OST is short for "original soundtrack". It refers to a collection of music, not the individual tracks that make it up.

* William "Bill" Stryker was a sergeant in the army, and may have been involved in the Weapon X program. When his pregnant wife was exposed to radiation, the child was physically mutated. He believed it was a monster, [[OffingTheOffspring stabbing the newborn]]. Snapping his wife's neck and attempted suicide after, he would reach rock-bottom as a drunk to his actions. When learning of Professor Xavier's news articles about mutants, he became convinced that God has saved him to save the world from mutants, which he believed were demons.
* In his fanatical belief, Stryker believes that mutants are actually Satan's plot to corrupt mankind, being literal demons from Hell. They did nothing wrong to him personally, he just happens to [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence feel oppressed by their existence]] as many human antagonists of the X-Men. Admittedly mutant villains can feel the same about humans. He's a competent preacher and has made his temple a studio for televangelism, though given how varied members of the pantheon are it hasn't gotten as much traction.
* Because of his views on mutants, ''every'' single mutant despises him and in turn he despises every single mutant. This includes those outside Earth-616, like Turanga Leela. He likes the Imperium of Mankind's views on the "purity" of the human genome and the religious bent they have towards it, and is ready to serve them. That being said, he doesn't much care or agree for their more ruthless and callous actions towards their fellow men, or the CrapsackWorld that is the 41st millennium.
* Should be noted that he is a ''fantastic'' [[FantasticRacism racist]], not a contemporary example. [[EqualOpportunityEvil He's tolerant towards human races]], even respecting other religions despite being TheFundamentalist. He is just as repulsed by the Red Skull as most people are, only tolerating him because of his plan to commit genocide on the mutants. While their SinisterMinister profile permits him to work with Frollo, he does not agree with the [[DirtyOldMonk perverted preacher's]] hatred towards gypsies.
* The religious bent he has means he despises any and all demons. While demons do seem to be AlwaysChaoticEvil in his universe and many others, the pantheon has plenty of morally neutral or [[DarkIsNotEvil good-aligned]] demons, yet he treats them as no less depraved. Even the ones from Nippon Ichi, who regard him as utterly evil. He has declared a personal war against all versions of Lucifer and Satan as well, though they aren't too concerned with the raving zealot.
* One would think that he would be lining up to worship YHVH, but not quite. He's not entirely down with TheEvilsOfFreeWill, though does admire His desire to make an egalitarian and orderly world. On the flip side, being EqualOpportunityEvil the Great Will doesn't agree with him thinking mutants are demons, when they have just as much a right to worship Him [[WorldOfSilence forever and ever]]. They seem to agree to disagree.
* All for Alexander Anderson's slaying of monsters, wishing to team up with him. This was a contested relationship due to Anderson being more of an AntiHero, and lacking the FantasticRacism Stryker had against mutants. He has made it clear that he considers him to be a disgrace against the faith, and ''only'' tolerates him to help slay monsters, vampires, werewolves and the such. The rest of the House of Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith either despises or otherwise doesn't care for him.
* Archibald Snatcher was very interested in Stryker and wanted his help to get rid of the trolls, and other "monsters". He agreed that mutants were demons, though unlike the SinisterMinister [[ItsAllAboutMe it was to increase social status by exploiting them]]. The two have agreed to work together...for now. As the god of FantasticRacism, Teyrn Loghain understands him.
* Any human who sympathizes with the mutant plight, in his eyes, [[CategoryTraitor is a traitor to humanity]]. He was utterly disgusted to learn of Philip J Fry's deep and powerful love for the mutant Leela, especially upon learning he's literally gone to the end of the universe and beyond for her and helped the mutants be free from their conditions in the sewers. While it is hard for [[NiceGuy Fry]] to truly hate anyone, Stryker is a definite exception.
* Along with people like Fry, he considers Ragyo Kiryuin and Jake Sully traitors towards humanity due to siding with, as he sees, the enemy. Admittedly his views are totally justified with Ragyo. He hates Davros(again, justifiably) as the ''worst'' traitor of all; having his race replaced by psychotic mutants in the form of the Daleks, all to satisfy [[AGodAmI his delusions of godhood]]. Flipped his shit upon learning of Griffith and the Godhand due to willing transforming into actual demons, and all SMT protagonists due to siding with them.

* Conflicted opinion on: [[Pantheon/NarrativeTone The Antagonist (Hatred)]], [[Pantheon/SelfHatred Shinobu Sensui]]
* Hody Jones is a Great White Shark Fish-man, former Neptune army soldier and head of the New Fish-Man Pirates. Inspired by the teachings of Fisher Tiger and Arlong, he's a fishman supremacist who was offended by Queen Otohime's attempt to find peace with humans and tried to cause racial tension by hiring a human to burn the signature box, assassinate Otohime [[FalseFlagOperation and frame the human]]. Taking over Fishman Island he planned to execute everyone sympathetic to humanity and devastate the island with the ship Noah. To boost his strength he and his crew had Energy Steroids, which he gulped down by the truckload. Ultimately he was outclassed when going up against Monkey D Luffy and the Straw Hats and the drugs took their toll, rendering his men fragile old shells of their former selves. However his hatred remains the same.
* By all accounts, Hody Jones was destined to rot away in jail as a severely aged, dried up criminal. [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]] had other plans, however; he was interested in using another supremacist to serve the cause of [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil Evil]] and felt spurned when Fisher Tiger flatly denied, since he may hate humans [[EveryoneHasStandards but there are many lines he won't cross in spite of the hatred]]. Hody Jones had ''no'' lines he wouldn't cross and envisions himself as an embodiment of prejudice. Through ties in the Hall of Pantheon/DrugsAndPharmaceuticals he whipped up a drug that could restore Hody to full health, however if he goes into withdrawal he'll start rapidly aging again. It's convenient for the GUAE as it also serves as a proverbial leash on him. Nitrus Bio was made to commission these healing drugs, which he wasn't all that enthused by [[EvenEvilHasStandards as he doesn't like helping a major racist no matter the compensation he gets]].
* Though he hates all humans, he takes special umbridge against the Straw Hats for causing his defeat. Never mind that [[FantasticDrug his abuse of Energy Steroids]] would've guaranteed he could never live long enough to make his vision a reality or that there were plenty of people who would've stopped his plan in its tracks, being devastated by Zoro and later Luffy even in preferable conditions fills him with even more hate. The fact Monkey D Luffy destroyed his Idol Arlong's operations in the East Blue makes him his personal ArchEnemy, and even in a completely frail state demanded a rematch. Noting some similarities, he hates the pirate Jack Sparrow. Within his own 'verse he has major beef with Whitebeard and Big Mom for claiming Fisherman Island as their territory. Whitebeard did so to protect the people of the island from other pirates and Big Mom made a deal to protect it as her territory in return for lots of sweets. Far as he's concerned the island wouldn't need any help from a mere human to protect it unless the humans were his slaves.
* A former follower of Reverend Stryker, and not proud of the fact. Hody Jones ''despises'' humans, and anyone sympathetic to them. This includes other Fishman, who he will give the CategoryTraitor treatment. The reason why he was a follower, though, is because [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence his bigotry was just as hollow and petty as the]] SinisterMinister. He grew up in Fishman District, a run-down and isolated place where sentiments against humanity ran so intensely that Hody was radicalized into someone who would exterminate all humans. [[FreudianExcuseDenial By his own admission humans did nothing to him]], instead he was TaughtToHate. [[DisappointedByTheMotive This is seen as empty and hollow by most]], especially Hody's idol Fisher Tiger. He had a legitimate reason to hate humans, if one he admitted was irrational, yet [[EveryoneHasStandards he would still free them from slavery]] and wouldn't harm an innocent. Hody deludes himself into thinking this is some sort of test by Fisher and that he is being deceived over how he "really" died, and he refuses to listen to Fisher's scathing condemnation over how his treatment of his fellow Fishmen makes him just as bad as the humans who actually deserve his scorn.
* About the only humans he has anything resembling a positive opinion on is so-called "[[FanNickname Not Important]]" and Shinobu Sensui, and that's only because [[MisanthropeSupreme they have a deep hatred for humanity]] [[BoomerangBigot despite being human]]. The latter at least has reasons and clear motives to why he's the way he is, so he's not a fan of Hody. As for the Antagonist, he doesn't work well with anyone but he isn't going out of his way to fight him either. Hody Jones will begrudgingly accept the aid of humans [[BoomerangBigot who despise their own kind]] at least half as much as he does and appreciate what he's doing on some level, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork but just barely]]. Odio isn't all that impressed by him and again, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he has a stronger motive for why he's misanthropic]], but he'll tolerate Hody to a degree. Gulliver, while misanthropic, [[EveryoneHasStandards wouldn't sink to the level of Hody Jones]] and is simply disgusted by him.
* Hody Jones is not the only pantheon resident to have become prejudiced from his environment and teachings, rather than any personal slight. Jojo Betzler used to ''literally'' be a Nazi [[ANaziByAnyOtherName rather than figurative like Hody]], but given his youth he fell more into the InnocentBigot group. The time he spent with the Jewish runaway Elsa changed his worldview and he realized the true evil of the Nazi cause. That someone like Hody could remain so bone-deep in his hatred and never grow out of his ways is something terrible to Jojo. Not that the fishman could care, as he sees him as just another human. To an extent he feels the same to Reverend Stryker and Belos despite their similarities, but he admits that "if they were Fishmen, I might've liked the cut of their jib". Belos doesn't hold any prejudice to Hody in return, but that's because his hatred is more towards witches and demons and he has not been raised to hate fish-men or those like fish-men. As Hody has grander ambitions (read; TakeOverTheWorld) he considers them rivals, both in his goals and to a degree ideologically.
* With the clear as day comparisons between him and Emperor Belos, Luz and Amity ''despise'' him almost as intensely. Hody considers witches no different than humans, so he holds them in contempt almost to the degree Belos does. After all, this is a Fishman who despite not having a genuine reason to hate humans, hates them so much he'll outright sabotage peace attempts and subject humans to slavery, the very sin that would motivate his idol Fisher's prejudices. They've called him just as bad as the worst human persecutors is a concept, which entered one ear and exited the other as he considers any cruelty Fishmen will do to humans to be completely justified, [[NoTrueScotsman and thinks Fishmen who don't agree with them are race traitors]]. He doesn't respect their InterspeciesRomance either, but his hatred of them as humans [[MageSpecies or close enough]] takes precedent. Another group of ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' deities who really hate Hody Jones are Anne Boonchuy and her friends, and the Plantar Family, as they fought against the Core who planned to invade Earth and kill off Humanity so it could stripmine the planet for resources.
* Magneto and the Scarlet Witch are appalled at his bigotry as they both have suffered anti-mutant prejudice. Magneto is especially pissed off at Hody given he's also ''[[GenocideSurvivor a Holocaust survivor]]''...this also ties into Amity's hatred of him, since she narrowly avoided being a GenocideSurvivor as well. Hody tried to call him a {{Hypocrite}} by saying [[NotSoDifferentRemark he's a different breed of]] [[SuperSupremacist supremacist]], however the magnetic mutant is seen by most as morally superior due to [[EvenEvilHasStandards the clear moral limits he has in his cause]] [[PetTheDog and ability to sympathize with other people]]. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Not to mention he actually has a reason for why he's the way he is]] and is capable of changing his own prejudiced ways for the greater good.
* The idea of living in peace with humans sickens him and that Fishmen should take their rightful place as the MasterRace...again, quite Nazi of him. Personally he thinks the Nazi's racial ideology is stupid [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being no different]]. The Red Skull may see him as inferior (though not a complete "untermensch") but he holds some respect for his vision of spreading hate and dedication to do whatever it takes to achieve his vision. Hody may hate him for being human, but he was entranced by the reach of HYDRA and has been inspired to form his own organization to spread his cause. HYDRA ignores him as [[TheCaligula he's overly reckless whenever he gets a bit of power]], and his supremacist views do not match any of their member's supremacists views. Hody has also been compared to a card-carrying member of the KKK, a comparison that annoys Col. Benjamin Cameron. It's a fair comparison as outside of racism many actual KKK members joined the military almost solely to get the abilities to better persecute members of other races. What bothers him is that he would never treat his own race as badly as Hody has in the name of his own racist ideology.
* Draco Malfoy and Sirius Black come from families with long-standing bigotry, with Draco's dad having been a Death Eater. As an adult Draco has fortunately matured and first hand learned how bad supremacy can get. Sirius never was bigoted, and he ended up being disinherited because of it. They're quite disappointed in Hody Jones for letting his racist ideology make him the worst version of himself, comparing him to Voldemort. Voldemort considers the comparison insulting, but that's more down to being significantly more competent than Hody [[SmugSnake despite his notorious arrogance]]. [[FantasticRacism He considers Fishmen dirty]] though not to the extent of his hatred for Muggles and muggleborn[[note]]despite, or perhaps because [[BoomerangBigot his father was a Muggle]][[/note]]. He would consider hiring him as he did [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Fenrir]] however Hody refuses to be subservient to a human and he has his own goals that'd probably conflict with the Death Eaters. Personally he doesn't get Voldemort's own prejudices against Muggles or muggle-born, but that's down to seeing all types of human as equally inferior to one another.
* Freeing his men wasn't a condition getting him into the Trope Pantheon. [[BadBoss Not that he cares enough to bring it up]], as he can always find new allies. Though he believes fishmen are the MasterRace, he sees other non-humans as better than humans and worthy enough to be proper allies instead of slaves. There could be an element of pragmatism there, but he has also found likeminded non-humans who hold contempt towards ''homo sapiens''. One of the few he calls a friend in the Trope Pantheon is Koba, as the two are quite alike; driven in their vendetta against human beings, but prove deeply hypocritical, having little to no problem with killing even their own kind. While it is true that Koba has reasons to hate humanity unlike Hody, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it's not like it justifies them]]. Hody Jones is an ally of the Dark Dragon due to shared supremacist hatred of humans, but it's more of an alliance of convenience between them.
* As a humanoid great white shark with a real mean streak, Hody is rather fond of Bruce. Being a regular shark (if an abnormally aggressive one), Bruce is incapable of normal alliances, however Hody is able to "tame" him to a certain extent. He's figured out the right chum mix, which unfortunately includes whatever unfortunate human he managed to kill. The pirahnas in the Hall of Pantheon/{{Fish}} are other animals the Fish-Man wants to make his pets in hopes of taming them. Personally he thinks the Kraken is really cool for all the human ships it has sunk, but he's smart enough to realize that it would not distinguish his own ship from human ships so this is more a "from a glance" respect. Another sea beast he's fond of is Moby-Dick, sympathizing with its vendetta with whalers and legend. Well OK, "sympathize" might be too strong a word from him, but it's close enough. He was intrigued but also revolted to learn about Susie Haltmann, who first encountered by Kirby in Overload Ocean; the mechanized version of Planet Popstar's Olive/Orange Ocean, complete with mechanized sea life, including mechanized sharks. [[BileFascination Though he considers it an abomination, he is also intrigued]]
* Hody Jones considers fishmen to not just be humanoid fish like himself, but mermaids. Merfolk like Orm, however, he puts on a lower racial ranking as they are bit too human for his likings, however he doesn't hold radical hatred towards them like he does "true" humans. He does hate Aquaman on a racial basis though, as he is mixed blood between an Atlantean queen and normal human lighthouse worker, a loving match that runs antithetical to his worldview. Basically he considers his mother a race traitor and Aquaman an abomination, only to get slapped across the room by Aquaman for his horrible views. Namor approved of this, as while he has a complicated, often fraught relationship with surface dwellers he would never sink to the lows of Hody. Orm detests Hody too, [[EvenEvilHasStandards as he has standards to his radical views]]. The Atlantean Lucier has told Hody to piss off due to his racist views, however he still yells at him for being pretty buddy-buddy with humans even past the whole mutual struggle against dragonkind, and considers his {{Demihuman}} status to be ''barely'' any better than human. As for what he thinks of the Deep, he thinks he's a mutant freak and "mongrel man-fish". While the Deep isn't popular, being a self-pitying [[CastingCouch celebrity sex]] [[SerialRapist offender]] [[BestialityIsDepraved with a fish fetish]], he would never be as violent or hateful as Hody [[EvenEvilHasStandards and is deeply reluctant to do anything that'd amount to treason]].
* His ultimate goal is to take on the World Government, enslave all humanity and become Pirate King. Having never been to the surface, he's got the idea that a force of 100,000 pill-popping underlings is enough to take them on and has no idea how out of his depth he is. Well, maybe more like was, since being part of the Trope Pantheon he is aware of powerful beings who if he can tame, could help him legitimately take on the World Government. [[SmallNameBigEgo And yet he has gotten it into his head that]] he can one day rule ''the Trope Pantheon''. This new big scheme was first to get the support of Rahab and the Deep Sea King. In fairness, this ended up working as they both hold contempt for humanity and a preference for sea life, so Hody Jones is welcome to hang out and support them. Then he decided to try and control Kyogre in order to flood the world for Fishmen to inherit and humanity to be enslaved or perish...that was a lot less successful. The legendary was surprised to see Archie personally confront Hody for his hateful ways despite his history. Archie wanted to expand the seas for the sake of Pokemon, but he doesn't hate his fellow man and repented when he realized [[GoneHorriblyRight the sea levels would rise beyond what he hoped for]].
* Hody Jones is hoping to radicalize fellow aquatic deities into his way of thinking. His current targets are the Gill-Man and members of Bikini Bottom, funnily enough. Since the latter's residents barely, if ever interacts with (or is even aware of the existence of) humans they had no idea what they were saying. He pointed to the terrifying monster, the Cyclops, [[HumansAreCthulhu being human]]. [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Spongebob]] was clueless at all this since he met Creator/DavidHasselhoff and doesn't get why Hody is so hateful. Hody wants to push for King Triton to agree with his views, however he and Ariel are disgusted by his actions. Yes Triton wasn't fond of surface dwellers for some time because they were responsible for his wife's death, but he has come to tolerate them and never behaved as atrociously as Hody. Hody considers his change of views to be a great loss, and he feels the same with the Dracula from Hotel Transylvania. While the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' Dracula is more in line with his hatred towards humans, he is annoyed by how arrogant and hollow Hody's hatred is.
* In spite of these failures, one piscine deity ended up allying with him; Joe. He seeks to overthrow humanity with hyper-intelligent fish thanks to an intelligence potion (also an antidote from being turned into a fish). He even convinced Hitchcocks' Birds to side with him over a mutual hatred of humans, though the avians are more interesting in revenge against birds being killed than racism. However, Hody was upset discovering the effect of Joe's potion on Fishmen; it enhanced their intelligence, but it made already the anthropomorphic Fishmen closer to ''human''. Full consumption would turn a Fishman fully human, which they would survive so long as they're not underwater since Fishmen are technically amphibious, and enhance their normal human-level intellect to that of a super-genius. As much as a potential benefit this has Hody Jones absolutely refuses to let it be used and is terrified [[ColorMeBlack someone will use it on him]]. He'll try to avoid the human transformation first, though.
* His biggest dream in radicalization is to convince Poseidon, Greek god of the seas, that humans are scum and [[FinalSolution should all be drowned]] or [[MadeASlave or enslaved]]. Poseidon does have times where he actually agrees to a certain extent with Hody, [[Manga/SaintSeiya such as thinking they were destroying the planet]]. However he considers this mindset an OldShame and while mercurial and at times cruel, he regards Hody Jones' views as "racist garbage" and has told him to shoe instead of risk incurring his wrath. He has attempted to radicalize "less difficult" figures like Monstro and Golganneth. The former he sees as a powerful monster he can tame, however Monstro ignored this as the whale doesn't have the capacity to even care about prejudices and treats Fishmen and humans equally as potential food. The latter sees him as an insignificant dust mote, as just because he's a god of seas and skies doesn't mean he cares about his ideologies. He tried to reach out towards Greta of the Reverberation Ensemble due to being a vicious shark woman but learning she WasOnceAMan turned him off. She just thinks his human hatred and supremacy talk is irrelevant, instead wondering what he'd taste like after being sufficiently tortured and cooked to perfection.
* While he is mainly an enemy with heroic pirates, there are also some pretty evil pirates he butts heads with. As much as Orm and especially Arthur Curry hate him, they also think his hatred of Black Manta is completely understandable. David Hyde is a man who would poison the entire ocean [[EvilIsPetty to hurt Aquaman]], infamous [[WouldHurtAChild murdered his baby boy]] and if he's not a total [[TheSociopath sociopath]] he's damn close to it. Far as Hody is concerned he's a walking, talking argument against humanity, something Black Manta laughs at [[CardCarryingVillain as he agrees with many of his accusations]] [[AtLeastIAdmitIt but in that way he's not pretentious]] like Hody. Another pirate, one easily as bad as him that he feuds with, is Euron Greyjoy. Euron is a wannabe {{Ubermensch}} sea farer with a grandiose vision, but he's considerably more [[AxCrazy man]][[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ic]] than Hody. He thinks Hody's supremacist ideology is stupid and his vision [[GodhoodSeeker of aspiring to something like the Drowned God]] (except not quite like because he actually thinks it's a stupid concept for a god), and enjoys taunting him that he has not seen the world as he has.
* He hasn't really considered aliens in his worldview, since while the setting of ''Manga/OnePiece'' is a WorldOfWeirdness outside of some funky things happening [[{{Lunarians}} on the moon]] there's no recorded aliens. [[AliensAreBastards And many aliens who want to get rid of humans]] wouldn't see Fishmen as much different. The VUX want to kill humans [[DisproportionateRetribution because]] [[HumansAreUgly they find them unfathomably ugly]]. They do not care for Fishman supremacy, musing that they "look marginally more tolerable than humans", but Hody respects their hatred of humans all the same. He also respects the hatred Octogeddon has towards humans, due to how he will [[MonumentalDamage tear apart their monuments]] [[DisproportionateRetribution over slight offenses]]. The massive cephalopod doesn't care for his respect since it may be petty, but it's not nearly as racist as Hody.
* Some aliens took note of his hatred and had a more positive outlook...Frieza and Baby. Frieza committed genocide on the Saiyans out of fear that they would overthrow them, though nowadays he's less racist and though no less sociopathic he accepts [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Goku]] as a WorthyOpponent. As such, Hody is more an amusing relic to him, one that he tolerates and likes his spirit, but is otherwise ambivalent to him and his supremacist views since he doesn't care about racial supremacy more so than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]]. Baby holds more respect as he has a raging hatred towards the Saiyans. Granted, the Saiyans actually did make his people suffer however the parasite [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse voids any sympathy he could get]] due to his RevengeMyopia against those who weren't involved in the genocide and not truly caring about his people since he wished their planet back and not his actual race.

* Hody Jones is a Great White Shark Fish-man, former Neptune army soldier and head of the New Fish-Man Pirates. Inspired by the teachings of Fisher Tiger and Arlong, he's a fishman supremacist who was offended by Queen Otohime's attempt to find peace with humans and tried to cause racial tension by hiring a human to burn the signature box, assassinate Otohime [[FalseFlagOperation and frame the human]]. Taking over Fishman Island he planned to execute everyone sympathetic to humanity and devastate the island with the ship Noah. To boost his strength he and his crew had Energy Steroids, which he gulped down by the truckload. Ultimately he was outclassed when going up against Monkey D Luffy and the Straw Hats and the drugs took their toll, rendering his men fragile old shells of their former selves. However his hatred remains the same.
* By all accounts, Hody Jones was destined to rot away in jail as a severely aged, dried up criminal. [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]] had other plans, however; he was interested in using another supremacist to serve the cause of [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil Evil]] and felt spurned when Fisher Tiger flatly denied, since he may hate humans [[EveryoneHasStandards but there are many lines he won't cross in spite of the hatred]]. Hody Jones had ''no'' lines he wouldn't cross and envisions himself as an embodiment of prejudice. Through ties in the Hall of Pantheon/DrugsAndPharmaceuticals he whipped up a drug that could restore Hody to full health, however if he goes into withdrawal he'll start rapidly aging again. It's convenient for the GUAE as it also serves as a proverbial leash on him. Nitrus Bio was made to commission these healing drugs, which he wasn't all that enthused by [[EvenEvilHasStandards as he doesn't like helping a major racist no matter the compensation he gets]].
* Though he hates all humans, he takes special umbridge against the Straw Hats for causing his defeat. Never mind that [[FantasticDrug his abuse of Energy Steroids]] would've guaranteed he could never live long enough to make his vision a reality or that there were plenty of people who would've stopped his plan in its tracks, being devastated by Zoro and later Luffy even in preferable conditions fills him with even more hate. The fact Monkey D Luffy destroyed his Idol Arlong's operations in the East Blue makes him his personal ArchEnemy, and even in a completely frail state demanded a rematch. Noting some similarities, he hates the pirate Jack Sparrow. Within his own 'verse he has major beef with Whitebeard and Big Mom for claiming Fisherman Island as their territory. Whitebeard did so to protect the people of the island from other pirates and Big Mom made a deal to protect it as her territory in return for lots of sweets. Far as he's concerned the island wouldn't need any help from a mere human to protect it unless the humans were his slaves.
* A former follower of Reverend Stryker, and not proud of the fact. Hody Jones ''despises'' humans, and anyone sympathetic to them. This includes other Fishman, who he will give the CategoryTraitor treatment. The reason why he was a follower, though, is because [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence his bigotry was just as hollow and petty as the]] SinisterMinister. He grew up in Fishman District, a run-down and isolated place where sentiments against humanity ran so intensely that Hody was radicalized into someone who would exterminate all humans. [[FreudianExcuseDenial By his own admission humans did nothing to him]], instead he was TaughtToHate. [[DisappointedByTheMotive This is seen as empty and hollow by most]], especially Hody's idol Fisher Tiger. He had a legitimate reason to hate humans, if one he admitted was irrational, yet [[EveryoneHasStandards he would still free them from slavery]] and wouldn't harm an innocent. Hody deludes himself into thinking this is some sort of test by Fisher and that he is being deceived over how he "really" died, and he refuses to listen to Fisher's scathing condemnation over how his treatment of his fellow Fishmen makes him just as bad as the humans who actually deserve his scorn.
* About the only humans he has anything resembling a positive opinion on is so-called "[[FanNickname Not Important]]" and Shinobu Sensui, and that's only because [[MisanthropeSupreme they have a deep hatred for humanity]] [[BoomerangBigot despite being human]]. The latter at least has reasons and clear motives to why he's the way he is, so he's not a fan of Hody. As for the Antagonist, he doesn't work well with anyone but he isn't going out of his way to fight him either. Hody Jones will begrudgingly accept the aid of humans [[BoomerangBigot who despise their own kind]] at least half as much as he does and appreciate what he's doing on some level, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork but just barely]]. Odio isn't all that impressed by him and again, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he has a stronger motive for why he's misanthropic]], but he'll tolerate Hody to a degree. Gulliver, while misanthropic, [[EveryoneHasStandards wouldn't sink to the level of Hody Jones]] and is simply disgusted by him.
* Hody Jones is not the only pantheon resident to have become prejudiced from his environment and teachings, rather than any personal slight. Jojo Betzler used to ''literally'' be a Nazi [[ANaziByAnyOtherName rather than figurative like Hody]], but given his youth he fell more into the InnocentBigot group. The time he spent with the Jewish runaway Elsa changed his worldview and he realized the true evil of the Nazi cause. That someone like Hody could remain so bone-deep in his hatred and never grow out of his ways is something terrible to Jojo. Not that the fishman could care, as he sees him as just another human. To an extent he feels the same to Reverend Stryker and Belos despite their similarities, but he admits that "if they were Fishmen, I might've liked the cut of their jib". Belos doesn't hold any prejudice to Hody in return, but that's because his hatred is more towards witches and demons and he has not been raised to hate fish-men or those like fish-men. As Hody has grander ambitions (read; TakeOverTheWorld) he considers them rivals, both in his goals and to a degree ideologically.
* With the clear as day comparisons between him and Emperor Belos, Luz and Amity ''despise'' him almost as intensely. Hody considers witches no different than humans, so he holds them in contempt almost to the degree Belos does. After all, this is a Fishman who despite not having a genuine reason to hate humans, hates them so much he'll outright sabotage peace attempts and subject humans to slavery, the very sin that would motivate his idol Fisher's prejudices. They've called him just as bad as the worst human persecutors is a concept, which entered one ear and exited the other as he considers any cruelty Fishmen will do to humans to be completely justified, [[NoTrueScotsman and thinks Fishmen who don't agree with them are race traitors]]. He doesn't respect their InterspeciesRomance either, but his hatred of them as humans [[MageSpecies or close enough]] takes precedent. Another group of ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' deities who really hate Hody Jones are Anne Boonchuy and her friends, and the Plantar Family, as they fought against the Core who planned to invade Earth and kill off Humanity so it could stripmine the planet for resources.
* Magneto and the Scarlet Witch are appalled at his bigotry as they both have suffered anti-mutant prejudice. Magneto is especially pissed off at Hody given he's also ''[[GenocideSurvivor a Holocaust survivor]]''...this also ties into Amity's hatred of him, since she narrowly avoided being a GenocideSurvivor as well. Hody tried to call him a {{Hypocrite}} by saying [[NotSoDifferentRemark he's a different breed of]] [[SuperSupremacist supremacist]], however the magnetic mutant is seen by most as morally superior due to [[EvenEvilHasStandards the clear moral limits he has in his cause]] [[PetTheDog and ability to sympathize with other people]]. [[DarkAndTroubledPast Not to mention he actually has a reason for why he's the way he is]] and is capable of changing his own prejudiced ways for the greater good.
* The idea of living in peace with humans sickens him and that Fishmen should take their rightful place as the MasterRace...again, quite Nazi of him. Personally he thinks the Nazi's racial ideology is stupid [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being no different]]. The Red Skull may see him as inferior (though not a complete "untermensch") but he holds some respect for his vision of spreading hate and dedication to do whatever it takes to achieve his vision. Hody may hate him for being human, but he was entranced by the reach of HYDRA and has been inspired to form his own organization to spread his cause. HYDRA ignores him as [[TheCaligula he's overly reckless whenever he gets a bit of power]], and his supremacist views do not match any of their member's supremacists views. Hody has also been compared to a card-carrying member of the KKK, a comparison that annoys Col. Benjamin Cameron. It's a fair comparison as outside of racism many actual KKK members joined the military almost solely to get the abilities to better persecute members of other races. What bothers him is that he would never treat his own race as badly as Hody has in the name of his own racist ideology.
* Draco Malfoy and Sirius Black come from families with long-standing bigotry, with Draco's dad having been a Death Eater. As an adult Draco has fortunately matured and first hand learned how bad supremacy can get. Sirius never was bigoted, and he ended up being disinherited because of it. They're quite disappointed in Hody Jones for letting his racist ideology make him the worst version of himself, comparing him to Voldemort. Voldemort considers the comparison insulting, but that's more down to being significantly more competent than Hody [[SmugSnake despite his notorious arrogance]]. [[FantasticRacism He considers Fishmen dirty]] though not to the extent of his hatred for Muggles and muggleborn[[note]]despite, or perhaps because [[BoomerangBigot his father was a Muggle]][[/note]]. He would consider hiring him as he did [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Fenrir]] however Hody refuses to be subservient to a human and he has his own goals that'd probably conflict with the Death Eaters. Personally he doesn't get Voldemort's own prejudices against Muggles or muggle-born, but that's down to seeing all types of human as equally inferior to one another.
* Freeing his men wasn't a condition getting him into the Trope Pantheon. [[BadBoss Not that he cares enough to bring it up]], as he can always find new allies. Though he believes fishmen are the MasterRace, he sees other non-humans as better than humans and worthy enough to be proper allies instead of slaves. There could be an element of pragmatism there, but he has also found likeminded non-humans who hold contempt towards ''homo sapiens''. One of the few he calls a friend in the Trope Pantheon is Koba, as the two are quite alike; driven in their vendetta against human beings, but prove deeply hypocritical, having little to no problem with killing even their own kind. While it is true that Koba has reasons to hate humanity unlike Hody, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it's not like it justifies them]]. Hody Jones is an ally of the Dark Dragon due to shared supremacist hatred of humans, but it's more of an alliance of convenience between them.
* As a humanoid great white shark with a real mean streak, Hody is rather fond of Bruce. Being a regular shark (if an abnormally aggressive one), Bruce is incapable of normal alliances, however Hody is able to "tame" him to a certain extent. He's figured out the right chum mix, which unfortunately includes whatever unfortunate human he managed to kill. The pirahnas in the Hall of Pantheon/{{Fish}} are other animals the Fish-Man wants to make his pets in hopes of taming them. Personally he thinks the Kraken is really cool for all the human ships it has sunk, but he's smart enough to realize that it would not distinguish his own ship from human ships so this is more a "from a glance" respect. Another sea beast he's fond of is Moby-Dick, sympathizing with its vendetta with whalers and legend. Well OK, "sympathize" might be too strong a word from him, but it's close enough. He was intrigued but also revolted to learn about Susie Haltmann, who first encountered by Kirby in Overload Ocean; the mechanized version of Planet Popstar's Olive/Orange Ocean, complete with mechanized sea life, including mechanized sharks. [[BileFascination Though he considers it an abomination, he is also intrigued]]
* Hody Jones considers fishmen to not just be humanoid fish like himself, but mermaids. Merfolk like Orm, however, he puts on a lower racial ranking as they are bit too human for his likings, however he doesn't hold radical hatred towards them like he does "true" humans. He does hate Aquaman on a racial basis though, as he is mixed blood between an Atlantean queen and normal human lighthouse worker, a loving match that runs antithetical to his worldview. Basically he considers his mother a race traitor and Aquaman an abomination, only to get slapped across the room by Aquaman for his horrible views. Namor approved of this, as while he has a complicated, often fraught relationship with surface dwellers he would never sink to the lows of Hody. Orm detests Hody too, [[EvenEvilHasStandards as he has standards to his radical views]]. The Atlantean Lucier has told Hody to piss off due to his racist views, however he still yells at him for being pretty buddy-buddy with humans even past the whole mutual struggle against dragonkind, and considers his {{Demihuman}} status to be ''barely'' any better than human. As for what he thinks of the Deep, he thinks he's a mutant freak and "mongrel man-fish". While the Deep isn't popular, being a self-pitying [[CastingCouch celebrity sex]] [[SerialRapist offender]] [[BestialityIsDepraved with a fish fetish]], he would never be as violent or hateful as Hody [[EvenEvilHasStandards and is deeply reluctant to do anything that'd amount to treason]].
* His ultimate goal is to take on the World Government, enslave all humanity and become Pirate King. Having never been to the surface, he's got the idea that a force of 100,000 pill-popping underlings is enough to take them on and has no idea how out of his depth he is. Well, maybe more like was, since being part of the Trope Pantheon he is aware of powerful beings who if he can tame, could help him legitimately take on the World Government. [[SmallNameBigEgo And yet he has gotten it into his head that]] he can one day rule ''the Trope Pantheon''. This new big scheme was first to get the support of Rahab and the Deep Sea King. In fairness, this ended up working as they both hold contempt for humanity and a preference for sea life, so Hody Jones is welcome to hang out and support them. Then he decided to try and control Kyogre in order to flood the world for Fishmen to inherit and humanity to be enslaved or perish...that was a lot less successful. The legendary was surprised to see Archie personally confront Hody for his hateful ways despite his history. Archie wanted to expand the seas for the sake of Pokemon, but he doesn't hate his fellow man and repented when he realized [[GoneHorriblyRight the sea levels would rise beyond what he hoped for]].
* Hody Jones is hoping to radicalize fellow aquatic deities into his way of thinking. His current targets are the Gill-Man and members of Bikini Bottom, funnily enough. Since the latter's residents barely, if ever interacts with (or is even aware of the existence of) humans they had no idea what they were saying. He pointed to the terrifying monster, the Cyclops, [[HumansAreCthulhu being human]]. [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Spongebob]] was clueless at all this since he met Creator/DavidHasselhoff and doesn't get why Hody is so hateful. Hody wants to push for King Triton to agree with his views, however he and Ariel are disgusted by his actions. Yes Triton wasn't fond of surface dwellers for some time because they were responsible for his wife's death, but he has come to tolerate them and never behaved as atrociously as Hody. Hody considers his change of views to be a great loss, and he feels the same with the Dracula from Hotel Transylvania. While the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' Dracula is more in line with his hatred towards humans, he is annoyed by how arrogant and hollow Hody's hatred is.
* In spite of these failures, one piscine deity ended up allying with him; Joe. He seeks to overthrow humanity with hyper-intelligent fish thanks to an intelligence potion (also an antidote from being turned into a fish). He even convinced Hitchcocks' Birds to side with him over a mutual hatred of humans, though the avians are more interesting in revenge against birds being killed than racism. However, Hody was upset discovering the effect of Joe's potion on Fishmen; it enhanced their intelligence, but it made already the anthropomorphic Fishmen closer to ''human''. Full consumption would turn a Fishman fully human, which they would survive so long as they're not underwater since Fishmen are technically amphibious, and enhance their normal human-level intellect to that of a super-genius. As much as a potential benefit this has Hody Jones absolutely refuses to let it be used and is terrified [[ColorMeBlack someone will use it on him]]. He'll try to avoid the human transformation first, though.
* His biggest dream in radicalization is to convince Poseidon, Greek god of the seas, that humans are scum and [[FinalSolution should all be drowned]] or [[MadeASlave or enslaved]]. Poseidon does have times where he actually agrees to a certain extent with Hody, [[Manga/SaintSeiya such as thinking they were destroying the planet]]. However he considers this mindset an OldShame and while mercurial and at times cruel, he regards Hody Jones' views as "racist garbage" and has told him to shoe instead of risk incurring his wrath. He has attempted to radicalize "less difficult" figures like Monstro and Golganneth. The former he sees as a powerful monster he can tame, however Monstro ignored this as the whale doesn't have the capacity to even care about prejudices and treats Fishmen and humans equally as potential food. The latter sees him as an insignificant dust mote, as just because he's a god of seas and skies doesn't mean he cares about his ideologies. He tried to reach out towards Greta of the Reverberation Ensemble due to being a vicious shark woman but learning she WasOnceAMan turned him off. She just thinks his human hatred and supremacy talk is irrelevant, instead wondering what he'd taste like after being sufficiently tortured and cooked to perfection.
* While he is mainly an enemy with heroic pirates, there are also some pretty evil pirates he butts heads with. As much as Orm and especially Arthur Curry hate him, they also think his hatred of Black Manta is completely understandable. David Hyde is a man who would poison the entire ocean [[EvilIsPetty to hurt Aquaman]], infamous [[WouldHurtAChild murdered his baby boy]] and if he's not a total [[TheSociopath sociopath]] he's damn close to it. Far as Hody is concerned he's a walking, talking argument against humanity, something Black Manta laughs at [[CardCarryingVillain as he agrees with many of his accusations]] [[AtLeastIAdmitIt but in that way he's not pretentious]] like Hody. Another pirate, one easily as bad as him that he feuds with, is Euron Greyjoy. Euron is a wannabe {{Ubermensch}} sea farer with a grandiose vision, but he's considerably more [[AxCrazy man]][[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ic]] than Hody. He thinks Hody's supremacist ideology is stupid and his vision [[GodhoodSeeker of aspiring to something like the Drowned God]] (except not quite like because he actually thinks it's a stupid concept for a god), and enjoys taunting him that he has not seen the world as he has.
* He hasn't really considered aliens in his worldview, since while the setting of ''Manga/OnePiece'' is a WorldOfWeirdness outside of some funky things happening [[{{Lunarians}} on the moon]] there's no recorded aliens. [[AliensAreBastards And many aliens who want to get rid of humans]] wouldn't see Fishmen as much different. The VUX want to kill humans [[DisproportionateRetribution because]] [[HumansAreUgly they find them unfathomably ugly]]. They do not care for Fishman supremacy, musing that they "look marginally more tolerable than humans", but Hody respects their hatred of humans all the same. He also respects the hatred Octogeddon has towards humans, due to how he will [[MonumentalDamage tear apart their monuments]] [[DisproportionateRetribution over slight offenses]]. The massive cephalopod doesn't care for his respect since it may be petty, but it's not nearly as racist as Hody.
* Some aliens took note of his hatred and had a more positive outlook...Frieza and Baby. Frieza committed genocide on the Saiyans out of fear that they would overthrow them, though nowadays he's less racist and though no less sociopathic he accepts [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Goku]] as a WorthyOpponent. As such, Hody is more an amusing relic to him, one that he tolerates and likes his spirit, but is otherwise ambivalent to him and his supremacist views since he doesn't care about racial supremacy more so than [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]]. Baby holds more respect as he has a raging hatred towards the Saiyans. Granted, the Saiyans actually did make his people suffer however the parasite [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse voids any sympathy he could get]] due to his RevengeMyopia against those who weren't involved in the genocide and not truly caring about his people since he wished their planet back and not his actual race.
