| 21 | * Is labelled as the most powerful Esper around, his power and intelligence has him rivalling the likes of Asura, The Hulk and Alucard. |
| 22 | * The only way to defeat him is to master a relatively simple technique dubbed the Kihara Counter, which involves withdrawing one's attack a moment before the impact to overcome Redirection, proving that it isn't an unbeatable barrier. After getting past Redirection, [[AchillesHeel he can get defeated in a few punches]]. |
| 23 | ** However, mastering this technique is nearly impossible, since the only one to have had this ability is both DeaderThanDead and was the one who developed Accelerators power and growth in the first place, so the only way to master the technique is to know everything of Accelerator's ability, then also be able to utilize this technique while Accelerator is bearing down on them, which is obviously not as easy as it once was. Not only that, but the Kihara Counter's affect on Accelerator while he is [[SuperMode Awakened]] is also unknown. |
| 24 | * Originally resided in the GUAE until Kamijou Touma defeated him and convinced him to join the GUAG instead. Accelerator still lies in the Pantheon/GUAGTokenEvilTeammates due to his general attitude. |
| 25 | * Is currently on his RedemptionQuest by protecting the very last Sister created, Last Order. |
| 26 | * A rumor is circulating that Accelerator's actually a {{Hermaphrodite}}, mostly due to his incredibly androgynous appearance, coupled with the fact that his original name consisted of 3 kanji for the first and 2 for the last, the exact same amount and order that his gender bent counterpart Yuriko Suzushina has, making it seem likely that it was his original name. As such, he would avoid getting into the [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection House of Love]] or else people could possibly hit on him due to the rumor. |
| 27 | * He is great friends with Vali Lucifer, for having similar appearances and personalities, as well as being both regarded respectively as the strongest in something, and also for [[Creator/AustinTindle sounding a real lot alike.]] {{Iron|y}}ically, Touma has befriended Issei Hyodo, Vali's rival. |
| 28 | * Somehow, the Lol Rangers conspired to have him, his former arch-nemesis Touma Kamijou and two newly ascended {{Mangaka}}s in the same room. Even if he already met [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Mashiro Moritaka]], let's just say it was weird for him to learn that there was another pair of rivals with their [[Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto same]] [[Creator/AtsushiAbe voices]]. ''Especially'' due to the type of personality [[Pantheon/{{Quirks}} Eiji Niizuma]] (the one with his voice) has. Though the most surprising was that Accelerator decided to keep hanging out with the mangaka anyways. |

| 48 | * Complicated Relationship: [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Amakusa Shirou Tokisada]] |
| 49 | * A powerful warrior born from the Sea Nymph Thetis who was the Sea God Nereus' daughter. This gave him divinity and the strength and skill in battle that he has been known to have. He was made even more powerful when his mother dipped his body in the river Styx. However, he was left vulnerable in the part of the body by which she held him, his heel. He then became one of Chiron's students and Patroclus' lover. He along with his best friend participated in the war against Troy to bring back Helen. He defeated Hector in battle, enraging Paris, who shot Achilles in his heel and killed him. |
| 50 | * It was a bright sunny day in the Pantheon when people heard the arrival of a chariot running across the border. They then met a demigod who heard about the existence of this place and told them he arrived here to meet {{worthy opponent}}s. It was then that the people found out that the man is Achilles, and was actually ascended earlier before he arrived. |
| 51 | * He was distraught when he learned about Patroclus’s death, so much so he declared revenge and brutally murdered his boyfriend’s murderer. Seeing Patroclus again made him shed some tears and they shared a heartfelt reunion. A celebration was shared between them along with their dear friends. |
| 52 | * Despite their differences, he and Odysseus remained good enough friends that the former’s armor was even granted to the latter. When they met again, Achilles expressed his disappointment at following his rage to avenge Patroclus, which is why he stopped Atalanta from going further on her quest to save Jack the Ripper and killing Jeanne d’Arc in the Great Holy Grail War. Odysseus is glad that Achilles is able to see reason behind his actions and even with his glory-seeking hunger, he tries to make up for it. |
| 53 | * He is very happy to see his teacher Chiron again. While he enjoyed the first time they fought each other in the Great Holy Grail War, [[spoiler: the second time saddened him so much thanks to his experiences in the Atlantis Lostbelt and what his teacher had become, even if the version of Chiron he met is an alternate reality version of him]]. Chiron has took the time to comfort Achilles and tells him that he didn’t blame him for [[spoiler: killing his EvilCounterpart in the Lostbelt and is doing for what’s right in the survival of Pan-Human History]]. |
| 54 | * He’s glad to reunite with Mordred and Karna, the latter whom he wanted to challenge again. His relationship with Shirou still remains to be complicated, though he’s glad that’s he not pursuing the Holy Grail for the time being. He doesn’t Shakespeare due to his despicable nature in the Great Holy Grail War. And reading his portrayal of him and Ajax in Theatre/TroilusAndCressida gave him more to reason to oppose him. But the one person he’s excited to meet again is Atalanta, whom he managed to stop from her fueling rage since he regretted committing his vengeance for Patroclus. Atalanta has forgiven him for it and thanked him for stopping it. Of course, Achilles proceeded to let one of his childhood heroes to meet with Patroclus and have a proper introduction with Chiron now that they’re not fighting as enemies, the former who’s disappointed at not being able to join the Great Holy Grail War at his best friend’s side. |
| 55 | * Of course, he’s happy to be able to appear in Chaldea and is extremely fond of his new Master, so seeing them being able to ascend made him happy. [[spoiler: Finding out that he left his beloved Master and the rest of Chaldea all alone with no help and way to escape in the Atlantic Lostbelt really distraught him]]. |
| 56 | ** [[spoiler: Speaking of the Atlantic Lostbelt, he is happy to see his new team, the Neo Argonauts as one of their Master’s heralds, having been banded together by Chaldea and becoming FireForgedFriends after regaining hope to protect Pan-Human History from the Atlantic Lostbelt. In fact, he is so happy to reunite with them again (except for Paris, but the two are willing to [[TeethClenchedTeamwork team up]] for their Master’s sake) that he introduced them to Patroclus, Chiron, and Atalanta (the latter two who are shocked at Jason’s heroic actions considering he’s not serious about his training and duty his hero, which Jason retorted back that he can be a serious hero in the right situation, and for putting aside his injury to protect his new friends). They hope that when they reunite with their Master again, they want to throw a celebration for him for bringing them together even with the hopelessness of their situation]]. |
| 57 | * He’s happy to meet Heracles, whom he had challenged to a duel to measure his strength. The same could be said with Zeus, due to being distantly related and helping Achilles to join the Trojan War and supporting the Greeks. He’s not that happy to meet Aphrodite as she had supported Paris’s side during the Trojan War even with her guilt of what she did, but seeing it in his won eyes let him leave her alone for it. |
| 58 | * He’s excited at the chance of challenging Son Goku because of his enormous power and multiple super forms. This caused Achilles to enter his temple and challenge him to a battle using his Ultra Instinct. Nobody knows who won because of multiple explosions that have occured, but everyone who could see Achilles in a bloodied state but with a smile on his face. |
| 59 | * Having met Achilles in Chaldea, Alexander the Great is excited to see Achilles once more in the Pantheon and wanted to challenge him. Despite being unnerved by Alexander’s fanboying, he is excited of meeting a fan of his. |
| 60 | * Hearing about the most powerful Servant in existence, Achilles demanded Gilgamesh to challenge him in a duel. Gilgamesh is impressed with Achilles’s bravery of challenging him and the battle ended with Gilgamesh winning, but the King of Heroes is impressed with Achilles’s power and that he is able to leave him a scratch, which is why he challenges him every now and then. |
| 61 | * Unlike his good friend Odysseus, he is impressed with Leonidas I’s training regime of his citizens and considers joining it. Leonidas is happy to see a great Greek hero who taught highly of him and the two have become two friends over it. Achilles even joined Leonidas’s side in his battles (mostly because he loves the trill for it). |
| 62 | * Hearing about his strength, he became excited at the idea of challenging Lu Bu, along with his allies Diaochan and Lu Lingqi. Hearing about his massive power and thrill for battle, Lu Bu made a proposition with Achilles that in exchange of being rivals, he should be fighting at his side whenever he and his army are in battle. This made Achilles much more excited and has accepted his request, even with the knowledge of his betrayal. |
| 63 | * Having regretted the choices he made during the Trojan War, he warned Percy Jackson of all the dangers of bathing the River Styx. Having no hope of battling Kronos left, Achilles decided to tell him to choose one vulnerable weak spot and gave him a last warning. He is happy to see Kronos’s defeat even if it’s Luke who defeated him and he and Percy have agreed to remain on good terms. |
| 64 | * Achilles has heard of a female warrior that beared his alias when he crossdressed once, and she is Pyrrha Nikos. When he meets her, she was apprehensive at first when she heard of him and his journey as well as his past attitude, but once they both talked it out they have smoothed their relations and even respecting each other as fellow warriors. Achilles is even more saddened that [[spoiler:Pyrrha died much like he did by getting shot at the heel and chest, only she gets turned into dust afterwards]] and is doing everything he can to reassure her that her sacrifice will not be in vain. |
| 65 | ''Death and the strong force of fate are waiting. There will come a dawn or sunset or high noon when a man will take my life in battle too -- flinging a spear perhaps or whipping a deadly arrow off his bow'' |

| 85 | * Opposes: Excessively violent heroes |
| 86 | * WorthyOpponent: '''[[Pantheon/HeroicAchievementsAndLosses Saitama]]''' |
| 87 | * Complicated Relationships: The House of Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} (Especially the Prophets) |
| 88 | * Lord Boros was an Alien leader of a group of intergalactic invaders that dedicated themselves to invade planets until one day, a Prophet foretold that Boros could find someone who could match him in strength in planet Earth and he immediately departed there in hopes of finding said person. To put it short, he wasn't disappointed with what he found. |
| 89 | ** To say that he managed to survive more than one punch from Saitama and even managed to give him some resemblance of a Fight is what surprised many people. This was one of the reasons why he was ascended not long after he was defeated. |
| 90 | * The first thing he did after ascending is confronting the one person that managed to defeat him, Saitama. He declared in front of the Hero that he will train hard enough to go beyond his limit and then challenge him for the Rematch. While Saitama wasn't fazed at all, he secretly looks forward to the Alien's training results and see if he can keep his word. And there are many gods worried about what would happen if these two cross paths again. |
| 91 | * After hearing about Boros, Frieza decided to confront him personally to see if he was as strong as he was rumored to be. It wasn't surprising that Boros was [[SlasherSmile gleefully smiling]] after hearing that there was [[BloodKnight another being strong enough to oppose him]] and the resulting battle left neither emperor disappointed. To the surprise and eventual horror to everybody, both intergalactic lords became best buddies. |
| 92 | ** To top it off, Boros started to take sparring matches with Frieza in his spare time after hearing that the former attained a powerful form after a short amount of time. Worse, he plans to test his newfound skills on Frieza's arch-nemeses, the Saiyans, after hearing of their immense combat potential. Looks like defeat wasn't so bitter after all for Boros... |
| 93 | * Altough he has clarified that his [[HealingFactor Regenerating Power]] is what allowed him to Shrug off some of Saitama's powerful punches, many theorize he actually has the [[https://i.imgur.com/mrHIv8g.png Sturdy ability]]. |
| 94 | * Another person that caught his attention was the Swordsman Sephiroth, especially because they [[Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa both sound suspiciously similar]] and have [[OneWingedAngel Powerful forms that they only unleashed]] as a trump card. This also didn't sit well with Cloud and the latter has been careful of the Alien lord ever since. |
| 95 | * He is planning to form another intergalactic group because sadly the last one were all killed. One of the first people that joined him was the Space Pirate Ridley, because the Dragon was impressed that there was another Creature as durable as he is. This pleases Boros greatly. |
| 96 | ** This alliance has brought the ire of many people who have fought aliens before and it is possible that a new organization may be formed to counter whatever Boros has in store. |
| 97 | * He gets along surprisingly well with One-eyed deities like Mother Brain or Gigan, who are aliens that also invaded planets for their own cause. He also is in good terms with the Yellow devil even though he isn't an alien, as he reminds him of one of his Top lieutenants who fought on Earth. |
| 98 | * He hates heroes who show no mercy toward their enemies, as he found out that the surviving Crew that came to earth with him was executed by KnightTemplar Hero by the name of Sweet Mask. People like [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Killia]], [[Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} Kenshiro]] or [[Pantheon/NarrativeTone Shadow the Hedgehog]] are what makes him get instantly angry. |
| 99 | * He isn't very fond of the Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} house, since although the Prophecy he was told was right at the end, he felt very disappointed that he couldn't give a Challenge to Saitama. He has stated that Prophecies became a very touchy subject for him and he wouldn't mind getting rid of that house, which has left most of its members Worried. |

| 121 | * Baldr is one of the sons of Odin and his wife Frigg, he is the Norse God of Light and Purity. He was known to be very beautiful and was the favorite of the Aesir gods. He had the greatest ship ever built, ''Hringhorni'', and there was no place more beautiful than his hall, Breidablik. He was married to Nanna and they had a son named Forseti. After he and Frigg had a dream in which they saw his death, Frigg asked everything in creation to promise to not harm him, only forgetting to ask mistletoe, as she thought it was "too young" to swear an oath. |
| 122 | ** The gods would amuse themselves by throwing objects at Balder, knowing that he was immune from harm. However, the blind god Höðr, Baldr's twin brother, deceived by Loki, killed Baldr by hurling a weapon made of mistletoe at him, the only thing that could hurt him. |
| 123 | ** Baldr was ceremonially burnt upon his ship and, as he was carried to it, Odin whispered in his ear. The dwarf Litr was kicked by Thor into the funeral fire and was burnt alive. Nanna, Baldr's wife, also threw herself on the funeral fire to await Ragnarok when she would be reunited with her husband. Baldr's horse with all its trappings was also burned on the pyre. The ship was set to sea by Hyrrokin, a giantess, who came riding on a wolf and gave the ship such a push that fire flashed from the rollers and all the earth shook. |
| 124 | ** After Baldr's funeral, the messenger Hermod was sent to Hel to deliver a ransom to the goddess of the same name, to ask for Baldr's return. Hel promised to release Baldr from the underworld if all objects alive and dead would weep for him. All did, except the giantess Þökk (who was believed to be Loki in disguise), who refused to weep the tears that would release Baldr from death. |
| 125 | ** Thus Baldr had to remain in the underworld and his death was the start of Ragnarök: The death of the Norse Gods and end of the Nine Realms. However, it is known that after Ragnarök, Baldr and Höðr would come back to life and be reconciled, and rule the new earth together with Thor's sons, Möði and Magni. |
| 126 | * The arrival of Baldr into the Pantheon was met with joyous and loud celebration among the Aesir, as many of them are destined to die during Ragnarök prior to his resurrection and thus would never have gotten to see him again otherwise. They accompanied Baldr to his temple, which was modelled after his hall, Breidablik, in which they all continued to party for several days. Later on, Baldr also wished to see Höðr, Nanna and Forseti again, and subsequently appointed them as his heralds. After sharing a tearful reunion, Baldr gave them a tour of the Pantheon. |
| 127 | * Due to the nature of the Pantheon, Baldr exists as a composite of his various incarnations throughout different universes, although his default state is that from Norse Mythology. He's been known to occasionally manifest as a [[VideoGame/TooHuman cybernetically enhanced human]] and a [[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 disheveled guy with tattoos all over his body]]. |
| 128 | * He'd rather not talk about the time that [[Literature/GoingBovine he got turned into a lawn gnome]] and was subjected to the indignities of being stolen by drunken college kids and carried around the world to take pictures of landmarks. He prefers it when people bring up [[Literature/{{Runemarks}} the time]] that he [[spoiler:gave up his second chance at life in order to save the world]]. |
| 129 | * Being a benevolent god of light, Baldr gets along very well with Ezalor, Sora and Hikari Yagami. After learning of Kari's past hardships, Baldr has become quite protective of her. He also managed to befriend the similarly named Father Balder, who was pleased to share his name with someone so kind. Baldr has since regularly teamed up with all of them to fight against the various creatures of darkness in the Pantheon. |
| 130 | * His purity resulted in him getting along with Ventus, Sir Galahad, Kenzo Tenma and Bell Cranel. Baldr was surprised to learn that Bell was familiar with Loki, although he only seemed to know of Loki [[HistoricalGenderFlip as a woman]]. |
| 131 | * He quickly managed to strike up a friendship with Superman, who is similarly known for his incorruptible purity and only being weak to one specific substance. The two have since regularly teamed up. |
| 132 | * Baldr has a rivalry with both Apollo, a fellow god of light, Achilles and Siegfried, both of whom are also well-known for only having a specific weakness. Apollo is somewhat annoyed by the adoration that Baldr receives, mostly because people often keep comparing the two to each other. Achilles was happy to meet a WorthyOpponent who is similarly near-indestructible, although it has resulted in their sparring matches generally ending in stalemates. While Siegfried also occasionally spars with Baldr, the two tend to often team up and somewhat view each other as family due to Siegfried being descended from Odin. |
| 133 | * He's understandably on bad terms with Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Surtr, each of whom is destined to cause much misfortune to the Aesir. The fact that the former two are Loki's children doesn't help matters. He also opposes the Divine Powers, a cabal of ancient gods who seek to regain their lost power. The fact that a different, more evil version of Odin is a member of the Powers only furthered Baldr's dislike of them. |
| 134 | * Baldr quickly came to strongly oppose all evil darkness beings, as his light powers and near-invulnerability made a very formidable opponent. As a result, he has frequently battled against Chernabog and Dark Gaia. |
| 135 | * As the Daedric Prince of Corruption, Molag Bal finds Baldr's very existence disgusting and has been scheming many ways in which he will be broken and tainted, all of which by his own making. Likewise, Baldr himself is firmly against the Daedric Prince and has sworn to protect the Pantheon from his future machinations like many before him and often times has been seen fending off his Daedric servants and other followers. |
| 136 | * Unsurprisingly, his interactions with Loki tend to be quite awkward. When they ran into each other, Baldr chose to forgive Loki for what he had done, although Loki intially rebuffed his efforts to make peace. However, Loki's [[spoiler:more recent desire for redemption and heroism]] has resulted in their meetings having become much friendlier. |
| 137 | * His relationship with Freya tends to vary between his various incarnations. Although he's generally on good terms with her, his incarnation as [[spoiler:The Stranger]] has a very strong dislike of her. Identifying Freya as his mother, this version of Baldr [[SenseLossSadness lost the ability to feel all physical sensations]] for over a century as a result of the curse that made him [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]], which resulted in him [[AxCrazy becoming insane]]. Although he's now aware that mistletoe can render him vulnerable and restore his senses, this version of Baldr of still desires to kill Freya in revenge. However, this once again brought him into conflict with Kratos and Atreus, who otherwise get along with Baldr's regular incarnation. |
| 138 | * He's on rather awkward terms with Hel and Hela. He doesn't really blame either of them for his experiences in Hel, as he understands that they weren't specifically targeting him. Although Hel is typically [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} attracted to Thor]], she [[Literature/{{Runemarks}} did once]] try to induce Balder to stay with her in the land of the dead by feeding him her food, which Baldr politely declined. Hela, on the other hand, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor almost married]] Baldr for tactical purposes, but ended up [[spoiler:marrying his lover Karnilla instead]]. They have remained on awkward speaking terms ever since. |

| 158 | ** Partner: [[Pantheon/{{Scars}} Ashitaka]] |
| 159 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/TimePlacement Dark Danny]]''', [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Randall Ross]], [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 The Four Chaos Gods]], [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Mr. Burns]], [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Looten Plunder]], [[Pantheon/{{Toxicity}} Hexxus]], [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Dr. Weil]] |
| 160 | * Opposes: [[KryptoniteIsEverywhere Evil Flame, Ice and Darkness users]], The Halls of Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} and Pantheon/{{Toxicity}}, [[Pantheon/ElementalPairings Groudon]] |
| 161 | * Throughout history, there has always been a guardian of the forest. This mythical being is a time-travelling pixie called Celebi, a [[PsychicPowers Psychic]]/[[GreenThumb Grass]] type. [[OlympusMons Although powerful]], Celebi has the [[KryptoniteIsEverywhere most weaknesses]] of any Pokémon (along with the non-Legendary Snover and Exeggcute lines). In spite of this, Celebi is still a mighty being who is not to be underestimated. |
| 162 | * While genderless, this particular Celebi in has a feminine personality. [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers She is not be confused with another feminine Celebi]], who is shiny. And no, [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Celebi is not a Fairy-type]]. She still gets along well with them, and likes to hang out with the fey of the pantheon. |
| 163 | * With a 4x weakness, you'd think that Celebi wouldn't get along with bugs. You'd be wrong; as protector of the forests, Celebi is a guardian towards insects. It has formed an alliance with Volcarona, who has used its PowerOfTheSun in tandem with Celebi's GreenThumb for mass reforestation. Just on the safe side though, Celebi always keeps a Tanga Berry on hand. |
| 164 | * Celebi has noticed that Shaymin has a number of similarities to it. Together, they serve to protect the pantheon's forests. She tends to stay out of Hoenn due to Groudon, who's Drought/Desolate Land causes her to burn up. |
| 165 | * [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Has the ability to purify others]] of TheCorruption and MindRape. While difficult due to [[KryptoniteFactor her numerous frailties]], it always manages to restore the user's mind. As such, Celebi has become a thorn in the side of Chaos Gods, and no matter how often they try to kill Celebi she always escapes via TimeTravel. The Emperor of Mankind has found her to be valued support because of this. Unfortunately for the Imperium, her abilities do not work on beings born as TheCorruption like the Chaos Gods themselves, just those cursed by them. |
| 166 | * Despite their alliance, Celebi is too intimidated by [[CrapsackWorld the 41st millennium]] to stick around for long. She's more comfortable with Ashitaka. The former prince never sought to obtain a Pokémon partner to fight by his side. However, during one particular battle between the Nature Preservers and the advocates of pollution led by Mr. Burns, things happened in such a way that he ended up in the very gallant position of protecting Celebi from warriors of the polluting faction. Celebi was really quite taken with his actions, and so the time-traveling forest guardian became attached to him. Ashitaka worries about her tagging along with him, though he doesn't have the heart to chase her away and her psychic and nature powers do occasionally come in handy when he gets himself in a pinch. |
| 167 | * In her own universe, Lugia makes sure to keep an eye on her. [[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness It knows what it's like to be corrupted]], and can count of Celebi for a cure. And while in theory able to cure [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals the Ice King]], Celebi refuses to do so. Thanks to time travel, she knows the crown [[spoiler:exists as the ultimate weapon against the Lich's essence]] and doesn't want to risk bungling it up. Not to mention it's pretty hard to get close to [[KillItWithIce cyromancers]] when you're a Grass-type. |
| 168 | * Due to his desire to destroy nature, Celebi is in conflict against Doctor Weil. She also hates Mr Burns and Looten Plunder for polluting with wild abandon, and because [[CorruptCorporateExecutive he reminds Celebi of Grings Kodai.]] |
| 169 | * Has a spot in the House of Time and Space due to her time-travel abilities, where Celebi gets along with the Doctor. For the sake of temporal coordination, Celebi will seek help from Nozdormu. |
| 170 | * Whenever Celebi travels through time, she creates [[PortalToThePast a time portal]] [[Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions that can grant people a vision of the future]]. This has resulted in the enmity of Randall Ross, who considers this a potential threat to his power. [[EvilIsPetty Also he's angry that he missed out on the Celebi event]]. Her most terrifying and greatest opponent, however, is the malevolent ghost Dark Danny. [[TemporalParadox Existing outside of time]], Celebi is incapable of simply [[RetGone eliminating him from history]] and thus with little defense against him. [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers As her kind has dabbled in saving]] [[BadFuture bad futures]], Dark Danny finds her a nuisance and is trying to turn her into onions for the Nasty Burger. |
| 171 | * As she's capable of seeing if someone isn't in the point of time they're supposed to be, she keeps an eye out for time-travel shenanigans that slip past the other time gods. |

| 186 | * Opposes: The House of Pantheon/FireAndHeat |
| 187 | * Feared by: Immortal beings |
| 188 | * One of the children of Echidna and Typhon, Hydra is a giant serpentine creature who lived in the lake of Lerna. The most striking thing about is that if you were to cut one of it's many heads, it would just grow two more to replace the missing head. The only way to prevent it from growing the heads back is to cauterize the wounds. That, or [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight shoot all of the heads at once]]. Or [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Crushing the body with a giant boulder]]. Or [[WebComic/TheOrderOfTheStick giving it so many heads, they can't get enough blood]]. Note that Hydra has a certain amount of HealingFactor to prevent it to be beaten to death. |
| 189 | * Technically speaking, the Hydra is invincible, since one of its heads is immortal. Hercules only "killed" it by burning the Hydra's body and hiding the last head under a giant boulder. Some believe that the Hydra being in the Pantheon is due to Hera recovering the head and somehow finding out how to recover it back to normal. She did turn it into a consolation and might have raised it, after all. |
| 190 | * Outside of pure strength, the Hydra is also a poisonous creature. It can breathe out poisonous fumes, its blood is deadly to touch and even its scent is deathly. Hercules actually used the creature's blood with his arrows to kill other creatures, though it was the reason why [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Chiron]] discarded his immortality when he was pricked by one of the arrows, as [[ImmortalityHurts the Hydra's poison wouldn't kill him, but neither would it be cured]]. Obviously, there are many who would want to gain Hydra's blood frot heir own purpose, but Hydra itself isn't so cooperative. |
| 191 | * Relations between it and [[Pantheon/DraconicBeings Tiamat]] have been argued about, as [[PaletteSwap they sometimes look quite similar, just with different colours]]. She seems amused by it, but otherwise doesn't care for the Hydra and doesn't think it should be accepted into the Hall of Pantheon/DraconicBeings. |
| 192 | * Mainly used by Hera whenever she's feeling pissy about [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Zeus']] affairs and illegitimate children. Or Hades, [[EverybodyHatesHades whenever he's in a foul mood]]. Usually, the Hydra would just like to be with its father or hang out with Orochi since they share a lot in common being multi-headed reptilian monstrosities. |
| 193 | * Likes Shub-Niggurath, since [[MotherOfAThousandYoung it reminds the Hydra]] of [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas its mother]] Echidna. Despite being a more ferocious and literal monster, the Hydra [[OddFriendship is strangely affable]] with Alipheese Fateburn. Maybe it's because she's a snake monster who leads other monsters, and the Hydra has some serpent basis. Maybe it's how its parents have snakes as part of their biology and are leaders/parents of monsters. |
| 194 | * The blood of the Hydra is utilized by the House of Pantheon/{{Toxicity}}. As it inflicts a CruelAndUnusualDeath, most under Pantheon/MurderAndAssassination and Pantheon/MethodsOfKilling are hesitant and will only use it on a [[ItsPersonal truly personal]] or [[PayEvilUntoEvil truly despicable]] opponent. [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Oberyn Martell]] has been hoping to bring the Mountain even more pain with Hydra blood-dipped spears, which made Gregor rage even more. |
| 195 | * The creature's poisonous blood will continue to persist and be agonizing if an immortal is unfortunate enough to be hurt by it. For this reason, it is feared by all immortal beings, who stay the hell away from it. Especially [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Czeslaw Meyer]] for how his immortality let him be tortured for ~200 years. |
| 196 | * [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Voldemort]] is about the only immortal not to fear the Hydra's poison, mainly because he is convinced that no matter what pain it brings him death is still the worst fate. That, and it'd probably just take his body and have him start over with a new ritual-created one. On that note, the [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation SCP Foundation]] doesn't consider it an acceptable means of getting rid of [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations SCP-682]] because eternal pain will only make 682 ''more'' of an OmnicidalManiac. |
| 197 | * Due to how the Hydra was buried under rocks, it hates those that cause earthquakes as they can cause a boulder fall. Or Geb and Diancie for summoning rocks, stones and other minerals that could bury it. The Hydra also doesn't want to be anywhere in the House of Fire and Heat, since singing the head stumps usually prevents them from regenerating. |
| 198 | * [[MemeticMutation It is highly advised that]] [[Franchise/KingdomHearts you get up the Hydra's back]]. [[SamusIsAGirl Has been said to actually be female]], but no one is brave enough to see if that is the fact. No relation to [[Pantheon/OrganizationsProfiles a certain terrorist organization]] even if they are named after it. |

| 211 | * Special Relations: [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Brynhildr]] |
| 212 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/CommercialArchetypes Fafnir]] |
| 213 | * Siegfried is known as one of the famed dragonslayers in myth, where after defeating Fafnir and bathing on his blood, he was granted an invulnerability boon except on a leaf spot on his back. There's absolutely nothing that can graze his invulnerability unless they aim for that one weak spot, or Siegfried himself wills it. For that, the Pantheon ascended him to the position. |
| 214 | ** The position was once held by Lu Bu. Siegfried's response about it was "Sorry." He also apologized for moving the House from Combat to Power. |
| 215 | * He was quite surprised that Fafnir somehow materialized back in the Pantheon, but he was more surprised that the Fafnir standing before him was... a dwarf. Fafnir was ''very'' annoyed that his slayer didn't even bother to check his origin, but regardless, he demanded a rematch after [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} a lot of times training by fighting other Gods.]] Siegfried believes that it is destiny that they will be locked in combat forever and braced himself. |
| 216 | ** Though there's also a line of people wanting to fight him anyway. In particular, Karna, Mordred and Achilles were ecstatic that this time, they fight against the true form of Siegfried, not a homunculus that took his form. They DO want a full extent of Siegfried's invulnerability, considering a catalyst for a super epic battle. |
| 217 | ** He's also quite glad to see his ally during the Red vs Black faction Holy Grail War, Astolfo. He said that he'll try to see where the homunculus that he gave his heart for (Sieg) went off. With the help of Jeanne as well. |
| 218 | * [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder He was several times summoned to help out in the troubles of Chaldea.]] But for some reason, [[LowTierLetdown the process ends up cursing him with some sort of weakness that he couldn't perform as well that]] [[MemeticMutation it reaches legendary status of mockery.]] Other Heroic Spirits that are at least good understand his plight and suspect that even his invulnerability was infectuous to that 'curse'/'weakness' that it's also ''invulnerable'', and all he could say was "Sorry." |
| 219 | * The Sword Balmung is known not only for slaying dragons, but also shooting out powerful beams that decimate a lot of things. Therefore, he's a Saber that can shoot beams. Sorry. |
| 220 | * He has a rather WEIRD relationship with the Valkyrie Brynhild. While he does appreciate her company when fighting together, he had to remind her that he's NOT her Sigurd, despite her thinking they're too similar and starting to love him more and increasing her urge to kill him as a result. And as he remembered it, he knew a Brynhild who was instead a queen of Iceland... |
| 221 | ** That said, he'll have everyone warned that if his wife Kriemhild knows he's 'dead' again, [[CrusadingWidow she would unleash hell.]] |
| 222 | ** Brynhild once invited him to watch something [[WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc she was actually pretty fond of]], together. Siegfried did enjoy it, but if asked if he could recite "Kill da wabbit kill da wabbit kill da wabbit" while swinging his Balmung to recreate the effect of "Nowth winds bwow! South winds bwow! Typhoons! Huwwicanes! Eawthquakes! SMOOOOOOGGGGG!!", especially when there was nothing important on the stake, he'll sternly reply with, "I'm sorry, [[EveryoneHasStandards but no.]]" |
| 223 | * As the title of Dragonslayer has been taken by The Dovahkiin, Siegfried found himself engaging in a rivalry in those terms with him. |
| 224 | * He's also friends with the same-named [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Siegfried Schtauffen]], though Siegfried shows his condolences about how the latter ended up possessed by the Soul Edge but now is on the path of atonement. |
| 225 | * He's a believer of being a Hero of Justice that helps people. For that, he became quite a friend with Emiya Shirou, as they share ideals and there's something similar about that homunculus he saved within Shirou. However, Shirou warned him that his alternate self might not like the idea of being a Hero of Justice that much, especially coming from [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe the same voice.]] |
| 226 | * One should remember that in the end of the day, Siegfried [[HeroicSelfDeprecation does not view himself in good light]]. To him, he is [[FailureHero a failure]]. A hero who helped his future brother-in-law to defile a woman so that she can truly marry her, what caused conflict between her and his own wife. A man who let himself die to prevent further disaster between the two, only for his wife to go to avenge his death, causing more people to get hurt. A hero who in the end only caused tragedies. And the only thing he can say is "I'm sorry". |
| 227 | * Has an InvisibilityCloak called Tarnkappe what he received alongside Balmung and most of his treasures. However, after his death, it sort of disappeared. He doesn't necessarily miss it, as it reminds him of what he did to deserve his death. |
| 228 | * Thanks to a call to arms by Astolfo that noticed that something was wrong with Jeanne with the possibility of being brainwashed by YHVH, Siegfried helped out in investigating the case, which led him to Jeanne Alter who once summoned a 'fake' version of himself and managed to find a clue about the foul play that YHVH used. |

| 248 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches Missingno]] |
| 249 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Memes}} JonTron]] |
| 250 | * Wary of: The Halls of Pantheon/FireAndHeat, Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches |
| 251 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/PrideAndEgotism Vegeta]], [[Pantheon/HeroicAchievementsAndLosses Ahura Mazda]] |
| 252 | * Conflicted Opinions from: [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Solid Snake]], [[Pantheon/JusticeBringers Raiden]] (from ''Metal Gear'') |
| 253 | * Conflicting opinion of: [[Pantheon/{{Derivatives}} Homelander]], [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling River Song]] |
| 254 | * Silver the Hedgehog is a psychokinetic hedgehog from at least 200 years in the future. He first appeared in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', initially as an antagonist as he believed Sonic was to blame for the monstrous Iblis ruining his future. Eventually this future was undone, but there were more time travel shenanigans and other [[BadFuture bad futures]] that he showed up to try and solve...his success rate is somewhat dubious, though. Thanks to his psychokinesis he can catch and throw objects, or people if sufficiently enraged. They also allow give him flight. |
| 255 | * Was once scorned by the gods, especially for his [[ThatOneBoss performance]] during the year 2006. However, once that was erased from collective memory, and [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Sonic's birthday]] allowed him to prove the full power of his psychokinesis, many were more than willing to allow Silver to ascend. In spite of the timeline being changed, Silver still has the scorn of [=JonTron=], over the boss battle he had with Sonic in Soleanna. The other Sonic deities are more forgiving. Some of them have more noticeable interactions. |
| 256 | ** Blaze was his closest friend and ally in the Crisis City timeline. [[ContinuitySnarl How that's possible considering she's from another universe is unknown]]. The fact Solaris exists in the pantheon has re-ignited their old memories of one another, though they have been seen getting along in some non-canon spin-off games. Interestingly despite not meeting each other in canon after the timeline reset, they have the same arch-enemy in Eggman Nega. [[MultipleChoicePast Granted, his own timeline is rather inconsistent]]; officially he's from the future, but his reason for being in the present Sol Dimension has never been explored. |
| 257 | ** Got off on the wrong foot with Sonic; first by trying to kill him as he thought he was the Iblis Trigger[[note]][[MetaphoricallyTrue technically, he was]][[/note]] and then by being a dickish rival in the reset timeline. Over time [[TookALevelInKindness he's become nicer]] and regards Sonic as a friend, but still considers him a rival. He also got off the wrong foot with Amy because of trying to go after Sonic, but her positive presence aided in him avoiding falling into KnightTemplar territory. |
| 258 | ** Shadow was the one who made Silver realize Mephiles was manipulating him to ruin the future, and along with Sonic they defeated Solaris and allowed Sonic to go back and [[RetGone remove the entity from history]]. The two have worked together in the rebooted timeline, and Silver seems to think Shadow's cool. Because they share some physical similarities[[note]]the CarpetOfVirility being the most obvious[[/note]], [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight their Arthurian counterparts were Lancelot and Galahad]], and [[{{Expy}} are similar]] to Vegeta and Future Trunks [[AmbiguouslyRelated some have speculated they're father and son]]. Officially they're not, [[TheAgeless but since Shadow could survive to Silver's era]] the theory was in the realm of possibility. |
| 259 | * Since Eggman wants to conquer the world and this doesn't bode well for his future, Silver doesn't like him. [[VideoGame/SonicForces He played a part in the Resistance against him]], though unlike his former enforcer Infinite he doesn't ''hate'' him. Eggman is somewhat thankful of the hedgehog for thwarting the schemes of his impersonating [[IdenticalGrandson descendant]] Eggman Nega, who Silver was able to remove from the pantheon. [[EnemyMine He will work with Silver]] to thwart Mephiles' villainous goals, [[PokeThePoodle even if]] [[WebAnimation/TheFrolloShow it's playing pranks on Frollo and Gaston]]. They've also been known for working together to stop Zamasu, who Silver finds eerily similar to Solaris[[note]]they're multi-formed [[SatanicArchetype fallen deities]] [[BadFuture who ruined the future]] [[OmnicidalManiac and want to kill everyone]][[/note]]. |
| 260 | * One of Silver's biggest flaws is his naivety. [[InspectorJavert Lack of proper context has resulted in him butting heads with a number of good deities]], but once the truth is revealed he joined up with them to fight against the real threat. |
| 261 | ** After hearing of [[VideoGame/MegaManZero the Elf Wars and Neo Arcadia]] he accused the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' era X and Zero of [[FallenHero becoming villains in their future]] and tried to stop them. They informed them that the tyrant Copy X and Omega ''aren't'' them, though the do understand why he made the mistake; Copy X was a perfect replication of X, [[PsychopathicManchild except childish and dangerous without the life experience]], and Omega [[spoiler:inhabits the original body of Zero]]. [[AntiAntiChrist Zero was also created to be a weapon of mass destruction in the first place]]. Now Silver is working to thwart [[spoiler:their doubles]], and Dr Weil, alongside the two Maverick Hunters. |
| 262 | ** He later fought Danny Fenton due to believing that he would become Dark Danny. Danny explained that [[AlternateTimeline originally, he did]], however like Silver he believed [[ScrewDestiny there is no fate but what we make of it]] and prevented himself from becoming Dark Danny. Besides, while Danny has potential to become evil like anyone, Dark Danny ''fully'' a future Danny but his ghost half after overshadowing [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Vlad Master's]] ghost half [[FusionDance and becoming something worse]]. Silver muses that in hindsight, he may have become a KnightTemplar villain had he not been convinced not to kill Sonic. |
| 263 | ** [[spoiler:Similarly he and John Connor found themselves in conflict because in one timeline he was ReforgedIntoAMinion; the T-3000. That incarnation of John is still enemies with Silver, but most versions of John accepted Silver.]] John sympathized with his desire to change the future for the better, since [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct despite his and his family's attempts he can't seem to get rid of SKYNET]]. He noticed that due to his similarity to Future Trunks, he had a bit of his dad Kyle Reese in him. After this talk the only other time he and Connor were in conflict was a case of mistaken identity with his "Uncle Bob" and the T-800 that was sent to terminate Sarah before John could be born. Uncle Bob doesn't hold it against him since SKYNET likes [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger the 101 model]]. |
| 264 | * Envy attempted to exploit Silver's naivety by impersonating Sonic and other heroic deities in order to frame them. A lot of this was ForTheEvulz, but it was also a means of turning Silver into a SpannerInTheWorks as he wasn't familiar with Envy's track record so Father could be less concerned about someone from the future intervening in his plans. [[CharacterDevelopment However Silver's time in the pantheon has made him smarter and less naive]], so while he was fooled somewhat he acted more civil to the heroes he was impersonating. Silver managed to piece two and two together and was advised to check if someone was way heavier than they should be; it almost certainly means Envy is impersonating them since they can't change their mass. |
| 265 | * After the experience with Envy and encountering a number of evil doubles, Silver has kept his eye on the House of Pantheon/{{Derivatives}} for said "evil doubles". He soon became opposed to the evil actions of the Batman Who Laughs and Homelader. More specifically the TV incarnation of Homelander. The comic Homelander is a pretty lousy person [[TheAtoner but he's trying to improve himself]] as he only did the horrible things he did [[spoiler:because Black Noir gaslit him with far worse atrocities]]. On a sillier note, Silver gets annoyed whenever people call him [[WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries Pothead the Porcupine]]; [[UnfortunateCharacterDesign not his fault how his head quills look]]. |
| 266 | * Barbatos has noticed Silver's opposition to the Batman Who Laughs and decided to fashion a new dark universe based around his fears; where Silver ''succeeded'' at killing Sonic, and Solaris re-emerged early. Despite managing to bring Sonic back and fight, it went poorly and Silver was forced to try and seal the reduced flame of the defeated Solaris in a desperate bid for the power to restore the broken timeline. [[KnightTemplar However that Silver had different plans]] and "Solar Silver" ruled the remains with an iron fist. Silver has grown an utter hatred of Barbatos for engineering ''[[Pantheon/{{Dimensions}} a multiverse]]'' where all stories end badly |
| 267 | * With their similar histories and goals, Silver has become friends with Lucina and Future Trunks. The three of them have together formed a bond, and they'll help the other in need. This friendship has also placed Silver in the crosshairs of The Dahaka, which hunts down Lucina for her actions in changing her fate (and no doubt would probably go after him and Trunks next if it ever caught her). The three of them have stood together and beaten back the horned Guardian of the Timeline on a number of occasions. Silver also became close friends with Galahad as he's a pure-hearted knight and hero that Silver looks up to. [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight As mentioned, Silver IS Galahad in another universe]]. |
| 268 | * [[Creator/LauraBailey Lucina's current voice]] also reminds him of his good friend Blaze the Cat. Hilariously enough, people have pointed out that due to his and Trunks' [[Creator/TakeshiKusao respective]] [[Creator/DaisukeOno voices]], they may or may not be akin to the Sanada brothers, [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors Yukimura and Nobuyuki]]. Lack of speech falls onto everyone's minds at that point. Funny enough, Nobuyuki himself needed to hide from some fangirls at some point with the timely assistance of Silver. While they're starting to get along ever since, Nobuyuki explained the reason for that being both of their voices seemed to radiate an ominous fragrance that was very akin to [[Pantheon/{{Trickery}} Sebastian Michaelis]]' charm. Both of them shuddered at the thought. |
| 269 | * Solid Snake is reminded of [[Pantheon/MindGames Psycho Mantis]] whenever he witnesses Silver's power. He commented, "good thing he doesn't have fire powers, at least." The relief was short-lived when Silver told Snake that his friend Blaze the Cat had fire powers instead. Raiden has heard of how Silver went back in time to try and kill Sonic to change the future. This reminded him of his own futile attempt at killing Big Boss, at which Raiden can now look back and laugh. He also finds something [[Creator/QuintonFlynn oddly familiar]] about his voice. |
| 270 | * If you want to use time travel for evil, and especially if you want to use it [[OmnicidalManiac to destroy the world]], count yourself as Silver's sworn enemies. [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Lord English, Maltruant]], Zamasu, Boris, [[Pantheon/TimeTravelling Eobard Thawne]]; they can ''all'' burn in hell as far as he's concerned, '''[[CompleteMonster and for VERY good reasons]]'''. Silver is working tirelessly with the Pantheonic Time Police to thwart them. Thawne mocked Silver by being an ametaur when it comes to fixing the timeline compared to him. Surprisingly [[VillainHasAPoint Silver actually agreed]], [[InsultBackfire so he plans to learn from the more seasoned members of the Time Police so he can stop the likes of the Reverse-Flash]]. |
| 271 | * The GUAD counts themselves as Silver's enemy, by default [[OmnicidalManiac as everyone and everything not part of the GUAD are their enemies]], and for personal reasons as Silver's [[ArchEnemy arch enemies]] seek to and partially succeed in destroying his world. SKYNET too, since it's modus operandi is "[[KillAllHumans destroy all organic life]] and when that fails, send robots back in time so I succeed". Less omnicidal is Gorilla Grodd, who "only" plans to destroy homo sapiens but [[TheUnfettered will go to any extreme to do so]] and who's own psychic powers vexes Silver. |
| 272 | * Among the GUAD Silver really hates Death Phantom. He orchestrated a BadFuture, and is a lot like Mephiles; [[TheChessmaster chessmasters]] who wish to destroy the universe [[ForTheEvulz for no real reason]]; Phantom doesn't even bother [[FauxAffablyEvil pretending to be nice about it]]. Silver's absolute anger at Wiseman extends to his corruption of Chibi-Usa, as he's particuarly fond of her. As Silver wants to protect the timeline from those who'd ruin the future, the present's aid of the rest of the Sailor Senshi, especially Sailor Pluto, really helps him. By teaming up with the Sailor Senshi the psychic hedgehog feels confident he can stop the BadFuture that Death Phantom can be stopped, alongside Lavos and Grima who wish to ruin the future. |
| 273 | * Clockwork has chosen to mentor him in the field of time travel, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain which has led to Thawne kicking himself for unintentionally giving Silver advice because he's becoming a better problem]]. He even joined up with both Flashes! One of his lessons was to both keep an eye and start to learn to trust River Song. Despite her anti-hero escapades River means well and she knows Silver isn't exactly fond of working with her considering her outlaw past. Plus even a time traveler like Silver has trouble keeping River's timeline straight. |
| 274 | * Silver tends to avoid the Hall of Fire and Heat. This doesn't have anything to do with the deities, but because it reminds him of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 two]] [[VideoGame/SonicRivals bad]] [[BadFuture futures]] where the world is a fiery hellscape. Surtr really wants to see that fiery hellscape become an inescapable reality, and given his similarity to Iblis Silver hates the fire giant more than any deity outside of the collective identities of Solaris. Surtr remains convinced that Silver's efforts to ScrewDestiny are doomed and [[YouCannotFightFate he is destined]] to SetTheWorldOnFire, so he doesn't respect the hedgehog all that much. |
| 275 | * One of his preferred lines of BossBanter is to inform his opponent that nothing they can do will have any consequence. In other words, [[MemeticMutation IT'S NO USE!]] [[GoodBadBugs Through gaming bugs]] his psychic powers in a boss battle are so powerful they can fling someone into space. He rarely takes advantage of the Hall of Cheats and Glitches however, as he knows his introductory game is notorious for it and doesn't want to be associated with buggy software. He's quite distrustful of Missingno with the rumors that [[EldritchAbomination it's far worse than a mere glitchy being]]. Later research confirms [[spoiler:this is only really true [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall in one corner of the multiverse]] ]] and Missingno on its own is harmless. |
| 276 | * Once stopped Vile's plans during [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsUnite a merging of worlds]]. Vile, naturally, is looking to pick a fight with him once more. He was glad to have a win, since sometimes the future becoming a [[BadFuture bad one]] makes him feel like a FailureHero. Silver holds a level of admiration to the Zoroastrian GodOfGood since he embodies a principle of [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin good prevailing over evil]], and a more personal admiration for Vegeta due to his determination, [[AwesomeEgo justified pride]] and [[{{Expy}} being a lot like]] Shadow the Hedgehog. |
| 277 | * One of the things Silver did with the pantheon's resources is try to go back in time and stop [[Pantheon/MentalismOther John F Kennedy]] from being assassinated. [[WhoShotJFK Also find out all the details]]. The Doctor showed up and informed him he probably shouldn't get involved; there are other time periods where his help is more needed and messing with the Kennedy assassination [[ButterflyOfDoom usually ends poorly]]. President Kennedy consoled him on this, [[FaceDeathWithDignity stated he accepted it happening]] [[HeroicSacrifice if it means the timeline is protected]], and hopes that he makes his future a good one. Despite the [[BadFuture bad futures]] Silver has tried to avert, JFK sees a silver lining in that none of them [[WorldWarIII were because of a cataclysmic war]] like he narrowly avoided in the Cuban Missile Crisis. |
| 278 | * Curiously enough, Silver and N are friends. The two found they have a fair bit in common; both are well-intentioned figures flawed in their approach who were manipulated by a heartless sociopath for their gain, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist with them lying about their goals]]. Both started as naive, but have managed to grow to be more sure of themselves over time. |
| 279 | * Despite his naivety and tendency to make mistakes, Silver tends to lead the future to be changed for the better in the long term. [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW When Dr Eggman unintentionally unleashed]] [[ZombieApocalypse the Metal Virus]] Silver was explicitly the variable which changed a doomsday scenario from "inevitable" to "avoidable", considering his new BadFuture was a Zombot Apocalypse and he wasn't part of the past there. |

| 315 | * [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 When making his original brand of Robot Masters]] rather than just stealing some for his plans, Dr Wily considered a new type of method of attack his Robot Masters could have-[[OrbitingParticleShield stuff floating as a shield that could also be used as an offense]]. Wood Man was made with the power to turn his leaves into a moving shield that could also be flung at the opponent. Other Robot Master designers would use this blueprint, and when Wily feels like not doing the leg-work of making a new Robot Master he has a habit of stealing them. Wily has personally made two more Robot Masters with this power; Star Man and Junk Man. |
| 316 | * Applies to all of them |
| 317 | ** The introduction of the three different Robot Masters under one trope was Dr Wily wanting to show off his genius, under the pretense of "variety is good for the Trope Pantheon". People knew he was motivated by the former, [[VillainHasAPoint but also liked the official point he made]]. Like most of his Robot Masters Wood, Star and Junk Man aren't evil persay, but are JustFollowingOrders. Star Man and Roll outright get along because he's a big fan of hers. They still oppose Mega Man though due to their orders. And like all Wily-bots Bass has a hard time working with them as he considers all other creations of Wily as somewhat of an affront to his ego and getting in the way of his rivalry with Mega Man. Junk Man is usually the diplomatic one of the three when trying to get on Bass's good side, [[VideoGame/MegaMan7 since they used to team up with one another]]. Among Wily's loyal Robot Masters, each prefers to team up with the one from their own games: Wood Man with Quick Man, [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Star Man with Gyro Man]] and Junk Man with Spring Man. |
| 318 | ** In his legendary team-up with [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM Dr Eggman]], Wily had pretty much all Robot Masters he ever controlled on his side to oppose both his and Eggman's worlds. As such, Wood, Star and Junk Man don't get along with Eggman's foes/Sonic and friends either. Again, [[PunchClockVillain this is more to do with their programming]] [[JustFollowingOrders and they don't have any real animosity to Sonic and friends]]. The only person all three are united in true hatred is Ra Moon, which is completely unsurprising [[VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman given their past history]] and Ra Moon's [[CompleteMonster horrid personality]]. Also, while they don't hate Kirby they don't really like the pink hero as Kirby's ability to inhale and absorb enemies reminds them of Mega Man's copy abilities they have to deal with whenever Wily summons them. |
| 319 | ** As they aren't "main characters" they haven't really interacted much with Bob and George, especially Junk Man. However Star Man remembers the former had bossed him around in other world, and later on he was part of a Robot Tournament. There he held PopularityPower However he was defeated by a more popular Robot Master, Shadow Man, in the tournament and was first thwarted by [[ChummyCommies the communist Ran Cossack]] by being blacklisted. Given the general craziness [[WeirdnessMagnet they seem to bring]] they've made a decision not to fight the two. Wood Man was especially adamant they don't since he's weak to Bob's pyrokinesis, and Junk Man doubled down as he's weak to George's electrokinesis. |
| 320 | * Applies to Wood Man |
| 321 | ** Wood Man is one of Wily's more unorthodox Robot Master designs, and he takes pride in that: he is a robot made out of wood...[[BambooTechnology somehow]]. He was the first to use an OrbitingParticleShield, that being a Leaf Shield, and initially ascended with it on his own. However Wily wanted an excuse to add more Robot Masters, and Wood Man liked the company. [[AffablyEvil He's actually pretty nice when he's not fighting for evil]], unless you're someone like Ragnaros who brings [[KillItWithFire fire]] to the forest...or [[Webcomic/BobAndGeorge you make innuendos about his name]]. He didn't get the innuendos at first and he's not happy with it now. He also doesn't get along with Al'Akir for that matter because of his weakness to [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud funnel clouds]]. |
| 322 | ** While the three Robot Masters [[PunchClockVillain are only evil because they're following Wily's orders]], the environmentalist Wood Man tends to reach out more to heroic deities than the other two. As much as his programming allows he hopes that if Wily ever has/lets him have a HeelFaceTurn, he can work with Captain Planet to protect nature and the forest. Poison Ivy is more willing to work with him given she's at best an anti-hero and she loves plants more than he does. Despite serving evil, Smokey Bear has zero problems working with Wood Man because the latter has everything to gain by prevent forest fires. |
| 323 | ** He dislikes Rotom who keeps trying to [[HauntedTechnology hijack him]] and messes with his garden in Mow Form. In his frustration of Mow Rotom ruining yet another backyard, he decided to mess credits of Music/SiIvaGunner[='s=] albums by somehow turning himself into a virus and infecting [=SiIva=]'s computer. After being done messing with [=SiIva=]'s computer, he then tried to catch Nozomi for the voice, but quit and teamed up with Robbie Rotten to catch superheroes. [=SiIvaGunner=] doesn't really mind him though, thanks to [=mm2wood=] becoming a fan favorite meme. In fact, [=SiIva=] sometimes lets him have control of the channel for a day or two. |
| 324 | ** To an extent Wood Man [[WhenTreesAttack is an evil tree]], which got Exdeath's attention. He was curious, but Wood Man was scared as he knows [[OmnicidalManiac what Exdeath wants]]. Wood Man loves nature, and while a plant [[BotanicalAbomination there's NOTHING natural about Exdeath]]. The Robot Master is a lot more interested in "natural" plant elementals. These include Treebeard, an actual walking, talking tree, Shaymin who has power over petals and flora, and Swamp Thing who is a defender of the Green and plants. Wood Man would love to be part of the Green one day, but as he's a) still a robot and b) works for [[MadScientist Wily]] this dream won't get off the ground. |
| 325 | * Applies to Star Man |
| 326 | ** The vainglorious Star Man [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 was part of Wily's "frame Proto Man" plan]]. Designed for space exploration he's optimal in low-gravity conditions, and he possesses StarPower. He initially petitioned to ascend singularly as Wood Man once did, but Aurelion Sol was considered [[PhysicalGod far more appropriate given he MAKES stars]]. Star Man has still tried to argue he's more deserving and [[BullyingADragon has taunted the Star Forger]]. Fortunately for him, [[UnknownRival Aurelion Sol doesn't even notice]]. Star Man has a similar one-sided rivalry towards Rosalina and the Lumas, who further aggravated him by pointing out that what he's using technically aren't stars. |
| 327 | ** The place he took over is a satellite base. However he doesn't let what he took over go to waste, being in charge of supervising and remodeling it. To his horror, the telescope revealed Planet Remina in the distance. This was during one of its rampages the Trope Pantheon has to deal with once in a while, but it made Star Man a bit scared of being in space. The C'tan also disturb him as [[EldritchAbomination among other traits]], they feed and poison on stars. In order to feel more secure he went after the living star Ristar, seeking to somehow gain his power for his own...and being the egotistical ''Star'' Man, he wanted to prove he was better than Ristar. It didn't go anywhere and Wily admonished Star Man as all he'd done is given him another enemy. |
| 328 | ** Star Man's no Gemini Man level of narcissist, but he's certainly one of the most vain Robot Masters Wily made. For start he regards himself as an ardent romanticist and dreams of traveling the stars with a lover. [[Manga/MegamanMegamix He even has a spare rose for any suitors]]. His attempt to pick up chicks hasn't worked out, not helping matters being that he asked ''Johnny Bravo'' for advice. While it could be a refusal to admit he made a mistake, Star Man is still sticking with him so they can give each other tips in being cool. Wily thinks that [[NobleMaleRoguishMale Star Man wants to be the Noble Male to Johnny's Roguish Male]], and also thinks this is all ridiculous since Star Man is a battle robot yet a CasanovaWannabe. [[SelfDeprecation Of course, he's the one who made him so]]... |
| 329 | ** Star Man enjoys the limelight, which is why he goes to try and prove himself in the Media, Popularity and Theatre Houses. Dr Wily encourages Star Man make a positive spectacle of himself, as he previously had him work with the other [=MM5=] Robot Masters in an amusement park as a part-time gig in order to make money. It was a stunt Star Man did for Wily, but found himself genuinely enjoying it. He enjoyed it so much he decided to make his own amusement park, and looked for Moon Man and Bender for mascots; the former because he wanted a moon to complete the night sky theme, and Bender because he heard he was funny. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Star Man was horrified at how racist Moon Man was]], and he had made the mistake [[MemeticPsychopath of picking the meme version over the original]]. Bender wasn't nearly as appalling, but Star Man booted him out for being too crass for his liking. |
| 330 | * Applies to Junk Man |
| 331 | ** Looking like Frankenstein's Monster, Junk Man is a robot based off recycling old parts. It's through this that [[OffscreenVillainDarkmatter is able to pay off some of his expenses]]. Despite being literally made of junk, Junk Man's a cunning economist and he takes after his creator in being a MadScientist. Despite not being part of Wily's entourage the Robot Master has taken a liking to Cave Johnson due to his views on [[ForScience science]]. Despite being a robot Junk Man loves himself junk ''food'', which doesn't help with the bad breath he already gets working with the trash. Much as he doesn't like GIR's stupidity, he enjoys binging on junk food with him. However [[EveryoneHasStandards he's as disgusted by raw garbage as everyone else]]. |
| 332 | ** Because of his [[MadScientist intelligence]] and Frakenstein monster-like design, he tends to get along well with Frankenstein's Monster himself. And as a robot associated with junk, Junk Man finds WALL-E adorable in how he processes, recycles and cleans up the world. During one of his repurposing of old machine parts he had briefly gotten the attention of Ennard/Molten Freddy, who went on its way after losing interest in Junk Man's "interesting aesthetic". The Robot Master hasn't, as he's continually baffled by how Ennard/Molten Freddy can even function as a robot and really wants to know why. Wily [[MadScientist can guess why]], and he admits to also wanting to know why. |
| 333 | ** Despite, well, ''everything'' about him, Junk Man is in an agreement with Wood Man in not liking Hexxus. Seems ironic at first, until you remember he believes in recycling materials to re-use. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall He even had his position in the Trope Pantheon recycled!]] He doesn't like Mr Burns either, and as an economist he disagrees with a number of his business practices. That said, unlike Wood Man [[PragmaticVillainy his environmentalism is for the sake of practicality]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk so don't think he's being nice]]; his fight with the Dung Defender was a case of him still be antagonistic. However the robot still sold it as being slighted, since the Dung Defender's trips through the sewer line led him into Junk Man's lair and [[DisproportionateRetribution they fought because Junk Man didn't like the stink he brought]][[note]][[{{Hypocrite}} or that his own was brought up]][[/note]] |
| 334 | ** Junk Man made the mistake of getting into an altercation with Wolverine as he mistook him for fellow [=MM7=] Robot Master and friend [[WolverineClaws Slash Man]]. Wolverine replied "[[WolverineWannabe feel I should sue him, bub]]", and Junk Man being angry at this statement led to him trying to capture the mutant in some vain hope that Wily could study him and build an Adamantium Man. Though Wolverine eventually slashed him apart, the TrashTalk between them did reveal an interested anecdote: don't bother with Magneto. Research revealed that like Junk Man Wolverine is weak to Magneto's magnetic powers...and in one altercation, Magneto ''ripped the adamantium out of him'', which very nearly killed [[HealingFactor Wolverine]]. Junk Man swiftly wrote down the Master of Magnetism as "someone I should never EVER antagonize". |
