History Franchise / BUBBLEUniverse

** The Antichrist gives Hell's Throne over to Danila (who is infused with the spirit of Satan). Since the Antichrist is [[spoiler: the embodiment of the dark side of God (and the [[CreatorGod creator of the universe]]), and Danila effectively takes over his job, it counts.

** By the time of ''Major Igor Grom'', [[{{Fanboy}} Max]] is more than eager to take up the mantle. Unfortunately, he has none of the foresight, compassion, or maturity that Grom brought to the job; Grom is ''not'' happy about this.
* CrisisCrossover: "Time of the Raven" is Bubble's, bringing together, for the first time, four of the Bubbleverse protagonists in the same setting. (With the remaining two being effected by the events.)

** ''Time of the Raven'' revolves around a ''major'' case of demonic possession, with Sergey Razumovsky becoming the vessel for the Raven god Kutkh. Interestingly, Kutkh can't take control without Razumovsky's permission; he forces compliance by killing [[SplitPersonality The Bird]] (which leaves Sergey helpless) and reminding Sergey of the suffocating guilt he feels over killing Oleg.

** The Antichrist gives Hell's Throne over to [[spoiler: Danila (who is infused with the spirit of Satan)]]. Since the Antichrist is [[spoiler: the embodiment of the dark side of God (and the [[CreatorGod creator of the universe]]), and Danila effectively takes over his job]], it counts.

** The Third Wave global event, ''Heroes and Monsters'' (2023), was greatly scaled back, as many BUBBLE lines had ended by that time. The miniseries featured the heroes of ''Plague Doctor'' and ''MIR'' teaming up to combat ''Major Igor Grom'' villain Albert Fishk, a sadistic [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]].

** The final act of ''Crusade''. ''Hoo'', boy. [[spoiler: Andrey, as part of his [[ItsPersonal personal mission]] to purge all magic, ends up wiping countless worlds from existence, and then kills an enclave of Feathered Ones...only to learn after the fact that [[GoodAllAlong they were the people touched by]] ''[[GoodAllAlong white]]'' [[GoodAllAlong feathers]], and he just killed one of the Earth's last hopes.]] Oops.

* ResetButton: The second run of ''Demonslayer'' concludes with [[spoiler: [[ApocalypseHow the destruction of the universe]] at the hands of the Antichrist (who is confirmed to be the dark side of {{God}}, and to have carried out the same process dozens of times in the past). Tired of the constant cycle of death and recreation, the Antichrist concedes Hell's throne to Danila, who uses the power afforded him to remake the universe just as it was before, with no one but himself the wiser. (He does, however, make a few notable changes, such as his deceased friends being alive, and himself -- and a few demons -- remade as ordinary humans.)]]

** This trope isn't limited to humans: it turns out that [[spoiler: {{God}} himself has a light and a dark side, embodied by Jesus Christ and the Antichrist (respectively).]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Danila is gloomy and brooding, hides his face under a hood, sports [[PowerTattoo demonic tattoos]] and [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]], sometimes [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]], eyes, has a rat-like imp for a sidekick, and generally doesn't look like the friendliest guy around. Yet, he is ultimately on the side of good. Even after becoming the ruler of {{Hell}} and TheAntichrist.
** Balor, despite being a [[NobleDemon demonic]] [[TheSymbiote symbiote]], is ultimately a benign entity (who ends up saving countess lives).

** ''Time of the Raven'' revolves around a ''major'' case of demonic possession, with Sergey Razumovsky becoming the vessel for the Raven god Kutkh. Interestingly, Kutkh can't take control without Razumovsky's permission; he forces compliance by killing [[SplitPersonality The Bird]] (which leaves Sergei helpless) and reminding Sergey of the suffocating guilt he feels over killing Oleg.
** Later in the same arc, Igor Grom also temporarily becomes host to [[LightIsGood the white aspect]] of Kutkh.

** The Antichrist gives Hell's Throne over to [[spoiler: Danila (who is infused with the spirit of Satan)]]. Since the Antichrist is the embodiment of [[spoiler the dark side of God (and the [[CreatorGod creator of the universe]]), and Danila effectively takes over his job]], it counts.

* HomelessHero: Yana, of ''Besoboy'' goes from a mentally broken homeless girl to a powerful sorceress who fights the forces of evil.

** The final act of ''Crusade''. ''Hoo'', boy. Andrey, as part of his mission to purge all magic from the world, ends up wiping countless worlds from existence, and then kills an enclave of Feathered Ones...only to learn after the fact that [[GoodAllAlong they were the people touched by]] ''[[GoodAllAlong white]]'' [[GoodAllAlong feathers]], and he just killed one of the Earth's last hopes. Oops.
* PowerTattoo: Danila's tattoos are infused with the blood of {{Satan}}
* ResetButton: The second run of ''Demonslayer'' concludes with [[ApocalypseHow the destruction of the universe]] at the hands of the Antichrist (who is confirmed to be the dark side of {{God}}, and to have carried out the same process dozens of times in the past). Tired of the constant cycle of death and recreation, the Antichrist concedes Hell's throne to Danila, who uses the power afforded him to remake the universe just as it was before, with no one but himself the wiser. (He does, however, make a few notable changes, such as his deceased friends being alive, and himself -- and a few demons -- remade as ordinary humans.)

** After his emergence, The Bird hoards most of Sergey's confidence and aggression...leading to the creation of a secondary personality, Rag (a.k.a. Softie or the Doormat), who represents Sergey's meek, fearful, introverted side. Bird is killed by Kutkh when he attempts to protect them from the pagan god, leaving only Rag. It hasn't been confirmed whether Rag is an actual separate persona, or just the parts of Sergey not claimed by Bird; currently, Oleg refers to Sergei as "Grey", implying that the "real" Sergey is somewhere in between the two personas.
** In the {{Cliffhanger}} finale of "The Last Case"[[note]]''Major Grom''[[/note]], Dr. Rubenstein informs Igor Grom that Ilya Kosygin, the man he has been working alongside to bring down a drug czar -- whom Kosygin just murdered in cold blood, along with his entire family -- was in fact DeadAllAlong: the man Igor was seeing was a manifestation of his own split personality, born out of the grief of losing Yulia and their unborn child, whom Igor is using as a scapegoat for his crimes]]. At least, [[RealAfterAll that's how]] [[TheConspiracy it appears]]...
** This trope isn't limited to humans: it turns out that {{God}} himself has a light and a dark side, embodied by Jesus Christ and the Antichrist (respectively).
** Kutkh also had a light and a dark side. It's explained that the dark side was created after Kutkh absorbed monsters, who passed their evil onto the Raven God, giving him a murderous, malicious aspect to his nature. After the two sides are given physical form (by briefly taking possession of Sergey Razumovsky and Igor Grom,. respectively), the light side forgives the dark, and the two are then merged into one being, which departs from the mortal realm.

** Danila is frequently seen as such by [[TheMasquerade those not in the know]].

* ''Major Grom: Hero Forever'' (2020)[[note]]trade paperback[[/note]]

* GodOfHumanOrigin: Xenia (Kseniya) Radova/Ksyusha.
** Of a sort: the Antichrist gives Hell's Throne over to [[spoiler: Danila (who is infused with the spirit of Satan). Since the Antichrist is the embodiment of the dark side of God (and the [[CreatorGod creator of the universe]]), and Danila effectively takes over his job, it counts.
