Fionna and Cake could also definitely do with a rework, though to be honest I'm not in the right mood for that yet

• They say Upbringing Makes the Hero, something Clark Kent firmly believes in. So what if that upbringing was changed? Say, that spaceship arrived 12 hours off and ended up in Soviet Ukraine? You get the Superman of Earth-30, better known as Red Son Superman. Fighting for Stalin, communism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact, he became a pupil of the Soviet Premier and grew up under the beliefs of the Soviet Union. When Stalin died, he would end up succeeding him as a Reluctant Ruler...well, for a time. As Premier of the Soviet Union he would end up becoming a dictator, almost taking the world. To many he was a Benevolent Dictator...but was the repressiveness really worth it? After all, why doesn't he just put the entire world in a bottle if it needs his protection? Realizing how much the cost of totalitarianism amounted to changed his mind...unfortunately Brainiac wasn't exactly into him giving up, and when defeated he planned to blow the whole solar system to kingdom come. Superman would prove himself a hero once more by sacrificing himself to stop this. However he secretly survived, choosing to be incognito and abandon any attempt to control mankind's destiny again.
• The ascension of the Red Son Superman was anticipated by his Earth 0 counterpart, the OG Superman. He was one of many alternate selves that has a place in the Supermen of the Multiverse formally organized during Final Crisis, helping defeat Ultraman and the Dark Monitor. Later on he worked to help out other Supermen when they were kidnapped. Having soured relationship with the Wonder Woman of his universe, and had been in conflict with the Green Lantern Marine Corps, he expected their prime counterparts would have some issue working with him. To his pleasant surprise most of the superheroes welcomed him in and embraced his desire to be The Atoner. However his prime counterpart told him not to doubt himself; he's better than he thinks he is and is welcome to be part of the JLA. Despite their acceptance, Batman is still somewhat distrustful due to his past actions, as for a time he was an evil Superman. As the Batman of Earth-30 is a violent anarchist, the Superman of that universe admits it's going to take time for the two to get along. To distinguish himself from his counterparts and to reinforce some humility in himself, he goes by his civilian name Somishka, given to him by the animated adaptation. He hopes to find out more about DC characters from the Prime Earth, and the superheroes and villains of other universes.
• He's very interested in Lois Lane and his prime self's adoptive parents, the latter because of the argument of Nature Versus Nurture. He's arguably a case of both; while his different upbringing made him employ more questionable methods, he had just as much a motive to do good as his prime self. He deeply respects the Kents for how well they raised his wholly good-aligned counterpart. He was raised on a farm himself, though Soviet Ukraine is quite different from Kansas. The Lois in his world was married to Lex Luthor, though she was no less of an ethical journalist on Earth 30 than Earth 0. Now Lex, that's a different story. While Earth-30 Luthor is just as conceited and arrogant as his prime counterpart, he's on the side of US government and a Nominal Hero (or Anti-Hero if you want to be generous) who would start a golden age after Superman's "death". Knowing this, Somishka can't help but feel disappointed in his prime counterpart for wasting so much effort against a version of himself that's a genuine hero. Lex naturally doesn't buy that the Earth-30 Superman has reformed and thinks he validates his beliefs to an extent, though he did like to learn about his variant and finds there's a funny sort of irony in how their lives turned out in that universe.
• The Superman of Earth-30 is naturally compared to the other Supermen in the Trope Pantheon. And not just them, but those who clearly parallel the Man of Steel. Mainly, it's the ones that "go off the beaten path", so to speak, that are of note to the Soviet superhero, though it's not just them. The most obvious comparison one can make with the Red Son Superman is his Regime counterpart. Both see Superman become a dictator for a perceived greater good, though the trigger is different; Regime Superman lost everything, and Red Son Superman was mentored by Joseph Stalin. However Regime Superman has stayed steadfast in his ideals, much to his Earth-0 and -30 counterparts' disappointment. That Superman thinks his communist doppelganger essentially gave up too soon, however he admires his virtues and accomplishments as dictator. Somiskha initially believed he would share the sentiment, but seeing the Regime Superman double down and refuse to accept what he's in the wrong is incredibly frustrating for Somishka. So in the end, they are enemies. But what about other Superman types? How does he feel about them?
  • Due to disavowing many of his old views but not exactly being trusted by the hero community Somishka doesn't have many friends. However he does have a very strong friendship with a Superman Substitute; Nolan Grayson, aka Omni-Man. Omni-Man grew up as a Viltrumite, Social Darwinist aliens who invaded planets to "help" them (basically the alien version of White Man's Burden), masquerading as The Cape to prepare Earth. But the love of his son, and to a lesser extent wife had him realize he cared. He'd eventually reform his ways and when he eventually became leader, he helped his people reform their ways. Omni-Man has gone through a similar arc to Somishka, so it's no wonder that they relate to one another. He's fond of his son Mark, as he is the one who let the spark of his father's compassion. As a formerly evil Superman, this puts him in an interesting spot with Superboy-Prime. Prime was a much more childish, dangerous villain, but following the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal he's finally turned over a new leaf and is trying to be a hero again. He knows the temptation though, and would like help from the more mature Red Son variant as a Superman who can understand more than most.
  • At best, he perceives the Plutonian as an especially powerful yet extremely violent maniac. One who has been given chances to reform and rejected them. Red Son Superman, for all his flaws, still held on to a sense of humility and genuine compassion for people, even if his vision of "saving the world" was ultimately the wrong one. The Plutonian's heroism was ultimately driven by ego rather than any genuine desire to help. Though his Regime counterpart disagrees with his decision to stop his Totalitarian Utilitarian path, they'll happily join up and teach the Plutonian a lesson. The Earth-30 Superman has is less disgusted and more disappointed, as is his prime counterpart, with the Homelander. Somishka is currently trying to live up to the virtues of his communist upbringing as part of his atoning, so he sees Vought-American and the Seven as emblematic of the negatives of capitalism, pointing out how they've enabled the emotionally unstable traits of their Supes. The obvious exception is Starlight, who he respects for being a genuine hero. He's come around to respecting Queen Maeve due to her more active heroism on the TV show.
  • Compared to his more intense relationships with other Supermen and their expies, his relationship with Metro Man is a lot more light-hearted. Metro Man felt he was defined by the role of Metro City's number one hero and had an understandable, albeit selfish desire to finish his rivalry with Megamind. Seeing how far Somishka went to do the right thing, he thinks taking a break and sorting out his priorities is a good thing. After everything, the Soviet's Man of Steel, decided yeah, he could kick back and relax at Metro Man's place...just as long as he doesn't sing. The guitar riffs are fine. Occasionally the Samaritan and the Sentry show up when they need to take a much-needed breather. Asa Martin is glad that Earth-30 Superman is reforming but isn't comfortable enough to form an alliance yet given his past. Somishka thinks this is fair, and he's noted that while interested in the Sentry he's not quite sure about him yet because of the Void's influence on him.
• He is slightly different in the animated version. While both versions try a non-lethal option, the animated version is willing to kill. However his main victim? Joseph Stalin. A tyrant historically seen as bad as the Fuhrer himself, with one of his atrocities being a genocidal starvation in Somishka's own land of Ukraine^note mind you that wasn't the tipping point, most see it as a Pay Evil unto Evil moment. That said, his solution for dissidents and criminals was debatable worse; neurological implants to make sure they'd be good and happy. After the "why don't you put the whole world in a bottle?!" line he considers this one of his biggest regrets. It's why, as much of a point they may have and as heroic as they can be, he's unable to get on board with the Indigo Tribe or the Phantom Thieves of Heart. He has no intention of entering the Hall of Mind Control outside of taking the fight to Yuri, who uses mind control devices except with no illusions that this isn't just a method of control. Yuri is flummoxed by how that speech got through to him, and thinks of Kal-L as a disappointment.
• The other difference in the animated version is his origins. There he's a Kryptonian, as you'd expect. But in the original comic, the world he's from is actually a very distant future Earth, sent back in hopes of changing things as the planet is about to succumb to the sun's red giant phase only to form part of a Stable Time Loop. Interestingly, this Superman the very distant descendant of Lex Luthor. Being a highly evolved human he is of interest to the Asteromorphs, who have long appreciated the heroism of the regular Superman in service of his adopted home. The Qu hold contempt for Kal-L and see his existence as similarly blasphemous. After learning what the Qu have done, the contempt is mutual. Regardless of where he was born, Somishka sees himself as a human and Soviet citizen first. He was interested in reaching out to Black Widow, a superheroine that used to be a Soviet spy, as he wanted someone to talk about his situation. Her teammate Captain America is a bit off-put as this Superman was Stalin's successor in more ways than one, but he's accepting to him wanting to live up to the mantle of Earth-0 Superman. The Earth-30 Superman respects Cap because he's a patriotic hero that always puts his morality and the virtues of the nation he loves first over any loyalty to its government. He wishes he had that kind of mindset.
• He's Ukrainian, not Russian, though even before becoming Soviet Premier he spent a good amount of time there paraded by Stalin. Wanting to do something light-hearted, he got out red sunlight lights so he could brawl with Soda Popinski in a fair fight, as some much needed fun for a man who'd definitely benefit from it. He trains with him to learn how to box better so he's not left behind in the Strong and Skilled department compared to his prime counterpart. "Rurik II" had been observing their brawl and says he wants to reach out to the Soviet Superman, saying while he doesn't agree with his past methods he does want to see him aspire to greatness. Nikolay used to be a Red Army soldier that went off the deep end but still managed to become The Good King, so Somishka respects him. Something he's noted is that the two of them live within Alternate History, which started to make him wonder...what other Supermen in the multiverse had a shake-up to their origins? How might they compare to him? He decided to go to the House of Time and Temporality and figure out the answer. It didn't take too long for him to find a rather similar counterpart to his Regime counterpart, that being Superman as one of the Justice Lords of Earth-50, who happened to use a similar mind control on dissidents...in his case, lobotomy via heat beam. Observing with him where The Animorphs, who mused that they once visited an alternate timeline where they never met Elfangor and got the morphing power, and might have a bit more experience with the multiverse.
  • He was disturbed to learn about Earth-10, where he also landed in 1938...in Czechoslovakia. The Nazis had a field day with his ship. Amazingly, his counterpart Overman was the only member of the New Reischman to carry a sense of guilt about it. He was involved in Nazi atrocities but deeply regrets it and is trying his best to make up for it. While he was too young to fight in WW2, Somishka hates Nazis by default, and the Soviets were easily the most heated rivals of the Nazis during the war. Still, the fact that even in that timeline he had some sense of good was something to note. It's a factor behind Ultraman being Somishka's least favorite counterpart, as he never held any potential for heroism. Earth-23 was a much needed palette cleanser; a universe where he was black and got into politics, becoming US President, and an effective one at that. Somishka thinks of Calvin Ellis as his good counterpart.
  • Some other timelines include him being raised by the Waynes and becoming Batman, and being seized by the US government. Didn't exactly end well for "Subject One", and it makes him glad he was raised by farmers instead of the Red Army and thus directly under Stalin. It's given him a little bit of pity for Homelander due to how he was raised in a cold, unfeeling lab, but he reminds himself he's a psychopathic narcissist. It's also given him a lot of sympathy for the Last Man of Alcatraz. He was a Superman Substitute that genuinely wanted to do good, but he was ruthlessly exploited by the US government, and later on the Lunarians, being brainwashed to do evil before eventually snapping for real. The Last Son is now a Tragic Monster beyond reasoning, much as Somishka wants to reach out to him, but he knows he has to be stopped even if he wished there was some other way.
• His redemption is seen as a massive disappointment by many a tyrant, Zod musing that while he could hardly call him an ally while he was Soviet premier he had his respect for how he led the Soviet Union. Darkseid and YHVH were going to see him as an opponent anyway but they preferred him as a villain because he aligned more with their own ideals and philosophies. The Network thought he could've been a great emissary and promoter. Somishka for what it's worth wants to divorce himself from any tyrant, especially if they had the same kind of beliefs he used to be. Some tyrants weren't disappointed because they knew they were always too evil for him to handle; we're talking your Dr Weils and your IT. Others even more so. Clu was perhaps the most sympathetic yet disappointed of Kal-L, as his desire to seek perfection means he sympathizes with his hardship at making a better world. Somishka coldly responded that he cannot accept his genocide. Nikita Dragovich is perhaps the most upset since he saw him deal vessel of ensuring Soviet and communist domination. In turn, he's called him out for acting like the Red Army's sworn enemies, comparison him Pyotr Roslov and Stalin himself. Dragovich is arguably more envious than frustrated as Superman's time as Soviet Premier was a fulfillment of his wildest dreams; he cannot imagine how one moralizing letter broke his desire to rule. The Aryan Brotherhood weren't so much disappointed as they were disgusted by an alien taking over the USSR, but since they're Boomerang Bigot trash Somishka doesn't give a damn what they think. Somishka has tried not to moralize by saying he was better than Volgin, even though Volgin was definitely worse, but he does see him as another ugly reminder of past misdeeds and misdeeds of the Soviet Union.
• If there's a figure of the Soviet Union who the Red Son Superman looks up to, and fanboys over for that matter, it's General Zhukov, perhaps the greatest general of the Red Army during WWII, who helped saved Russia from the Nazis back when he was a kid. Georgy Zhukov is flattered, though cautious; he's quite familiar with the Decadent Court of Stalin and his inner circle, which Somishka used to be part of. He's not interested in comic books, but Superman: Red Son was a noteworthy read. Ascended soldiers of the Red Army were initially wary of Kal-L due to the time he was a dictator. The Superman of Earth-30 helped break tension by making a Rousing Speech that it is men like Vasily Zaytsev, Private Koslov, Seargent Reznov and Private Petrenkov who are The Real Heroes, heroes he can't help but admire. His sincere desire to do good and make up for his past actions helped win him over, and they were proud to have a Superman of their own. He'll admit Reznov is a bit hardcore, but he still counts him as a righteous comrade. One of this Superman's heroic deeds involved saving lives in the Metro by stopping collapsing infrastructure. Artyom was thrilled by this as he really needs some guardians for the Metro System, and Red Son Superman is definitely be the type of aid he needs.
• The Emperor of Mankind wasn't fond of Somishka's past, being that he is one way or another an alien who almost ruled the world, though as a ruthless dictator himself a lot of his critiques could be pointed at him. The Emperor defends this by saying while his own means are similar, he has far worse threats to deal with that need his extremist actions. Billy Butcher also isn't convinced that his redemption is genuine and his past deeds help fuel his hatred of supes, not helped by his comic self coming to the conclusion all supes, himself and the other Boys included, need to die. The other Boys only tolerate him begrudgingly, as while they accept he wants to try and live a normal human life and make up for his past deeds they aren't ready to trust him yet. On that path to redemption, Somishka tends to work with those who hold their own regrets about past extremism, who he counts as more full-fledged allies. Merlina tried to keep her world alive at any cost, however after being defeated by Sonic he was able to inspire her to accept its mortality and adopt The Anti-Nihilist philosophy.

Final for the Red Son.

First time on this thread so forgive me if I'm doing it wrong.

Anyway the focus is on Wiz and Boomstick's entry in Pantheon.Acts Of War.

So is it fine to mention how Scooby and Courage were the first to actually tie without any drawback? If you're wondering who won, it was neither. It was a draw with both surviving. The loser was deemed to be Eustace Bagge who deserved it after being the monster that tried to kill both of them. Boomstick is obviously happy that a dog abuser got his just desserts.

Would FridgeHorrorBattleConsequences.Death Battle also fit in that entry or something? Like assuming that each battle resulted in so many wars that it tore the death battle universe apart.

"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."

First draft of the Bikini Bottom restoration. I'm not sure how many deities would find it a familiar site

Bikini Bottom, Divine Setting Where Water Is Air

• Description: An epipelagic city with buildings made out of metal, located in Bikini Atoll
• Symbol: The silhouette of a flower in the blue water
• Theme Song: The Bikini Bottom national anthem
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Portfolio: Water Is Air, Weird Buildings, Littering As Serious Business, Comedic Sociopathy
• Domains: Underwater, Fish and Other Sea-life, Krabby Patties, Boating
• Sacred to: Almost all deities from SpongeBob SquarePants
• Banned entry: Hexxus
• Bane: The Cyclops
• In Bikini Atoll there is a small island with a palm tree, marking a small city underneath the sea called Bikini Bottom. With a standard population of 538, it's home to the world's most famous sea sponge and the famed Krabby Patty. While a generally happy place, one should be careful of some of its dark humor. While being underwater, it has more in common with human society than should work. Electricity functions the same, weather is apparently a thing and fish walk. Though the rules of physics start to have an effect if you try to point it out like wondering how a fire can work underwater. Or try to write a letter, which will be ruined and chastised at before being thrown in said fire.
• The easy part of adding Bikini Bottom to the Trope Pantheon was locating it; there's a cruise ship from the Hall of Land and Sea Travel that lets you get to Bikini Atoll, and a boat house has been constructed next to it. The hard part for most deities is reaching Bikini Bottom, since it's not just about having a diver suit. Part of why the Cyclops is terrifying is that human beings are gigantic compared to the residents, with Spongebob himself being shorter than a banana. Captain Nemo's submarine has been described as "some sort of alien mothership" by the populace. The House of Shape has Hank Pym and Ray Palmer available to shrink people down to size, though admits human deities might get weird looks for "looking like ugly fish". The House of Machinery and Technology has made some money with small, realistic (albeit with the same humanoid proportions of the residents) fish, crab, starfish and cephalopod robots to use as inconspicuous avatars so as to not look out of place.
• Found in the Pacific, but similar in some respects to Atlantica, which is located in the Atlantic. As they're guided by Neptune and Triton specifically, there may be some further relationship deep in both aquatic nation's history. Poseidon isn't too sure himself, as he's still undecided on if King Triton is the same as his son Triton. Bikini Bottom has a mayor, and to drum up tourism she has tried to showcase the sights of the underwater city. For Mr Krabs this was time to make bank, jacking up the prices of Krabby Patties for outsiders to Bikini Bottom while selling the Krusty Krab as "the best fast food in the seven seas!" King Triton wasn't impressed, as he pointed out that "isn't Bikini Bottom the only place underwater with fast food?" This still hasn't stopped Atlantica residents from visiting just for the Krabby Patty, since it really is that good a burger.
• It's ambiguous where Bikini Bottom stands between being a city-state, and being part of a larger nation. It has a mayor but King Neptune rules over it, though that might just be down to him being king of the sea. Said King Neptune is an iteration of the Roman god Neptune, better known as the aforementioned Poseidon. In a way, he's a god-king of Bikini Bottom though most Bikini Bottomites care more about the king part than the god. Poseidon has made it very clear to other Lord of the Ocean he's the top dog here. He may be on decent enough terms with Arthur Curry and Orm the Ocean Master, respecting their efforts protecting the sea, but makes it clear they are not allowed to order around the Bikini Bottomites. His people can respect them, yes, but this is his turf. He's even butted heads with his brother Zeus over this issue, leading to some second hand embarrassment from the latter.
  Zeus: "Dude, we already sorted out who's in charge of what millennia ago! Stop being so insecure!"
• Perhaps Plankton's greatest, most evil scheme, Plan Z, saw him usurp control of Bikini Bottom with mind-control bucket helmets. Usually he's not that evil, though it's not like he regrets it...outside of the fact it has given some other deities their own ideas of conquests. The fish Joe and Fishman Hody Jones know that the human diver they call "the Cyclops" is a fearsome monster to the populace, and for them he's a good excuse to stir up anti-human sentiment. Hody wants to inspire Bikini Bottom to rise up and fight against the human race, hiding his Fishman supremacist spiel with the lie of wanting to protect the city. Joe wishes to bring up the potential of the already sentient residents. His hopes is with the right amount of fish antidote, he can make the Bikini Bottomites super-geniuses. Their efforts haven't amounted to much, though, as the residents lack the context to buy into their claims.
• There are aquatic deities in the Trope Pantheon who do not fall under the Water Is Air trope, and rather than become subject to it in Bikini Bottom they actually keep most of their own water physics. To many Bikini Bottomites, their ability to actually swim comes off like a miracle of flight. Marlin, Nemo and Dory once went to Bikini Bottom as part of a vacation and found there was a novelty in it. There was a bit of a panic when Marlin ended up getting some fire on him, but it was doused the moment he pointed out fire shouldn't be possible. Hermes thought its Water Is Air attributes might explain how Zoidberg's burned down underwater, but that couldn't be the case since Atlanta was in the Atlantic. Or as Hermes himself put it "that raises even further questions!" While Mario and Luigi still end up moving sluggishly in Bikini Bottom, their otherwise full adherence to Water Is Air means it's business as normal for them. Sandy is perplexed by the fact they don't even need an air supply.
• One of the more puzzling places for human divers to visit is Goo Lagoon...that's right, a lagoon exists underwater for the residents to swim in...under-under water, perhaps? Surprisingly enough there are apparent underwater pools like cold seeps and brine pools...though real brine pools are considerably more hostile for most organisms. That said, many still say it's a stretch, and the idea it "makes sense" was not helped by the time Chaos Zero showed up, somehow not altered by the sea water around them. However their hydrokinetic powers still let them manipulate the water and current around them, becoming even more formidable than on land. Occasionally there's odd purple goo that emerges from Goo Lagoon, which is possibly algae bubbles or pollution. That said, one individual believes the purple goo is something more morbid; jellyfish corpses .
• There's a large variety of humanoid, sentient animals in Bikini Bottom, but not all sea creatures are sapient. Some like sea urchins are no different from normal, making them "boring conversation" for Pincurchin. The city's residents are more terrified of him than anything due to his Electric type. Somewhere in the middle you have clams and jellyfish, who are definitely smarter than the regular version but take the role of birds and bees respectively^note though again, jellies are closer to birds in intellect. Jellyfish Field is over 50 miles wide and home to over 4 million jellyfish, who make jam-like jelly. It's a popular place for people to relax and playing jellyfishing. Some entertainment areas include the Glove World theme park (sometimes Glove Universe) and the Fry Cook museum. Besides the Krabby Patty, another signature cuisine is the Goofy Goober's ice cream parlor. And if you're really tough, there's always the Salty Spittoon to check out.
• Heavily opposes littering, to the point most visitors see it as disproportionate. Captain Planet have pointed out garbage and pollution is a lot more deadly to underwater life than land life so it's not an unjustified status; Hexxus has been permanently banned from ever entering Bikini Bottom for this reason. Asides from Sandy the residents are unaware Bikini Atoll was a nuclear test site, which some have speculated its citizens are mutants as a result of the atomic blast. The fact it has had sentient sea-life since the prehistoric era seems to disprove this, though this doesn't stop people claiming it's true. That being said, once every century a green anomaly called "Neptune's moon" shows up to mutate aquatic life into their more primitive, realistic forms. Testing by the SCP Foundation show that its radiation can regress fishmen like Fisher Tiger and the Gill-Man in the same way. The following "Neptune's sun" has the same effect on land dwellers.
• Beavis and Butt-Head regularly visit Bikini Bottom, not because they're a fan of Spongebob Squarepants but because of the name. It's a joke lost on everyone there except the land-dweller Sandy, who chuckled a bit before being they made jokes about her full name of Sandy Cheeks, and the joke would quickly grow stale anyway. It's not like the Bikini part has anything to do with what they're thinking of anyway, though it's also not like they'd be mature or smart enough to know that. On a side note, for land dwellers wanting to take off their underwater suit, you might want to pay Sandy's treedome a visit. It's for free, but she has tried to make a buck by selling Texan memorabilia and inventions.

Since King Triton was mentioned, you can also mention his daughter Ariel who might be interested in visiting Bikini Bottom. Aquaman might also pay it a visit.

• Not much is known about the mysterious mask. What is known however, is that it was used in ancient rituals by an unknown group, and that a malevolent entity resides within it. It was eventually found by The Happy Mask Salesman. Time would pass, and Skull Kid would knock him out and take the mask for himself. The mask, however, was sentient, and gradually corrupted and took control of him, delivering suffering to people, animals and Flora all alike, eventually deciding to try destroying all of Termina by crashing the Moon into it. If it weren't for Link, it would have succeeded. The name of the entity within the mask? Majora.

I’m plotting my schemes wherever I go! They’re perfect in every way…

Aku Aku and Uka Uka are also two sentient, powerful masks, with Aku Aku being benevolent and Uka Uka being evil. Aku Aku would obviously be an enemy, but with Uka Uka he'd probably see Majora as a rival for his goal of destroying the world as he feels entitled to do so.

Interaction with Stanley Ipkiss aka The Mask who wears a wooden mask that turns into a chaotic looney toon-esque character while still being a heroic character.

The Jackie Chan Adventures characters all had their experience with the Oni masks. Jackie, Jade, Uncle, and Tohru, as well as the Dark Hand Enforcers, all searched for the masks, the former 4 to keep them from being used and the latter on the orders of Tarakudo to acquire power.

It's been a while since I have posted but I'm gonna leave this here right now to tell you that I'm working on Jamie Siu's Pantheon profile at the moment.

Thing is, the trope that I was thinking about having him represent, Frothy Mugs of Water is already taken by Soda Popinski, who also represents Drunk Russians. On the flip side, I noticed that Drunken Boxing is also free to be taken as no one else represents it as of writing.

What do you think I should do? Shall I have Jamie take Drunken Boxing instead? While he illustrates Frothy Mugs of Water well thanks to the game referring to his drink as a 'non-alcoholic ki-enhancing herbal tea', I think Soda Popinski's case (His name change from Vodka Drunkenski, his vodka changed to soda in the NES game) is more famous and well-known.

You can freely take the trope from his profile, as gods only need one trope to represent. Helps that Popinski's profile isn't very developed anywho.

Miss Heed, Screwball, Punchline, Kurt Kunkle, and Tyreen and Troy Calypso are all good options for that.

From past experience, I've learned that trying to propose drafts for the Pantheon isn't my strong suit, considering I'm just not creative enough to be able to design a lot of folders. But maybe I can contribute in a different way.

I've noticed you currently don't have a god for the Bad Influencer trope yet. They'd probably go under the House of Personality, or Popularity or Pride and Egotism, or something among those lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Miss Head seems like a good choice, but doesn't make much sense to include her in the Pantheon and not the main cast (Black Hat, Dr. Flug, Demencia and 505). If they get an entry in the near future, maybe then we can consider adding her.

Maybe I should go with Kurt Kunkle for now.

I was thinking of adding a character from Skunk Fu! (2007-2008) as a member of the pantheons, as we've got main characters from the entire Irish Folklore Trilogy and The Breadwinner, it only seems fair to have one from Cartoon Saloon's first big hit. I'm not sure who though.

Also with Miss Heed I feel the villainous crew should be considered first if we want a rep from that series, being the main characters after all. I think someone has an idea for that

You got the first part of suggesting someone right. The second part is to explain why your character fits the trope you want to give them.

For reference, here's a list of proposals I made weeks ago. It should give you a good idea of how suggestions are properly done and I hope you can learn something out of it.

Finally, if you're eager to stick around and contribute further, here's a sandbox page under your name, which you can go ahead and create via making the page's first edit. You would want to develop your profiles there before posting them in the forums for further feedback.
