History Pantheon / Insects

'''[[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Fritz von Meyer]], God of [[BeeBeeGun BEES]]''' (Swarm)

** Leif: [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} The Scorpion and the Tarantula]] (to an extent, applies to Vi and Kabbu as well), [[Pantheon/{{Science}} Professor Hojo]], [[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} Fabius Bile]], [[Pantheon/{{Mouths}} Gold-Toothed Doctor]], [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Tenebrae, Alex Wesker, Voldemort]], [[Pantheon/{{Entitlement}} Shou Tucker]], and pretty much anyone else who [[PlayingWithSyringes experiments on others against their own will]] and[=/=]or [[ImmortalityImmorality commits atrocities]] for the sake of {{immortality|Seeker}}, the Terraformars

** Given the fact that he was trapped in the spider's web for decades [[spoiler:and was actually eaten by its owner]], and also had a NearDeathExperience with the Dune Scorpion stinging him in the back, he ends up being wary of most arachnids in the Pantheon. As such, he tends to stay away from the House of Pantheon/{{Arthropods}}. While most gods of the House are feral at best or outright evil at worst, and more than happy to express their desire to eat him, either genuinely finding him to be a decent snack or just ForTheEvulz, Drapion, on the other hand, is sympathetic to Leif's plight, and tends to leave him alone. Charlotte is still a fair game, though. However, Leif's relationship is much more hostile with [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} the Scorpion and the Tarantula]], as both try to kill him (and, by extention, the rest of Team Snakemouth) for food. Of course, given that Team Snakemouth is used to fighting predatory spiders and scorpions, they are more than capable of fighting two arachnids off.

** Leif: [[Pantheon/GenderSexMiscellaneous Artoria]] [[Pantheon/{{Monarchs}} Pendragon]], [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} Joel and Ellie]], [[Pantheon/NecromancyAndReanimation Foo Fighters]], [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Philip J. Fry]]

** While he tries to hide the fact that [[spoiler:he's actually a cordyceps fungus inhabiting the long-dead Leif's body]] from everyone, and does a pretty good job at that, but the information does end up getting leaked, though fortunately, very few find out the truth. The first who found out of Leif's condition were [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} Joel and Ellie]], [[spoiler:who dealt with a plenty of cordyceps zombies in their life. Hearing that another cordyceps zombie had arrived into the Pantheon in the Hall of Insects, they braced themselves for the worst. However, they both calmed down when they learned that the zombie in question was just a tiny moth, who was not only non-hostile, but sapient and perfectly healthy as far as victims of cordyceps infestation go, and [[FriendlyZombie quite friendly at that]].]] Another one who learned of Leif's secret was [[Pantheon/NecromancyAndReanimation Foo Fighters]], [[spoiler:who is also an organism that possesses a dead body, just like Leif. However, unlike Leif, Foo Fighters does not share the same memories, name and personality with her host Atroe, and does not identify as her. Even then, they all still remain sympathetic to Leif's plight and are supportive of his decision to continue upholding the original Leif's legacy by living on under his identity.]]

* Allies: [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Godzilla]], Mothra, Rodan, [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Anguirus]], [[Pantheon/{{Despondency}} Korra]], [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Baragon, Aang, Amaterasu, Captain Planet, Mogo]], [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Naruto Uzumaki]], [[Pantheon/NaturePreservers Fluttershy]], [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Ichigo Kurosaki]], [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Usagi Tsukino]], [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]], [[Pantheon/InternalPowerSources HappinessCharge Pretty Cure]], [[Pantheon/{{Fairies}} Tinker Bell]], [[Pantheon/{{Arthropods}} Agitha]], [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures Volcarona]], [[Pantheon/HolyAuthorityAndPower Guthix]], many of the children deities

* They initially tended to stay away from [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Shantae]], given that her status as a BellyDancer reminded them of an unfortunate incident from their homeworld when Kabbu was put under thrall by pheromones of a belly-dancing silkmoth seamstress called Kali, who forced him to fight Vi and Leif against his own will [[DisproportionateRetribution all because Vi broke her vase on accident]] by sneezing from her previous set of healing pheromones. When Shantae finally learned why a trio of insects avoids her (some time after she became aware of their existence), she assured them that they have nothing to fear, as she's not that short-tempered, and even criticized Kali's actions. Eventually, her kind-hearted and friendly nature allowed her to win Kabbu's trust, though Vi and Leif still feel very uneasy around her.

* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Power}} Elpizo]], [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Dr. Weil]], [[Pantheon/AIPersonalities Omega]]

* Allies: '''[[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]], [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Mara]] and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfChaos''', the other Beelzebub, ''the other'' [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Beelzebub]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Naoki Kashima]], [[Pantheon/{{Metafiction}} Kazuya Minegishi and Hibiki Kuze]], [[Pantheon/SupportMagic Makoto Yuki]], [[Pantheon/GameCharacters Kotone Shiomi]], [[Pantheon/{{Family}} Yu Narukami]], [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Ren Amamiya]], [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Dracula]], [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Gul'dan]], [[Pantheon/ReligiousFigures Fraudrin]], [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Nurgle]], [[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} Typhus]], [[Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel Beelzemon]], [[Pantheon/NamingIdentification Beetlejuice]], '''[[Pantheon/NamingReferences Stratos]]'''

* No one has dared ask him if he has a devil put aside for [[Pantheon/{{Music}} Freddie Mercury]]. Or how he responds to Ren, under SpaceMadness, threatening to lick a fly. That was too weird even for Beelzebub, and he initially thought that Ren Hoek was some sort of malformed mosquito.

* Uneasy With: [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles Oogie Boogie]], [[Pantheon/{{Music}} Corey Taylor]], [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Nurgle]]

** During his travel across the Pantheon, he discovered that [[Pantheon/{{Music}} Corey Taylor]]'s fans call themselves "maggots". To him, this ended up being a huge source of confusion, as he had no idea whether they use the term in derogative manner of SelfDeprecation or in the proud manner as AppropriatedAppellation, and didn't know how to feel about it: should he feel mad or be proud that they use the term in a kinda positive way. He spent hours thinking about it, but instead of figuring out the answer all he managed to achieve was giving himself a headache. Eventually, he chose not to think too hard about it and preferred to leave Corey and his fans alone for the time being.
