Season 1: A Game Of Gods Champions (Retired) | Twilight Of The Gods Overlords | NPCs (Nomads)
Season 2: Infinities Champions | Taskforce Sifuri (Team Magic | Team Science) | Eclipse of the Gods Overlords (Retired)
The villainous protagonists of Twilight of the Gods.
Warning: All spoilers are unmarked.
Megatron
Eons ago, Megatron overthrew the Decepticon leader Megazarak and took control of the faction for himself. He gave speeches and wrote manifestos calling for the Decepticons to rise up and take control of both Cybertron and the AllSpark from the Autobots. Finally, on the Cycle of Infamy, he took the Decepticons from mere rhetoric to outright war. The Decepticons overran Autobot space but the Autobots under Ultra Magnus had one major advantage - space bridge technology, which allowed them to move about the galaxy more easily.
If you were to ask Megatron to describe himself in one word, he'd probably go with "heroic". He sees himself as a freedom fighter, leading the Decepticons out of the days of "Autobot tyranny". The fact he's hoping to replace that with Decepticon tyranny isn't really a concern. A fanatic at spark, he revels in every Autobot who suffers at Decepticon hands and doesn't register humans as anything more than "collateral damage." With the combined threat of a sharp mind, his fusion cannon, a pair of deadly swords and simple brute strength, there aren't many who'd dare cross him.
- Arm Cannon: It wouldn't be Megatron if he didn't have a gigantic fusion cannon attached to his arm.
- Dual Wielding: He wields a sword in each hand for melee combat.
- Humongous Mecha: He's good thirty feet tall at least, a fact which made him the largest of the Overlords until Bolas came along.
- Mechanical Lifeforms: He's a sapient robot with a tangible soul and comes from an entire planet of the same.
- Psychotic Smirk: When either he's making the others uncomfortable or things are going well.
- Transforming Mecha: He's a Transformer. He can switch between a humanoid robot mode and a VTOL helicopter vehicle mode.
- Weak to Magic: Megatron and his Decepticons don't do well in the presence of magic. Just being around a magic-user while they're casting a spell is enough to disrupt Megatron's sensors and leave him with "processor-aches".
General Zod
When the space program was abolished after the destruction of the inhabited moon Wegthor by the renegade scientist Jax-Ur, Zod attempted to take over Krypton and created an army of robotic duplicates of himself (all bearing a resemblance to Bizarro). He was sentenced to exile in the Phantom Zone for his crimes. Zod was first released by Kal-El during his career as Superboy when his term of imprisonment was up. However, he attempted to conquer Earth with the powers he gained under the yellow sun. Zod was sent back into the Phantom Zone, occasionally escaping to target Superman.
- Eye Beams: He can blast enemies with his heatvision.
- Flying Brick: He has the same powerset as his hated rival Superman: flight, super strength, super speed, x-ray vision, Nigh-Invulnerability, the ability to shoot Eye Beams and an icy Breath Weapon...
- Human Alien: He's from Krypton and they look like humans.
- Kneel Before Zod: Well of course. He attempts this on most of the other villains. Those either cowed or seeing profit in serving him kneel. The others rather violently decline.
- Offing the Offspring: Indirectly. He summons his son Lor-Zod, whom he despises, and commands Azula to kill him as a test of her skills and loyalty. Lor-Zod is quickly reduced to a charred pile of bones.
Vanitas
Vanitas is, to say the least, a skilled and extremely aggressive opponent, showing a mastery in both dark magic and wielding the Keyblade. He is swift and agile, able to perform complicated and nearly impossible acrobatic feats.
- The Faceless: Hidden either by his helmet or by the shadows of wherever he's standing.
- Humanoid Abomination: Vanitas may look and act like a human teenager in a weird costume, but he's really an Unversed, a being of pure Darkness.
- Magic Knight: Vanitas is equally as skilled at hacking enemies to pieces with his keyblade as he is at blasting them with magical projectiles.
Sigma
- Affably Evil: Right off the bat, he tries his best to stop the fighting.
- Fallen Hero: He was once the best and brightest among the Maverick Hunters.
- Robot War: If there was ever a Reploid uprising back on Earth, he would've been responsible.
- The Virus: The thing that made him the monster that he is now, and a risk for any AI in the vicinity.
Princess Azula
The most noticeable feature of Princess Azula's bending is her ability to create her characteristic blue flames, which are much more intense than the red, orange and yellow fire normally used by Firebenders. She is also an expert in unarmed combat, a cunning strategist and has good physical strength.
- The Dragon: Doesn't mind doing her dad's work, which is to retrieve her brother Zuko.
- Fille Fatale: She attempts to seduce Zod and Dr. Horrible, who both react to being propositioned by a teenager with varying degrees of "Nope". Granted, where she comes from fourteen qualifies for adulthood.
- Trauma Button: Anything that reminds her of her Missing Mom Ursa. Upon learning that one of Zod's minions is also named Ursa, Azula has a violent mental breakdown, convinced that the Kryptonian Ursa is an apparition of her mother brought forth to torment her.
- The Vamp:
- Has already come on to Zod in an attempt to strike an allegiance with him. Being a Kryptonian, he didn't understand any of it.
- She's also tried it on Doctor Horrible, but this time the recipient flipped out completely and ran, screaming across the Lair to get away from her.
- Warrior Princess: Fire Nation royalty that works in the Fire Nation's military.
Darth Maul
Maul was snatched by the Nomads before he managed to kill Qui-Gon Jinn in the Theed Generator Complex
.
- Arc Number: All of his droids have something to do with the number 2.
- Double Weapon: Swings a double-bladed lightsaber. Also, his Zhaboka in the Odin Drive Us challenge.
- Dual Wielding: As of this post.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side!: He pledges himself to Nicol Bolas's service upon meeting the dragon, recognizing him as the most powerful Overlord.
- Laser Blade: He's a Star Wars villain. Of course he wields a lightsaber.
- Mind over Matter: He typically uses the Force to telekinetically fling his opponents around, choke them, or crush them.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: His body is covered in red and black tattoos, he wears black robes, and he wields a red-bladed lightsaber. Naturally, he's a violent Card-Carrying Villain of a Sith Lord.
- Tattooed Crook: His entire body is covered with black Dark Side tattoos.
Daido/Kamen Rider Eternal
As his plans were thwarted by Double, he cursed the rider with his last breath, but not before the Nomads took him.
- All Your Powers Combined: Daido can use the Zone Memory to summon the other T2 memories for a Never Ending Hell rider kick.
- Antagonist in Mourning: Daido makes a grave for Gilgamesh after finding out that he was Killed Off for Real. With the name being Gigolomax.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Daido can be considered one, justified as he was a Big Bad in the Double Movie. He's grown out of it, though not by much. He is closer to being considered a Big Bad as he is promoted to The Dragon by Harry.
- Break the Haughty: Daido thinks that the powers of his Gaia Memories make him a god. He loses some of that arrogance after getting his butt kicked by Jack Spicer in front of the other Overlords.
- Contemplate Our Navels: He tells Alastor of how "Things have come to freely pass" only to state that he had no idea what that meant.
- A God Am I: Has this complex when it comes to Gaia Memories.
- Mook Maker: Sometime during the Wesnoth challenge, Daido experimented with his blood to see if he could recreate Necro-Overs, and instead agreed to Pete's offer to use it on a Heartless Shadow, creating a different kind of Heartless. He considered doing more of this soon, had it not been for Maleficent disappearing.
- Motive Decay: Daido forgot his Roaring Rampage of Revenge towards Foundation X and the Museum and simply wants to make an army of Necro-Overs. Enforced, as the movie explaining his motive for his actions wasn't made, let alone released on DVD.
- O.C. Stand-in: He only appeared in two movies, but at the time the RPG started, only one was released on DVD and the one explaining his motives and character was in the other DVD. When it came out, it would come into conflict with the character he developed in TOTG.
- The Undead: In his backstory, Daido was killed and brought back to life using strange science, leaving him as an intelligent Artificial Zombie of sorts. He can be stabbed and cut, but he doesn’t bleed and such wounds won’t kill him.
Green Goblin
Green Goblin pilots a high-tech Goblin Glider, armed with seeking missiles and machine guns. He also wears green armor that cybernetically connects him to his glider and weapons. He is seen using three varieties of his signature "pumpkin bombs": one which is a simple explosive; one that releases a bright, radioactive flash which reduces people to skeletons; and one that splits into flying, razor-bat blades. His suit is armed with knockout gas that is released from the wrists. His suit is also linked to the Goblin Glider, allowing him to control it remotely.
- Abusive Parents: He's a terrible father to his son Harry, constantly belittling him, ignoring his suffering, and mocking him for needing others to fight his battles. This constant abuse eventually drives Harry to kill Norman in cold blood.
- Evil Genius: Since he's the guy responsible for his weapons and glider.
- Professor Guinea Pig: Origin of Green Goblin in the Sam Raimi movies.
- Throw Down the Bomblet: Like most versions of the Green Goblin, thrown pumpkin bombs are his weapon of choice.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Thanks to Norman subjecting himself with the prototype supersoldier formula.
Shocker Rider
The Shocker Rider is an alternative Rider created by SHOCKER, based on the template of Kamen Rider 2 aka Hayato Ichimonji's cyborg surgery prior to his defection. They were mass produced as SHOCKER troops and are enhanced in terms of abilities and powers under nanotechnology with the intention of eventually replacing the SHOCKER combatmen in frontline service. With this, it gives him superhuman strength as the nanomachines enable him to be stronger than a regular person while allowing him to be operational without the need of having to undergo blood transfusions in order to live another day.
In the course of his presence and interaction with the other Overlords after he came to the lair, the Shocker Rider had taken the name "Hopper". The name was first used by Hongo as his codename when he was brainwashed to serve SHOCKER as their cyborg agent before he fully regained his real memories. Thanks to his brainwashed status after being taken in by SHOCKER, he does not remember who he is or what his real name was at all.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: No free will aside from following SHOCKER's orders/instructions.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Ordered to execute among all SHOCKER traitors Hongo Takeshi by assassinating him.
- Nanomachines: Basis of his superhuman strength.
- Natural Weapon: They use their fists and feet as weapons when fighting, backed by superhuman strength.
- O.C. Stand-in: In terms of his origin prior to becoming a Shocker Rider.
- One-Man Army: Quite possible as the Shocker Riders are better than the SHOCKER combatmen with the help of the nanomachines in their bodies.
- Super-Soldier: Planned to be the main frontman in SHOCKER service, removing the combatmen due to their nanomachine surgery. That is if the Rider Trio didn't kill them all.
Israphel
The Big Bad of Shadow of Israphel.
- The Dragon: He has two: Creeper_Boss and Zombie_Boss.
- Elite Mooks: Jock_Fireblast, a pirate, Reverend_John, an undead priest/Israphel's father, Skylord_Vitali, a vampire, and Evil Cultist Sheep.
- Evil Only Has to Win Once: If he wins, he will take over Minecraftia, and spread his evil throughout the world.
- Evil Overlord: What he will apparently become if the duo fails, resulting in the Bad Future seen in their vision. And he is certainly an evil Overlord as well.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His red eyes are quite noticeable.
- Sdrawkcab Alias: In the temple that Xephos and Honeydew take shelter in, a sign in front of an obsidian barrier says not to open, or else a beast of sorts named Lehparsi will be unleashed. They don't realize it's backwards for Israphel.
- The Voiceless: He never speaks in any episode of the story arc.
Shang Tsung
When Shang Tsung cheated in a fight and stole his opponent's soul, the Elder Gods cursed him to rapidly age and die unless he consumed the souls of others. This backfired, as he grew more powerful with every soul he took, and his knowledge grew with it. He became the Grand Champion of Mortal Kombat, but his title was taken by the Great Kung Lao. Soon after, he corrupted the tournament with the aid of his greatest student, Goro. They were one victory away from opening the portal between Outworld and Earthrealm when the monk Liu Kang defeated both Goro and Tsung.
As mentioned above, Shang Tsung was cursed by mysterious entities identified only as his gods. The curse forcibly decreases his lifespan, unless he takes the souls of others to replenish himself, and thus, has become one of Shang Tsung's primary objectives to find an infinite source of souls which for him to thrive on. Should Tsung go on without souls, his body will rapidly age and wither and eventually die. As a sorcerer, Shang Tsung wields incredible black magic, most of it provided by Shao Kahn.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In Mortal Kombat canon, Shang Tsung is an ambitious and power-hungry Evil Sorcerer who cares for nobody but himself. This Shang Tsung, by contrast, seems genuinely invested in his fellow Overlords’ mental and emotional wellbeing, to the point that he acts as a Warrior Therapist on several occasions.
- Character Catch Phrase: Aside from "Your Soul Is Mine!," he's fond of saying "Excellent."
- Energy Absorption: Tsung can do this to restore health.
- Old Master: Way old, but he can still fight.
- Really 700 Years Old: He is actually over a millenium old.
- Talking to Themself: He tells himself to Finish Him! sometimes. This is probably a result of being the announcer in Mortal Kombat.
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: He has some with Azula. However, he's fully aware of the age difference and tries to stop himself as a result.
Flandre Scarlet
The "dirty little secret" of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Flandre is the little sister of Remilia Scarlet, both of whom appear to be ten. In reality Flandre is a 495 year old vampire with power over destruction. She was put in the basement of the mansion to hide her away and ensure that her powers do not go out of control. She sneaks out once in a while, but generally she listens to her big sister and stays in her room.
Then the Scarlet Mist Incident occurred. She got to watch her sister fight with a shrine maiden and a witch, but she mistook it for playing. After everything was resolved she broke out in order to play just like her big sister did. The shrine maiden and witch managed to calm down the little vampire, but not easily. From then on, ghost stories started to spread about the little sister of the Scarlet Devil, but Flandre remained in her room. That is, until the Nomads saw fit to play with her.
- Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Her power of destruction combined with her natural super human strength leads to this a lot.
- Doppelgänger Attack: One of her spell cards lets her create three clones of herself, which can fire off their own danmaku.
- Immortal Immaturity: 495 years old, acts like a 10 year old.
- Our Vampires Are Different: You won't find many other vampires with "wings" made of dangling crystals or the ability to shoot energy blasts.
- Really 700 Years Old: She may look and act like a child, but she's pushing 500.
- Winged Humanoid: If you can even call those things wings.
Nicol Bolas
A Planeswalker of great age and power, Nicol Bolas was snatched up from his multiverse by the Nomads to compete in the Game of Gods for their amusement. Even with significant restrictions placed upon his abilities, Bolas was easily among the most powerful of the Overlords; limited though they were, the mystic abilities of a Planeswalker are nothing to sneeze at, and even without his formidable magical powers Bolas is still a massive dragon.- The Archmage: He's an extremely powerful mage by the standards of his own setting, and in this game he outclasses all the other magic-using Overlords by a wide margin.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: By far the largest of the Overlords, beating out even Megatron in terms of size and bulk.
- Genius Bruiser: Perhaps the most physically powerful of the Overlords, rivaled only by Zod and Megatron in terms of strength, and also one of the most cunning and intelligent.
- Manipulative Bastard: Plays Rey like a fiddle during the crossover challenge between A Game Of Gods and Twilight Of The Gods.
- Only Sane Man: Makes a point of not getting involved in the countless petty squabbles which frequently break out among the other Overlords.
- Story-Breaker Power: Bolas is the most powerful of the Overlords by a country mile, and even with arbitrary restrictions placed on him to limit what he can do, the only thing stopping him from breaking the entire game over his knee was his player's sense of restraint. He can cast any spell that has ever been printed on a Magic card, of which there were already thousands at the time: through them he has done such things as making himself temporarily invincible, stopping time, reading minds, altering other characters' memories and personalities to suit his own needs, summoning entire armies of powerful creatures to fight on his behalf, and much more. The GM of the Crossover challenge had to sideline Bolas with a fight against another planeswalker just to keep him from ending an important scene involving a Journey to the Center of the Mind before it could begin.
Visser Three
- Acid Attack: One of his morphs, the kaftid, is a creature which can spew torrents of incredibly powerful acid at foes.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: His Andalite host body lacks a mouth and feeds by absorbing nutrients through the soles of its hooves, a fact which weirds some of the other Overlords out. It also has two Extra Eyes on stalks, which can look independently in any direction.
- One-Winged Angel: He can morph himself into a variety of monstrous alien creatures, nearly all of which are much bigger, tougher, and nastier than his host body's natural size.
- Puppeteer Parasite: The mouthless, scythe-tailed centaur that the other Overlords see is just Visser Three's Andalite host body. His real body is a tiny sluglike creature that squats in the Andalite's brain.
- Telepathy: His host body communicates through "thought-speech", which he can broadcast to specific individuals or to everyone nearby. He doesn't have the power to read minds, however.
Xemnas
Xemnas is the Nobody of Xehanort and leader of Organization XIII. He commands the Sorcerer Nobodies.
Xemnas wields nothingness, and manifests this as blades of energy called Ethereal Blades. Xemnas is very agile, and attacks with swift acrobatic combos with his blades. He can also teleport, fly, and create energy barriers to shield himself. Besides using them as melee weapons, Xemnas can fire his Ethereal Blades as laser-like projectiles, and can either fire them directly from his hands or create them in mid-air. Xemnas also incorporates some sort of attack that drains his opponent's health with a sphere of dark energy, known as "Invitation to Nothingness".
- Deceptive Disciple: His betrayal of Ansem the Wise was what caused him and the rest of the apprentices to turn into Nobodies in the first place.
- Evil Sounds Deep: His voice, both in the Japanese and North American versions, is very deep, to the point where some think it simply doesn't match his Bishounen face.
- Large Ham: While still being The Stoic. It's Norio Wakamoto, so this status is pretty unavoidable.
- Leitmotif: 358/2 Days gives him one named "Xemnus".
- Power Floats: In Days, he feels walking is boring.
- The Stoic: Most of his lines are spoken in an unemotional drone.
- Wistful Amnesia: The only part of his human life he remembers is the time he spent in Radiant Garden, and he wants his memories back about as much as he wants to become a "higher existence".
Levistus
One of the archdevils who rule the Nine Hells of Baator. He was brought in as an apparent replacement for Doctor Doom and looked set to be a new power player, only to abruptly disappear without ever participating in a single challenge.
- Black Eyes of Evil: His eyes are jet black with no visible irises or pupils.
- Demon Lords and Archdevils: He's an archdevil and the ruler of Stygia, the fifth layer of the Nine Hells of Baator.
- Dispel Magic: He can cast Greater Dispel Magic, using it to remove an agonizing curse that Majora had placed on Harry Osborn.
- Evil Is Deathly Cold: He's a literal devil whose mere presence makes the temperature drop below zero in his vicinity.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: if it weren't for those eyes, you'd never know you were dealing with anything other than an ordinary man.
- An Ice Person: He has vast power over ice and cold, able to conjure up walls of ice, freeze enemies, summon frigid winds, and more.
- Mundane Utility: He once used his ice powers to create a seat for himself at the strategium table.
- Red Right Hand: He looks like a refined human aristocrat, but the illusion is spoiled by two things: his jet-black eyes, and his clawlike fingernails.
- Telepathy: He can speak telepathically to others, and can hold multiple telepathic conversations simultaneously.
Doctor Doom
Doom was part of the initial group of Overlords brought into the game. He stopped appearing shortly before the Battle For Wesnoth challenge, though his actual departure from the game would not be confirmed until much later when Levistus was brought in to replace him.
- Actually a Doombot: As the Trope Namer, this is a given. Doom conjured up a few dozen Doombots—android replicas of himself that are practically indistinguishable from the real thing—as soon as he figured out how the All-Lair's summoning properties work. He set these Doombots to the task of interacting with and keeping tabs on new arrivals in the All-Lair while he's off participating in challenges, and they did their job so well that nobody realized they were interacting with android replicas of Doom instead of Doom himself until the end of the third challenge.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Doom was able to swiftly deduce various characteristics of his fellow Overlords, the chamber where they stay between missions, and Centum himself through simple observation. It was also through such observation that he could discern the workings of a lightsaber and create one of his own.
- Badass Arm-Fold: This may as well be Doom's signature pose. You could almost make a drinking game out of the number of times that he's shown doing this over the course of the game.
- Disproportionate Retribution: In the first challenge, he threw a hapless page from the battlements of his castle for the heinous crime of calling him King Aella instead of DOOM. Also a case of Misplaced Retribution, as it was the Nomads who made him stand in for the historical King Aella in the challenge; the page had nothing to do with this.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Doom may be a tyrannical dictator and supervillain, but he despises the Nazi party and all who emulate them. This nearly brings him into conflict with SHOCKER Rider after he notices the Nazilike iconography on the latter's armor, though he ultimately decides not to bother once he realizes the Rider has no idea whether his organization has any ties to the Third Reich.
- Evil Sorcerer: Doom relies just as much on his considerable magical prowess as he does on his inventions and his armour's weapons systems. Among other things, he has been shown summoning demons to guard his door in the All-Lair, infusing an artefact with vast amounts of magical energy and reanimating a dead wyvern to serve as a zombie mount.
- Experienced Protagonist: This was hardly the first time Doom had been kidnapped by godlike entities and forced to perform for their amusement.
- Finger Firearms: From photon array emitters to flamethrowers, Doom has a lot of fancy weapons built into his gauntlets' fingertips.
- Hand Blast: Doom is fond of shooting concussive force blasts from his gauntlets.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: Even without Powered Armor to enhance his strength, Doom is immensely strong and can hold his own in a brawl. During the first challenge he fells barbarians left and right with punches, kicks, and various spells.
- Large Ham: TREMBLE WITH FEAR BEFORE DOOM'S TITANIC MONOLOGUES!!
- Laser Blade: He managed to create a functional if crude lightsaber after studying the effects of Darth Maul's signature weapon on one of his robots.
- Magitek: His reverse-engineered lightsaber (a.k.a., the Doomsaber) is a fusion of magic and technology, with its blade being able to harm foes spiritually as well as physically.
- Mecha-Mooks: Many of his minions were robots or machines of some description, including his signature Doombots.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He calls himself Doctor Doom. A cheerful and friendly fellow, he is not.
- Nerves of Steel: Very little fazes Doom. He treats vicious monsters that want to eat him as annoyances to be dealt with, curiosities to be puzzled out, or both.
- Powered Armor: Doom's suit of armor may look like something out of a Renaissance Fair, but it's actually a highly advanced piece of technology crammed with sensors and weapons systems.
- Summon Magic: Doom frequently used black magic to summon demons for various purposes, such as guarding his door in the All-Lair or spying on suspicious reinforcements during the first challenge. He also used this magic to summon Gilgamesh out of the astral plane and force the Heroic Spirit to take corporeal form.
- Third-Person Person: Downplayed. Doom is as likely to refer to himself as Doom (emphasis optional) as he is to use personal pronouns.
- Tin Tyrant: Doom is a major league supervillain and ruthless dictator who wears a suit of deceptively primitive-looking Powered Armor at every waking moment.
- Wardrobe Wound: During the first challenge, a wyvern damages Doom's cape while trying to eat him. Doom takes offense to this, and after killing the beast his first order of business is to summon a tailor to have it replaced.
Doctor Horrible
Dr. Horrible has many inventions to help enact his plans, including a Transmatter Ray, a Horrible Van Remote, Freeze Ray, and Stun Ray that is later upgraded into a Death Ray. His costume consists of a off-white (eggshell) lab coat, khaki pants, white boots, light grey gloves, and silver welding goggles. When Dr. Horrible eventually joins the Evil League of Evil, he changes to a red lab coat and black gloves and pants.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Ironic indeed, considering he's easily the least villainous one on the team.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He, a normal human with no superpowers, managed to disarm and then kill Gilgamesh, a ridiculously powerful Heroic Spirit.
- Gadgeteer Genius: It's literally the only thing he has going for him. No minions, no superpowers, just the ability to build things. Zod has caught up on this well.
- The Music Meister: Sings constantly in his source material, and starts singing when he appears in the All-Lair.
- Noble Demon: Doesn't want people people killed, especially Penny.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Personally against murder, which he sees as beneath him—or at least, would like to.
Sarah Kerrigan
Sarah Kerrigan, once a trained Ghost assassin working for the Dominion. She was recruited by a man named Arturus Mengsk in his plan to overthrow the Dominion and "liberate" the sector. It all went downhill when Mengsk used devices call Psi Emitters to call a ravenous race of aliens call the Zerg down to the Dominion capital planet of Tarsonis. Even though she questioned it, Sarah trusted Mengsk and went along with his plans to set up the Emitters. Once they were in place the Zerg started to arrive and Mengsk started to pull his forces off planet, except for Sarah. He abandoned her on the planet as revenge for a mission she carried out for the Dominion years ago. Kerrigan fought as bravely as she could, but the Zerg numbers were far too great and she fell.
Kerrigan did not die that day though. The Overmind noticed her incredibly powerful psychic powers and formulated a plan for her. Instead of being killed she was infested and changed into one of the Zerg, becoming the Queen of Blades. Her transformation left her angry and blood-thirsty, especially against Mengsk's new Dominion.
Kerrigan was among the initial group of Overlords recruited into the game, though she was replaced with Kuja following the third challenge.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: Her claws and her wing-like appendages on her back.
- Fallen Hero: Used to be a Ghost assassin until she was abandoned.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: She is the "Queen of Blades".
- Psychic Powers: So strong that they had to actually re-evaluate the scale they had when she came along. That was when she was human.
- Winged Humanoid: She cannot actually fly with them, she just uses them to stab things because they have a greater reach then her hands.
Sylvanas Windrunner
Once the Ranger-General of Silvermoon, Sylvanas Windrunner was murdered by the death knight, Arthas, and brought back as a creature of undeath. After regaining her free will, she rebelled against the Lich King and the Scourge and became the founder of the Forsaken faction of undead, who are allied with the Horde. She has styled herself the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken, an expansion of her original title, "the Banshee Queen".
As leader of the Forsaken and the Horde on the Eastern Kingdoms, Sylvanas is a military genius. Under her leadership, the Forsaken have managed to not only fend off the Scourge, but also the Scarlet Crusade. She has a certain mastery of leadership, military strategy, and the bow. She is also adept at demon magic— having the ability to drain life, create skeletons, and use mind control. Sylvanas is the best archer on Azeroth— she claimed she could hit a flying bird in the eye. She wields Sunstrider's Longbow— once owned by Dath'Remar Sunstrider, it was passed on to Sylvanas when she became Ranger-General.
- Affably Evil: One of the more reasonable villains, if her peacefully ended stand-off with Doctor Horrible is anything to go by.
- The Undead: Wouldn't know without her say-so, though.
Gendo Ikari
Ex-Director of the anti-Angel paramilitary agency Nerv. He is under the influence of a group called SEELE, which wants to use the Evangelions to initiate the Third Impact. However, he has his other reasons for agreeing to help them.
He was taken out of the Viking Challenge by a Nomad named Upsilon and replaced with Gilgamesh from the Final Fantasy series.
- Badass Normal: No powers, no true minions, and yet he faces the impossible beings of the All-Lair with same calm that he does with every situation.
Jack Spicer
A teenaged scientist who seeks to conquer the world by collecting mystical talismans called the Shen Gong Wu. He was brought into the game as part of the initial group of Overlords, only to be sent home midsentence not long after the Crossover challenge with A Game of Gods. He was replaced by Doviculus.- Sissy Villain: First time he peeks out at the fight in the All-Lair? He shrieks. Centum makes his fiery entrance? He hides 'neath the table. Huge bone, hide, and sinew behemoth gets constructed not far from him? Hide gibbering in a tent.
Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
Robotnik aka Eggman is an obese scientist with an IQ of 300; he has a dream of dominating the world. Eggman's constant plots to create his Empire are endlessly thwarted by Sonic the Hedgehog, his arch-enemy, and Sonic's friends.
Eggman's most well known ability is his masterminded plots and schemes which only fail due to Sonic and his friends. He is a remarkable scientist and engineer, as evidenced by the armies of robots he's created. Eggman is an incredibly skilled pilot: able to swoop missiles and lasers in his Eggmobile with skill rivaling that of Tails. Eggman has also shown some considerable physical strength. Despite his physical structure, Eggman is also very athletic.
- Animal Mecha: He brought out his Egg Tarantula—a Spider Tank which looks like an actual spider—to battle the Servants that were running amok in the All-Lair.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Dr. Eggman acts like he's the evilest man in the room and frequently tries to assert dominance over the other Overlords, but he lacks the power and charisma to back up his ambitions. The other Overlords view him as an annoyance or a useful pawn at best.
- The Chew Toy: Nobody respects him, and everyone has managed to rough him up at least once.
- Cool Shades: His blue pince-nez glasses.
- The Starscream: He nominally works for Zod but frequently tries to assert leadership over the other Overlords whenever Zod isn't around.
Huron Blackheart
A Chaos Space Marine who once served the Imperium of Man as Chapter Master of the Astral Claws. His greed and ambition led him to revolt against his Imperial masters in a major rebellion. Though he was defeated and left for dead, he survived by striking a pact with the dread Gods of Chaos, and he and his Astral Claws became the Red Corsairs, an infamous band of reavers. His demonic pet, the Hamadrya, grants him psychic powers while it's in his vicinity.
- Bond Creatures: The Hamadrya isn't just an exotic pet. Its proximity lets him use Psychic Powers, something he can't otherwise do.
- Fantastic Racism: Like most humans in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, he despises all aliens, scornfully calling them "xenos".
- Fire-Breathing Weapon: The Tyrant's Claw has a flamer built into its palm, letting him spray flaming promethium all over his enemies.
- The Musketeer: Huron can use a Power Fist and a power weapon. Or you can change the fist with the Power Axe.
- Super-Soldier: He's an Astartes, meaning he's an eight-foot tall posthuman with strength, durability, and reflexes far beyond those of a normal man, all wrapped in a package of extremely durable Powered Armor.
Gilgamesh
The King of Heroes, Gilgamesh is one of the oldest and most powerful Servants in the Nasuverse. He thinks he owns the whole world and everything in it because the kingdom he ruled in his mortal life, Uruk, comprised the entirety of the "known world" at the time. The size of his monstrous ego is matched only by the vast arsenal of prototype legendary weapons that he keeps tucked away in his Gate of Babylon.
Gilgamesh was brought into the game by the Greek Nomad Alpha. He participated in two challenges before getting unceremoniously killed off.
- Anti-Magic: Although he lacks the innate magic resistance of the Saber and Rider classes, Gilgamesh possesses so many anti-magic wards, charms, and amulets that he's nigh immune to it anyway.
- Berserk Button: The fact that the Final Fantasy Gilgamesh shares his name pisses him off something fierce, since he takes the other Gilgamesh's buffoonery and lack of kingship as an insult to himself.
- Cool Airship: One of the treasures stored in his Gate of Babylon is Vimana, a heavily armed golden aircraft from Hindu myth that resembles a flying boat. He brings it out to make a last stand against the other Overlords after he pissed them all off (and after Dr. Horrible had disabled Ea).
- Fatal Flaw: Gilgamesh's pride keeps him from ever going completely all-out against anyone, because he is so secure in his superiority. It always comes back to bite him in the ass. However, as he remembers dying due to Archer nailing him in the head with a sword, his ego has taken a beating, which has actually made him less likely to hold back now that his ego is not in the way as much.
- Hidden Depths: He's a lot smarter than he appears, and understands a surprising amount about magic and human nature. The parts where he reveals his intellect are overshadowed by the parts where he's being a jerk.
- Hyperspace Arsenal: His Noble Phantasm, Gates of Babylon, is an extra-dimensional storage space.
- Literally Shattered Lives: How he met his end. He froze solid upon being hit by Dr. Horrible's freeze ray and fell dozens of feet to the ground, shattering on impact.
- Our Spirits Are Different: Gilgamesh is a Heroic Spirit, meaning that—amongst many other things—he can assume an invisible and intangible "astralized" form. He assumes such a form to avoid being punished by the other Overlords for causing them all to fail the Dog Soldiers challenge, only to be forced back into corporeal form by Doctor Doom's Summon Magic.
- Semi-Divine: He's the son of a mortal king and the goddess Ninsun, a fact he brings up more than once.
- Storm of Blades: His modus operandi. He doesn't bother to wield any of the legendary weapons he pulls out of the Gate of Babylon, instead launching them at his enemies like volleys of missiles.
- Superpower Lottery: The fact that he's the King of Heroes and has access to almost every other Noble Phantasms, in addition to his demigod origins, makes him a prime case of this.
Black Mage Evilwizardington
A master of Black Magic, he is a usurper for the title Warrior of Light. He generally goes around on crazy adventures and causing mass destruction on depending on his mood.
He was abruptly replaced with Percer and sent back to his homeworld during the lull between the third and fourth challenges.
- Abhorrent Admirer: He tries to seduce Azula with some very blunt and crass come-ons. She makes her displeasure clear by setting him on fire.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He makes no attempt to present himself as anything other than evil, makes absolutely no excuse for mass-murder and destruction, and he's damn well proud of it. Black Mage can very easily see the moral dilemma of a problem, and he may even argue about the validity of it- of course, he only identifies it so he can go in the completely opposite direction.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Can take a surprising amount of abuse.
- Made of Evil: Closest thing to personified evil in his world. If he ever dies, then he'll become a Lord of Hell again.
- Person of Mass Destruction: He's the equivalent of a nuke in human form.
- Power Copying: Can copy abilities as long as he takes it and survives it.
- Psycho Knife Nut: Has many knives hidden on his person, and he's a demented, Ax-Crazy, Card-Carrying Villain. Also has the vaunted Healing Shiv.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: He's a nexus for the ley lines in reality and has the lowest sanity tolerance ever. Having an insane Ax-Crazy maniac running around with the forces of creation at his finger tips was probably not the best idea ever.
Fawful
Fawful (known as Lord Fawful by his minions) is an eccentric Beanish character who is a recurring antagonist in the Mario & Luigi series. He is notable for speaking in grammatically incorrect English and making obscure food metaphors. Fawful is a mechanical genius, but his common sense suffers due to his extreme fury which often causes him to act in a delusional manner.
Though he is a bit of a loon, Fawful is an extremely intelligent genius, shown by how complex his Vacuum Helmet is. He uses the rocket-jets on his Vacuum Helmet to get around places. There is also a vacuum peripheral on the helmet, which can be used to shoot energy balls and was also used to suck in Cackletta's spirit to transfer to Bowser and create Bowletta.
- Bamboo Technology: In the first challenge he built a working airship out of the primitive materials available to 11th-century Vikings.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Even if his inventions can be a little zany, he's got the attention of Megatron.
- Magitek: Fawful is mainly a science guy, but he knows enough about magic to incorporate it into his inventions when necessary.
- Malevolent Mugshot: Exaggerated - nearly all of his machines are built in his own image.
- Team Killer: He goes out of his way to kill Dr. Eggman during the Dog Soldiers challenge, even though the Overlords are supposed to be working together in this one. And note that Fawful wasn't aware that Overlords who die in the challenges just respawn at the All-Lair, meaning he was trying to kill Eggman for real.
Air Man
Air Man is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily specially for combat. He can generate powerful winds with the propeller in his torso to pull or push enemies, and can attack with small tornadoes and his Air Shooter. The small blue tornados, coupled with the fierce wind Air Man produces, can prove difficult to dodge. The master of the skies, Air Man is truly a master of his element.
Like most of the robots created by Dr. Wily, Air Man has a weakness to leaves as it clogs up his propeller with leaves.
- Blow You Away: With his tornadoes and his Air Shooter arm.
- Flat Character: Air Man doesn't speak, barely interacts with the other Overlords, and does practically nothing that offers any insight into his thought processes. He's here to fight things and nothing else.
- The Voiceless: Can't talk since he's got no mouth.
Spades Slick
Spades Slick is the notorious leader of the Midnight Crew, summoned by Problem Sleuth to take on Demonhead Mobster Kingpin, but then changed their alliances to DMK's side due to a slight mishap with a set of some Hunk Rump cards. Spades is of a Problem Sleuth height, is physically capable, and wears a trench coat much like his Sleuthy counterpart. In the Problem Sleuth donation commands where he first appears, he is able to wield shadow-based magic using cards to project his powers, but often prefers to fight with weapons instead.
He has incredible skill with bladed weapons, once beheading three opponents with a single swing of his RAPIER WIT. Spade also has the ability to "flip his sprite" and reverse damage to the sides of his body. (E.G. His right eye was stabbed out, but he could reverse it to his left at any given time.)
- Death Dealer: All the members of the Midnight Crew can turn their weapons or other belongings into playing cards.
Captain James Hook
Captain James Hook is the main antagonist of Peter Pan and its sequel Return to Neverland. The captain of a crew of pirates, Captain Hook has long since abandoned sailing the high seas in favor of having revenge on Peter Pan for ruining his life (Peter having cut off Hook's left hand and fed it to the Crocodile, considering it a playful prank).
Captain Hook acts as a menacing and cowardly villain. Due to this, he is made a fool of quite often. Despite this, he's still a very feared character since he is capable of doing murderous deeds. Aside from the use of his hook as a weapon, Hook is an expert in using the rapier and the blunderbuss pistol. He is also intelligent and is even able to trick his nemesis, Peter Pan, into believing he has surrendered.
- Alternate Self: He is explicitly not the Hook that Maleficient is acquainted with, a fact which causes some confusion when the two of them meet.
- Paranoia Fuel: In-Universe, anything that makes a loud ticking sound will frighten Hook out of his wits.
- Revenge: This to Peter Pan for his Hook Hand status.
Maleficent
A sorceress of awesome power, Maleficent was content with simple dreams of ruling the world of Enchanted Dominion until the sinister old Keyblade Master, Xehanort, opened her eyes to the existence of other worlds and of seven maidens whose hearts were utterly without darkness; when brought together, these seven hearts of pure light would open a door to Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds. To accomplish this goal, Maleficent traveled the universe by means of her dark sorcery, gathering a coterie of like-minded Disney villains under her leadership, and together her group spent the next nine years laying waste to the worlds in their search for the seven Princesses of Heart and Kingdom Hearts. Fortunately, the Disney villains were thwarted just short of attaining their goal; one by one, Maleficent's allies fell to the power of Sora, and when Maleficent herself took the boy on, she proved no match for him and was slain.
Maleficent returned to life a year later, though her power had been reduced to a pale shadow of its former glory. Maleficent looked for new ways to return to power, though she was ultimately unsuccessful; after her latest scheme was thwarted, she found herself transported to the All-Lair against her will. Now the dark sorceress seeks to turn this predicament to her advantage.
She carries a staff with a glowing green orb at the tip through which she casts her spells, which include an ability to teleport herself, or send bolts of lightning at enemies. She is also capable of shape shifting at will into numerous forms, including a floating hypnotic light resembling a will-o'-the-wisp and a massive, monstrous black and purple dragon.
- Large Ham: Naturally, given that she is self-proclaimed Mistress of all Evil.
- Neutral Evil: In-Universe, Maleficent's dominating goal is to claim the power of Kingdom Hearts for herself and no other; woe betide anyone who gets in her way, including her erstwhile 'allies'.
Fate Averruncus
Arch enemy of Negi Springfield. The Dragon to a ham-tastic fellow named Dynamis, though Fate is actually stronger and gets nearly all of the work that needs to be done done. Prefers to finish his fights quickly and with minimal effort, usually by either crushing/impaling his foes with hunks of stone, or turning said opponents to stone. A skilled close-combat mage. Snatched away by the Nomads while awaiting Negi & co's ships to reach the Gravekeeper's Palace in the wake of the attack on the New Ostia Ball.
After an ugly fight leads to the Nomad Unus "banishing" The Lifemaker, and the Nomads remove them from the Games deciding the group to be too much trouble.
- Artificial Human: In both mind/soul and body. He was created by the Lifemaker, and he is currently on his third body, his mind & soul switching to a new body every time the previous one is killed.
- Dissonant Serenity: Nearly always maintains an eerie calmness.
- The Dragon: Previously, to the now-dead Lifemaker. Now, he is the Dragon-in-Chief to Dynamis. Furthermore, during his time as an Overlord he seems to have willingly become a Dragon for Maleficent.
- Flechette Storm: He can summon spikes, spears, and blades of stone and metal.
- The Ghost: A strange retroactive example. Fate's player was banned from the forums due to disruptive behavior, and every post written by said player was deleted from the game thread. The only evidence that Fate and his Ministrae were ever present is in the many posts of the other Overlords reacting to them.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: Rarely, if ever, enters a fight at full strength, preferring to hold back until it becomes necessary to step up his game.
- Meaningful Name: Averruncus was the Roman god of disaster aversion... who was known for causing just as much disaster as he prevented. Also, during Wesnoth he explained how he chose the given name "Fate" for himself because that is what he feels he represents: predetermination, his world's inescapable fate.
- Pet the Dog: Genuinely cares for his Ministrae, who are perhaps the only people he freely shows kindness and concern for.
- Taken for Granite: Several of his most powerful spells involve petrifying his target(s); one spell does so permanently/irreversibly.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Seeks to "save" the natives of his doomed homeworld Mundus Magicus by erasing them from existence and "re-writing" them into a disturbingly-afterlife-like pocket realm.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Both what he believes, and what many of his foes warn others about him.
Dalek Sec
Dalek Sec was the leader of the cult and of the Dalek attack during the Battle of Canary Wharf against the Cybermen. He showed his leadership by communicating to the enemy, namely, Rose Tyler, Cybermen and The Doctor, and commanding the other three Daleks.
He had served in the Dalek forces in fighting against the Mechanoids before the Dalek Sec later fought in the Last Great Time War. Prior to that, he met with the Dalek Emperor and was placed in charge of the cult. Later on, he and the rest of the Cult of Skaro were displaced in 1930s New York when they initiated a temporal shift after an encounter with the 10th Doctor. During this time, the Dalek Sec began experiments while using humans in order to revive the entire Dalek race before he began an experiment himself to blend Daleks with humans.
Like his fellow Daleks, the Dalek Sec is integrated within a tank-like or robot-like mechanical casing.
- Butt-Monkey: Brain sliced open being the current worst. Also, becoming a human female.
Pete
Maleficent's right-hand cat, Pete is an overweight blowhard whose only redeeming feature—in his boss's eyes, at least—is his surprising talent for commanding Heartless.- Afraid of Blood: Since people rarely if ever bleed in the universe of Kingdom Hearts, Pete isn't used to seeing large amounts of blood. The sight of a battered and bloody Black Mage makes him go pale until something else distracts him from the sight.
- Afraid of Clowns: He apparently has a crippling fear of clowns. When Fawful transforms the All-Lair into a carnival, Pete has a panic attack and starts punching every clownlike thing he sees while trying to flee back to his room. He also freaks out upon meeting Zorn and Thorn, Kuja's weird jester minions.
- Dumb Muscle: Pete's a big fella and surprisingly tough, but he's none too bright.
- Evil Is Petty: He takes advantage of the Nomads immobilizing Galbatorix to do all kinds of humiliating things to him: Face Doodling, gluing a fake mustache to him, covering his feet in dung, putting up signs on either side of him calling him unflattering things, and encouraging the other Overlords to pelt him with tomatoes.
- Fashion-Victim Villain: In-universe, the other Overlords don't think too highly of Pete's giant crotch zipper.
- Hidden Depths: Will he does stumble over his words a bit, he does manage to give a surprisingly good explanation of how the Heartless are created and the metaphysics of his own universe.
Zapper Zaku
The first squad leader of the Dark Axis invasion force. Zapper Zaku used to be an honest person. He fought fairly, cared about his friends, and believed that people become stronger by keeping promises. That was before Zapper Zaku became a squad leader. When Zapper Zaku was promoted, his personality became twisted. Now he prefers to shoot first then ask questions later, he never hesitates to threaten his subordinates, and fights dirty. Whenever Zapper Zaku leads an attack, he never has any sort of plan and just comes up with ideas on the fly.
- Combination Attack: Combined with Grappler Gouf and Destroyer Dom, the three of them can fire the Final Deadly Screaming Chaos Catastrophe attack
Reptile
Reptile is the last of the Saurians, a race of reptilian humanoids who populated Earthrealm until the fall of Shinnok. They fled to Zaterra, a jungle realm, where they prospered until Shao Kahn took over the realm. He has faithfully guarded Shang Tsung for centuries, but his time away from his fellow Saurians is taking its toll. Slowly, but surely, the beast within him is poisoning his mind and he is devolving from a humanoid barely distinguishable from a man into a lizard who walks upright.- Invisibility: He can turn invisible and back at will.
The Ministrae
A quartet of superpowered teenage girls who serve Fate Averruncus. Like their master, they were collectively given the boot.- Amazon Brigade: They're all women, and all capable of kicking ass.
- The Ghost: An odd, retroactive example. Every post written by the Ministrae's player was nuked from the thread, and the only evidence these characters were ever present is the many posts in which the other Overlords react to them and the things they did.
Shirabe
The leader of the Ministrae, a quiet and stoic dryad. She is the only survivor of when her clan was massacred by cruel hunters seeking to hack the horns off of them all to sell as medicinal ingredients. Fate saved her right before the hunters could kill her, and she is thus extremely loyal to him.
- Affably Evil: She compliments her enemies when they survive her artifact's abilities, and is all-around the most well-mannered of the girls (barring Shiori, who is not taking part in this whole affair).
- Determinator: Has the most raw willpower and determination out of all Fate's girls; possibly even more than Fate himself.
- Elegant Classical Musician: Her Pactio Artifact is a magical violin, with which she can play beautiful music... or unleash devastating sonic attacks capable of pulverizing stone.
- Green Thumb: Being a dryad, she can summon and control plant life.
- Instrument of Murder: Her enchanted violin can unleash stone-crushing, bone-pulverizing high-pitch sonic waves.
Homura
A salamandra, and Shirabe's second-in-command. Hotheaded and short-tempered, with powers to match.
- The Brute: Definitely the most straightforward in terms of combat tactics among the girls.
- Clothing Damage: At her full power, her clothes are incinerated
- Cute Monster Girl: Looks human, but is actually a salamandra.
- Magical Eye: Lets her summon fire, including a yet-to-be-seen attack that can be described as "Amaterasu with blue not-hellfire flames."
- Personality Powers: She's by far the most rash and excitable of Fate's minions; fitting for someone who deals in fire magic.
Koyomi
An excitable Cat Girl who is nearly always partnered with Tamaki.
- Time Master: Her Artifact's ability; she can alter the flow of time for herself and/or others.
Tamaki
An outwardly-stoic dragonfolk girl. Nearly always seen - both in & out of combat - with Koyomi. Her Artifact allows her to manipulate space, complimenting Koyomi's manipulation of time.
- Going Commando: Her tail makes it impossible for her to wear panties.
- Horned Humanoid: Subverted, at least for this incarnation of her; only male dragonfolk have actual horns, while female dragonfolk warriors, like Tamaki, make due with headpieces. The tail's real, though.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Besides being a "dragonfolk", Tamaki can transform into a traditional dragon if things get serious.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Here sweet is reserved for Koyomi, and occasionally Fate and Shirabe.
