| 26 | * Lady Yagokoro is the greatest pharmacist to ever live, at least, in terms of Gensokyoan history. Her main ability is to be able to create any drug at will- even hyperspecific ones- without too much issue or effort, allowing her to create some really insane concoctions, such as the [[SaveScumming Ultramarine]] [[CombatClairvoyance Orb Elixir]], the Dream Butterfly Pill, and of course, '''[[ElixirOfLife The Hourai Elixir]]'''. Besides this, she’s also known to be a brilliant mind, capable of tackling almost any form of scientific, mathematical, and potentially even technological subject matter, backing it up with a wide suite of magical abilities that can rival that of the Sages of Gensokyo. |
| 27 | ** With Gensokyo becoming a quick power player in the grand stage of the Pantheon once again since [[Pantheon/{{Currency}} Chimata]]’s rebellion, the Sages of Gensokyo have been looking to make sure they stay alert and have multiple checks on multiple enemies in the Pantheon. One of these enemies, Nekron, had begun to take interest in the land of fantasy again alongside other despicable foes such as Yuuki Terumi. Yukari Yakumo does bring up one thing in a Sage meeting one day- the return of Eirin Yagokoro to the Pantheon as their counter to Nekron. [[BrokenBase This naturally upset the other Sages, as they also knew that her ascension would only make things worse, leading to an intense argument.]] However, Yukari’s suggestion won out anyways, but that was merely just the first step to solving that issue. |
| 28 | ---> '''Eirin:''' No. I won’t consider returning, at all. I only partook in the Tenkyuu Uprising by Princess Kaguya’s request, nothing more. |
| 29 | ---> '''Yukari:''' You must trust me, Yagokoro. Your ascension will be very beneficial to us- |
| 30 | ---> '''Eirin:''' I said no, Yukari. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Not unless Kaguya herself enters this room & wills it.]] |
| 31 | ---> ''Kaguya enters the room the two were discussing in.'' |
| 32 | ---> '''Yukari:''' [[GilliganCut Perfect timing!]] |
| 33 | ---> '''Eirin, turning to face Kaguya:''' …oh, greetings, Princess. |
| 34 | ---> '''Kaguya:''' I was approached by Yukari first, and she told me about what had transpired since that counterattack. Hearing of those new troubles, I would suggest you listen to her. |
| 35 | ---> '''Eirin:''' But, Princess- |
| 36 | ---> '''Kaguya:''' The safety of Eientei & Gensokyo seems to be threatened by much more powerful deities recently. While I myself would rather not partake in these affairs, I can trust you to do those in my stead. Do you understand? |
| 37 | ---> '''Eirin:''' …I understand, Princess. |
| 38 | ---> '''Yukari, opening a gap:''' Now then- shall we? |
| 39 | ** Despite being generally mutual towards most Gensokyo, the aforementioned Yukari Yakumo is one such character that Eirin is somehow scared of. This is because of how Yukari was able to fuck with her [[Manga/TouhouBougetsushou one time.]] The gap youkai orchestrated an apparently doomed mission to invade the moon, but through it she was able to obtain, and serve to the exiled Lunarian, a rare bottle of sake from the Moon. This plan was so that Eirin would be faced with an unexplainable moment, as she had previously never feared the youkai of Gensokyo before. Needless to say, this did not sit well with Eirin even to now, long after that amount of {{Troll}}ing. |
| 40 | * Sun Wukong was perplexed at how Eirin managed to pull off creating a substance that granted CompleteImmortality with such ease, when he had to undergo five separate processes to achieve a similar type of it. He also wanted to test such immortality's limits- so he offered to challenge the Brain of the Moon in battle in the House of Pantheon/{{Weapons}} to get a better scope of their respective immortalities. While Eirin did deny the offer of challenge, she would relay such words to Mokou, who was more than eager to try and beat down the Monkey King, while the Lunarian and her companions would watch. The fight lasted for a week, neither side managing to back down right up until Mokou decided to just walk it off, having seen enough of Wukong's strength and being impressed as a result, an opinion shared by Eirin, which resulted in a decent partnership between him and Eientei's group (+ Mokou). |
| 41 | * Has an up-and-down but overall positive partnership with The Medic, and that's putting it lightly. She would constantly chastise him for using live test subjects for his medical experiments, an accusation that the Medic would always ricochet by bringing up how she distributes & tests her [[MemeticMutation shady new drugs]]. Despite this, however, they would collaborate upon trying to improve medicine as a practice overall, finding new ways to bend magic & technology towards curing others. It may indeed be a bit sketchy, but when has that stopped the progression of medicinal science, exactly? |
| 42 | ** One such drug that Eirin had concocted is the Kochoumugan, or the Dream Butterfly Pill, which gives its users pleasant dreams as they sleep. While very few would go out of their way to buy such a product, sources have confirmed Alice Margatroid to be probably the only repeat customer for it, but the reason why is unclear. Speaking of dealings with her fellow deities from Gensokyo, she had also taken an interest in the humanity-hating doll, Medicine Melancholy. Eirin has taken a particular interest in Medicine's poison, but like with Alice's motive for the Kochumugan, nobody else (probably not even Medicine) knows the reason why the Lunarian has such an interest. As for Reisen Udongein Inaba, she serves as Eirin's main subordinate, not just because she's also a Lunarian exile, but for her talents & abilities- her telepathic powers allow her to spy on the Lunar Capital, but most of the time, she just simply works as a peddler in the Human Village for Eientei's brand of pharmaceuticals. |
| 43 | * Was the one who initially recommended to fellow medicine-practicing deity Retsu Unohana of the idea of ascending Florence Nightingale, the '''Goddess of [[TheMedic Medicine]]''', presumably over lunch. When both Retsu & Florence eventually learned of Eirin’s reascension, both were glad of that being the case. They quickly caught each other up what they’ve been doing since the Lunarian’s first departure from the Pantheon, as well as learning of other new doctors & physicians. |
| 44 | ** Some members of the Creator/{{Marvel}} Universe have certain affinities with the Lunarian. For instance, Dr. Erskine often consults with Eirin alongside the GUAG for notes on how to continue improving the [[SuperSerum Super Soldier Serum]], which she usually responds to with tips & positivity. However, this has earned her a few foes as well, such as Red Skull, whose contempt towards Erskine has allowed him to put his attention toward the Lunarian as well, and found her to be quite a considerable foe that has the capacity to throw a wrench in his plans with her intelligence & immortality. |
| 45 | * Eirin's relations with the Moon, its inhabitants, and anyone else related are, to say the least, rather complicated. At first, she was heralded as the Sage of the Moon, an esteemed position belonging to the most brilliant minds of Lunar society. However, with the help of Princess Kaguya, she would manufacture the Hourai Elixir (man this drink really is that important), and would end up with Kaguya's exile as a result of her drinking it. Years pass until Eirin and a few others were sent to Earth to retrieve the princess, but she would instead kill the other emissaries and stay with Kaguya on Earth, and they'd remain for a few hundred years, until the Lunarians finally locked on to their locale. [[VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight What ensued was one of Gensokyo's most intense incidents]], which involved [[BadMoonRising moon masking]], [[TheNightThatNeverEnds a mask on the masked moon]] that was [[WhatTheHellHero caused by the ones trying to stop it]], all the while the heroines themselves [[PoorCommunicationKills are at odds with each other]] (and as a bonus, she was surprised to see Sakuya Izayoi, the Scarlet Devil Mansion's maid there, but only Eirin knows why). And from there, things only get stranger for Eirin, regardless of where she is. |
| 46 | ** The Imperishable Night incident wasn't the only high-profile Lunarian incident that Eirin had to get involved in, because hoo boy this one was a ride in the making. First starting off in the [[VideoGame/TouhouShinpirokuUrbanLegendInLimbo Urban Legend incident]], a mysterious Occult Ball that is separate from the rest would make itself known; this Ball happens to be that of the Lunar Capital, and with it, the Lunarians would then launch [[VideoGame/TouhouKanjudenLegacyOfLunaticKingdom one of the most daring invasions in Gensokyo history]]. In order to stop Earth from being [[HostileTerraforming purified]], Eirin developed a special elixir, known as the Ultramarine Orb Elixir, that would allow the heroines (Reimu, Marisa, Sanae, and eventually, Eirin's own subordinate Reisen) to be free of impurity and take the fight to the culprit. This had been the plan of Sagume Kishin (who [[GreaterScopeVillain also was responsible in a way for the Urban Legend incident]]) all along; she would openly set up her back-up plan to invade Gensokyo so that its resident resolvers would get up and deal with her, and should they succeed, [[MoralPragmatist she would then drop the back-up plan and send them]] to deal with whoever's attacking the Lunarians: the divine spirit Junko. |
| 47 | ** The Hourai Elixir is Eirin’s crown jewel in her vast history of chemistry & knowledge, and it’s one that has seen contention by just about everyone who’s heard about it. It grants an absurdly perfect form of CompleteImmortality and eternal youth to the imbiber, to the point of removing them completely from the cycle of life and death ''forever'' - even nonsense like time travel or paradoxes will fail to kill anything that has ever tasted Hourai. She's been under heavy pressure by multiple other powerful deities in the Pantheon to reveal the exact composition of the Elixir, but she points to [[Pantheon/InsaneBehavior Albedo Piazolla]] as the exact sort of thing she wants to avoid with this- the Elixir's effects are ''permanent'', and it's below someone of her dignity to invoke IWarnedYou. |
| 48 | ** The existence of the Hourai Elixir alone has put Eirin close to the top of Nekron's shitlist, and especially so since it [[NoSell avoids just about every form of removal]], including TimeTravel and [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet paradoxes]]. What's worse for the leader of the GUAD, however, is that ''Eirin herself drank the Elixir as well'', so killing her would be virtually impossible. Eirin, and by extension Kaguya & Mokou, have made the GUAD's shortlist of permanent enemies, as they have become just too sticky to truly remove from existence thanks to the perfect immortality the Hourai Elixir provides. In kind, those at Eientei are more than willing to put them in their place if they ever do so much as try, so if one intends to take the fight to Nekron and his allies, the Hourai immortals are crucial to ensuring any form of success. |
| 49 | ** Eirin's personal thoughts on Junko, Houyi, & Chang'e and the whole debacle surrounding the trio are best described as "rather divided". To briefly recap, here's what happened: Houyi got essentially two bottles of the Hourai Elixir, Chang'e drank both and ascended, then Houyi decided to kill a few birds, and one of them landed on Junko's son resulting in his death, so in a [[DisproportionateRetribution disproportional]] form of EquivalentExchange, Junko now set out to kill Chang'e...who's immortal. And then it got worse when all three became part of the Pantheon at different times, and all three had also known that Eirin was here before them, and they naturally had their own respective opinions- usually negative- about her. For Houyi, he states that her deliverance of the Hourai Elixir to Chang'e started this whole feud, and for Junko, she wants revenge on the Lunarians as Chang’e is associated with them, and are therefore associated in a way to her son’s killer, Houyi. Chang’e herself is the only one who is accepting of Eirin, as she knew that drinking the Elixir was a bad choice in and of itself, but still did so nowadays. In terms of Eirin’s own thoughts, she is very much guilty of what she did to Chang’e as she did to Kaguya and is sorry for it, neutral on Houyi despite his aggression towards her people for locking Chang’e away, and feels some pity for Junko, who, despite being allied with [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations Gigyas]] among other things, is still someone that can be able to let go of her vengeance, and is more than willing to work with her if she asks- a goodness out of her heart and not by Kaguya’s instruction. |
| 50 | ** Leaving behind the moon to pursue a life on Earth is a tough choice to make, but concessions had to be made in order to confirm such a decision. For Eirin, it was to punish herself for getting Kaguya exiled with the Hourai Elixir. But for Magnolia Arch, it was so that she can be together with her soulmate, Yew Genelogia. Both Eirin & Magnolia would often chat up about their lives on their respective Earths and the things they’ve learned while there, as well as the differences between their Moon cultures- including the importance of [[MoonRabbit rabbits]]. |
| 51 | ** Eirin knows very well that the currently-ascended Princess Kaguya in the Pantheon is not the one she actually serves, but still respects her as if she is. Ghibli!Kaguya found the Lunarian’s presence very soothing & enchanting, especially when Eirin visits her temple on some occassions to retell her some tales & times of history that she once shared with Touhou!Kaguya. However, there is yet another Kaguya that Eirin is very much less-approving of, and that isn’t just because of how she looks. At first, Ōtsusuki didn’t see her as a threat at all, when she heard rumors of just how powerful Eirin actually is (as she had first learned of her as an Intermediate Goddess back then), she was quick to be more apprehensive of the Brain of the Moon and what damage she can cause. |
| 52 | ** She sees Queen Nehelenia as a disgrace to any and all lunar inhabitants everywhere, and her alongisde anyone associated with her (especially Queen Beryl) as a threat to Eientei for what they did to their own Moon civilizations, a judgement paid in kind when she was viciously struck by a coordinated attack by not just the Dead Moon Circus, but the Death Busters & Queen Beryl as well, a day after she opened Eientei up to the Sailor Guardians at Touhou!Kaguya’s request. Though she was able to clear off the chaff, her battle against Beryl herself & the Witches Five would begin to push her to her limits, only for Princess Luna [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyNightmareKnights and her crew of cohorts to intercept the fight]] by mere coincidence. By the time many Touhou deities & the Sailor Guardians came to Eirin’s aid, the battle had been turned in the Lunarian’s favor, but like with their attack on Kosuzu, the Dead Moon Circus, and now their other in-universe allies, are once again scorned by all of Gensokyo. As for Eirin’s personal thoughts on Sailor Moon in particular, she respects her as a protector & hero, [[TakeUpMySword able to carry on the legacy that Serenity, her previous incarnation, had.]] |

| 68 | * Skuld is an odd case in the Pantheon. You see, she has been here for a long time... and not really. As a goddess of Undiscovered Country, she was based on [[Fanfic/TheOpenDoor some sort of fan fic]] what didn't even get finished. She stayed as she was until one day, Belldandy found out about this and wanted The Court of Gods to fix this. After they looked into things, they collectively face palmed and made her go through "instant-fire Purgatory" to renew her position. |
| 69 | ** Due of this embarrassing past, she doesn't like to talk about gods from Warhammer 40k or Neon Genesis Evangelion universes. In fact, talking about Lars (a daemon who she seemingly had a relation with and [[MisterSeahorse who she fertilized]]) is sure-fire way to piss her off. |
| 70 | * She has a thing called Direct Manipulation Type Magic that allows her to use magic when dealing with machinery. Note, this trait does not make her good allies with [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} the Incubators]]. |
| 71 | * You really shouldn't get any bright ideas regarding her sister, Belldandy when she's around, unless you want to get into the receiving end of her Skuld Bombs. This makes her sort of allies with the Special Lovers Squad. |
| 72 | ** Both Nyarko and Mahiro has stated that [[Creator/AyaHisakawa she sounds like]] Mahiro's mother if she was younger. Pit also states that she sounds sort of like lady Palutena. In fact, many gods who say she sounds like someone tend to follow-up with "if she was younger". |
| 73 | * Avoids the House of Ghosts due of her fear of ghosts. |
| 74 | * [[VideoGame/Persona2 Can be used as a Persona]] by [[Pantheon/PlotArchetypes Tatsuya Suou and Maya Amano]], at which point her bombs turn into Nuclear-type. |

| 94 | * It's not really known whether he's dead or alive. However, his pre-recorded messages suddenly started being broadcast across the House, and [=GLaDOS=] and a very large contingent of mad scientists have decided they like the idea of listening to Cave. The fact no pre-recorded message seems to have been heard twice supports the idea that at the very least, Cave is present in ''some'' form in the House. |
| 95 | * Cave's life is the holy grail for aspiring mad scientists, who hope to achieve at least a fraction of his genius. Money and sanity optional. |
| 96 | * Cave was one of the few who sponsored the ascension of Polybius, although he refuses to say why. |
| 97 | * As the former Corporate Leader of Black Mesa, Cave despises every single bit of Wallace Breen so much. Breen however doesn't think much of him, since Johnson isn't spotted in the Pantheon (despite having a seat). Then again, [[RivalScienceTeams since Black Mesa and Aperture Science were competitors ever since]], it kinda makes sense why such a threat was needed. |
| 98 | * While he was already dead when [[Pantheon/{{Teleporting}} Chell]] came to Aperture, he can't help but like someone who made great use of all the inventions his company left behind. He's better off not knowing that Chell has a very negative opinion of him exactly because being responsible for that nightmarish laboratory she had to escape twice. |
| 99 | * Cave has been noted to [[Creator/JKSimmons sound like]] [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation J.J. Jameson]], though he disagrees on his anti-Spider-Man stance, hoping to replicate the results someday. Though J.J ''has'' expressed interest in writing about Aperture's creations since it's plenty of news material to work with, and even how said replication experiments could mean that people won't need the real Spider-Man anymore. |

| 123 | ** Others: [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Albert Wesker]], [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Relius Clover]], [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics Ghetsis Harmonia]], [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Yuuki Terumi]], [[Pantheon/BetrayalAndTreachery Ragyo Kiryuin]], [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Xehanort's Incarnations]], [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Mard Geer]], [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Zeref]], [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} The Joker]], [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]], [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Cinder Fall]] |
| 124 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Wiz and Boomstick]] |
| 125 | * Conflicted Opinion on: [[Pantheon/DeathArchetypes Charlie Nash]] |
| 126 | * When offered his original seat in the House of Magic, he went on a rant about how alchemy is ''science'', not magic or miracles or anything like that, since he has to actually carefully study and understand the elements involved in order to be able to do anything. It was pointed out to him [[MagicByAnyOtherName that clapping your hands and altering the world around you is basically magic]]. He took the seat on the condition that they would at least acknowledge that there was a science within it. Asuna Kagurazaka agreed to this. |
| 127 | * Respects Vash, Kenshin, and Kanji. The former two for their views against killing others unless they've crossed the MoralEventHorizon, and the latter for loving his mother. [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther They genuinely love their mamas]]. Kanji on the other hand, seems quite fond of Ed for some [[Creator/RomiPark reason]]. |
| 128 | * Now that his brother's back in his human form, he'll just serve justice although he isn't very noble. |
| 129 | * Is utterly disgusted at the depravity of Relius Clover because the latter's actions are similar to Shou Tucker. Wesker's also high on his target list, considering he and Relius are allies, with the purpose of seeking perfection. Ghetsis is no different than the rest of his enemies. |
| 130 | * It's not a good idea to pull GrandTheftMe on him. The last time he was on the receiving end of it, he destroyed them by turning himself into a Philosopher's Stone, making it backfire. |
| 131 | * For some reason, Guile reminds him of his superior, Roy Mustang, due to [[Creator/TravisWillingham having the same voice]] and also being a soldier. He does learn that Guile has a friend he lost as well, reminding him of another military buddy, Maes Hughes. |
| 132 | * Now with the return of Homunculus (Father), Ed's alchemy will be more of use than before in case of a Homonculi attack. The one exception would be Greed, who he and Al are friends with (even though hearing his "I am Greed and I want the finer things" speeches has gotten beyond tedious). |
| 133 | ** This only became worse with the ascension of Dante, a sad and pathetic body-stealing lowlife who thinks she's worth much more than she really is and actually intended to seduce her timeline's version of Ed with the body of his friend [[spoiler:Rosé]]. |
| 134 | * Is rather uneasy with Dovakhiin due to the fact that the God of Dragonslaying keeps using Soul Gems so carelessly, knowing how they are so similar to Philosopher's Stones. He has confronted him about it, but Dovahkiin always defends his actions by claiming that they either contain the souls of bandits, wolves or giant rats. It does little to make Edward feel more comfortable about it. |
| 135 | * Despite the fact that he claims that he never wore it, rumor has it that [[VisualNovel/FullmetalAlchemistBluebirdsIllusion he once wore]] [[http://img264.echo.cx/img264/7128/homeplan3fa.gif a military uniform]] one time. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking There's also rumors that he was called the Tea Alchemist at the time.]] Lol Ranger, for their own amusement, is attempting to make these rumors a reality. |
| 136 | * Was offered a position of God of Artifical Limbs, but turned it down for reasons unknown. On another note, '''[[BerserkButton NEVER]]''' advise that he should be The God of [[BrattyHalfPint Half Pints]]. Or The God of [[TheNapoleon Vertically Challenged People]]. |
| 137 | ** Unfortunately for him, Tatsumaki ''loves'' teasing him about this despite being short and childish herself even as a full-blown adult. Rand al'Thor is another one who Ed's had to be restrained from attacking due to insensitive comments about his height. |
| 138 | * Is a member of the Mighty Majors along with Alex Armstrong. Of the other members, his working relationship with Jin Kisaragi, who he often calls "Ice Jerk" due to his aloof JerkassFacade, mirrors that between him and Mustang. Also considers Guile's hairstyle odd, referring to it as a "circletop", and has a bit of a mixed opinion on Charlie Nash due to how he got revived by TheIlluminati. |
| 139 | * Due to the many evil gods that betray their family members to achieve some depraved goal, he is willing to be a member of Jin Kazama's anti-parental abuse club. However, since none of his parents abused him in his childhood, he is not a full-time member. |
| 140 | * Is allies with Gust over their mutual skills at Alchemy however Gust's height for her age [[TheNapoleon bugs Ed frequently]]. |
| 141 | * He and his brother Alphonse are baffled at how [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias]] [[Pantheon/LoveOther Gremory]] has the magical ability to change her breast size without giving up something in exchange. As a result, he, along with many other deities, in this house, is trying to investigate the cause of this in order to not look like a pervert. |
| 142 | * Has recently gotten into a feud with Alucard due to the millions of souls he has absorbed, reminding Ed too much of Father. Their relationship has gotten better when Alucard made himself an enemy against the Homunculi. |
| 143 | * The Joker has incurred Ed's wrath when the clown prince [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight left a few messages]] pretending to be Ed's mother and Nina Tucker. [[DudeNotFunny To say Ed didn't find it funny]] [[{{Understatement}} would be an understatement]]. |
| 144 | ** Even though Alphonse, Roy Mustang, Alex Armstrong and [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]] tried to stop him from doing something he'll regret, what made Edward stop was when he noticed Joker [[NotWorthKilling kept laughing as Ed was hitting and choking him]]. |
| 145 | * Edward was left absolutely mortified after seeing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3EIDSIvmZs a video that]] basically told him that the human transmutation recipe he and Al used in an attempt to revive their mother [[spoiler:was '''''completely wrong''''' to begin with and had ''nothing'' to do with the soul]]. |
| 146 | * Made enemies out of the GUAC when he caught wind of the Pantheon/GUACForbiddenScholars sub-division, having heard that some truly abhorrent abuses of science were occurring there. It quickly became apparent that the examples he had heard were merely the tip of the iceberg. [[HeroicBSOD To quote a pale and thouroughly shaken Mr. Elric:]] |
| 147 | -->'''Ed:''' Not a laboratory... a torture chamber... no “breakthrough” is worth... not even the GUAL deserves this...! |
| 148 | * Became friends with Avatar Aang, initially getting along well due to the latter's friendly childish nature which reminds him of Alphonse. The bond became further entrenched when Aang and the Elrics came to recognize each other's tremendous value for life, refusing to kill if it's at all unnecessary and coming to the same realization he did about how the connection between one and all. He even accepts Aang's scolding about having attempted human transmutation [[spoiler:especially in light of the above video]], though he already learned plenty of lessons about that on his path to ascension. |
| 149 | ** That said, their first meeting was actually more hostile than one would expect. He had been in a very foul mood at the time, and he had overheard Aang [[BerserkButton calling him little]]. It escalated into a brutal fight, but just as Aang activated the Avatar State, Katara and Alphonse broke the tension and calmed them both down. |
| 150 | ** However, footage of the battle was caught and sent to Wizard and Boomstick, in which they doctored it into one of their later episodes, [[spoiler:which concluded in Aang's victory by way of Avatar State]]. When said "competitors" watched and realized it was an edited version of their first meeting, [[spoiler:Aang was horrified that he almost did to Edward what he almost did to Ozai, and knowing he intended to do what he actually did to Ozai and then reverse it after they both calmed down did not help much. Either way, Ed had to admit he would've been screwed]] were it not for their friends breaking it up. Naturally, everyone involved despises the two hosts after that. |
| 151 | * Is also somewhat friendly with Aang's successor Korra. Though the two can butt heads when competing or disagreeing on something, they both respect each other and will come to the other's defense when faced with a common threat. |
| 152 | * At some point Asuna, the one who agreed for the House of Magic that his alchemy could be called science-powered magic, approached him and asked to practice using her AntiMagic ability against his alchemy. The result officially proved both sides' point — she could only somewhat minimize the effects of his alchemic attacks on her person and immediate area, but never fully cancel them out. Because of this, Asuna approached him about getting into this house shortly after its creation, resulting in a meeting with the Court of the Gods which ultimately got his seat duplicated here. |
| 153 | * He and Al were invited to Asami Sato's party to celebrate Korra gaining a new seat in the Pantheon. They brought along Winry and, at Al's insistence, Hohenheim, and were both scared stiff to see that Major General Armstrong was there and actually friends with Korra's police chief and Greed's new target of desire. He was also the one who deduced from the strange commentary surrounding [[Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence Illyasviel von Einzbern]] and her friendship with [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Hercules]] that the Greatest Hero of Greece was in fact Illya's infamous scary giant Berserker. A funny moment took place when he tried to introduce [[spoiler:his future wife]] to [[spoiler:Korra's girlfriend]] Asami, only to discover that Winry had already met the Sato heiress, along with MANY other "mechanics" in the Pantheon. |
| 154 | ** Later, the Elric brothers stuck around for the Krew's post-party conversation with Greed. They provided additional context to Greed's re-tellings of the ordeal against Homunculus and his progeny, and whenever Greed almost talked his way into trouble with his "avaricious" persona Ed was there to snark it back down to size. One highlight was when he burst into laughter when he learned the chief's name was Lin, all too similar to Ling Yao. Ed was also the least surprised to hear Greed criticize how Lin handled breaking up with Tenzin, given his insistence on never telling lies, or talk about wanting to mentor Korra's earthbender friend Bolin, knowing how the man's history started with both Ling and Alphonse. |
| 155 | * Earns the absolute respect of the Emperor of Mankind, who considers him and Alphonse champions for the talent, compassion, and overall promise of humanity. |
| 156 | * Has communicated and collaborated with the likes of Iron Man and Spider-Man in the wake of certain Pantheonic incidents. |
| 157 | * Often teams up with the Italian Stallion to tell people who've been hurt that they have the ability to keep moving forward. |
| 158 | * Gained respect for Ajani Goldmane after noting that Ajani was the one who allowed Al to keep shifting between his body and his armor in the Pantheon without using human transmutation or the Philosopher's Stone. |
| 159 | * Got a visit from the mysterious Red Ribbon Android 21 shortly after she ascended to the Pantheon. She'd heard that he took part in a project to create an Earthling Soul fit for her world; said soul had discovered that 21 had been turned into something with powers and a hunger she was never meant to have. While he maintains he had nothing to do with it, he sympathized with her since the experiments happened [[spoiler:for the same reasons as he and Al's attempt to bring their mother back to life]]. Overall, the two made friends while talking science, and the way she was both innocent and intelligent made it almost like talking with Al as a girl. It was a very easy conversation and he's glad to call her a friend. |
| 160 | * Was overjoyed to see the return of Maes Hughes in the Pantheon, especially with his family (and his pictures of them) getting to be his heralds. For a few minutes Ed didn't even care how ridiculous Maes' gushing over Elicia and Gracia was. He was completely unsurprised about that photo getting him ascended, and happy to receive Hughes' compliment on how tall he's grown. Later, Winry took him and Alphonse to meet up with the Hughes family and let them try out Winry's apple pie. It was slightly different from Gracia's, but everyone agreed that it was delicious. |
| 161 | * He once met a Huntsman from the world of Remnant who [[Creator/VicMignogna sounded a lot like him]]. Of course, their first meeting wasn’t great since he felt the need to comment on his [[TheNapoleon stature]], sending the man into a rage. After the initial hostilities, they calmed down around each other. Though, there was some weirdness lingering, since Edward misunderstood Qrow’s ability to [[spoiler: turn into a bird]] as him being some kind of chimera. Once all the misunderstanding was cleared, the two became steadfast allies. |
| 162 | ** [[Webvideo/StarTrekContinues An unusual connection]] was also found with Captain Kirk, and they got along while also being impressed with what each other carried — Ed's magical science, and Kirk's [[ClarkesThirdLaw almost magical technology]]. |
| 163 | * As elaborated above, his seat can also be found in the [[Pantheon/FieldsOfMagic House of Magic]]. |

| 186 | * On Speaking Terms With: [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Kang the Conqueror]], [[Pantheon/OtherDimensions Rick Sanchez]] |
| 187 | * TheMultiverse is a vast place with near limitless possibilities. In it there exists an AlternateUniverse, an AlternateHistory and an AlternateSelf. Such is the case with Reed Richards of Earth-1610. Unfortunatly this Reed Richards is from an UltimateUniverse, but not just any UltimateUniverse, ''THE'' [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]]. The universe where unless your name is either Peter Parker or Miles Morales, you're either a [[AdaptationalJerkass bigger jerk then usual]] and or even ''worse'' [[AdaptationalVillainy of a villain then usual]], and this Reed was both. |
| 188 | * This Reed Richards didn't start out as a villain, he was initially a simple man who wanted to help the world in the best way he knew how. Unfortunately [[TraumaCongaLine tragedy after tragedy]] would eventually [[FallenHero lead him down the path of villainy]]. Starting off with an [[AbusiveParents abusive father]][[labelnote:*]]All other Reeds have a DisappearedDad, so he's already off to a bad start.[[/labelnote]] who never cared for science and would openly speak of how much he preferred Ben Grim (his OnlyFriend) instead, and received almost [[DudeWheresMyRespect zero respect]] from anyone. It wasn't until years later that his life turned for the better, when he joined a government think tank, found a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure]] in Franklin Storm, a new love in Susan Storm and a family in the [[ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour new Fantastic Four]]. Unfortunately, absolutely none of this would last. His attempts to help improve humanity and the world were repeatedly rejected. His wedding proposal to Sue was interrupted thanks to ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}, with said proposal later being completely rejected when Reed went to save the world instead of being by her side[[labelnote:*]]ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}} put her in a coma[[/labelnote]]. This was immediately followed by Sue leaving him and having the team disbanded, forcing him to go back to her family. The final nail in the coffin was when Kang the Conqueror [[spoiler:[[FutureMeScaresMe a future Sue Storm]]]] warned him about the [[ComicBook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand coming disaster]], finally turning him into the [[FallenHero terror he is today]]. |
| 189 | * Nobody knows how The Maker managed to access the Pantheon. Nobody had sought to give him a position, be it Herald, High Priest, or Follower. Nobody even made a proposal to bring him in. [[HowIsThatEvenPossible Somehow]], [[BeyondTheImpossible beyond all understanding]], he entered Pantheon by himself, gave the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods his resume and was then made the God of [[ScienceIsBad Evil Science]]. What's even more concerning is how he's already aware of events that have taken place in Pantheon, knows about Gods that [[RetGone no longer reside]], and has made claims to know of Gods and events that will appear in the future. Many are concerned, but at the same time, many are interested in what he knows and what he's willing to offer. |
| 190 | * It has to be said, even though Reed Richards of Earth-1610 had lived a hard and difficult life, especially one in a hard and cruel world, it doesn't remotely excuse him for the crimes he's committed. He had a loving and caring mother and sister who supported him, a loyal friend who defended him since childhood, and a father figure who encouraged his love of science. These people no longer mean anything to him. |
| 191 | * Naturally, the Richards Family weren't exactly thrilled to see him, Reed especially. When Reed first met his {{alternate self}}, he was initially taken back by how amoral and ruthless he was. He sees his other self as everything that he [[EvilMeScaresMe feared he would become]], and still may be. The Maker in turn wasn't very thrilled to see them either. But this was mostly towards Johnny and Ben Grim. He [[ScarsAreForever still has the scars]] that Johnny scorched onto his face, and he's seemly still sore about the Ben Grim of his earth [[TheBroCode hooking up with Susan Storm]]. Despite his relationship with his counterpart family, The Maker actually has some respect for his prime counterpart, both for his intelligence and idealism. |
| 192 | * Besides the Fantastic Four, Doom was absolutely furious to see The Make enter Pantheon. Mostly because he didn't like seeing another Reed Richards running around. That and he understood that ''this'' Reed Richards [[EvenEvilHasStandards was far too dangerous to move freely]]. In a rare moment of [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness non self-service]], Doom warned the residents of Pantheon of the danger that is The Maker. While this made The Maker's existence and crimes known to the public, it also gave The Maker an easier time to find new allies and form new partnerships with others. Although he probably already had an idea who he wanted to meet up with anyways. |
| 193 | ** Unlike other gods from his home reality, The Maker is on good terms with the [[ConquerorFromTheFuture Time Traveling Conqueror]], Kang. The one he personally knows has no relation to the version most others are familiar with, but he doesn't really mind that. The Maker sees Kang as someone who [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans understands what needs to be done]]. That the [[CrapsackWorld world is a mess]] and that someone needs to fix it. |
| 194 | ** The only person who wasn't ''un''happy about The Makers arrival was [[GalacticConqueror Thanos]]. The two having met at the [[ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman eve]] of the [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Incursions]]. In the brief time they've met, Thanos developed a begrudging sense of [[VillainRespect respect]] for the [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome alternate Reed Richards]]. |
| 195 | ** Eddie Brock wasn't happy to see The Maker again, but at the same time he's glad he doesn't have to worry about looking where to find him. Eddie knows that The Maker has answers, about his son Dylan, Knull and other questions he doesn't know need answering. Both Eddie and Venom plan on getting their answers, one way or the other. |
| 196 | * The thing that makes The Maker so [[SlidingScaleOfVillainThreat dangerous]] and [[SlidingScaleOfVillainEffectiveness effective]] is also what makes the main Reed Richards such a great hero: he's super smart. Invent a device to {{depower}} other superheroes and give others similar, but superior versions of said power? Tell him what said power is and he'll have it done in a couple minutes. Ask him to build a [[WeaponofMassDestruction weapon]] capable of destroying a [[PlanetDestroyer planet]]? He probably already has one laying around. Build an impenetrable fortress capable of withstanding attacks from weapons and [[PersonOfMassDestruction beings of mass destruction]], nearly impossible to sneak, or hack into, can hack other machines, defend itself from attacks, [[YearInsideHourOutside has time]] and [[BiggerOnTheInside space work differently from the inside]], and [[MadScientistLaboratory works as a personal lab]]? He calls that The City and he built a new one into his temple and turned it into a herald. Create an entire race of [[{{Transhuman}} hyper evolved humans]] with the power and capabilities to take down PhysicalGods? He did that already, called them the "The Children of Tomorrow", and they destroyed [[HomeOfTheGods Asgard]] and everyone in it[[labelnote:*]]They pulled a HeelFaceTurn and betrayed him. He thought about trying it again, but decided against it.[[/labelnote]]. What's more is that this is simply what he can do with his brain, [[{{Rubberman}} his actual powers]]? |
| 197 | ** After the [[FreakLabAccident accident]] that transformed his body gave him his powers and tuned him into Mister Fantastic, Reed has since no longer needed to eat, sleep, or breathe. He doesn’t bleed, excrete, or age. He no longer has any [[BizarreAlienBiology internal organs]], or posses an actual skeletal structure. The moment he stopped being [[ScienceHero Mister Fantastic]] and became [[MadScientist The Maker]], Reed effectively stopped being human. In almost [[CompleteMonster every way]] [[HumanoidAbomination conceivable]]. Without the concepts of humanity and morality, Reed used his powers and abilities to its most logical and [[BodyHorror horrific]] conclusion. He can, and actively does, stretch out his brain for more brain power. He can heal {{from a single cell}} and creat an {{expendable clone}} with said ability from a single strand of hair. He can stretch out his body in a way that lets him become multiple people, while still sharing a single body. And while he's effectively immortal, having an near indestructible body, nobody has ever seen him in the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem when successful at actually killing him. [[spoiler:This is because Owen Reece, The Molecule Man, after seemly killing him, placed a piece of him in every universe that was made after the [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 third Secret Wars]]. [[FightingAShadow All of them share a single mind within multiple bodies across the entire multiverse.]]]] |
| 198 | * With [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse his world]] having [[{{Crossover}} crossed over]] with the world of the [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Gods]], The Maker has made himself known to a number of it's residents. Lex Luthor approached and offered him the chance to join his LegionOfDoom. Saying that he could give The Maker all the money, equipment, info and resources he would ever need. But to his surprise, The Maker claimed that he had all of those and ''more''. Teleporting Luthor and himself to his temple, Luthor saw that he was telling him the complete truth. [[spoiler:What's more alarming was how The Maker somehow had [[SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands recordings]] of [[ComicBook/DCYearOfTheVillain him slaughtering]] his [[OtherMeAnnoysMe alternate counterparts]]]]. The Maker made it clear that he knows and has anything and everything he would ever need, but he still decided to join him and his LegionOfDoom. Saying that they are better as allies than enemies. |
| 199 | ** Much to Luthor's (and everyone else's) shock, he learned that along with already knowing what's going on in his own reality, The Maker is also well acquainted with The Batman Who Laughs. He thankfully explained just how the two [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Q7jCid_3I knew each other]]. But to everyone's concern, there's no hostility between them. In fact the two are mostly friendly with each other. There's a sense of rivalry between the two, despite or maybe ''because of'' the two having different plans and end goals. There's also been rumors of the two having made some trade with Iso-8 (more info bellow) for [[FantasyMetals Nth Metal]]. The two have been disturbingly silent on the mater. |
| 200 | ** With DC being filled with {{Alternate Universe}}s and [[AlternateSelf Alternate selves]], The Maker was made aware of the existence of the [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs Regime Superman]]. While the [[FallenHero rogue Superman]] had zero interest in the [[MadScientist mad Reed]] with how he was allied with Luthor, Brainiac, Joker and was vaguely associated with the Evil Batman; The Maker made multiple attempts to speak with him. Eventually the Regime Superman decided to hear him out, The Maker claimed that he merely wanted to help solve all the problems in the world including Superman's. He told him about a [[ComicBook/TalesFromTheDarkMultiverse Lois Lane in the Dark Multiverse]] that not only [[ExcessiveMourning mourns]] [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman his death]], but has decided to take a [[KnightTemplar similar stance has him]]. He says that with how all Universes in the Dark Multiverse are [[ExpendableAlternateUniverse doomed to fail]] she doesn't have much time to live. With The Maker's extensive knowledge of multiversal travel and exploration and the Regime's kryptonian technology, they could access the [[Pantheon/{{Dimensions}} Dark Multiverse]] and save Lois. The idea of a Lois Lane in danger, one that also shared his world view, was all he needed to hear to agree to whatever The Maker wanted. [[ManipulativeBastard And it was all what The Maker needed to do to acquire both new advanced technology and a pawn to keep it safe]]. |
| 201 | * The Maker considers the existence of the Pantheon to be an intriguing anomaly. He noticed that it seemingly acts as a nexus point for the omniverse, yet at the same time is separate from any reality it connects to. Individuals who [[CessationOfExistence shouldn't exist]], or [[{{Retgone}} no longer exist]] walk freely without consequence, [[DeathIsCheap death is meaningless]] even though there is still a reaper and an afterlife ([[Pantheon/{{Dimensions}} several even]]), [[CosmicEntity Beings of higher power]] can walk among mortals and the laws reality are even more flexible than any universe he's ever seen. One of The Maker's plans is to find out what exactly makes the Pantheon work this way and how he can use it to his advantage. He's glad to know that he wasn't the only one to take notice to this, as the New God Metron thought the exact same. |
| 202 | * One of the first things the Maker did upon ascending, was to bring in W.H.I.S.P.E.R. (World Headquarters for International Scientific/Philosophical Experimentation and Research) as his herald in the Pantheon. W.H.I.S.P.E.R. is a scientific organization similar to the NebulousEvilOrganisation A.I.M (Advanced Idea Mechanics)[[labelnote:*]]It basically is A.I.M., because many of its members are from A.I.M. from before Bobby da Costa/Sunspot did a hostile takeover and changed the "A" from Advanced to [[ComicBook/NewAvengers2015 Avengers]] instead[[/labelnote]]. His goal was to bring it into the Pantheon not only to counter [[TheSpymaster Nick Fury]] and [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction S.H.I.E.L.D]], but to also bring in some like-minded individuals. Luring in other scientists to push science to its limits, to reshape the world and everything in it. To ensure further success in recruitment, he offered a free supply of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Isotope-]][[GreenRocks 8]]. A strange ore that can be found across the Multiverse (potentially native to earth) and can improve everything and anything be it physical, magical, technological, cosmic, demonic or divine. |
| 203 | ** Being the leader of his own [[NebulousEvilOrganisation organization]], The Maker is considered to be competition towards others others like HYDRA, The Arachnos Organization and SHOCKER. Although it's more [[FriendlyRivalry friendly competition]] between him and [[SuperIntelligence Lord Recluse]]. Needless to say, The Maker is now seen as an enemy to the likes of Stateman and every Toku Hero in Pantheon. |
| 204 | ** Thanks to the help of W.H.I.S.P.E.R., The Maker was successful in forming a number of partnerships in the mad scientist community. Some of the most notable ones are the '''Evilutionists of Mad Science''', they don't let, or care for things like "morality" and "ethics" to get in the way of their experiments and goals. Albert Wesker and William Birkin were considerably beneficial allies, having generously donated samples of both the T and G-Virus for experimentation. Relius Clover is someone who he's come to respect, reasons being for both his accomplishments, scientific brain [[spoiler:and for being the first to notice his Multiversal Omnipresence. Seemingly with but a single glance]]. |
| 205 | ** Promestein came in contact with The Maker when looking further into how the world worked, having heard that one of The Maker's goals is to learn how the Pantheon truly functions, as well as already having an extensive knowledge of TheMultiverse of his world, and potentially other worlds too. He was surprisingly generous and shared all the information he had. He says that he's more than willing to share any and all scientific information needed to help further someones research and work. Being more than grateful, Promestein took to learning everything she could, even taking some notes in his genetics lab [[spoiler:to help perfect her White Rabbit drug]]. |
| 206 | ** Of course, being a popular figure in the mad scientist community, he's largely hated by other more benevolent scientists. Those who believe that science should be a [[ScienceIsGood force for good]], like the '''Philanthropists of Benevolent Science''', Senku Ishigami, Dr. Light and the The Elric Family see The Maker as everything science ''should't'' be. Those who use science as a source of [[ScienceHero heroism]], like Qubit, Jimmy Neutron and of course Mister Fantastic, see him as a near personal enemy. Prime Reed Richards being the most obvious reason. |
| 207 | * Rick Sanchez heard about how The Maker was trying to find a way to enter and restore his home universe, a universe he claims to still be destroyed, despite [[ComicBook/SpiderMenII certain events]] proving otherwise. Thinking it would be fun to humiliate The Maker, Rick went to see the universe for himself and maybe take a few pictures to show off. It was a little harder then he'd like to admit to access and then enter, but he eventually made an operating portal and went in to see it for himself. [[spoiler:Turns out it was destroyed, but in a [[ApocalypseHow/Class2 Class 2]] fashion instead of [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 Class X4]] like he initially thought]]. When came back he showed The Maker pictures [[spoiler:of the still burning buildings]] from his universe. |
| 208 | * If it wasn't clear already, The Maker's ultimate goal is to turn the world into a {{utopia}}, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans using any means necessary]]. To reach said goal, The Maker formed a partnership with those that not only share the same goal, but are also willing to get their hands dirty. With a few choice of words, he was able to recruit Clu, Yamato Hotsuin, Light Yagami and Ozymandias. This is notable because Yamato opposes [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]], Clu's and Light's leader. In truth, The Maker [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist doen't]] care for the good of the world and is only in it to prove he's better than everyone else, but his allies actually do believe him. Partially because he's [[ManipulativeBastard that good at using people]], but also because he has the brains, tech and power to do it. It doesn't hurt that he actually ''did'' [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome manage to make his world a better place]], [[StatusQuoIsGod even if it was only for a short time before the heroes stopped him]]. What's more is that he has [[VillainHasAPoint valid reasons]] for his extreme actions. He tried to help, but others wouldn't let him. He tried to be "good", but nothing helped. He had the answers, but no one listened. It was almost like they ''wanted'' to live in a [[CrapsackWorld broken world]]. While this is a massive load of [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]], The Maker has little care or interest for those who wish for [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans despotism]] and/or [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans dystopia]]. |
| 209 | ** His partnership with Ozymandias has lead to him learning of the existence of Dr. Manhattan. He's genuinely amazed at both his [[PhysicalGod power]] and the mental fortitude he needed to [[SelfConstructedBeing pull himself back together]] after [[TheDisembodied losing his body]]. |
| 210 | ** While this should come to no surprise, Zamasu has a special sense of distaste for the alternate Reed Richards. While he can understand the frustration of having superiors that not only refuse to act, but actively hinder progress, and the desire to create a perfect world; he's disgusted with The Maker's lack of humanity [[spoiler:and for his unnatural form of immortality]]. [[HypocrisyNod The irony is not lost on him]]. |
| 211 | * In search to lean more of the world and beyond, The Maker eventually came across Lord Drakkon, the most dangerous and feared Power Ranger to ever exist. [[VillainousFriendship The two work almost perfectly together]]. The Maker would not only help Drakkon in increasing his power in exchange for learning more about the [[SentientCosmicForce Morphin' Grid]] but The Maker would also strengthen Drakkon‘s belief that he isn’t the flawed Tommy Oliver. The Maker seemingly genuinely believes that Drakkon is the ultimate version of himself, having acquired [[PhysicalGod power like no other]], [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome having dealt with every threat to earth by himself]], and having created a utopia where everyone was safe and happy until a "flawed" version Oliver came up and ruined everything. Drakkon genuinely appreciates The Maker’s friendship and support. |
| 212 | * Space isn't an area that The Maker regularly deals in, preferring to focus more on earth, or other earths first. But it doesn't mean he's unfamiliar with what's out there. He himself had personally put an end to his world's version of [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures Thanos]], was there to stop [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Gah Lak Tus]] and later [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Galactus]] himself. He's been more active in the field and has proceeded to make even more enemies and allies. |
| 213 | ** The Doctor completely and absolutely despises The Maker. Being a member of the Overseers of Time and Space and a partner of [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse The Living Tribunal]], The Doctor is given special insight of what others do in the greater omniverse and is completely disgusted with The Maker's actions. Besides faking his own redemption and having destroyed sixty-seven different earths during the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Incursions]], all while keeping the event a secret from everyone, he tricked Nick Fury into having the heroes of Earth-1610 to attack Earth-616. And these are only some of the crimes he's aware of. While The Maker normally wouldn't care, he did feel the need to point out that not only was what he did [[IDidWhatIHadToDo needed]], the other heroes set out to do the exact same thing. Only he didn't back out at the last minute, cause the superhero community to split and have them ignore the end of everything in the process. |
| 214 | ** Without having to anything towards them, The Maker has earned the ire of both the entire Jedi Order and the Rebel Alliance. Besides already having an infamous reputation, he began supplying TheEmpire with advanced weapons and battle ships. What's even worse is that they ''know'' these weapons from the [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends Universe]] and they know just how dangerous they can be. They initially ''hoped'' that they were well made replicas, but that was until The Maker approached Vader with a [[LavaAddsAwesome magma kyber crystal]], a kyber crystal that could only be found on [[SingleBiomePlanet magma planets]] like [[VolcanoLair Mustafar]] ''specifically'' in the Legends Universe. When The Maker approached Vader, he offered a deal between him, the Jedi and Rebel Alliance. Namely that he would supply them with improved weaponry, vehicles, equipment and of course kyber crystals, as long as they turn a blind eye and leave him alone. Obviously they refused, but those who were closer to TheDarkSide agreed to his offer. Concluding that the equipment was too valuable and useful to deny, all the while fully aware that they're playing right into The Maker's plan. |
| 215 | ** Among the many entities that either hate, tolerate or somehow enjoy the presence of The Maker, The Emperor of Mankind instead pities him. The Emperor knows that he's tried to do good, tried to ''be'' good, but they wouldn't let him help. As someone who knows the potential in humanity and despises the ineptitude of those in charge, he knows his frustration and pain. He's upset with how The Maker, someone who he believes should have been the [[BigGood Ultimate Hero]] is instead [[BigBad The Ultimate Enemy]]. |
| 216 | ** In an effort to to find and acquire more manpower and to ensure that his business runs smoothly, The Maker sought out for a mercenary or freelancer. He decided to hire two known soldiers, Felix and The Meta. He managed to hire them both by paying them not only with money, but with further upgraded versions of their equipment and the opportunity for revenge. The Maker even gave The Meta a special AI, a Smart AI made from The Maker's own brain. Fully capable of operating anything and everything The Meta's previous AI's did and more. He gave Felix a personal [[LaserBlade Energy Sword]], made specifically to work only for him. |
| 217 | ** Shepard really hates The Maker. Like The Doctor he hates him for how he destroyed sixty-seven different earths and all of it's inhabitants without remorse and almost getting away with it. He sees the alternate Richards as an affront to the heroic prime version, and swears to make him pay for all of his crimes. His partnership with The The Illusive Man did little to improve things, especially with how much more effective and dangerous Cerberus became with their new partnership. |
| 218 | ** The Maker came in contact with The Combine through Dr. Wallace Breen. Despite having [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien incredibly advanced alien technology]], they're severely lacking in {{teleportation}} technology. They sent Wallace to recruit him, knowing full well that the Ultimate Reed Richards can fix their problem easily. Having made a number of deals and alliances with aliens in the past, he accepted without much problem. But he has yet to deliver, claiming that with each universe having different sets of rules and laws with in how they function, teleportation included, a single mistake could lead to massive consequences, not to mention a loss of valuable resources. This is all a complete lie though, he had the tech ready before they even heard of him. He's just biding his time, studying ''their'' technology and working alongside Wallace to overthrow The Combine. |
| 219 | *** [[spoiler:What's actually concerning is that there was a report of the G-Man being spotted speaking with The Maker. Members of the Houses of Pantheon/{{Science}}, Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology, Pantheon/SpaceAndCosmos built a device to try to spy and monitor the G-Man. The device was a complete success, and they were able to briefly spy on the G-Man talking to The Maker in an [[BlankWhiteVoid unknown area]]. Unfortunately, the device wasn't perfect and ''both'' individuals saw that they were being spied on. The device immediately malfunctioned and all attempts to replicate it have been met with failure.]] |
| 220 | * The Maker isn’t really interested in the Grand United Alliances or their ForeverWar. Half of them don’t even want him involved. The only one that he actually pays attention to is the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction. [[EvilVersusOblivion Because he can’t fix the world if their is no world in it]]. It’s also why he’s against the Anti-Monitor. |
| 221 | * The gods recently noticed The Maker contemplating his home multiverse for long periods of time. Worried that he was hatching a new plan, they decided to investigate. What they found left them in shock: [[spoiler:one of The Maker's bodies had infiltrated [[ComicBook/UltimateUniverse2023 another universe]] and begun tampering with its development, namely by [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight preventing numerous heroes like Spider-Man, Thor or even himself from coming to be]], and putting the world under the control of a secret council of villains while presenting himself as a god to its inhabitants, ruling the world from inside a new version of The City]] |
| 222 | ** [[spoiler:Luckily for everyone, his plans came crashing down when he tried to bring Howard Stark (that universe's version of IronMan) into his conspiracy. Howard was disgusted by The Maker's actions and worked with the native Reed Richards to put an end to it. To that end, he sacrificed himself to trap The Maker inside The City along with the universe's Kang the Conqueror, while entrusting his son Tony to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.]] The gods breathed a sigh of relief, but The Maker was strangely (and disturbingly) calm about it. |

| 248 | * Interested in: [[Pantheon/TheatricConvention The Inklings]] [[Pantheon/CraftingMaterials and Octolings]]. |
| 249 | * [[FromNobodyToNightmare Originally an ordinary man]] who wished to help improve the world through atomic physics, the man who eventually become "Dr.Octopus" simply was involved in a laboratory accident involving his [[MultiArmedAndDangerous robotic limbs that were mistaken for tentacles]]. His mind would devolve from those original intentions, and his goals suddenly turned towards conquering New York with his [[MadScientist intellect]], but most of all getting revenge against Spider-Man for ruining those many plans he formed in their long-standing feud. |
| 250 | * Eventually his body grew too weary of battle and his life was brought to an end by Peter Paker...or at least that is what he wanted the world to believe. In fact, the self-proclaimed Superior Spider-Man [[FreakyFridayFlip took over his nemesis' body]] and decided to become a [[VillainProtagonist better hero]] than Peter Paker ever was in his life. So much so that he created Parker Industries, continued to fight crime like the former owner of the friendly neighborhood spider, and over time he believed that he was indeed Peter Paker with the body and all. [[StatusQuoIsGod Eventually Otto's reign came to an end]] as he decided to give up this body back to Peter, his pride even admitting that his old foe was the superior one after all before ascending into the pantheon. |
| 251 | * In another world after the death of Rosie and dying to save New York after threatening it with his solar-powered energy machine, the man who resembled Creator/AlfredMolina in this reality [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome seemingly has arrived in the Pantheon with a grin on his face knowing that he would find his old protegee here]]. |
| 252 | -->'''Doctor Octopus:''' Hello, Peter. |
| 253 | * To say Peter Parker was [[ArchEnemy not happy to see this man]] in the pantheon would be an understatement among understatement. Considering the fact this [[DrunkWithPower former doctor stole his life, body, and name]] Peter had to be held back from getting even with this man who considered him a simple-minded dolt. That and Otto at several points had dates with Aunt May even [[VillainOverForDinner staying in the same apartment at one point]] and they nearly got married... |
| 254 | ** To say Felicia Hardy was ready to kill his deity as soon as she heard about his ascension would be the understatement of all understatements. It was [[FallenHero because of him]] that her life fell apart [[StartOfDarkness when she was captured by the authorities]], which he didn't care about calling her a failure as both a [[ClassyCatBurglar criminal theif]] and a [[CardCarryingVillain crime lord]] of super-villains. He regrets [[KickTheDog not killing this "irrelevant feline fatale"]] on that rooftop during that fateful night. |
| 255 | ** [[OverlyLongGag To say Gwen and Mary were not happy to see this devious doctor join the pantheon would be an under-yeah you see the picture]]. Mary, in particular, hates this villain for trying to pretend that he was Peter himself, and [[ShipSinking trying to get close to her]] while Gwen despises Octavius for his experiments and the fact he abuses the responsibility of [[EvilCounterpart being empowered with spider-abilities]]. |
| 256 | * Stephen isn't fond of this man not only for hurting people despite doctors meaning to usually help people but also [[Film/SpiderMan2 for almost taking his own name]] at one time. |
| 257 | * Despite his long list of enemies there are a few allies of Otto including members of the Sinister Six team or another criminal like Mysterio. There was also [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2000 the alliance]] between Cletus Kasady, AKA Carnage to create an army of symbiotes earning the ire of his own [[ArchEnemy main enemy]] Venom. The relationship with the red symbiote would come up again for a [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 brief moment]] as he became Monster Ock. |
| 258 | * He's also discovered quite a few other kinds of doctors who also invent all sorts of weapons, tools, and devices made to defeat their sworn enemies who [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog both]] are [[Franchise/MegaMan blue]] in color. |
| 259 | * Other fellow researchers such as Albert Wesker, his sister, his best friend in the academy they studied in, and one of the Ashford twins were impressed by the intellect of this multi-talented super-villain. This is how Norman 're-encountered his [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan off-again]] [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 on-again]] major rival in science and villainy who agreed to a truce...[[TeethClenchedTeamwork for the moment]]. |
| 260 | * While Otto doesn't approve of all the methods and ideals of Red Skull's organization he would be lying if he didn't admit they could be useful in some areas. [[spoiler: His own clone duplicate took advantage of this in order to take down their common enemy in Peter Parker and his company]]. |
| 261 | * He has worked extremely well with another super-powered individual known as Mister Negative [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 with their shared disgust for Norman Osborn in one reality]] fueling their actions nearly destroying Spider-Man's home in the process. |
| 262 | * Has begun to consider forming a group for scientists in the Pantheon with being on good terms with Robotnik, Wily, and now Cortex and Gero to begin such a faction of scientist gods. Later on, a snake-themed researcher offered up his talents by the name Orochimaru while Otto considered if this might lead to a "science" branded incarnation of the Sinister Six in the future. |
| 263 | * Many different mutants are seen by him as either useless creatures undeserving of being human or [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable test guinea pigs]] to study the x-gene for potentially nightmarish creations. |
| 264 | * There have been many different versions of this scientist throughout the multiverse including [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions two female]] [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse versions whom also share a grudge with different incarnations of Spider-Man]]. Those events just also happened to feature multiverse locations on the verge of danger as well. |
| 265 | * Otto was later assaulted by Jonathan Joestar when the latter learned of his theft of Peter's body. Despite Otto's best efforts, Jonathan quickly broke through his defenses and beat him so badly that Octopus was left in the hospital for several weeks. Having endured yet another humiliation, Otto has sworn vengeance against Jonathan. |

| 281 | * NOVA Laboratories has developed S.A.I.N.T., a group of prototype robots to be used for the military, but a lightning strike brings one of the robots to life and it escapes afterwards. Coming across Stephanie Speck, an animal caretaker in Oregon, Number Five learns about the world around him and decides to deal with problems in a non-lethal way, going against his original programming. After fully evading NOVA’s efforts to capture him, Number Five names himself Johnny Five and after some time living in Montana with Stephanie and former NOVA scientist Newton Crosby, he is sent to a big city by his friends to help Benjamin Jahveri, a struggling toy designer who got fired from NOVA Laboratories over the earlier incident. As Johnny Five sought to be acknowledged as sentient while assisting Ben and his business partner Fred Ritter in designing toys, the robot got involved with some thieves led by Oscar Baldwin and got badly beaten up after finding out Oscar’s intentions. Despite his injuries, Johnny Five was able to carry out non-lethal revenge on the thieves and in thwarting their efforts, got his wish of being acknowledged as a sentient being fulfilled. |
| 282 | * Life had been going great for Johnny Five since being accepted as a sentient being. Having better understood how owning a car and keeping it safe works, it was a matter of time before he got an unrelated letter in the mail from an unknown benefactor who was curious about a robot’s status as a living being and wanted to talk to him. Johnny would meet the sender of the letter in a building and he would be told about the possibility of meeting other robots who shared his status and be a god alongside them. The whole notion of being a god was merely an exaggeration, but Johnny was more than excited at the possibility of meeting other robots who shared his status as a living being. There was a whole lot of input for Johnny to take in since that meeting, including the fact that there were many worlds waiting for him outside his home and he would need a lot more items for that utility pack of his to better explore his undiscovered surroundings. |
| 283 | * Despite being designed for the military and the wars they engage in, Johnny Five is against the idea of killing someone, preferring to confront his enemies through non-lethal means and later replacing all of the military weapons he had with a multi-purpose utility belt. One other heavily armed robot that preferred to be peaceful was The Iron Giant and despite the size difference, Johnny easily befriended him. One thing that concerned Johnny was that The Iron Giant was apparently designed to be far more destructive than a mere military robot and could go on a rampage if angered enough. As much as Johnny would like to tinker around with The Iron Giant’s machinery to remove his violent aspects not dissimilar to how he reprogrammed three robots sent to capture him to act like The Three Stooges, Johnny realized that the Pantheon as a whole is a far bigger world and The Iron Giant choosing to be like Superman was more than necessary to keep innocents safe from any danger that’s headed their way. |
| 284 | * At a glance, WALL-E looks and acts similar to Johnny, being a robot with treads for movement that’s fascinated with the world around them. WALL-E ended up going on a much grander adventure thanks to a chance meeting with EVE, a more advanced robot he fell in love with, and how important a plant he liked ended up being to rebuilding Earth. Seeing EVE’s plasma cannon reminded Johnny of his own laser weapon he once used before uninstalling it entirely and while he can’t do anything about EVE’s weapon, he is aware that she has mainly used it for self-defense if she or WALL-E are in danger. To WALL-E, seeing Johnny was like looking at an older sibling and a version of himself who was originally built with EVE’s firepower and traded it for a utility belt to understand the world around him. Johnny was more than eager to explore the Pantheon with another curious robot and has tagged along with WALL-E and EVE in seeing what the world had to offer, with EVE providing additional power in case Johnny’s utility belt isn’t enough against any threats that are lurking. |
| 285 | * Robot warfare is something that Johnny wants no part in, especially if it comes from groups such as Null Sector that are hell-bent on wanting mechanical superiority at the expense of humankind, but learning about how it was possible for normally peaceful robots to turn violent scared him significantly. That was what happened with Bastion, a peacekeeping robot that turned violent during the Omnic Crisis, a war between robots and humans, but what happened with this Bastion unit gave Johnny a reason to want to meet him. When that war ended, Bastion would reactivate after a period of inactivity with great interest in the world around him and wanting to live in peace, with bad memories of the Omnic Crisis triggering his combat protocols. It was a much longer process for Bastion to go from killing machine to mostly peaceful robot (and was even the latter before the Omnic Crisis happened) than Johnny’s transition from robot designed for war to someone who wants to deal with things non-lethally, but Johnny remained sympathetic to Bastion’s ordeal (and Bastion felt the same way about Johnny after hearing about his backstory) and even if Johnny learned from input he gathered that trauma takes a long time to heal from, he’s hopeful Bastion can overcome it to live a truly peaceful life. |
| 286 | * Being designed as a military weapon of war was something that didn’t sit well with Johnny once he gained sentience and the fact that the Pantheon had many different ways of carrying out war and different kinds of weapons to use was even more distressing to him. If that wasn’t enough to rattle that robot, then hearing about various groups of warmongers who took glee in their job would put Johnny on edge in trying to avoid them as much as possible. With access to highly advanced robots, The Corpus is a conglomerate who seeks technology and will do anything to make a profit, especially if it involves warfare, and an organization that Johnny is horrified by. Even if he comes off as antiquated in terms of weapons and appearance compared to other robots, it doesn’t change the fact that he doesn’t want to be turned back into a weapon of war with weapons far more deadly than just a laser beam at the hands of entities far more dangerous than his previous pursuers. |
| 287 | * Since Stephanie originally mistook Johnny to be an alien, he had been wondering how she would feel about going to the Pantheon and learning that there are many extraterrestrials running around. When it came to actual mechanical lifeforms of an extraterrestrial nature, Johnny learned of one incident that Courage the Cowardly Dog went through regarding Robot Randy. Despite initially enslaving Courage and the Bagges, Randy had no desire in planetary conquest compared to the rest of his kind and it was after getting beaten in a dance contest against Courage that Randy was able to pursue his passion of woodcarving. There were more than a few parallels of a robot made for warfare that went against his directive that Johnny noticed and he offered to provide help for Courage, which the dog accepted after finding Johnny to be like a smaller version of Randy. |
| 288 | * Robots having a desire to be acknowledged as an equal to humans or having a case like Jenny Wakeman where they want to live a life like regular humans do was something that fascinated Johnny and he found stories about such a subject to be compelling. One such story that took many different paths that surprised Johnny came from a trio of androids from Detroit consisting of a police officer, a mother, and a resistance leader who advocated for android rights. Their path to a better future for androids had many options for them to take and Johnny was shocked to learn that there were two versions of these androids running around in the Pantheon due to how different their personalities would become based on their choices. Johnny is fully supportive of robots and other similar mechanical lifeforms be treated as an equal to humans and while he is empathic towards the Detroit androids taking a heroic path, seeing them go on a darker route in the name of mechanical supremacy unnerved him as Johnny preferred to have humans and machines live together in harmony. |
| 289 | * It wasn’t just robots that expressed a desire to be human as Johnny would discover. Having been aware of Pinocchio after reading his story, Johnny would meet the puppet-turned-boy himself and develop a friendship with him, even if Pinocchio becoming human was more of a literal thing instead of Johnny simply being acknowledged as such. There were plenty of other non-human entities that wanted to fully become human for better or for worse and some of the methods that were attempted to accomplish such a goal ranged from highly unusual to outright creepy. As much as Johnny cared about wanting to be seen as human and that enduring bad experiences was part of it, he feels that entities trying to force their way to becoming human (or even be acknowledged as such) at the expense of innocents is very troubling. |
| 290 | * If there was something about the Pantheon that horrified Johnny, it was the fact that actual human beings could be dehumanized in literal and metaphorical ways into becoming something they aren’t. It was one thing if people needed mechanical parts for themselves to keep living after a deadly accident, but in cases of people like the 00 Cyborgs being mechanized into weapons of war, that was something Johnny found unforgivable. Despite still looking human and having escaped and destroyed the group that made them who they were, the 00 Cyborgs still had some angst about if they were truly human. To Johnny, he views the 00 Cyborgs as sentient beings no matter what they went through and appreciated how they became something of a surrogate family, with the group accepting his similar background of being something built for war who went against his directives and opted to live a peaceful life. |
| 291 | * Johnny believes in nonviolence and even with the dangers he and his friends faced, he made sure that his actions to fend off his enemies didn’t endanger their lives. Despite the greater threats present in the Pantheon, some denizens still believed in pacifism and even if they don’t want to start fights, plenty such as Optimus Prime are determined to end those battles if pulled into one for the sake of those they are protecting and it was such a mindset that Johnny understood even if he doesn’t want to fight by default. Having a pacifist mindset was seen by some in the Pantheon as a detriment and Johnny Five was disheartened to learn just how many craved senseless violence and wanted to cause carnage for their own sick amusement. No matter the issues with being a pacifist, Johnny remains committed to dealing with his problems non-lethally, especially with the support of like-minded entities. |
| 292 | * Thieves were a bit of an issue for Johnny given his experiences with Oscar Baldwin and his associates and even if some thieves in the Pantheon had genuinely noble intentions, the robot would prefer to keep his distance from them. If there is something Johnny hates more than thieves, it’s being used as a pawn for an evil plan. There was no shortage of smart manipulators throughout the Pantheon who are willing to take advantage of someone’s traits for their own benefit and they wouldn’t mind disposing of their pawns if said pawn discovers something wrong as was the case with Johnny’s near-death beating. If there’s any input that Johnny is looking for after that incident, it’s trying to tell if that seemingly friendly figure has an ulterior motive, but such input would be difficult to find and retain in the face of entities who are good at masking their intentions and covering their tracks. |

| 318 | * Making inventions is cool. Making them in your home, rather than at an official laboratory, is for some reason cooler. Of course, they won't be perfect, but what would you expect from something just cobbled together? Still, they manage to work. Most of the time. |
| 319 | ** That, and because Wallace was willing to surrender one of his titles (at which Gromit wasn't…disapproving of), is why and how Lewis, [[spoiler:or rather, Cornelius Robinson]], has been ascended to the Pantheon. |
| 320 | * Lewis's situation is a bit awkward for him. He ascended in his kid form, but he has the memories of his future self. |
| 321 | * As it turns out, his motto "Keep Moving Forward" [[spoiler:''came'' from Walt Disney, The man himself personally visited and thanked him for this tribute]]. |
| 322 | * Due to him doing ''several hundreds'' of attempts and prototypes to create a time machine (and succeeding twice), not to mention the potential paradoxes he could've committed as a result of [[spoiler:his son]] taking him to the future, the Dahaka has his eyes on Lewis. But as long as doesn't time travel, he'll be more focused on the greater threats instead. At least his time machines can also serve as "mere" aircraft. |
| 323 | ** Lewis found better company in the Pantheonic Time Police and other good-aligned time-travelers in that House, and some have noted his weaponization of [[spoiler:the RetCon in order to [[RetGone undo]] Doris]]. |
| 324 | ** Speaking of multiple prototypes, Syndrome likes to mock him for that given that ''he'' managed to improve on his greatest invention with only ''nine'' prototypes. Then again, a time machine is different from a learning hero-killing robot, but one would think [[spoiler:Cornelius could've ended up with merely something close to one hundred before finishing his first]]. |
| 325 | ** Given the current overall situation in the Pantheon, while he doesn't really like conflict, he's decided to sign up in the Pantheon/GUAGEngineeringDivision, where his inventions have proven to be a good boon. |
| 326 | * Making inventions with home implements is one thing, but he was amazed how Tony Stark built his first suit with a very limited amount of resources '''and''' while being watched by goons holding him ransom. |
| 327 | ** Even more baffling was the one time [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Homer Simpson]] made a time machine ''out of his toaster'' '''''without even knowing how he did it'''''! |
| 328 | * Despite all of his inventions, he never makes hats with AI. In fact, he's careful around using [=AIs=] when making them shaped like articles of clothing. [[spoiler:After the disaster that is DOR-15/Doris, [[MyGreatestFailure he's sworn never to repeat that mistake]]]]. As such, he also opposes SKYNET since [[spoiler:its plan is worse than Doris' (replace subjugation with ''extermination'')]]. There's also Harbinger for [[spoiler:his kind committing galactical genocide '''on a timely basis''']]. |
| 329 | ** Speaking of [[spoiler:Doris]], there are those who think [[spoiler:[[BrokenAesop denying her]] existence]] is an irresponsible way to fix his mistake. |
| 330 | * For reasons unknown, there are those in the House of Love who keep nudging him to [[CrossoverShip go out with]] [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Violet Parr]] [[spoiler:despite his canonical marriage to Franny Framagucci and the existence of his son Wilbur]]. |
| 331 | * Having been one himself, he has a soft spot for all orphans, especially those who lived in underfunded dead-end orphanages. |
| 332 | ** He in particular was horrified with what Goro Akechi, a similar orphan (worse, a ''bastard'' child), went through. He had been transfered between numerous orphanages and foster homes, and life for him then was ''terrible'', and made him into the person he is today. |
| 333 | * He's a big fan of Adam West's superhero performances, since they remind him of Art Robinson always rushing around in a superhero costume. He's curious as to whether or not Art was inspired by Adam West's adventures. |

| 351 | * Senku Ishigami is a high school student with an intellect capable of rivaling the greatest minds in the modern-day world with a dream of visiting outer space in a rocket. When civilization was petrified, he was able to remain conscious for the next 3,700 years by counting every second that passed. Upon eventually breaking free through his own determination, Senku is able to free his friends with the Stone Formula he created, vowing to recreate civilization by founding a Kingdom of Science. He is currently helping his friends and as well as the people of a nearby village through re-discovering lost inventions and technology. |
| 352 | * One day, Senku received a letter of invitation to the Trope Pantheons due to the gods showing interest in how he managed to show the benevolent side of science and how it can help people. Senku agreed to shares his ideas with the Pantheon, hoping to help make the Pantheon a better place through science as well. |
| 353 | * Senku has gotten along with other benevolent scientists and gods who love science, meeting them every now and then to discuss their findings. Of course, Senku has also met scientists who were abusing science for their own ends, so Senku vowed to stop them before they can cause anymore harm. |
| 354 | ** Senku gets along the most with Professor Utonium and Lewis, all of them being great leaders towards their allies (in Lewis' case, his future self. Senku). Senku also gets along with Abby, Sandy, Qubit, and Amadues Cho from the House of Scientists & Geniuses. Senku also meets Dexter and Jimmy, though due to their youth and tendency to make mistakes, Senku hopes to help them overcome their [[FatalFlaw Fatal Flaws]] and grow as scientists and inventors. |
| 355 | *** Princess Bubblegum is a bit of a complicated case, since she has committed some shady deeds in the past, regardless of the reasons. Since she has changed however, and Bubblegum is doing her best to protect her people, Senku does respect her knowledge in science and leadership. |
| 356 | ** Senku likes to meet with Harry Potter-Evans-Verres to discuss how they can use magic to benefit science and society, although Senku disapproves of his desire to bring immortality to mankind, pointing out that not everyone wants to live forever as well as the [[FridgeHorror numerous negative consequences that might follow if every human were immortal]][[note]]Namely overpopulation, which would force humans to stop reproduction[[/note]]. He even points out that while death is depressing, that's exactly why we have to live life to the fullest. Rationality! Harry argues how a lot of people tend to see death the same as oblivion since not everyone believes in an afterlife, justifying a fear of death for both themselves and their loved ones, and wants to make immortality appreciable for those who don't want it. |
| 357 | *** The debate is very long, since gods in the Pantheon either take one side or believe BothSidesHaveAPoint. The more experienced Senku does show Rationalist! Harry [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7huIVy7YY4 videos of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saUmdoFUNEg what immortality would be]], quelling the latter's ambition somewhat but not eliminating it. Instead he hopes (for the time being) to make death a choice now for everyone instead. |
| 358 | ** Senku views Plankton as a disappointment, since he is a genius in science like him, [[DitzyGenius yet lacks common sense in many matters]] and [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood wastes time, energy, and resources trying to get the Krabby Patty formula when he could simply]] [[CutLexLuthorACheck make a living selling his technology.]] Of course, knowing Plankton, he would [[GladIThoughtOfIt probably take credit for that suggestion]] and [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished eventually grow power hungry]], so Senku doesn't say anything. |
| 359 | ** Senku downright despises immoral scientists and geniuses, believing they give science a bad name. Professor Hojo, Relius Clover[[note]]Both of whom [[LackOfEmpathy treat people as test subjects]] and even experimented on their own family.[[/note]], Shou Tucker[[note]]Turned his wife, daughter, and dog into [[AndIMustScream tortured]] [[BodyHorror chimeras]] for the [[EvilIsPetty most petty of reasons]].[[/note]], and Dr. Gero[[note]]Who kidnapped teenagers and turned them into cyborgs, created Cell, and indirectly ruined Future Trunk's world for the express purpose of killing one man for destroying the [[ArmiesAreEvil Red Ribbon Army]] and [[RevengeMyopia putting him out of his career]].[[/note]] are some of the worst examples. Senku also despises Orochimaru[[note]]Whose immortality experiments and [[GrandTheftMe methods]], as well as the [[{{Necromancer}} Edo Tensei]], downright disgust him.[[/note]] for the innocent lives they claimed in the name of science, to the point he hates working with them despite being on the same side. Kokonoe is the only one he's willing to tolerate, though he still frowns upon her attitude in general. |
| 360 | *** Mobius is the only member of the Think Tank Senku is willing to accept, since he's the only one willing to use science for benevolent and constructive reasons. Senku especially hates the Big MT, which is basically a "scientific graveyard of Old World misery", due to it being a textbook definition science being misused. |
| 361 | *** Senku dislikes Lord Recluse, who despite being a scientist in his own right, uses his SuperIntelligence to turn a mafia organization into supervillain conglomerate and plans several attacks out of spite towards his ArchEnemy. |
| 362 | * Senku shows kindness to beings created or augmented by science. Sophie, SCP-040, and Vivio he's shown treating with kindness, while beings like Mewtwo and the Indominus Rex he treats with pity due to what they had to go through when they were created. Of course, in the latter's case, he still knows that the creature has to be stopped and [[ShootTheDog put down due to the danger it poses]]. |
| 363 | * Senku once crossed paths with Aloy, who like him had to learn to survive in a world where modern age was turned into a primitive one, though in her case she had to fight machines acting as the wildlife. Senku forms a kinship with her over this, and promises to help her whenever she needs it, being a good inventor. |
| 364 | ** Senku would also befriend Link and Zelda, since [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild two particular incarnations]], especially Link, had to live in a society 100 years after they failed to stop Ganon from destroying their home. Senku is quite interested in the Shekiah Slate, and hopes to have his own to further his advancements in technology and science. |
| 365 | * Senku is also quite the otaku, and he's quite excited to meet deities from the video game and anime franchises he's enjoyed, including the Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Doraemon deities. |
| 366 | ** Senku finds the memes of his world and the world of Minecraft rather humourous, considering they both revolve around building things from scratch by collecting any materials they can find. Senku actually gets along with Steve for this very reason. |
| 367 | * Besides being a genius in multiple fields, Senku is also [[WiseBeyondTheirYears wise for someone his age and a great leader]], which is how he managed to found the Kingdom of Science. He may act like an InsufferableGenius at times, but he also wants to genuinely help people with science and help them grow. He even acknowledges other people's strengths and talents, which is why he trusted many of his allies to do what he could not. |
