  • The Boss is perhaps the greatest unsung hero in American history yet her story has been sealed away due to various aspects around it exposing major risks to national security. Born to one of the founders of the Philosophers, the Boss would eventually be renowned for her achievements in World War II where her infamy lied in the creation of the Cobra Unit—a Multinational Team consisting of various persons with odd powers. Her unit would help signal the war's end by Storming the Beaches of Normandy and would be disbanded soon afterward. Christened as the Mother of the Special Forces, she remained quite infamous and very respected even by those who are listed as enemies to America at the time. Eventually, she raised and trained a young man named Jack who would one day become the infamous Big Boss—only to leave her student afterward to participate in American projects for the Cold War. The CIA and military repeatedly disrespected and sabotaged her missions at the time as they think of her as a relic of the past, having the Boss take the fall for various failed operations that would have gone smoothly if she was not obstructed by them. However, no matter how much badgering she received the Boss did not complain in the slightest. The Boss was even the first human to reach space as well though was never acknowledged for it due to her failed crashing. In space, the Boss found the resolve to have the world united in peace.
    • The mistreatment of the Boss continued after her recovers with the Philosophers threatening to kill her child that they kidnapped unless she killed her baby's father. She accomplished the mission easily. The Boss managed to get into contact with an old friend, Zero and helped found the FOX unit. It would be then that she would embark on the Virtuous Mission, her final operation that would reunite her with her old student. For the American government, she would pretend to defect to a Colonel Volgin's splinter group to find the Philosopher's Legacy, a slush fund made by the Philosophers that is worth billions which the branches are fighting for. Volgin however, muddied the mission's outcome severely by activating a nuclear weapon in Russia For the Evulz—making America pretend that she truly did defect from them and tasked Naked Snake to eliminate her. After all of Cobra Unit members, she united for one last mission died off one by one as well as Volgin's forces falling to Snake's might—the Boss awaited her student for one final lesson. Perhaps she could have defeated him easily considering her expertise far outweighed his but she was defeated as well. With one last request, the Boss asked her student to take her life as there could only be one Boss and one Snake. Finally, the Boss died—her reputation was deliberately destroyed to save America from embarrassment, and the resulting disgust from those who truly respected the Boss formed the Patriots with the belief that her dream of peace cannot come true unless they force the world to. However, Big Boss would leave the Patriots after conflicting with Zero over what the dream of the Boss truly was and made his own mercenary company as a result. That pursuit for her dream would be the catalyst for the next conflicts the world faces decades later...
    • Due to it being years since the Cold War, World War II, and the Patriots being destroyed—the world got to learn of the horrible things that went through the Boss and how the United States treated her like a tool once all of that stuff was declassified. There were immediate demands for the woman to be ascended to the Pantheon from every culture, to which the Court of the Gods could not refuse. The Boss eventually showed up to much applause but she ignored it all. All that the Boss asked was what were her next assignment orders with a dead serious face that scared the crap out of everybody. All the US presidents in the Pantheon (especially Kennedy who the CIA had the Boss blamed for the Bay of Pigs to not embarrass his term) were just about to give a long formal apology and even they were speechless by how determined the Boss was in protecting America. That moment drove so many to tears and the first order that the Boss received was, "take a goddamn break." The presidents had to tell the Boss this was for the benefit of America (they still feel bad for still using her to save face) so she relented. The first person who greeted her in the Pantheon was Revolver Ocelot who managed to grey himself out since the last time she saw him. It was then Ocelot revealed that he was her son, with him expecting the Boss to be floored by the revelation. The Boss though just starkly asked if he embraced the American identity yet. Ocelot was bewildered needless to say and just replied that he worked as a FOXHOUND member for a long while now. The Boss then said to Ocelot that perhaps they could bond later but for now, she needed to take a break and needed to distance herself from military organization members for a bit. They could eat over burgers and milkshakes but that is as much bonding as they could do, she was afraid. As much of a Magnificent Bastard he was, Ocelot could not tell if his mother wanted to make a genuine effort to bond while her professionalism is getting in the way or trying to ditch him.
  • Looking at what her dream did to the world, the Boss was more or less unimpressed by what they had done. Shockingly, she is not opposed to the goals the Patriots wished to entail. The Boss could see even then in The '60s that information and communication will become more widespread as technology advanced, which culminated with The Internet being born. With humans having inherent tribality much like nations, it would be no secret that sides are going to be formed in which sentiment against others ideologies may worsen with every passing year. Considering that America prides itself on democracy, then there every ideology more or less justifies its existence under free speech laws no matter how extreme or hypocritical they are. The Boss does not care if American went from one political spectrum to another nor does not care if the government starts manipulating its citizens with a false sense of free will. However, the Patriots are not being enforced out of the will of the American government, they are formed by a group of reformists using the money that the United States plucked from the Soviet Union's hands. So even if the intentions are noble in hindsight and there is nobody who the United States would have used the Patriots wisely, she cannot approve of its existence as it subverts America's will. The Boss made way to see Zero who helped found them and even he agreed that they should be stopped, just because they were all malfunctioning and enforcing themselves as brutally as it could.
    Zero: Wait, are you saying that you don't care that the Patriots are harming innocent people?
    Boss: I only care if it is America that is behind such things—not an outdated AI that only seeks to serve what it is programmed to do. If America should make mistakes then those mistakes should be made by America, even if they do not own up to them.
  • Finally, the Boss went to face her old student within Big Boss. She surmised it is a rather tacky name though it fitted her student well. It was then Big Boss rushed at Boss with CQC but she disarmed him almost immediately. Considering that Big Boss was one of the few who mastered the martial art, it speaks volumes on either how efficient the Boss is... or how unwilling that her graduated student is to fight her again. Instead of dwelling on the tragic ending of Operation Snake Eater, the Boss only asked what the hell happened to the world after her death. As professionally as he could, Big Boss explained all the events with the Patriots, Cipher, Outer Heaven, FOXHOUND, and how it all ended thanks to surviving cloned son. Big Boss lamented to the Boss that it took him that long and to know her dream of peace was not having soldiers not under the thumbs of bureaucrats nor controlling the world for order—all that he assumes she wanted was everyone on the world settling their differences and uniting for a better future. It would seem like naïve wishful thinking though it is a powerful dream, either way, considering that all conflicts in the world are due to different ideologies attempting to supplant one another. The Boss told Big Boss that was a good guess, better than the last ones he made. Big Boss was left completely in shock over her response as he may have got her dream wrong the entire time. He then went on a furious rant to the Boss, basically screaming that he thought the Boss was a fucking fraud for letting the government get away with murdering her and that everything that the Patriots did was for her sake. Big Boss could not believe the implication he was still misreading the Boss even at death's door. The Boss could only turn to her furious ex-student and tell him that it does not matter what her will is now. The response that she gave to him managed to settle him down a bit upon understand her words and found that the Boss did not contradict his thoughts on her nor did her ideals changed.
    Boss: Jack, does it matter what I believe in? You are you, and I am me, and was making a world where soldiers not are tossed away was a dream you thought was mine, or was it yourself? All that matters now is the mission—the next mission that we will carry on our lives to see through. You have yours and I have mine, and whether we meet in the battlefield, I cannot say. What I could say, Jack is to live for yourself and not others.
  • Volgin would normally be surely pissed off upon hearing that the Boss is here as she was an undercover spy for the US government and was meant to search for the Philosopher's Legacy he gained. That said though, Volgin has pissed alright though it is more for being terrified that the Boss is here. Even Volgin who is Ax-Crazy enough to try to start a nuclear war with both the Soviet Union and the United States does not dare to cross the Boss unless he has to. The Man on Fire persona he takes on does nothing to alleviate that fear the Boss instills within him as he knows that no matter what he throws at her, she WILL find a way to completely obliterate him if he tries messing with the United States again. Volgin is not the only one who is afraid of what the Boss could do like all of America's enemies are wary of what she could do to them with only the truly foolish taking her lightly. Hence why the Boss was given a Greater Goddess-authority despite taking orders from any American government agency as her influence towards the country's military is that strong. Not to say that she agrees with such an "award for her efforts" but holds it highly either way.
  • Steven Armstrong is one of the few that the Boss truly loathes. Being a senator, it was expected that Armstrong would be self-serving in one way or another though trying to bring America to anarchy through war IS something she cannot abide by. Armstrong is essentially having his batshit insane Darwinist ideals imposed onto the populace unwillingly no matter how much he tries saying that it is what America wants all along. American patriots may be attached with the freedom and justice concepts (that the rest of the collective world loves mocking) though not to the extent that the majority want to fight to the death for luxuries. Only the strongest force in America would rule and would probably replace such a "fight or die" system as the Boss pointed out. Armstrong only told the Boss that she is a relic of the past and that even her skills and patriotism do not compare to the power of nuclear armaments and self-enhancing nanomachines. The Boss said that Armstrong is right and that her abilities now do not compare to what he can do... so she asked the topmost American scientists to implant her with nanomachines to be like Armstrong except these nanomachines would be superior to his in every way. The president had to beg the Boss that what she is doing is suicide but she cited that they will experiment with nanomachines to enhance physical and cognitive abilities one way or another. Perhaps using a "relic" like herself would showcase how efficient such technology is. When hearing such rumors on the Boss using nanomachines herself, one could see thatArmstrong was rather nervous about such a prospect.
  • Regarded very highly by WWII military members. Captain America himself even heard what the Boss was capable of and said that in terms of sheer skill set that she was the best of the best (of course, the Captain is superior physically but he does not count himself since enhanced genetics are "cheating"). Nobody dares to show any sexist attitude to her as everybody is silenced the moment the Boss enters the battlefield. Even Broforce who by all accounts is the most destructive and strongest American squadron looks up to what the Boss does. Despite all these praises, many of her superiors are understandably hesitant on sending her on missions and make it look like their exploiting her loyalty and skillset yet again. They extended her ordered vacation indefinitely but they secretly have her dream recruits and go on very secretive missions because she is just that valuable to them.
  • Surprisingly regards Funny Valentine well despite being blacklisted from the Pantheon-ascended American presidents. She says that regardless of Valentine's willingness to sacrifice other countries, he had the ambition of America being the greatest nation of all time. The Boss may not approve of the paved road but humanity (aka the American people) will not change the result even if they bemoan the method to reaching that result. Fortunately, the Saint's Corpse is back in America's possession and even she cannot access them. She may not be permitted to take orders from Valentine due to the being orders from the other presidents but she can truly say that Valentine was as American as one could get. Valentine also places the Boss highly for her loyalty to the country and informed her that those like Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli will use the Saint's Corpse for their ends (such as leg therapy or for another nation) and at least told the Boss that if another nation were to try and get it, then she must retrieve it back.
  • Due to being a woman in the military at a time where sexism was rampant, Jeanne d'Arc herself was impressed by how good the Boss is to the point that nobody cared that she was a woman. That said, the Boss regarded Jeanne well for being a patron saint of various military-related things though warned Jeanne on one thing. The Boss is perfectly okay in extending a hand of friendship to people from other countries (she did lead the Cobra Unit into battle after all) but if Jeanne went to war against what the Boss is sworn to protect over some divine voice in the sky, then the Boss will not hesitate at all when putting her down. No amount of friendship can have the Boss be standing ideal to those who would harm her country, as the Sorrow could attest to. Even Jeanne who had seen plenty of war knew how serious she was on committing to her patriotism.
  • Has decisively mixed feelings on the Enclave despite being not too dissimilar to the fascist Axis powers that she fought against. However, in her eyes, the Enclave embodies the determination of the United States and its attempts to reinstate itself no matter the cost. Most people are not willing to parley the Enclave for their genocidal tendencies, to which the Boss replies that ALL countries have committed genocide because they believe it was for the security of the state. Not to say it is justifiable but thinking America up on a moral pedestal then acting shocked over doing what they think is a necessary evil is incredibly naïve. All countries want to rule the planet and America is no different when it comes to adopting any ideology to remain in power. The Enclave embodies America's willpower and adaptation in a world of chaos, so how can she judge it if it was the will of her country? That said, her superiors have told her to be opposed to the Enclave as they do not embody America in the Pantheon—making her do just that. No hard feelings though which do not need to be said. That said though, the Boss is considered to be trustworthy enough to deploy Liberty Prime by them and "found" the access codes for it.
  • Captain America had surprisingly questioned how far the Boss was willing to go for her country. Even though Steve Rogers is and forever is a patriot, he draws the line when the American government becomes what he sees as too oppressive especially when it is to promote regulations on superpowered individuals who can easily be manipulated by the government for "security of the state" reasons. The Boss then asked Rogers was how much America changed since he was put to sleep, to put it mildly. She pointed out that America's methods and ideologies on what is just are always changing. When the atomic bombs hit Japan at the end of the war, many approved of such action since seeing the enemy be defeated was on everybody's minds but once years later came and America saw the two Communist nations as its enemy—the atomic bombings were then and now seen as a Moral Event Horizon that revealed weapons of mass destruction that could end the world at a moment's notice. Even at the Captain's time, there were numerous prejudices against minorities throughout the war and after the war—many minorities who were deemed security risks were heavily monitored in camps they were forcefully relocated to. Whatever he may believe in, Steve Rogers has idealism that very much is in opposition to cruel reality no matter what period he lives in. He still respects the Boss but simply cannot understand her point of view on the matter.
    Captain America: I was raised on the American dream of peace and justice. I can't just follow through with what the government says if it is against that...
    Boss: I'm sorry but there will always be a price for peace, even if it means paving it with the suffering of others. The Amendments have been rewritten numerous times throughout history and the American dream has also been rewritten. I cannot take that dream of yours but you cannot say that your ideals are what truly embodies our nation's beliefs for eternity.
  • Sofia Valmer knows more than anything about what it is like to have children be taken away. She feels nothing but sorrow for the Boss having her child be taken away from her and essentially being blackmailed to being loyal to her government (even though she was unwaveringly so already). Though the Boss appreciates the sympathy, it does not matter to her now. Her son has grown alive and well and she will remain loyal to the United States no matter how much abuse she takes from them. Valmer was disturbed over her disregard over it such a misdeed done against her but the Boss is the kind of person to look towards the future than the past. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up to different people.
  • Though has been long deceased when the fifth Smash tournament happened, her Spirit managed to be obtained by Galeem where she was fitted into a clone of Samus Aran (thanks to their similar visual appearances). Despite being only a Badass Normal in her lifetime, the Boss as a Spirit is infamous for kicking the butts of most people who faced her. She would grab them with the weaponry of Samus and decimate them with the finesse she has. Arguably, Galeem deemed her too powerful to let loose as he blockaded the Boss off from other fighters even though she could have made quick work with most of them. Samus herself respects the Boss highly for her professionalism and skills and was even impressed by how well the Boss used her weaponry. The Boss said it was an honor to use Samus as her vessel to fight once again but secretly, also took data on Samus and gave it to her superiors.
  • Frank Underwood deemed the Boss a great threat to his plans on dominating America as her popularity and loyalty to the other presidents made him unable to procure her on his side. The Boss does not have a high opinion on Underwood as he does have any principles on protecting the United States and only seeks to gain further power for himself. She is authorized to place Underwood on arrest on sight, resulting in Underwood having to take a low profile and put into hiding by the GUAE. Underwood may have many threats against his life in the Pantheon but had to beg the GUAE to make sure the Boss did not tie him up in his sleep to be hauled to a Kangaroo Court.
  • Smoker and Monkey D. Garp consider her an honorable soldier despite coming from different governments. If the Boss were to ever join the World Government then she has already reached Vice-Admiral at the minimum if not considered for an Admiral position. They believe that the Boss secretly is holding back or is unaware that she is using Haki as when during a sparring session against Smoker, she managed to grab him with CQC despite Smoker being able to just phase right out of her grip. The Boss does know what Haki is yet shown no interest in cultivating it in front of others.
  • Nick Fury and the Boss work closely together for the security of the American homeland. Most heroes would object to the more extreme measures that Fury takes but the Boss is not one of them and does it as efficiently as she could. Since SHIELD is an entirely separate military branch it is questioned how can she just be present in so many divisions (stealth, space, ground combat, air force, special, etcetera). The reason being that the Boss technically belongs to her own division (nicknamed the Boss division) that could do such things. Many members of the division are classified though a good indicator on who they are is their effectiveness in all sorts of mission and being seen working with all divisions together.
  • 2nd Battalion and many other World War II infantries (any prior war veterans as well) are obviously outdated when it comes to combat. Even when trained with new technology, they end up remaining with the surplus of World War weaponry they are accustomed to and are treated statistically as commodities or at worst, Cannon Fodder. That was until the Boss led the 2nd Battalion and many others in one battle and succeeded with little causalities. Many including the soldiers were shocked at the victory and asked how did the Boss do it. All that the Boss said that it did not matter if soldiers were using sticks and rocks to fight. A good strategy and tactics overcomes any battle and people ought to think of that when fighting.
  • She does not think highly of Arnold Berkman for having no loyalties to his nation. She once saw Berkman trying to hog away from a battle while his soldiers were valiantly fighting with but she caught him and called Berkman a coward for abandoning those who would die for their country. She gave him the ultimatum that if he did not do a retreat, then she would arrest him right there and send him back after having all secrets squealed out of him. Berkman took the more embarrassing but less lethal option.
  • "Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic. When life ends, it gives off a final lingering aroma. Light is but a farewell gift from the darkness to those on their way to die. I've been waiting, Snake, for a long time. Waiting for your birth, your growth, and the finality of today."

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