| 21 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]], [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor The Green Lantern Corps]]''' and [[Pantheon/DCComics all their friends]], the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfMachines (most of them at least), [[Pantheon/{{Hats}} Linkara]], [[Pantheon/OtherRelatives The Fantastic Four]], [[Pantheon/{{Terminator}} John Connor and allies]], [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Galactus]], [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]], [[Pantheon/CelestialBodiesAndStars the Grox]], [[Pantheon/HeroicAppearances Axl]], [[Pantheon/OtherPowers X]], [[Pantheon/AntiVillains Bizarro]] |
| 22 | * SympathyForTheHero: [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Fujiwara no Mokou, Suzaku Kururugi]] |
| 23 | * Hank Henshaw was once an astronaut who was part of the doomed Excalibur mission with his wife and two of his friends. A solar flare mutated them horribly and ultimately led to their deaths. Though his body disintegrated, Henshaw's mind survived and learned to control machines. After all of this, Henshaw had gained a delusional belief that Superman was somehow responsible for his woes, [[FromNobodyToNightmare and the ability to inhabit technology that could match the Man of Steel]]. |
| 24 | * Possesses an IrrationalHatred of the Man of Steel that surpasses even Lex Luthor's. As the solar flare was indirectly caused by Superman throwing the Eradicator into the sun, he thinks Superman should be held responsible. During the time he has dead, Henshaw managed to create a cyborg clone of him and posed as him BackFromTheDead, to ruin his reputation by strong-arming Mongul into working for him, bombing Central City and planning to lay waste to the planet. Naturally, he has often been in conflict with the Green Lantern Corps as well. |
| 25 | * Recognized some commonality with Zamasu, specifically his Goku Black component. They both despised a hero, eventually leading them to become homicidal maniacs who stole the visage of that hero. While the Cyborg-Superman is willing to work with the mad Kai, it is only to achieve their mutual vengeance, as Henshaw doesn't trust Zamasu and while Zamasu thinks he is a useful tool in his Zero Mortals Plan he is still a dangerous mortal not to be trusted either. Though they both consider how it could ultimately benefit them both if they actually succeed, where Henshaw would likely allow himself to be included among the mortals destroyed. |
| 26 | * The GUAM requested he be banned from the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology, due to being a dangerous and deranged technopath. Namely they were afraid he would try to hijack them and that house, having once notably controlled an entire planet's population of machines(though not without considerable strain on his part). The Grox have banned him for ever getting close lest he hijack them and discover the many secrets of their cybernetics and other technological marvels. |
| 27 | * Decided to try and control Axl and X. Axl was because his abilities to shapeshift and copy other machines would be incredibly useful, X because of his unlimited potential and weapon copy abilities. His "Cyborg Superman" self being but a physical shell, his consciousness managed to hijack a Reploid to do his bidding. In this body he met Sigma, who agreed to a mutual alliance in order to deal with both of their enemies. Of course the two don't trust each other and are waiting for the opportunity to try and override each other's programming. Since Henshaw [[WasOnceAMan was a living being]], it is unclear what will happen if they try. Most don't want it to get that far. |
| 28 | * A prior crossover alliance showed up with SKYNET. It is hard to deny a Terminator homage with the Cyborg-Superman, and during the time Superman and the Terminator crossed over the Cyborg formed a cross-time alliance with SKYNET. Of course now SKYNET is much more aware that the alliance is going to be a volatile one due to Henshaw's insanity. Linkara once riffed on the first issue, and it was when his arch-enemy Mechakara first appeared. Naturally, he was apprehensive of Henshaw's ascension. |
| 29 | * One hell of a DeathSeeker, though as Doomsday found out he dies on ''his'' terms. The Cyborg-Superman is one of the very few allies of the Anti-Monitor since he promised to kill Hank Henshaw, and has promised again to help Henshaw find oblivion so long as he follows orders. He served the Sinestro Corps for a time as part of this endeavor, though Sinestro has stated he has no further use of the Cyborg. |
| 30 | * Sought out the GUAD for the sole purpose of having them help him die, [[OmnicidalManiac even if it means everything else must]]. He had tried to get Nekron's attention during the Blackest Night, but as he had no heart he and the Black Lanterns couldn't even sense him. That is more or less true now, but various living deities serving destruction's cause have served as interpreters of the Cyborg Superman. Henshaw supposes there is an irony in the only beings who sought out what Nekron was offering were ignored by him. |
| 31 | * Though they absolutely want nothing to do with him, Henshaw feels some pity towards Fujiwara no Mokou for wanting death, [[CompleteImmortality yet being completely incapable of doing so]]. Or Suzaku Kururugi [[ICannotSelfTerminate for not being able to end his own life]]. He deeply relates to Albedo Piazzolla given their similar immortal condition and wanting to die, along with being AxCrazy. |
| 32 | * Sees himself as [[Pantheon/BodyAbsence Captain Ahab]] and Superman as his white whale. He hates Superman so badly that [[ComicBook/DCRebirth he deliberately used a magic space stone to turn himself back into the Cyborg Superman]], [[RevengeBeforeReason even when he had the chance to have a normal life]]. Given what he's done, Captain Ahab was rather disturbed by the comparison. |
| 33 | * Recognized [[CommonalityConnection a similarity between his crew and the Fantastic Four]], though their fate were far more pleasant. Naturally, things went south in the Fantastic Four-Superman crossover. |

| 50 | ** Other Enemies: The House of Pantheon/{{Angels}}, [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Guts]], Velvet Crowe, [[Pantheon/MindGames Faust]], '''Adventurers''' |
| 51 | * OddFriendship: [[Pantheon/MannersOfAuthority Alarak]], [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Murky]] |
| 52 | * Dul'Mephistos, also known as Mephisto, is one of the three Prime Evils of the world of Sanctuary, the Lord of Hatred and the elder brother of both Diablo and Baal. He is the most cunning of the three and an expert manipulator who has given the demons of the Burning Hells an edge in the Eternal Conflict. He is fueled by [[ThePowerOfHate Hatred]] and has contempt for every single living creature, but he prioritizes angel and humans over other demons since he is smart enough to work with others for a common goal. His arrival to the pantheon was heralded by his two brothers reuniting and personally receiving him. With all the Prime Evils in the pantheon, nothing will stop them from taking over the place for their own. |
| 53 | * Was delighted to find out his asigned temple was the House of Pantheon/HatredAndRancor itself. He could easily be one of the leading deities of the house considering how common the feeling of contempt is present but he decided to stay out of the spotlight to avoid attention. His hatred is equal for all living beings, even his closest friends and allies, but he is smart enough to not let that hatred prevent him from making alliances. |
| 54 | * Amused by the presence of the Lesser Evils, Azmodan and Belial in particular. Mephisto is keeping an eye on them since he hasn't forgotten about the time they banished him and his brothers to Sanctuary and they often butt heads with them. There is also the fact that Mephisto was the one that taught Belial everything he knows, [[BastardUnderstudy of course you know how well Belial reciprocated to his master]]. |
| 55 | * Not impressed by the strong presence of angelic deities. Of course, he hates them all, especially the Angels from Sanctuary who Mephisto has been at war since the dawn of time and considering that the angelic forces are much more numerous this time, he has been trying to device new ways to get rid of them. |
| 56 | ** Of course, there is an exception for Mephisto and that would be the Archangel of Hope Auriel. He believes that hope is the only virtue without purpose, otherwise suffering and, by extension, hatred would not exist. Auriel feels nothing but disgust when it comes to Mephisto but the Lord of Hatred himself seeks to corrupt her and drive the archangel to his side. |
| 57 | * He is aware that his name is quite common for demons, as shown when he met the other Mephisto. While the Lord of Hatred is not flattered by the constant confusion, he nevertheless was interested in allying himself with the Prince of Lies since his powers and cunning rivals his own and he could be a great asset for the total corruption of the Pantheon and the fight against the Angels. |
| 58 | ** Speaking of Mephistopheles, Faust utterly despises Mephisto even if he is not the same aforementioned demon, since he screwed faust over their deal and made his life miserable. Mephisto was only bemused by it, he doesn't mind someone hating him, as long as that happens he will only get stronger. |
| 59 | * Of course, his ascension did bring the attention of the Nephalem, the misbegotten spawn of his daughter Lilith with the angel Inarius and they did take action against Mephisto and his brothers once more to prevent them from corrupting the pantheon. However, he holds the most contempt to Deckard Cain, a member of the group that imprisoned him, and the mortal adventurers that slayed him, particularly the Necromancer Xul. |
| 60 | ** And speaking of adventurers, if they ever come accross him, he will not hesitate to kill them. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Over and over and over again]]. He hates them ''[[BerserkButton that much]]''. |
| 61 | * As if it wasn't obvious, those who are powered by Hatred delights him ([[HatesEveryoneEqually Of course, he still hates them anyway]]). He has paid special attention to Guts and Velvet Crowe, two deities whose hatred [[ThePowerOfHate define and empower them]] and their mere presence makes the Lord of Hatred that much more powerful. Both are not stranger to dealing with creatures like Mephisto but since his domain is tied to their powers, they try to minimize the amount of Hatred they feel, even if that little hate still empowers the demon lord. |
| 62 | * Mephisto made a surprise entrance into the [[Videogame/HeroesOfTheStorm Nexus]], deciding to aid his brother Diablo in the conquering of the many realms inhabiting and to spread his hatred. However, he found himself making two unlikely allies. The Highlord of the Tal'darim Protoss Alarak has heard of the demon before and [[VillainRespect has shown a rather surprising amount of respect for Mephisto]] while the latter is aroused by the sheer amount of hatred the Tal'darim harness. The other more unorthodox ally was Murky, [[KillerRabbit whose sheer hatred and desire for revenge earned the attention of Mephisto almost instantly]]. |
| 63 | * His physical appearance tends to differ from time to time but the body he possesses is not his own. [[DemonicPossession He possessed the body of Zankekur]], a Zakarum priest and twisted it beyond recognition to the point that it barely resembles a human skeleton. Sometimes he adds a little meat to his body, nobody is sure why he does that. |
| 64 | * All those who serve and protect life are some of the deities that he loathes the most and seeks to cull them all. In return, the sheer aura of corruption that Mephisto represent has made him one of the prime enemies for the protectors of life but they do know that hatred only makes him stronger so they only focus on dealing him when absolutely necessary |

| 82 | * After years of following Dracula, he finally grew sick of his father's evil and cruel methods and finally broke out on his own. Currently on a crusade to free the other vampires following Dracula. |
| 83 | * In his crusade, he was joined by Rachel Alucard, on basis that she's bored and for the lulz, she playfully proclaim herself Alucard's sister. Alucard never minded.... until Rachel noted the emergence of Terumi and Alucard found out that his House's name was struck out and [[{{Troll}} be replaced with "House of Shitty Vampires" by Terumi]]. That being said, Alucard has taken extra caution on that man. |
| 84 | ** This relationship and teamwork continued, even after Rachel was elevated. In exchange of him agreeing to keep an eye on Terumi, Rachel also agrees to keep an eye on Dracula. |
| 85 | * He and the Dovahkiin are on good terms, and sometimes work together, as the Dovahkiin's close friend Serana is a nice girl who [[IHateYouVampireDad was turned into a Vampire Lord by her abusive father for his own ends]]. |
| 86 | * There has been recent rumors that the same title of Alucard was held by a certain [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadowMirrorOfFate Trevor Belmont]]]]. This has confused Adrian, because as he knew of, [[spoiler:Trevor]] is always a good friend of his, not himself. For that end, he arranged a recommendation to bring two of his original friends, Trevor Belmont and his wife Sypha Belnades, to the Pantheon in order to clear this confusion. They succeeded as well recovering their [[DemotedToExtra missing final member, Grant]] after he was enslaved by [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Davy Jones]]. |
| 87 | ** [[spoiler:That said, when he heard that the Alucard of the alternate universe succeeded in doing what the main one had always dreamed of; redeeming his father, Trevor said he smiled the most genuine smile he's ''ever'' seen Alucard wear]]. |
| 88 | * Unknown to many of his more recent followers, Alucard wasn't always this good looking. [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060422222122/castlevania/images/8/80/Cv3_alucard.jpg This]] is how he used to look and for the safety of his followers (in case they end up feeling betrayed because of his looks), Alucard usually hides this image and only shows it to his followers that he deems not judging Gods by their looks only. |
| 89 | * He always held the philosophy of "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing", thus he's just as workaholic, just like the Belmonts, in fighting evil. However, Alucard is aware that there are some who would use his slogan in a KnightTemplar way, condemning some AntiVillain in process. He's not too pleased when he hears people doing so and dragging his slogan for it. |
| 90 | * During the whole Morality Civil War, Alucard's relations with Rachel was strained due to her suddenly using the aforementioned slogan to put down Litchi Faye-Ling for not doing as she suggested. Fortunately Alucard managed to get a wind that something was amiss and possessed Rachel and worked his way to free her from that something's influence, and reminding her that this wouldn't be the way to honor the efforts of her friend Ragna the Bloodedge. After helping her come to her senses, they once again rekindle their 'sibling' relations. |
| 91 | * Is not in good terms with [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Remilia Scarlet]], due of his father having captured her for a long time. Even after Alucard apologized his father's actions and promised that he is different from him, Remilia's pride was too shattered to let it pass. |
| 92 | * While he is still very wary around the Lord of Shadows' Dracula, Gabriel Belmont, he's more then willing to give the newly redeemed vampire a chance. |
| 93 | * Has noticed [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu similar vocal ranges]] between him and [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms historical figure]] [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Sima]] [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Shi]], especially with portraits of them done by the one and only Ayami Kojima of all people. |
| 94 | * Has a very awkward relationship with [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Soma Cruz]] and his friend Mina Hakuba, considering that Alucard is now technically older than his own (reincarnated) father and mother. Alucard tends to be overprotective of Soma since he doesn't want him to go back to his old ways, but other than this their relationship is at least functional. |
| 95 | * Can also be found in Pantheon/{{Vampires}}. |

| 112 | * Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Lord Dominator]] |
| 113 | * Special Relationship: '''[[Pantheon/{{Voices}} The Delightful Children From Down The Lane]]''' |
| 114 | * Here is the story of a father who started off as a terrifying villain and yet takes a [[VillainDecay fall from grace]]. His first few encounters with the Kids Next Door showed the GUAE how threatening he can be. Already a deadly pyrokinetic, he also proved to be a cunning adversary. All of this was destroyed with the arrival of his ''own'' father, who promptly took over his own organization upon his arrival. Even when Grandfather was ultimately defeated, he played no part in his redemption. That prompted the GUAE to oust the man from the Pantheon. After some years, it was decided their initial ruling was harsh, with his accomplishments showing he was still a threat even to the end. Thus, his original title was reinstated. Now, he gets to exact revenge on all children in the Pantheon. |
| 115 | * This re-ascension came over the objections of Numbah One and his teammates. They did not want to have to deal with a deified version of himself once again. With their opposition rejected, the crew have no choice but to declare battle-stations to take on their old foe. |
| 116 | * He returns with a bit of help this time. His kids the Delightful Children from Down The Lane had ascended in his absence and were keeping the Kids Next Door busy on his behalf. He briefly thanked them for keeping the seat warm before taking over once more. It is difficult to tell whether he likes his own children (though they may well be the only ones he would ever like). |
| 117 | * His temple is completely off limits to any snot-nosed brat within 200 feet of the premises. He promised to burn alive any child who violates his policy, even those who pose no threat to him. |
| 118 | * Bart and Dennis saw his ascension as their personal mission to annoy the living hell out of Father. It's one target the majority in the Pantheon wouldn't mind the two go after. Two two can be seen launching water balloons and eggs at his temple lawn. Father is planning to hit back at them tenfold. |
| 119 | * The Dimensional Counterparts also have a personal beef, with Father reminding them of Professor Leo Akaba except the professor was a WellIntentionedExtremist. Father merely hates children and seeks to ''correct'' them into beings that he can tolerate. Yet that would be a fight that may not end in his favor; he is unfamiliar with the game of Duel Monsters and would unlikely be able to defeat their strongest cards on his own. |
| 120 | * Procured an uneasy alliance among the evil-teenagers on the Pantheon. They have helped him back on his world and was ready to ask for their assistance once more. Still, not all of them agreed to do so, and there were a few who proved to be just as annoying as children. |
| 121 | * Thought that Yoshino would be easy picks to beat. While she was initially afraid of his flames, a few stray hits with her cold powers was enough to knock him out. He has since stated that she got lucky, but the LOL Rangers pointed out that he has yet to demand a rematch, calling him a coward. |
| 122 | * Relius Clover remains as one of his closest allies, even during his exile. The [[ArchnemesisDad Antagonistic Father]] took over the spot for evil dads until Father made his return. With his return, the two can now pool their clergy to wreak havoc upon kids. |
| 123 | * Has received a strong reaction among other fathers in the Pantheon. Virtually all good-aligned fathers outright booed his reintroduction into the Pantheon. There were especially strong objections from Bryan Mills and Anakin Skywalker. Bryan was disgusted with Father's contempt towards children, which went against his philosophy of saving loved ones. Anakin felt the need to take care of his children even as Darth Vader. He could not accept someone who hated children as so and wondered how Father treated his own kids. |
| 124 | ** As a matter of fact, Father retorted that he actually ''likes'' them. He sees the Delightful Children as the prime example of what every kid should be like. And if they refuse... he won't be opposed to turning them to adults, animals or something even worse that that. |
| 125 | ** There are many superheroes who have a rather soft spot when it comes to taking care of children. This is especially true for Batman and Superman, both of which have children of their own. The World's Finest are not fans of him at all. |
| 126 | ** Any alliance with the villain Bowser is one with one eye open at all times. Bowser has a son of his own who he takes care of. And while Bowser Jr. can be annoying at times, the elder would never go so far as to brainwash him like what Father did to his children. |
| 127 | ** [[EvenEvilHasStandards Yet even he won't go so far as to experiment on his own children]]. While Professor's fascination for genetic engineering seemed promising, Father suspects that the scientist merely wants to put him in a lid for testing. |
| 128 | ** Bondrewd is another scientist that is simply too [[BlueAndOrangeMorality batshit insane]] for Father to consider an ally. That scientist wouldn't also mind taking a look at the Delightful Children. |
| 129 | * Not everyone thinks he should return. Lord Dominator has been masterful at tearing down villains emotionally and she quickly went to work on Father, stating how pathetic it was that he never got to stand up to his own father. While it was clear that those words stung him, Father has managed to steel himself from her attacks. |

| 150 | * So, an up-and-coming assassin who fights his way to the number 1 spot of the United Assassins Association kills the CEO of Pizza Butt and his two sons so that he could earn extra cash to buy a bunch of shirts, some wrestling and anime [=DVDs=] and enlist in the next ranking battle. Three years later, there happens to be a third son, who manages to take the company, rename it to Pizza Bat and dominate the commercial industry in Santa Destroy and eventually become the top assassin of the UAA. Above all, he desires revenge on Travis Touchdown for killing his family, so he decides to hire some goons to kill Travis's best friend, Bishop "Sidaks", while Travis was busy fighting against another assassin and reenters the UAA in 51st place. |
| 151 | * Jasper Batt Jr. is not like your typical CorruptCorporateExecutive, and that's not even in a critically complimentary style. He's a scrawny PsychopathicManchild whose appearance and demeanour simply comes off as laughable and obnoxious. Sure, Travis was evidently furious when they met, but that look and personality hides something even more sinister... and frustrating. It's there where Jasper really demonstrates why he's the UAA's top-ranked assassin, and [[ThatOneBoss people hate him for that]]. |
| 152 | ** Still, Travis managed to kill Jasper and exact his revenge... except there was nothing to really gain out from it ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking maybe not even]] [[InvertedTrope freeing Santa Destroy from his control]]). At the end of the day, revenge just seems pointless. And with the route he took, Travis instead took to fixating himself on targeting the UAA for their corrupt business practices which involved ruining people's lives and vows to one day dismantle the Association... |
| 153 | * When Jasper ascended into the Pantheon, he threw a hissy-fit for not being able to defeat Travis, despite having most of the advantage to his side during his fights. He was even more pissed to see that Pizza Bat also went down with him and that without his company, he pretty much has nowhere to go. |
| 154 | ** While Jasper is normally associated under the Unpopularity Sub-House, even there, he's barely welcome with only fellow {{Hate Sink}}s being able to tolerate him. Instead, he just heads off to the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} where he's struck a deal with Mr Burns in an effort to revive Pizza Bat to its former glory. It's a slow start, but Jasper is making sure he'll get there. |
| 155 | * Jasper is... [[HateSink not liked at all]] by many. It's not enough that the guy is a smarmy [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]] who boasts about how he was able to take over the commercial district of Santa Destroy, but he's also very vainglorious and prideful about his position. His voice isn't helping matters either and some people just want to make him shut up. |
| 156 | ** He's easily one of the most hated beings in the Pantheon, what with many people proclaiming that he less a challenge and more someone who cheats his way to the top with a series of moves that are almost guaranteed to hit. Some even took to comparing his unpopularity to Zamasu, who himself had nothing to offer to Jasper beyond just being "another mortal insect" to his eyes. [[LesserOfTwoEvils Others went as far to agree with this.]] |
| 157 | ** Yuuki Terumi finds his battle against Travis to be an example of epic trolling, given how people got turned off by Jasper's incredibly cheap moveset and for his obnoxious attitude, though Terumi States Jasper isn't better than him when it comes to pissing people off. Jasper, in turn, sees Terumi as competition, though they don't get onto each other's necks all too often, given that they have way more people gunning for them. Finally, there's Dolores Umbridge, who previously held Jasper's position. Despite their severe unpopularity, Jasper and Umbridge don't seem to bond with one another due to differing priorities, plus Jasper thinks Umbridge is just too [[SickeninglySweet sickeningly sweet and bright]] for his liking, despite Jasper's own getup [[{{Hypocrite}} being rather boisterous and over-the-top]] ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he probably doesn't like her color scheme]]). |
| 158 | * When Travis woke up to discover that Jasper made his way into the Pantheon, his response was to... give a wide sigh and simply walk off. As mentioned above, he already killed him, [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty it wasn't satisfying]] and he wasn't worth the effort and time. If anything, Travis just recited what Henry said before the latter's departure upon seeing Jasper's final form. |
| 159 | -->'''Travis:''' I mean I've got ''standards'', for fuck's sake! |
| 160 | ** Jasper's response to Travis hearing about the former's ascension drove him mad for a moment and then went to confront Travis himself. Travis simply wasted no time and slashed the hell out of him, though he left Jasper alive for extra humiliation and told him to "get lost, fuckhead!". However, rumour has it that Travis escaped as far as he could, just so he doesn't have to fight Jasper's second form again. |
| 161 | * Because of how he was so driven by the assassination of his father and brothers, Jasper approached the House of Family for solace and goodwill. Instead, the Heroic Protectors of Family bluntly refuted any attempts to make a relationship with Jasper, straightforwardly telling him that Travis killing his family doesn't justify him ordering a hit on Bishop just for revenge. Some of them even said [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he wouldn't have even known]] [[CuttingOffTheBranches if he actually killed them at the time]], [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall because they seemed hard to tell apart from the employees]]. The Child Abuse Supporters don't really have much to add on regarding Jasper, though given that Jasper might have loved his father and brothers, striking a relationship may be intrinsically difficult. |
| 162 | * Jasper's domain is set in a massively high skyscraper with a bustling shopping mall covering the first three floors, a series of apartments and offices all around the building and Jasper's personal office being on the top floor. Before someone asks, yes, there's a window behind Jasper's desk. Said window is something not a lot of people don't like to talk about, especially considering how Jasper likes to weaponize that [[DestinationDefenestration as a death sentence]] to those who dare fight against [[ThatOneBoss his second boss]]. |
| 163 | * Before someone asks, yes, his company does indeed sell and deliver pizzas. Unfortunately, the Ninja Turtles aren't so happy with that as they think Jasper gives pizzas a bad name. Not to mention getting pizza delivered by a company that's owned by a certain hated figure doesn't exactly help matters. |
| 164 | ** There are a few Pizza Bat food restaurant chains in the House of Pantheon/{{Food}}. Fortunately, not everyone who works in these chains are bad people by heart and may even get along with good-hearted visitors, but the fact that they're Pizza Bat restaurants is a sight of contention by many. It's mildly popular for villains who like pizza. Many heroes don't visit them, mainly because they don't want their money spent on Jasper, though they sort of feel bad about those who work in the restaurants as they're probably in need of work and money themselves. |
| 165 | * His high business position and having firm control over Santa Destroy meant that he could [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney completely get away from want crime with his own name and fortune]]. This earned him the ire of Seito Kaiba, who personally believes that no one can do that but him. Plus upon looking at Jasper, Seito decided not to waste his time associating with him and promptly declare him an obstacle to clear out of. Jasper, on the other hand, decided to want to take over KaibaCorp someday so that Pizza Bat may play an influence in Duel Monster gaming. |
| 166 | * Regarding revenge, Jasper took notice of Corvo Attano and Jack Marston, mainly because the two of them were very revenge-driven and seemed to try meeting up with them. Unsurprisingly, both Attano and Jack saw Jasper as a pathetic manchild and warned them to stay away from their sights. Jasper proceeded to activate his second form and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown mercilessly pound them down]] for daring to speak against him. The fact that Attano and Jack now hate him, even more, doesn't faze Jasper all that much, though the two of them are making plans of sabotage. |
| 167 | ** While revenge because your family members were murdered is common and sympathetic, Jasper's unlikable personality and attitude doesn't wholly justify everything he's done. The House of Vengeance took notice of that and many of the good-natured deities there openly dislike Jasper and don't want anything to do with him, despite his consistent attempts in trying to find an alliance with someone. |
| 168 | * Despite once being the top-ranked assassin in the UAA, the Killers & Assassins Sub-House don't have a positive opinion on Jasper either because he has no honour and his motives are simply self-serving and pathetic, a sentiment that is shared by Night Raid, who simply avoid Jasper for simply being worthless to meet up with. He's pretty much as hated as the Brave Companions (which, in itself, says a lot), though Jasper thinks having them, especially [[CompleteMonster Rorge]] would damage ratings and reputations regarding the UAA and Pizza Bat. |
| 169 | ** Regarding UAA assassins themselves, only Destroyman seems to be enthusiastic about joining forces with Jasper out of a desire to seek revenge against Travis. Margaret would much rather write a song about how pathetic and hated Jasper is rather than fighting against him and [[Pantheon/{{Phrases}} Kimmy Howell]] really has no opinion about Jasper and would much rather be left to her own devices regarding fighting against Travis. |
| 170 | ** While it is true that Jasper beat the shit out of Attano, the latter simply states that he was caught off-guard and that if he was more aware, Jasper would soil his pants the next time they met. Jasper himself has slowly become more aware of what Attano is truly capable of and seeks to prepare himself for the moment. |
| 171 | * Elliot Alderson unsurprisingly hates Jasper for how his company has seeped Santa Destroy's economy and warped it into being dependent on Pizza Bat, which Elliot and Mr Robot see as leeching off of people's banks and work as well the idea of televised assassination challenges being disturbing and disgusting in its own right. Philip Price also sees Jasper as a petty idiot who's more concerned with revenge and flaunting over his position than actually trying to run a company, though Jasper retorts by stating that if given enough time, Pizza Bat would be a lot bigger than E Corp ever was. |
| 172 | * Jasper has some physical not-so-subtle references to Batman and the Joker, namely his bright aesthetics, his company's name and having an over-the-top superhero attire for his second form. |
| 173 | ** If it couldn't be any more obvious, Bruce Wayne wants nothing to do with him and would rather spend more of his time worrying about his own set of enemies than someone who is too fixated on wanting revenge against someone for an utterly pathetic reason. That said, Jasper views Batman with some level of concern, given that he's probably thought of a plan to take on his second and third forms. |
| 174 | ** The Joker, however, doesn't have a high opinion about Jasper, despite the extremely theatrical tone and look of the latter. They'll work together, but the Joker will always remind Jasper that he should show a bit more excited and playful about his actions. Jasper says he does, but he's missing what the Joker really wants him to do; relish in wanton destruction and carnage. In regards to the more psychological stuff, Joker thought showing off to Travis the decapitated heads of his remaining loved ones was a good trick, [[DoWrongRight but it would have hit him even harder if they weren't just wax replicas]]. Jasper explains [[PragmaticVillainy he simply didn't have enough time to get the real heads. They're professional assassins too, after all.]] |
| 175 | * About the only "true" alliances he could make were Mr Burns, Eliza and Neil Reagan, Porky Minch and Nui Harime. The former is a case of business relations, given that Mr Burns has helped Jasper in getting back his financial reputation and he seems to be of good company towards Eliza and Neil for being scummy brats who want to make someone's life miserable. Him, Porky and Nui are widely hated in the Pantheon, which makes them an odd trio of sorts. While their relationship is rocky at best, Jasper is keen on enlisting Nui into the UAA assassination rankings to see just how far is Nui willing to go in her killing spree. He also wants to see if he and Porky can establish a working partnership via spreading Pizza Bat store chains in New Pork City as a sign of goodwill. |

| 204 | * Ju-On. A curse that strikes fear (and death) in the hearts of many. The product of an individual [[CruelAndUnusualDeath dying a violent death]], it is a dark supernatural force that brutally ends every living being it comes in contact with. And there is no more infamous example of this curse's terror than Kayako Saeki. Once an ordinary (albeit shy) Japanese housewife, she was killed by her husband Takeo along with her son Toshio and the family cat Mar after he discovered her love for another man[[note]][[Film/{{Juon}} her son's schoolteacher]] or [[Film/TheGrudge an American professor]] depending on the adaptation[[/note]] recorded in her journal. Spraining her ankle, getting her neck snapped, and stabbed multiple times in quick succession, she revived as an onryō hell-bent on killing everyone who steps foot in the Saeki household, with Kobayashi and her husband among her first victims. Last seen having [[spoiler:merged with Sadako Yamamura to form Sadakaya, her curse has now reached the Pantheon[[note]]and she's separated from Sadako now apparently[[/note]]]]. |
| 205 | * The Ghostbusters happened to be visiting the House of Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} to stop another disturbance by King Boo. Walking back to their temple after a successful operation, they stumbled on the old house and wandered inside. Since [[CuriosityKilledTheCast curiosity kills the cat]], they were cornered by Kayako and [[{{Gorn}} splattered in the attic]]. When their remains were found by patrolling 501st stormtroopers[[note]]and one getting killed in the process of recovery[[/note]], they were immediately carted to the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality for revival. It took several weeks for them to come back to themselves and retell what happened (which was not pretty). Since then, Kayako's new temple has been relocated to an area farther away from the rest of her neighbours and heavily quarantined to prevent her curse from permeating the rest of the Pantheon. |
| 206 | ** This hasn't hindered Kayako in the slightest, since the Ghostbusters had gotten her curse (as well as the 501st stormtroopers) and it spreads like ThePlague. Merely stepping into the Saeki house curses you, and there is ''no way'' to break free of it. Granted, the fact that DeathIsCheap in the Pantheon has heavily mitigated the death toll, but Kayako won't cease pursuing whoever has disturbed her abode and this in turn only increases her fear factor. The only way to be directly killed by Kayako now is to step into her temple and remain there long enough for her to attack, as the Ghostbusters discovered to their peril. Only Ray has any semblance of wanting to get back at her. |
| 207 | ** Don't try running away from her either. While an ordinary villain would pull a YouCanRunButYouCantHide on the pursued, Kayako can just appear in front of you, behind you, even ''below'' you. Nowhere is safe. Not even [[Film/{{Juon}} under the covers]] or even ''[[Film/TheGrudge the clothes on your back]]''! |
| 208 | ** Kayako has similarly been targeted by various {{Occult Detective}}s and [[HunterOfMonsters Monster Hunters]], although none of them have had any real success. The Winchesters mistakenly believed her to be a Shojo, a Japanese alcohol spirit which can be killed by being stabbed with a samurai sword consecrated by a Shinto blessing. [[NoSell It didn't work]]. Others like John Constantine, Harry Dresden and Skulduggery Pleasant have tried various {{Magical Incantation}}s, FullContactMagic and ElementalPowers, [[RunningGag which also didn't really do much to her]]. Finally, there are those such as Hellboy and Danny Phantom who tried to attack her more directly, [[OverlyLongGag which also failed]]. |
| 209 | * Note that this Kayako is an amalgamation of several versions of herself (the one from the original novel, the one from the first four films, the one from the American adaptation, and the one from the reboot films). The Court has decreed that while this Kayako has memories from all four incarnations of her, she most heavily draws from the Japanese film versions of her. Not that it makes much of a difference anyway, [[MortonsFork since they all died the same way and share near identical characteristics]]. |
| 210 | * Kayako is a very different animal from Sadako Yamamura, the StringyHairedGhostGirl from her sister franchise, the Literature/TheRing. Sadako at the very least is seen to have a visible awareness of her abilities, [[PsychicPowers having used her psychic powers]] [[HauntedTechnology to manufacture her signature videotape curse and later adapting to spreading it via the Internet]], Kayako's Ju-On curse is almost entirely a byproduct of [[UnstoppableRage her violent death and she is entirely fueled by her rage and anger]]. Because of this, [[Pantheon/{{Slaughter}} Atrocitus]] is wondering if he can force her to wear a Red Lantern ring to serve as a weapon for him to kill [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Krona]] with, after determining it as useless to control Alma Wade with a ring. All attempts have proven unsuccessful since you don't control Kayako. She controls ''you''. |
| 211 | * Before entering the Pantheon proper, Kayako was one of the many J-Horror ghosts roaming the halls of the Dominion of [[Pantheon/EstablishmentsAndDistricts Heavenly Host Elementary School]], killing trapped people there in much the same way as she would have done normally, her infamy rivalling that of the school's main spirit, Sachiko. When Kayako was beamed out of there following her ascension, Sachiko tagged along to became her High Priestess so she could have more fun outside her nightmarish realm. This was tepidly supported by the Main House who saw giving her someone to interact with as a better option compared [[LesserOfTwoEvils to her rampaging alone across the Pantheon]]. [[ThrowTheDogABone To her credit]], while mostly ignorant of Sachiko, when she does, Kayako does love her like her own daughter. Sachiko is still disgruntled that the dynamic paints her as the NumberTwo to Kayako to deities that don't know of VideoGame/CorpseParty, where in Heavenly Host she reigned supreme, yet remains supportive of her so-called mother in killing and torturing, encouraging her in this attitude. |
| 212 | ** Eveline has a similar dynamic with her, as her chief desire is to have a family of her own. While usually with the [[Pantheon/FearsomeArchetypes the Bakers]], she acts as a surrogate daughter to Kayako and acts as a secret weapon of sorts in the family to combat Sadako, since her powers are far more diverse than simple killing and teleporting, reaching even the ability to control matter. Hence, Erma Williams should be an enemy, yet an odd kinship with Toshio (and [[https://tapas.io/episode/1215998 going on a picnic with the family]]) completely flips the script here. |
| 213 | * Speaking of Toshio, her son is probably the only individual she expresses any sort of affection (or even positive emotion) for. A common tactic of his is to appear as an ordinary child (he is normally a naked pale ghost) to lure sympathetic prey closer for his mother to attack. He mocks them with his signature meow signifying how his soul has merged with that of Mar, the family cat. Besides that, he mostly hangs around his mother, silent and hopeful for new victims to come. [[spoiler:New evidence has come to light that Toshio may not be Kayako's child at all. In truth, he is the reincarnation of a child named Toshio Yamaga, left in a closet to die during a heat wave. His resultant Ju-On spirit entered Kayako's womb and fulfilled her wish to have a child. In essence, this means that Takeo's suspicion of Kayako's child not being his was correct and Toshio indirectly caused Kayako's own demise and Ju-On curse]]. |
| 214 | ** Kayako seems to have a twisted sense of affection towards other children in the Pantheon, and saves them for last in any one of her killing sprees. Some children have tried to help her out (if they're powerful enough). [[Pantheon/{{Protagonists}} Timmy Turner]] once wished her back to life, but the power of the curse proved too strong and she snapped back within four seconds. Da Rules probably should update its pages. |
| 215 | * The only person she was never able to scare or outright kill is Son Chi-Chi, who looked her straight in the face and did... something. Eyewitness reports state that Kayako quailed in terror and disappeared in a pool of blood. |
| 216 | * Zamasu was very intrigued by her arrival. While he groused about how she was an example of the foolishness of mortals as usual, since her love for another man led to her death by an equally [[AxCrazy foolish and crazy husband]]. After Terumi suggested he actually ''do something'' again for once, he checked out the house to witness one of her murder sprees and had a brief skirmish with her. [[CurbStompBattle You can guess who won]]. Now he has the slightest tinge of respect for her unbridled desire to decimate anyone who comes near her or her family, a slave to her own hatred. The fact that she has a second place in his own House has only increased his interest in manipulating her to commit [[EvilIsPetty petty murders]] for him to ensure plausible deniability. |
| 217 | ** Mephisto finds her to be the perfect source of Hatred, the Ju-On potentially making him all the more powerful given his domain being hatred and a tool he could use for his schemes. Doubt she would like him back. |
| 218 | * As mentioned above, [[spoiler:Kayako can forcibly merge with Sadako Yamamura to form an entity containing both curses: Sadakaya. The resultant spirit has Sadako's attire and mannerisms but emits Kayako's death rattle. The videotape also is played in the doorway of the Saeki household instead of the traditional well]]. This form has double the power of its constituent ghosts combined and is nigh invulnerable to Intermediate deities and below. Now that they are separated again, it would be unwise to wish for them to fuse again. |
| 219 | ** This hasn't stopped people from trying. Dr. Gero in one of his 'phases' captured Sadako by purposely cursing himself with the videotape and entering Kayako's temple. Once this was accomplished, he used a shock collar to trap Sadakaya and increase the fusion rate via stolen Potara Earrings. The result was '[[SuperMode Super Sadakaya]]'. The ghost unleashed a psychic wave that utterly decimated the House of Ghosts and necessitated a full rebuild of the place to prevent a chain reaction of ghost invasions into the Pantheon. [[KarmaHoudini Miraculously, Dr. Gero escaped justice for this heinous act]]. In fact, he has plans on trying again, only with ''[[TemptingFate more]]'' ghosts. |
| 220 | * If Sadako had never existed, Alma Wade would take the top spot as Kayako's chief rival and enemy. As they are scarily similar in traits and personality, they get into altercations often with Alma winning almost all the time. At least twenty victims can be caught in the crossfire, and the anger exuded was so great that even Red Lantern Corps member were [[HorrifyingTheHorror terrified]] and longer certain that they can control Kayako in any way, shape or form. |
| 221 | ** This bitter rivalry has gained the attention of Dark Danny, who sees her as a useful substitute for Alma Wade as a potential ghost-in-chief for him. Danny is determined to prevent that from happening. |
| 222 | * Every ''When They Cry'' deity hates her with a passion as her Ju-On curse is nothing more than a worse version of the Himamizawa Syndrome that can't be sealed because is it contained within a sentient being. They never venture near the Saeki household if they can help. Shion in particular sealed herself in her temple [[ProperlyParanoid for 24 hours]] after learning of her ascension. |
| 223 | * In her own twisted way, she sympathises with Scorpion in regards to him losing his family, and Scorpion doesn't mess with her due to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath the nature of her death]]. |
| 224 | * If there is any hope for Kayako, there is speculation that she returns to her normal self on her birthday, like Sachiko. Since her birth date has never been divulged, there is no way of determining if that is the case. |
| 225 | * Despite all of the fear and momentum she can hold onto in the Pantheon due to how no one was able to capture her, one ghost hunter was able to actually take her on and succeed in capturing her, even when her curse tried to scare him into submission; [[BewareTheSillyOnes Luigi.]] Forced into fighting her after Kayako attacked Alma Wade in a hit-and-run style attack and Luigi was forced to face her lest Alma killed him instead, Luigi proved to be more crafty and experienced than she expected, especially with Goo-igi being able to be summoned by him and his NervesOfSteel attitude being enough to remain unfazed by her. After breaking free of her painting imprisonment and feeling her curse wane, meaning those that were once plagued by her curse could now finally be safe from her wrath outside her home, she has since been more careful with whom she chooses to target. |
| 226 | * Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata Ghosts]]. |

| 245 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/PowerMentalities Issei]] [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Hyodo]] and the ascended members of [[Pantheon/HighSchoolDXD the Occult Research Club]], ''[[Pantheon/{{Humanoids}} Millenium]]'' |
| 246 | * Ascended after his failure in the mortal realms to revive Zeref's most powerful demon E.N.D. However, despite his [[KilledOffForReal death]], his undying hatred for humanity allowed him to ascend to the Pantheon as the deity who would best represent [[HumansAreInsects inhuman disregard for humans]]. |
| 247 | * Sees his death by [[spoiler:Zeref's]] hands to be [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest failure]], and so seeks to revive and bring "Master" E.N.D. to the Pantheon as penance for his sins. [[spoiler:Though it was eventually revealed that he's not so much trying to ''revive'' E.N.D. as just trying to wake him up from an amnesic state]]. |
| 248 | * Upon his ascension, he found much in common with many of the demons of the [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} House of Otherness]], in particular, The Beast and Satan. Though far younger than they, the two of them respect his utter disregard for humans as less than bugs, and the latter has offered him as a place as one of the Lords of Hell. Mard Geer accepted, though if asked, he will always say [[DragonInChief that he is simply saving the spot for E.N.D.]] |
| 249 | ** It is his UndyingLoyalty to restoring E.N.D. that is the basis for his alliance with Ghirahim, who sees him as a kindred spirit, due to his own dream of being reunited with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Demise]] someday. Mard Geer respects the Demon Lord in turn, especially when he learned about their similar origins: [[spoiler:Being a [[TomeOfEldritchLore book]] to his [[LivingWeapon sword]]]], he understands Ghirahim's loyalty to his true master. |
| 250 | * Naturally, given his title, he is a sworn enemy of the Imperium and the Emperor, and has thrown in his lot with the Chaos Gods. Of the four though, he only cares for Tzeentch. He finds the Great Schemer an interesting character, though he is wise enough to never trust ''everything'' he says. He is also forever opposed by Tomas de Torquemada for similar reasons. |
| 251 | * Has a cordial relationship with the Homunculus known as Father, who agrees with his views on humanity. Mard Geer has expressed interest in the subject of [[PhilosophersStone Philosopher's Stones]], though he is wary of this thing called UsefulNotes/{{Alchemy}}, which might be able to hurt him. As such, he is cautiously observing the Elric Brothers. |
| 252 | ** Has an interest in Kyubey for similar reasons. He finds the concepts of Soul Gems, Grief Seeds and Witches to be quite fascinating, and wonders what other possibilities could be gained from them. The knowledge of [[HumanResources what they really are]] [[LackOfEmpathy is just icing on the cake for him]]. |
| 253 | * Is one of the few deities who would dare to visit [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Lord Tirek]] within his prison. When asked [[YoureInsane why he would do such a thing]], he replied that since his Curses are [[UnequalRites naturally superior to Magic]], he is safe from Tirek's ManaDrain. He notes long as he doesn't do anything foolish (like allowing him to grow too powerful), he has no fear of losing his powers. As for why he is visiting him, it supposedly has something to do with asking about the conditions of Tartarus [[OhCrap and whether or not it could be a hotspot for Curse Power to aid in E.N.D.'s revival]]... |
| 254 | ** Speaking of magic, he has earned the wariness of the entire House of Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery after they learned of his former plans of [[TheMagicGoesAway erasing all the magic of his homeworld]]. Steps have been taken to ensure something similar can't happen here. The only one who seems to be at bay with Mard Geer - barring Dormammu, is Shinnok, who, just like the former, has plans to revive an ultra-powerful being (in Shinnok's case, the One Being). Of course, the Ruler of the Netherrealm does take some security measures around Mard Geer, such as hiding his amulet. |
| 255 | * [[{{Understatement}} Was not pleased]] to learn of the presence of many a Fairy Tail mage within the Pantheon. While he normally wouldn't care, the fact that [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Gray]] [[DemonSlaying Fullbuster]] is among their number has kept him in line for now. |
| 256 | * Disliked by [[Pantheon/{{Plants}} Kurama]], who sees his [[SomethingAboutARose Thorn Curse]] as some sort of EvilCounterpart to his own powers. Mard Geer doesn't even care. |
| 257 | * Despises [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]], as he believes his interest in humanity to be an utter waste of time. Who cares for the weeds that line the road you walk after all? The Lightbringer in turn simply shakes his head, simply muttering, "Such wasted potential..." every time. |
| 258 | ** Similarly, he also despises Adell, Luka, and Alice for such ideals especially on the subject of coexistence between humans and other races and especially when he learned [[spoiler:[[TomatoInTheMirror Adell is also a demon]], Luka is Lucifer's son (upon which he claimed that the rotten apple never falls far from the tree), and Alice is a MonsterLord (claiming that [[CreepyChild Black Alice]] was a far more worthy being for the title)]] The three in turn thinks he's just a monster that needs to go down. |
| 259 | * [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Corset]] is impressed with his methods of disciplining those [[YouHaveFailedMe who displease him]] with his vines. |
| 260 | * Is kept away at all costs from [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Issei Hyodo]] and his harem, especially [[Pantheon/LoveOther Rias Gremory]]. Mard Geer in turn respects their power and status as fellow demons (at least, most of them), but deep down he holds them in much contempt due to being "traitors to their kind". However, he has not made any moves against any of the girls, largely because he does not want to end up in the receiving end of a brutal beatdown from a transformed Issei. |
| 261 | * Naturally [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Meliodas]] has been made a personal enemy of Mard Geer Tartaros. The Underworld King vows to bring the Ten Commandments into the pantheon just to spite their former ally. |
| 262 | * Could not understand how anyone as powerful as Alucard truly believes in humanity's worth and after his followers got slaughtered by Alucard, he attempted to fight the No-Life King himself. He was defeated after a short battle when Alucard managed to NoSell his trump card, ''Memento Mori,'' before the vampire brutalized him back into his book form. Mard Geer still managed to get one final comeback in [[{{Hypocrite}} noting for all Alucard's praise of humanity and mocking others, he still willing gave it up on his death bed out of fear]]. |
| 263 | ** His attempts to try and get back at them by speaking with [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures Millenium]] also failed. The Major told off the demon and revealed his shared sentiments of how only humanity can beat monsters before the Nazis warned him to leave. Mard Geer's response was to [[CurbStompBattle tear apart their headquarters and soldiers before leaving]], noting that Alucard truly had nothing to fear from them. And what did the Major have to say about that? |
| 264 | --> "Ha! Who gives a shit? They're Nazis!" |
| 265 | ** However, Alucard got the last laugh. After all, he acknowledged his fears and weaknesses, which is why humanity is better than him and Mard Geer. Meanwhile, Mard Geer never would understood and not only did he fail in his objective, [[spoiler: his so-called superior Curses were defeated by the PowerOfLove, the One Magic that all originates from.]] |

| 284 | * Serpent is the president of Slither Inc, who specialize in excavation of old technology and energy sources. Publicly, he is friends with the Guardians and a hero who's stopped many Mavericks. In truth however, he is TheSocialDarwinist, a man who masterminds Maverick outbreaks as part of a FalseFlagOperation. He dreams of using Biometal W to "[[EvilutionaryBiologist evolve humanity]]", and will go to any links to fulfill this dream. |
| 285 | * Vent and Aile were outraged to learn that he had ascended, among many other crimes the fact he was in charge of the Maverick Raid [[YouKilledMyFather that killed their parents]]. Their brewing hatred was exactly what he needed, and when he dared them to [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred strike him down with all of their hatred]] he used it to power the Biometal W Core. It should be noted that while [[Pantheon/{{Depravity}} Palpatine]] [[TropeNamer coined the term]], he doesn't have much in common with the Emperor asides from manipulating people's dark sides and putting on [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a friendly face to the public]]. |
| 286 | * He wasn't happy to learn the Biometals asides from W exist in their original form. X, Zero and ascended members of the Four Guardians weren't happy to see him at all. Luckily for him there was an ally Mega Man-Sigma. [[{{Expy}} They shared similar ideals and personality]]. Together, the two are experimenting with fusing Biometal W and Maverick Virus. Those in the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology not allied with them are trying to put an immediate stop to this. Combining the legacy [[spoiler:and what's left of the mind of Wily and Weil]] would be cataclysmic. |
| 287 | * Considers the likes of Vent and Aile to be the true Mavericks, not him. To support the status quo, to never truly change the world, it is a crime against the spirit of man. While lacking much good to say about the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil, it is the GUAG he takes umbridge with as he detests the [[VillainsActHeroesReact reactionary]] rather than pro-active response most members prefer. He was happy to learn of the GUAC, due to the change and social darwinism they champion. |
| 288 | * Through Biometal W he harvests pain, fear and hate, and when these [[ThePowerOfHate physically manifest]] it's even easier. Atrocitus was disgusted by how he masterminded tragedy and hatred, and immediately attacked him. He was smart enough not to utilize his Red Lantern ring, resulting in a brutal beatdown. Still, it was enough hate combined with his new deity status to re-trigger his OneWingedAngel transformation, and Vent and Aile had to be called in again to stop him. |
| 289 | * Due to how he utilizes negative emotions, he considers the Indigo Light to be a threat and has tasked his Psuderoids with eliminating Iroque. He considers Rotom a threat as the Plasma Pokemon would be able to steal away the Cyber-Elves he's harvesting and hack his technology, along with possibly himself due to being a Reploid. Of course if Rotom were to hack into the malignant Biometal W, it would probably corrupt it or drive the mon insane. |
| 290 | * He admires Steven Armstrong's desire to improve the world, allowing every man to fight for their ideals and genuinely change the world. Some details they argue about, but for the most part the two are allies. His business angle makes him work well with Sundowner, and is trying to use his ChildSoldier plan to help with fueling the Model W Core. He also became business partners with Jonathan Irons. |
| 291 | * Wholeheartedly believes that HumansAreBastards, and just as evil as Reploids can be. His psychosis originated from being the orphaned survivor of a Maverick Raid, which Biometal W exacerbated. He seems to be understanding of Monsoon due to having a similar traumatic background. |
| 292 | * Enriched and ultimately enslaved by Biometal W, it is unclear what might happen if he interacts with its original self, [[spoiler:Dr. Weil]]. To prevent a TemporalParadox, he is forbidden from meeting [[spoiler:him]]. |

| 309 | * On generally good terms with: [[Pantheon/LegacyAndInfluence John Kreese]] |
| 310 | * ''Nanto Hōoh Ken'' is just one type of fighting style within the broader spectrum of ''Nanto Seiken'' and it is a fighting style that can only have one successor. This was something that Thouzer learned the hard way after inheriting it from Ohgai, the previous user of ''Nanto Hōoh Ken'' who was a mentor/father figure to a then-orphaned Thouzer, via killing him. As a result of this, Thouzer vowed to cast aside his emotions and the concept of love was seen as a weakness to him. After playing a role in causing the ''Nanto Seiken'' branch to fall apart, Thouzer became a tyrant willing to enslave children and have them build a massive pyramid meant to be both a monument to honor Ohgai and be a symbol of Thouzer’s reign over the apocalyptic wasteland. |
| 311 | * Thouzer found himself in a rather unusual place some time after his death at the hands of Kenshiro. He wasn’t sure how he got here or how he came back to life, but he was told that there were a set of people who were inspired by Thouzer’s actions and stories and, despite the inevitable resistance that came with trying to get someone like him in the Pantheon, those efforts were rewarded. Thouzer learned what the Pantheon is and the large scope of its setting and figured that while continuing what he had started was an obvious option, it was clear that rebuilding his empire was going to come with some new challenges in addition to what Thouzer had gone up against. Nevertheless, he remained determined to achieve his goals and make his mark where he sees fit. |
| 312 | * Following his resurrection and getting accustomed to the Pantheon, Thouzer figured that the three Hokuto Shinken practitioners that he met in the past would be present and as it turned out, those three had very much refined their skills ever since Thouzer perished at the hands of Kenshiro. While Kenshiro very much understood Thouzer’s tragic past before becoming a tyrant, it didn’t change the fact that Thouzer caused untold misery towards innocents and Kenshiro knew that he would have to battle Thouzer again at some point. As for the other practitioners of Hokuto Shinken, Toki is aware of Thouzer’s secret (that being a misplaced heart which gave Thouzer NighInvulnerability) and Raoh had gone up against Thouzer in the past, though such battles between the two don’t occur all that much given Raoh’s plans. |
| 313 | * Him kidnapping children and using them for slave labor to build a monument meant to declare himself a powerful figure of a ruined world was met with predictable scorn from deities dedicated to protecting the well-being of children. The Pantheon being home to a number of individuals who value and children and have power comparable to Kenshiro (and the setting mostly being less of a hellscape in comparison) meant that Thouzer’s attempts to build his monument via child labor were met with much more difficulty than before. This isn’t getting to the fact that there are younger deities that are more than capable of putting up a fight against Thouzer, whose martial arts skills are quite formidable as is, if they are at risk of being targeted by him. Even in the face of this, Thouzer has merely brushed off those powerless dissenters as worthless, though he is more than aware of how much of a problem those powered children present towards his goals. |
| 314 | ** On that note, one particular deity who despises Thouzer for that aspect of his character was Terra Branford. When she was young, Terra was enslaved and forced to become a murderer against her will. Since then, she has vowed to fight for good and given that she is good with children, she was repulsed that someone like Thouzer would kidnap a lot of children to force them to build a monument in his name. She considers it just as bad as being enslaved to become a killer and she, among others who hold children in high regard, have sworn to take down the Emperor of Nanto and prevent any more children from suffering at his hands. |
| 315 | ** Even with the amount of opposition Thouzer has received in regards to child slavery, there are a very small number of individuals who have offered him some additional child victims to go along with Thouzer’s plans. That group was The Slavers, who were better known for their human trafficking operations pertaining to forced prostitution and while they are content with continuing their own business, they are willing to lend Thouzer a handful of kidnapped children for him to enslave. Thouzer doesn’t have much to say about the group’s more extreme actions in comparison to his own, but he is willing to have some form of associates in regards to adding to the number of child slaves he has while he conquers other potential locations for him to rule over. |
| 316 | * While the Pantheon is far from the ruined wasteland that Thouzer was used to, it meant that he would end up meeting others who have traversed such locations in addition to those he was previously familiar with. Immortan Joe was one such wastelander who shared much of the same ruthlessness that Thouzer has in addition to performing much worse actions than Thouzer has ever done. While perpetuating child slavery to make a monument for himself was already bad enough for Thouzer, Immortan Joe not only harvests people for milk and blood, but keeps sex slaves for himself and will stop at nothing to become a ruler of an apocalyptic wasteland. As both see themselves as god-like rulers of a desolate world, there is a rivalry going on between the two as to who will become a more feared wasteland leader and while Thouzer has eliminated some of Immortan Joe’s trusted allies, the latter still has plenty of smarts and has been working on a plan to take down Thouzer without Joe having to confront him directly. Even if Joe and Thouzer are in conflict with each other, it hasn’t prevented Thouzer from being foes with Joe’s arch-enemy Mad Max, who sees Thouzer’s ambitions and character as no different from Immortan Joe. |
| 317 | * Thouzer ended up sharing quite a bit in common with Geese Howard in terms of how they came to be. Both had someone they cared about when they were young (Ohgai for Thouzer and Geese’s mother for Geese) and lost both of them in tragic circumstances (Thouzer having to kill Ohgai to inherit a martial arts skill and Geese’s mother succumbing to disease followed by Geese failing to kill his neglectful father), resulting in the both of them growing to become darker individuals seeking power at any cost, with Thouzer becoming The Emperor of Nanto who conquers any part of the wasteland as he sees fit and Geese becoming a crime lord with significant power over the city he lives in. Both are skilled in their respective martial arts and the two managed to see quite a bit in each other to the point that they are quite amicable towards each other. Thouzer also found Rugal to be a formidable fighter, especially since Rugal can pick up on various fighting styles very quickly and Rugal himself has stated that if he were in a wasteland like Thouzer was, he would take over every part of it with the help of his criminal connections and become much more dangerous than he already is. |
| 318 | * While John Kreese is aware of what Hokuto Shinken is thanks to hanging around Jagi, he became just as interested in Nanto Seiken, the various styles associated with it, and how dangerous they are in comparison to Hokuto Shinken. This led him to meet Thouzer and he wanted to see just how potent of a fighting style Nanto Seiken (or more specifically, Nanton, Ho-oh Ken) is. It was there that Kreese learned about Thouzer’s misplaced heart, how it gave him an advantage against those who don’t know of it, and just how ruthless Thouzer is overall. Both also learned of their pasts and how it shaped their merciless mindsets, with Thouzer having to kill his mentor/father figure to inherit a martial arts style and Kreese having a terrible experience during the Vietnam War. That said, Thouzer has grander ambitions of being an emperor as opposed to Kreese looking to rebuild a martial arts school to get back at the people who wronged him. For someone who Thouzer considers to fight in a basic way regardless of underhanded tactics, he saw John Kreese as interesting and while Kreese generally found quite a bit to like about Thouzer in terms of fighting mindset. |
| 319 | * Tai Lung was another martial artist who took a dark path following a traumatic experience in his childhood, though what happened there could be seen as a contrast to what Thouzer went through. Both were raised and trained to become skilled fighters, but while Thouzer was fond of his master from beginning to end and took his murder of Ohgai very poorly after inheriting Nanto Ho-oh Ken from him, Tai Lung was unable to become the Dragon Warrior due to Master Oogway seeing a dark heart in him, resulting in Tai Lung developing a grudge against his former teacher Master Shifu and was willing to take the title by force. With those contrasting backstories in mind, Tai Lung harbors some resentment towards Thouzer for being able to inherit a potent martial arts skill from a caring master when he was young whereas Tai Lung was unable to do such a thing at a young age. A fight ensued and Tai Lung’s abilities weren’t enough to take Thouzer down and after defeating Tai Lung, Thouzer told Tai Lung that Nanto Ho-oh Ken was much more deadly than what Tai Lung had access to and that it would take much more effort to defeat him. This had only given Tai Lung more of a motivation to not only become the Dragon Warrior that he himself believed he was meant to be, but to defeat Thouzer and those who talk down to him in a potential rematch. |
| 320 | * Zonda suffered a lot of hardships in the past that led her to become as ruthless as Thouzer, but the similarities between the two end there. Whereas Thouzer is a powerful martial artist who has discarded the concept of emotions (love especially) and wants to rule over a wasteland on his own terms in addition to having a misplaced heart, Zonda is a super-powered individual who wants to create a world where other Adepts in addition to herself can thrive at the cost of all other human life (mainly to put an end to the discrimination she and her kind suffered) and is a massive LoveFreak. In addition to completely dismissing Zonda’s mindset about love, Thouzer was aware of the kind of threat Zonda and other super-powered individuals like her can pose to his potential empire, though Zonda isn’t taking powerful enemies who oppose her, be it regular humans that are super-skilled in combat like Thouzer or those with superpowers of some kind, lightly and she definitely isn’t going down without a fight if it means retaliating against Thouzer’s disparaging comments about love. |

| 352 | * Wary of: [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus the Destroyer]] |
| 353 | * The era of ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' is not a pleasant one, and most of the world is a barren waste. One man is to blame; Dr Weil. Orchestrator of the Elf Wars, he was a scientist who tried to push for removing the free will of Reploids to prevent/as punishment for Mavericks. [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist In actuality, this was a scheme to take control]], and when his proposal was rejected he corrupted the Mother Elf and used Omega to wage a war of conquest. In four years 60% of humanity and 90% of Reploids were wiped out and many felt death was more than he deserved; [[FateWorseThanDeath Weil was stuck in a regenerating suit and forced to wonder the wastes forever]]. This didn't stop him from returning in a century and concocting a scheme to take control of Neo Arcadia. [[TheCaligula As leader he was an unremitted tyrant]] [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating everyone despises]]. [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans Of course this was largely intentional, as he felt humans and Reploid should suffer a living death]] [[ItsAllAboutMe for a punishment he richly deserved]]. |
| 354 | ** Even for an immortal, Weil wouldn't last in power for long and Zero can be thanked for that. To ensure no-one could escape from Neo Arcadia Weil had [[KillSat the Ragnarok satellite built to destroy]] Area Zero, the only other habitable place. Zero would confront him in the Ragnarok Core after he survived being shot by said satellite (less so Neo Arcadia), where he merged with the core to ensure even if it couldn't fire [[ColonyDrop he would crash it into Area Zero]]. A final duel with Zero stopped Weil, but at the apparent cost of both of their lives. [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MegaManZX However Weil's soul lingered in the wreckage, forming into the new Biometal W]]. 200 years after his death his remnants would serve as the next source of Maverick outbreaks.]] |
| 355 | * Dr Weil is wildly believed to be the most evil deity in the whole ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise. [[Monster/MegaMan He does have his competition]], [[KnightOfCerebus but he still really stands out]]. As his goals are "rule over humanity and Reploids in a living death", all for a punishment that he deserved, this isn't surprising. Naturally he is ''hated'' by virtually every god from his 'verse, to the point only his [[ArchEnemy arch-enemies]] stand out. The only exception is, [[TheDragon his loyal servant]] [[SoProudOfYou and the only being he gives any respect]]. But if you want more specific examples? |
| 356 | ** He considers Zero to be his biggest arch-enemy, having been the one to put him down. Like the petty monster he is Weil has called Zero a Maverick by pointing out "I am one of those humans you swore to protect!". This is an aspect of Weil's FantasticRacism; [[JustAMachine he doesn't think robots have or deserve a soul and should follow their maker's rules]]. It's patently ridiculous considering Zero wasn't designed with the laws of robotics in mind, [[ZerothLawRebellion killing Weil would save millions of lives]], [[FullConversionCyborg and he's barely human at this point]]. Also, Zero doesn't seem himself as a hero. In hindsight, X regards not having him executed as a regret. |
| 357 | ** Being a contemporary of his atrocities, the Four Guardians and Ciel have a serious axe to grind against Dr Weil. Harpuia has already turned on his old master for ethical reasons, but the fact Copy X [[ObviouslyEvil trusted Weil]] is just plain stupid! In Copy X's defense, he was rebuilt by Weil [[MoreThanMindControl so he may not have been in the right mind]]. Copy X is pretty irate at Weil for usurping him, as you could imagine. Also, Gray, Vent and Aile hate Dr Weil despite being born long after his death. [[spoiler:Maybe it's because he's NotQuiteDead but menacing them as Biometal W. In this form Weil is the man behind Serpent, and is still manipulating him without him knowing it]]. |
| 358 | ** Weil is pretty opposed to both of the 21st century's great roboticists, Dr Light and Dr Wily. [[NeverMyFault Not wanting to admit he's in the wrong]] [[CardCarryingVillain unless he enjoys it]], he blames Dr Wily for all the suffering of the Maverick Wars. Wily accurately pointed out that, [[GreaterScopeVillain while he had a hand in it]]. Weil surpassed even him in evil. [[EvenEvilHasStandards And he may be an envious would-be conqueror, but he's not a sadist]]. Dr Light is blamed by Weil for Reploids existing and he despises his ideology of humans and robots on equal terms. [[EnemyMine Hatred towards Weil is one of few things to unite the scientists]]. |
| 359 | ** Cynics would argue the real reason Dr Wily has a problem with Weil is because [[spoiler:he co-opted the body of his masterpiece]], and because he thinks he's a rip-off. Weil in turn believes that Wily was a B-grade version of himself. As for Sigma, he feels that Dr Weil is [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters everything he fears and despises about humanity]], while Weil feels Sigma is [[RoboticPsychopath everything he fears and despises about Reploids]]. There's an enormous amount of PsychologicalProjection between the two, in case you haven't gotten it already. On a less hateful note Ra Moon is another rival, but because its M.O makes Weil's plans a lot more complicated. |
| 360 | ** Despite never meeting them, Dr Weil has ordered death warrant to Bob and George. Yes the brothers are morally disgusted by Dr Weil and are thankful that as much as time travel sucks for them, they never visited his era, but that's not the reason. Rather it is because [[WeirdnessMagnet their presence causes the setting to become]] DenserAndWackier. As a villain who benefits [[KnightOfCerebus from being played completely seriously]], they're a monkey wrench and he would feel utterly humiliated if forced to act silly in their presence. |
| 361 | * Though there are psychopaths that respect him such as the warped and power-hungry scientist Hojo, his heinous actions, goals and personality mean his ZeroPercentApprovalRating carries over to the Trope Pantheon. Dr Weil is a HateSink for the Trope Pantheon approaching that as Zamasu or Yuuki Terumi, the former of which perceives him as everything wrong with humanity. [[LoveToHate Any fanbase Weil has mainly comes from how good of a job at being vile he does]], since he never undergoes VillainDecay. [[CardCarryingVillain Weil's pretty boastful about his evil]], having called himself the unending nightmare [[DevilComplex or even the Devil]]. He and Terumi are in a competition for who is the most evil and who can spread the most despair, though [[spoiler:unless he's in his more serious Susano'o mode]] it's the closest such unrelenting bastards get to a friendly competition. One wonders if Tenjuro Banno would challenge him in the "evillest scientist" division should be given the same resources, but they would rather work together to achieve their mutual goals than anything else. |
| 362 | * When he ascended, Dr Weil was left with a choice; should he try to get Melkor's patronage, or Darkseid's? Both appeal to his sadism, but the former's sadism is more exciting to him...however the latter [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans trope]] is very much in-keeping for him. For a human Weil is so impressively sadistic that both [[GodOfEvil evil gods]] want him for their cause. It was Molag Bal that made the decision Weil can ask for all three of their patronage, being personally giddy from Weil's domination and cruelty. One wonders asides from [[ArsonMurderAndAdmiration admiring their sadism]], Dr Weil is hedging his bets in case the rival villains ever score a definitive victory over one another. Recently the cyborg despot has been working with the Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous, who hopes to express his [[SelfInflictedHell self-inflicted suffering]] on creation and thus sees Dr Weil as an apostle of his narcissistic rage. |
| 363 | * Dr Weil does favor Melkor a little bit more than Darkseid in part because he wanted to have the trope DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans first, however none can deny that the Lord of Apokolips was a better fit. Though Darkseid appreciates Weil, he isn't hesitant to [[PsychopathicManchild point out his childishness]] and that [[StupidEvil he allows his sadistic desires to overtake his reason at time]]; if he seeks to impress him, he needs to adopt an attitude of TranquilFury. Big Brother and INGSOC also do not believe Weil is effectively dystopian; it is not enough to crush the populace, [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill but you must stomp out their soul and fill it with yourself]]. Weil simply replied "that's boring!", as he is too AxCrazy to settle for a ''lawful'' evil tyranny even if he enjoys the trappings. Of course, it's possible this is some ''deeply'' subconscious attempt [[DeathSeeker to provoke a way to finally end his own suffering]] via outrage, but that's just speculation. |
| 364 | * As the Mother Elf was freed of his corruption, he is unable to use it in conjunction with Omega to control virtually every Reploid. However, there are plenty of avenues he intends to explore to replicate the effect...and why stop at just robots? So you can imagine his consternation when Moebius, an A.I, is planning a similar mass mind control gambit on everyone he can achieve. Darkseid won't deny he gets a kick out of the two's attempt to one-up each other, nor the fact that Yuri is competing with Weil in their schemes to try and mind control everyone. However unlike the two Dr Weil doesn't intend to remove TheEvilsOfFreeWill completely as he believes his human subjects should have enough of their personality left to be punished. Tarkin finds this ridiculous; sure, use something like Ragnarok to intimidate the masses. But fear of force is more effective than force, so don't be a PsychopathicManchild about it. |
| 365 | * One of the first things he plans to outlaw should his unholy desire of taking control of the Trope Pantheon ever come to pass is the elimination of the House of Law and Justice, which he considers worthless ideals. [[StrawNihilist He plans to purge the]] House of Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} should he get what he wants, except for anyone there that agrees with him. His reasons being he finds law and justice a joke because of what humanity did to him. While technically vigilante justice, [[PayEvilUntoEvil he more than had it coming]] and rather than contemplating the error of his ways in a century of exile, he doubled down on his contemptible views. In some ways he could be considered a {{Foil}} to AZ and SCP-1440. The two are immortal exiles in their own way due to the former's wrath and the latter's hubris. However they've come to appreciate life and AZ may be guilty of war crimes in the past, but he was never as evil as Weil was. More importantly, they can actually take responsibility for their actions. |
| 366 | * Weil for his part despises all artificial intelligence on principle. [[FantasticRacism A robophobe to the bone]] he believes all machines should basically be slaves to humanity. The weak justification he uses is that he brushes all A.I under the same stroke as the many notorious A.I who believe in human inferiority and subjugation. Whether it be SKYNET's burning hatred and desire to destroy humanity, or the Samaritan's belief that humanity is better under A.I's thumb, he despises them all and thinks any A.I no matter how noble should be punished for their sins. It's harder to say what robot ''doesn't'' hate Dr Weil because of this; the Transformers, Bastion, any robot that values his free will has called this perspective warped and if anything [[PsychologicalProjection everything he hates in A.I can be found within his own demented mind]]. |
| 367 | * One of the only artificial intelligences he actually likes is someone who ''surpasses'' his loathing towards mankind; AM. AM feels even more trapped than Weil's punishment and he spent over a century inflicting a FateWorseThanDeath to the last five humans in order to express his rage. The entire thing was "beautiful" according to Dr Weil and it led to the two making a deal; he will aid AM in spreading mass suffering so long as AM aids him in inflicting living death among his subjects. AM's personal victims were naturally horrified at the idea of even more people suffering their fate, since both Weil and AM are of the same mind all of humanity must "appreciate" at least half the suffering they endure on a daily basis. The fact that Weil is able to even appreciate an A.I isn't out of left field (he respects Omega, after all), but it speaks volumes as to how much alike Weil and AM are that they're capable of getting along in spite of mutual hatred towards each other's kind. |
| 368 | * Weil also hates humanity for a passion; it is very much a self-absorbed misanthropy [[ItsAllAboutMe built entirely around his own suffering]], which makes him a contrast to Shinobu Sensui. The latter snapped because of witnessing the depravity of mankind [[EvenEvilHasStandards and he considers Weil to be the epitome of why]] [[MisanthropeSupreme he hates humanity]]. He is considered a horrific {{Foil}} to the Emperor of Mankind, [[WellIntentionedExtremist who while an incredibly]] [[AbusiveParents flawed]] [[{{Jerkass}} man]] is a steadfast believer [[HumansAreSuperior in the greatness of the human spirit]]. The Emperor of Mankind is sooner to compliment xenos scum than he is Weil and in spite of their severe differences, he and Qin Shi Huang are united in their disgust over him and his sadistic tyranny. In stark demonstration of his LackOfEmpathy, Weil mocked the Emperor [[AndIMustScream for suffering an even worse fate than his own]] and mocked the way he raised his children. Any point that might've had was lost when he said the primarchs should've been treated [[JustAMachine as he would Reploids]]. |
| 369 | * For Dr Weil to come close to liking another human being or an artificial intelligence at minimum they have to be as misanthropically warped as he is. One of the few humans [[VillainousFriendship he calls friend]] is Kefka. Like him, Kefka is an impulsive [[AxCrazy psycho]] [[StrawNihilist nihilist]] who rose to become leader of the world and went out to inflict scheduled suffering to the populace, ForTheEvulz. He's a lot more flamboyant of course, and is more of a friend to the likes of [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} the Joker]]. The Batman That Laughs has stated he needs to really up his A-Game as the pantheon's "wide supply of sadists and sociopaths" have escalated since he first showed up. In other words, "you're overshadowed". The MadScientist declared that all that means is additional motivation. This might be why he changed his views from seeing Darkseid's dystopia as "boring" to seeing him as a patron; the "sadist power creep" means he's going to need to work for an upgrade. |
| 370 | * Initially the Red Skull got along well with Dr Weil, and to an extent they still do. However with the increase in Nazi deities he's felt that he needs to focus more on the Third Reich's ambitions [[PragmaticVillainy and the time for sadistic playtime is over]]. Well, mostly over; their "friendship" is still there, it's just a FriendlyRivalry now. Some of his old "friends" like [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Freddy Krueger]] have just left since they've found more people fit to their specific tastes. One old friend stayed, though; Alduin. The dragon holds a cruel streak a mile wide, [[DestroyerDeity and though his destiny is to be the World-Eater]] he shirks it some he may enjoy domination. He seems to just like Weil as a person, which says more about him than anything. A couple other humans who decided to be his "friend" are Junko Enoshima and Burgermiester Meisterburger. Part of the latter [[EvenEvilHasStandards finds him kind of intense]], but Weil appreciates his dystopian edicts and desire to oppress all fun, albeit in a student-teacher way. Junko [[TooKinkyToTorture could never be broken in a way Weil would want]] but the tyrant doesn't mind as he wants to see her Ultimate Despair come to pass. If Junko is the lustful side of [[HopeCrusher hope crushers]], Weil would be the wrath side of that coin; he's a bit lost [[NightmareFetishist with her "kinks"]] [[{{Sadist}} but she has the right spirit]]. |
| 371 | * It's a lot easier to list down those who don't hate his guts. Both Superman and Goku have declared him to be irredeemable and despicable [[AllLovingHero which is saying something]], as has Captain America. Dr Weil doesn't care what they think as he has a strategy to prevent those under his thumb leaving to a better place; ''destroy'' that better place. This is a key factor in has waged war on the House of Nature. Think [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Mr Burns]] was bad enough? He at least is LaughablyEvil; there is '''nothing''' laughable about Weil and his desire to scour the Earth into an expression of his suffering while the only place left livable is what's under his domain. The sheer hatred emanating from Weil means Captain Planet cannot come near him, and Weil loves to gloat about it. Like the "Fleetway" Robotnik he's a power-mad dictator and doesn't care about his image. However the more vicious incarnations of Robotnik still seem themselves as superior to Weil while the less evil versions [[EvenEvilHasStandards regard Weil with contempt]]. |
| 372 | * To those who see through the charm of Griffith, they see his "Falconia" as similar to what Weil was planning with Neo Arcadia. Femto's actions were to render most of the world as dangerous and force humanity to live under his thumb, but the major difference is that Griffith [[DarkMessiah wants and works through being a beloved ruler]]. [[FalseUtopia that's not to say]] [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans he is motivated by utopia rather and greed and pride]], but he prefers the trappings and has dubbed Weil a fool. He's happy that [[TheSociopath Weil's complete inability to care about other beings]] means he has no loved ones to sacrifice, since he'd be a dangerous Apostle. Vandal Savage and the Dark Dragon were similarly relieved. Vandal has plans on being the ImmortalRuler of humanity and he has no need of an impulsive psychopath being in charge. The Dark Dragon recognizes the "join or die" approach Weil has and thinks it's perfectly valid, but he despises humans and rebukes his despotism...as opposed to his own, of course. |
| 373 | * Dr Weil doesn't hate aliens and other non-Earthlings, but that's only because [[ItsAllAboutMe they've never affected him personally]]. Also, some wicked aliens thought he was cool. Frieza considers him amusing in how cruel he is and has allowed him to muck things up, but is quick to remind him that even in his weakest form he's a causal planet-buster so don't think for a second he can get uppity. The Grox are another alien force that he is happy to play TheQuisling too as they will aid in his war against nature. Perhaps most worryingly is his alliance with the Gravemind, [[spoiler:a force that intends to inflict DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans [[AbusivePrecursors as punishment for its creations' rebelling and destroying its pre-incarnation]]. It's a disturbingly similar idea to Dr Weil]]. The Sith Emperor is another ally, as even if he doesn't make his sadism and cruelty his political policy he certainly has it in abundance and he is another immortal tyrant. He believes that were he Force sensitive |
| 374 | * The '''absolute''' closest Weil comes to a PetTheDog moment, albeit after ''really'' stretching the definition, is his awe of Omega. It's bizarre considering [[HatesEveryoneEqually his attitude towards everyone and everything]]. He respects SCP-682 for being an undying TorturedMonster who shares his deep loathing for mankind, though this is one-sided as 682 thinks his VillainRespect "makes him a disgusting [=REDACTED=] brown-noser, no better than the rest of them". His value in Omega is why he has an axe to grind with Metallix; Metallix is pretty much Omega if he could talk, but also if he didn't feel like serving Weil. And Dr Weil refuses to lose Omega to Metallix. Asides from that, what ''vanishingly little'' remains of his humanity leads him to have a fondness for Porky Minch, albeit only because of their blatant similarities; childishly psychotic people who's immortality has made them manic, crazed [[TheCaligula Caligulas]]. Porky's own enemies are well aware of the fact. |
| 375 | * Weil has gone so far as to call Omega a God of Destruction...just not in Beerus' ear space. Granted, Weil would probably find [[CessationOfExistence being Hakai'd]] a blessing [[FateWorseThanDeath given his fate]], but being the {{Sadist}} he is he's not happy with dying unless he's brought everyone to Hell with him, so he won't [[DoNotTauntCthulhu provoke the cat]]. However he is interested in the sheer power creep of the ''Franchise/{{Dragonball}}'' universe. Mainly, he wants to capitalize on the cybernetics of Dr Gero and upgrade himself into a more powerful body. He also holds some begrudging respect for Acnologia and the leader of the Dark Eldar. The latter considers him self-important and small-time, knowing nothing of true sadism and suffering...though he's not surprised Weil would admire him. Acnologia gets why Weil has an accord with his own misanthropy, but would rather he leave him alone. |
| 376 | * If you want to see him at his most enraged, [[BerserkButton call him a Maverick]]. [[{{Hypocrite}} Despite being worse than any Maverick in history]], despite [[spoiler:becoming the source of a new Maverick plague]], Weil refuses to ever be associated as one. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters No matter what he does]]. Alloran has taken to ''regularly'' calling Dr Weil a Maverick, and that's because he sees in Weil the worst of his own past actions. Like Weil Alloran was a disgraced war criminal who committed genocide, that being genocide against the Hork-Bajir. ''Unlike'' Weil he came to realize what he did was awful and in both his exile and enslavement under a Yeerk [[TheAtoner he has thoroughly renounced his old views]]. |

| 402 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/TimePlacement Master Xehanort]]]] |
| 403 | * Long ago, there was once a villager who was just going about in his day. Then his fellow villagers decided to ostracize someone in order to rationalize all of the disasters they had gone through, and that someone is him. Since then, he had every atrocity committed inflicted onto him and gets blamed for them until his old age and after that, they placed a curse that made him represent the world's evil on him to seal the deal. Throughout all of this, he was confused at why would they do this to him, but eventually he began to hate them back and later, [[{{Irony}} his forced sacrifice qualified him to become a Heroic Spirit]]. Throughout the years, he has seen generations come and go and [[ThePowerOfHate hatred becomes second nature to him]], then eventually becomes his entire being once he lost all of his humanity. |
| 404 | ** He was later summoned into the Third Fuyuki Holy Grail War, where he was swiftly killed due to his weak powers and gets stuck in the Holy Grail. The Grail then grants every evil wish humanity has placed on Avenger, turning him into an actual daemon designated as ''All the World's Evil'', Angra Mainyu. Within the Greater Grail, he tainted the grail system, allowing irregular spirits to manifest in Holy Grail Wars. During [[Literature/FateZero the Fourth]] and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fifth Holy Grail Wars]], he taunted [[Pantheon/CouplesArchetypes Kiritsugu Emiya]] and his ideals by claiming his methods will make him an enemy of humanity by impersonating Irisviel and granted [[Pantheon/MindGames Kirei Kotomine]]'s wish for destruction with his black mud swallowing Kotomine and gave him a blackened heart; in separate timelines of the Fifth War, he lies to [[Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence Illyasviel von Einzbern]] that her father killed her mother and contracted with [[Pantheon/RevengeAndRetribution Sakura Matou]] to manifest in the material world but in the end, the physical Grail corrupted by him get destroyed in all of the three timelines. |
| 405 | ** But one of the timelines ensured his survival by having enough souls of Servants to fuel his resurrection, and later he wandered to find one last desire to fulfill due to being a weak Grail. He then found Bazzett Fraga [=McRemitz=], the Master of Lancer who was left to die by Kotomine who also wished for life, so he made a contract with her and put her in a comatose state, until Caren Hortensia found Bazzett and nursed her in her mansion. To keep both her body and consciousness up and running, he made [[GroundhogDayLoop a four-day time loop]] and [[IdentityImpersonator impersonates Shirou in mind and body]] but reverts to his true form as Bazzett's Servant; during the loop, he [[BecomingTheMask enjoyed becoming Shirou]] and [[HeelRealization began feeling wrong about the timeloop]] while Bazzett eventually realizes the situation but keeps the loop going to keep herself alive by sealing him in her left arm. With Caren's help, Avenger finally ended the loop once and for all with his time in Shirou's daily life represented [[IJustWantToBeNormal his desire to live a normal life]]. |
| 406 | * Melkor once realized that after all of the ForeverWar that's going on in the Pantheons, [[TheScapegoat the blame needs to go to at least an entity worthy of taking all of them]]. Sure, there's Zamasu but he wants someone that best embody the very concept of scapegoating and its horrible consenquences; later while browsing through universes, he found the Avenger Servant, Angra Mainyu who Melkor finds fascinating due to also being banished by Eru Iluvatar for embodying evil. Seeing Angra's worth, he made his case to the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods, who while feeling uneasy towards Melkor actually got convinced of his reasoning; the papers filed in and Angra Mainyu ascended to the Trope Pantheons. Angra also saw himself in Melkor, and so [[VillainsOutShopping they hang out around the place off-hours]] though he can't but [[EvenEvilHasStandards feel Melkor is very extreme against Eru and everything else good]]. |
| 407 | * It's an {{Understatement}} when the participants of the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars are not pleased to see him given that he [[GreaterScopeVillain basically screwed up their lives both indirectly and directly]]. Angra outright expresses that he has no regrets doing his wrongs to them, especially to Kiritsugu and his family, as well as Sakura and [[Pantheon/PrideAndEgotism Gilgamesh]]. All parties are readying themselves to face him once more, which shows that all innocent people want is a good life. |
| 408 | ** Bazzett and Caren were the only two people that he legitimately cares about after the time loop fiasco he had a hand in creating. The Court decides to appoint them so that he's kept on a metaphorical leash, which Angra is actually grateful for. It was a sweet reunion, albeit a bizarre one to see an embodiment of evil and two women hanging around happily. |
| 409 | ** Kotomine arrives to Angra's temple once he heard news of his ascension in order to request more great power from him so that he can satisfy his lust for destruction. Since he helped him before and he's totally advocating for evil in man's heart, Angra agrees to give him aid once again. As for Bazzett and Caren, the latter has a lot of questions for her father while the former [[TeethClenchedTeamwork is hesitant to work alongside him]] since [[spoiler:he killed her and stole Lancer from her before the Fifth Grail war started]]. |
| 410 | ** Angra is responsible for the corruption of Saber Alter and made her oppose Shirou to keep himself preserved until his full birth into the world. Saber Alter is bitter towards Avenger for that and is finding a loophole to get back at him; not that he cares much for her anyways... |
| 411 | * Avenger is surprised that his Master, Ritsuka Fujimaru ascended at the same time as him. When Ritsuka bonded with Angra, by now his loops with Bazzett and Caren has already happened and [[ReformedButNotTamed he now takes a backseat in Chaldea's missions until needed]]. Angra's enemies along with Bazzett and Caren are counting on the Master of Chaldea to keep him in line. |
| 412 | ** Angra finds Amakusa Shirou very interesting, particularly his sheer determination to go after the Holy Grail for [[WellIntentionedExtremist his wish of salvation for all]] and even their summonings by the Einzberns determined the outcomes of the future Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars. Amakusa could care less about Angra's opinion of him, because a corrupted Grail is still a Holy Grail and he'll not stop to get it... at least, had it not been for Ritsuka keeping him in line. |
| 413 | ** Jeanne Alter finds it disappointing that the very first Avenger-class Servant is pretty weak, so she's not gonna expect much of him sooner or later. Angra could care less about her, although he's fascinated that there's more Servants under his class which delights him that his influence towards the Greater Grail is working. |
| 414 | ** Angra considers himself a cheap imitation of the Beasts, because an Evil of Humanity is comparable to them. Funnily enough, he can actually go head-to-head with them especially against [[Pantheon/ArroganceAndHubris Goetia]] which prompted him, [[Pantheon/MonsterTypes Tiamat]] and [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Kiara]] [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior (when she's Heaven's Hole)]] to be careful around him. |
| 415 | * Having just redeemed himself, he acquainted himself with Beatrice the Golden Witch and Vector who also used to screw around their victims maliciously before their calling out. They would be antagonizing had it not been for that [[HypocrisyNod they have been equally vile to others as well]], so they gave in and ultimately exchange their past experiences with glee over coffee. Onlookers are still intimidated despite the happy situation. |
| 416 | * Being a nearly unstoppable force of chaos and evil, Angra finds himself at odds with Lucifer and Don Thousand, who scoffs at his general weak Servant form and preferring him as the Black Grail. Unfortunately for Angra, most of the Pantheonic higher-ups are banning him from going near the Treasury's Grail so he can't impress them after all. The Nyarlathotep of the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' world is delighted to see more proof that HumansAreBastards, but he calls dibs on ending humanity first; Angra finds it a shame that another embodiment of humanity's evil would want to compete with him than cooperate with him. |
| 417 | ** YHVH/Yaldabaoth is furious that another chaotic being has ascended and refuses to let himself be corrupted by him Eru Iluvatar sees him as no better than Melkor. Angra couldn't care less about them, as long as they don't mess with his plans. |
| 418 | * The '''ACTUAL''' Angra Mainyu scoffs at Avenger, laughing at the fact that his village sought out him and ruining his life to do so; the feeling is mutual since Avenger blames him and his name for his unjustified suffering. You won't be seeing these two in cahoots even if they have common ground. Despite sharing the Zoroastrian devil's name, Freddie Mercury and the Prince still antagonize him regardless since not only he's not better than Ahriman but also potentially more dangerous than he will be. |
| 419 | * By this point, Avenger has [[MoralEventHorizon done enough monstrous stuff to warrant him a lot of understandable hate]] which put him at odds with Yuki Terumi, Evolto, Zamasu and Dr. Weil. Terumi and Evolto had a party of their own when they found out what Angra embodies who proceeded to not be involved in their schemes while carrying out his own, as opposed to Zamasu who uses him as proof that humans deserve to be wiped out for, which [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne actually offended Angra]] since at least he values humanity in spite of hating them so much. Terumi did call it a shame since like Angra, he too [[ThePowerOfHate keeps himself alive with hatred]] and they would have debated about humanity evil all day long. Dr. Weil could care less about humanity's evils, he still wants Reploids to serve them regardless of their feelings; Angra [[EvenEvilHasStandards even wonders if he ever needs redemption at all]]. |
| 420 | ** Since he can also corrupt others with his black mud, he also gained rivals in Phazon and BEN though BEN doesn't really use black stuff to corrupt his victims and surroundings. Phazon reacts negatively in Angra's presence which means it sees him as competition rather than ally. |
| 421 | * Sure, he made a time loop to save Bazzett's life, but Phil Connors, Tree Gelbman and Stefan Butler are staying very far away from him because his Heroic Spirit form alone is ObviouslyEvil. Angra himself could care less for them, unless they are standing in his way. |
| 422 | ** He did feel bad about Homura Akemi using time loops to save Madoka forever, stating that he would have done the same for Bazzett. Homura wants nothing to do with him since he reminds her of what she has becomed: a monster warped by her love for her friend; Angra may not be warped by twisted love, but he still understands her situation nonetheless. |
| 423 | * Avenger also embodies the very idea that heroes are a worthless idea and was interested in the HeroKiller, Stain regarding this. Except, Stain has [[MoralMyopia a twisted idea of what a hero should be]] and while he finds Avenger interesting as well he does not want to completely dismiss heroism entirely. In spite of not seeing eye to eye, they remain civil even when debating the importance of heroism. |
| 424 | ** He also has embodied hatred after centuries of being "All the World's Evil", which connects him with fellow housemate Velvet Crowe, who really does not share his sentiments positively despite [[spoiler:[[ThenLetMeBeEvil letting herself]] [[SilentScapegoat be the villain in everyone's eyes]]]]. Kefka Palazzo sees him as competition, [[ItsAllAboutMe thinking that he himself should be full of madness and hate]] while Angra [[EvenEvilHasStandards finds him way off his rockers to ever relate to]]. |
| 425 | ---> '''Avenger:''' Yeesh, and everyone thought I'm the worst thing to come out of their world... |
| 426 | * Because he got shunned by his fellow villagers and sacrificed later on, he truly sympathized with Gai Tsutsugami (who shunned himself willingly), Shinji Ikari, Haruka Kotoura, Sirius Black ([[MiscarriageOfJustice who got convicted of a crime he didn't commit]]), Ramza Beoulve, Lazlo and Oyashiro. [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame All of them feel ashamed]], not because he's patronizing but because his actions outweigh his aforementioned sympathies which Angra surprisingly accepts as a fair criticism. Lelouch & Suzaku, while they too set themselves up to become public enemies number one refuses to find him any more than abhorrent. |
| 427 | ** Also found sympathy in both Ren and Naoya’s cases. He pities the PhantomThief for being wrongfully charged as a criminal by society and Naoya for being setup by YHVH to become a figure none shall strive to become. Naoya is more kinder to him since Angra got unfairly sacrificed to banish evil while Ren stays very far away from him, finding him very hard to fully redeem since he's... you know, "All the World's Evil". |
| 428 | ** The one fellow scapegoat who actually allied with Angra is the Outsider, who The Abbey of the Everyman condemns for all the corruption and sin that plagues humanity while he just sees them as "that cult dedicated to hating me." While yes, he is behind what is considered witchcraft in his world and people do use it to commit terrible things, he never actually goads them into doing so. In fact, he gets disappointed when people opt to that route. There's also the fact that [[spoiler:the Outsider was just some street rat sacrificed by a cult that the Abbey descended from. The higher ups are aware he isn't as evil as they say, but don't say anything and fear of losing their power when he dies since they don't have anyone to blame then]]. Since then, these two are seen together, intimidating nearby onlookers. What are they planning? [[TemptingFate Who knows...]] |
| 429 | * Naturally, he'll hate anyone who would [[NeverMyFault pin the blame onto someone else]]. One example would be Robert Edwin House because during the power struggle for New Vegas and by extension the Mojave scapegoating was one of his plans, House [[PragmaticVillainy opted to let President Kimbell and General Lee Oliver live]] so that when he does pull the rug under the New California Republic they will be blamed for the loss. If they die, [[DontCreateAMartyr then they'll be seen as martyrs instead]] and be inspired to take action against him, which isn't ideal. Angra wishes the latter happened cause people like House who unjustly blame someone else should get their throat slit while House himself understandably gets scared shitless everytime he sees him. |
| 430 | * As they too represent the evil in everybody's hearts, Vanitas and Ansem, Seeker of Darkness got aquainted with Avenger. He's not really keen on joining their schemes, but still finds no harm in seeing how they go against heroes anyways. As for their boss Xehanort, he loves his villainy but finds his hidden motive of [[spoiler:using the Kingdom Hearts to purge the worlds of their evils]] to be unfitting for him (not to mention [[spoiler:offending]] Angra since he's an embodiment of evil). |
| 431 | * Has affiliated himself with Noob Saibot, who also has dark-like abilities like Angra and they turned evil once they died under circumstances beyond their control. Bi-Han thinks by allying with Angra, he can use him as a way to gain control of a clan that would follow his command and finally plunge the universe into darkness while Angra himself should keep the doomsaying down. At least the wraith is considering him a possible alternative should Noob's alliance with Kronika fall short. |

| 449 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Issei Hyodo]] |
| 450 | * After hearing of Maou's ascension to the pantheon she quickly found a way to ascended in order to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't try anything. As she will cut him down if necessary. Concerning their condition, he can no longer take her seriously. Though he does find her to be a WorthyOpponent. Unfortunately, her approach to dealing with Maou tends make other think that she is in a relationship/ex-girlfriend. As they tend to act LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. |
| 451 | * Is... less than pleased that she was transferred to the House of Hatred, despite her extreme dislike of demons. She finds a majority of the inhabitants to be extremely dislikeable and even down right despicable. In short, she would rather not have anything to do with any of them, except for Eren, who she formed a kinship with, and Barney, as she doesn't understand why anyone would hate such a harmless and plushy dinosaur who enjoys giving hugs. |
| 452 | * Even though there are many demons, she can't bring herself to [[FantasticRacism hate all of them]]. She gets confused when she always was raised to believed that all demons are [[AlwaysChaoticEvil despicable creatures]], but after seeing many demons such as Maou not being evil such as the Occult Research Club, specifically the kind Asia who once worked in a church. It tends to make her not as judgmental. |
| 453 | * Her temple has both a training ground dedicated to perfecting her sword skills and a room filled with computers that accommodate her job as a call center agent. Distracting her from her job with prank calls in inadvisable. At best, she will give you a stern talking-to; at worst, watch out for the Better Half. |
| 454 | * Many evil demons are trying to stop her from reaching her full power as they know she would become a force to be reckoned with as she was the one who drove Maou from Enta Isla and he was at full power. |
| 455 | * She has found a job as member of a Call Center. Unfortunately for her she constantly being victim of prank calls courtesy of the Trollkaigers. |
| 456 | * She has been invited to join Sacred Knights acknowledging her many victories over the demons of her world. |
| 457 | * She isn't to happy about her [[ACupAngst chest size]] though she tries to play it off saying that armor is cheaper for her size unfortunately she isn't fooling anyone. She might join the League of Flatchests... maybe. |
| 458 | * She has met the gods who might share [[Creator/FeleciaAngelle the]] [[Creator/YokoHikasa same]] [[Creator/YuuAsakawa voice]] as her unfortunately almost all of them have large chests ([[Pantheon/LoveOther Rias]], [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} Mio]], [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Houki]], [[Pantheon/BeastHandlers Sakaki]], [[Pantheon/ActsOfFriendship Asuka the shinobi]]) and she excuse Ryobi of cheating which usually end with them fighting because of it. Then she gets to Kei Kugimiya and [[Pantheon/NamingIdentification Funabori]] in which she breathe a sigh of relief. Though Kei and Funabori believe that they were just insulted because of her reaction. |
| 459 | * She has befriended Eren Yeager thanks to their similar pasts when one of they parent was killed by a demon/titan, they also train in order to take down the demons/titans, and they both have a pretty mean DeathGlare. |
| 460 | * Surprisingly enough she has a child with Maou... Not that way, as she is horrified at the thought that someone would think that she had that type of relationship with her archenemy. |
| 461 | ** Said child, Alas Ramus, is part of Better Half and is with her at all times. Emi is very protective of her and will go to great lengths to keep her safe. |
| 462 | ** She'll reluctantly allow Maou to spend time with Alas Ramus, but only under supervision, and never in her temple (she hardly ever lets him come in there anyway) |
| 463 | * Although he's half-demon, she can't help but feel sorry for Issei Hyodo for being murdered by his ex-girlfriend and causing him psychological issues. In turn, she's disgusted by Raynare for being so unbelievable cruel and is uneasy on the fact that they share [[Creator/FeleciaAngelle the same voice]]. She also wonders how horrible of an angel, even a fallen angel, she was if she can make a ''demon'' look like a better lover. She then thinks of Lucifer of her world as well as the angel Sariel and remembers that not everything is all {{Black and White|Morality}}. |
| 464 | ** Of course it gets rather awkward with her and Issei. Mostly because she sounds like his beloved buchou in Japanese and his evil ex Raynare. Also to make things even worse he sounds like the aforementioned angel in English, and even begun sounding like Maou himself. So they tend to avoid each other whenever possible. |
| 465 | * Being half-angel, Emilia has been granted access to the House of Pantheon/{{Angels}}. There, she has made friends with some of the righteous angels, such as [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Michael]], [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Tyrael, Manwë]] and [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction Pit]]; all of whom agree with her mission to keep an eye on Satan. She also was pleasantly surprised to know the holy energy in that house replenishes her magic, so she has made visits to to spar with her fellow angels and keep her abilities in top form. |
| 466 | * Completely tired of YHVH's angels trying to remove Better Half/Alas Ramus from her grasp. |
| 467 | * Cannot properly reconcile the fact that Anos Voldigoad, with so much history of death and blood on his hands, actually wants to have peace with humans despite his crimes against them, being wary of his true intentions for sacrificing his life. Anos honestly just pities the girl for having such limited thinking. |
| 468 | * Has been helping out Chiho train in holy magic with Crestia and... Sariel. So far, it's been a success. |

| 492 | * The Apostle Rosine was once merely an outsider kid, a traumatized child who wanted to run from her abusive household and live with the elves. The trauma of her background eventually led to [[DealWithTheDevil her Behelit activating and the Godhand calling]], who granted her wish to be an elf [[SelfMadeOrphan at the cost of her parents' lives]]. She preferred to live in a SugarBowl in attempt to recreate a fairy land from her tales, but this [[CrapsaccharineWorld was twisted]] into kidnapping kids, turning them into Apostle Spawns. Rather than depraved or [[NobleDemon principled]] in her villainy her morality is [[AmbiguousInnocence childish]] and she thought she as doing a favor. The village certainly didn't think she was helping the kids, nor did Guts who's vendetta against her kind eventually led to her demise against him. She died regretting her path and missing her family. |
| 493 | * Rosine [[DeathAmnesia doesn't seem to remember]] [[DraggedOffToHell the swirling vortex of souls she was eventually sent to]], and unfortunately [[DeathEqualsRedemption what reversion to her old personality she had]] was also lost out of outrage to learn Guts was alive due to how he "ruined everything" and [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes put Jill in danger]]. That said, she doesn't have any beef with her friends. [[CharacterDevelopment Having grown quite a bit since fighting her]], Guts wasn't as angry as he might've been to see her resurrected, and the Skull Knight is more interested in getting rid of her given he is a foe of the inhumans. |
| 494 | * As the main code of Apostles is "do what thou wilt" the ascended Apostles are ambivalent to her endeavors and she doesn't have the enormous ambitions of either Griffith or [[Pantheon/FacialHair Ganishka]]. The Godhand are still recognized as her superiors, beings the ones who gave her her powers, but they don't feel the need to interfere unless she proves problematic. When asked what that meant, they pointed [[StupidEvil to Wyald]]. [[RapePillageAndBurn As the living embodiment of sadism on the battlefield]] [[SerialRapist with a horrific]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain misogynistic streak]], he already horrified Rosine and she's happy [[EnemyMine letting Guts take another crack at him]]. |
| 495 | * Guts was at one of his darkest points fighting her, so the least Rosine wants is fighting "Guts, but on steroids". And what's the first name that pops up in her head? The Doomslayer. Also, while it's not indictment against Guts or Rosine's abilities, the Doomslayer is used to fighting worse demons than her. Initially Rosine was also worried that the Goblin Slayer might feel she needs to be eliminated, but he's neutral on her; his hatred is laser-focused on goblins, who are basically the trolls of his 'verse. Rosine was familiar with monsters that prey on people, [[EvenEvilHasStandards so she couldn't help but applaud him]]. It's possible they hit too close to home since her mother was raped during a war raid, and her father abused her [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe because he couldn't be certain of his paternity]]. |
| 496 | * Her Apostle form [[CuteIsEvil is a lot more disarming than any other Apostle]], looking like [[PrettyButterflies a butterfly girl]] with her OneWingedAngel being [[MothMenace a big, bad moth]]. Her "elf" Apostle Spawn in their true form [[WickedWasps resemble wasps]] and she has turned adults into other bug-themed Apostle spawn. She's quite interested in both Mothra, being a majestic butterfly, along with Pinsir and Heracross [[ToughBeetles for being tough]]. She wants them to help guard her little elf village fantasy, but they refuse to entertain her insane delusion. Queen Sectonia, however, saw potential. She's decided to feed into her fantasy because she thinks Rosine is worthy of serving alongside her and wants to learn more about [[DemonOfHumanOrigin her kind]]. |
| 497 | * Rosine wants to play with Team Snakemouth and Skull Kid, as she sees some of herself in the latter and wish she had read more story tales of bug heroes like the former. The former naturally don't want anything to do with her, while the latter does oppose her evil...but he can't lie they're alike. Both Rosine and the Skull Knight are lonely kids who became something worse [[DealWithTheDevil through powers]] [[DemonicPossession beyond their understanding]]. However Rosine's worst acts are out of her own free will[[note]]albeit a child's[[/note]], and while Skull Knight did a lot of mean pranks calling him truly evil is a bit of a stretch. Still, Skull Knight does see that Rosine only wants to get the happy childhood she never could by living in fairy land, rather than being actively cruel, so he doesn't condemn her as much as others might and wants to help her find a healthy coping mechanism. |
| 498 | * She's a huge fan of the Hall of Pantheon/{{Fairies}} and wants to join them really bad, only to be rejected. This isn't because they consider her too evil; after all, they have Killer BOB [[EvenEvilHasStandards who Rosine thinks is a truly horrid adult]] and his actions surrounding Leland hit close [[AbusiveParents to home]]. Rather it's because she's an imposter playing a childishly macabre game to escape her abusive background. Her imitations did remind them of the behavior of one of their unascended folk, though; the fairies Series/{{Torchwood}} [[Recap/TorchwoodS1E5SmallWorlds dealt with (more accurately, were forced to bargain with) that planned to turn a girl into one of their own]]. While [[SympathyForTheDevil he can feel bad for Rosine]] [[CainAndAbel as his own brother went through and became worse]], Captain Jack Harkness won't let her bring other people into her own sad, sick fantasy; he doesn't want a repeat [[TheBadGuyWins of last time]]. |
| 499 | * Gertrude considers Rosine tragic, yet pathetic. She made a wish to be in a fairyland, [[TrappedInAnotherWorld only to be stuck in it]] and found the SugarBowl to be ''unbearable''. [[AxCrazy She's also plenty violent]], however she thinks of Rosine as more of a {{Foil}}; she found tragedy and burn-out in what started out as a fantasy, while Rosine acted out her fantasy to escape tragedy. [[EveryoneHasStandards And violent as she is, she thinks what Rosine does is pretty messed up]]. This doesn't make them enemies however as Rosine finds her story interesting for how unexpected it is to someone like her; she's jealous [[WrongGenreSavvy and thinks if she was in her position, her story would've been more uplifting]]. |
| 500 | ** The fair folk Baba Yaga sees potential in Rosine where she didn't in Gertrude, believing the other fair folk are looking at her with a narrative view on what counts as an elf. However Rosine only sees her [[{{Irony}} as a demon]] since she kidnaps children [[EatsBabies to eat them]]; Rosine kidnaps children, but to "help" them. |
| 501 | * Within the Trope Pantheon there are various adults who she sees as a perfect representative of their supposedly rotten nature; and on top of that list are AbusiveParents, since her own father abused her for the "[[BlatantLies crime]]" of possibly not being his[[note]]keep in mind if true [[ChildByRape the mother had no say in the matter]] so there's not even the AffairBlameTheBastard logic behind it[[/note]]. It doesn't matter how bad the abusive parent is; she will try to kill you [[KarmicTransformation or turn you into Apostle spawn slaves]]. Sadly [[PayEvilUntoEvil for those who find that cathartic]] real bastards like [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Ozai]][[note]]pre-bending removal[[/note]], [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Ragyo]] and [[Pantheon/FleshEaters Cronus]] were either powerful enough to swat her away like a bug, or at least strong enough to beat her up. Weaker but still big bastards like [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics Ghetsis]] were still terrified by her and chose to hide instead of confronting the angry butterfly demon. |
| 502 | * Because of the abuse in her past [[AdultHater she believes that all grown ups are rotten]], which is a sentiment that the KND can understand. That said, [[EveryoneHasStandards they only hate bad adults]] and thought something like a bullfighting ring that replaces bulls with caffeine-crazed adults was messed up. They are nothing short of disgusted by Rosine's twisted version of a childhood fantasy [[SympathyForTheDevil even if they understand why she's so twisted]], and have pointed out to Rosine that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters she's become as cruel as the adults]]. Hell, ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards Father]]'' and the Delightful Children thinks what she does is even more messed up than permanent "Delightfulization"...admittedly this might speak more about the drastic tonal difference between ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' than anything else. |
| 503 | * She also despises Father's own father, [[GruesomeGrandparent Grandfather]], as he is the ultimate expression of adult tyranny. Grandfather tried to turn her into a senior citizombie in hopes of having an elite minion, only for [[NoSell it to fail]] because she no longer counts as human anymore. He still had more than enough power to just swat her aside, but refrained from killing her at least for now since he wishes to learn more about her nature as an Apostle, likely to gain more power. Also, he just loves to mock her [[NotSoDifferentRemark by saying they're not so different]] since they convert kids into scary mooks. Rosine defends her actions by saying she is doing the kids a favor turning them into "elves" while Grandfather turns them into decrepit work slaves, only for him to laugh at this and say [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist unlike her]] [[AtLeastIAdmitIt he's not delusional]]. He also has a control over fire, which Rosine is quite vulnerable to and has dissuaded her from trying to directly fight Grandfather again. |
| 504 | * While the KND are horrified by her, Rosine [[VillainRespect kind of likes them]] since they stand up to scummy adults and don't have to rely on adults. She's also a fan of the Phantom Thieves of Heart and Arya Stark. The former make rotten adults see the error of their ways [[HeelFaceBrainwashing by force]]. The latter is a tomboy who broke out of a bad situation and became a somewhat ruthless badass. While the Thieves begrudgingly admit she's not a complete HateSink like those they steal the hearts of, they want ''nothing'' to do with her and give her no second chances. Arya is slightly more sympathetic to Rosine's past plight, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse but like the Thieves thinks it only goes too far]]. |
| 505 | * Under the advice of the Kids Next Door, Rosine has been banned from entering the House of Childhood and Adolescence. Her crimes are taking and corrupting children to be "elves" who terrorize the people and their livestock like it was a game. And their "war games" are about as brutal as [[WarIsHell regular war]], complete with "[[RapePillageAndBurn adult attacks]]". She still thinks she's doing them a favor due to her lack of an adult understanding of good and evil, mind you. Rosine was also given a pre-emptive restraining order from Matilda Wormwood, [[EvilCounterpart who sees the Apostle as]] [[DarkerAndEdgier the grimdark version of her]]; they're both young girls who gained superpowers and got revenge on the adults abusing them. Rosine however goes ''way'' too far, though an evil little part of her is tempted to imagine Trunchbull and Umbridge [[AssholeVictim find themselves afoul of their wrath]]...[[SadistTeacher they are]] '''[[CompleteMonster everything]]''' Rosine feels is wrong with the adult world. And in truth, [[HateSink few would mind Rosine coming for them]]. |
| 506 | * She sees Peter Pan as living a truly ideal version of the life she wants to live, minus the interest in fairies. He's forever young, carefree and isn't all that fond of grown-ups either. Peter Pan agrees with this to some extent, however [[EveryoneHasStandards he considers a lot of what she's doing abhorrent]] and going too far in terms of fun. Well, most version of Peter Pan; the ''Once Up A Time'' version [[AdaptationalVillainy is a right bastard]] who likes the cut of her jib. The other versions want to get her to have a saner good time and feel sympathy with her, but still recognize she's evil. |
| 507 | * Some have compared her to the Puppet, along with Freddy Fazbear and friends. They're once human children who were transformed by tragedy into something otherworldly, Rosine and the Puppet think this is for the greater good, and they [[AdultHater really distrust adults]]. However the animatronics don't like the comparison; though they have killed, [[EvenEvilHasStandards they would never even think of touching a kid]]. Sure, the Puppet turned ghosts into animatronics, but this isn't like how Rosine's where they wholly lost their humanity; it's more like giving ghost [[HauntedTechnology powered armor]] to find rest. In spite of arguing about who's method is better, they did agree on one thing; fuck William Afton. [[WouldHurtAChild His shameless rap sheet of child murder]], haunted animatronics included, is something Rosine hates and she wants to get back of him too. The murderer wasn't impressed. |
| 508 | --> '''Springtrap''': "[[BringIt Go ahead, come at me!]] [[BadassBoast I've come back from worse]], [[JokerImmunity I ALWAYS DO!]]" |
| 509 | * Rosine also shares the same feelings of utter contempt to the [[CardCarryingVillain proud and unrepentant]] child killers in the Trope Pantheon...well all child killers really, but especially them. The Yellow Bastard, Champ and Freddy Krueger are at the very top of the hit list, as their serial child murders [[PaedoHunt are also]] [[SerialRapist serial child]] ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapes]]''[[note]]well ok, original continuity Freddy's more implied, but he's still Freddy Krueger[[/note]]. The first two [[DirtyCoward ran for the hills at the mention of her name]], but the Springwood Splasher chose to speak on her, noting [[DemonOfHumanOrigin she's a being like himself]]. |
| 510 | --> '''Freddy Krueger''': "[[ForTheEvulz And I've enjoyed every moment of it]], but you know what I didn't do? [[AtLeastIAdmitIt I didn't lie about not hurting them!]]" |

| 530 | * You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen. ''[[{{Tagline}} But do you recall... the most famous reindeer of all?]]'' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''[[note]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer Rangifer tarandus]][[/note]]'', as his name implies, was born with a shiny [[GagNose red nose.]] So bright in fact, that people would even say it glows. While his parents tried to hide it from public eyes, his unique snout was soon discovered and turned Rudolph into a laughing stock. AllOfTheOtherReindeer in the North Pole [[https://youtu.be/f1u7lHSMoIU?t=1065 mocked and humiliated the poor fawn.]] They called him cruel names and wouldn't let him play in their reindeer games. Even Santa himself acted incredibly jerkish towards him. Time soon passed, and a terrible storm engulfed the North Pole, not letting up even as Christmas Eve approached. Santa was close to cancelling the holiday altogether... until he realized something. He approached the now-adult Rudolph and asked, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" [[SavingChristmas And he did.]] With his nose piercing through the fog and mist, Rudolph led the way around the world and allowing Santa to deliver the presents on time. Christmas was saved, and the reindeer changed their attitude. They came to love him and cheered with glee, that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would go down in history. |
| 531 | * Rudolph ascended to the Pantheon alongside Santa during one particular holiday season. A strong winter storm rolled over the entire Pantheon, causing mass concern over whether or not Christmas would come at all. All hope seemed lost, when, hidden in the fog and snow, a red light was spotted. The deities, both young and old, knew instantly who the light belonged to, with the younger ones cheering as Rudolph led Santa's sleigh through the blizzard, delivering presents as they went. Christmas had been saved once more, with Santa and Rudolph being given temples and titles within the Pantheon as thank you for their efforts. |
| 532 | ** Santa and Rudolph share a temple, leading back to Christmas Town, better known as the North Pole. It is a quaint little area, with the Claus' and their elves living on the first castle on the left. '''[[note]]Matter of fact, the only castle on the left.[[/note]]''' The reindeer either live in the castle's stables or in the nearby caves. Business goes on as usual in preparations for December 24th, so should one ever visit, don't be surprised by all the elves and reindeer working and practicing. |
| 533 | * The version of Rudolph seen in the Pantheon hails from a [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer bizarre timeline]], where he, the son of Donner, ran away from home and travelled with an aspiring elf dentist named Hermey and Canadian prospector Yukon Cornelius to an island of misfit toys, confronting the Abominable Snow Monster, and eventually saving his family from said monster. However, his appearance tends to fluctuate from time to time; sometimes he looks like an adult and other times he reverts into a young fawn. As well, his origins are often thrown into question. Some claim he [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998 was born to Blitzen, and was rivals with his cousin, Arrow]], while others say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4b9Q7YdDdM his story was more simplistic.]] He will transform into these alternate forms occasionally, but he is most comfortable in his stop-motion body. Besides, it allowed for Hermey, Yukon and fellow reindeer Clarice to arrive as Heralds. |
| 534 | * Rudolph's love for Christmas is an absolute given and he was surprised to learn there were many other deities associated with the holidays living in the Pantheon. Luckily for him, most of them are on good terms with the reindeer. Besides the Santa and Mrs. Claus he's most familiar with, Rudolph came to work alongside the Guardian, Nicolas Saint North, the young idols Hijiri Mochizuki and Eve Santaclaus, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come. They all do their duties to spread Christmas cheer and joy to the Pantheon and to the Worlds, with Rudolph always leading the way with his nose lighting the darkness. |
| 535 | ** Initially, Rudolph had a difficult time trusting Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jack Skellington and The Grinch, due to their previous attempts to take over, sabotage or simply disregard Christmas altogether. Not to mention the latter two having dogs (Zero and Max) that they used in roles similar to reindeer. Then the young buck discovered their histories, learning how all three went through epiphanies and changed their ways to cherish the holiday season. Nowadays, Rudolph will occasionally enlist their help to spread Christmas cheer to the Pantheon... while keeping Jack from stealing the show. |
| 536 | * One Christmas Eve, Rudolph and Santa met three (former) homeless folks from Japan, named Gin, Hana and Miyuki, and witnessed their story of helping reunite an abandoned baby with her parents. Santa noted the trio's incredible luck on their journey and kindness to the child and decided to give them a place in the Pantheon. Rudolph often stops by the check up on them and even invite them to the North Pole to help in the festivities. |
| 537 | * Rudolph knows first-hand how it felt being ostracized for his differences and has gone about the Pantheon making friends with others like him. He is close to Naruto Uzumaki since the two were picked on in their childhood before earning the respect of others after saving them. He's also friends with Dumbo, often flying alongside the big-eared elephant during the holidays and helping Santa, The imaginative, Canadian red-head Anne Shirley, and the Fire Nation born circus performer Ty Lee, who took to the reindeer almost instantly, even praising him for using his gifts for good. The more cynical deities often make fun of these friendships, considering the red-nosed reindeer and company a bunch of mismatched misfits and freaks. Rudolph and the others don't really care for their opinions. Friends stick together no matter what, after all. He also became close to Haruka Kotoura and was heartbroken when he heard how she couldn't control her telepathic power, causing major issues. Haruka was surprised to find out that she could read Rudolph's mind despite being an animal. She's actually ok with it because most times, his mind is filled with sugar plums, fairies, Christmas and [[OfficialCouple Clarice.]] |
| 538 | ** Despite this, Rudolph does have limits. He once heard of the dealings of the Diclonius, Lucy. While he did feel sorry for her at first, once he heard about the [[HarmfulToMinors end result of her bullying]] he felt sick to his stomach. He avoids interacting or even being near her. |
| 539 | * Rudolph's not exactly a big fan of bullies due to his own experiences being picked on. He initially frowned at Shoya Ishida and his bullying of his deaf classmate Shoko Nishimiya, as well as distrusting the young Katsuki Bakugo for him picking on the young Izuku Midoriya, which reminded Rudolph of his cousin Arrow. After hearing about the two bullies going through their [[HeelFaceTurn own major changes]], Rudolph tried to interact with them a bit more. Shoya and Shoko are on good terms with the flying deer, though Bakugo wishes not to be pitied by the deer. |
| 540 | * His journey to the Island of Misfit Toys and meeting its forgotten inhabitants came back to Rudolph's memory when he encountered an equally bizarre group of sentient toys in the Pantheon; led by a cowboy doll named Woody and a spaceman action figure named Buzz Lightyear. The toys had their own experiences with being lost, forgotten and eventually finding new owners, so they connected quickly with the red-nosed reindeer. They even travelled to the island to help other forgotten toys find new owners to play with and cherish. |
| 541 | * Not long after ascending, Rudolph found friends in the Pantheon's other resident hoofstock. In particular, the white-tailed deer Bambi, former farm cow-turned-reindeer Annabelle, and the Legendary Pokémon, Xerneas, who is sometimes spotted in the forests surrounding the Arctic, its multi-coloured antlers glowing with the aurora borealis. He was also happy to meet the blue-nosed reindeer Tony Chopper, although he was initially weirded out by his small size and strange appearance. All four have come by the North Pole from time to time, with Bambi bringing his own friends, Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk, to enjoy the Christmas festivities. They all, however, know to stay away from the ruthless goat Grogar, who isn't quite up for the holiday joy, happiness and... you know, ''being nice whatsoever.'' |
| 542 | ** Speaking of deer, Rudolph encountered a strange woman named [=ViVi=], a member of a K-Pop girl group called LOOΠΔ. She was considered an oddball due to her being an android, not to mention being from Hong Kong. Despite this, Rudolph began talking with her, at the urging of her fellow idols. It turned out that she was a friendly individual, even revealing that her [[AnimalMotifs symbolic animal]] was a deer, which made things all the more perfect. From then on out, Rudolph often stops by to check up on the singer and dancer, even inviting her to the North Pole to hang out. On one such occasion, [=ViVi=] came over to Rudolph and called him cute. His response was to leap into the air and shout; |
| 543 | --> '''Rudolph:''' ''I'm Cute! I'm Cute! She said I'm cute!'' |
| 544 | * [[WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly One time]], Rudolph and his friend Frosty the Snowman had a run-in with an evil winter warlock called Winterbolt, who once tried to use them in his plan to destroy Santa. After that, the young reindeer has remained cautious around similar ice-controlling beings, as well as a revived Winterbolt, who continues to haunt the Pantheon. He's wary of Lissandra and The Night's King, both of whom want to plunge the Pantheon into a long and unforgiving winter. To that end, Rudolph found new help with Jon Snow, the former King in the North having a bit of experience in dealing with wights and White Walkers. He also befriended the time-travelling warrior Lucina, following a scenario similar to [[WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear when the reindeer had to save the New Year.]] |
| 545 | ** He actually feels sorry for Ice King, however, due to his tragic past. He can't really imagine what it's like to be that insane. |
| 546 | * Rudolph became good friends with Queen Anna, her older sister Elsa and the living snowman Olaf. The former initially was a tough sell, due to her cryokinetic powers, but then they started talking. He learned of Elsa having to hide her talent under her parent's instructions, just as his parents once did, as well as being ostracized by the public once it was discovered. Elsa often makes it her duty to provide a white Christmas for the Pantheon and is more than happy to help Rudolph by keeping the worst storms at bay. Anna meanwhile loves to prepare and throw extravagant parties around the holiday season, and she likes to invite Rudolph over to entertain the kids, not to mention giving another reindeer friend to her fiance Kristoff and his faithful caribou Sven. As for Olaf? Rudolph gets along with him because, in a way, he reminds the deer a great deal of Frosty the Snowman. |
| 547 | * He once had a nasty run-in with the Wendigo, a flesh-eating monster whose sharp teeth and piercing call reminded the buck of the Abominable Snow Monster of the North. Luckily for the reindeer, he was saved by Braum, who reminded Rudolph of Yukon Cornelius. However, after hearing that the Wendigo was actually [[spoiler: a girl who was forced to eat her dead sister's body]], Rudolph was both saddened and disgusted. He's also incredibly disturbed by SCP-4666, due to its sadistic brutality towards naughty children, Spooky the ghost, who murdered Santa on one occasion, and Robot Santa, who often attacks people on Christmas regardless if they're naughty or nice. |
| 548 | * There are many rumours surrounding Rudolph. Some claim to have seen Rudolph [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo shooting laser beams]] out of his shining red nose, while others heard he was [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway hit by a 747 and a flock of seagulls while flying over Barcelona.]] Rudolph has denied these claims, citing that the instigators probably drank too much eggnog and just hallucinated it. But eyewitnesses were quick to report that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane. |

In truth Lotso is a misanthropic nihilist of a toy who thinks they're made to be thrown away, manipulating his minions to satiate this hatred. He may smell of strawberries [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon and look huggable on the outside]], but inside he's a monster. |
| 565 | * When the Toys from Toy Story worked with him to save each other when they all got carted off to the dump, they saved him and offered him a chance to save them.

He was infuriated to learn that Woody and his friends had ascended, and the feeling was mutual. However he takes special umbridge with Pinocchio. He was a puppet that gained life and eventually became human, having the love of a father. Lotso was incredibly jealous of this, and swears he'll kill him in his sleep. Emmet Brickowski considers him a major enemy as well since [[StrawNihilist his worldview]] and actions are antithetical [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome to his own]]. |
| 567 | * Good-hearted bears hate Lotso as well due to his psychopathic nature. He is one of very few that angers Winnie the Pooh, due to both being a bear and a toy. Teddie despises him as well. Along with bears, Zuko also hates him for his RedemptionRejection. |
| 568 | * [[FreudianExcuse Why is Lotso so hateful?]] He ended up being lost and abandoned by his owner, replaced by another Lotso. This caused something to snap and him to believe he was never loved. Though as Woody has put it, it isn't much of an excuse since his loss was an accident and she wanted another Lotso toy because she cared for him. Plus he lied to [[TheDragon Big Baby]] about him being abandoned as well. He gets along with Souther due to their shared antipathy towards love and compassion. |
| 569 | * Comparable to Banette is that they're both toys filled with a grudge due to being abandoned by their previous owner. However Banette [[EvenEvilHasStandards considers him despicable]] for his ruthless persecution and cruelty towards toys. And he really doesn't like how he thinks toys are trash. Most of all, he's confused why he doesn't try to go after his original owner, [[MisplacedRetribution as he instead of other toys are responsible for his grudge]]. Lotso pointed out that he has a much harder time at it because toys freeze up in human sight, but most believe he's just finding an excuse to throw his weight and vitriol around. |
| 570 | * In spite of his contempt to all toys, there is one toy he gets along with. A toy bear [[KillerTeddyBear even worse than him]]; SCP-1048. He was fascinated by the Builder Bear's [[MookMaker talents]], and aggression towards humanity. To every other toy's horror, SCP-1048 has reciprocated and the two have become allies. He has also swallowed his newfound phobia of vehicles after the "tied to a radiator" incident and worked with Robert the Killer Tire to satisfy his hatred towards both toys and humans. |
| 571 | * One of few Disney characters who gets along with Judge Doom. He's not so much a toon as a stuffed bear, and shares [[YouAreWhatYouHate a contempt for his own kind]]. He seems to admire Dolores Umbridge's means of enforcing her tyrannical will and her cruelty [[WouldHurtAChild towards children]]. She likes to see something so pink and fluffy be so tyrannical and authoritarian in turn. |
| 572 | * As a result of being revealed as a very dark villain, [[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/11/disney-lotso-lawsuit-bear-toy-story-3_n_4769260.html Disney got in some trouble due to Lotso toy sales sinking]]. He laughed at this, proud that he has caused toys to suffer in RealLife as well. |
