* UndyingWarrior: All the main Apostles shown are presented as this trope, due to their immortal lives giving them plenty of time to brush up on combat skills and many such as Judas, Paul, and Matthew have been involved in more than a few wars. In the modern day, this amounts to even hapless immortals like Judas being a walking OneManArmy who can battle giant monsters without fear.
