Herein is the vile House of Villainy, rebuilt after eons past. The goals of these deities are destruction and the domination of all existence, seeking to impose their own order upon the multiverse. Although, it should be noted that not all the occupants of this House are totally evil. This house was founded when several of the heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man decided they wanted to resplit the House of Heroism and Villainy after the endless war had worn them all down for too long. While many of the Elder Gods were uneasy at the thought of another Hero/Villain house split after the first experiment, the case eventually went all the way to the Court of The Gods, where a very tired and irritated Johnson ordered the house to split up because "All that noise makes sleeping very difficult for the rest of us! I tolerate the House of Beasts and Fauna out of necessity but split the others up for now. Let them scheme in their own houses." Jean-Luc Picard facepalmed at this utterly arbitrary decision, but as Jack McCoy was leading the case, tired of having the lawless look over his notes, the decision passed with surprisingly little argument. The only dissenter was Harvey Dent, but after flipping a coin, he ultimately decided for it too, though it does create the awkward situation of him needed to drag himself between houses depending on his coin flip on who he was going to visit on-off time.

Melkor often resides here to plan with his horde on how they might take down the other houses before long. His temple which is mostly empty instead holds the central portal to the headquarters of the Grand United Alliance of Evil, which many villains use. Most of the resident villains admit that though keeping each other's company is difficult, this is something they'll need to deal with if they're ever going to crush those pathetic heroes under their boots.

Ever since the ascension of Crow, there has been a new wing to the house called the "Villain's Museum" for the purpose of celebrating all the victories that fellow villains achieved.

The only thing they have in common with the House of Heroism is their shared opposition of The Anti-Monitor.

  • The Antichrist; the very being who would herald the Day of Judgement, the Second Coming of Jesus and the eventual end of the world. To everyone's surprise, the exact, perfect antithesis of Jesus Christ... happens to be an ordinary little boy... at first. He would soon accept his role in heralding Satan's rule over the world and orchestrate the deaths of anybody who got close to revealing his identity, even his own parents. His destiny being his greatest priority above all else, the child would grow up to become a strong influence, becoming the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom and fronting an Industry... all whilst creating a secret Satanic cult in his future creation of his worldly vision. Damien Thorn is the bringer of the Eschatology, and he will stop at nothing to prevent the written victory of Jesus and God.
  • Damien met Melkor, who was impressed by his foul deeds and his destiny as The Antichrist. Damien felt confused at first, trying to imagine if Melkor was Satan, before realizing there were different incarnations of the latter in this new world. Melkor already had figures that were similar, but knew there was something unique in Damien, hence he quelled him into his alliance. Damien accepted, sharing Melkor's vision of sowing the world in discord, misery and destruction. He also found himself a great acquaintance in Griffith, who also saw Damien's leadership and charismatic persona as an excellent tool of manipulation and depravity.
  • While most people are familiar with Damien as a child, its not exactly the case for him as an adult. Then again, Damien ascended in his child-like state, which Melkor finds rather amusing in that one of the ultimate evils in the Pantheon is (currently) a little boy. Despite this, the God of Evil has actually met Damien as an adult at some points. Whether Damien has shapeshifting powers that he learned in the Pantheon is a mystery for now, but the Anti-Christ appears either in child or adult forms depending on certain situations (Wanting to traverse publicly, scaring off people or running his business and Satanic organization).
    • His adult form also brings up some controversy given some can mistake Damien for Alan Grant, which is certainly the kind of deceit the Anti-Christ would want to pull. In any case, he prefers not to change his form when dinosaurs might be involved.
  • Surprisingly gets along with Johan Liebert as both of them are cold, calculating and sociopathic in nature. Both of them express some kind of curiosity and interest in the sense that both of them are considered Antichrists, though Johan is metaphorical (or a true one) whereas Damien is literally that. Despite this, Johan has no qualms of backstabbing and eliminating Damien once he runs out of any aid or support, though Damien can only be harmed by holy weapons, which is something most evil-aligned deities, Johan included, couldn't possess.
  • While its little surprise he is the son of Satan what is rather irking is that Damien was conceived from a jackal. Damien has been seen under good company with the Beasts of Chaos, especially Gorthor who would do anything to please and spread Damien's influence. It also helps that Damien is favored by the Chaos Gods, Tzeentch in particular.
  • Don't be fooled by his innocent appearance as a child; the moment anyone gets close to revealing his true nature, its only a matter of time before they are brutally killed off, either by some kind of supernatural force, his followers or by his pack of dogs. These traits made Damien incredibly feared throughout the Pantheon, which to everyone's horror, immediately was warmly received by Melkor, whom the Anti-Christ had now decided to become his personal prophet for.
    • As the offspring of Satan (At least in his world), Damien is in good graces with the several incarnations of Satan residing in the Pantheon. One of his main goals is to free the imprisonment Dis is encapsulated in, which he will stop nothing at to achieve. The Beast and a Satan favoring Hell over Heaven have immediately given their support of Damien and his position to tear the world asunder for their own gains. Its only a matter of time before Damien would face extreme opposition due to his allegiance and actions.
  • Damien is aware of his divinity ranking as a Demigod, but the Pantheon are so fearful of him they treat him like an Overdeity (Normally, he would be a Greater God level threat, but being the Anti-Christ is a different story). Furthering his reputation is Damien's leadership and charisma which manages to win over all but the biggest of pure good hearted. Damien's political and industrial knowledge has also granted him a degree of influence in many fields and the Disciples of the Watch has benefited in spreading further discord.
  • Will often try to amuse himself by causing brutal acts via his followers and using his childlike appearance to lead a lot of residents astray and off-guard. The Joker has taken a liking to this, as does Yuuki Terumi and Junko Enoshima, who think Damien is among the best individuals to lead others into unsuspecting misery and pain. Damien does get along with them, but would rather spend his time with Melkor and the other leading GUAE members, thinking his position is too important to spend too much time with the three. Joker, Terumi and Junko are currently thinking of a way to spend more time with Damien.
  • Damien is HATED by numerous deities, and its a benchmark in its own right. With the exception of those who are evil, every child stays their distance from him, given the fact that he tried to kill any newborn boys when he approached the Day of Judgement, in addition to anyone basically dying if they got too close to him. The Nippon Ichi demons are disgusted by the fact that Damien would rape his victims solely for sadistic pleasure. The House of Family have banned him from even appearing a mile away from the entrance considering he had his adopted parents and siblings killed just to ensure he would carry out his destiny. Damien however takes this in stride, stating that he doesn't really care about his reputation so as long as the Pantheon is bought down to ruin and agony.
    • He does however find company under Rhoda Penmark as she too, is a sociopathic child hellbent on killing and spreading misery. Damien has since made her an honorary member of the Disciples of the Watch, thinking that Rhoda would be an effective example of subverting expectations of children being pure and innocent.
  • Melkor decided to simply send Damien to several houses in an attempt to amuse himself. The amount of people who got close to being killed was staggering, and per usual, Damien was able to get away with it. Melkor laughed so hard at the prospect of Damien causing such a havoc that he immediately named him one of his closest companions. Although he was unable to fill out a position of the Four Horsemen, Melkor settled for making Damien his personal messenger, the Prophet of the Grand United Alliance of Evil.
    • With his newfound position in the GUAE Mastermind, Damien is able to assert control over most of the GUAE, albeit with a lesser extent than Melkor could. Beastmen, Orcs, Apostles, most evil races would pay their respects to Damien given his unholy destiny. The Godhand are pleased of what Damien is capable of, and have even offered him a chance to become an Apostle. Damien declined, though he did respect their gesture.
  • Learning about numerous variations of Satan, Damien has made an effort to try uniting them against the Grand United Alliance of Good. He was able to make contact and become confidants with two versions of Satan. However, he was annoyed with the current situation Dis was in. Damien is since trying to formulate a plan with Melkor and the other two Satans to try freeing Dis from his eternal imprisonment. Problem is, they'd have to be going up against The Love that Moves the Stars for that matter. This isn't going to stop the four of them anytime soon though...
    • Regarding analogies to Satan, Diablo has been a big fan of what Damien is capable of, citing his spread of panic and chaos as incredible, even by other villain standards. A similar sentiment came from Molag Bal who feels that Damien is a prime example of ultimate evil and Mephisto who sees him as a worthy ally for his own uses.
  • Surprisingly, Damien has nothing but utter contempt for Angra Mainyu, thinking he is too frail and pathetic to consider himself a Satanic Archetype and really doesn't sit well with the idea that Angra Mainyu is destined to fail at every opportunity he rebels against Ahura Mazda, whom Damien also hates. He also dislikes Archaon the Everchosen for being a whiny brat regarding the Chaos Gods and finds it hilarious that all his efforts to destroy his world were all for naught as the Chaos Gods still benefited anyway. Archaon simply sees Damien as another enemy, given he is allies with the Chaos Gods at this point, with Archaon now allied to Darkseid out of spite and a chance of rebellion. However, a lot of deities have pointed out that Damien is trying to free someone who has already lost and and is working with someone who is destined to lose. These comments infuriate Damien to no end, given how he actually wants to defy this and ensure Melkor wins. He'll be making sure his hellhounds find and maul whatever idiot has tried to question his motives and logic.
  • He has two children, Delia and Alexander, the former a vessel for the Anti-Christ and the latter being Damien's true successor. Damien felt amused that despite his death, his legacy would carry on, although what happened to Delia and Alexander was never shown further. Now with his children as his heralds, Damien is doing his best to instill as much depravity and lack of morality as possible.
  • Was initially interested in Mandy for managing to get her version of the Grim Reaper under her heel, but found her to be nothing more but an insignifcant imitator of her. Mandy herself, felt Terror greater then anything else in her life when near him, proving his point.

  • When it comes to protecting the planet's environments for the betterment of both nature and mankind from ruination, there's always a bad bunch that stubbornly gets in the way of helping the environment. The Eco-Villains in particular are proud of it, always up to no good when it comes to the wildlife and well-being of the planet. Whether it's creating more pollution, threatening the destruction of precious biomes and lands, or other shady business deals, they are concerned with nothing but their own greed and ambitions, if they're not doing it all just because they can. Without anyone else to oppose their business, the Planeteers as guardians of the planet are always on the lookout for their schemes to minimize their damage to Gaia's world. Even with all the resources they have, the Eco-Villains find their fun stopped by these heroic adolescents, but then again, having the powerful Captain Planet on their side is a significant game-changer that keeps turning the tide against these dirty dealers. Regardless, these folks just can't bear to compromise their own gains for the sake of the environment, continuing their feud against nature itself.
  • The Eco-Villains saw the Pantheon as another new place to spread their polluting work into, with Looten Plunder among the first to try and make a mark on the Pantheon, but the Planeteers and Captain Planet himself had been there as well to ensure that no surge of pollution would go under their watch. With the House of Nature among other deities associated with the environment hot on their tail, the initial attempts to wreak havoc were stomped down upon. Inevitably, Looten Plunder went on to bring in the rest of the Eco-Villains with the purpose of getting payback against the Planeteers and spreading their ambitions across the Pantheon, even getting the likes of Zarm involved. With their reputation for blatant and malicious ecocide in their schemes, they easily defied themselves as the representatives of wicked nature-destroying polluters, threatening the environment with every maniacal plot they thought up and every physical plot of land they sought to take for themselves. With their polluting powers united, they intend to turn the Pantheon into their own playground for the sickening works of toxic, nature-wrecking pollution.
  • Amid the Eco-Villains' attempts to gather together for the sake of properly opposing the Planeteers, they noticed one major and bothersome exclusion. One of the major Eco-Villains, Sly Sludge, and the representation of environmental harm caused by ignorance, negligence, and wastefulness (in many senses of the word), was nowhere to be found when the Eco-Villains made their way into the Pantheon. Unlike the other Eco-Villains, Sly Sludge, while causing problems with his sludge-filled waste disposal businesses, was lacking in malice, and mainly polluted due to being short-sighted and lazy in his methods of waste disposal. As such, his opposition to the Planeteers was all out of ignorance and not bothering with finding better solutions. This all came to a head when the Planeteers ended up educating Sly Sludge on better ways to make money through legit and eco-friendly business, and once Sly Sludge was enlightened on recycling and more ethical forms of waste disposal, the man was an Eco-Villain no longer. Like slime and smog, his new direction towards an eco-friendly future stuck, and the Eco-Villains were sorely disappointed that Sly was no longer willing to collaborate with them. Considering that he was once the wielder of the ring of Smog, this complicated some of their means of facing off against the Planeteers, but they did eventually figure things out despite losing a valuable member.
  • The Eco-Villains plotted to use the Rings of Destruction for the purpose of unleashing Captain Pollution onto the Pantheon, but with Sly Sludge no longer being on their side, they decided to collaborate with similarly despicable villains who were both capable of using such rings for themselves and with enough distaste and antipathy for the environment to have the power of the combined rings manifest into Captain Pollution. After much deliberating and negotiating with suitable candidates for the Rings of Destruction, the Eco-Villains decided to introduce Captain Pollution through a plot to wreck and devastate the House of Nature, beginning their plans already. All at once, the Eco-Villains were causing trouble with their usual schemes at other locations in the Pantheon, which split up the Planeteers as they tried to handle all of them simultaneously. While the Planeteers managed to take each one down with some help from their allies, Gaia felt dread as a group of villains approached the Hall of Nature Preservers, and as the Eco-Villains' initial set-ups were taken down, they all announced the start of their actual advances against nature, and the domains within the House of Nature echoed with the phrase: "Let our polluting powers combine!"
    Derek Powers: Super radiation!
    Dr. Fetus (via a computerized voice on his machine): Deforestation!
    Hexxus: Smmmmog!
    Mr. Burns: Toxics!
    Dr. Weil: HATE!
    Captain Pollution: By your polluting powers combined, I am... Captain Pollution!
    • Despite being far away from the action, the Planeteers were able to hear "GO POLLUTION!" and realized too late that Captain Pollution had risen once again, and with the affinity of the new wielders of the Rings of Destruction, more powerful than ever, first demonstrating such by overwhelming the Hall of Nature Preservers with his powers, and also absorbing the pollution created by the machines the villains had prepared in wait to grow even stronger. As Captain Pollution began to wreak havoc within the House of Nature, the Planeeters managed to get together and summon Captain Planet, but even Captain Planet would find himself in an uphill battle against the empowered Captain Pollution. It took not only the Mediators of Nature working together to hold back against Captain Pollution, but various other gods of nature and the recovering deities from the Hall of Nature Preservers to get in and also deal with the new wielders of the Rings of Destruction, also joining in, attempting to destroy the Planeteers themselves. But as environment-protecting deities and other deities of the House of Nature united, Captain Pollution would eventually be taken down by Captain Planet gaining an equal footing through the unity of the deities protecting the House of Nature, and eventually vanquished Captain Pollution, though it wouldn't be the last time Captain Pollution would manifest in the Pantheon. Zarm, watching the spectacle from afar, was surprised to find himself legitimately impressed by Captain Pollution and the alternative wielders of the Rings of Destruction, snarking that the Eco-Villains themselves had a lot to learn from them. As for said wielders themselves, while they were disappointed in their defeat, they found the potential of the Rings of Destruction as worth the hassle, and freely keep them for their own advantage.
    • For wielding the Deforestation Ring, Dr. Fetus was chosen due to his destructive and bloody rampages through the ecosystems, cutting down not only swathes of trees but also unfortunate animals in his way. With all of his factories and industries, Dr. Fetus found the deforestation abilities of the ring as suitable for him, using it to continue his hobbies of cutting down forests and building new death traps for Meat Boy. While Looten Plunder had other ideas for representatives of Deforestation, he had to admit that Dr. Fetus was dedicated to his work and in harvesting the fruits of the lands to his liking.
    • Duke Nukem ended up giving the Super Radiation Ring to Derek Powers, who had many practical reasons to take the ring, not only to both enhance his powers, but to also have control over his radiation powers when he doesn't want to burn off his artificial skin with his own abilities. Blight also thinks that the ring is frankly wasted on the dumb Nuclear Mutant that is Duke Nukem, and thinks that the ring is better off in his hands. That said, Duke Nukem does relate to Blight given that they're both stuck with their status as radioactive people, and finds his work and his capability of destruction as impressive enough that he doesn't mind letting Blight use the ring to his liking.
    • The Ring of Toxics ended up going to Mr. Burns, being well liked due to his ruthless and eco-unfriendly corporation, and his success as a Corrupt Corporate Executive, getting along well with all of them. Though he owns a nuclear power plant of his own, he found the appeal of the Toxics Ring as more appealing to his interest of finding new ways to torture employees who fail him, and on occasion Homer Simpson. He also found Verminous Skumm's drugs and other chemical creations to be amusing and even fun, also finding Verminous Skumm's rat army to be pretty cool. While Skumm doesn't like humans all that much, somehow he feels that with all the malice and inhumanity within Mr. Burns, that the executive may not quite be human, and has mutual approval of Mr. Burns' evil plots. That said, to this day, Mr. Burns thinks that Skumm is eternally wearing a very convincing rat costume.
    • The vacant Smog Ring couldn't have gone to a more fitting villain, with Hexxus, a Spirit of Destruction who loves pollution, directly vouching for himself as the only worthy wielder of the ring. Finding the Eco-Villains' work to be delightful, Hexxus easily made allies out of all the Eco-Villains, and Hexxus ensuring them that with the Smog Ring in his hands, worrying about Sly Sludge's departure would be a thing of the past. Once Hexxus proved to be capable of actually being able to wield the ring despite being made of smoke, oil, sludge, and other forms of pollution, the Eco-Villains were satisfied to have such a powerful spirit of pollution on their side. Being the god of pollution in the Pantheon, Hexxus out of all the substitute wielders works directly with the Eco-Villains the most in their efforts to turn the Pantheon into a Polluted Wasteland.
    • It took a long time for Dr. Blight to choose a potential wielder of the Hate Ring, wanting someone who passionately hated the planet and nature as much as she. Not even Dr. Fetus was considered worthy of it in her opinion, and Dr. Blight was very picky for choosing a representative of Hate. While looking over members of the GUAD, the other Eco-Villains were discussing another villain they were afraid of: Dr. Weil. They had discussed how vicious he would be to work with, and while they liked how he turned much of the world into a wasteland, his reputation as a horrible tyrant who brought cruelty to machines and humans alike, wiping the majority of both groups out, with a wicked hatred for just about all of life itself. For Dr. Blight though, all of this dreadful talk on Dr. Weil sounded lovely to her. Once she learned that he was a truly brilliant and vile scientist whose hatred could match or even surpass her hatred, Blight promptly decided that Weil was worthy of the Hate Ring. Given that most of her comrades were too afraid to do so, she personally visited Dr. Weil herself, to work out an alliance between Weil and herself in the means of ravaging the world and the Pantheon with their science, finding Weil's work to be delightful to her eyes, and while Dr. Weil would normally deem himself as above the likes of the Eco-Villains, he found Dr. Blight's willingness to set aside not just nature but humanity and life itself in the pursuit of her ambitions, Weil decided she would be a worthy ally in particular, taking the Hate Ring for himself. That said, Weil is frankly weirded out by her flirtations with her computer assistant MAL.
  • Commerce-wise, people like Looten Plunder who normally have a decent foothold in their world's industries are struggling in the Pantheon's House of Commerce due to a lack of reputation as a result of their blatant disdain for nature. That said, there are some unscrupulous businesses who don't really mind how eco-unfriendly they are, usually due to being just as worse themselves. The Glukkons, who have already turned most of their world into a bleak realm of pollution and decay as a result of their industrialization, find the Eco-Villains to be decent partners to work with, and even let them hire Sligs to work for them. Of course, Abe the Mudokon frankly wasn't happy at the development, and sneaks into the Eco-Villains' place to torment them, usually by using mind control on one of them and creating chaos amongst themselves. He does have to stay away from Zarm though, given that as a spirit himself, he's immune to such control. And while Morris is also known for caring less about the welfare of nature, he doesn't want to publicly involve himself with the Eco-Villains for pragmatic reasons, and insists on Joja Corp being a rival business to them, though he definitely isn't much better than them. The same applies to Buy-N-Large, whose members are smart enough to avoid working with the Eco-Villains despite being no better than them. The Eco-Villains also hire the business-themed Cogs as robotic labor to work for them, since with the increased prevalence of environmental awareness, finding human laborers to employ is pretty difficult for them in the Pantheon otherwise.
  • When it comes to masters of ecocide that have been overall more successful at their work than the Eco-Villains, they unsurprisingly got along with certain incarnations of Robotnik, like his SatAM adaptation who successfully conquered most of his planet and even began turning people into robots, all while reducing nature to a mere sliver of its original beauty with all of his nasty pollluting factories. For his success at making it big, the Eco-Villains tend to respect Robotnik at his most vile and oppressive acts against nature, and of course, this also meant that the Eco-Villains themselves would be despised by Sonic and all of his allies, given that Sonic himself stands up for the oppressed animals who are victimized by Eggman and his machines, and sees the Eco-Villains as more wicked threats in need of a great humbling. Chairman Drek's work in looting and devastating entire planets for his own benefit, while faking the pretense of doing so for his own planet, impressed the Eco-Villains by the sheer scale of his work, and regularly cooperate with him, though this is also due to wanting to reap from the benefits of his operations out of pure selfishness.
  • The Eco-Villains have plenty of synergy with those who directly benefit from the spread of pollution, but none more so than Viktor Adler, a wicked scientist who became the leader of the Org demons, who thrive from not just pollution but negative emotions as well, and given the association of Hate when it comes to the Eco-Villains, Adler works alongside the Eco-Villains since their success always benefits him and his own ambitions. Of course, this only earned the ire of one of Adler's main enemies, Taylor Earhardt, and the other Power Rangers. Additionally, Hedorah, another monster made from pollution itself, always sees the industrialized factories of the Eco-Villains as food sources to grow off of. However, Hedorah isn't familiar to the idea of cooperation and always acts as a nuisance to the Eco-Villains, though otherwise they find Hedorah interesting and even root for it when it engages battle with the likes of Godzilla, with Duke Nukem anticipating the nuclear fallout from the battle to feed off of.
  • Unsurprisingly, the Eco-Villains are hated by pretty much anyone who makes themselves known as an Eco-Terrorist, especially Poison Ivy who has plenty of ideas on how to make them suffer as much as possible to make an example out of them. Pretty much any god with relations to the Nature Uprising, those who advocate for the prospering of nature, are sworn enemies of the Eco-Villains by default. The members of Gaea's Avengers in particular, being full of highly ambitious deities that are more than willing to eliminate any threat to the balance of nature without any mercy, always target the Eco-Villains when they're nearby. While other gods typically don't mind the Eco-Villains being attacked by such deities, since their usually Disproportionate Retribution is usually reasonable in this case, they do have to watch for collateral damage that results from these clashes. Another faction that the Nature Uprising butts heads with, the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, is surprisingly a complicated topic among the Eco-Villains. A good amount of them may like destroying nature, but they still want to exist themselves, and don't want to be part of the death statistics. That said, Verminous Skumm hopes that they go for humans first, and Dr. Blight actually finds them interesting to work with, and even considered having The Lich of all people have the Super Radiation Ring, though it was rejected by the majority.
  • Under the sea, their pollution is still just as harmful to underwater life as with the ecosystems on land, so deities would reside there oppose them by default and undersea rulers like Aquaman or King Triton will strike them down on sight. Additionally, the Octonauts have their work cut out for them when the Eco-Villains do their business on the open seas, usually leaving many animals in peril as a result of their pollutiion for them to rescue. Ika Musume, who also attempted to invade Earth to oppose humanity's pollution of the oceans, appropriately despises the Eco-Villains, but in a rare moment of brilliance, decided to bring someone else to deal with the Eco-Villains in person. Let's just say Looten Plunder and his allies, relaxing in a yacht while his cohorts were trying to poach some marine life were quickly dismayed when faced with a giant, mutant, and extremely furious octopus, the mighty Octogeddon unleashing his wrath upon them for their offenses upon sea-life (but mainly towards octopi, his main Berserk Button), wrecking their constructs and leaving them at the mercy of the other sea creatures with their own bones to pick with the polluters.
  • For Hoggish Greedly:
    • Hoggish Greedly is a suitable name for an Eco-Villain who is not only pig-like in appearance, but also has the greed to match with his love of excessive consumption and using his money to get into pollution-creating industries with little regard for the damage he causes in the process with his technologies and gadgets. He may not sweat like a pig (that is, he actually sweats a lot, especially when Captain Planet has him on the ropes), but he certainly eats like one, which leaves little speculation on his great girth. He tends to have beef with Wario due to not only having similar greed and gluttony to him, but also owning a corporation of his own, which not only has more success than Greedly's activities, but without much of the pollution that Greedly is known for. He also gets compared to the similarly greedy Piglins that are obsessed with gold. He thought that he could go to work on the Nether and make them learn to respect him, but their violent retaliations ended up scaring him off.
    • He also has a grandfather, Don Porkaloin, who used to be a similarly unscrupulous businessman, but eventually became an environmentalist sometime after being stopped by his era's Planeteers. More interestingly, his own son, Hoggish Greedly Junior, also became an honorary Planeteer to his decision to turn to an eco-friendly lifestyle after getting involved in one of his father's plots that almost killed Junior due to choking from the air pollution, leading to Greedly begging the Planeteers to eliminate the pollution to save his son. As nasty as Greedly can be, he still loves his son, though not enough to turn him away from his own eco-unfriendly work. That said, he still made Junior a Herald, even if he sides with the Planeteers, which has led to the other Eco-Villains keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't follow Sly Sludge's path.
  • For Looten Plunder:
    • Looten Plunder represents the worst of those who prioritize economic and materialistic gains over morals and the environment, and his destructive harvesting of the environment speaks for itself in how callous he can be. Due to representing some of the uglier sides of capitalism, he naturally invites resentment from those who don't attach themselves to materialist desires and even more from those who are connected with nature. Businessmen that seek to uphold a moral standard and a good image like Scrooge McDuck are opposed to the example that Looten Plunder represents, and Plunder naturally gets along with more ruthless and corrupt businessmen like Mr. Burns and Flintheart Glomgold. He also is a staunch believer in using both his money and connections to get away with immoral deeds and broken laws, but despite Seto Kaiba holding that trope himself, he doesn't want any association with the Eco-Villains and considers Looten Plunder and the other Eco-Villains as rivals.
    • The Eco-Villains are banned from the House of Beasts and Fauna by default due to many of them being a danger to wildlife, but especially Looten Plunder due to going as far as to try to poach such animals if left unchecked. It doesn't stop him from continuing to be involved in the trades regarding endangered animals and their parts, and sometimes sending poachers to do the dirty work. When they really want things done, they're either contracting the dirty work to the Glukkons' Slig forces or Pokemon Hunter J to get what they want. One of the Eco-Villains' clients happens to be Cruella De Vil, who enjoys making fashion out of animal pelts and parts, and appreciates that some of the Eco-Villains like Plunder and Dr. Blight have similar tastes in both fashion and disdain for animals. There have been notable cases of animals outside the House of Beasts and Fauna who have been opposed to the Eco-Villains' work and put in the work to sabotage their operations. The Tanukis as well as the Hedgies who care about the natural environments obviously had no nice sentiments for any of the Eco-Villains, especially given their open malice, and do what they can to hinder their work as much as possible. Plunder also receives enmity from the Folktails and Iron Teeth who may be cutting down forests to support themselves, but fail to understand why Looten Plunder does so to a reckless and selfish degree.
    • Due to Looten Plunder's association with deforestation, he's seen as highly detestable by just about anyone who either loves or lives in said forests by default. Totoro, a forest spirit, and Treebeard, a living tree himself, are among many who oppose Looten Plunder's mass logging and harvesting activities, as is pretty much anyone in the Hall of Trees and Flowers. When he sought out other potential representatives of deforestation before Dr. Fetus, he sought out Lady Eboshi due to learning of her leading Iron Town to clear out a forest to access the iron under it, which instigated a great fight between her and the spirits and nature, as well as San, a human raised by the creatures there. Unfortunately for him, Eboshi was just as hostile to him as San was, the former telling Plunder that he was not welcome in Iron Town and wanted no association with him. His next choice was the Once-ler, given that one of his enemies, the Lorax, who opposes all the Eco-Villains, but especially Looten Plunder, for being essentially a worse and more malicious counterpart of the Once-ler, who at least eventually learned the weight of his actions, even if it came after he cut down the entire Truffula forests for his Thneed production. Looten Plunder saw the Once-ler as a potential business partner only to find out that he too had permanently cast down his former frivolous lifestyle and denounced Plunder as a soul lost to senseless materialism, and all the latter had to say in response was that he could stay in his current miserable standing.
  • For Duke Nukem:
    • Not to be confused with the unascended Duke Nukem, this Duke Nukem is a radioactive mutant freak who got into an accident during an experiment involving nuclear power, and likes to absorb nuclear radiation to empower himself, and also feed his unusual hunger of radiation. Good news for him is that there are plenty of sources to obtain said nuclear waste or nuclear power, usually by visiting the Hall of Toxicity, or from visiting Mr. Burns' factories. The sites of battles between radiation-using deities and monsters like Godzilla or Blight are also a popular visit for Duke Nukem. Nukem is also one of the few super-powered members among the Eco-Villains, excluding Zarm who is more of an actual deity, so on top of being a Walking Wasteland, Duke Nukem is one of the more dangerous members to deal with. To add on that, Duke Nukem's presence in the Pantheon has given him the opportunity to work with more interesting radioactive materials, like Rad Plorts, Tiberium or even Kryptonite!
    • One of Duke Nukem's biggest and most personal adversaries is Toxie, another mutant man that came from radioactive waste, but became a hero who used his powers to help the forces of good, even if he was feared for his gruesome looks. As a more selfish nuclear mutant, Toxie and Nukem regularly fight given that Nukem likes to hang out in the same Hall that Toxie is located in. However, Duke Nukem usually underestimates Toxie's cleverness and finds himself outwitted and kicked out by Toxie, which is surprising given that Duke Nukem used to be a scientist who studied nuclear power. Duke Nukem also clashes with Terry McGinnis, the Batman of a future-era Gotham, given that Nukem works directly with Derek Powers. Terry in fact considers Duke Nukem to be a stronger if more reckless version of Blight, and deals with him whenever he's trying to cause trouble where many people would get exposed to the radiation he emits.
  • For Verminous Skumm:
    • Verminous Skumm is one of the more inhumane members of the Eco-Villains, both figuratively and literally, as a dastardly and malicious rat-man who aspires to have himself and his loyal rat-people cohorts overthrow humanity as the dominant species. Wanting to do so through scheming and under-handed methods, his plans not only pollute the world but sicken and afflict humans themselves in various ways to orchestrate their downfall. Associated with Toxics, he's known for his deadly chemicals and bioweaponry to inflict harm and disaster through sicknesses and similar conditions. He's even tried to turn humans into more rat-people like him, inciting questions on how this rat-man came to be, though all we know is that he came from a toxic environment full of wastes. Though in this regard, it's made him a rival of Mesogog who wants to turn humans into dinosaurs instead. And sometimes he likes to incite conflict among humans themselves, seeking to inspire the worst in humanity so they will destroy themselves, or at least make them more suspectible to Skumm's plots.
    • As one of the more despicable examples of rat-people in the Pantheon, he's opposed by all the Good-aligned mice and rat deities in the Pantheon and despised for representing the many bad and sinister stereotypes of rats. Master Splinter, also known as Hamato Yoshi, is also a rat-person who used to be human until getting in contact with mutagen chemicals, in some stories at least. However, Splinter is an honorable ninja and detests Verminous Skumm and his depraved schemes. Though Splinter on his own is enough of a threat to Verminous Skumm, he's also opposed by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who are trained by Splinter. When the Planeteers aren't around, the Ninja Turtles are usually there to seek him out and thwart his plots, and tend to call Skumm "a freakier Rat King". He actually works alongside Ratigan given that they're both vicious and ruthless in their schemes, though Ratigan doesn't speak of it since it usually leads to people calling him a rat. When Skumm heard about the Skaven, he was eager to have them as allies to aid in his schemes against humanity, particularly Deathmaster Snikch in particular given his reputation and deadliness, though given how the Skaven aren't known for teamwork or cooperation, Skumm will have to find ways to convince such Skaven to see him as an ally.
    • Of all of Verminous Skumm's concoctions, he's most infamous for creating and distributing drugs among people with a very clear end-goal of ruining their lives in the long run. In fact, one of his drugs, Bliss, was an addictive but toxic drug that had to be stopped before its distribution could spread greatly, and it in fact led to the death of Planeteer Linka's cousin, Boris, through an overdose. While other drug cartels and vendors like Walter White and Gustav Fring prefer not to deal with Verminous Skumm, the rat man will always try to sneak in his drugs into unsuspecting communities to sabotage them from within. On one unlucky day, he happened to try and distribute Bliss deep within Bucciarati territory. When Skumm attempted to flee and call for reinforcements after suspecting that he was being followed, he found the corpse of one of the rat-men meant to be back-up, and soon enough found himself surrounded by the members of the Bucciarati gang. Not only did the leader of the gang, Bruno Bucciarati, as well as Giorno Giovanna, find Skumm's drug-distributing activities to be beyond forgiving, the gang decided that not even the Torture Dance was a worthy punishment for what they considered as a monster beyond humanity. Skumm did end up returning to the other villains when they were "done" with him, but not in a way that the other villains expected, who were awaiting a set of Zebstrika-pelt suits at the time when a package was delivered to their doorstep, and were disgusted at the mushy remains of Skumm inside, almost beyond recognition.
    Duke Nukem: Uhh... anyone up for some ratburgers?
    The other Eco-Villains: *groan* NO.
  • For Dr. Blight:
    • As a vile representative of unchecked, amoral pursuit of science, Dr. Blight has been eager to establish connections with similarly immoral scientists that are willing to set aside morals and concerns about the livelihoods of their peers, like Professor Hojo as well as Dr. Neo Cortex, the latter of which had also tried to experiment on animals for the sake of world domination, which impressed Dr. Blight. She also found Porky Minch and his feats interesting, not just his technology, but his animal experiments regarding the Chimeras, and even his work with Giygas, not intimidated by the horrific potential of Giygas. Given her cruelty and experimentation with animals, this got Dr. Blight receiving opposition from Crash Bandicoot, who was an experimented bandicoot who ended up becoming a hero who loved throwing wrenches and wumpa fruits in the scientists' plans. Lilo and Stitch, while not liking any of the Eco-Villains in general, despise Dr. Blight in particular, given that Stitch himself was an experiment meant for destructive purposes. Also, she's known for her unusual relationship with M.A.L., an Artificial Intelligence she made and also flirts with. Apparently she's been heard dreaming about Data of the Enterprise crew of all people as well, which happen to be a great lesson to Data about the emotion of being creeped out.
    • While a rather vain scientist who is proud of having a reputation as a beauty, her appearance is tainted by a mark that represents the rancorous and ugly sides of her soul. Hidden beneath her bangs is a horrific burn scar that she received in the past, presumably from one of her own wicked experiments. The topic is highly sensitive since she prides herself on her own beauty and vanity and would get rid of that blasted scar if given the opportunity to, even if means harvesting an endangered animal to do it. Dr. Blight isn't sympathized by those who had similar scars under more tragic circumstances, however. The Phantom of the Opera as well as Two-Face would rather not associate with Dr. Blight, with the latter in a sense "proud" of his scar as a man of questionable sanity would. Zuko, who received a very similar burn scar from his father, Ozai, sees Barbara as no better than his own father, and Shoto Todoroki also cares literally about Dr. Blight's angst regarding her scar, seeing the scientist as someone despicable like with Dr. Kyudai Garaki, the wicked scientist within his society's League of Villains.
    • Dr. Blight happens to be already familiar with K.O. and his friends, given that Dr. Blight has visited Lakewood Plaza Turbo before. On that occasion, she worked directly with fellow evil scientist Lord Boxman to pollute the place, only for even him to question Dr. Blight's intentions on polluting the Earth to its logical extreme, since it would kill them too as they live on the very planet they're polluting. Dr. Blight frankly had nothing to care about Boxman's concerns let alone the planet's life and environments, though Boxman still ended up going along with it due to wanting to impress her. While Dr. Blight was eventually defeated by Captain Planet, she still did much damage, and furthermore, in K.O.'s timeline, the Planeteers ended up splitting with only Kwame staying with the others growing up and bitterly leaving to get actual jobs. While the Planeteers in the Pantheon are insistent on averting this timeline, K.O. is very adamant on not letting Dr. Blight or her allies pollute to their liking. Additionally, Professor Venomous, who happens to also be a supervillain and a scientist, may be of opposing morals to K.O., but still happens to hate Dr. Blight just as much, perhaps given his current marriage to Lord Boxman.
  • For Zarm:
    • A former Spirit of Earth similar to Gaia in the show, he's not only the most powerful of the Eco-Villains with only Captain Pollution as a potential contender, but the worst of a very bad lot given that he is responsible for the destruction of other formerly populated planets in his setting. Always out to create conflict and terrible war for his own sick twisted entertainment, he proved himself to be a frightening equivalent to Gaia, not only leading the other Eco-Villains when he was active, but trying to turn humans against each other, even the Planeteers. While technically a spirit of nature like Gaia, he finds the likes of war gods to be more comparable to him, being more representative of the crueler and violent side of nature where Gaia was the more compassionate and lively side of it, and prides himself as a Spirit of War and Destruction instead of Nature. Given his infamy for causing people to destroy their own world through war, he's a rival of Ares, a war god himself. He also found the Hades of Kid Icarus to be a swell fellow, who also wanted to incite war among humans to harvest all of their souls for his own interest, and finds Hades' actions and motives to be interesting enough to ally with the wicked lord of the Underworld.
    • While Zarm is practically divine on his own, he prefers to use his powers to play humans along to his will and manipulate them to enact their worst impulses, instead of directly destroying the world himself. Zarm has even almost managed to successfully corrupt the Planeteers into starting a third World War, only failing to corrupt Ma-Ti, the owner of the Heart Ring. Zarm likes to practice his skills, which include shapeshifting and social manipulation, on the suggestible Thraddash who regularly bombard their civilization back to square one and only recover enough to do it again. As for why he likes to bring out the crueler side of men, Zarm loathes the compassion and virtue of humanity, seeing the ruthlessness and violence of humanity as more appealing, and finds the mutant Apocalypse to be an example of what he likes. He also finds Davros to be very intriguing as the logical extreme of Zarm's philosophy, encouraging xenophobia and genocide and creating the Daleks to enact a campaign of destruction on all other forms of life and existence. Molag Bal, a Daedric Prince also infamous for corrupting others into villainy, is respected by Zarm but Molag Bal doesn't share the favor given his former ties with nature, even if he also likes his penchant of tempting people into villainy through his Iron Fists.
      • Zarm had found Atreus training in a forest, with Zarm mistaking the deity to be some random "nature boy" who was probably a worshipper of some other nature god like Artemis or Gaia. Deciding that he would start with instigating more violent conflict by using the boy as an Unwitting Pawn, he shapeshifted into Gaia and appeared before the man under the guise of wanting to bring gifts to him under the pretext of a little quest. Despite being unaware of Zarm's forms of treachery and deception or his Iron Fists, he remained cautious and laid on many questions to this Gaia, eventually asking how she was aware of his father's tie to the Greek gods. The confused "Gaia" growing frustrated, asked further on said father until he heard a quiet but gruff voice nearby, from a large pale man covered in red marks. Having not met Kratos before, Zarm attempted to deceive him with a stern warning before Kratos noted that she was nothing like the Gaia he was familiar with, and swiftly punched Zarm down to the ground, causing Zarm to lose his disguise. Instead of escalating the action immediately, Kratos slowly walked towards him, talking about how Zarm and his reputation reminded him greatly of the Ares of his world, and gave some light hints on what Kratos did to said Ares. Realizing that he was dealing with not just an equal but someone more than capable of ending him, Zarm quickly turned tail and fled. When the other Eco-Villains heard about it, they responded as any fellow Eco-Villain would: laughing at Zarm's misfortune.
    • Apparently, he's been pulling the strings of almost every human tyrant in history, and the Planeteers have been aware of Morgar, a dictator who did come to power due to Zarm's manipulation. He did state that there was one recent tyrant who actually rejected Zarm's assistance, but the dictator had been successful enough in causing destruction and war to the point of impressing Zarm regardless. While he's never said it outright, other deities believe that the outstanding dictator who impressed Zarm without his help was none other than the man who instigated World War II himself. Of course, some have noted that he's been eyeing HYDRA and similar fascist groups with interest, and is especially pleased by the achievements of Red Skull for continuing the Nazis' legacy and continuing to have violence and cruelty threaten the world, as well as Wilhelm Strasse for securing world domination under fascism where the Fuhrer failed, even managing to expand to other parts of the Solar System, and hopes they both take war and destruction to the next level in the Pantheon. That said, Zarm hasn't dealt with them personally, due to believing they don't need his help either. It's made others wonder who else Zarm has or will eventually try to bring to power. That said, Zarm is already content with the number of warmongering tyrants and despots in the Pantheon, and is willing to let them do their thing, while seeking to bring about destructive and violent conflict elsewhere.
