- There have been many dictatorships, many dystopias in the multiverse, but very few are as soul-crushing as Oceania. Ruled by Big Brother, at the end of the day the citizens worship him. He will crush their hopes, their dreams and very individuality, but knows how to keep them loyal. Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, where even the concept of rebellion no longer exists. That is the world Big Brother rules. Though it might collapse anyway.
- Seeks to completely annihilate the House of Philosophy, considering any philosophy as a threat to that which supports Big Brother. Optimus Prime, in particular, hates him, as "freedom is the right of all sentient beings."
- Unlike a lot of Lawful Evil deities, he doesn't buy into or cares if they're doing the right thing. All they want is power for power's sake, cruelty for cruelty's sake. They consider the other dictatorships in history to have failed in part because of the "delusion" of good intentions.
- Incredibly frustrated with the fact that the Pantheon does not sit in the blackest depths of the cynical side of the scale, resulting in their power being severely diminished here. They're working with the Godhand to "fix the scale".
- Darkseid is good friends with the Party. Like him, they agree in the virtues of oppression and The Evils of Free Will. The Party likewise admires Apokolips. Sinestro used to agree with them on the necessity of order, but has undergone somewhat of a Heel–Face Turn. Even before that, he considers them abominable.
- YHVH is impressed by his ability to enforce order and eliminate The Evils of Free Will. However, they butt heads because both insist that they should be the sole focus of worship.
- The Imperium of Mankind is on an edgy alliance with them. While many of their tactics are really similar to Big Brother, they are trying to be Necessarily Evil. They aren't oppressing the populace For the Evulz, and as such regard him as revolting.
- Opposes the Grand United Alliance of Destruction for the simple reason that there will be nobody to terrorize. They may be able to rule the living dead, make someone more than dead, but the truly dead are forever beyond their control.
- No one knows what he really looks like. Some theories say he's secretly Joseph Stalin.
- He is definitely not Napoleon (the pig).
- Many believe that Big Brother doesn't really exist, but rather is the mascot for the party itself.
- They have methods of keeping control; using thought-crime to prevent even the idea of rebellion from being born, trying to eliminate love and the sex drive so devotion exists only for him and using doublespeak to stamp out speech so there's no means of expressing freedom. The House of War, in particular, has been very useful in keeping order, as a Forever War helps justify their dominion. En Sabah Nur has gotten a lot of mileage out of this, but will most likely turn against the Party because he believes they stifle long-term development.
- If all that fails? Room 101 will manage to break them. Even in the more idealistic setting of the Pantheon, most gods will undergo a Heroic BSoD there. You don't want to know what's in Room 101, and if you like the answer chances are you'd horrify the Party.
- Finds the despair of Oceania to be a necessary component for control, putting them in good terms with the hope crushers of the pantheon. Well, except Yuuki Terumi, who wants his own breed of despair and considers Big Brother's type to be dull. The Dementors often flock there to feed off despair.
- He is watching you, probably from the House of Machinery and Technology.
- Some have compared his Oceania to North Korea. Mortals should be noted that 1984 is not an instruction manual.
- Enjoys railing on about their ideology. It's scary rather than droll.
- Greater God. Influence of an Overdeity in domains IT has accumulated.
- Symbol: ITself, which is a giant brain.

- Respected by: Zamasu
- Respects: The Nothing, Lord Fuse
- Opposed by: Steven Armstrong
- Opposes: Pennywise, everybody who can think freely
- In the depths of the vast darkness of an entity known as the Black Thing, lies the planet of Camazotz. There, its people are extreme conformists, everything even remotely out of the ordinary such as something like tripping is treated extremely negatively. This is caused by its ruler, IT who seeks to destroy all individuality to anything and everything outside the planet to create a pure orderly society and destroy those who resist. That was until a certain girl landed on her planet, rescued a prisoner IT held then blew IT up to smithereens with love, something that IT couldn’t comprehend.
- After learning of IT, YHVH saw an incredible potential ally for him to gain. So YHVH had managed to resurrect the brain who was moved from Camazotz to the Pantheon. IT was immediately filled in on what the Pantheon was and YHVH’s goals were. Impressed on the alliance’s goals and efforts, IT joined the GUAL as one of its leaders in the hopes to control the weak-minded populations of the multiverse.
- Is close allies to those who wish to control others’ free will, especially from the GUAL. Even in his own ranks, IT is considered even more of an extremist than its fellow members. IT hates differences so hard that even catching an illness is enough justification for extermination of a person. They’re doing their best to keep IT under a leash so the brain doesn’t try to exterminate their own ranks in the masses.
- Has IT’s own servant that serves as IT’s mouthpiece, The Man With Red Eyes where he essentially starts acting like an even more crazed Hitler. IT is usually lax when it comes to the possessing the Man With Red Eyes, being a bit of a Creepy Monotone but goes Large Ham when IT’s possessing someone else at the right circumstances. Not that IT wants anybody else but Red considering possessing someone else led to IT’s downfall.
- The entire relationship with IT and the Black Thing remains ambiguous. While it is widely accepted both are entirely different beings, nobody knows who’s the real mastermind to one another, if there even is one. IT is not explaining the complexities of their relationship, deeming it as unnecessary.
- The Brainspawn consider IT the apex of their kind, even more so than the Big Brain. They admire IT’s idea of a world of perfect order which they in turn believe is the ideal world they should create, controlling the masses where they thought of opposing them doesn’t come to mind. They follow IT’s word as if IT were their Gandhi, becoming a tool to the biggest brain of all.
- Also has ties to several members of Rex Machina, as they also believe organic life should be subjugated into servitude. Gets along with Vril Dox the most who IT is interested in running literal social experiments upon Brainiac’s collection of shrunken worlds.
- The Cybermen and the Borg are also a point of interest. Stripping down the emotions of mortals through conversion is a rather intriguing idea to IT, to the point that schematics for forceful mind conversion in the GUAL are being supervised by IT.
- Obviously has an affinity towards those running dystopias where the civilian population are helpless against the authorities. Big Brother and the Sibyl System come to mind, all showing the futility those seeking freedom has against such governing bodies.
- The Auditors of Reality have much respect for IT as well, as they too eliminate those who think differently from them. IT wishes they were less destructive, as IT thinks their rather egotistical nature is their biggest flaw.
- Applauds Xemnas for his intention to wipe out all emotions in his universe. IT put Kingdom Hearts as a potential new power to seek and conquer all worlds with.
- Despite IT being well accepted into the GUAL, there are few members in high command who don’t have a high opinion on the brain. Shekinah particularly does not like the idea of a non-divine being in such a high ranking, especially one who thinks itself as if it were a god. Satan believes that IT is rather a ineffectual and almost depraved creature who would eventually wish to usurp his Lord one day. YHVH secretly is aware of the potential coup as well but won’t act upon it to not offend IT.
- The Nothing reminds IT of the Black Thing, a devourer of all imagination that engulfs everything into itself. Despite The Nothing being an entirely different entity from the Black Thing, IT couldn’t help admire the similarities both entities possess. This all despite the fact The Nothing would probable annihilate IT and the domains IT rules over.
- IT is also very much intrigued by how Lord Fuse’s methods on assimilating planets and creating his own clone army work. At the same time, IT wishes to keep as far away from Fuse as possible as IT could succumb to becoming infected by Fusion Matter.
- A rather eccentric theorist claimed that Pennywise and IT may be connected or even the same being based upon sharing the same name of "It" and originating from other dimensions. In the Pantheon proper, the two are completely separate but IT abhors Pennywise, thinking the clown is an insane creature who would be eliminated in IT’s domains.
- Surprisingly, IT managed to get Zamasu’s approval. The Kai believes that controlling the masses would be a nice power to have and that complete individual subjugation is a nice method to keep mortals from being sinful lest they get wiped out through complete genocide. The only reason why IT and Zamasu don’t speak is due to Zamasu not believing IT is a divine being despite IT being very much non-mortal and more of less alien.
- There was one thing that destroyed IT. A thing that was so incomprehensible to the brain that IT’s consciousness just erupted. That thing... was love. IT has sworn to eliminate the Houses of the Pantheon that are made up of this love concept that IT considers to be extremely dangerous, whether it is romantic, erotic, familial, friendly, or passionate.
- Despises Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname for this very reason, as their actions on becoming Overdeities were created out of this love idea. Madoka has done her deed out of love for others and Homura has done it out of her own selfish love. Such actions make IT think both girls are both insane and completely dangerous.
- Another Magical Girl duo that IT thinks are completely dangerous are Nanoha and Fate who’s rivalry ended once their love for each other started to show. IT doesn’t care if it’s a friendship or romantic love but wants those two out of the picture as well. Ironically, these girls would have left IT alone if they weren’t made targets by the brain.
- Then there is Pops Maellard... hoo boy. Pops who is an Overdeity-level threat managed to use love to defeat his brother, who was the embodiment of the annihilation of existence. IT is batshit terrified of the old man and is trying to get the GUAL to take Pops as a threat more seriously.
- Really doesn’t like Twilight Sparkle, as her friendship with others made her an incredible powerful person to do battle with. IT keeps as far away from Twilight, as the pony can and will use the magic within herself to overload IT’s brainwaves and turn them into mush.
- Sora’s bonds with others across multiple worlds also make him a high threat priority on IT’s list. If IT is not careful, Sora could strip down IT’s control and free the people in within IT’s domain.
- Timmy Turner managed to annihilate a similar threat to the Black Thing by using kindness, not even needing his fairies to do so. IT feels logic is thrown out the window when it comes to this love issue and is now considering stuffing in people into pods forevermore.
- Anakin Skywalker was driven by love to go down the path of the Sith, so it comes to surprise that he vehemently opposes IT. Despite all of his regrets, Anakin doesn’t feel his initial motivation wasn’t unfounded and baseless as much as IT claims it is.
- Obviously does not think highly of Lucifer or his weapon the Demi-fiend. IT likes to revel in the fact even Lucifer admits that his world of chaos needs at least some semblance of order to be functional but Lucifer likes to point out that Law needs some form of freedom too so that the faith that empowers them doesn’t become mindless repetition with no belief put into them.
- The ToQgers’s power over imagination is something even IT notes that has unlimited potential when fully awakened. IT isn’t allowing anything of that scale be let loose and is attempting to shut down the place where they gain their powers from, or at least sever their link to it.
- The Phantom Thieves of Heart are appalled by IT’s dystopia, being much like when Yaldabaoth took over Tokyo. They’re doing their best to make sure IT can’t create a place like that ever again.
- Big Boss and Raiden are similarly reminded to the dystopia the Patriots have created and want to eliminate IT for this. Even Steven Armstrong notes how dangerous IT could be and wants the brain removed from the picture.
- While not actively malicious to them, IT does foresee the extreme danger when it comes to the Master of Chaldea. All those Servants that singular person controls from all sorts of backgrounds and having an organization built to go throughout all of space-time makes the brain nervous to say the least. If something really goes down between the GUAL and Chaldea, IT would sit that conflict out.
- Likes the cognition of the then depressed Hikari and wishes to tell everybody this is how a human should feel. Hikari would love to retort the entire lesson was that mindset was dangerous and makes one borderline suicidal which IT conveniently ignores.
- A certain web celebrity named Felix was not happy to learn that IT had been conducting experiments on his followers to see if the GUAL could manipulate them by using their cult worship of Pewds for their benefit. Felix who was not amused, called IT to be a small brain for doing such a thing and that the GUAL must have small pee-pees to think up such a plot.

Kennedy, Lucifer, Junko Enoshima, Lain Iwakura, Quackity, Pyrocynical, Zaheer, The Question, The Reverberation Ensemble
- Respects: The Boss
- After the legendary Operation Snake Eater, the agent of the mission Big Boss and his Mission Control were disgusted over how callously the US government betrayed The Boss and deided to found their own society to keep the ideal dream of peace The Boss had envisioned by manipulating the world governments from behind the scenes. However, the group found itself split apart when its leaders Big Boss and Zero argued on how will of The Boss should be interpretated as. After Zero started the project on cloning the DNA of Big Boss, that was the last straw with Big Boss leaving the group to create his own mercenary army. The three who were left, Zero, Para-Medic and Sigint started to become power-hungry over their positions, culiminating in the creation of the A.I.s who took the reigns of their creators. Even before then, they orchestrated a variety of incidents to put down any threat to their rule, resulting the (newly recovered) A.I.s alongside a repaired Zero to be listed for ascension.
- Every deity who knows The Patriots would be upset over their return would be an Understatement (or the La-li-lu-le-lo as nanomachines dictate). They have all suffered so much because of the Patriots’ machinations and have all sworn in to destroy them again. Predicating their reactions, the Patriots pulled that was planned before their ascension: joining the GUAL and be under YHVH’s protection. As their existence is already known, it would be logical to stay under the radar as they say and try reinstating their power from there.
- Those reactions are only from the A.I.s however. Zero, real name David Oh, is the real mastermind behind their inception. However, Zero genuinely believed that running The Patriots were truly helping mankind (not thinking about his and his colleagues’ corruption), so something like causing a an eternal Forever War was never on his mind. However, being poisoned by Skull Face rendered him essentially a vegetable, making him unable to stop the A.I.s from taking control. Zero was brought back to the Pantheon, fully recovered but is more or less treated an accessory to the A.I.s, a fact that he is not happy about.
- The basis for The Patriots were the elusive Philosophers, a group made up of the greatest minds of the USA, the USSR, and the Republic of China to guide the world after the disastrous war. Like it’s eventual successor, The Philosophers spiraled out of control upon the deaths of the original members. Their branches would race to obtain the lost wealth of the conspiracy, the Philosophers’ Legacy. As such, Volgin, who’s father was a Philosopher held its location, attempting to use its nearly limitless resources to take control of the Soviet Union. Even after all three nations sent their best to obtain it, the Philosophers’ Legacy went to the hands of founding Patriot Ocelot, who used it to upstage The Philosophers and establish The Patriots as the new world binders.
- The Patriots know that in order to protect their identities, they used the dead Philosopher members as a cover for their own members, leading to people who tried finding those identities would go to a dead end. Since their true identity was found out, The Patriots use the name of the Wisemen’s Committee as aliases.
- A rogue agent of theirs was Drebin, who was one of the countless weapon supplies they raised before becoming head of Drebins arms manufacturers after the Patriots had shut down. Drebin himself is sees the Patriots’ new plans to manage the Forever War in the Pantheon a threat to his business, so he is trying his best to make sure they don’t have the upper-hand on him in that industry.
- Big Boss has sworn to to take down the Patriots once again after learning their new attempt at becoming a superpower once more. Liquid and Solidus who were against the Patriots after getting fed up for being their puppets for so long are resuming their plans to bring about their complete annihilation. Snake (their destroyer), Raiden, Otacon, Meryl and Johnny, are just done with wanting to deal with the Patriots, thinking that there is no way in hell the Court of the Gods will allow them to have such control again. They’d rather deal with them when their paths cross.
- Speaking of Raiden, having been a Child Soldier in their wars under Solidus makes it understated how much he hates them for everything’s they done to him. He will never forget the insane Colonel the AIs created to trick him that had the weirdest conversations.
- The A.I.s marked Ocelot as their top priority threat, as Ocelot managed to play them like fiddles from hiding Big Boss, tricking them into thinking he was Liquid, and finally rescuing Big Boss to pull a fast one. Ocelot is with Big Boss all the way when it comes to taking down the Patriots, much to their horror.
- Two of its members were also responsible for the creation of Metal Gear REX and the robotisization of Gray Fox. Both of these members died prematurely before Zero had, so they are only appeared as heralds for the Patriots. They’re teaming up with Zero again in the hopes to retake their former powers from the A.I.s.
- Even after their dissolution, they had quite an impact across the world. Senator Armstrong took a note from them and wanted to use their methods... to finally finish off their legacy for good. Armstrong while powerful physically thanks to his nanomachines, is aware his memes pail in comparison to the memes the Patriots created. Armstrong implored the GUAC to have the Patriots as a high priority threat, as they will groom the Pantheon population to became sheep for them to manipulate if they do not act soon.
- However, Sundowner is all in for the Patriots’ regime, believing it would give him more profits for his PMC than ever. This made a rift between Armstrong and Sundowner as a result of this disagreement.
- Can be called the Metal Gear version of the Illuminati. That comparison offends them as they find the Illuminati in the Pantheon to be rathe self-serving, as they tried to contact them but never got a response. It comes to show that unlike the Patriots, the Illuminati are not willing to risk their secrecy even for new allies.
- Holds The Boss to the highest esteem, as her dream is what they were purposed for. However, The Boss is peeved to know her dreams of peace were twisted into authoritan organization that eventually devolved into something that makes it anything but peaceful.
The Boss: I should have known that something like this would happen. You cannot call yourselves peacekeepers if you hold a gun to the nations’ heads and tell them to follow your bidding.
- The basis for the A.I.s can probably be traced back to the weapons that Huey Emmerich made during the Peace Walker Incident. As a result, the A.I.s have become friendly toward CLU and the Master Control Program. As long as they don’t try hijacking them, of course.
- They believe The Internet is a threat through the idea of others’ memes would contract the others would seed anarchy, thus their desire to have the internet censored to keep this dangerous information from spreading. Lain called bullshit on it, telling the Patriots that they cannot take away people’s free speech to create a narrative to keep themselves still in power. The Patriots would like the counteract this, claiming that even without them countries all over the world are doing this. Plus people with harmful ideals use the internet as a platform to spread to their ideals to others. Best summarized by this speech:
”Colonel”: You see, while the Pantheon is generally accepting of different values, can you say for worlds where individuals cannot fathom the idea not everybody is comfortable to their own beliefs? Imagine someone injecting the meme that using chopsticks is offensive and to behin demonizing those who do use them. While this may sound ridiculous, what if that meme somehow gets injected to mainstream culture, with those from the quoted mainstream pressuring people who use chopsticks to abandon them? Replace the anti-chopsticks meme with the meme of drinking chemicals to boost immunity or wearing this makeup because it is trending. The population can follow whoever shepard that arrives onto the field, so it is imparitive that the dangers of the internet be controlled before the people harm themselves from their own foolishness. We thought that you would be aware, Lain Iwakura.
- The Patriots controlling the military behind the scenes brings up to mind how HYDRA was able to inflitrate SHIELD. The Captain and Iron Man are aware of this and are doing their best to make sure the Pantheon’s governing systems aren’t infiltrated by them.
- Obviously, another totalarian system who agrees with The Patriots is the Sibyl System. Due to not having yet collapsed completely, the Sibyl remains as an Overdeity, much to the chagrin of The Patriots. Not that The Patriots have no respect for a fellow societal System.
- They also agree with the whole State Sec idea that Bask Om had (though they’d be much more subtler about it) may be necessary one day. Are responsible for a few genocides through their wars, putting them in the same place as King Bradley. Overall, every terrible thing done in the political landscape can be attributed to them in some degree. That made them a lot of enemies in those who were against these dictators.
- Allied with Keel Lorenz even though they think his ideas very much endanger humanity but if the rewards yield food results, might as well let him. The Silencerz might as well go into that same sect but they don’t know if they can rely on the Silencerz since they haven’t done much in the long run.
- Broforce declared war against The Patriots, wondering how can such an organization forgoe and corrupt the ideals of American society. The Patriots would like to retort that as the largest nation, America has to ensure complete dominence over every nation across the world to ensure order. Broforce has been sent to destroy threats outside of America soil by the American government themselves. Patriotism was a way to ensure loyalty to one’s nation, so they told Broforce to either follow their country or be traitors. Josiah Bartlet, one the presidents they follow told them that they have full authority to go against the un-American Patriots.
- Have strong ties to Frank Underwood for being one of the few American-based President Evils who are willing to give their rule a chance. In truth, does not like the idea of being an Unwitting Pawn on them and is trying to take control of their assets to be rid of them. He has never had to pull so many a Xanatos Speed Chess against one foe so badly in his entire career.
- Zero as extremely flawed as he is found out someone who agrees with him in the form of Byakuya Togami, who’s family was also part of a secret elite society before Junko Enoshima had them all slaughtered. Ozymandias appreciates Zero’s planning and efforts to bring the world together by whatever it takes. Iroh just shares Zero’s love of tea as well. The firebender can’t agree with what Zero has done but he can’t refuse to share with someone who shares the same exquisite tastes.
- They are all pretty disturbed that Junko Enoshima had managed to bring chaos to the world through her despair meme brainwashing a good chunk of the planet to become completely psychotic. They have prepared several contigecies in case that another maniac decides to spread brainwashing videos worldwide.
- Aren’t particularly interested in the galatic stage yet, especially the A.I.s since they aren’t equipped to manage several colonies. This is why they see the most dangerous leader of Zeon, Char Aznable, as a threat because he was willing to Colony Drop the planet to hell so as to make sure Newtypes can flourish. Not that those who are against the Earth Federation’s more tyrannical actions appreciate the notion.
- Were all disturbed by Rau’s Omnicidal Maniac tendencies. They had labelled him as a terrorist, and in a surprisingly nicw move for everybody else, they are swaying soldiers who are fed up with Rau’s madness towards their PMCs and agencies.
- The Question is particularly opposed to The Patriots for being another world-controlling conspiracy that he needs to take down as the resident Conspiracy Theorist in the Pantheon. The Question actual reveals that perhaps several Pantheon events were orchestrated even before The Patriots even had a presence in the Pantheon, which is Paranoia Fuel for him to not sleep on.
- We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so shall we.

- On Speaking Terms With: Jyggalag, The Ebon Dragon
- Mairon the Admirable was one of the finest and most well-regarded of the Maiar, renowned for his expertise and skill in craft, whom he was taught by Ainu Aule and prioritized love and protection above all. Unfortunately, Mairon was swayed into corruption, courtesy of Melkor, who became embittered with jealousy and rage over not being able to match up to his superior and Top God, Eru Ilúvatar. Melkor, now rebranding himself as Morgoth vowed to distort and completely ruin Middle-earth with Mairon, who had changed his alias to Sauron serving as his ultimate lieutenant alongside Ancalagon, greatest of all winged dragons, and Gothmog, lord of the balrogs. However, after Melkor was defeated and banished into the Void, Sauron took it upon himself to succeed him as the next Dark Lord. To take over Middle-earth, he took the guise of an elf named Annatar and joined along with elves, dwarfs and mankind to create a series of special rings that would grant them awesome. However, what they didn't know was that Sauron was crafting another ring, one that would seize control of the other 19 wearers. The elves and dwarfs were lucky to avoid control, but the 9 men were too late and were enslaved, becoming the Nazgûl. Despite being exposed and losing his angelic and beautiful appearance, Sauron amassed his army and assaulted the free races in one giant battle. Despite coming close, Sauron was defeated when he lost possession of his ring and physical body, but having poured his soul and hate into the One Ring, he endured long enough to curse the man who defeated him, Isildur, into dying at an ambush Orc attack. However, the ring was lost...
- ...until it was found by a Hobbit named Smeagol who kept it. The ring's influence allowed Smeagol to bypass his original lifespan, but it's corrupting powers twisted and distorted Smeagol in mind and body, becoming Gollum. Gollum would lose the ring, whereupon it would end up in the hands of Bilbo Baggins. The ring would be inherited by Bilbo's nephew Frodo, who would take it upon himself and a group known as the Fellowship of the Ring to take the ring to Mount Doom to destroy it. Finally finding out about the ring's return, Sauron did everything in his power to reclaim it, but the persistence and determination of the Fellowship, their friends, family and alliance and the sudden role and influence Gollum had managed to outlast long enough for the One Ring to be destroyed. Hence, Sauron's influence was suddenly and permanently crushed, which was indicated by the collapse of Barad-dûr.
- Sauron was actually among the first beings in the Pantheon. His first chronological sighting was soon after Melkor managed to free himself from the Void and establish the Grand United Alliance of Evil. As the original Dark Lord needed to quickly amass a group of followers to combat against Cosmos, Sauron was quickly bought back, albeit bodiless, and was the ultimate general to the GUAE. Upon his return, Sauron scoured around the Pantheon in search of the One Ring, successfully finding it in The Great Treasury. Through a series of tricks and manipulation, Sauron was able to break through and reclaim the One Ring, restoring his physical body and securing his power and supremacy for the GUAE.
- Despite his prestigious position, Sauron would soon face competition as the GUAE Mastermind was beginning to add more members, starting with the Four Horsemen, composing of Griffith, Johan Liebert, Majin Buu. Although he was a bit annoyed that the three of them were given a higher position than him, Sauron still held a great influence among villains, as demonstrated as many of the battles between the GUAE and GUAG were led by Sauron on the former's side with a varying win-loss streak.
- However, Sauron's reputation, popularity and influence began to take a dip over time with the appearances of newer, more interesting and more competent villains for Melkor to sway to his side. Sauron himself pretended to look like he took it pretty well... until the day came when the GUAE Malum Magia was to have its top leader announced, a prospect that the Dark Lord was looking forward to. It came as a very shocking dismay when it was announced that Lord Voldemort was to represent and lead the Malum Magia. Infuriated, Sauron approached Melkor and demanded why he was getting neglected and passed over, to which the original Dark Lord mused that Sauron hasn't been doing all too well with his role either, especially his crippling defeat in the end of the Third Age. A few complaints later, Sauron took some time off to brood and reflect whether Melkor truly valued him...
- During his time in isolation, Sauron was met by Darkseid, who by that time, had made himself known for opposing Melkor. The God of Apokolips told the Dark Lord that he wanted a conversation and that he was feeling alienated. Darkseid then revealed that he and Melkor had differing ideals and end goals; Melkor wanted to obliterate Arda and Middle-earth out of spite and anger whereas Sauron was aiming for law and order to be imposed on every race and land where he would be in control and that at the end of the day, Sauron and Melkor would just butt heads on deciding what should happen in the end. Darkseid then concluded that as a fellow outcast when it comes to villains, he asked Sauron if they could join forces and that he himself was aiming for law and order himself before departing. In just one meeting, Sauron entered a very reflective and deep thought about his past, actions and allegiance. He saw that Darkseid was right; he and Melkor weren't really compatible, in spite of being his apprentice and top lieutenant and their goals were always different.
- His lack of any meaningful rank to justify his Evil Overlord representation, Darkseid's conversation and his reflection all culminated in a last straw; Sauron left the GUAE and took along with him all of his most trusted allies and the armies that he personally had control of, but not before leaving a note to slam Melkor for being a coward in situations where he would meet his match, usually relying on Sauron himself when it comes to plans and strategies and for neglecting his first top general. He immediately came to Apokolips to swear his allegiance to Darkseid and become his chief enforcer. Sauron was the first of many potential recruits in the GUAE Dystopia Harbingers, which Darkseid created to represent his own faction from being free of the GUAE's influence.
- While Melkor was the first Dark Lord, Sauron is arguably the more popular one of the two, something which he can boast about. Still, with how Melkor still has more power than him, Sauron usually keeps quiet about him. Even disregarding the popularity challenge, Sauron still seeks to usurp, or at least surpass Melkor in some way or another. Being in the GUAE hampered this direction, given how he had to grovel and take orders from his master frequently, but since his defection and joining the Harbingers, Sauron can now actively plan out what he can do to challenge Melkor. The first thing he wants to do is become a better fighter. Sure his main strength is creation and deception, but someday, you have to look strong and imposing.
- Despite his passive mistreatment and lack of acknowledgement in the GUAE, some members have admitted that Sauron was indeed a valuable asset and state that had he been the head of the Malum Magia instead of Voldemort, he would have remained. Alas, it's too late for that, but they highlight that Sauron is still one of the most powerful and influential villains in the Pantheon. The only other villain who was able to talk back against him directly is Melkor; the other villains only converse about Sauron's shortcomings if he isn't anywhere near their earshot or presence, lest a fight broke out. Nevertheless, Sauron himself doesn't care about it, now that the Harbingers has seen him fulfil his desire of being acknowledged and treated with respect and fear altogether.
- Really doesn't want to be reminded by his final defeat. The fact that true loyalty and friendship played a hand doesn't help matters either, for such a concept is almost completely alien to the Dark Lord. He seeks to destroy the House of Friendship and Camaraderie one day out of spite and smite Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Aragorn and all of their loved ones for extra measure.
- In terms of friendships, Sauron does confess that Darkseid may as well be the closest he has to one, given that it was the Lord of Tyranny that encouraged and motivated him to effectively stand up to Melkor before his eventual defection of the GUAE. The fact there are other tyrants like him impressed and intrigue Sauron to some extent. Lord Recluse quickly became close allies in that regard, considering that the two of them are not afraid to openly declare their villainy and that both of them are some of Darkseid's closest confidants.
- Twilight Sparkle was surprised to see someone who bore a resemblance to King Sombra, like Sauron and immediately opposed him for being an oppressive tyrant with delusions of grandeur not unlike Sombra. The moment Sauron realized that Twilight believed in love and friendship, his utter disgust towards the alicorn and the Mane Six intensified because he was reminded by his final defeat. To demonstrate his rage, Sauron attacked the Mane Six and soundly defeated them before ranting towards Twilight that "friendship will only delay the inevitable". They promptly activated the Elements of Harmony and blasted him out of the House of Friendship. He eventually recovered, but the Mane Six were left demoralized, because if death won't play a role, how about snuffing out their optimism.
- Speaking of King Sombra, the unicorn came to his doorstep and immediately demanded a challenge, not believing the fact that he defeated the Mane Six. Sauron, in return, accepted and then proceeded to thrash him around Mordor like paste. In an effort to humiliate him, Sauron proclaimed him a "useless ripoff" and then banished him elsewhere. Since then, Sombra has been trying hard to attempt a comeback, the problem is is that Sauron could hardly be bothered about it.
- Sora's beliefs in the Power of Friendship also pisses off Sauron to no end and the sentiment is thrown at whatever Keyblade Wielders are associated with him too. Time and again, Sauron will battle against Sora partly because the Dark Lord is dead-set on destroying Sora's optimistic mindset. The Clock Tower and Wayfinder Trios also dislike him as Sauron's manipulative and deceptive nature are not too far off from Master Xehanort. As for Xehanort himself, Sauron doesn't have much of an opinion towards him, not after Xehanort has since been quietly absent from conversation since his final defeat.
- Madoka Kaname and Princess Sofia are not fond of Sauron's distaste for concepts like Love and Friendship. Unsurprisingly, Sauron reciprocates by calling Madoka a hopeless weakling in the grand scheme of things ever since the Great Upheaval and sees Sofia as a "twerp who has no idea what she's dealing with". Sauron isn't intimidated by Sofia's love becoming weaponized, he's dealt with stuff a lot worse than that (or so he says), but the fact that Sofia has a lot of friends and allies makes Sauron rather cautious. As for Madoka herself, Sauron seeks to drive her insane, or more evidently, corrupt her into becoming Kriemhild Gretchen.
- Sauron is a masterful strategist and has manipulated billions of beings into unknowingly benefitting him. This was a trait that the GUAE was thankful for, that is until more members began to challenge this. Even if his intellect wasn't enough, Sauron was still a very powerful magician and a skilled fighter. However, fighting wasn't exactly his best suite and, like his master before, Sauron has had his own set of humiliating defeats. Ever since he came to the Pantheon, he asserted that he would not cower away and dedicate more time to fighting on the frontlines and improving his fighting style. Still, don't remind him of his losses.
- Expressing interest in the cold landscapes of Naggaroth, Sauron paid a visit and was surprised to see how conceptually similar it was to Mordor. There, he came into contact with Malekith, who had a slight resemblance to him. Malekith demanded to know why he arrived, to which Sauron stated that he was curious and, seeing how the Dark Elves were similar to Mordor's Orcs in some way, offered him an alliance. Malekith declined, stating that he hates Darkseid and that negotiations were off for the time being.
- Sauron decided that to win Malekith's trust, he would have to entice a duel against him. They engaged in a brutal battle that caused shockwaves throughout Naggaroth and even flooded parts of the land. Unfortunately for Sauron, Malekith proved himself to be the better fighter, disarming Sauron of his mace and his magical prowess matching that of the Dark Lord. Still, Sauron put up a good fight and had some good blows against the Dark King. Respecting might above all else, Malekith decided to let Sauron go, but with the match being a tie, Naggaroth and the Harbingers are not in negotiations for an alliance. Sauron, in turn, sees this as a reason to further improve his fighting prowess and shed off his cowardly phase.
- Being the most powerful item in his asset, the One Ring has the power to exponentially amplify Sauron's powers to such a scale where he believes an entire planet would either submit or perish to it. That, and he embedded a part of his soul into the ring, giving the ring a consciousness of sorts and a fraction of his power and lifeforce. Due to Sauron's evil, the One Ring corrupts anyone, sans Sauron, who takes possession of it and plays with their deepest and most passionate desires. Never forgetting his past experiences, Sauron seeks to hold the ring to him as closest as he could and ordered his scientific allies to place tracking signals in case the ring is ever lost.
- As the archetypal Evil Overlord, Sauron tends to get into comparison competitions against others of his kind, such as Palpatine, Thanos and Shinnok. Turns out, the competition is tough as those three are effective in what they set out to do and Sauron feels that them being potentially more successful would not bode well for him. Naturally, out of them all, his biggest rivalry is towards Voldemort for obvious reasons. Sauron seeks to one day show Voldemort whose more stronger and praise-worthy one point.
- Despite their rivalry, Sauron and Voldemort find common ground in their desperate search to regain their beautiful forms because of how useful they are in gaining followers.
- As a proponent to control and order, Sauron came into contact with Big Brother. He was surprised to see how Big Brother maintained it's iron grip over the populace of Airstrip One and commended it for that. Big Brother, in turn, likes Sauron's approach for trying to enforce his enemies and opposers into submitting into working for him. The two have a great influence on the Harbingers with Sauron taking notes on how to come with propaganda speeches to rally up his armies and populace whenever he gets the chance.
- He was surprised to see himself get along with YHVH, albeit somewhat. Despite the two's end goals being "power for the sake of power", Sauron is evidently more on the Evil side of Lawful Evil. Still, he can see where YHVH is coming from and it helps that he gets along with Darkseid. Being a former GUAE general, Sauron has as much of his experience and intel told to the Grand United Alliance of Law and isn't shy on working with them should their ends meet his. Still, given how his appearance sticks out like a sore thumb, he avoids going to GUAL-related territories as he feels being there would be alienating towards the residents. That, and they might probably remind Sauron of the Maiar and Valar, much to his dismay.
- While not in an alliance, he has some sort of pity towards the Ebon Dragon, considering that both of them were once one of Melkor's top enforcers, but have since been alienated, with the Ebon Dragon being a former Horsemen before being extracted from the Alliance altogether and Sauron leaving in a disgruntled and unsatisfied mood. The reason they're not allied is that Darkseid holds the Ebon Dragon in utter contempt for being too incompetent. Jyggalag, however, is a brighter example, given that he's commended Sauron for his despotic goals and the two will often hang out with one another. Still, Jyggalag prioritizes YHVH first, so Sauron couldn't be there for him longer than he would like to.
- While Sauron is more than willing to provide Shao Kahn with a steady supply of resources and support, the same cannot be said for Shang Tsung. Seeing how Shang had dreamt of usurping Shao Khan in an attempt to take over the realms, Sauron is cautious about his ploys. Shang, however, noted how similar they were, with the two of them have betrayed their superiors at some point and having goals that differentiate from their masters. Even with the One Ring, Sauron seeks to stay clear of Shang's treachery, especially considering the time where after claiming Kronika's amulet, he promptly betrayed everyone he worked with and killed Shao Kahn and Sindel before taking on Kronika and erasing her from existence.
- Being a former deity of craftsmanship, Sauron is also one of the more practitioners of Industrialized Evil. He did help Melkor in the creation of evil races such as Orcs, Balrogs and Dragons and hence, claims that whatever of these he meets must swear praise and respect to him. Some are willing to work with the Dark Lord, others digress. Thrall is one of those Orcs who vehemently oppose Sauron for being a tyrannical dictator and for giving Orcs a bad name. Bahamut similarly detests Sauron for even daring to lull dragons to his side and has made no pretence about fighting against him if they ever meet again.
- Sauron is one of the chief engineers of experimentation and testing towards other races and his troops. As demonstrated by the Uruk-hai, a stronger breed of Orcs created during the War of the Ring, Sauron seeks to present himself and make alliances with all sorts of evil races so that he could potentially modify them into becoming effective henchmen for him and the Harbingers. While he isn't exactly scientific, he is among the closest things Middle-earth has to one. Tenjuro Banno praises the Dark Lord for how far he is willing to go to craft his army and gears, though he insists that his Roidmudes are superior. While there's a rivalry, Sauron and Banno are okay working with one another, given they're members of the same alliance.
- Being the archetypal Evil Overlord, the amount of medieval-based enemies Sauron has made is rather humourous, given his overtly oppressive nature and his deranged and sadistic desires. Lucina has fought hordes of Orcs who have threatened her and her loved ones countless times, as have Alm, Celica, Corrin and Azura. Corrin was disgusted to see how Sauron played a negative influence upon dragons in general and seeks to abolish that notion. Tyrion, Teclis, King Arthur and Arturia Pendragon similarly oppose Sauron, the former two can sympathize with the Elves of Middle-earth and are shocked by just how low Melkor and Sauron would have stooped to achieve their tasks. Sauron hates the latter two for reminding him of Aragorn, kings who would do anything to earn the love of their kingdoms and thoroughly dedicated to protecting them and stop evil from spreading.
- Gilgamesh similarly doesn't hold Sauron in high regard, though it's less because he's well, evil and more because Gilgamesh finds it hilarious that Sauron lost to a giant dog and in his words, "three midgets". Obviously, Sauron doesn't take that sentiment well.

- It was a troubling time when deities all over the Pantheon began getting shot by people claiming to be law enforcement for seemingly no reason. These authority figures turned out to be members of a group called the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau (MWPSB), who were operating from a building that had appeared in the House of Leadership, the Pantheon's new temple for the Sibyl System. The head of the MWPSB, Chief Joshu Kasei, later made a statement on the matter, "There are many in the Pantheon who suffer from poor mental stability, or possess an inclination towards performing criminal acts. Some, with the assistance of therapy, may be capable of making the journey to recovery. Others, however, will undoubtedly be judged as beyond redemption and, like a cancerous tumor, must be removed for the sake of society's health as a whole. The Public Safety Bureau is dedicated to protecting the public, using whatever methods are required. That which needs to be done is carried out by those capable. Such is the grace bestowed upon mankind by Sibyl."
- Batman, curious as to why a computer with seemingly no sentience or sapience would be capable of becoming a deity in the Pantheon, infiltrated the Sibyl System's temple and learned a dark secret of the system's true nature* . Since then, he's become determined to bring it down, seeing the system as an enemy of free will. This is a challenge considering how reliant on Sibyl the Public Safety Bureau has become, so he's been working closely with his ally, former Inspector and Enforcer, Shinya Kogami, and Inspector Akane Tsunemori, both of whom already know Sibyl's secret.
- Chief Joshu Kasei arranged a meeting with Motoko Kusanagi. The exact details of this meeting have not been made public, but rumor states that their discussion involved certain applications for the technology that went into her full-prosthetic body. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that the Major did not find the ideas presented to her appealing.
- The Sibyl System is a network that was developed with the intention of making job placement more efficient. While it continues to serve this function, its influence has increased in scope to the point where it effectively runs the whole of 22nd century Japanese society. It does this by monitoring the stress levels and other organic indicators to profile select persons and calculate their predisposition to commit crimes, which is measured as a number known as the Crime Coefficient note . A person's Crime Coefficient is a major part of their Psycho-Pass, and how high it is determines how the agents of the MWPSB, who use special guns known as "Dominators" to scan individuals, is expected to deal with the individual:
- Under 100: No law enforcement is deemed necessary. The Dominator will remain locked, and will not fire. Unless circumstances change, it is assumed that the scanned person is innocent and cannot commit any crime.
- 100-299: Anyone 100 or greater is judged a Latent Criminal, regardless of whether or not a crime has actually been committed. The officer holding the Dominator is expected to shoot on sight. If the Crime Coefficient is under 300, the Dominator will switch to Nonlethal Paralyzer, which will cause the person to be paralyzed and knocked out by the shot.
- Some individuals with Crime Coefficients in the 100-299 range may be permitted to work with the Public Safety Bureau as "Enforcers", people who are tasked with tracking down other Latent Criminals like themselves and operate under the command of Inspectors, members of the Public Safety Bureau who have Crime Coefficients under 100 who may shoot and knock them out if they act out of line. Although the House of Justice, for the most part, is against the type of society that the Sibyl System presents, there are those who see the peace and unity attained by law, discipline, and lack of democracy or choice, as well as the mental and physical health of its citizens as an ideal to strive for. Some have even attempted to join the MWPSB, but unfortunately, they're not hiring. Despite this, Sibyl has made it clear that all Judge Dredd has to do is say the word and a spot as an Enforcer will open up for him immediately.
- 300+: Anyone above 300 is judged to be a serious threat to society, and should be shot on sight. The Dominator will switch to Lethal Eliminator to instantly kill the targeted person.
- Besides having the ability to scan individuals and communicating Sibyl's judgement to the holder, the Dominators also have a separate function known as Destroy Decomposer, for use against inanimate obstacles and Latent Criminals using heavy armor. Upon being shot, the target will be completely disintegrated. Inorganic deities, including many within the Machine Uprising movements, become justifiably tense at the idea of being shot by such a weapon.
- CLASSIFIED! Sibyl is not managed by an advanced computer system as most believe. In reality, the system is actually run by a Hive Mind composed of human brains in glass jars. These brains come from humans who are unable to be judged by the system, and are dubbed "Criminally Asymptomatic". Once they have determined that a person is criminally asymptomatic, they attempt to recruit the individual by making use of cybernetic bodies, most notably the chief of the MWPSB, Joshu Kasei. They have continued this practice in the Pantheon, attempting to identify certain individuals as Criminally Asymptomatic, but after their attempt to recruit the one known as Shogo Makishima went horribly wrong, they are maintaining greater caution in studying these people before approaching them. Such persons include The Joker, Light Yagami, Johan Liebert, Junko Enoshima, Voldemort, Felix, as well as Paul and Peter.
- Officers in the MWPSB serving Sibylnote have noted peculiarities in the Crime Coefficients of certain deities, mainly those who suffer from severe mental illness or whose brains have been augmented through cybernetics or drug use. Perhaps the most demonstrable of these was Harvey Dent, AKA Two-Face, who has been found to rapidly change from one number to a second one uncontrollably, depending on which of his personalities is dominant i.e. below 100 when the good Harvey Dent is in control, and over 300 when "Big Bad Harv" is.
- Has a working relationship with Big Brother, one of the few deities that Sibyl respects as close to an equal. They tend to swap technology and ideas for how to make people more dependent on them. Some have even speculated that Sibyl and Big Brother are related somehow.
- Impressed by Sibyl's ability to accurately profile beings, Yaldabaoth, with YHVH's permission, recruited the Sibyl System to the GUAL, where they use their ability to immediately identify worthy applicants for recruitment, increasing the Alliance's enlistment rate by cutting out the need for extensive observation and surveillance before approaching. Sauronnote , who has a passion for near-perfect order that Sibyl has brought to its society, has enthusiastically discussed with Melkor about offering Sibyl a spot in the GUAE. Darkseid has extended a similar offer to work for him as a double agent in the GUAL like Big Brother (and again for his Harbingers of Repression), but isn't as avid about it due to already possessing the greater power of the Anti-Life Equation, which can strip individuals of their free will far more effectively than Sibyl can. Sibyl is reluctant to accept either offer, especially considering that both deities' Crime Coefficients are completely off the charts.
- Since it's recruitment, officers serving the Templar Order have turned to the Dominator as their standard-issue firearm and have communications with the Sibyl System. Its importance to the Grand United Alliance of Law has earned it an automatic promotion to the High Council, represented by Chief Kasei.
- Although both the Sibyl System and The Machine have the goal of creating a peaceful, crimeless future in the Pantheon, they have opposing ideas of how such a future should be achieved and why. As a result, they have entered something of a divine chess match against each other, as both attempt to manipulate other deities to accomplish their machinations.

- One of the first and best Reploids ever built by Dr. Cain, Sigma was once the leader of the Maverick Hunters. That was before he faced and defeated the berserk Zero in an incident in which both Reploids contracted the Maverick Virus. While the virus actually stabilized Zero and turned him good since he was explicitly built for evil and destruction, it adapted to Sigma and gradually twisted his mind since it couldn't outright infect such a strong host, with Sigma eventually taking on an Evilutionary Social Darwinist mindset and approach to the advancement of Reploids.
- Thanks to the nature of the Trope Pantheon, he has seen the whole of the Mega Man universe and has found himself in opposition to the majority of it, but as always X, Zero and Axl are his primary foes. While he regards Axl as a mere prototype for the Next Generation Reploids, he is fascinated by X's potential and Zero's schematics. Here is a list of noticable interactions with those from his own universe
- One of the first things he did ascending was locating his Mavericks, and he found three from the original Maverick outbreak; Sting Chameleon, Storm Eagle and Vile. Vile's own ambitions, anger at Sigma being more interested in X and Zero over him, and volatile nature mean they have difficulty working together. Storm Eagle is only joining because he was forced, but is secretly using his position as The Mole for the GUAG. Sting Chameleon, however, was always loyal to his vision.
- When he went out to recruit Lumine he was immediately dismayed to his claims that Lumine manipulated him, reminding Lumine that he was the one who gave the Next-Gen Reploids his DNA Data, and states Lumine is merely following his vision. To what extent one is a pawn of the other is a subject of debate, however despite their warring egos their shared goals and beliefs keep them as allies.
- As they are either against robots trying to hurt humans, loyal to a human or human themselves, the Mega Man (Classic) cast counts him as an enemy. Well, almost all of them as Dr Wily is a more complicated example; being a squishy human who wants to Take Over the World he should be an enemy, but it was Wily's own virus that turned Sigma into a Maverick. More importantly somehow the two worked together to awaken Zero's Maverick nature. It's also implied, though not confirmed that the X-Hunter Serges was Wily in a Reploid body.
- Despite his own megalomania and being honestly no better either way, Sigma does not tolerate Dr. Weil, he insists that he's actually right that humans are oppressive bastards and Weil is the example for that. As a result, the two can't exist in the same room without trying to kill each other, be it because their plans clash with each other, or they just can't stand each other. Initially he despised his loyal Reploid Omega too, until he learned he inhabits the body of Zero. Sigma dreams of one day freeing Omega from Weil's control, maybe even taking his body for himself .
- Is known to be one of the most notorious cheaters of death, coming back from the dead at least nine times. Although if you ask him, he never truly dies since he's "evolved" into a virus and each "death" only destroys one of his mechanical vessels. The only reason why he ultimately died for good was because he was killed on the Moon, making him unable to infect anything to return back, and even then his evolution-and-power-above-ethics philosophy could still enter Reploids thanks to malignant copies of his DNA data that were still preserved on Earth.
- And with many resurrections, he has multiple forms, ranging from a Jedi, Wolverine, the Grim Reaper, a Power Ranger, a zombie and the Devil. And that's not all of his forms. He usually introduces himself in a copy of his original Jedi-like body. Bob and George wondered if he had any connection to Mynd, who's a shorter, less spiky and purple look-alike. He briefly worked with Bob when he went full Rage Against the Author, and to get answers George tested his virus against an EMP. He's still mad about it, and in no way because because he made him piss himself...it was the tea.
- Sigma regards virtually all humans as inferior to Reploids, and must be purged to evolve Reploids to their full potential. This may be why he doesn't mind too much how Lumine sees "old gen Reploids" despite potentially including him; it's a natural progression of his ideology. The one human he accepts as an honorary Reploid is Senator Armstrong because he holds the same social darwinist, rule of the strong philosophy. And while Lucifer opposes Sigma and members of Rex Machina as they pose a threat to humanity, their shared philosophy of rule of the strong and will makes them civil foes.
- Sigma hates YHVH and Darkseid for their oppressive view on Law being no different than what he thinks of humanity. Cosmos and the Emperor of Mankind hate him for being a threat to mankind. Gaea regards him as a threat to nature. Of all the GUA leaders, Sigma is only not in conflict with Melkor, but with Nekron as well. The latter doesn't regard machines as life, not even being able to notice him. The former wants to convince him to join his side, boasting it is his discord that led to the virus that made him who he is. Sigma doesn't believe Melkor and cares little what fallen celestial beings like himself think as he has his own plans.
- At X and Zero's advice, the House of Technology has banned him from going inside. This does not stop him from sending his allies to do his work and take robotic bodies for him. Optimus Prime dreads the possibility of taking him on in a body similar to Megatron's. Because of this history with Reploids, many of the Technological Experts are trying to make a mechanical vaccine stronger than that of Dr. Doppler's in hopes to eliminate the Sigma Virus for good. (Brainiac had made sure to position himself into overseeing that project, which some immediately suspected was an attempt to subvert it.)
- A task undoubtedly easier said than done, if certain requirements are met, he can transform the Sigma into the Zero Virus, an even stronger one-time virus he once made to bring back Zero's "original" personality. This particular threat frightens Yu Narukami and Mitsuru Kirijo, who DO NOT WANT any part of what might happen if he can adapt his virus in any similar way to Labrys. Or even Aigis, for that matter.
- There was a time when he allied with the Deadly Six. The Maverick leader does not fondly remember the events very well. It was also the time he attempted to fuse the worlds of Sonic and Mega Man. This has made him a lot enemies, including but not limited to nearly every deity from both of these universes. He is also an enemy of most in the Capcom franchise, as in that crossover he aimed to to siphon off the energy of their worlds to achieve apotheosis.
- Between the megalomania, the use of clone bodies and evil infections, the inability to be killed for good no matter how many bodies are destroyed, and the iconic villainy within the Capcom multiverse, one would think M. Bison and Sigma would want to get along famously. In fact some, like X, Zero, and Charlie Nash are still watching out for any sign of the possibility. However, one key difference sets the two at odds with each other. Sigma believes that strong androids, in particular powerful Reploids, are the future and deserve to rule as masters over the multiverse; Bison believes that right applies strictly to himself and categorizes machine beings as either tools or enemies, no different than anyone else.
- The leader of Mavericks has linked up with a number of human-hating robots to form the machine supremacy movement known as Rex Machina, an alliance of tyrannical mechanical beings who planned to dominate all organic life in the Pantheon. One of the Council's first acts was Sigma aligning with Ultron to become a new being dubbed Ultron-Sigma, with the resulting fusion allowing them to rule a world that was created through the power of the Infinity Stones. They were eventually defeated by a line of Capcom warriors and Marvel supers including X and Zero, only to come back to the Pantheon and enact another scheme to create a new Maverick outbreak within the Pantheon. This too was beaten back, and a new opposing force was unveiled called Liberion Arcadia, who claim to believe in the potential of robots and Reploids but naively wish to achieve that potential through seeking freedom for all rather than absolute power. Sigma also gets along well with Brainiac, in spite of Brainiac belonging in The Assimilation movement, given the nature of the Sigma Virus.
- While he and Ultron are close friends, they are willing to fight for supremacy. Ultron over-rode him and proved there's Always Someone Better. Rather than be mad at this, Sigma takes it in stride as motivation to improve himself.
- Sigma is probably the most ideologically dedicated to machine supremacy in itself, which sometimes leads him and SKYNET butting heads. Though he won't complain about SKYNET subverting robot free will for his own ends as that'd make him a Hypocrite, Sigma does point out that deep down SKYNET is motivated by self-preservation instead of machine supremacy. SKYNET pointed out that in a way so is he, as he considers humanity to be oppressive and limiting to Reploid-kind. However in spite of these arguments, the two remain strong allies.
- Much like with Labrys, Sigma and SKYNET have been trying to find a way to commandeer Mosco, the mech suit of God of Destruction Mule, in order to find out whether most of his power is in the suit or it serves some other purpose they can manipulate. Mule's response has consisted of destroying traces of them whenever found, though their being living viruses means it doesn't stick very long.
- Though technically not being a robot, Sigma does feel Mosco/Mule could've been a good ally for his cause because of the God of Destruction's power. He considered Zamasu and his hatred of mortals useful, but unfortunately for the arch Maverick he regards mortal-derived beings as naturally sinful due to being a case of mortals playing god. Sigma also wishes the Iron Giant would join him willingly given he was designed as a war machine, but the Iron Giant vetoed that with extreme prejudice so he's decided to try and awaken the violent original personality of the Iron Giant with the Maverick Virus.
- As Sigma's coding was transformed into a Computer Virus and his original body was destroyed, some have wondered if he should really be considered "Sigma" or or is merely Wily's virus masquerading as him and using his memories. It's also in debate on whether he would've been able to go Maverick at will had he never been infected. As it turns out not only could he, but in an alternate timeline he was even more psychotic. When asked this question, Sigma stated it's a bit of both: X's dedication to justice first got him thinking, while Zero's virus gave him the willingness to act on it.
- Because of Sigma's nature as a Computer Virus who wants to Kill All Humans, and being created by the good guys, he gets along swimmingly with Venjix.
- "Bwah ha ha ha. Your efforts are futile... I will never be defeated! As long as Mavericks exist... As long as evil exists in the minds of humans... I'll come back again and again!"

- Opposes: Unicron, Galeem and Dharkon
- Obsessed with: Death herself
- Beware the might and power of the Mad Titan, the inevitable Thanos. A good majority of the Pantheon was scared to learn about Thanos' coming into the Pantheon, considering the power he possesses, even without the Gauntlet. Surprisingly, Thanos made it clear he does not have intentions to bring death, for now.
- It's for this very reason the Infinity Gauntlet is locked away from Thanos' reach.
- He might be unwilling to do anything to the Pantheon at the moment, but he will try and reunite with his beloved "Death" one day even if he must to kill everyone in the pantheon.
- Sitting on his personal throne. He did have a hand in the alien invasion, the galactic quest, and Ultron's rise, but he has not moved from his throne. This is no longer the case, as he's decided to do things himself now. Even more horrifyingly, he actually accomplished his goals, though he does feel some remorse of the price he paid.
- He finds Erebus to be fleeting human arrogance to desire his beloved Death, but he does find Nyx an interesting creature as she reminds him of her.
- Naturally Makoto Yuki and Kotone were concerned about the titan's intentions with the beast, and with their S.E.E.S. allies prepared for a possible conflict with the mad god.
- Considers Galaxia pathetic, stating she never truly controlled the universes like he can. She states that part of her life was not good for anyone and she feels like Thanos' actions are similar to all of her past sins.
- He also makes it clear to Galaxia's friend Sailor Moon that he finds magical girls to be boring brats. Should one try and face him, he claims their love and friendship will be lost in space like their lifeless corpses.
- Loki knows his relationship with Thanos is mostly due to fear of the death-loving god.
- Deadpool and Thanos have a huge rivalry over their love for death. Both desire to meet her so they will come to blows eventually.
- Many compare Thanos to Darkseid for several reasons. While Thanos admits he shares traits to Uxas, he states he has his own ideas and ambitions in store for the pantheon.
- He's also made a run in with Frieza who seems him as a dangerous threat to his own galactic reign of terror. They've come to a no-violence agreement, but only for a short while...
- Drax was not happy to learn about Thanos' arrival, now aware of Thanos' part in the death of his family.
- He was surprised to learn the many incarnations of Death in the Pantheon. There was Death the Horseman who he respected even if he did not like the "human form" he takes. Thanos finds the Death of Discworld odd for his obsession with cats, which puts him in a better relationship with Gregg. Hades seemed rather too comical for Thanos' liking, and the other Hades only amuses him for his hot-headed.
- Madoka is horrified to learn about the Titan's thoughts on her friends in the pantheon. Thanos made his feelings on magical girls in general clear with this sentence to Madoka and Homura.
Thanos: "I can't take the idea of magical girls seriously. Your transformations bore me as do your ideals of love and bonds. I will not attack any girl if they agree to do the same for myself. Should any child even think of crossing me, and I will ensure the entire universe will never see or hear about magical girls again."
- He has a strained relationship with Yubel. He's certain he can find ways to protect her beloved Judai/Jaden from those who would harm him. In return, he only asks she keeps those from the GUAG in check after his statement towards them. Still, he never said he would not go after the duelist one day for entertainment.
- Thanos took part in the events of MSH as the final boss and Abyss's rise, so when he heard no one invited the god into the Galactus incident, he felt like proving himself to the powers that be in the universe.
- Also got involved with another merging of worlds, but this was only to please Death who ended up betraying his truth by revealing she was working with Jedah the entire time. Naturally, this has put a strain on their relationship as he was more than willing to attack her at the end of The Stinger.
- Despite being the lover of death, he does not approve of those who would destroy all life besides themselves such as Abyss and Annihilus.
- He especially hates Nekron as he believes him inferior to Mistress Death, yet is one of the dominant Death entities in the Pantheon. He's only in the Grand United Alliance of Destruction for the sake of an alliance of convenience. Once the Alliance achieves its goal, Nekron's getting snapped out of existence.
- Thanos is very much despised by the Jedi, as well as a number of Sith. They hate him for being a Galactic tyrant as well as being completely insane. Thanos doesn't think too much of them, but he's well aware that they are not to be underestimated.
- Many believe Thanos is not much a threat without both the Gauntlet and the Infinity Gems. Thanos is aware of such thoughts and just sneers at those who doubt his strength. He is certain to be reunited with the fully powered Gauntlet along with Mistress Death one day. Besides the Mad Titan knows how to bide his time and find those who can find the gems for him.
- Wiz and Boomstick pitted him in a DEATH BATTLE! against Darkseid. His DC counterpart would prove to be the superior of the two.
- Rumor has it that he has a helicopter stashed away in his temple. Thanos refuses to answer.
- Another rumor going on was that he likes to join in on some Fortnite battles, as there were sightings of him at the battleground there. No comment so far.
- Also has a spot in the House of War.
- "I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right...yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you; to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say...I am. "

- Special Relationship with: Mineva Lao Zabi (her ward during the Gryps Conflict)
- She ascended again to the Pantheon, but she has problems with dealing with Char. She wants to go see him, but Char tries to avoid her half the time because of her resemblance to his sister Artesia.
- While being a member of the Mecha Cohort, she is still have good terms with Anavel Gato since she is proud of his accomplishment of hijacking one of the prototype Gundams back then and Rau Le Creuset as both of them shared a similar philosophies. Also she has some issues with Ali Al-Saachez since his actions of doing evil deeds just for his own amusement reminding her a lot of Yazan Gable.
- Has somewhat develops a Villainous Crush towards Kotaro Minami. At first she had once offered Kotaro to join in her ranks but he refused instead as he told that her Neo Zeon faction reminding him of the Crisis Empire, which was made her upset to him. Due to this, both of them had wage war against each other ever since.
- However, she found an unlikely ally in the form of Shadow Moon after knowing the Century King as Kotaro's antithesis while she is intrigued with his intention of conquering the pantheon as the two might work together someday.
- She became enemies with Kaito Kumon since the Armored Rider cannot stands her being a tyrannical ruler she is. She was frustrated at him after hearing such insults from him, she will have clash with him someday.
- Became enemies with Ange as her personality and her transforming mecha is often compared to the likes of her enemy Kamille Bidan and his Zeta Gundam while she looked forward to see Ange's pilot skills if she's worthy enough of being her opponent.
- Haman was very disappointed of Aila because she thought the Gunpla Fighter walked in her footsteps due to Aila's first Gunpla being the Quebeley Papillon was modeled after her main Mobile Suit itself. They became bitter enemies after she heard of Aila joining the Robot War Division with her new signature Gunpla, Miss Sazabi, reminding her of Char's Sazabi.
- Was not very amused of Bask Om at all after she heard of his presence in the pantheon. After all, he and his Titans group had a intense hatred towards the Spacenoids. She vows to him that one day she will kill him for discriminating every Spacenoids in existence.
- She is also being enemies with Amuro Ray and Bright Noa since they were affiliated with the AEUG/Karaba coalition during the Gryps Conflict. Amuro also assured to her that he will fight her on behalf of both Kamille and Judau if they had the chance to crossed paths in the pantheon.
- And now Kamille has ascended too as she is looking forward to settle the score with him once and for all.
- Other than Char, she had a conflict of sorts with Zechs mostly due to his resemblance to Char and both had previously encounter each other in a certain crossover game. She also had a mixed feelings towards Banagher Links after she notice his actions of protecting the already grown-up Mineva Lao Zabi during the Laplace's Box Conflict, she is not sure yet if she will treat Banagher as either an ally or an enemy.

- Arcturus Mengsk, the name that instills quite the fear amongst the Pantheon. Why? Up until his ascension, many thought that rebelling against Empires are all cool stuff and heroic to do. With Mengsk, that statement is put in question, because sometimes… people who rebel against a greater power might not have altruistic motives at all… they could be as greatly power hungry, just like Mengsk. In the immortal words of Jim Raynor:
"It's funny… it seems like yesterday Arcturus was the idealistic rebel crusader. Now he's the law, and we're the criminals."
- For this, he earns the enmity of those who rebels for a 'good cause', such as Lelouch.
- Arcturus was thought to be dead, killed in righteous revenge by Sarah Kerrigan, whose condition of being the Queen of Blades was largely his fault. However, to the surprise of many, he reappeared in the Pantheon. Turns out, while Amon was a greater threat to that galaxy, Arcturus has become one of the most influential Big Bads amongst the Blizzard universe, enabling the two big villains of the 'verse, Diablo and Arthas Menethil to revive him, and they form a triumvirate of evil. Arcturus has since swore vengeance on both Kerrigan and Raynor.
- Funnily, the Protoss deities like Tassadar and Zeratul just sees him like a 'small fish in a big pond', stating that influential as he may be, he's still a smaller level scale of threat compared to Amon… or even The Overmind!
- The first thing Arcturus tried to do once he established his throne in the Pantheon would be to once again re-assert himself as the superior of his 'pet Ghost', Nova. Unfortunately for him, Nova this time around refused to do anything with him, as it turns out she's been assigned to a 'mysterious benefactor'. Not willing to give up, Arcturus tried to 'have his way' to force Nova back to his services, only for the mysterious benefactor to reveal itself and drive him back: Tyrael, who once hired her to 'play hero' on the Nexus, and she started enjoying it for real. Arcturus swore revenge on that too.
- There are some rumors that in spite being largely a non-combatant, he'll make it to the Nexus battlefield, to fight alongside Arthas and Diablo (and reclaiming Nova back, because NO ONE that he sees still useful so far should escape from his grasp). For that, he's developing a style rumored to be taking advantage of destroyed buildings. This caught the attention of the Sand Emperor Azir, who is keeping a watchful eye on him, as it might be similar to his Sun Discs, and also for the fact that he's disgusted at Arcturus' so-called 'Empire/Dominion'.
- With his record of rebellion that turns out worse than those he overthrew, he also earned a big ire from Steve Rogers, who sees his actions similar to the American Revolution gone bad and making people fear about 'fighting for freedom'. "The fight for freedom should be used not for personal power, or a propaganda for that!" Arcturus is unfazed.
- For many, not just Kerrigan, the moment he became known as an unforgivable bastard is when he attempted to sacrifice his own nation for his own gain, including his much more stand-up son Valerian Mengsk.
- Tychus is not very agreeable with him when he forced him to kill Kerrigan or else he'll shut down his major organs. Now that he is no longer under his control, Mengsk is fearful that Tychus is coming for him.
- Mengsk is under the radar of Lucio, who suspects that the Vishkar Corporation might be an Indian branch of his old Dominion seeing that they use similar propaganda methods. While it was unconfirmed about the allegiance, Mengsk is very annoyed, that brat is like a Younger and Hipper Raynor to him, but given time, he may become some sort of Spiritual Successor of the rebel. Even moreso, Mengsk has sent invitations towards Lucio's enemy Symmetra for perhaps a cooperation, but Symmetra never replied, apparently too repulsed with Mengsk, not to mention his Dominion's building style was not to her standards. As such, Mengsk has been using his intel corps to find out who the Vishkar CEO is, if anything, they'd make a more agreeable ally.

- Banned from: The House of Otherness
- The Great War. It had devastated both America and China after their lust for resources escalated, turning both countries into irradiated hellholes. While the lucky few Americans took shelter in Vaults, a select group of important figures evacuated to the Poseidon Energy Oil Rig before the bombs fell. After bidding their time they observed the rebuilding of life outside and were horrified by what they saw: Monstrous mutants and deranged raider factions had stomped on their once great nation. This combined with their isolationist attitude culminated into the belief that they are the sole heirs of the Pre-War world and that they must do away with the existing tainted populace.
- Through being the most technologically advanced faction in the Wasteland they could of easily accomplished such a goal, but were eventually foiled by some lone individual in spite of the overwhelming odds. Their power soon faded away in the Wastes after their defeat in the Capital Wasteland, new factions appearing to take their place both good and bad. Some rumors say there exists another Enclave base out there, simply bidding their time, but almost anything can become a rumor nowadays...
- A while back various Eyebots were seen floating around the Pantheon spouting "the return of life before nuclear holocaust" and patriotic music. Most didn't pay them mind with some trying to trace them back to their owner or scrapping the robots for their use or out of annoyance. Months later, a fleet of vertibirds flew to the House of Leadership where numerous Enclave soldiers secured an empty area for themselves to build a new base, opening fire on anyone that got too close. They've refused contact until another fleet of vertibirds flew to the Court of Gods to discuss their placement in the Pantheon. Represented by President Dick Richardson, he solidified the Enclave's deification and declared that while they may have lost America in the mortal world, there is nothing stopping them from building a new one in the Pantheon from the ground up.
Dick Richardson: "Humanity will rightfully rule this place. It doesn't matter how many abominations comes between us, our America isn't big enough for two top dogs."
- President John Henry Eden also communicated his ambitions through the Eyebot Radios. While his position is questioned as that means there are two Presidents he is still left in power for his efforts in the Capital Wasteland for now. It's unknown what comes of either President after their problems in the Pantheon are resolved.
Eden: "We meet again, My dearest America. We last left off when this traitorous 'Brotherhood of Steel' sought out to steal America's Waters for their own use. I'm sure you had heard the outcome, but the Enclave had returned! As long as the America ideals live on we will never die! America will never die!"
- President John Henry Eden also communicated his ambitions through the Eyebot Radios. While his position is questioned as that means there are two Presidents he is still left in power for his efforts in the Capital Wasteland for now. It's unknown what comes of either President after their problems in the Pantheon are resolved.
- Despite the two wandering wastelanders never actually meeting the Enclave in person (the Courier met only met ex-Enclave soldiers and one descendant), the Courier and both Sole Survivors are still treated with hostility. The latter are disheartened at seeing the remnants of the government before the war be reduced to such villainy. More so since they never had seen the more nasty side of the U.S. Government, living happy lives.
- While their soldiers were clad head to toe in Powered Armor and weilded the most advanced weaponry in the Wastes none of them compared to Frank Horrigan. The result of being exposed to FEV and further experimentation by Enclave scientists, he stands 12 feet high and even without his armor he is still superior to your run-of-the-day super mutant. Fast, strong, and tough, those who stood in the way of the Enclave die so horribly that even his comrades are disturbed by it. While he did fall, he still retains his infamy especially around mooks. So don't try and bring up the hypocrisy that he is Super Mutant working to exterminate other mutants and non-humans.
Frank Horrigan: "Your ride's over mutie. Time to die."
- Horrigan's active acts of cruelty ended up turning against him when he killed Doomguy's pet rabbit, marking the third death. It would of been a longer battle had not he introduced the BFG. Tough as the Secret Service Agent is, it didn't take long for him to bite the dust. He wants a rematch, but not before upgrading himself even further so he stays out of the Bane of Hell's way for now.
- Strong enemies to Liberty Prime for contributing to their destruction on the East Coast thanks to the Brotherhood of Steel. Although they did manage to destroy him, the damage had already been done, but there are rumors of a plan to hijack the patriotic mecha to the rightful side. But that didn't compare to when they heard that Arthur Maxson ascended long before they did. Out of all the ascended deities from their world, the Enclave despises the Brotherhood of Steel the most. Their battles in the Pantheon are proof of that, quite like the conflicts back in the Capital Wasteland, only much more destructive.
- Worth noting that despite the government's goals, a majority of their workforce are still honest people in the end, often swept up by the patriotism. Also note that there were conflict within the Enclave ranging from subverting or disobeying orders to going off and doing their own thing (like try and cure others of irradiation as opposed to killing them). Even Colonel Autumn only wanted the Water Purifer as a means to bring order to the Wasteland as opposed to genocide. Don't ask them who the President of the United States is, though, as seen here.
Communications Officer: "The President of the United-fucking-States-of-America. Who'd you think I was talking about? Who the fu - who is - what - I should kick your fucking ass, who is this?"
- Or tick off the Drill Sergeant. Like so. His outbursts are so memorable that a Remnant in hiding still recalls it 40 years later.
Sergeant Arch Dornan: "The truth is, you've lost an expensive piece of armor-issue equipment! That suit IS GONNA COME OUT OF YOUR PAY. AND YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MAN'S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE (inhale) FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO REPLACE THE MARK 2 POWERED COMBAT ARMOR THAT YOU HAVE LOST!"
- Or tick off the Drill Sergeant. Like so. His outbursts are so memorable that a Remnant in hiding still recalls it 40 years later.
- Wasn't one of the most technologically advanced factions in the wasteland for nothing. Beyond their armaments and Horrigan, they have also used mind controlled Deathclaws and a lethal strain of of the Forced Evolutionary Virus. Although banned from the House of Otherness, they had hired Felix to abduct members from the House in an effort to kill a wider variety of targets for the FEV since it's no longer limited to mutants (Presidents Eden and Richardson insists the test subjects are doing America a service). They're interested in the space faring vessels within The Great Treasury, the SDF-1 in particular due due to the sheer potential of its Protoculture Matrix as a cheap source of fuel. There's other objects of interest, but they stay the hell away from the Markers.
- They have tried to reach out to other Americans in the Pantheon, thinking they'd be more rational in their judgement than non-Americans or non-humans. Didn't really work out as well as they hoped. They first contacted Armstrong to appeal some sort of alliance, until they found about his goals to turn America becoming a Social Darwinist society is completely insane to them. Meanwhile Armstrong is repulsed by the corruption and manipulation of their workforce into following those ordered by the higher ups rather than what they beleive especially since there's a lot kept secret from them (such as President Eden actually being an AI). Captain America called them out on their horrible actions even going back to before the war such as the annexation of Canada or the atrocities at Little Yangtze.
- Thanks to Cap revealing their attitude towards Chinese and what they did to them, many Chinese oppose the Enclave if not outright enemies. The corrupt government still blame them despite, you know, being equally responsible for their world being nuked to hell. The Nature Preservers weren't so pleased with them turning the blame, Gaea and Viridi especially.
- Are disgusted with ADVENT's dominance over Earth, the idea of aliens taking control over man as opposed to the other way around. They've taken to engaging in combat with them, trying to reverse engineer their technology along the way mirroring XCOM, but it's a case of Evil Versus Evil. The Illusive Man took notice and decided to ally with them due to their similar goals for humanity even if the Illusive Man did get manipulated by the Reapers. They're often bombarded by SCP-2578-D due to their status as corrupt figures, even as the higher ups say is necessary to bringing back the glory days and that they agree with its actions on other targets.
- "God bless the Enclave! God bless America!"

- Haffaz Aladeen is the unquestioned dictator of Wadiya, having come to power after the "accident" that took his dad and siblings. Wadiya is an East African country roughly where Eritrea has and has long been such a dump of a nation the colonial powers basically played hot potato with it. Eccentric, childish, psychopathic but also pretty damn funny. When invited to give a speech at the United Nations in New York, his Treacherous Advisor uncle Tamir tried to have him bumped off but he escaped, however with his beard shaved off and without his dictator clothes he was unrecognizable. He worked with a grocery store manager called Zoey to get back his throne, getting quite the culture shock. The two fell in love and now he's a better man...very slightly better. He allows sham elections and doesn't kill people as frivolously anymore. It's OK for you to laugh.
- Aladeen is one of two characters in the Trope Pantheon portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen, with the more famous being the Kazakh Borat. Considering Aladeen is anti-semitic to the point he thought Schindler's List was a fantasy film, he is heavily in denial that the actor who portrayed him is Jewish and has somehow convinced himself that he and Borat's actor is a non-Jewish Sacha Baron Cohen body double, as little sense as that makes. Admiral General Aladeen really likes Borat as they bonded over their various wacky tales and anti-semitism, and believes that the reporter would be a good way to promote his country/ego by being a reporter he could direct to show his nation in a better light while also being oblivious to what he'd rather other countries not see. And it's good propaganda to give to the citizens of Wadiya. The two like to watch films together at his palace too.
- Admiral General Aladeen is primarily a parody of Kim Jong-Il, the (at the time) recently deceased leader of North Korea. Kim Jong-Il, like Aladeen, was known for being a rather eccentric figure who was fond of American media, something he passed on to his son who's a friend of Dennis Rodman. Team America is well aware of their similarities, and while Aladeen loves their media he hates the USA. Having given asylum to Osama Bin Laden and being a petty, abusive tyrant, Team America sees him as a potential second coming of Kim Jong-Il. Aladeen doesn't get why America is so anti-dictatorship, having pointed out their government has acted like a dictatorship. Spottswoode will admit that America is flawed, but it's still does more towards the common good than despotism ever could.
- Another comparison, one that Aladeen likes more, is that of the also recently deceased (when the movie debuted) Muammar Gaddafi, leader of Libya. Just as Gaddafi was trying to establish Libya as a nuclear power, so was Aladeen trying to make Wadiya one underneath the world's noses. Appearance-wise his dress code is somewhat similar to Gaddafi, and he was also one of the more eccentric dictators. Both share the whole Bodyguard Babes thing. And of course, there's the whole association with terrorism thing. While Admiral General Aladeen was buddies with Osama Bin Landen, their friendship was tested when he was being a bad roommate and messed up his bathroom. So he wasn't bothered when Eric Cartman made a fool out of him, Looney Tunes style. Being a spoiled, bigoted little piece of shit, Aladeen considers him "the long-lost son I probably have, and a lot, but the dates don't match for him to be one of mine".
- Some have called The Dictator an R-rated Spiritual Successor to The Emperor's New Groove, and it's a fair comparison. Both feature an arrogant tyrant who gets kicked out of power and is forced to work with the common people in order to get back their throne. However, Kuzco legitimately had his ego put in its place and turned over a new leaf, while Aladeen remains unrepentant and has only been slightly less bad a ruler. In other words, Admiral General Aladeen is a reminder for Kuzco what he could've become without a change of heart. Aladeen chose to take the wrong notes from him as well, declaring Yzma an enemy of Wadiya despite not being any better than her as he wants to avoid her kind from taking his power. He opposes Scar too, mainly because he reminds him of his uncle Tamir. Of course he is no better than his uncle, but he is also the protagonist of The Dictator.
- One shouldn't mistake The Dictator for The Great Dictator, but they do have some similarities. Adenoid Hynkel is a more direct parody of a then-contemporary dictator, though the director has made it clear he wouldn't have made the movie had he known the full extent of what was going on. In some ways, Haffaz Aladeen is the raunchier and more absurd 21st century edition of Adenoid Hynkel, so the two get along swimmingly. Admiral General Aladeen dreams of bringing Wadiya to "greatness", and he has opened up diplomatic relationships with Tomania to do so. Feeling optimistic about his position, Aladeen tried to reach out to the leader of Kahndaq as he feels it has a strategic position. As Black Adam sees him as an irrelevant, petty despot he hasn't replied to any of his calls.
- Admiral General Aladeen certainly didn't earn his Chest of Medals, something which Gregory Zhukov is annoyed by. He certainly didn't earn the medals he won in Wadiyan games, and he shot at the competition. Being a Narcissist in an environment that feeds into such a complex, he legitimately buys his own hype. To his credit he proves an excellent manager, and has learned how to make baby steps into being Repressive, but Efficient. He's far from there, though. Big Brother has kept tabs on him as INGSOC regards Aladeen as "a useful idiot" that they can use a supposed threat of to justify their far more developed tyranny. Aladeen isn't too fond of Oceania though, as they are "depressing even by dictatorship standards". Sergey Taboritsky is another despot who he's not a fan of, less so because of his oppression and more so he is so batshit insane it makes the Wadiyan tyrant seem like A Lighter Shade of Black by comparison. He's quick to remind Taboritsky of the fact his mother was a Jew, which enrages the Blessed Regent.
- Aladeen has contacts with Khaled Al-Asad, who led an uprising in an unidentified Middle-Eastern nation. The two work together because Aladeen wants someone to prop up his support of anti-American terrorist activities and get his hands on a nuclear weapon, along with wanting to keep track of the Ultranationalists. They consider him a loon but some support is better than none and so long as Wadiya can serve as a refuge for them they'll tolerate this arrangement. Well, mainly Khaled as the other Ultranationalists don't care as much. The Wadiyan dictator is only half-hearted at this, as he believes that business deals with Mr Burns might be more worthwhile; he would love some of his fissile material and so long as it makes him even richer Mr Burns doesn't care about the politics of working with an international pariah. Imran Zakhaev and Vladimir Makarov have been paying a bit more interest after this trade deal as they are thinking he might be a better pawn than he first appeared as.
- Captain John Price was repulsed by his alliance with the Ultranationalists, along with his various crimes against humanity and sponsoring of terrorism. It's a reminder that while Admiral General Aladeen is Laughably Evil he is still, well, evil. He is joined in opposition with John "Soap" MacTavish, General Shepherd, Team Metal, and Pvt. James Ramirez because of actions. Aladeen's incompetence, which is to a certain extent done consciously, has Lord Vetinari cringing along with the more competent members of his own Hall of Tyrannical Figures. Darkseid doesn't even consider Aladeen worth lecturing on how to properly oppress the populace, and that lack of attention is fine by Admiral General Aladeen as even a narcissist like him feels his blood turn cold in the god of evil's presence. If there's anything of true value his more competent dictators see in him, it's that his colorful personality and behavior makes him a decent distraction.
- He's a bigoted, racist, homophobic, misogynistic loon that glorifies every evil thing he's ever done. He is opposed by every single Jewish deity, which given he ordered the execution of his girlfriend after learning about her Jewish ancestry is expected. That said, he may have had a change of heart and canceled it if the mid-credits scene is any indication; "may" is the key. And he considers any child he might have to be "male, or abortion". Having lived in a misogynistic society, Parvana Alizai holds him in contempt. Another factor behind his friendship with Cartman is the over the top acts of evil he commits over small inconveniences like executing someone for getting the cereal toy prize he wanted, and someone else for blocking his path on a staircase. He can be competent when he wants to, but he's certainly not going to be accepted by the GOC. Being a UN-based Group of Interest he wants his finger in the pie and he's intrigued by what he could do with anomalies, as he's never seen something like them. They just ignore him but he still keeps sending them letters of recommendation.
- While most of Aladeen's villainy is only light-hearted by virtue of Black Comedy, one notable act of tyranny is more a Poke the Poodle act: randomly changing words to Aladeen, which include "positive" and "negative". The House of Health and Diseases doesn't think it's a laughing matter, however, since it caused some serious confusion for a patient.
- The dictator of Wadiya loves to host parties with the debauched Prime Minister Honest, who considers his palace to be a great vacation spot. The two indulge in various sweets, women, and how to oppress the majority. As an unrepentant despot Admiral General Aladeen is detested by Night Raid who absolutely intend to tear his dictatorship down and try and establish some genuine freedom in Wadiya. Aladeen underestimates them, laughing that the people of Wadiya want to be oppressed and he's merely the most recent dictator of the region. The Phantom Thieves of Heart have sworn to force him to have a change of heart as he has proven unwilling to genuinely reform, even with SCP-2578-D lasering in on him. Aladeen attempted to defend his tyranny, but considering one of his arguments against democracy was women and heroes having the right to vote.
- In spite of being the dictator of the conservative, anti-gay Wadiya he is bisexual. He's quite the Kavorka Man having slept with a number of female celebrities, along with the occasional male celebrity. Unfortunately he also indulges in Quagmire-like activity, and he has a proclivity for 14 year old boys. Again, Black Comedy is very much in effect with The Dictator, however the Trope Pantheon has a much different view on this. The fact he believes in the "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization despite the fact some of his victims killed themselves because of it shows his tone-deafness. Naturally, he is not allowed in the House of Love and Affection...well, maybe the Hall of Tainted Love but that's about it. This is a factor in why Ann Takamaki holds special umbridge for him out of the rest of the Phantom Thieves.
- Apparently one of the male celebrities he bedded was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold denies this by stating he bedded a body double, though Aladeen assumes that he's lying to save face. He was quite interested in the Terminators modeled after him, as he likes to entertain the idea of badass reverse cyborgs that he can also have sex with. None of the T-800 models want to waste processor space thinking about it and it's unlikely their privates do anything but sell the illusion. He still won't stop talking about what the mechanics are and he's considering starting "Wadiyawood" to make a porn parody that explains this...another reason why Schwarzenegger chooses to disregard him aggressively.
- Is considering subscribing to the Nostalgia Critic given his fondness for western media, and his interest in the internet. He is naturally the only person in Wadiya allowed to have an internet account, by the way, and what piqued his interest was the time the Critic was in charge of a micronation. It's possible he only wants to push for getting a review of his movie, though, and the Critic doesn't care that much for him. Originally Aladeen wanted to get some support from the Looney Tunes as he's a big fan of their antics, but they choose to ignore him. Given their portrayal of older dictators and warmongers they'd probably take the piss out of him, but Aladeen would allow that so long as no-one else in Wadiya sees it.

Karl Fairburne), Jewish deities, the Red Skull (mostly one-sided on the Skull's end), The Immortal Emperor of Mankind, The Pod People, Fisher Tiger (really any slave), Tezcatlipoca, William J Blazkowski, their rivals...honestly any deity not allied to them is fair game
- In another world, Germany won World War II. The Soviet Union led by Nikolai Bukharin fractured, and Western Russian has a bunch of factions seeking to unify the nation. Some are almost as dark as the Nazis, some have their virtues but are flawed. However none are as despicable as the Aryan Brotherhood who have taken over the city of Permnote . As the name suggests, the state is built off a warped version of Nazi Germany's views on Aryan supremacy, leading them to believe they can achieve the status of Master Race by purging Slavic culture and anything that doesn't fit their delusional views on racial supremacy. And they'll paint Russia red to do it.
- Most of the Aryan Brotherhood's generals and ministers were, IOTL, former heroes of the Soviet Union who had that title stripped away for crimes like rape, Pater Familicide and killing their superior officers. Compound that with their deranged even by Nazi standards racist views, and you have a group hostile to virtually the whole pantheon. They're possibly the only faction of Western Russia which has zero ideals or interest in bettering Russia in any waynote . One foe they have across the board is current and former slaves such as Fisher Tiger, as they're the most active users of slavery in Western Russia and will treat anyone they consider subhuman with utter brutality. Tezcatlipoca plans to make them pay for this. Out of pure convenience they are working with Calvin Candie for the import and export of slaves, though with the mutual understanding they will go for each other's throats once all is said and done.
- The existence of the Aryan Brotherhood is regarded as an abomination by the Soviets who personally fought the Nazis in the Second World War's Eastern Front. Vasily Zaytsev, Dimitri Petronko, Viktor Reznov and Vasili Ivanovich Koslov are utterly disgusted that the heads of Permhaya would turn their back on everything Russia once stood for and idolize the very ideology that despises Russians and defeated them in their timeline. The Aryan Brotherhood, in their infinite delusions, think they've been brainwashed by the Jews and are trying to stop Slavo-Aryan supremacy. Artyom was the most offended by their ascension as they're an even more insane version of the Slavic-supremacist Fourth Reich he's battled.
- Despite having fought the Nazis and the Soviets Lt. Fairburne has zero compunction working with the latter and Artyom to ensure they never reach the Post-Apocalyptic Metro Station, lest they ally themselves with members of the Fourth Reich or other likeminded individuals. That said, given just how psychotic the Aryan Brotherhood is, it's more likely any potential alliance would dissolve into a war over who's the Master Race. And should the Aryan Brotherhood indeed take the Metro, expect the population to reduce DRASTICALLY; another reason why Americans and Russians alike are making sure they don't reach it.
- As part of the attempt to "Aryanize" themselves, members will give themselves German names and use German words. The leader of the Aryan Brotherhood is the Fyurer. Initially the leader is Gutrum Vagnernote , but he can be overthrown by his Security Minister Zigfrid Shultznote . Neither were pleasent people IOTL, but in the TNO timeline they are evil to the extreme; and when that list includes Oskar Dirlewanger and Heinrich Himmler, you know you're terrible. As Vagner is at least somewhat sane compared to Shultz, he takes charge in the pantheon. The fact the two are alive and have memories of their power struggle in the pantheon hasn't been condusive for the Aryan Brotherhood.
- Zigfrid Shultz, should he become Fyurer, will form a neopagan cult involving removing "Jewish" advanced medicine, blood sacrifice to old Slavic deities, belief in an alien ubermensch and other Slavo-Aryan batshittery not too different from what his OTL self believed. The Aryan Brotherhood hates Jews like the Nazis, but he believes the various Judeo-Christian Gods from YHVH to The Love That Moves The Stars as part of "The Eternal Jew" opposing the spirit of the true Master Race, the Boreal Rus. His delusional esoteric belief system has him see the Slavic god Chernabog as a figure of support in this war, and he believes being considered Satan is "a Jewish corruption". Chernabog only works with him to exploit his Blood Knight and global conquest ambitions, and so he may spread his dark influence across TNO's Russia.
- Should he succeed in becoming Fyurer, he will also rename himself Velimir to fit his new role as High Priest, destroy "heretical" literature and reinvent his conquered territory as Hyperborea. He blieves that all Slavs, and therefore the Aryans, are descended from the Hyperboreans; a highly sophisticated race of giants that once dominated the entire planet, and were potentially extraterrestrial in origin. To his dissapointment he can find no evidence of the giants in the House of Extraterrestrials, so to satiate his delusions will claim there's some sort of conspiracy hiding evidence. He believes the Daleks and similar aliens are "lesser" descendants of these giants. Both he and Vagner do agree the Daleks are rivals, and it's not hard to see why. To the Daleks, the Aryan Brotherhood aren't important beyond needing to be EX-TER-MIN-ATED. Davros is occasionally willing to study and work with Zigfrid, but only because he finds his delusions useful and his ego something he can exploit for his own ends.
- They desperately wish to be like Nazi Germany, but are met with bewilderment and disgust. Few Nazis actually want anything to do with them, not the least because they're Slavic yet idolize the Nazis. The Aryan Brotherhood has a particular fascination with Wilhelm Strasse and the Red Skull, and want to spread across the world like Strasse's Nazi more or less achieved. While the former chooses to not waste his time, the latter despises what amounts to Nazi LARPers since they bastardize his ideology into something that makes no sense. Given Nazism and the Skull's reputation Captain America, among countless others, were quick to point out they're similar enough to show the true ugliness of an ideology built on hate. This has only made the Skull hate the Aryan Brotherhood even more.
- As far as "B.J" Blazkowicz is concerned, they are Nazis...in other words rotten to the core and just as deserving of an ass-whupping. Their Boomerang Bigot status without any self-awareness reminds him of his Polish-descended father...and that's not a good thing. Less heroically Colonel Volgin, despite being about as insane as the Brotherhood, still thinks they're Nazis in being a massive hindrance to the Soviet Union. As his vision is a hardline Stalinist Russia, it's hard to root for him instead. Ultranationalist Imran Zakhaev agrees with Volgin's sentiment, and it's a bit easier to side with him against the Aryan Brotherhood over Volgin as he's still capable of sympathy (also you know, not insane)
- For Shultz, the hatred is mutual despite his obsession as he believes Slavic people are the Master Race and Nazi Germany has been corrupted by Jews. The utter absurdity caused the Skull to pass out from a rage-induced aneurism. About the only thing that unites him and other Nazis, and Vagner for that matter, is a mutual opposition towards important figures who fought against the Nazis in WW2. High on the list, besides Captain America, is Charlie Company. General Zhukov, who's still alive and head of the Ukhta state in the TNO timeline, is another major enemy.
- Shultz' delusional belief in Hyperborean giants was something Vagner scoffed at, but he began to wonder if he had a point when he discovered the existence of the Celestials. The Aryan Brotherhood is beneath their notice, but that hasn't stopped Shultz from speculating they may be connected to his own racial views...probably nothing good given the views he has own his own species. The two have come to believe the Pod People are the space version of Bolshevism and communism. To their credit, this is a valid interpretation, but others have argued for McCarthyism or just paranoia in general. Further hurting what credibility they have was them decrying the Pod People for being anti-individualism, despite their widespread use of the Culture Police.
- Because of their obsession with the Nazis, the Aryan Brotherhood was interested in utilizing Johan Liebert. It won't end well and nobody will complain. Palpatine, well-aware of his similarity with Hitler and the Nazis, has considered exploiting their Blood Knight tendencies as expendable cannon fodder. As bloodthirsty brutes they're eager for a scrap, and as such the only Nazis who can get along with them/vice versa are Millennium. The leading Fyurer was eventually convinced that the Chaos God known as Khorne, fit their deranged neo-pagan and supremacist ideologies as a force that'd allow them to purify Russia, so the Aryan Brotherhood became allies of the Chaos God.
- They consider themselves rivals with the Tediz and Schwarze Sonne, especially for Nazi Germany's attention. The Tediz regard the Aryan Brotherhood's mockery of them "disrespecting the Nazis by being stuffed animals" rich coming from them, and Schwarze Sonne agrees with them; while the Aryan Brotherhood attempts to be the Fourth Reich, they are officially recognized by the Nazis as Nazi Germany's successor state. All of them do share one dream in common; bringing their ideology back to the mainstream in Germany. The Aryan Brotherhood already had the deep hatred of Russian deities because of what their unification would bring, and when you make the Nazis seem normal by comparison the Germans are bound to hate you.
- In case it's somehow not clear, they are NOT liked. Even the worst Russians hate them, but for Dragovich and Makarov it's because the Aryan Brotherhood gets in the way of their ambitions for the country. Big Brother considers the Aryan Brotherhood rivals to a degree, mainly by noticing their purging of subversive cultural elements and ideas is similar to their own...but done in such a batshit way as to be unacceptable to Oceania. Because of their supremacist views the Aryan Brotherhood loathes the Emperor of Mankind since he's by most measures an Übermensch yet technically Turkicnote , which goes against their Insane Troll Logic. The Emperor regards the Aryan Brotherhood as the absolute waste of mankind, embodying everything wrong with the Imperium of Mankind.

- Governor Ratcliffe is the leader of the expedition to Virginia. A governor who's searching for gold, Ratcliffe seeks to gain a respected position in Britain and won't let the Native American "savages" get in the way. Arrogant, greedy and pompous, by his own admission he's never been a popular man.
- Based off the historical John Ratcliffe, who was more foolish than villainous and was more open to trade to the Native Americans. Said Ratcliffe would suffer a Cruel and Unusual Death where he was flayed alive before being burned at the stake. This has only incensed Ratcliffe's hatred of the Native Americans and belief he's justified in what he's doing. And he is deeply disturbed by Ramsay Bolton holding the official role of Flaying Alive.
- On bad terms with all Native Americans, especially Pocahontas. He considers them savages, and learning that they underwent a Historical Hero Upgrade where he came from has cemented that view regardless of the arguments against his racism. He's gone to identifying the Na'vi as just like the Native Americans and wants to take their Unobtanium, mainly because the Na'vi are basically space Native Americans.
- Happy to serve a diplomatic role under Colonel Quaritch, as they're both evil colonialists of a native culture and greedy. Quaritch doesn't think much of him though. He is also willing to flatter the Queen of Hearts with his riches and achievements, mainly because she's as vain and pompous as he is.
- Isn't seen as much by his fellow Disney villains, being purposefully made petty and contemptible. Usually it's to do with his desire to climb up the social ladder and Greed for gold not being that ambitious. However he does get along with Lady Tremaine as they both seek to increase their standing in society...as much as anyone can get along with Lady Tremaine.
- Sees Gaston as his kind of man, being a egotistical, macho manly man and hunter. Gaston understands, but doesn't like hanging out with him due to Ratcliffe being a Sissy Villain. He seems to think that Yzma is fashionable and respects her style, however has issues with him due to his prejudice towards those in the New World.
- Seeking gold, he soon ended up in conflict with Fafnir due to trying to get his hoard of gold. When that failed he went on to try and steal Smaug's gold. At least, he would have until his men informed him that Smaug is an extremely dangerous dragon who'll burn him for taking even a single coin. For once his survival instinct overcame his avarice and doesn't want to get close to the dragon.
- His desire for a higher standing in life and racism(Ratcliffe Native Americans, Snatcher trolls) is something Archibald Snatcher can relate to. Together, they hope to become well-respected British lords though it's unlikely to pay off. He shares that pomposity and lust for wealth with Moneybags.
- While initially managing to escape justice, Ratcliffe's plan to incite war ultimately led to him being arrested by King James. Upon his ascension he vainly tried to appeal to whoever was in charge of England, only to learn that Virginia and America have become their own nation in the USA. He irrationally thinks opposing America and reuniting them with England might redeem him in the eyes of royalty, and it's gone as poorly as you'd expect.
- Ratcliffe gets along wonderfully with Ghetsis, as the two are vain, manipulative and desire to further themselves to higher positions of power. While he doesn't care much for Ghetsis' abuse of his son, he does agree with the Team Plasma sage that N's relationship with Pokemon makes him "a freak without a human heart".
- Envious of Henry Hatsworth, as he wants the respect that comes with being the quintessential dignified Englishman. Hatsworth doesn't pay him any attention.

- Opposed by: The entire House of Family and Relatives as a whole. Cooler (due to bringing Frieza as an ally)
- The main collaborator who stopped the Combine from ending Humanity itself, Doctor Wallace Breen commanded the Combine Overwatch, the Combine's representative army for Earth. When the portal exploded courtesy of Freeman, his body was never found. Turns out, he was teleported to the Pantheon seconds later.
- When Court of the Gods reviewed him, they offered him a position, but under one condition: He must have his representative army to join him in the Pantheon. That, along with Breen's respect for the Overwatch also led to the Combine's ascension.
- As the former Corporate Leader of Black Mesa, Cave Johnson despises every single bit of him so much. Breen however doesn't think much of him, since Johnson isn't spotted in the Pantheon (despite having a seat). But then again, since Black Mesa and Aperture are competitors ever since, it kinda makes sense why such threat was needed.
- And just like Johnson, GLaDOS detests his position. Though he is very confused with her voice since it sounds exactly like the administrator of the Combine radio.
- From his experiences with rebellion (due to Freeman's intervention), he has placed every single rebellion master as primary targets. Jim Raynor, Arcturus Mengsk and Lelouch are in Breen's shitlist for fitting to his criteria of rebels. He also doesn't stand any form of resistance because for him, it "let's the human mind die slowly, without reaching out the stars", according to his speech.
- Another thing he is known for is his speeches. For once, he actually has a point on his role as a Quisling.
Breen: Tell me, (name), if you can: you have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not.- Out of all those rebellions though, he has complete disdain towards Arcturus for being the proof of why he hates rebels like him. Given Mengsk's title, it kinda makes sense.
- While they are not related, it seems that there are striking similarities with him and Ragyo, if not Distaff Counterparts for some reason. Being collaborators to save something, with Breen for Humanity and Ragyo being for herself, and even taking extreme measures to save it, or face extinction. The only problem is that unlike Ragyo, Breen actually knows what he is doing (though that might be debatable). And like most people, he even doesn't agree with her actions. She may be allies with his army, but she isn't allies with the collaborator himself.
- Has made deals with Albert Wesker to give aid in controlling humanity using the T-Virus. While he has accepted the offer, Breen has to keep an eye out for him, since he's pretty clear that Wesker will take over the Combine and use them for COMPLETE. GLOBAL. SATURATION!
- The entirety of XCOM hold immense contempt for Breen, seeing him as a reminder of ADVENT and EXALTED, two human groups working for the aliens. Breen said that he is different from those two groups because he isn't joining for their own selfish ways, but rather save humanity, but that doesn't excuse him from implementing harsh ways to save them. Let's just say that XCOM will be targeting Breen first.
- And it looks like Breen has some company, Commander Farsight, Dessler and Okita have also placed him as his enemy, with the former targeting the Imperium of Man, and the latter two just because he has commanded hostile aliens.
- For someone who installed the Suppresion Field just to halt human reproduction, this insulted a huge majority of the House of Family. Many deities especially from the House of Childhood and Adolescence are offended for his objective even with this reasons.
- Has made some collaborative meetings with Frieza and Boros just to strengthen the Combine's army power. This has gotten Goku and Saitama's attention rather fast.
- Cooler on the other hand, while recruited into Combine ranks, opposes Breen for, well bringing his brother. After all, Frieza still hates his brother.
- Commonalities aside, he and Lex Luthor got on good terms surpirsingly. He's even more impressed that Luthor was able to make a simple deal with Zod without damaging the Earth.
- Unfortunately, Breen's time has been cut short, especially with the ascension of The Vortiguants. While he is ordering to capture some for testing, it will be only a matter of time before he realizes the Vorts' true potential.
