different opinion on the man with regards to his methods, and sides against him.

* When evil threatens the world, America calls for Broforce to save it. A group consisting of the most awesome soldiers, a BandOfBrothers who are willing to go toe-to-toe with terrorists, [[AlienInvasion fight off hordes of aliens]] and even [[ToHellAndBack go to the depths of Hell itself]] to do battle with {{Satan}}. The American presidents of the Pantheon and Captain America called upon Broforce to aid them in their fight against evil once more to which they happily obliged.
* [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Broforce's members consist of very familiar faces with the added "Bro" aesthetic given to them]]. They have met their counterparts and have fortunately gotten along with them, even if not all of them are not from {{Eagleland}}.
* Their leader is Rambro, a BoringButPractical person who can become [[spoiler:the Grand Emperor of The World [[GoldenEnding should Broforce do battle in the hardest difficulty]]]]. Even the God-Emperor was impressed by these turn of events.
** There is an [[BadEnding alternate timeline]] where [[spoiler:Rambro--[[ShellShockedVeteran likely due to stress from battle]]--shoots the president and is jailed for it. After learning of this, Rambro has been going to therapy sessions so this may never happen]].
* They dubbed their allies as [[HonoraryTrueCompanion Honorary Bros]], seeking fellow awesome badasses for companions. They didn't have to be American to be a friend, Broforce is willing to befriend anyone who will help in the fight against evil.
* They were specifically warned not to follow orders from Nixon, Solidus, or Funny Valentine. Broforce recognizes the latter as a man willing to burn down other nations, [[EveryoneHasStandards something even they cannot tolerate]]. The former thinks Broforce is coming after him and has upped his temple's security (if that would even help). Solidus is complicated, as while his goals are for America’s future, his methods are anything but approvable.
* Every mission Broforce has done ends with [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]] that make [[Pantheon/{{Explosives}} Michael Bay]] proud. There is a reason why they are only sent to remote areas away from the more populated areas in the Pantheon. If all the members [[OneHitpointWonder didn't die in one hit]], Broforce would be borderline unstoppable.
* They were absolutely livid once they learned not just one, but several different Satans existed in the Pantheon, even more so once they learned of the Xenomorphs being here. Granted, they saw that the [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} SMT]], the [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} South Park]], and the [[Pantheon/LoveOther Puyo Puyo]] versions are not that evil in comparison but know the Castlevania and Paradise Lost Satans are dangers meant to be stopped. The Beast is a huge target as well, both figuratively [[BigRedDevil and literally]].
** They also hate the Supernatural Lucifer who seeks to destroy the world. They harbor an intense dislike against the SMT Lucifer, [[BadassInANiceSuit who is eerily similar to their Satan]]. The only thing stopping that Lucifer from being an outright enemy is that he hasn't done any personal harm to America or Broforce themselves yet, being too busy in [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse Tokyo]].
* Despite being terrorists, they only see Nine and Twelve as misguided kids albeit extremely smart ones and [[KarmaHoudini even they felt a bit shame on America's actions in their world]]. Still, it doesn't excuse they fact they're done with their vengeance and could just stop being terrorists but chose not to.
* They consider the Enclave to be [[OppressiveStatesOfAmerica detrimental to America's future]] rather than saving it and have sworn to take them down. They also despise Wallace Breen for handing humanity to aliens so quickly.
* They were shocked to learn the AnthropomorphicPersonification of America existed in the Pantheon. Broforce considers America as their superior, even if he doesn't do much besides asking them [[MundaneUtility to pick up a few burgers]].
