| 45 | * The Dragon Balls were mystical artifacts in Universe 7; created by the Namekian Kami who become the God of Planet Earth, the Dragon Balls were to grant the wishes of humans by the hand of Kami's life-linked dragon, Shenron, to make a better world but were scattered after each use as means of preventing their abuse. But because of the many perils the Saiyan warrior Goku and his friends faced the Dragon Balls began to be used more and more to fix the damage their enemies caused and as it would turn out negative energy resulting from each wish overloaded the Dragon Balls leading to them getting cracked and corrupted. During the final chapters of the story of Goku and after the threat of Super Android 17 and Doctors Myuu's and Gero's attempt to conquer the Universe with a legion of defeated villains freed from Hell was dealt with, the warriors of Earth gathered the Dragon Balls one last time to wish all the lost lives of this tragedy back, but instead of the benevolent Shenron, a malevolent corrupt version known as Black Smoke Shenron emerged, after mocking the humans' concerns and announcing his intent to bring the end of everything, he split himself into seven dragons of incredible power and evil; Syn, Haze, Eis, Nuova, Rage, Oceanus and Naturon. These Shadow Dragons represented each one of the Dragon Balls and were born each from a wish made on the Dragon Balls throughout Goku's story, and the more selfless and benevolent the wish the more malevolent its Dragon was, they wreaked havoc across Earth, forcing Goku (and his granddaughter Pan who tagged along) to defeat each and every last one of them. While he managed to defeat most of them, Goku would meet his match in Syn Shenron, the one-star Dragon and strongest of the bunch; with his superior strength, power, abilities and intellect Syn easily beat Goku even with [=SS4=] his then strongest transformation and absorbed the once-purified Dragon Balls to empower himself into his ultimate form, Omega Shenron, planning to use his power to spread the negative energy across the entire Universe and destroy everything without any hope of recovery. But Goku and his friends didn't give up and after being given power from every mortal in the Universe, Goku created the Universal Genkidama and used it to destroy Omega Shenron and the Shadow Dragons for good; though the corruption hadn't gone away entirely, forcing Goku and Shenron to leave Earth for 100 years. |
| 46 | * One day the Dragon Balls were gathered in the Pantheon by the Z-Warriors in order to grant a rather insignificant wish of Bulma's so she would be 5 years younger; but to their late realization of horror the Dragon Balls were cracked this time around and when Shenron was to be summoned the Shadow Dragons were unleashed instead and proceeded to go on a rampage. After they were contained by Goku and Vegeta with help from [[TokenGoodTeammate Nuova]], the Dragons were separated from their Dragon Balls and then relocated to a temple within the Hall of Pantheon/HeroicActions where they now reside waiting for the chance to strike back at the world and every single Universe there is, to fully realize their goals from the mortal worlds once again now aiming to use their newly-gained knowledge of every universe within the Pantheon to expand their negative energy usage and once and for all end all of existence. Various DB villains have been interested in the Dragons' power as well as wary of their threat to the universe at large. |
| 47 | * Because of their origins they loathe all who have used wishes to make their lives easier or used them for their own benefit, regardless of whether they were selfish or selfless in intent. As for Shenron, they don't comment on their views of the Eternal Dragon but do find his repeated assistance to the mortals' whims to be shameful. |
| 48 | ** Timmy Turner was one of these loathed wishmakers as he has used the powers of his Fairy Oddparents, Cosmo and Wanda, for either his own benefit or that of others (though it's mostly for his own), and has at times nearly caused the universe itself to be destroyed as a direct or even indirect result of his actions and shortsightedness; this caused the Dragons to gain an enmity with Timmy and his fairies looking to personally punish Timmy for his selfish wishing as well as Cosmo and Wanda for their compliance to his selfish whims; Norm the Genie was a much meaner wish-granter who also hates being used to begin with so he empathized with the Dragons' feelings towards those who use wishes repeatedly for their own benefit. Other fairies in the Pantheon such as Jorgen Von Strangle and even the Pixies are also deep into their list of hated deities since they too have abused wishes or been complicit in some. |
| 49 | ** The Genie that helped Aladdin in his quest to marry Princess Jasmine came to severely hate the Shadow Dragons, as he viewed their actions of punishing the usage of Dragon Balls to be unjustified due to how most of the wishes made on the Dragon Balls were truly desperate acts or selfless wishes to bring back innocent lives as he himself had to deal with genuine abuse of wishing power for selfish wishes; the Dragons in turn don't care about the reason they dislike repeated usage of wish-granting artifacts for any reason and have marked Aladdin as yet another mortal they will punish over using wishes for his own gain. Jafar got caught up in this reputation as well, moreso since he truly wished for selfish gain with the Genie, Jafar has been made aware that even his full might not be enough to deal with the Shadow Dragons and so avoids them at all costs. |
| 50 | ** Jeanie the Genie is a wish-granter who nonetheless tries to keep her masters from wishing too many selfish wishes or not consider the repercussions that any one wish they make could have. While she understands why the Shadow Dragons would grow weary of mortals relying on the Dragon Balls to undo the consequences of their apathy and selfishness in dealing with threats, she is also very much against punishing those that have had no involvement in the wasteful and selfish wishing of the select mortals who the Shadow Dragons' existence is owed to; also helped by her marriage to her former master, Tony. While the Shadow Dragons don't really care about her opinions, viewing her as complicit as any other entity that isn't on board with their goals. |
| 51 | ** Kirby is no stranger to wishes being used for either selfish gain or selfless intent, as he had to deal with more than one wish-granting artifact in the Galactic Nova and then Star Dream, albeit the latter being far more sinister. While the Shadow Dragons don't have much words for Kirby himself, they nonetheless dislike his compliance in helping Marx get his wish from the Galactic Nova and his own attempts to make the wish to stop the Sun and Moon from fighting; they also seek to punish Dreamland in due time, starting with the aforementioned Marx but have backed off a bit after a few of them were beaten black and blue by Kirby during an attempted ambush. |
| 52 | * The Shadow Dragons were born from the negative energy of the Dragon Balls that was generated by each wish; the dragon's power and evil all correspond to each wish's respective goodness and scope and their ultimate goal is to wipe out all of the Universe and destroy anyone that gets in their way. Because of this they made allies with purely evil deities who also have said desire. One of these deities was Vanitas, born of the evil of Roxas' inner self, who plans to erradicate all of existence, Vanitas greatly appreciates the help the Shadow Dragons can provide to his goals and especially how they could help him deal with the Keyblade wielders. That the Shadow Dragons attract the presence of the Heartless by mere virtue of existing is also a selling point. The rest of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' deities all instead greatly oppose the Shadow Dragons as their power rivals even the strongest wielders and with a possible alliance with the Heartless they might bring about the end times for real by uniting their powers with their fellow creatures of negative energy. |
| 53 | * Other evil dragons or entities with grand ambitions weren't welcome to them, since their goals either aligned but they didn't plan on sharing the spoils of the glory with other parties or the Shadow Dragons' omnicidal aim directly threatened them. First off were Alduin and Grima, who wield great influence over a planet already and don't find it amusing that the Shadow Dragons could deprive them of their dominions, while others such as King Ghidorah aren't thrilled to have an equal around that could destroy the Universe instead of him and his followers; the master of darkness, Aku, also wants the Dragons gone since they'll destroy the world he seeks to make miserable and while he doesn't finds them a true threat to his existence since they're not Gods, he still wants nothing to do with them; and finally Dharkon seeks to take all the light from every Universe there is and plunge it into an eternal darkness devoid of life and is not letting the Shadow Dragons interfere in his goals by any means. |
| 54 | * Yapool also became allies with the Dragons due to his own usage of negative energies and offering the group a sincere chance to empower them with his own energies so they could reach new heights of power. They also have commonality in the fact that they cannot truly die, as the Shadow Dragons are born of negative energy from the Dragon Balls and can come back from any other Dragon Ball set, including Namekian and Dark Dragon Balls (the latter originating from a parallel demonic dimension) and perhaps even the Super and [[Manga/DragonBallSuper Cerealian Dragon Balls]]; Yapool in particular has been interested in their "Xeno" forms where the Dark Dragon Balls grant them even higher power than before. Similarly, that Yapool's Negative Energy is not too different from theirs and that they could combine their energies to destroy the Universe much faster has also given them more reason to team up. The Ultras have been on high alert about the Dragons ever since. |
| 55 | * Zorc Necrophades is another entity MadeOfEvil who was born of the negative thoughts and emotions of humanity, Zorc views the Shadow Dragons as useful allies and their hatred of mortals are greatly admirable, in turn the Shadow Dragons have reciprocated his attempts at forming an alliance. Similarly, Chaos, nemesis of the Sailor Senshi, has also allied with the Shadow Dragons given the way their goals benefit each other and how they could be useful in getting rid of the Sailors with their numerous abilities and their capacity to spread Negative Energy if left unchecked to rot away the whole Universe. This alliances have made their particular foes all much more wary of the Shadow Dragons' involvement. Other similar enemies were the Incubators and the heroic Puella Magi deities, who have found the rare time where their goals align to stop the Dragons' threat, as their ultimate goal would doom the entire Universe to eternal death and neither the Incubators who desire to sustain themselves nor the girls wish for that outcome to pass. |
| 56 | * The Phantom Thieves had to combat Shadows, reflections of the darkest desires of humanity, along their adventures and are very wary of the Shadow Dragons as a result, given that they're born of the negative energy accumulated over years of wishes on the Dragon Balls as the counterbalance to the benevolence each wish meant to bring about. Also concerning them is that the Dragons' ultimate goal is destroying the Universe as a whole with negative energy and their self-righteous treatment of any mortals they deem selfish enough. Other deities from their world either fear or welcome the Dragons depending on their views, though most are on the former camp. |
| 57 | * Because of the indirect fault of the Gods of their Universe in causing the Z Warriors and others to use the Dragon Balls they have loathing for all of them, especially Beerus as it is his apathy and laziness that has led to Universe 7's low mortal level and the repercussions of the various evils he's let run free motivated the heroes to abuse the Dragon Balls to save themselves from peril; since Whis isn't much help in this aspect and given his own penchant for altering the natural order and saving the warriors from peril sometimes they extend the hatred to him as well. Finally they do fear Zen-Oh as every other deity of the ''Dragon Ball'' multiverse does, but in turn they also detest that he's let the even more powerful Super Dragon Balls (and the source of origin of the Namekian Dragon Balls to boot) be used to let the mortals have their way without consequence of their actions, though Zen-Oh only has allowed this once as part of a test towards the inner good of mortals, they aren't letting him off the hook for it anyway. Interestingly enough as a result of this they have gained a begrudging respect for Zamasu and Goku Black, both gods that feel it's necessary to punish mortals for their use of the Dragon Balls and even seek to destroy all of existence by consequence, with the former two not otherwise considering them allies as they view the Shadow Dragons' mere existence as extensions of the sins of mortals. |
| 58 | * Exclusive to Syn: |
| 59 | ** Syn serves as the leading member of the group, though they don't quite work as a team unless it's out of necessity and some are willing to go against him for their own principles. This got him commonality with Lucemon, another demonic draconic being who also has elements of a benevolent deity to him. Lucemon seeks absolute order and views the current lifeforms and deities of the multiverse as unfit to exist, a sentiment Syn has backed up with his hatred of mortals for abusing the Dragon Balls and the Gods for being compliant to said usage. While Lucemon hasn't been too keen on using the Dragon Balls for his goals, he does have that as a possibility for the future, which has caused some tensions between him and the Dragons' otherwise neutral indifference towards each other. |
| 60 | ** Syn has judged humanity and mortals in general for relying on the Dragon Balls to fix their mistakes or pull themselves out of peril, as such he gained some support from deities who viewed humans in a deplorable light or wished to exterminate them (or all mortals for that matter), such as the ''Kid Icarus'' version of Hades, who while willing to oppose the Dragons if they truly begin to cause the end of the Universe; also sees value in using their negative energy and powers for his own schemes. Syn himself doesn't have much of an opinion on Hades besides approving of his hatred of mortals. |
| 61 | ** Syn also has stronger forms he can access by absorbing the other Dragons' own Dragon Balls known as Omega Shenron and then go further by utilizing the demonic power of Demigra to turn into Ascended Omega Shenron; this has caused other demons with great power to be wary of the evolved dragon-demon's power. Most notably the demonic dragon, Grima, Grima, who in addition to already being wary of the other Shadow Dragons' potential to ruin his plans is genuinely unnerved by the possibility of Omega Shenron targeting him as part of his planned slaughter of the Universe. Similarly to Grima, Galakrond. |
| 62 | ** Syn was born of Mr. Popo's wish to bring back the victims of Frieza and his men's terror, making Frieza responsible for his existence and Syn's "parent" as Frieza has jokingly claimed; while they both might detest the Saiyans and have other shared quirks they don't have much good blood between them as Syn detests Frieza for his own desire to abuse the Dragon Balls while Frieza thinks of Syn as a barbaric thing to be rid of in his conquest of the Universe, with both parties also aware the other is much stronger than they seem. |
| 63 | * Exclusive to Haze: |
| 64 | ** Haze enjoys polluting the environment with his toxic aura, which he can release by mere virtue of existing around a place, it also has the added benefit of weakening even the mightiest of warriors after enough exposure; this got him a close camaradie with fellow pollution evil spirit, Hexxus, who enjoys how much he benefits from Haze's existence and is more than ready to add his own corroding touch to Haze's toxic aura which he believes will be key at averting any attempt at fixing any life he completely wrecks. The Kaiju Hedorah is also a walking natural disaster with polluting abilities, and it has taken to following Haze so it can feed off his toxic aura and empower itself with its corrupt Ki; Haze doesn't minds its presence much, even if he won't spare him from the general destruction of the universe he and his fellow Dragons plot. While his pollution might be of help to the likes of Mr. Burns and Derek Blight, neither wants him around since they know he would betray them in the event of an alliance at any given point and are fully aware of what intends to do at large to the Universe. Which would leave them unable to either profit or achieve revenge. |
| 65 | ** With his pollution powers he became an instant sworn foe of the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}}, primarily Captain Planet, who has come to fear the Shadow Dragon's capacities, as while Haze is too physically weak to pose a threat to any decently strong opponent and has no real skills of any kind at fighting, his powers do all the fighting he needs as even heroes on Planet's level will succumb to the toxins with due time; the Planeteers all are also wary of Haze for this reason. Other Nature Guardians such as Gaea and Aang are also extremely wary of Haze as he's proven tough enough to resist near every assault they can utilize against him and with enough time he could kill even them if they stand for too long in his presence; Korra, the avatar that succeeded Aaang, also fears Haze's pollution due to her own experiences with being poisoned and nearly killed. |
| 66 | ** His toxic aura ability has one weakness: it is useless against any robotic opponents, this weakness led to his defeat in fact; as such he's wary of strong robots that could give him a run for his money, or even opponents who have no issue taking pollution-based attacks and moving on from them. For this he is wary of any robotic fighters or those that don't employ Ki, primarily the Androids of his world and the stronger robots in the House of Pantheon/RobotsAndAutomata especially Primus who might not take kindly to his goals, let alone his actions. |
| 67 | * Exclusive to Eis: |
| 68 | ** Eis was born to the wish to erase the memories of all humans that were victims of Majin Buu so the latter could live peacefully on Earth after his redemption, the selflessness of this wish made him one of the cruelest, most despicable of all Dragons. With his cowardly, dishonorable and underhanded nature he got some rivals and commonalities in those who fight with cheap tricks or cowardly tactics to win such as Aran Ryan who shares Eis' violent tendencies, desire to win a fight at all costs regardless of the context and use of every underhanded tactic one can think of (and then some), |
| 69 | ** Eis controls ice and uses it to freeze entire landscapes for the sake of rendering them inhospitable to all lifeforms. Good-aligned ice users opposed him, primarily Elsa who almost rendered her own world inhospitable with her out-control powers before she was able to control them. Another such ice user was the Groke who while equally destructive when not controlling her powers, doesn't truly wants to harm anyone unlike Eis and views the other traits of the Shadow Dragon such as his cowardice and cruelty to be absolutely repulsive to Eis' amusement. Finally, Sub-Zero, Jack Frost and Mei-Ling Zhou all oppose Eis as well for his cruelty and use of his powers to spread ruin. |
| 70 | ** Eis is despised by good siblings in the Pantheon who don't take kindly to the way he used his brother's kindness for his own benefit and even used him as a meat shield from Goku so he could gain the upper hand. Primarily among those who hated him for his acts were Dipper and Mabel, both twins like Eis and Nuova but who find Eis' treatment of Nuova deplorable. Mario and Luigi are also brothers who fight with contrasting elements and were similarly disgusted by Eis' sliminess and cruelty. |
| 71 | ** While some accounts report that Eis was born of the wish to erase the memories of the victims of Majin Buu, others claim he instead was born of the wish to revive King Piccolo's victims; as such both King Piccolo and Fat Buu are not on good terms with Eis who judges them as guilty of bringing him into existence, and they in turn don't want anything to do with Eis; Buu primarily due to him being a grim reminder of his past sins while King Piccolo isn't on board with Eis stealing his kills of the human race. Some believe he might somehow have been born of both wishes, which could explain why he's one of the vilest of the Dragons even next to Syn. |
| 72 | * Exclusive to Nuova: |
| 73 | ** Nuova was born to King Piccolo's wish to give himself eternal youth, this in turn led to him being the only good Shadow Dragon, as he had the opposite of the negative energy principle, so while he will help out his fellow Dragons for the most part, it's not hard to convince him to stop and help thwart the others' goals. As a result he made friendships and commonalities with deities born of evil energy or even those MadeOfEvil who ultimately aren't really evil themselves. One of these was Ashi, daughter of the evil incarnate Aku who defied her own destiny and nature to help out Samurai Jack in defeating her father at the cost of her existence (until she was brought back eventually via time travel) and has remained an agent of good ever since. |
| 74 | ** His powers are heat-based and at some points could even cause an entire planet to suffer a massive drought. This got him some degree of camadarie with Groudon, as the Legendary Pokémon not only controls the ground element but also carries with him a heatwave-inducing ability in Drought which can even go as far as turning the sun harsh enough to completely vaporize all kinds of water. While Groudon isn't too happy with Nuova's existence given his more destructive abilities and origins he does consider leaving him somewhat alone due to his more noble nature. Kyogre and Rayquaza have also offered to help Nuova with his heat as Kyogre in his Primal Form can summon an Endless Rain that blocks out even the highest of heat and sunshine, while Rayquaza's powers let him cancel out weather and in his Mega form it can even outright remove all other weathers permanently until it is defeated. |
| 75 | ** Nuova has a pretty frosty relationship with his brother, Nuova intended for Goku to spare Eis' life and let the two live free while giving up their Dragon Balls to be purified (as they could live without them), but sadly Eis didn't get the memo and got himself killed. Eis also dislikes that Nuova has gone against the other Shadow Dragons. This got Nuova allies in [[Pantheon/AlignmentChanges Dalek Sec and Caan]], who while not quite reformed from their old ways have nonetheless become able to embrace ideals their own kind finds repulsive and has turned them into pariahs as a result. |
| 76 | ** Nuova is also a fair fighter and was thrilled to learn of potential adversaries that could match him or even bring him to his knees, he's sought out fire elemental fighters of all kinds to combat for starters and while most weren't a match for him, he did find himself finding a close to equal were in Surtr, Hestia, Ragnaros and Alexstraza who all command great power over the flames and were able to give him the fair fight he wanted. Ever since they all have prepared for a rematch with Nuova being eager to see them again once things are sorted for their fights. Eis has offered to fuse with him for a power boost, but Nuova has predictably rejected it wanting to win the battles on his own terms. |
| 77 | * Exclusive to Rage: |
| 78 | ** Rage was born to the wish that revived Goku so he could fight against the threat of Vegeta and Nappa when they first arrived on Earth. As a result of this he views himself as Goku's "brother", though the latter would rather not think of Rage like that. Raditz was baffled by this, as was Bardock who are essentially Rage's brother and father; neither party is willing to look into Rage's story besides that as Bardock hates Rage for almost killing his son while Raditz feels jealously that Rage came closer than even him to killing Goku at one of his strongest states. On the flipside, Rage has taken some interest in Bardock, as he made a wish on the Cerealian Dragon Balls and considers him just as guilty as the humans and Namekians that used the Dragon Balls of their own worlds for their own ends. Another Saiyan he has a tense feeling with is Broly as in an alternate universe the Legendary Super Saiyan in his Super Saiyan 4 form easily killed him after getting past his slime body which terrified Rage well enough when he respawned. |
| 79 | ** Rage's electric powers allow him to use his slime to pin down and fry opponents with Dragon-born lightning, which can make him a threat to those weak to lightning; as such the Hall of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture is extremely wary of an attack by Rage, though they also know that he can be weakened by rain they are still wary just in case. His electric powers got him fierce opponents in Ash's Pikachu, Rei's Eleking and Lagiacrus; all three being creatures with electric powers who can also feed on electricity themselves to power up their attacks and see him as a threat to themselves and their close allies/friends which Rage has thought of targeting for the sake of an easy target to kill or torment. |
| 80 | ** Sentient machines in the Pantheon have much to worry from Rage, as his slime can drain their energy and empower him further than he currently is and he can in turn spread his slime everywhere to ensure he can drain machines in a large radius. Primary targets for this were Primus and Unicorn as they wield power that could be of use to Rage; as well as others like the Venjix Virus and Brainiac who would be rivals to his and the Shadow Dragon's goals. |
| 81 | * Exclusive to Oceanus: |
| 82 | ** She is the sole female dragon of the bunch, and since her true appearance is not feminine in any way and is incredibly ugly she would rather keep up her "Princess Oto" disguise and prefer to be referred as such by both allies and enemies alike; a deity who know of similar struggles is Priscilla Pursly/Lady X, who is a horrifically ugly hunched bald woman who keeps herself disguised as an attractive young-looking FemmeFatale and would rather not be exposed in her true form; while even Lady X is mortified of what Oceanus seeks in the long run, she couldn't help but empathize with the Shadow Dragon's image issues given her own self-loathing of her real appearance and the extremes she took to ensure none could discover her secret, Oceanus herself doesn't cares much about Lady X's own problems but appreciates someone else finding the same issues she has to a degree. |
| 83 | ** In her "Princess Oto" guise she manipulated a seabound town into worshipping and praising her while secretly aiming to drive the town to misery by killing all sealife around the place and giving them excess fish that would rot away in time too, a few deities who've been deceived this way by fake guises or dealt with such villains didn't take kindly to this aspect, such as Sam and Max who while not outright deceived into a lunatic's cult, did become wary of such fake religions and idols that might carry disaster for its unwitting followers, it also didn't help Oceanus wasn't even cute or hot in her real form to Sam's disappointment when he learned of her real form. |
| 84 | ** Since she was born of Oolong's wish for women panties ([[ItMakesSenseInContext meant to stop Pilaf from becoming Earth's Emperor]]), she feels nothing but shame about her origins and on top of that has a special hatred of perverts or extremely lustful men or women of any kind which is only worsened by her attractive appearance in her disguised form. She mostly has had to put up with people like [[Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire Glenn Quagmire]], [[Pantheon/RomanticInterest Brock]], [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Issei Hyodo]],[[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} Pepe le Pew]] and even [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Master Roshi]] who all were instantly attracted to her, to her luck (sort of) she's kept wannabe suitors and that kind of people away unintentionally with the reveal of her true form spread around by Goku who witnessed it first-hand; which she finds a blessing (since it keeps perverts away from her) and a curse (since it ensures people won't forget or be able to discover she isn't pretty in reality). |
| 85 | ** Since a seagull played a key role in her defeat, she loathes seabirds of all kinds, the primary targets for this were the [[Pantheon/{{Birds}} Bird Flock]] who have plenty of seagulls among their ranks and are already aggressive enough as a it is but also can tell she's an even bigger threat than the humans and have attacked her from time to time; not that their attacks do anything to her but she still finds it annoying to deal with and has provoked her into spreading her hatred to all birds in general in the Pantheon. |
| 86 | * Exclusive to Naturon: |
| 87 | ** Naturon initially seemed affable or dumb enough to mostly spend his time digging around the Pantheon, claiming he's just trying to find his way through the place... However, one day he stopped his digging activities before maliciously using his powers to create shockwaves through the Pantheon's Houses to spread ruin and chaos. He was ultimately driven back by Groudon who detested seeing Naturon wreak havoc with its similar powers, though it had to be wary as it got nearly absorbed by Naturon when the latter reverted to its Dragon Ball form in an attempt to deceive him. Ever since Groudon has been on the lookout for Naturon and a possible return to his activities. Other mole Pokemon such as Drillburr and Excadrill are extra wary of being absorbed by Naturon given he had absorbed a normal Earth mole in his first appearance. |
| 88 | ** Naturon can absorb any lifeform to empower himself into a massively exponentially more powerful form, starting out as a weak mole-like critter that turns gradually more draconic the stronger his absorbed victim is, for this he got a bit of a rivalry and odd looks from the Grey Goo, a sentient pile of goo that starts out weak and easy to kill but can grow into a universal threat if it eats enough matter over time. Not many know who'd end up assimilating and overriding the other's will first, but none are entertaining that becoming a possibility because of any outcome being terrifying to think about. Similarly, Orga, the Thing and the Blob also consume others to empower themselves, with the former two even replicating their victims' traits but most fear that Naturon has much to gain from assimilating them while they can't really do so to him in return as Naturon isn't truly organic since he's a Dragon born from Negative Energy and he could find ways to exploit their abilities to grow stronger. |
| 89 | ** He also thinks of using another Saiyan in the Pantheon as a power source to defeat Goku and the Z-Warriors, mostly aiming to use the U6 Saiyan or even either version of Broly to become far stronger than he was with Pan's relatively weaker power. Their allies have made sure to ward off Naturon from any possible attack and assimilation on them. Vegeta feels personally responsible for Naturon's entire existence since he was born from the wish to revive the victims he killed as Majin Vegeta and has been keen on bringing the Shadow Dragon down when he can to atone for his past and protect the other Saiyans from his schemes. |
| 90 | ** Naturon owes his existence indirectly to Babidi, as it was the wizard's evil actions that led to Majin Vegeta's existence and subsequently all the loss of life he created; unlike most other ''Dragon Ball'' villains, Babidi has seen use to not just Naturon but all the Shadow Dragons as in another universe he managed to gain control of Omega Shenron and turned him into his newest Majin; this has made Naturon and the others be wary of Babidi and develop a special hatred for the slimy wizard given that he would defile even their divine nature for his own use like he did to Dabura. |

| 123 | * Gandalf the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, (birth name Olórin) was an Istar sent to combat the threat of Sauron. [[Literature/TheHobbit He joined Thorin Oakenshield and his company to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings gathered the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the One Ring, and led the Free Peoples in the final battle of the War of the Ring]]. A living legend of Middle Earth, Gandalf joined the Pantheon for his iconic speech against the Balrog (not that [[Pantheon/FightingMindsets Balrog]]) as Gandalf the Grey, which resulted in a [[spoiler:temporary death]]: |
| 124 | -->'''Gandalf:''' You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Sacred Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOOUU! SHALL NOOOT!! PAAAAAAASSSS!!!]] |
| 125 | * [[spoiler:Afterwards, [[CameBackStrong he returned to life ten times stronger]] as Gandalf the White, successor to the now corrupted Saruman.]] |
| 126 | * His position was challenged when a dissenter made a statement against his speech to the Balrog as a MemeticMutation that influenced his ascension. However, he managed to give a good argument against said dissenter, that his sacrifice because of it was pivotal for the Fellowship to continue on their journey to destroy the Ring, meme or not. So it was that the three justices decreed that Gandalf remain in the Pantheon, especially Captain America. Many breathed a sigh of relief. [[HumorMode Said dissenter may very well have been a salty Saruman]]. |
| 127 | * Suffice to say, many good-aligned deities rejoiced at his ascension, and his good friends, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins promptly held a party for him in their [[Pantheon/{{Humanoids}} Bag End-esque temple]] to celebrate. Many tears were shed, especially by Bilbo, because he had passed away before truly savouring time with his fellow wizard in the Undying Lands. It was here that he first met Albus Dumbledore, his most well-known counterpart and contemporary, who Gimli had invited on the suggestion of someone from the House of Magic he asked in passing. The two enjoyed a good conversation that day, getting to know one another and becoming good friends. At the time, Dumbledore was still a headmaster of the [[Pantheon/{{School}} Elysium Academy]] after having a good conversation with him on his first day in the Pantheon. Dumbledore has since left this post, but the two serve as guest speakers for magic-based seminars at the Academy. Ever since a certain show where the two were [[WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory represented by rivaling battle rappers]] (Dumbledore's man being the winner), the two like to occasionally butt heads in front of the students for laughs. |
| 128 | ** Whenever he can, Gandalf talks to Dumbledore's protege, Harry Potter, and has taught him spells from the Legendarium universe for greater versatility, what with the boy's responsibilities as one of the Four Magicians of the House of Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery. He first heard of Lord Voldemort from Harry's account of how his parents got killed, and silently swore to avenge the boy by defeating the dark wizard. Upon further research, Gandalf's discovery that Voldemort had abandoned his humanity and sanity in exchange for immortality, killed his own father for being an unworthy Muggle, and most of all, [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove scorned the idea of love]], has propelled him to the top of Gandalf's enemies list behind only Sauron and Melkor. He also views Voldemort's horde of Dementors with utter disgust with regards to their ability to feed on people's happiness and soul-sucking abilities, seeing them as parasitic abominations worse than the Nazgûl. |
| 129 | * Years ago, he and Saruman used to be friends, that is until Saruman betrayed him and joined Sauron's cause. This further stings as Saruman was once a staunch opposer to the Dark Lord, but fell to evil upon witnessing Sauron's true power. Nowadays, they're bitter enemies. Because of this, he is naturally wary of anyone who is similar to him, becoming a bitter enemy of Count Dooku for resembling Saruman in both treachery and appearance. He has made an exception for the man who provided said appearance, Creator/ChristopherLee, greeting him merrily when he ascended into the Pantheon full-time after his passing. Though they don't meet often, with Gandalf's duties as a protector of the Pantheon, when they do, they share a good meal at the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} and break bread every now and then. Gandalf has to respect Lee's acting pedigree, and Lee offers him perspective on both Saruman and Dooku that occasionally informs later confrontations with the two. |
| 130 | ** This opposition to Count Dooku and the Separatists led to him meeting Master Yoda in his early days in the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood. Both respect each other as powerful mentors to the protagonsts who saved their worlds, and it's often speculated that he is one of the few deities who know Yoda's true species. He also has a friendship with Obi-Wan Kenobi stemming from when the Jedi Knight was in the House of Pantheon/{{Defense}}. He directly opposes the Sith as well on how they are motivated by giving in to passion and evil, especially Palpatine, who leads the [[Pantheon/GUAEConquestForce active forces]] of Melkor's Alliance of Evil. He blames him (correctly) for causing the fall of Obi-Wan's apprentice, Anakin, to the dark side. |
| 131 | ** In fact, Gandalf met Vader himself after answering a distress call from the House of Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare and arrived in the midst of a terrorist attack which injured the entirety of the 501st Legion. Had a conversation with the Dark Lord of the Sith whilst carting the soldiers to safety, with Vader telling the White Wizard in an aside that he had renounced the GUAE but was now serving as a mole. For Vader to immediately trust Gandalf with this secret ''before'' he joined the GUAG was proof enough for him, and now Gandalf has a (publicly) tenuous alliance with the Chosen One. |
| 132 | ** [[spoiler:Said terrorist attack turned out to be Anavel Gato's explosive ascension and subsequent attack on his hall after his brief disappearance from stealing the Gundam [=GP02A=] Physalis from the Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivision containment facility.]] A few months before, he [[ContrivedCoincidence just happened to be passing that exact facility]] when Robot War Division commander Bright Noa was making a routine perimeter check, and was present to see Gato steal the Physalis from its vault, again dealing heavy casualties. He became a friend of the Eternal Captain this way too while dealing with the fallout, though Bright's straight-laced attitude does not mesh well with his chummy, CoolOldGuy demeanour. |
| 133 | * As one of the most important and influential people in the Pantheon, Gandalf has so many relationships and alliances that to [[WallOfText list them all]] would take another Age. So only the highlights are listed here. Oddly enough, despite his righteous and chummy nature, Gandalf deliberately took his time getting to that point, choosing not to associate directly with anyone in his first few months in the Pantheon other than his fellow Middle-Earth deities, Dumbledore, and Harry. For those few months, he met with fellow White Council member Elrond to get his bearings of the place. The elf very graciously brought him to meet many prominent members of the Main House, the head honchos of the Pantheon, particularly the Holy Trinity (before it was disbanded), where he met his creator, Eru Ilúvatar, for the first time. Other interactions can be seen as follows: |
| 134 | ** After meeting his [[TheMaker creator god]], who commended him for his stalwart protection of Middle-Earth from the evils of Sauron and turncoat Saruman, the god elected the wizard as his representative to the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood. Upon meeting with Cosmos to discuss his entry into the Alliance, Gandalf believes her a fine lady deserving of every ounce of respect she gets, comparing the Goddess of [[BigGood Good]] to the Lady of Lórien, Galadriel. They parted on good terms and maintain a close professional relationship in their war against Melkor. He rose through the ranks of the organization, becoming a prospective member of the [[Pantheon/GUAGCommand Command Division]], though he was passed over in favour of [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Manwë Sulimo]], Melkor's brother. He does not take it personally, and frequently collaborates with the Maiar. [[spoiler:With the re-organization of the Alliance, it looks like Gandalf may get his command seat after all]]. |
| 135 | ** Like [[Pantheon/PersonalityMisc Philemon]], he used to be an insufferable jerk before meeting Bilbo Baggins. He's one of the nicest gods in the Pantheon. They have bonded greatly over this shared characteristic, but Gandalf is a little skeptical as to how the Living Embodiment of [[HumansAreSpecial All of Humanity's Goodness]] could not have spared a bit more purity to humanity to prevent their corruption by the One Ring. Naturally, this makes him a enemy of Nyarlathotep, the Living Embodiment of [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters All Evil in Humanity's Heart]]. |
| 136 | ** True to his title, Gandalf doesn't allow anyone to trespass the Main House, serving as a primary guardian, believing that the gods inside have a good reason to keep things private from the rest of the Pantheon. The only times he failed was when [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes The Spy]], who managed to enter in disguise as [[Pantheon/GamingGenres John Carmack]], evaded him. A LOT. It took The Spy changing disguises out of boredom for Haruhi to catch him masquerading as her, and ever since, Haruhi has been more than a little skeptical of Gandalf's usefulness. Nevertheless, they are still allies. Every now and again he serves as a mentor to her from improperly using her ResetButton, even back in the days of the Holy Trinity before she advocated for the group's retirement. Then there was that attack by Arktivus Brevon, but that's [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil another story]]. |
| 137 | ** He has camaraderie with Superman, Son Goku and Valvatorez. He serves as a mentor to the fight-hungry Goku, and has more than once reined in his more fiery tendencies. He stifled a chuckle when Goku's wife [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Chi-Chi]] lectured her husband and Superman after one of their boss fights. He also got to know of Hellsing's Alucard through Valvatorez, and when necessary, fights alongside him whenever he catches wind of a Millennium plot. The Major is obviously laughing hysterically at how such a powerful wizard is now targeting him. Similarly, he is not a fan of Goku's friendly rival, God of Destruction Beerus, disparagingly thinking him lazy and sloppy, though he's too polite to say that out loud. |
| 138 | * A bit displeased that the One Ring has re-materialised in the Pantheon and is now in storage in the [[Pantheon/TheGreatTreasury Vault]] under [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity maximum security]]. He wonders why they don't just teleport to [[Pantheon/PopulatedAreas Mordor]] and chuck it back into Mount Doom, along with every other dangerous artifact in the Vault. He has since acknowledged that such reality-warping and destructive items are needed to maintain equilibrium in the Pantheon, and has abandoned the matter. [[spoiler:As of late, he has cultivated ties with Turaga Whenua and the SCP Foundation to triple security on the One Ring]]. |
| 139 | ** Via Whenua, he got to meet Mata Nui, whom he holds in high esteem for being a supporter of the abundance of life in the Pantheon. This has put him on Teridax's enemy list. Simultaneously, he got to know Primus this way, and has since become a staunch ally with the Autobots, whose leader he finds very similar and a honourable soldier. Optimus looks upon Gandalf as the pinnacle of beings who fight for 'the freedom that is the right of all sentient beings'. |
| 140 | * While he does not outright antagonize high-ranked gods of the Main House (except Melkor and Sauron), Gandalf is against quite a lot of the evil-aligned ones for their unfairly extremist views. |
| 141 | ** Gandalf opposes Darkseid and Zamasu for their domineering outlook on mortals and that they should be subjugated for their own good. Zamasu in particular is a sore subject for him, given he had a brief duel with him on the argument of how certain deities in the Pantheon shouldn't be there given their non-godly status in their home universes. Zamasu's ally, Yuuki Terumi, also provokes his utter hate. |
| 142 | ** His [[HateSink biggest hate]], however, like nearly everyone else in the Pantheon, is directed at the Anti-Monitor for his desire for wanton destruction of EVERYTHING, so nothing can exist ever again. He is willing to use the power of his true form against him, and as an Istari, [[OhCrap that's bad]]. |
| 143 | ** Had it not been for Melkor and the GUAE taking precedence, YHVH might have been a full-on enemy of his, as he believes that freedom is beneficial and that the world should be happy with this, not under a regime that controls and monitors everything for law. He's NeutralGood, not LawfulGood for a reason. He is against Big Brother for this reason too, but is even more shocked that his regime is run by ordinary Men. |
| 144 | ** He is against YHVH's polar opposite, Lucifer, for corresponding reasons. |
| 145 | * His relationship with [[Pantheon/{{Quirks}} J.R.R. Tolkien]], his other superior, is warm. Gandalf treats the author as TheManBehindTheMan to Eru and complimented him on the expansive fictional world he has created, the Legendarium. Nevertheless, he feels just a little bit cheated at the fact that said literary world was meant to enthral and educate book readers considering the trials the Free People had to endure in the War of the Ring. Through Tolkien, he has gotten to know plenty more literary geniuses, such as Terry Pratchett. |
| 146 | * Through Terry Pratchett, he got to know Deadpool. Isn't quite sure what to make of the Merc With A Mouth yet, given how absolutely meta and nonchalant he is about everything. |
| 147 | * Has jokingly remarked that if he wasn't so busy attending to GUAG and Main House duties, he would constantly be going on walk-around tours to meet new deities. When he's (rarely) off-duty, this is a favourite pastime of his. |
| 148 | * Met Iroh on one of these tours, and as such, Gandalf is a regular at his tea shop, the Jasmine Dragon in the sub-house of Pantheon/MealsNToZ. They are fond of sharing and recollecting experiences from their war days (Iroh more as his war days are in the past mostly). As such, has met many from Team Avatar, particularly Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko, Gandalf has gained the enmity of his usurping brother, [[spoiler:former]] Fire Lord Ozai for this. Ozai may be eyeing Gandalf's ring to further enhance his (restored) firebending ability. |
| 149 | * Speaking of Gandalf's ring, it is called Narya, one of the Elven rings of power which is thought to give the wearer immense control over fire. Not surprising why Ozai covets it for himself, for it would boost his power immensely as one of the Three Rings of Power to the point of being able to challenge Sauron himself, [[spoiler:minus the One Ring]]. Gandalf has reportedly never used his ring to such an extent, possibly due to fear of being called a hypocrite for trying to destroy the One Ring while wearing the same type of ring. One wonders why he doesn't chuck ''that'' ring into Mount Doom as well.[[labelnote:*]]the three Elven rings of power were never meant to corrupt like the One Ring, only preserve and heal[[/labelnote]] Because of this connection, he has some affinity for the House of Pantheon/FireAndHeat, especially some of the good-aligned deities there, Alexstrasza, Hestia and Recca Hanabishi. Molag Bal is an enemy of his on account of his Balrog-like soldiers and his utter depravity. |
| 150 | ** The ring is likely the reason why Gandalf is so good with pyrotechnics and explosives. He sells giant fireworks marked with the letter 'G' and they enthrall the children of the Pantheon to no end. Pinkie Pie keeps clamouring to have more of these fireworks in bulk, and Gandalf is nothing if not giving. He does admit a bit of exasperation at her enthusiasm since he can barely keep up with demand from those who order his fireworks. |
| 151 | * Many parallels have been made between his world and that of George RR Martin's creation, Game of Thrones. Gandalf doesn't like to admit it, but that world's [[CrapsackWorld near lack of a moral centre]] where peasants starve, incest abounds and corruption lurks in every cranny (even in the royal houses) pretty much puts in on a whole new level compared to Arda, where evil originated from one single being and spread to others ([[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]], then [[Pantheon/TyrannicalFigures Sauron]]). As such, he has high hopes for the new Lord of the Six Kingdoms, [[spoiler:Bran Stark]], to usher in a new age of peace and prosperity. Gandalf has also learnt a lot about balancing honor and pragmatism from the folly of his father, Ned, who reminds him of [[Creator/SeanBean Boromir]]. He warns him to not always rely on that alone, for it makes him look stupid in the eyes of other Houses and led to his death. May have been the one who introduced Ned to Aragorn in an effort to change his worldview. He has a similar respect for House Tyrell but is aware that their care for the common people is a farce to boost their PR and get in favour with those of King's Landing. The Houses Lannister, Frey, Bolton and Greyjoy? |

| 153 | * One time after leaving a seminar, Gandalf caught teacher Agatha Trunchbull dressing down a student for her bonkers hairstyle and threatening to [[DisproportionateRetribution put her in the Chokey]] or worse. Obviously, the White Wizard was not happy and almost gave her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, but stopped just short of doing so. The sheer power emanating from him at that moment scared the SadistTeacher out of her wits, and she retreated back to her office in fear, despite trying to look unperturbed. One would imagine he would do the same to Dolores Umbridge. |
| 154 | * As seen above, it takes a lot to get him angry. When he is.... well, start running. |
| 155 | * Reminds people that he's obviously compared with Magneto due to the fact that [[Creator/IanMcKellen both have the same portrayer]]. Until Creator/MichaelFassbender. Gandalf meets with Magneto in the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}} sometimes to discuss the oppression of mutantkind back in the Marvel Universe. He is glad that Erik is taking a more neutral approach to the humans oppressing mutants. He fears for mutant Jean Grey as a result, seeing the Overdeity-level powers as too much for her and a liability to her safety, though he can't do too much about that. |
| 156 | * He is an ardent supporter and compatriot of the indirect inspiration for his character, the Norse god Odin. Both share a friendly rivalry with [[WizardClassic Classical Wizard]] Merlin. From this alliance, he is an enemy of Ragnarok-bringer Surtr. He naturally has tense connections with Loki, the god of trickery, [[spoiler:despite his apparent HeelFaceTurn]]. |
| 157 | * Met the Doctor whilst he was in a sticky situation with The Beast. The Time Lord is grateful to him for getting him out of that [[NoodleIncident sticky situation]] in the House of Pantheon/{{Demons}}. Given the Doctor's time-travelling hijinks, they don't meet terribly much. Even more so due to his constantly changing faces. |

| 198 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/WitchesAndWizards Wicked Witch of the West]] |
| 199 | * [[TheLegionsOfHell When demons threatened to destroy the city of Mariner Bay]], the government responded by sponsoring an agency known as Lightspeed Rescue [[HomeGuard to protect the city]]. In true to form, their prime workers in the organization were the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Called to perform their duties in the Pantheon, these Rangers have a lot more things to deal with than last time. |
| 200 | * The reason why they were picked over their Super Sentai counterparts is that while all the members of the Tatsumi family are rescue workers, [[SecretIdentity their actions as Rangers aren’t endorsed by the government]]. Lightspeed Rescue [[MildlyMilitary is a government-funded organization]] who had the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers’ identities publicly revealed with little issue. |
| 201 | * At least a good half of the team consisted of those involved with the EmergencyServices, and the rest have skills that are valued in that field. Ryan is the oddball out for not have had training on that field [[TaughtByExperience but he learns as he fights alongside the team]]. |
| 202 | * Notable for being the more dangerous Ranger teams [[BunnyEarsLawyer because they really don’t hold back on their enemies]]. Them being a group of trained professionals, [[CombatPragmatist they would use every tactic possible as long as it doesn’t hurt any innocents]]. |
| 203 | * The House of Demons freaked a bit [[TheDreaded after hearing the dangers of Lightspeed Rescue]]. Even without water, the Rangers will try to always find a way to destroy a demonic enemy. The Wicked Witch of the West was kinda freaked out too when [[KillItWithWater they essentially splashed some of them to death]]. |
| 204 | ** Granted it’s not like they aren’t entirely opposed to the idea all demons are evil ([[NobleDemon even their nemesis had some noble traits]]), it’s just that quite frankly, [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the majority are]] and the team is thankful that DemonLordsAndArchdevils of the Pantheon haven’t unified yet otherwise they’d have their work cut out for them. |
| 205 | * Friends with Captain Titus for reminding them of [[TheMentor Captain Mitchell]], their superior officer and father of [[MilitaryBrat Dana and Ryan]]. Titus is there if Lightspeed Rescue needs anyone of the side to help them out. |
| 206 | * Enemies with Dracula for being able to [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse summon an army of demons to ravage the country]]. [[WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017 Results of that time were]]... [[NauseaFuel gory to say the least]]. |
| 207 | * Managed to be enemies with Griffith too for [[EvilFormerFriend betraying his friends to become a demon]]. The team views that as [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable]] and is willing to wage war with the Godhand. |
| 208 | * Are friends with the Pantheonic Time Police due to the Series/PowerRangersTimeForce being one their followers. They still owe them for that [[Recap/PowerRangersTimeForceTimeForLightspeed incident with Vypra]]. |
| 209 | * One of the first Ranger teams to have their identities exposed to the public. Zordon was an advocate for Rangers to keep their duties as a SecretIdentity but doesn’t mind. He only told the teams he was looking after to keep their secret is because [[IJustWantToBeNormal he wanted them to have normal lives aside from being Rangers]]. Lightspeed Rescue is made of a group of professionals, so he could understand the need for it. |
| 210 | * Exclusive to Carter: |
| 211 | ** [[HeroicFireRescue A firefighter formerly]] before becoming the Red Lightspeed Ranger, Carter is likely one of the fire responders when it comes to fires breaking out. Is attempting to form a firefighting team with Smokey the Bear. |
| 212 | ** [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority Seems to get a lot of upgrades in comparison to his teammates]]. Carter does want those upgrades to extend to his team and is busy trying to have that issue resolved. |
| 213 | ** Since [[FollowingInTheirRescuersFootsteps he follows in the footsteps of his rescuer who was a firefighter]], he’a friends with Josuke Higashikata who honors his rescuer as well. |
| 214 | * Exclusive to Chad: |
| 215 | ** Chad was a performer at a marine park before he became a member of Lightspeed Rescue. As a result, he has a [[MakingASplash natural affinities for water and aquatic creatures]]. |
| 216 | ** [[InterspeciesRomance Tried to have a fling with a mermaid once]] but didn’t work out. Seems to be friends of intelligent ocean life regardless. |
| 217 | ** [[FriendToAllLivingThings As a friend of all marine animals]], Chad tried to extend his friendship to Bruce, otherwise the shark called Jaws. One could imagine the look of Chad’s face when Bruce pulled a JumpScare at him. |
| 218 | * Exclusive to Joel: |
| 219 | ** Joel was [[AcePilot stunt pilot]] prior to becoming a member of the team. A good way to get on his good side is to be an awesome pilot, which is why Fox [=McCloud=] and other jet pilots impressed him. [[SpaceFighter Spaceship pilots]] also fall in his dictionary on RuleOfCool. |
| 220 | ** Was impressed by Gauron’s piloting until he met the man himself. Joel will not acknowledge Gauron is even a person [[NoodleIncident after seeing his psychotic nature up close]]. |
| 221 | ** Nobody knows what happens to his hat when he transforms. Just one of the many mysteries of the Morphon Grid. |
| 222 | * Exclusive to Kelsey: |
| 223 | ** [[PassionateSportsGirl A sports fanatic]], Kelsey lives the athletic life and finds friends with those who exercises. Managed to be recruited to Lightspeed Rescue thanks to her skills. |
| 224 | ** [[SecretlyWealthy She comes from a rich family secretly]] but is humble about it. Haru Okumura respects Kelsey thanks to this bit of info due to not flaunting her status either. |
| 225 | ** Cersei Lannister is repulsed by Kelsey. [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon How could a daughter of aristocrats be so boyish]]? Kelsey really doesn’t care, calling Cersei an unpleasant lady from the olden days. |
| 226 | * Exclusive to Dana: |
| 227 | ** Dana was raised to help battle against the soon to be invading demon army, becoming a medic and a Ranger in the process. Despises Mildred Ratched for perverting her duties as a nurse ForTheEvulz. |
| 228 | ** Hates Count Olaf for his treatment of the children he was in custody of, [[ThereAreNoTherapists who likely require lots of therapy after]]. Though she’s not versed in mental health, she’s open for any of those kids to talk with her. This hatred likely manifested thanks to her brother being separated from her much of their lives. |
| 229 | ** Almost became a model but chose her duties above all else. Gets offers time to time and she declines. |
| 230 | *** However, after hearing the specifics of her brief stint, she was given a better offer; she won't have to prioritize her photoshoots over her Ranger duties (that last boss really had some SkewedPriorities), and she's allowed to keep her Morpher around. She was more receptive to that, though she's still not a frequent in the industry. |
| 231 | * Exclusive to Ryan: |
| 232 | ** [[LongLostRelative The Mitchell twins were separated for much of their lives]] thanks to Ryan [[DealWithTheDevil being taken care by demons in exchange to save his life]]. Ryan became the Titanium Ranger, being an enemy of the team formerly before realizing his true origins and [[HeelFaceTurn joining them]]. |
| 233 | ** Due to being formerly worked with evil forces, he’s friends with those who have been taken and raised by others while being good in contrast to him beings enemies with those trying to [[TheDarkSide corrupt those with potential for good]]. |
| 234 | ** Sympathizes with Zuko and Raven for their [[AbusiveParents horrible parents]]. It's not like Ryan was raised in the most ideal conditions either. |

| 262 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Matoko Itou]], [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Jin Kisaragi]] |
| 263 | * Special Relationship: '''[[Pantheon/SplitPersonalities Jin Kazama]], [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Jun Kazama]] (her relatives from her clan, how related they are is said to be [[WordOfGod complicated]])''' |
| 264 | * A member of the Kazama clan who hails from Osaka, known throughout her hometown for wanting to fix everybody’s problems and for her desire to find peace between two sides of any unnecessary fights, which usually results in knockout. She swore revenge against Feng Wei after hearing from Lei Wulong that he hurt her father and sent him to the hospital by attending the fifth Iron Fist Tournament, hearing that he’s going to be one of its many contestants. She eventually developed a strong rivalry with Lili after Asuka defeated her and never settled her revenge on Wei as she never found him and decided to return to her normal life. When hearing that the one who caused the global war, Jin Kazama, is a relative of hers, she decided to hunt him down, ashamed that he tarnished her family, all the while her rivalry with Lili is growing stronger than ever. |
| 265 | * She first came into the Pantheon when she helped Jimmy Hopkins breaking up fellow gangsters when a fight between the two went way too far. After that, she and Jimmy developed a great friendship and this caused Jimmy to request the Court of Gods to ascend her, reasoning that she is the type of person who wants peace in her hometown and her stubborn nature causes her to involve herself into conflicts that doesn’t involve her, usually solving it with violence, to teach them a lesson and won’t stop until they learned it. The Court of Gods have accepted his case and overjoyed to see herself ascended, she said a warm thank you to him. |
| 266 | * Hearing that Jin Kazama is actually in the Pantheon, Asuka went furious over this, however, she doesn’t want to waste her entire time tracking him down and decides to let others do the job and follow her daily routine for the time being. She met Lili again, who demands a rematch of her again and keeps following her around making the same demand over and over again that she decided to accept her request and have a rematch every now and then. |
| 267 | * One thing about Asuka that majority of the residents have wished to exploit is her mysterious, angel-like powers that are exactly like Jun Kazama. They believe that her powers could help cure the devil gene as shown if she won the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament and there is more to her relationship with Jin and Jun since the latter is the chosen one of the Kazama clan and is the only one besides Asuka to have those powers. For now, the Court of Gods have told the Pantheon to keep it a secret to her and anyone living in her universe and that Asuka should discover those powers by herself. |
| 268 | * Along with Jimmy Hopkins, she became friends with other {{bully hunter}}s such as Mikoto Misaka, Kyo Kusanagi, Chie Satonaka, Matilda Wormwood, and Pippi Longstocking. Although Kyo doesn’t fight bullies as much as he does and focuses more on his fighting tournaments, he tries to help his fellow bully hunters as much as he could, even if he and Asuka spite at each other sometimes since he can be full of himself. Asuka admires Chie’s sense of justice and aspiration to become a police officer. She is also impressed at Matilda’s telekinesis and how she uses it to exploit Trunchball, Mikoto’s usage of electricity towards criminals, and Pippi’s strength despite her pale appearance and wants to see how she could beat them all of them (which includes Jimmy, Chie, and Kyo) in a fair fight (except for Matilda and Pippi, since they’re still children). The only bully hunter she doesn’t like is Makoto Itou because of how his relationship with girls turn out and how reckless he is in his decisions regarding them. |
| 269 | * As obvious, she doesn’t like bullies such as Libby Chessler and Bill Tannen, especially the latter because he never learned his lesson even as an adult and wants to kick him to teach him. She also hates Agatha Trunchbull and Dolores Umbridge for their love of torturing their students and is rather happy when she hears what Matilda and [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Fred and George Weasley]] did to them respectively. |
| 270 | ** Although she couldn’t forgive for what he did in the past, she is impressed that Johnny Lawrence is trying to change to become better and wants to help him in that being a woman who strives for peace in her community and sees that as a win. When she hears that he has a dojo running, she occasionally comes in as a guest to see how he teaches his students and even participates in the lessons so that she could become stronger. |
| 271 | ** The same could be said for Himeko Onizuka, whom she felt pity for since it first happened because she was betrayed by her former friend. That said, Asuka is happy to see that she quit her former reputation and that she led a happier life with Bossun and Switch and helps her fight against enemies who want to pick a fight with her. |
| 272 | ** Thanks to her friendship with Johnny, she has also opposed John Kreese. Oh, she could agree with his point of how the world is such a cruel place, but that doesn’t mean you should corrupt your students to become more aggressive to their opponents to prove your ideals and she thinks that him using that tactic makes him a bigger hypocrite since he’s just the corrupting the world if that is his method. Ever since she heard about him, she stayed at Johnny’s temple even more to keep his students safe from Kreese, usually staying at the doorstep. |
| 273 | ** One time, Asuka saw Eliza Reagan bullying Candice White, mocking her for her orphaned status. This pisses her off and proceeds to interrupt them, telling Eliza to apologize to Candice. At first, the rich girl laughs at her demand, but her actions caused her to be almost hit by Asuka, the latter deciding not to hit her since she is defenseless and just wants her to learn her lesson and told her if she doesn’t back off from bullying Candice, she will face dire consequences. This scares Eliza and proceeds to run away to be with her brother, who develops a hatred of Asuka for scaring his sister and her vigilantism towards bullying. Asuka’s actions also caused her to become good friends with Candice and Asuka took it on herself to teach Candice martial arts to protect herself against Eliza and Neil. |
| 274 | * Issei Hyodo has also tried to grope her breasts, only to get the same response. Whilst Asuka initially considered Issei nothing more than a pervert and said she's baffled on how he managed to get his own harem, he's tried to prove otherwise since this episode. She warmed up to him when he kicked around a bunch of guys that attempted to harass her. While she still balks at his perverted remarks and wonders how he has so many female admirers, she does look up to his sense of chivalry, and after learning from [[Pantheon/BodyImages Rias Gremory]] about a tragically cruel incident involving his ex-girlfriend Raynare, Asuka can't help but feel pity for him. Since Raynare herself ascended to the Pantheon, Asuka is looking forward to wiping the smug grin off of the fallen angel's face. |
| 275 | * Originally rivals with Chun-Li and Cammy during the Pandora Incident, Asuka has since then become much more friendly with them. Admiring their jobs as agents of justice, she aspires to be like them by working harder to keep her hometown safe, although Chun-Li and Cammy are worried towards her stubbornness to head towards trouble. Asuka has also developed a rivalry with Karin Kanzuki, whom the latter reminds the former of her rival Lili, but she finds her much more pleasant company than her rival thanks to her newfound respect towards her opponents and changing her personality to become a better person, thus the two have established a friendship, though the two are still rivals and have respected and complimented each other’s lifestyles and martial arts skills. |
| 276 | * Asuka has also got along with Ayumu Kasuga since they are both from Osaka (making it natural that she's one of the few people to call Osaka by her real name) and has started training her to excel in PE class, seeing how she’s failing in it. Another native from Osaka she met is Ochaco Uraraka, whom she felt pity because of her personal life and how much she wants to help her parents on their financial problems and sees her as an inspiring hero of justice because of that not to mention how optimistic she is. She also wants to help Ochaco whenever she fights normal criminals but the latter is worried for her safety given that she usually runs straight into danger and doesn’t consider her safety. |
| 277 | * Hearing about Jacqui Briggs’ exploits in her world, Asuka became fast friends with her and admires her resolve to join the military despite her father’s refusal to do so, seeing her as a fellow defender of justice. She also wants to challenge Jacqui in a fight someday and thus, trains herself in preparation for that. |

| 306 | ** Adéwalé only: [[Pantheon/{{Piracy}} Black]][[Pantheon/FacialHair beard]] and pirates in general |
| 307 | * Aveline de Grandpré and Adéwalé were members of the Assassin Brotherhood during the 18th century. Although they were contemporaries[[labelnote:*]]Aveline was 11 around the time Adéwalé died.[[/labelnote]], the two had never met each other prior to ascending into the Pantheon as followers of Ezio Auditore. When Ezio learned of their respective lifelong devotions towards fighting slavery, he was sufficiently impressed to offer them a title for ascension, which they accepted and agreed to share. |
| 308 | * Aside from enjoying happy reunions with fellow Assassins Connor and Edward Kenway respectively, they quickly befriended other prominant black people in the Pantheon such as Tiana and Naveen (Aveline especially likes them, since she's also from New Orleans) as well as black superheroes such as Static, Black Lightning, Luke Cage, Storm and Black Panther. |
| 309 | * They also get along with other slave liberators such as Daenerys I Targaryen and Blackthorne. However, they were quite disturbed to learn of how Daenerys [[spoiler:had gone crazy and burned down King's Landing]], though she quickly assured them that she's trying to redeem herself for what she had done. |
| 310 | * They strongly respect Abraham Lincoln for abolishing slavery and Atticus Finch for defending a black man who was falsely accused of rape. Having dealt with slavers and racists in their own time, they consider Lincoln's relatively racist beliefs [[FairForItsDay to be quite forward thinking by comparison]]. |
| 311 | * Although neither of them is particularly fond of Jack Sparrow, they appreciate his stance against slavery and Adéwalé occasionally sits down with him for a drink to reminisce about his time as a pirate. |
| 312 | * They don't particularly like any of the Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, primarily because they didn't abolish slavery after founding the United States. They were initially wary of Franklin after learning of how he had unwittingly aided the Templars on several occasions, though they eventually warmed up to him after he informed them of he became an extremely prominent abolitionist in his later years. |
| 313 | * Unsurprisingly, they strongly oppose Shay Cormac and Alexios, since the former is a Templar and the latter shares a similar philosophy. Adéwalé in particular dislikes Shay for [[spoiler:killing him]], betraying the Assassins and purging the Colonial Brotherhood. |
| 314 | * Their continued fight against slavery and human trafficking of any kind has put them into conflict with the likes of Calvin Candie and Stephen, The Slavers, The Coachman and Gleeman Vox. Candie and Stephen are particularly afraid of Adéwalé due to how his status as a former slave has resulted in him having an especially strong hatred of them. |
| 315 | * Being protectors of free will, they quickly came to oppose YHVH, Nerose Satanael and Qin Shi Huang, who each desire to erase free will in order to achieve utopia. |
| 316 | * They're both opposed to Scarlett O'Hara due to her representing a deeply apologetic view towards the Confederate States, which includes the casual practice of slavery and the racist undertone. However, their view of her is also somewhat conflicted due to the fact that she herself [[PetTheDog isn't particularly racist or cruel to black people]]. |
| 317 | * They feel sorry for both Othello and Candyman, both of whom are black men who met tragic ends due to [[MalignedMixedMarriage being in love with white women]]. While they get along decently with Othello, they tend to avoid Candyman due to him having become a VengefulGhost. |
| 318 | * When they learned that Naofumi Iwatani had bought two girls as slaves, they quickly confronted him with the intention of freeing the girls. However, they were understandably very confused when the girls, Raphtalia and Filo, actually defended him. The girls explained that, due to being [[LittleBitBeastly Demi-humans]], they're actually safer as slaves under a nice master instead of being free, as then they at least have some legal protections as opposed to none if they where to be free. Although Aveline and Adéwalé still don't condone the arrangement, they're willing to leave Naofumi alone as long as continues treating the girls well. |
| 319 | * Aveline only: |
| 320 | ** Aveline was born in New Orleans in 1747 to the wealthy French merchant Philippe de Grandpré and an African slave by the name of Jeanne and was raised in a comfortable and privileged environment. Shrewd by nature, Aveline noticed the contrasts present within the society she lived in and, at the age of twelve, resolved to act against this injustice. Following an attempt to rescue a man from enslavement, she met the Assassin Agaté, who was impressed by her dedication to pursuing freedom. He decided to take Aveline under his wing, training her to become an official member of the Brotherhood. Aveline subsequently grew into her role of an Assassin, fighting to defend the oppressed slaves of New Orleans. |
| 321 | ** Her friendship with Tiana and Naveen resulted in her becoming enemies with Dr. Facilier, whose attempt to take over New Orleans reminds her of the rogue Assassin and voodoo leader Baptiste, who attempted to poison the nobles of New Orleans. |
| 322 | ** ''"I stand with those who stand with me. I lure my prey through the guise of a lady. I escape unnoticed through the veil of a slave. And though I may conceal my identity, one thing is certain: commit injustice in this world, and I'll send you to the next. I am Aveline de Grandpré, I am an Assassin, and I fight for liberation."'' |
| 323 | * Adéwalé only: |
| 324 | ** Born into slavery on Trinidad in 1692, Adéwalé recognized the oppression visited upon those who worked the sugar plantations, and frequently dwelt on means of achieving his freedom. He finally managed to escape in 1708, when pirates arrived at the plantation where he worked and raided the storehouse. Killing his master and grabbing a crate of sugar, Adéwalé joined the pirates in their pillaging and was welcomed by them among their number. During the early 18th century, Adéwalé served as Edward Kenway's quartermaster aboard the ''Jackdaw'' before eventually assuming the captaincy of his own vessel, the ''Victoire'', and later the ''Experto Crede'' in 1735. That year, he briefly set aside his duties as an Assassin in order to aid the Maroon rebellion in Saint-Domingue. Adéwalé was later [[spoiler:killed in 1758 by the Templar Shay Cormac during the Colonial Brotherhood purge]]. |
| 325 | ** He was quite pleased to meet Edward's grandson Connor, who had inherited his grandfather's sailing skills, and was especially happy to learn of how his own grandson, Eseosa, became a leading figure in the Haitian Revolution and had met Connor when he traveled to the Davenport Homestead to receive additional training from him. |
| 326 | ** Having been active as a pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy, he is familiar with famous pirates such as Blackbeard. However, while the experience of freedom in his life of piracy means a great deal to him and he [[WorthIt wouldn't trade it for anything in the world]], he's made it clear that he doesn't want to go back to that life either. |
| 327 | ** ''"I will show them how to fight, to bring hope back in their hearts. They will rise up and for years to come, the world will remember the cry for freedom."'' |

| 343 | * Respected by/Respects: The House Of Pantheon/{{Heroism}} |
| 344 | * Envied by: [[Pantheon/MotivationsForEvil Oersted]] |
| 345 | * An admirable trait for many in a hero is their willingness to respond just for the chance to make the world a better place. [[MissedTheCall Sure this could lead to complications down the line should the call not be intended for that hero,]] but their dedication to doing the right thing should still be honored. The Bard was one of these people, who received a dream that the world was going to end due to the goddess Eya being bored with the song that brought the world to existence, and that the only way to stop it was to learn the Earthsong from the Overseers and sing it with just about everyone on Earth. There was just a couple problems; [[TheChosenMany the major one being that he actually wasn’t the chosen one as other people have that dream as well]], like with another hero called Audrey even taking up the sword to save the world in her own own violent way of killing the Overseers to bring about the end of the world just so it can restart again. [[HeroicBSOD Despite being disappointed by this revelation,]] [[{{Determinator}} the Bard found the strength to continue and save the world in their own way,]] earning them a spot in the Pantheon. |
| 346 | * Due to the proposed title of their ascension, their task to ascend was rather straightforward. They received a dream which stated that they were called to the Pantheon for some reason, giving them a song and a place to sing. Sure enough; within thirty minutes after waking up, the Bard managed to find Miriam and the two managed to get to the Pantheon via the song from Bard's dream. [[SecretTestOfCharacter Of course, the fact that the Bard managed to do this was the test in of itself,]] and after quickly explaining everything, the Bard was more than happy to accept their position as long as Miriam was allowed to stay with them. The Bard was granted their request by letting her be their herald. |
| 347 | * They were surprised and floored to find out that their house was within the House of Pantheon/{{Heroism}}, given how they wanted to be a true hero for so long despite not willing to throw a punch. The other heroes there took a shining to the Bard, some actively approving their pacifistic style. The Bard is greatly happy to find people there that loved their harmless nature and can be seen singing along with them to raise up spirits. |
| 348 | ** Thanks to some members of this house, Bard has met up with Wander, another pacifist who wants to spread joy and happiness through the world through their music. The two quickly became fast friends, with Sylvia chuckling at their antics as she follows suit, making sure they don't wander into trouble or danger. She gets along swimmingly with Miriam, what with their snark and dedication to their friends. Through Wander, the Bard also met the Human Child, another fellow pacifist, with them being reminded of Papyrus a bit from how friendly the Bard is, even introducing them to the skeleton brothers and quickly befriending them as well. The group is now interested in creating a group dedicated to pacifism to promote the idea of love and peace. |
| 349 | * Due to their nature of being a singer, naturally they go to the House Of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} to sing a couple tunes with the folks there, making friends with just about everyone there, save for the obvious evil musicians there that use their singing for evil, like the Dazzlings, Ember, Courtney Gears and I-No. |
| 350 | ** Due to how they were able to achieve global peace through music, Bill and Ted take great joy with the Bard and how the Bard was able to use their singing to help save the universe from dying. They are looking forward to collaborating once Bill and Ted reached their full potential. In the meantime, the Bard is more than happy to provide vocal backup for their songs. They have also introduced them to the Elite Beat Agents, who perform heroic actions by singing and dancing. The Bard quickly took delight in them and is more than ready to join them, alongside fellow ally to them, Phantom R, and help save the day with their dancing and singing. |
| 351 | ** They have been teaching the Teensies some dances that they learned during their journey. This was one of the more controversial things they did, if only for the sheer fact that they taught the Teensies [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/s2vME27YXt8?t=863 how to dab]]]]. Regardless, the Teensies [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (save for the magician)]] still see them as a great friend and invite them to their disco parties. |
| 352 | ** One of their most noticeable achievements in friendship is with the Suite Pretty Cures who were floored by their voice, and even more so when hearing about their tale to track down the "Earthsong" and still saving the world despite missing a part of it. They wonder if the Bard could be able to take the role as the singer for their "Melody Of Happiness" if needed. The [=GUAG=] was happy to hear of this idea from the Suite Pretty Cure team and have that plan in reserve for now until they know if the Bard is capable of singing that song as well. |
| 353 | ** After finding out about Ashley, the Bard has since been persistent in trying to get her to meet with Miriam and her grandmother, with attempts getting shot down with her face being flushed bright red. She still allows them to visit her, but tries her best to ignore them, [[{{Tsundere}} especially when Bard points out her bright red cheeks]]. The Bard did bring Miriam with them one day, but it ended with the two witches arguing which one was better, [[NoodleIncident resulting in overgrown plants around the Pantheon, parts of Ashley's temple being blasted off and a beam war]]. Ashley did say this at the end. |
| 354 | -->'''Ashley:''' "[[Website/SCPFoundation Come back any time. I haven't had so much fun in years!]]" |
| 355 | * Has the unique honor of being one of the few people who have yet to step on a Pikmin, actively going out of their way to avoid stepping on them, [[RealityIsOutToLunch even retracing their steps back into the air and back onto the last solid ground they were on should they almost step on one.]] As a result of this dedication, Olimar and his Pikmin have become great friends of them, with the Bard even helping Olimar and his Pikmin around the Pantheon using their singing to guide them. |
| 356 | ** Another bug-sized buddy the Bard befriended was Emmet. He not only gets along with them due to Bard being careful to not step on him but also due to the fact that [[TheUnchosenOne they both fakely believed that they were the chosen one only to get their worldview shattered yet still went on to achieve their goals.]] The two have talked about how people can be special even if they aren’t TheChosenOne, and to distinguish the idea of being an actual hero to having "Hero" as a title. |
| 357 | * Due to the fact that they actually stopped not only a war but also the end of the world without resorting to violence, the Bard has shot up high up on the shitlists of the entire GUAD and several members of the house of War, especially Apollyon, who believes that war is the only way forward. When confronted by her, she attempted to chew them out for only prolonging when she perceived to be inevitable. Bard responded [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech singing about how Apollyon’s war-desiring and bloodthirsty actions will eventually drive away support and make people seek out peace]]. This just resulted in Apollyon swinging at the Bard, [[https://youtu.be/jYKhXOnzueE?t=2999 who kept blocking her attacks by summoning shields around them]] [[BigDamnHeroes until several passing deities saw the assault and stepped in to drive Apollyon away]]. |
| 358 | ** Due to his role in desiring peace, Yuji Sakai felt kind of like a heel after hearing how kind the Bard was while Yuji resorted to using violence to save his world and stop a war. While saddened by this, Bard still holds no hard feelings over him, realizing that while he did act questionably at the time, Yuji still had good intentions through and through even when he was on the villain’s side, [[TheAtoner and he is also trying to sincerely atone for his past mistakes.]] As such, the Bard is more than happy to help keep Yuji on the straight and narrow path, and in return, Yuji greatly values how kind the Bard is them, and are more than willing to protect him with brute violence should it come down to the wire. If the falling out with [[Pantheon/CharacterAdaptations Fuuka]] and [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Heinz]] served as one of the more heartbreaking friendship tragedies, Bard’s reassurance to Yuji that they’ll stay their friend is one of the more heartwarming. |
| 359 | -->'''Yuji:''' "[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII I had given into the darkness. How am I supposed to face my friends now?]]" |
| 360 | -->'''The Bard:''' [[LiteralMinded "Like this!" *Squishes their own face together*]] |
| 361 | -->'''Yuji:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny *Snickers a bit before fully laughing*]] |
| 362 | * The Bard still believes that there is some way for Giygas to become peaceful like he once was, or at the very least, less crazy. Their reason for this is that to the Bard had encountered [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm several beings of complex forms called “The Overseers”]], who had significant importance to parts of a song he needed to get to save the world, kind of like how Giygas in his youth was pacified by a song his adoptive mother used to sing to him that Ninten and his friends needed to collect to stop him from attacking Earth. It also helps their case that the Overseers were originally sweet before being corrupted by power, kind of like how Giygas was. For now, however, the Bard (after heavy pushing from some of the higher-ups as well as Miriam) has decided to at least prepare himself before trying to get into contact with Giygas to save them. |
| 363 | * Due to meeting [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything a group of friendly pirates that just sold coffee beans]], the Bard has become fast friends with other friendly pirates, namely the Straw Hat Pirates and Jack Sparrow’s group. Out of the two, the Bard prefers Luffy’s group, not only for having a greater emphasis on friendship, [[CuddleBug but because they both tend to hug each other]] while if they tried to hug Jack Sparrow he would just look confused. Of course, this did put them quickly up Akainu’s shit list. They really don’t mind and are more than willing to voice their objections to his cold treatment towards the nice pirates they met within the Pantheon. |
| 364 | * Surprisingly, despite refusing to fight, many villains are bracing themselves for them in case the Bard decides to confront them about their evil ways. The reason for this is that in the Bard’s own homeworld, [[SpannerInTheWorks every single prophecy and even the Rainbow Angel herself said that the Bard actually succeeding in their quest was not only not mentioned at ALL in their infinite years of repeating the cycle over and over,]] [[BeyondTheImpossible but was supposed to be IMPOSSIBLE.]] This has made them widely popular amongst those who are trying to ScrewDestiny, namely within the subhouse of Pantheon/OpposingFate. The Bard is seen as a shining example of how destiny isn’t always the best path and is more than welcomed here by everyone. In particular, Eldrad is more than happy with how the Bard managed to find a will to continue their quest despite being faced with plenty of HeroicBSOD moments. |
| 365 | * Of course, due to being a fellow bard, they became quick allies with Edward Chris von Muir, a fellow bard who manages to be a valuable party member despite being a simple bard. While the Bard still refuses to do any actual physical harm, he is still interested in learning how to do some of Edward's moves, namely his Bardsong which helps deal status effects to either the enemies or even help heal the party. |
| 366 | * Oersted loathes the Bard due to the fact that despite being not a fighter at all, they still managed to complete their journey and become a true hero to many others, something that Oersted ended up being pushed into villainy by everyone else. The bard for their part pities Oersted and still hopes for them one day to come around and become the hero Oersted once was. Due to this success as well as a bit of envy, the Bard is viewed as a giant threat for the rest of the Odio incarnations. However, despite this envy for them, the Bard has found a message at their temple which encouraged them to keep going and not give into hate. |
| 367 | * Has become friends with Kirby, which really isn't that much of a surprise, [[FriendToAllLivingThings considering who they are.]] However, even the Bard [[https://youtu.be/wkNXRitxP10?t=684 has trouble listening to Kirby's singing,]] not that he would tell Kirby that up close; if anything he's willing to help Kirby improve. |

| 384 | * In a future Earth, the only threat that the planet must contend with are fires. To put a stop to those dangers, a firefighting team dubbed Burning Rangers is sent to put out these fires and rescue any civilians that are at risk. After going through a few locales, the team comes across a girl named Ilia Klein, who is suffering from some kind of disease and whose spaceship is on a collision course with Earth. The Burning Rangers put a stop to the imminent danger posed by the ship and rescue Ilia, who is cured of her disease and becomes a member of the team. |
| 385 | * A large fire broke out at a factory thanks to a malfunctioning machine catching fire and spreading throughout that building. News of the factory fire spread throughout the Pantheon, but with many of the denizens who could have put out that fire and gotten everyone to safety too busy with other matters, it became clear that the owner had to locate someone that could help get the factory out of danger. It was then the owner found out about the Burning Rangers, a specialized team dedicated to incidents like this and called upon their help. Not much later, the team arrived, put out the fire, and was able to evacuate all the factory personnel in the process. The team was commended for their efforts in putting out that factory fire and was told that they would be useful in making sure the numerous fires that are bound to occur in the Pantheon are under control. For the team, they were aware that they’ve got a lot more work ahead of them and have continued doing what they do best since then. |
| 386 | * Smokey Bear considers the Burning Rangers to be role models that others should follow when it comes to preventing fires, be it in the wilderness or elsewhere. The team has done plenty of work putting out wildfires and they have sometimes appeared in [=PSAs=] that Smokey puts out in the Pantheon regarding wildfire prevention. Even if Smokey hasn’t directly participated in all of the team’s missions, the members consider him to be an honorary member (and closest thing there is to a TeamPet) of the Burning Rangers. |
| 387 | * While the fires that overtake certain areas of the Pantheon can potentially get much more severe than what the Burning Rangers were used to, the team was able to get in contact with a number of entities that were willing to help them out in their job. One of their most frequent partners was Sonic the Hedgehog, who has some level of awareness of who the group was thanks to the fact that one of the places where the Burning Rangers had a mission to complete was used as a race track for Sonic and other Sega characters. Although the team only had a faint idea of who he looked like given that they were only able to catch glimpses of him during that particular instance, Sonic’s willingness to help others in trouble earned him the team’s approval and his SuperSpeed has proven useful in rescuing those trapped in fires whenever the Burning Rangers are trying to put out strong flames. |
| 388 | * Seeing as how their adventures are available on the Sega Saturn (regardless of their game being one of the very last titles to be released on the console), Segata Sanshiro is one of the team’s biggest supporters. He has the capabilities to judo-throw any sort of obstacle in the team’s way whenever he’s helping out and has encouraged anyone that has survived the fires that the Burning Rangers put out to play their adventures on the Sega Saturn. Even if the team aren’t the kind of people to shill out their own exploits, the Burning Rangers do appreciate Segata’s help in making their rescue work easier. |
| 389 | * During their mission inside an underwater aquarium, the team rescued a dolphin and helped the team navigate that place in return for helping it out. While the team was on a break from their assignments, they ended up encountering a dolphin named Ecco, bringing back memories of that earlier dolphin from a while back. The Burning Rangers’ break was short-lived after they received a report of a building that was about to burn not far from where they were at. The team sprung into action, with Ecco helping guiding the team to where their destination was. Not long after, the Burning Rangers were able to extinguish the fire and Ecco has helped the team out for subsequent underwater missions. |
| 390 | * The Burning Rangers weren’t the only team of rescue workers in the Pantheon needed to tackle various crises that befall the place. They have come across the International Rescue and Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue at different points during their work and have gotten along very well with them. Of the members of that particular Power Rangers team, Carter Grayson has formed a strong friendship with the Burning Rangers given that he’s a firefighter much like them, though his Lightspeed Rescue teammates have no problem working with the Burning Rangers if the job calls for it. As for International Rescue, the vehicles they have at hand have been commended by the Burning Rangers for their versatility and the Tracy family has been one of the Burning Rangers most frequent allies when it comes to preventing disasters and getting civilians to safety. |
| 391 | ** One rescue worker (or rather, former rescue worker as the team found out) that surprised the Burning Rangers was Sei Asagiri, a girl who worked for the White Knights, a corrupt law enforcement group in the dystopian world of Glitch City. Unlike the rest of the White Knights, Sei really believed in helping people out of their troubles and was the only member of the group spared after the White Knights’ corruption was exposed. It came as a shock for the Burning Rangers to learn about corrupt regimes within a group that’s seemingly focused on protecting people’s lives. Sei is now focused on being a bodyguard for her friend Stella Hoshii, but still wishes the Burning Rangers well for their rescue missions. |
| 392 | * Fire has always been a burden for the Burning Rangers given how much they’ve confronted it. What ended up making their work more complicated than before was the existence of deities who will actively burn things for their own amusement. With a decent number of such, ranging from delusional maniacs such as The Pyro to actively malicious fire starters such as Firefly, the Burning Rangers’ work has gotten more dangerous than before and they are willing to stop those particular threats if given the chance. Of these pyromaniacs, the team has a strong hatred towards SCP-457 given its potential to cause serious fire-based damage to its surroundings via splitting itself when it is strong enough in addition to it essentially being a living form of fire. |
| 393 | * Not only do these deranged pyromaniacs and malicious practitioners of fire exist in the Pantheon, but so do pyromancers that have no ill intent. While the Burning Rangers were assured that the benevolent pyromancers aren’t going to be a problem for them, it was a number of large creatures that are capable of using fire that the team still has some issues with. Teostra and Lunastra are two creatures with a strong affinity to fire that the team could see as highly problematic if they ended up encountering them. The fires that the two leave in their wake would likely require a lot more effort to put them out and fighting those creatures head-on would be extremely difficult. The Burning Rangers surmise that Glavenus and Gogmazios, two other creatures that can use fire in their attacks, would pose similar problems, with Gogmazios in particular being very dangerous in terms of appearance and abilities. |

| 421 | * Not to be Confused with: [[Pantheon/InvestigativeWork Richard Castle]] (Mal) |
| 422 | * The presence of the ''Serenity'' was first felt... with a few falling debris of the ship coming down on the ground before the rest of the ship made a decent landing. From there came the crew, led by a former military man called Malcolm Reynolds. Together, the crew decided to perform smuggling in protest of the ruling government. Mal had long held the title on his own for those who bring the cavalry in the nick of time to turn the tide of battles. Then he decided to grant divinity to the entire crew, [[spoiler: even those who died in the course of their stories]]. There was much rejoicing, to the crew and those who were fans of their adventures. |
| 423 | * Despite being the closest things to being heroes in their world, the crew are not welcomed by many, making them natural fits in the House of Ambiguity. In fact, Star-Lord jokingly stated that their crew may well have been their high priests despite never having that role. Mal would rather not be considered in a position that would be under anyone's authority. Nevertheless, the two groups generally like each other. |
| 424 | * They still manage to find allies in space. Namely, the ''Serenity's'' ability to save the day in the nick of time has save many a team from disaster: |
| 425 | ** Mal and his crew can't seem to stop bumping into Captain Kirk and the ''Enterprise''. In all cases it was due to coincidence. Still, Kirk is one of the few captains that Mal can trust, given both of their aversions to military excursions. That and he can always count on Kirk to find rare items to sell to the black market. |
| 426 | ** The Doctor finds the position of the ''Serenity'' to be an interesting one. As such, she pays no mind to helping them out. After all, many of her incarnations distrust the military as much as Mal does. With the rest of the crew, she is happy to listen to Kaylee's engineering tips as well as help River with her memories with her limited telepathy. |
| 427 | ** Crichton and the ''Moya'' were practically made to be allies with them. The entire crew had nasty experiences with their own corrupt government (ironically named the Peacekeepers) and Crichton himself has been known for enacting insane plans that just happen to work out. It was a match made in heaven for Mal. The crew members can be seen hanging out on multiple occasions. |
| 428 | ** Kaylee discovered another stowaway on the ship, a red-headed girl named Leeloo. Before Mal ordered the crew to dump her, the woman proved to be talented in a number of skills. Thus, he allowed her on board for the time being. She turned out to be a great crew member and became friends with a lot of the crew members. Shortly after the left, they found out that she has ascended. Mal reluctantly allows her stay when she has the need to. |
| 429 | * More often than not, most ships he come in contact with eye him with suspicion. The crew have a way with escaping any bit of authority that tries to take them in: |
| 430 | ** In any other case, Commander Shepard would have welcomed them in with open arms. Yet Mal himself would neither trust the Executive Officer nor would he ever let Shepard Commandeer his ship. Good thing villains, because any time the two team up, they are capable of laying waste to vast swaths of enemies. |
| 431 | ** Honor takes a more direct approach, regarding the ''Serenity'' as subject to capture. Unfortunately for her, Mal has made it difficult for her to find him. He usually meets up with her whenever there is a crisis her SpaceNavy cannot defeat alone. Even then, she is bound by Judge Dredd to take them in afterwards. |
| 432 | ** Samantha Carter is more conflicted in doing so. After seeing the good deeds that they have done over the years, Samantha is more willing to tolerate their presence and letting them go... in exchange for confiscating any counter-band she finds in their ship. |
| 433 | ** Usually, Commander Adama would rather focus on taking on Cylons than dealing with petty smugglers, but he follows through with trying to arrest them. Starbuck made it more of a friendly rivalry, even teasing Mal with innuendos. Mal obliges b to a point but knows better than to leave his crew vulnerable for capture. |
| 434 | ** Surgeon Pierce is the one place in the House of War that they can have safe passage. Mal and Hawkeye both experience sorrow during their time of service and do not wish to do so again. It helps that Hawkeye makes a mean bootleg drink and serves them to the ''Serenity'' in exchange for contraband from the smuggler. |
| 435 | * While they are critical of their LawfulNeutral government, they are more than happy to stick it to more authoritarian governments. This is especially true to the likes of Emperor Palpatine. He does not take their destabilization of [[TheEmpire Galactic Empire style dictatorships]] lightly. As such, he has sent many Dark Side assassins after them over the years. When that didn't work, he employed Thrawn to lay a trap on them. It would have suceeded if not for a rescue made in part by the Skywalkers. This was supported by Han Solo, himself a smuggler over the years. |
| 436 | ** After the initial problem, Thrawn solved the problem with a series of equations; by mapping when the ''Serenity'' may pop up at any time, he has learned how to completely avoid and [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damned Heroism]] that may come his way. This isn't 100% Mal proof, but it's enough to no longer worry about that factor in his plans. |
| 437 | * Given the nature of their business, it was only natural that they would take on a number of bounty hunters over the years. Usually they are after Mal for smuggling, but River's head has an even high price tag. It's just that she's a much more difficult target to capture: |
| 438 | ** As the head of {{Bounty Hunter}}s everywhere, Boba Fett is responsible for managing the various attempts on the ''Serenity''. After various failures on their part, Boba has decided to take up the bounty himself to receive the glory of detaining the elusive smugglers. |
| 439 | ** The crew wishes they have Lobo as the god of {{Bounty Hunter}}s. The Czarnian may have been impossible for them to defeat, but Mal was able to bribe him out of their bounty. Afterwards, Lobo allowed them to continue their business. Besides, the alien has taken a liking to the crew. He thinks that River his a natural badass with a future ahead of her and even checked out Jayne's arsenal to see if there's anything of interest. |
| 440 | ** Miss Fortune's specialty is piracy, but that didn't mean she wouldn't dabble in that of the space-faring kind. After a couple of skirmishes, she considered him to be less bloodthirsty than most and abandoned the bounty for now, though she does appear now and then to keep the peace. |
| 441 | * Mal couldn't help but feel like he would have gotten along with the crew of Rogue One, the unlikely crew that went on a SuicideMission to send the notes on the Death Star to the Rebel Alliance. In fact, Mal stated that they were a lot like the crew of the ''Serenity''... if they were run more incompetently run and all died in the process. Jyn viciously shot back, stating his last big plan led to the deaths of some of his crew-mates as well. It's safe to say that the two protagonists aren't too keen on making amends with each other. At least the other crew members were willing to bury the hatchet over the two hot-heads. |
| 442 | * Exclusive to Mal: |
| 443 | ** Has fallen into hot water with the subhouse of Lust. They didn't take to kindly with his remarks on Inara's [[TheOldestProfession profession]]. As such, he receives the cold shoulder whenever he arrives there. |
| 444 | ** One of the odder relationships among the gods has been with Scott Summers. The God of Eye Beams can't help but be reminded of his father whenever the two meet. It helps that the two of them became space pirates. |
| 445 | ** When there was a case involving some missing merchandise, Mal ordered his crew to find a detective who could find some clues. Jayne came back with a man with a bag over his head. When the bag was removed it turned out to be Richard Castle, God of {{Mystery Writer Detective}}s. Despite the distressing introduction and the fact that [[Creator/NathanFillion the two looked eerily similar]], Richard agreed to help them out... on the condition that he gets to write a story about the adventure. Once the items were found (and Jayne was given a tongue lashing), Richard waved them off. The subsequent book made him a decent amount of money, part of which was given to Mal. |
| 446 | * Exclusive to River: |
| 447 | ** Prior to moving in with Mal, River was the only other member of the ''Serenity'' who had ascended on her own. This is due to her memorable defense of her crew members against the Reavers. It's also due to her ability to [[WaifFu improbably dispatch large swaths of enemies despite being 90 lbs soaking wet.]] That and she can totally kill you with just her ''mind!'' She is by far one of the most popular {{Action Girl}}s in the Pantheon. |
| 448 | ** '''Will attack any mad scientists on sight.''' Anyone foolish enough to be in her way will wish they were treated more humanely than the Reapers in Serenity. Dr. Wily and Ryoma are at the top of her hate list. That also includes people such as Arael and Johan Liebert, though she's more cautious with the later. Delving into his mind alone is enough to give her shivers. |
| 449 | ** Is noted to almost never wear shoes. Her symbol is a constant reminder of that to her followers. Most theorize that shoes remind her of the tortures she endured during her experiments at the Academy. |
| 450 | * Exclusive to Simon: |
| 451 | ** It was a jubilant scene for River when the two siblings met each other for the first time in years. The two have been together ever since he helped her escape a government facility. He even vouched for the two when Mal threatened to kick them out. He has since stuck around in order to protect his sister. [[spoiler: Which ended with his death]]. |
| 452 | ** The resident healer of the ''Serenity'', Simon is polite to every person he meets... almost to a fault. It did him no favors towards Mal who felt his politeness to be off-putting. In fact, all of his teammates treat him with a bit of disdain except for Walsh and Kaylee. As for her, the two promptly proclaimed their love for each other. |
| 453 | * Exclusive to Zoe: |
| 454 | ** As the saying goes, for every man there's a woman working from behind. Or in this case, she's the StraightMan to counter the more chaotic aspects of Mal. As such, she is seen as the voice of reason. |
| 455 | ** Like Mal, she has a military background, an aspect that was more difficult for her to shut down. To this day, she has to catch herself from calling Mal "Sir". At least that helped quell down those who tried to ship the two. Regardless, her demeanor has deem her TheReliableOne of the crew. |
| 456 | * Exclusive to Wash: |
| 457 | ** When the crew of the ''Serenity'' was asked who would be considered TheConscience of the show, everyone pointed to Wash, the pilot of the crew. He is by far the nicest resident of the ship and has a [[PluckyComicRelief playful side in him]]. Yet there is no one who can stay calm under pressure as this man. |
| 458 | ** It makes it all the more unusual that he and Zoe became a couple. |
| 459 | * Exclusive to Inara: |
| 460 | ** Inara is a Companion licensed by the Alliance, helping clients seeking sexual and psychological healing. Her work is well regarded in the House of Love and she is welcome within the House for as long as she likes. She even has her own unofficial temple within the area. She hopes that more of her ilk make their way into the Pantheon. |
| 461 | ** A Buddhist at heart, she makes sure to bring such items along with her at all times. Sadly, she was unable to find any other of her faith in the Pantheon. Still, she hopes that Confucius himself may make his presence known here one day. |
| 462 | * Exclusive to Jayne: |
| 463 | ** The weapon's expert of the crew, he keeps a wide assortment of guns and knives in the ship, a stash so large he needed a ''separate room'' just to keep it all. It was so massive, he gained a large enough following to be considered ascension on his own, namely for his habit of naming his weapons. [[ICallItVera His favorite in particular is Vera]]. Alas, he was too lazy to follow through with things and waited until Mal decided to ascend the entire crew. |
| 464 | ** Out of everyone, Jayne's loyalty is by far the most fragile. This is on account on the fact that he is almost entirely [[OnlyInItForTheMoney motivated by money]]. He has betrayed Mal on a few occasions on the whim of making more money for it. And yet he keeps coming back when it counts. He may not admit it, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but he sure has a way to show his affections to his teammates.]] |
| 465 | * Exclusive to Kaylee: |
| 466 | ** Made her debut in spectacular fashion: solving a critical engine problem in mid coitus! She became the new engineer ever since. She was even considered the position of WrenchWench, eventually losing out to Winry. When Kaylee herself ascended later on, the two became fast friends. Kaylee loves to talk about her ship and she couldn't think of a better person to talk to her than Winry. |
| 467 | ** As stated above, she has a rather [[EthicalSlut colorful view of sex]]. She is perfectly happy to have such a conversation with someone in that regard. With that said, her heart is taken for Simon. With his returned, the two committed to sticking together. |
| 468 | * Exclusive to Book: |
| 469 | ** The one who spends the least time on the ship, Book is content to explore the Pantheon to experience new worlds. He sees a lot of good in the Pantheon, more so than in his own world. He wishes that no one else will have to experience the horrors he and Mal faced during their service in the military. |
| 470 | * Can also be found in the subhouse of Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} |

| 489 | * Stomped Edward Cullen’s face, blaming him for the Darkfall Books that were the equivalent to Twilight in his universe. |
| 490 | * Has been trolled by Izaya Orihara after Izaya pinned the words “Distressed Dude” on the back of Kevin’s shirt. Kevin has since tried to run over him with his car on sight. He's still looking for Izaya Orihara with help from Shizuo Heiwajima. |
| 491 | * Makes fun of Sasuke Uchiha for sounding like Ben and calling him the “Emoest of them all.” |
| 492 | * Looks up to Guts for being such a major badass, and sympathizes with his quest for revenge. Wants to hear Kevin's when there's some downtime. |
| 493 | * Empathizes with Gwen's rival Charmcaster, who is second only to him in his own universe when it comes to the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. |
| 494 | * Has a mechanics shop in the House of Technology, but his car has constantly been crushed again...and again. It's become such a betting game in the House of Commerce as to when he'll start screaming out, "MY RIDE!!" |
| 495 | * Gets along well with Cyborg, often asks him to upgrade his ride but wonders why he laughs whenever [[Creator/GregCipes Kevin]] calls him [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans “Dude”]]. |
| 496 | ** And there's even more confusion since he sounds similar to one [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 version]] of Michaelangelo. |

| 498 | * Has been seen in the House of Food eating Flean cake with [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Mulder and Scully]]. |
| 499 | * Upon learning that Kyubey offered Gwen a contract to become a Magical Girl, he ran over him with his car. Homura approved of this. |
| 500 | * Often visits the House of Travel to look at the CoolCars. Once again, his car can usually been seen smashed into smithereens. |
| 501 | * Has been approached by Deathstroke with an apprenticeship offer. Flat out refused and was able to hold him off until Gwen shot a shard of mana through Slade’s empty eyesocket. Deathstroke has sworn revenge on them for reminding him of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans those two brats.]] |
| 502 | * Was interested to say the least when he saw Inigo Montoya in the Pantheon. He doesn't admit it, but he actually grew up reading the Princess Bride and even got to [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat say Inigo's most famous phrase]]. It helps that they've both defeated the men who killed their fathers. |
| 503 | * Nearly had a fanboy moment when he found Andre the Giant was in the House of Combat, as Andre played Fezzik in the movie. He denies that he wanted Andre's autograph. |
| 504 | * His EnergyAbsorption powers make him super dangerous. One, he can absorb powers of Greater Gods and bring them back. Two, he himself can become downright insane with the absorption, and if not taken down quickly, he'll start going on more and more of a rampage. |
| 505 | * After his dealings with the Rooters, Kevin has begrudgingly admitted he might just empathize somewhat with ComicBook/TheJoker, as he now has no idea just what the heck his own origin story truly is. |

| 521 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/{{Students}} Libby Chessler]] |
| 522 | * Just as broken clocks are capable of telling the time twice a day, Drakken actually managed to devise a plan that nearly worked. Buying out a taco chain, he dished out thousands of toys to various Houses, little did they know that they could transform into giant killer robots. It was the intervention of a red-headed heroine that managed to destroy the control tower that deactivated the machines. |
| 523 | * It was then that the gods decided to hand her PomPomGirl title…only to be challenged by Juliet Starling. The gods decided to put the two to the test to see which one had the acrobatics to deserve the title. Just as a winner was about to be announced, one particular cheerleader denounced the contest; Libby declared neither of them fit the title because they do not match common cheerleader traits of shallow ruthless {{Alpha Bitch}}es that ReallyGetAround. The Court of the Gods agreed with the ruling, but thanks to Buffy Summers and Claire Bennet, compensated by giving the two other titles. Juliet would get the [[BuffySpeak Teenaged Speak]] title. |
| 524 | * When she was denied the cheerleader spot, she was met with a surprising ally. Although wary of cheerleaders in general, Sabrina would have preferred her to whatever Libby and her posse would choose for the title. Afterwards, she, Sabrina, and Juliet egged Libby's temple in a fit of revenge. |
| 525 | * As one of her inspirations, she holds Buffy to high regard. The two teenager gods may have different professions, but the similarities cannot be denied. Expect these two to work together whenever super villains are using vampires to take over the world. |
| 526 | * As someone who had to deal with school as well as crime-fighting when he was younger, Spider-Man has tasked himself with helping Kim deal with stress. He has had far less luck with Ron, who has a debilitating fear of bugs. A shame, as many gods thought the two would have been great friends. |
| 527 | * Many evil gods made the mistake that a teenaged girl would be no problem to crush. Jack Spicer thought his army of Jackbots would be enough. The fight lasted [[CurbStompBattle two minutes.]] |
| 528 | * There are many other villainous gods that are competing with Drakken for Kim's hate list. Among them is the Baroness and Destro, as the couple have proven to be a tougher nut to crack than she previously anticipated. |
| 529 | * There was one time where Ron was much more competent in fighting crime than usual. When Kim confronted him on this, he attacked her. At first she thought he had turned evil again, but as the fight continued on, 'Ron' revealed himself to be the shapeshifter Mystique. When the assassin found out she couldn't defeat Kim that easily, she backed away. Kim's now employing countermeasures against future breaches. |
| 530 | * However, no villain has pestered her more than Katarina, Goddess of Dark Action Girls. It's to a point that Kim can expect an ambush from the Sinister Blade whenever she's in a mission. Thankfully, she's been able to fend her off with a few close shaves. She suspects that Katarina is doing this for her mortal enemy Shego. It may only be a matter of time before Kat figures out a way to ascend her. |
| 531 | * It didn't take long, but Shego gave her a rude awakening with a punch to the face. Shego's back, and Kim how has to deal with one of her most dangerous foes in the Pantheon as well. |
| 532 | * While her source of intel Wade has been reliable, she had to get a new one in the Pantheon. That role went squarely on Otacon. He fits the role perfectly to the point that he and Ron constantly discuss anime. Kim merely shakes her head at their antics. |
| 533 | * Was quickly greeted by the God of Spies himself. It takes a lot to impress James Bond, but saving the world multiple times when only a teenager can sure do the trick. Thankfully, he's refrained from putting the moves on her, respecting her relationship with Ron. That doesn't stop the sidekick from feeling jealous whenever he's around. |
| 534 | * Things were made worse when he ascended, making sure to keep close to Kim at all times. Still, she's glad that he has his own temple now. |
| 535 | * Kim really, ''really'' hates people who exploit love and affection for [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] or [[{{Sadist}} sadistic ploy]], having been a victim of one herself when Drakken sent a [[RoboticPsychopath highly sociopathic]] [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots synthodrone]] in the form of a BigManOnCampus to [[FalseSoulmate win her heart]] and [[DomesticAbuse gaslight her]] during the [[WesternAnimation/KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama Diablo Toy scheme]]. [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Prince Hans]], [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship Penelope Mouse]], and [[Pantheon/DeathArchetypes Dahlia Hawthorne]] all disgust Kim, and she's proclaimed them to be among [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil the worst villains imaginable]]. |
| 536 | * Was greeted along with her fellow original Disney cartoon gods as a well-deserved addition. Their numbers have been small compared to the Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network deities. They hope to remedy that problem soon enough with future ascensions. |

| 564 | * Herald: Priest Guntank |
| 565 | * High Priest: Wizard Nu |
| 566 | * Arrived at the Pantheon in a ball of light immediately after the events of ''[[VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3]]'', [[spoiler:having fulfilled his goal of uniting humanity]]. His arrival was spotty, to say the least. He was immediately confronted by the 501st and 3 legions of the Imperial Guard, under the impression that he was an attacker. Knight Gundam, for his part, put his weapons down and stayed exactly where he was to show his peaceful ambitions. |
| 567 | ** After careful inspection, he was granted ascension in honor of all he had done before his arrival to the Pantheon. |
| 568 | * After seeing how everyone treated Madoka, he naturally assumed that she was the queen, and pledged his undying loyalty to her on his honor as a knight. |
| 569 | ** Upon finding out this was not the case, he still stood by his words, saying he had only given that pledge once before, and that he had stood by it. |
| 570 | ** Many are afraid of what would happen if she were hurt or even killed when he was unable to help her. |
| 571 | * He rarely uses his magic in battle, [[GodzillaThreshold but when he does, beware]]. He has a confirmed control of fire and lightning, and it is unsure if he also has control of air and earth.[[note]]The first one can be attributed to an AbsurdlySharpBlade, while the latter may simply be an attack with "normal" magic.[[/note]] |
| 572 | * He has a spot in the GUAG Sacred Knights, since he is the pinnacle of what at least a few knights are trying to reach: unwavering bravery, great power, the ability to continue getting up no matter what, and the willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of peace. |
| 573 | ** Also granted a spot in the GUAG Gundam Corps, because as one unfortunate {{mook}} [[RunningGag had]] [[MemeticMutation put it]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing IT'S A GUNDAAAM]]! |
| 574 | * Was enraged once he learned Beerus' "job" and nearly went on a rampage to destroy him. He calmed down significantly when he was eventually convinced that he didn't stand a chance against him. Afterwards, the two had a heated conversation about the morals of destroying a planet. After this, they got along fine. |
| 575 | * Understood [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Homura's]] reasoning for what she did [[spoiler:during the Great Upheaval]] and has joined Master Chief's defense of her. |
| 576 | * Has struck up an odd friendship with Alucard, due to their commonality in meeting one of their greatest allies (who just happened to be [[DamselInDistress women in trouble]]) during a "[[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged vigorous walk through the woods]]." |
| 577 | * Has made very good friends with Jeanne d'Arc and Centorea, as they are all knights with strict codes of honor. |
| 578 | * After learning Asura's backstory, he approached Asura and drew his sword for no apparent reason. He then held it at chest level with the sword at the middle of his body, swinging it off to one side. He then sheathed it and walked away. Absolutely baffled, Asura asked Jeanne what had happened. As it turned out, it was a knight's salute, one of the highest honors a knight can give. |
| 579 | * Has two different sizes: a "standard" 6-foot-tall height (his SD size) and a 20-meter height (his Mobile Suit height). He prefers his 6-foot-tall height for obvious reasons. |
| 580 | ** Can only emote in his SD form, and only through his eyes. In his MS form, it is [[TheStoic nigh impossible]] to tell his emotions. |
| 581 | * Several who have seen him fight say that he seems like he is under the effect of a [[{{Determinator}} permanent second wind]]. |
| 582 | * A few people hope that he and [[Pantheon/HeroicAchievementsAndLosses Saitama]] never face in battle, due to the resultant UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject paradox[[note]]Saitama and Knight Gundam, respectfully[[/note]]. |
| 583 | * Has offered to help [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Setsuna F. Seiei]] with killing [[Pantheon/ActsOfHatred Rau Le Creuset]] |
| 584 | * His temple looks like a Christian church, complete with pews, a papal, and an organ. |
| 585 | * Some HotBlooded characters were initially unsure what to think of him, since he is a hot-blooded ''robot'', but they eventually got used to him. |
| 586 | * Upon meeting [[Pantheon/{{Continuities}} Sei Iori]], the latter literally passed out due to excitement. |
| 587 | * He became depressed when he learned from [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Trunks]] that he only got humanity to work together in the timeline that he created, and that he had created shattered timelines through what he had done, causing more harm than good. He's come to grips with it, though. |
| 588 | ** This was further compounded when Clockwork had heard about what he'd done, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech giving the Gundam a lecture about it]], but relented that the cause was noble. |
| 589 | * Due to being sentient, does not have to worry about being [[GrandTheftPrototype stolen by]] [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Anavel Gato]]. However, when they're in the same general area, the Knight Gundam will almost always be in his SD form unless they're fighting. |
| 590 | * Lately, it seems that he and [[Pantheon/NamingTheme Zero]] sound similar to each other when they speak English. |
| 591 | * Also, when he and the Fresh Pretty Cures ran into each other, they were suspicious of him at first due to him [[Creator/YasunoriMatsumoto sounding like Westar]]. After he'd told them about his heroic deeds, they were touched by his heroism and have worked together as allies since then. |
| 592 | ** He is also good friends with the Elric brothers and Colonel Mustang due to the fact that [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003 Jean Havoc]], a friend of those three, sounded like him at one point. |
| 593 | * When asked who he would like to [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle fight if given the chance]], he recalled something he'd read in the Pantheon's (large) library about a sword-wielding mecha called Escaflowne. |
| 594 | * Openly threatening someone in front of him is a [[TranquilFury bad]] [[{{Understatement}} idea]], but threatening someone that he likes and has made a point to help (especially children) is tied with making Asura angry on the list of dumb things to do, as [REDACTED] of the Trollkaiger found out the hard way. |
| 595 | -->'''Knight Gundam''': [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness I WILL]] '''FUCKING''' [[BloodKnight MURDER YOU]]!!! |
| 596 | * Has gained infamy among the House of Gaming as being one of the hardest final bosses ever. In most games, the [[FinalBoss final boss]] could be defeated in a few tries, but in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3, even the best among them took a minimum of ''[[ThatOneBoss fifteen tries]]'' to beat. |
| 597 | * Often found sparring with others in the Arena. He forged a friendship with Pantheon this way due to their commonality in preferring to engage in honorable close combat. |
| 598 | * There have been rumors of him secretly hiding a set of centaur legs under his cloak due to events [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters in a different world]]. This was quickly disproved by him, but several people in the House of Pantheon/MachineryAndTechnology built him a Centaur pack to wear on his back. |
| 599 | * When holding Aghanim's Scepter, he is able to be in his Full Armor mode indefinitely, and does need the magic tablet to trigger it. |

| 621 | * Wary of: The Arilou, [[Pantheon/AirBasedTravel Galaxy Man]] (one-sided on his part) |
| 622 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Mr Satan]] |
| 623 | * Russell Casse was a Vietnam vet who used to be a military pilot, later becoming a crop duster. Because of a traumatic AlienAbduction in his past [[TheAlcoholic he took to the bottle]] and his UFO story was seen as delusional gibberish. Little did anyone know aliens would prove they existed in 1996, and [[CassandraTruth though disbelieved at first]] Casse was right in believing [[AlienInvasion they weren't friendly]]. [[KillAllHumans When it became clear how unfriendly they were]], he found himself a time and a place to be hero. Russell Casse would save the president and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself for the greater good]], [[RammingAlwaysWorks by crashing directly into the Mothership's main weapon]]. [[ScrapHeapHero For someone disrespected by family and neighbors and seen as a lunatic]], [[RedemptionEqualsDeath that's a major turn-around]]. |
| 624 | * He was [[{{Understatement}} fairly]] livid at the Harvesters being in the Trope Pantheon, and the fact [[ButForMeItWasTuesday they saw him as more of a nuisance]] despite his accomplishment didn't help much. However his ascension was joined by a strong ally and opponent of the Harvesters; President Thomas J. Whitmore himself. He revealed to Russell that [[FamedInStory his name is ingrained in the new Washington monument]] and [[HeroicSacrifice he took after what he did himself]] [[Film/IndependenceDayResurgence 20 years later]]. After a presidential handshake and award Whitmore introduced the pilot to Team Dai-Gurren, who's grouping gave him the opportunity [[RousingSpeech to find a position]] in the Trope Pantheon. After getting to know them, Russell Casse applauded their courage. Out of the group he and Kamina get along the best because both had an inspiring HeroicSacrifice and Kamina's incredibly HotBlooded personality appeals to Russell the most. |
| 625 | * One of the things Whitmore revealed to Russell Casse was the key to their victory; a computer virus derived from a Harvester spaceship that crashed [[RoswellThatEndsWell in Roswell, 1947]]. In the Trope Pantheon multiple deities have been linked to the incident. One of them was Roger, who he really doesn't like or trust because [[ComedicSociopathy his humor is highly amoral]] and he's prone to violent DisproportionateRetribution; Russell thinks he'll try to probe him, but the alien isn't interested. While he doesn't hate Beheeyem in the same manner he doesn't trust the Pokemon due to being able to manipulate mind and memories for their purposes with moves like the Simple Beam, [[AliensStealCattle and taking Wooloo]]. There was a Roswell alien he got along with though, and strangely enough it was Zoidberg. The Decapodian is the lovable loser type who can sympathize with the prior disgrace Russell suffered, after all. |
| 626 | * The time he spent with Zoidberg eventually caught Fry's attention, and the two soon got along well. Despite being somewhat of a ButtMonkey [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass he's had a lot of cool moments]], one of the most important being foiling the Brainspawn [[TheChosenZero with his special but inferior brain]]. He invited the pilot to the Planet Express ship to marvel at it. After talking with Fry Russell also learned that his RobotBuddy Bender was the "spaceship" who crashed in 1947, and sometimes the two will get together at a bar...he's just getting a non-alcoholic drink, however, since he wants to avoid falling back into [[TheAlcoholic alcoholism]]. |
| 627 | * Tony Stark was decently impressed by his heroism and how he pulled himself out of the proverbial gutter, and bonded over his own struggles with alcoholism. He thinks Russell should stay out of the bar to avoid relapsing, which Russell considers fair but has turned down the request as he wants to help out other alcoholics. He's been trying to encourage fellow barfly Barney Gumble to overcome his addiction to drink, and Captain Haddock as well; [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy he's a lot less effective when intoxicated]]. |
| 628 | * It isn't known if the Harvesters were the same alien who abducted him or not, however the experience and their later invasion has caused Russell Casse to distrust extraterrestrials. That's not to say he won't make exceptions; despite having a reputation of being annoying he gets along surprisingly well with Jar Jar Binks since he's had his own "loser turned unlikely hero" arc, plus E.T is adorable and kind-hearted enough that he lets him play with his kids. He doesn't trust the Men in Black or the SCP Foundation either, though this might come from frustration on their secrecy and how it relates to [[CassandraTruth nobody believing him]]. He's less paranoid about Galaxy Man since he realizes he's only based on a UFO, but he's still a UFO-based robot. |
| 629 | * Not the biggest fanboy of Captain America, but a fanboy nonetheless. Meeting him in the pantheon was a real highlight, and so was meeting a bunch of [[PatrioticFervor America-loving]] heroes [[AmericaSavesTheDay who save the day]] like Broforce and Team America. Russell was happy to meet Mr Satan as well, but this is more about respecting the man than being a fanboy; Mr Satan went from a FakeUltimateHero played straight [[CharacterDevelopment to gaining the heart of a hero]] and genuinely saving the world-it reminds Russell of his own growth and redemption, minus dying of course. |
| 630 | * As he served in the Vietnam War, he and Seymour Skinner have a relatively cordial relationship. The principal thinks he's a loose canon and Russell thinks he's a square, but they hold a mutual respect for each other's military record. And while Russell isn't the brightest of folks, he has a good heart and knows [[EveryoneHasStandards when things are too reckless for their own good]]. Despite also serving in the Vietnam War he and John Kreese don't get along since the latter's an abusive and ruthless martial arts mentor. And he ''hates'' Zapp Brannigan for his LackOfEmpathy towards troops [[WeHaveReserves through the meatgrinder]] [[DirtyCoward while lacking the stones to get even close to said grinder]]. Given [[TheSociopath what Zapp really is]] he just thinks Russell's insubordinate. |
| 631 | * He's annoyed by [[LeeroyJenkins the recklessness of]] Leeroy Jenkins, who was upset as he thought they'd be good friends. Russell Casse really doesn't care for Captain Qwark either [[MilesGloriosus due to being a cowardly "hero"]], though [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk unlike Zapp]] [[TookALevelInKindness he has grown a heart]]. Also, while he thinks what the Alliance of Free Stars are a good thing he distrusts the flying saucer-using Arilou as they're akin to TheGreys and are rumored to abduct farm animals or the lone human. Their defense was at worst those abductions were caused by bad apples and don't represent the species as a whole. |
| 632 | * He's a good dad, [[BumblingDad if a bumbling one]] and was overjoyed to see his son came to respect him when he helped save the day; he just wishes he could still be around for him. Like any good dad he hates [[AbusiveParents abusive parents]], [[AlcoholicParent especially if they use alcoholism as an excuse]]. Despite this he can begrudgingly get along with Homer as ''how'' much of a {{Jerkass}} dad he is depending on the writer, and he normally at least tries. Homer's had experience with an alien encounter met with disbelief[[note]]technically [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} it was Mr Burns]] but still[[/note]] so he sympathizes with the CassandraTruth Russell Casse dealt with. And after dealing with [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Peter Griffin]], he's tried to behave more in the pantheon. |
| 633 | ** Feels bad for [[Pantheon/CulturalValues Hank Hill]] due to how much of a dick his veteran father is. While his feelings towards Cotton Hill are complicated, Hank doesn't feel Russell needs to be concerned. |

| 670 | * On August 1, 1999, seven kids in summer camp went on the journey of a lifetime when they found themselves thrust into a strange world inhabited by creatures called Digimon. The kids befriended seven of them and searched for a way to return home. They discovered that the reason they were there was that they had a destiny to fulfill, which was to save the Digital World from the powers of darkness. As their adventure continued, their world was endangered by those same powers, and the team acquired an eighth member and Digimon. After facing many more enemies and some instances of the team splitting up, the gang faced their final foe with all they had and were allowed to return home for good, albeit leaving their Digimon behind. But it wouldn't be the last time they'd see each other. |
| 671 | * Months later in 2000, they had to stop Diaboromon from causing chaos on the web. With things escalating to the point Diaboromon was about to launch a nuke, [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] fused into Omegamon and dispatched the multiplying Digimon. Then in 2002, the gang, stripped of their Crests, had to take the back seat and mentor a new batch of [=DigiDestined=] (though TK and Kari were still able to join them). They were put in the frontlines again in 2005, joined by the new [=DigiDestined=] Mei and her partner Meicoomon as they unveiled the mystery behind a virus that caused Digimon to go berserk. When they succeeded in saving both worlds again, the Pantheon decided it was high time they were given a spot in the Pantheon to celebrate their deeds. |
| 672 | * Their arrival had good timing as a conflict between the White Hats and the GUAM was raging on. XANA's ability to possess living beings had evolved to the point where it could now take over creatures from ''Pantheon/MonsterHunter'', which were then sent to wreak havoc in several universes, and the White Hats were having trouble responding to them. But the [=DigiDestined=] were used to adventuring in strange worlds and their Digimon were up to the task of subduing the monsters, which most found impressive, especially XANA's archenemies, the Lyoko Warriors. After this feat, and given their established responsibilities as the [=DigiDestined=], they often work with the White Hats to protect both the organic and the digital realms from those who'd seek to do harm to either of them, of which the GUAM is a prime example given their goal is to replace organic life, which is not unlike some of the enemies the [=DigiDestined=] have faced in the past. |
| 673 | * Once things settled down, the [=DigiDestined=] went around the Pantheon to greet the other ''Digimon'' deities already present, starting with their 2002 successors, who'd ironically gotten in before them as they weren't as busy (to say the least) at the time. The original eight were rather anxious to ascertain that they were alright after their bad experience with Alphamon. The 02 [=DigiDestined=] just told them not to worry and that they'd been training hard in the Pantheon to make sure they're not burdens to their seniors. They also congratulated the whole team on achieving Mega level and told TK and Kari not to hold back as Yolei and Cody could fend for themselves. |
| 674 | ** Were surprised at the presence of another Omegamon in the Pantheon, and nervous when they learned it was a Royal Knights member, who they haven't had the best relationship with. However TRON interceded in Omegamon's favor, explaining how the Royal Knights had been protecting him from CLU for a long time. The 02 [=DigiDestined=] also put in that Omegamon had helped them a lot when they'd first arrived. This put the eight's fears to rest, although this only really extends to Omegamon and Dukemon, with them still being cautious around the rest of the Royal Knights. |
| 675 | ** Abhor the deification of their old enemies Millenniumon and Diaboromon, though were surprised that the former seems to be relatively chill compared to how it was. Of course, part of this is that Millenniumon somehow found a partner in the kooky hacker Radical Ed and it doesn't really resent the arrangement. Though definitely finding the partnership odd, the eight won't protest since without it Millenniumon would probably the worst possible threat they could contend with. So they focus their attention on the more immediately dangerous Diaboromon, who's been visiting Teseo of the Seven an awful lot... |
| 676 | ** They at first believed Lucemon was good given his angelic appearance and the fact that their universe has a fairly rigid dichotomy of good light and bad darkness. Lucemon approached them affecting to be friendly, only to get shot by Beelzemon, whom the eight turned on thinking he was ObviouslyEvil. At that point the Royal Knights intervened and explained to the eight that Lucemon actually was one of the worst villains to ever come out of their multiverse, while Beelzemon was alright, despite appearances. The eight then apologized to Beelzemon, though he just left without a word. Nonetheless, they are friendly to him whenever they cross paths, especially Kari who often takes the initiative to go find him. |
| 677 | * Because their Digivices and Crests are activated by emotions, the [=DigiDestined=] have become acquainted to the various Lantern Corps from the DC Universe: |
| 678 | ** To the suprise of no one, Tai became good friends with Hal Jordan, finding they are similarly brave and determined. Hal sees much of himself in the boy and even thinks Tai would be worthy of a Green Lantern ring. Unfortunately, this brought some unwanted attention from Sinestro, who hates Tai for reminding him of Hal, and Parallax, who thinks that breaking Taichi's will would be very satisfying. Since then, Hal has done everything he can to keep Taichi safe. |
| 679 | ** Sora was initially creeped out when she learned that the Star Sapphire Corps encase their recruits inside crystals so they can feel nothing but love, but she is glad that Carol Ferris is at least trying to improve things. She also genuinely hopes she can fix her relationship with Hal; at the same time, Carol wishes her the best for relationship with Matt. |
| 680 | ** T.K. admires Saint Walker for embodying the virtue of hope and constantly inspiring others to always believe in hope, even in the harshest of times. Walker, in turn, sees much of himself in the boy and has promised to keep him safe. Unfortunately, this brought some unwanted attention from Atrocitus, who took notice of T.K.'s hidden dark side and believes he could corrupt him with a Red Lantern ring. TK has done his best to keep away from the Red Lantern, especially after seeing him fight Seraphimon to a draw. He does at least feel sorry that Atrocitus lost his family to the Manhunters but that as much sympathy as he is willing to give him. |
| 681 | ** Kari feels strange whenever she gets close to the Life Entity, reminding her of Homeostasis, the strange digital entity that took possession of her body. Although she and the other [=DigiDestined=] respect the Life Entity's dedication to maintain the balance of life, they were disappointed to learn that the Entity only cared about cosmic balance and was willing to use the living as pawns to further its plans. Unfortunately for the [=DigiDestined=], Nekron developed an extreme hatred for Kari, thinking her affinity to light might ruin his plans. Kari is completely terrified of Nekron, even having flashbacks of the Dark Ocean whenever she sees him, forcing the [=DigiDestined=] to cooperate with the Life Entity to keep her safe. |
| 682 | ** The [=DigiDestined=] got into some trouble with Larfleeze, who wanted to collect their Digivices and Crests, especially Taichi's for being orange, but considering the huge amount of enemies they have garnered in the Pantheon, they know Larfleeze is the least of their problems. |
| 683 | * August 1 is celebrated by them as the Odaiba Memorial Day, Odaiba being where most of the [=DigiDestined=] live. It's also widely celebrated in the Pantheon with the alternate name of Digimon Day, extending into August 3 (that being the end date of their adventure), with such things as a marathon of all the ''Digimon'' anime and movies happening at the House of Theater, and all the Digimon deities receiving gifts from the House of Celebration. |
| 684 | * Whether some like it or not, Matt and Sora are pursuing their romance even in the Pantheon. Some deities wonder why Sora wouldn't go for Tai, thinking they'd be a better match. Other deities, mostly from the House of Love, counter that there's no sense in asking why and what's important is that Matt and Sora are happy together. The couple themselves pay no attention to the whole debate and Tai wishes them the best. |
| 685 | * Deities wasted no time in contriving a meeting between the [=DigiDestined=] and Ash Ketchum, given the many comparisons between their two universes. Wiz and Boomstick have also theorized that [=WarGreymon=] would trounce Charizard in a fight and they were eager to see if it would be proven now that they're in the same plane of existence. The fact is, the [=DigiDestined=] can't really wrap their heads around the idea of mons fighting for sport, since all the times they had to fight, it was for their lives. They've also seen how destructive Digimon can be and the bad rep they get from it. Ash doesn't fully get it and thinks a friendly match wouldn't do any harm, but has decided to respect the [=DigiDestined's=] wishes. Whenever they meet, it's to hang out peacefully, and their Digimon like to play with Ash's Pokémon. |
| 686 | * Then there was Red, who was the opponent Tai was pitted against in Wiz and Boomstick's simulation. Red unfortunately has been brainwashed by Missingno. into believing the duel really did happen and that he was incinerated by Tai and [=WarGreymon=]. Upon hearing that Tai got into the Pantheon at last, PTSD kicked in and Red nearly attacked Tai (no mons involved) but was held back by the rest of the [=DigiDestined=]. They demanded an explanation from Wiz and Boomstick, who told them about Missingno., and given the glitch's nature the [=DigiDestined=] easily went and beat the crap out of it. Unfortunately that by itself wasn't enough to snap Red out of it and the [=DigiDestined=] are looking for a way to do so. |
| 687 | * Hearing the crimes that organizations like Team Rocket and many others committed against Pokémon really struck a chord in the [=DigiDestined=] as they imagined how they'd react if Digimon got targeted in such a way (something that's never really happened in their universe as the Digimon's existence was unknown). Unfortunately it's already happened to the 02 [=DigiDestined=] as Team Rocket tried to steal V-mon, so the original eight are extra vigilant, though the Digimon themselves are quite confident they could kick those teams' collective butts without breaking a sweat. |
| 688 | * Among the other types of mons they've met in the Pantheon, it's the demons of ''Pantheon/ShinMegamiTensei'' that they find the most striking. For one thing, Digimon also tend to be based on mythology and folklore, and for another, the heroes of that universe use computer technology to summon them. On the other hand, the relationships between those heroes and demons also tend to be a lot more dangerous, and the [=DigiDestined=] were appalled at how they treated each other and there seemed to be very little in the way of genuine friendship. But then, the SMT universe runs on dog-eat-dog logic much more than the Digimon one, a fact that became clear to the [=DigiDestined=] once they were told about the GUAL and the GUAC and who leads them. While the [=DigiDestined=] accept the differences, they also think the SMT universe would be a better place for both humans and demons without those two around, so they've pledged to help take the Overdeities of Chaos and Law down. |
| 689 | * While helping TRON in a battle against the MCP and Sark, they met and fought alongside his friend Sora, who felt awed at all the Digimon in action. After defeating the evil programs they acknowledged each other as warriors that fight for the light (though the eight think Sora gets awfully abstract about it sometimes) and who saved multiple worlds, so they've pledged to help each other out in the future. |
| 690 | * One time, Sora asked them to fight Chernabog, as he had overpowered all the benevolent dark deities keeping him in check, and Sora thought it was appropriate to fight giant monsters with giant monsters. The [=DigiDestined=] couldn't help but be reminded of their confrontations with Devimon and [=VenomMyotismon=] while fighting the evil god. As he is the top god of evil darkness which the eight oppose, they have no objections to beating him down again and again. |
| 691 | * One digital villain they find particularly vile is Agent Smith, due to his goal of destroying all of existence and being motivated by self-hatred. All this reminds them of Apocalymon, the final enemy in their first adventure, who pretty much wanted the same thing for the same reason. Just like with Apocalymon, the eight think Smith is pathetic and that he has no right to drag everyone else down with him. |
| 692 | * Given their title, they are paid respects by several deities who've had to save two (or more) worlds as part of their quest. It's a common goal among Precures and Tales teams, for example. |
| 693 | * Tai and Kari were once questioned as to what their relation to Light Yagami was. They've heard of no one with that name in their family tree. When told about him they were shocked to learn about his actions of killing criminals to create a world where he's revered as a god upholding an absolutist law. Needless to say, they want nothing to do with him. |
| 694 | * Hot-headed and impulsive, Tai is nevertheless in possession of charisma and drive that caused the others to follow him as their leader on instinct, to the point that when he disappeared for a time, the rest of the [=DigiDestined=] disbanded. He often confused recklessness for courage and at times put everyone in danger because of it, but eventually learned to discern when he had to be cautious from when action had to be taken. |
| 695 | ** Bearing the Crest of Courage, Tai has a lot of affinity with the deities of the House of Pantheon/CourageAndVirtue, especially Guy Shishioh, who rules over bravery in general and thinks Tai is a fine example of what it means to have courage. Through Guy he also formed an unlikely friendship with a talking bunny called Ruby, the Jewelpet of Courage. Guy hopes that Ruby can learn from Tai that there's more to courage than acting thoughtlessly. |
| 696 | ** Pretty well-known for wearing goggles for no real reason, starting a trend for future Digimon heroes. When Naruto first met Tai he commented on how it brought back memories from when he didn't have his ninja headband yet. They bonded quite well given their impulsive and determined natures. |
| 697 | * Matt is TheLancer. Matt appears to be more coolheaded than Tai, but his temper flares up more violently when pushed. They often fight due to their clashing personalities, but consider each other best friends. His parents are divorced, a fact which has left some emotional scars on Matt and led him to push others away and become overprotective of his little brother TK, but he learned to come to terms with it and leave TK to grow up. He bears the Crest of Friendship, which may seem odd given his aloof exterior, but he'd do just about anything for his friends, something he came to realize during the [=DigiDestined's=] first adventure. |
| 698 | ** His strong connection to ThePowerOfFriendship, evinced by his unshakable loyalty to his friends, has gotten him a lot of allies in the House of Friendship. He's probably not about to join the Avatars of Friendship, though, because for one, he finds quite a few of the members (like Gentaro or Pinkie Pie) to be overbearing, and for two, he's not the type that goes out and easily makes friends with everyone in sight and he doesn't particularly want to be. But once someone has earned his friendship, it's a true one, and that's enough for the Friendship deities. |
| 699 | ** Out of all the Toku heroes he probably gets along best with Takumi Inui, aka Kamen Rider Faiz, due to how much they have in common as they both started as jerkish loners who actively avoided getting close to people, but truly care that their friends are safe. Also, both have wolf motifs, Matt through his partner Gabumon and Takumi through his nature as the Wolf Orphnoch. Granted, looking at their relationship from the outside, they both come across as huge assholes to each other, but they got each other's back in a fight. |
| 700 | ** He's in a band, so he can often be found at the House of Music rehearsing. Most members find it disappointing that he'd drop such a promising career to become an astronaut (not that that's a bad profession). For now, he still plays music as a hobby and often shows up at concerts at the House of Music to play either the guitar or his signature harmonica. |
| 701 | * Sora is probably the most down-to-earth of the [=DigiDestined=]. She often steps in Tai and Matt's quarrels, looks after the younger ones, is relied on as much as Joe and generally keeps things in perspective for the team. She was a tomboy when younger, to the chagrin of her very traditional mother, who Sora had a hard time understanding. The pivotal moment in her self-growth came when she realized her mother was just acting out of love for her, and that it was no different from how Sora took care of Biyomon and the rest of the [=DigiDestined=]. From that point she became more secure in herself, and grew up to become more feminine. |
| 702 | * Sora has chosen fashion design as her future career, so she spends time at the House of Costumes learning the craft, especially from House leader and goddess of the profession Rarity. She also plays tennis (used to be soccer in her tomboy days) and does flower arrangement (her mother's occupation) in her spare time. |
| 703 | * Izzy is the brains of the team. He used to avoid social interaction in favor of losing himself in his laptop, which was a way to cope with the discovery that he was adopted. Thanks to knowing his way around a computer and doing lots of research, his knowledge proves to be vital several times throughout the journey. He also learned that some things can't be learned without the aid of people and to open himself up to them. |
| 704 | ** His adoptive parents are very kind and loving people, and he learned to unreservedly love them back after working through his issues. The [=DigiDestined's=] frequent work with Kirito and Asuna under the White Hats allowed him to become acquainted with their adopted daughter Yui, who managed to rise above being a program thanks to the love of her Papa and Mama. Their similar feelings for their adoptive parents made them close friends, and Yui often visits Izzy in his laptop and plays with Tentomon. |
| 705 | ** His innate curiosity causes him to spend a lot of time at the Houses of Knowledge, Science and Technology doing research and studying. Many of these Houses' inhabitants praise his strong interest. On the other hand, Izzy is sometimes embarrassed by how he ignores everything else when he's deeply into something. |
| 706 | * Mimi could be considered as "the annoying one" of the team when they were starting out, always vocally complaining about their situation and not wanting any part of it. As their journey went on, she learned to think of the others as well and shed a lot of her initial spoiled behavior, though she never lost her will to speak her mind (which sometimes causes friction with others). |
| 707 | ** Her dream job is to be a cook, so she often works at the House of Food to learn. It turns out that Mimi's outspoken ways allow her to hold her own very well under the fearsome mentorship of Gordon Ramsay, who's come to admire her sincerity when everyone else seems to shrink before him. |
| 708 | ** Nobuyuki Sugou once took notice of her and attempted to claim her for himself like he once did to Asuna. He grossly underestimated what even a Rookie like Palmon can do to a puny human like him (seriously, she didn't even need to evolve). He got hospitalized after getting paralyzed from her Poison Ivy. Mimi and the rest of the [=DigiDestined=] think that ought to show him not to mess with any of them, though Kirito and Asuna tell them not to get their hopes up as Sugou never seems to learn... |
| 709 | * Joe is the oldest of the team, so he feels he has to be responsible for the rest of the [=DigiDestined=]. He has problems living up to this since he's pretty weak-willed and neurotic. Nevertheless, he is honest in his intentions and tries his best. In later adventures he tends to be the most absent of the team due to studying hard to fulfill his family's wish to become a doctor. His relationship with the rest of the team is often strained as a result, but when things are really dire, he'll choose to help his friends. |
| 710 | ** While Joe respects his family's wishes for his future, he's also put in his own twist by wanting to become a Digimon doctor. The bearer of the Crest of Reliability now trains with other doctors of non-humans such as Iwashiro Tessho and Jayfeather (the latter of which likes to take potshots at Joe when he messes up) and working alongside Brock, himself an aspiring Pokémon doctor, to have a better shot at achieving his dream. He's also encouraged by the team's ally Emu Hojo, a doctor himself, to work hard. |
| 711 | * TK is Matt's younger brother. Originally a coddled crybaby who couldn't do anything by himself, he matured to a great extent thanks to his digital adventure, becoming a more levelheaded and witty NiceGuy, especially when compared to his abrasive older brother. He's also part of the 02 [=DigiDestined=]. |
| 712 | ** Angemon's death to Devimon was traumatic for TK, and he's become particularly hostile to those who use darkness for evil as a result. A lot of people exaggerate this into TK hating anything to do with darkness, but that's not really true. But it's caused even benevolent darkness deities to tread carefully around him at any rate, most importantly fellow [=DigiDestined=] Koichi Kimura, who has a past as the corrupted warrior of darkness before being purified. |
| 713 | ** Being the Crest of Hope's bearer has led him to get along with various {{Hope Bringer}}s in the Pantheon, like Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata. Though if we're honest, TK hasn't shown much in the way of HopeBringer tendencies; he's more of a "won't lose his own hope" type of person. Monokuma hates him at any rate, because he's another element that makes it hard to bring absolute despair. |
| 714 | * Kari is Tai's younger sister and is TK's age. She was a belated addition to the team since she missed out on going to the fateful summer camp due to illness. She has a gentle demeanor, always puts others before herself and seems incapable of hating anyone. As she grew older, she became healthier and more self-confident. Like TK, she was also a regular member of the 02 [=DigiDestined=]. |
| 715 | ** Kari's status as a MysteriousWaif has allowed certain abstract, light-based beings to use her as a conduit in the past, like Homeostasis so it could speak to the [=DigiDestined=]. She doesn't exactly enjoy this. As it happens, the Light of Destruction can also use her in this way, which it does to troll the [=DigiDestined=] by making them hear awful things come out of such a sweet girl's mouth. Kari is trying to develop enough strength of mind to be able to expel it at will. |
| 716 | ** Used to be very physically weak and sickly, causing no end of worries to Tai. However, as she grew up she also grew physically stronger. For this reason she became friends with Wally, who's also a kind boy that managed to overcome his health problems to become a strong and independent person. |
| 717 | ** She's quite the AllLovingHero, able to show genuine care even for widely reviled creatures like Numemon when she found a bunch of them slaving away for Machinedramon. As already alluded to, the Numemon in the Pantheon adore her for this. It also got her the friendship of Nausicaä when the princess heard about it and was reminded of her own relationship with the Ohmu. |
| 718 | ** As one of her dreams is to see a world where humans and Digimon live together, she's the most interested in the partnerships that certain Digimon have formed with other deities in the Pantheon. She often goes to meet such deities to ask them if they're happy with Digimon and how the partnerships happened. |

| 732 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/LegalProcess Manfred von Karma]], [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics Shogo Makishima]], [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Mr. Burns]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLaw Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulasky]], [[Pantheon/EvilActions Brian Irons]], [[Pantheon/TaintedLaw Manny Pardo]], [[Pantheon/KillersAndAssassins Bluebeard]] |
| 733 | * The son of the very wealthy Kambe family, Daisuke uses his money and cutting-edge technology to solve criminal cases. He joins the Metropolitan Police Department's Modern Crime Prevention Task Force where he is partnered with Haru Kato, who disapproves of his way of solving things with money. Together with Haru, Daisuke solves criminal cases and later on the mystery of his mother's murder case. |
| 734 | * Daisuke has taken a liking to the young detective Conan Edogawa and is impressed by his intuition and intelligence. Conan likewise respects how Daisuke can keep mostly keep his composure no matter how stressful the situation. He has lent Conan his money and technological sources to help him solve the various criminal cases within the Pantheon, with Conan very grateful to Daisuke for his help. It helps that an earlier version of Daisuke from the novel series is regarded as a famous detective in Conan's world, so Conan has held Daisuke in high esteem for quite some time. |
| 735 | * He has a great dislike for Mr. Burns, one of the Three Managers of Commerce. While Daisuke uses his wealth as a means to solve crime and circumvent obstacles in his investigations, he would never stoop to the level of greed that Mr. Burns has. He finds it pitiful that Mr. Burns uses his money to stage rescues to fulfill his superhero dreams as Fruit Bat Man, believing him to be far inferior to the original Batman, the "World's Greatest Detective". Using his money as heir to the Kambe Family, Daisuke is trying his best to prevent Burns from taking complete control over the House of Commerce. Burns, on the other hand, has been continuing his takeover but is keeping a close eye on Daisuke. |
| 736 | * Daisuke has struck something of a FriendlyRivalry with Shinya Kogami thanks to their similarities, both being [[RavenHairIvorySkin black-haired, pale-skinned]] detectives regarded by many as handsome who have a disregard for the rules. However, Kogami, the TallDarkAndHandsome God, the stands well above the shorter, 5'6" Daisuke. This mildly annoys Daisuke, who wears shoes that elevate himself by five centimeters to compensate for his height. Nevertheless, the two get along and are often seen smoking together. |
| 737 | * To solve crimes, Daisuke has been buying the top technology out there to help in his goals. Daisuke has been learning from Tony Stark to improve his A.I. butler HEUSC to be just as good, if not better than, Stark's famous A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. He has also been trying to purchase some of Tony Stark's technology like his {{Powered Armor}}s to fight criminals whenever needed. However, Tony refused to Daisuke's disappointment. Nevertheless, Daisuke has gotten a good look at some of Tony's tech and sent ideas of possible upgrades to his loyal relative and Herald, Suzue Kambe. |
| 738 | * Daisuke's motivation for being a detective stems from his mother's tragic death when he was only a child. Given his mother's murder at the hands of his father Shigemaru Kambe, Daisuke has harbored an intense hatred for men who brutally kill their wives in cold blood. Since joining the Pantheon, he has aimed to take down infamous Bluebeard, the Unholy [[TheBluebeard Wife Killer]]. |
| 739 | * Scrooge [=McDuck=] has expressed surprise at Daisuke's willingness to spend millions of dollars to solve cases. The cheap old duck cannot understand why he would do so when he gets nothing out of it. He was even more surprised to find out Daisuke's unwillingness to become heir of the Kambe Family and fully inherit his family's abundant wealth. Daisuke, indifferent to Scrooge's disapproval, is mildly surprised that Scrooge isn't willing to spend his money when he can use it to get whatever he needs. |
| 740 | * He has an intense hatred for Manny Pardo, who, on the surface is an incompetent officer with CowboyCop tendencies, is actually the identity behind the Miami Mutilator who grew increasingly disgruntled with the media not paying attention to his killings compared to stories such as the resurgence of the Russian Mafia and its battles with the Cartel from [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws the Son]] and apparent existence of other masked killers from [[Pantheon/MurderAndAssassination the Fans]]. Given the corruption involved in the investigation of his mother's murder case, Daisuke has little tolerance for {{Dirty Cop}}s. |
| 741 | * Thanks to his loose cannon tendencies and penchant for solving obstacles with money, he's come under fire by the House of Pantheon/LawAndJustice for his use of bribery and over-the-top schemes by way of his very fancy technology and social connections. However, even the House has to admit that Daisuke is ''very'' effective at solving cases and catching criminals with his methods, and at the moment he's only under surveillance and won't be disciplined unless anything drastic happens. Daisuke, on the other hand, is very confident that nothing will happen to him and continues to use his financial methods as a detective of the Pantheon. At the moment, he's under monitoring by the House, who are willing to let his actions slide every now and then. |
| 742 | * Daisuke has formed something of an OddFriendship with Nami due to their shared belief in the value of money. Nani, however, has showed mild annoyance at Daisuke's privilege and arrogance from being born into the wealthy Kambe family, while she grew up poor in Orange Town and had to gather the money to save her hometown from Arlong. She's been trying to swindle Daisuke of his money, but he's been clever enough to avoid it so far to Nami's dismay. |
| 743 | * Although confident in his intelligent and financial resources, even Daisuke admits that [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob L Lawliet]] is by-far the best detective in the Pantheon even in spite of his eccentrics and far superior than himself. However, the secretive L has not been willing to communicate with his fellow detective Daisuke unless it's through his butler Watari. Daisuke has been trying to bribe L to teach him his skills by getting him the most delicious sweets possible, fully aware of the detective's notorious SweetTooth. L, while still a recluse, has given Daisuke some helpful tips for being a detective. |
| 744 | * He can also be found in Pantheon/CommercialAttitude. |

| 758 | * Enemies: The House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} in general, especially '''[[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Snidely Whiplash]]''', [[Pantheon/EvilActions Molag Bal]], [[Pantheon/EvilActions General Tarquin]], [[Pantheon/EvilActions Crow (Nefarious)]] |

| 762 | * Good Counterpart to: [[Pantheon/EvilActions Dick Dastardly and Mutley]] |
| 763 | * Snidely Whiplash had thought he place enough traps and complications to prevent his arch-nemesis from ever ascending. He had hoped that his opponent's absence would give him ample room to [[HopeSpot make a name for himself]]. When he went through a routine exercise with Nell by [[ChainedToARailway laying her across a rail track]], his worse fears were realized when he was quickly subdued by a familiar man with a red suit. It was indeed Dudley Do-Right with a paper officially allowing him access to the Pantheon. Snidely groaned as he was taken away by the authorities, realizing that their antics will now carry over to the Pantheon. |
| 764 | * While the GUAG celebrated alongside him for his ascension, many of their members were privately groaning at the prospect of working with the man. Many have heard horrifying stories of how far Dudley went to [[HonorBeforeReason honor the law when it was more convenient to just do the right thing]]. Not even Nell herself is immune to his interpretation of the law as she was arrested one time for using the ''wrong stamp'' for her letter in her plea for help. As such, Dudley finds it difficult finding people who are willing to work with him. |
| 765 | * It didn't help that the person who most appreciated his meticulous respect for the law was Miko, the Goddess of [[LawfulStupid Lawful Stupidity]]. She claims to have always admired the Mountie and believes he is justified in every thing that he has done. The only thing that gets her worked up is why he gets to be LawfulGood while she couldn't. The GUAG stated that while Dudley can be... annoying at times, he still does it out of the hopes of doing good. That and his antics are merely annoying while she remains unrepentant for murdering her boss. |
| 766 | * In response to Dudley's ascension, Snidely turned to an old friend for some help. Dick Dastardly may well be the polar opposite of Dudley. For every act of good Dudley does to someone who didn't ask for it, Dastardly ends up undoing it when there was no need in the first place. He was more than happy to make Mr. Do-Right's life miserable. What followed was a battle of wits to see who would give up first. It shows signs of stopping as the two unwittingly undid their own plans. |
| 767 | * Word of his ascension reached the ears of underlings, who came to those of Molag Bal's. Though ultimately he finds that the do-gooder wouldn't be much of a threat to him in the grand scheme of things, nonetheless the Daedric Prince finds his dogmatic heroism and virtues disgusting. As such, he tasked some of his lesser minions to go after Dudley however the GUAG was quick to notice the God of Scheme's plot and take action. |
| 768 | * The ascension of a Canadian Mountie was a long time coming. There has been a lack of rangers in the Pantheon proper, so for Smokey the Bear this was a pleasant surprise. He tasked Dudley to watch for any suspicious activities. That order had to be revised after several complains emerged from Dudley arresting people for crimes as innocent as walking off the designated pathway. |
| 769 | * He personally sought to take over the role of finally bringing that pesky Yogi Bear and his partner Boo Boo to justice. Unfortunately, the two bears turned out to be smarter than he realized. Mere {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s were enough to throw him off their trail for a long time. Afterwards it was the issue of finding where the bears would strike as the duo has been highly effective in eluding him. |
| 770 | * The Lone Ranger sees a lot of him in the man... in certain areas. He made it his life work to make sure others will have the justice he was initially robbed of. With that said, he is worried about Dudley's LawfulStupid tendencies. He is also weirded out that he names his horse "Horse". Besides giving the horse a better name, Reid hopes that some of his more tender moments would rub off on Dudley. |
| 771 | * For Javert, it allowed for another person willing to go to the ends of the earth to hunt fown Valjean to aid him on his quest. The two work well as a pairing as they work to adhere to the law, even though Dudley insists in helping people outside the law. The Mountie felt bad with Javert's fate and hopes to help the officer achieve redemption. |
| 772 | * Tarquin has made it his mission to teach villains throughout the universe how to get the advantage over their heroic foes. He even wrote a book to minions on how to handle common heroic tactics. A person like Mr. Do-Right only causes him to shake his head on how he could succeed in anything. Even with his advice, Do-Right manages to succeed with sheer force of ignorance and determination. |
| 773 | * Crow has considered using his [[TheBadGuyWins own successes]] to defeat Dudley Do-Right once and for all, but has decided not to. He figured that Snidely wouldn't want others to help him without his own permission, and doing the deed himself would diminish the mustache-twirling villain's presence. For now, he decided to give Snidely closes as to how he can prevent Dudley from winning. |
| 774 | * Dr. Evil stated that he would have probably taken a liking to Dudley, even during his time as a villain. He could tell that the Mountie was the perfect person to test his death traps to see of the do-gooder could escape. Nowadays, Dudley considers him to be a friend, happy to see the former villain turn a new leaf. |
| 775 | * Unknown to the Mountie, he has been under observation from two polar opposite deities: Wander and Raiden. Wander represents the ChaoticGood goal of [[ForHappiness happiness for all]] while Raiden represents the LawfulGood goal of [[ForGreatJustice seeking justice for all]]. Dudley is more aligned with the cyber ninja, but he heeded Wander's concerns about the do-gooder's tendency to disregard other people's circumstances. This he allowed Wander to tag Dudley around to show him he doesn't always have to adhere completely to the law. It remains to be seen if any of it has had an effect. |

| 789 | * George Douglas [=McFly=] is the son of Arthur [=McFly=] and father of Marty [=McFly=]. Initially easy to push around and only getting the girl due to pity, his son's time travelling ventures would change everything. In order to make sure that his parents would meet up, Marty planned to fake an attempted date rape with him so George would heroically rescue her. However the plan went awry and Biff Tannen decided to actually try and date rape Lorraine. Thankfully [[CharacterDevelopment George had become tougher]], [[DateRapeAverted saving her]]. And he'll do it again to any who dare prey on women like Biff did. |
| 790 | * He was happy to meet up with his family after ascending the pantheon. It was rather awkward at first, since he learnt of Marty's time-travelling and [[SurpriseIncest all that implies]]. At the end of the day he was proud of his son, as he helped teach him to be a stronger, braver man. |
| 791 | * Like his son, he '''hates''' bullies. Even more so than him, as he was the victim of Biff Tannen growing up and continued to be belittled by the butthead in the original timeline. However Marty's time travel would lead him to [[GrewASpine grow a spine]] and now lords over Biff. He is the bane of many a bully, and helps out with Jimmy Hopkins to deal with them. Him and Sakura Matou also get along, as they managed to get back at their abusers. |
| 792 | ** Plans to deal with Libby Chessler upon learning she teamed up with Biff, her SpearCounterpart. |
| 793 | * Somewhat of a pervert, given [[ThePeepingTom he was a peeping tom on Lorraine]] when they first met. In the original timeline, it backfired as he got run over for his troubles. That being said [[ChivalrousPervert he's good-hearted]] and opposes the truly skeevy, especially rapists. Zapp Brannigan and Glenn Quagmire have learnt on many an occasion not to mess with him. |
| 794 | * He already had contempt for Biff Tannen, however assumed [[ReformedBully he had reformed]]. Then Marty told him about [[BadFuture 1985A]], where Biff used time travel to become a CorruptCorporateExecutive, [[DomesticAbuse forcefully marry Lorraine]] and [[MurderTheHypotenuse killed him]]. George no longer tolerates Biff in the slightest, and has warned him if he even comes close to Lorraine [[BewareTheNiceOnes he'll beat him into a bloody pulp]]. Biff's wisely avoiding George for the time being. The only time they'll ever work together [[EnemyMine is to take out]] Gregor Clegane. |
| 795 | * Is a relatively successful writer of science fiction novels, thanks to the confidence boost he got in '55. His first book, "A Match Made In Space", is a part romance novel inspired by his own pairing(and has gotten a movie as of 2015). Do not use the "sci-fi" acronym around him, which in his eyes is "cheap junk." Also don't mistake the Darth Vader in the novel for [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} the one in the pantheon]], of which has zero interest in the [=McFlys=]. |
| 796 | ** Even with history changed, he's still a big nerd and fan of science fiction. [[{{Adorkable}} No-one seems to mind]] and he's pretty self-confident. |
| 797 | * Gets along really well with both Rory and Fry, as they're both men who [[TookALevelInBadass toughened up to earn their partner's love]]. They're also involved with time travel. He and Rory had a laugh about time travel ending up some awkward romances, like Lorraine [[SurpriseIncest coming on to Marty]] and Amy Pond coming on [[spoiler:to her son-in-law]]. |
| 798 | * For some reason his wife looks like his great-grandma Maggie [=McFly=]. This doesn't mean [[KissingCousins Lorraine's his second cousin]], its just that male members of his family are attracted to similarly looking women. [[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Sometimes he's mistaken]] for [[Pantheon/{{Logic}} Willy Wonka]], though [[TakeThat can't help but feel embarrassed about it for some reason]]. |
| 799 | * [[Film/ANewHope When Star Wars first came up]], he was shocked to hear the main villain being named "Darth Vader". Initially he assumed that George Lucas had plagiarized him, however was unable to go through with any lawsuit. However, he now realizes that time travel shenanigans were responsible. Now that they can finally meet, he instead wants to thank him for helping to get him and Lorraine together, and as a fellow science fiction writer |
| 800 | * Though they deeply love one another, the fact that "Calvin Klein" looks like his son did result [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR0FptmZKdw in a heated argument]]. They patched this up, though learning [[SurpriseIncest who Calvin Klein is]] made things awkward again. |
