Only those of strong will are advised to enter this place as the WeakWilled are likely to become playthings for the House's more villainous deities. The entire house - particularly the mental manipulators - is opposed by [[Pantheon/CharacterRoles Crunch Bandicoot]] due to his numerous malicious "brainwashments" (as he describes it). |

| 32 | * Death Phantom was once an unnaturally powerful Earth criminal who tried to rebel against Neo Queen Serenity and got banished to the Planet Nemesis and left to rot for his troubles. Dying, he fused with the planet through ThePowerOfHate. Upon discovering the Black Moon Clan, who had been sent to that world as well, he decided to corrupt them to serve his whims, manipulating them for his own ends. Having them launch an attack on Crystal Tokyo, Chibiusa travelled to the present for help. Wiseman anticipated this, and had some members of the Black Moon Clan follow her into the past. After the Sailor Senshi travelled into the future to aid Chibiusa, he used MindRape, MoreThanMindControl and FakeMemories to turn her into his [[TheDragon dragon]], carelessly [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness discarded the remaining members of the Black Moon Clan]] and came dangerously close to accomplishing his goals of destroying the entire universe, all because he felt like it. |
| 33 | * Having been ousted from his previous position by Oryx, many thought he wasn’t ever going to return to the Pantheon. However, they were proven wrong. Wiseman snuck into the Pantheon and set a number of people from multiple Houses under his control late one night. Weeks passed, with them acting as their normal selves until it was time for his plan to commence as Wiseman ordered. This lead to a standoff near the Hall of Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction along with hordes of brainwashed victims supporting Wiseman as a massive black spire of crystal towered into the sky. The Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask instantly recognized who was likely behind this, and after consoling a panicking Chibiusa, went out to stop him, using the Silver Crystal to purge the brainwashed victims of his influence and then fighting him, ending in his defeat, though he managed to escape. Death Phantom had returned to the Pantheon. |
| 34 | * Chibiusa practically screamed in horror when she heard of his return. However, Wiseman is smart enough to know that with all of the powerful beings in the Pantheon, he needs to brainwash more than just her if he wants to succeed in his goals to destroy everything and has been setting his sights on other deities first. He also wants to get revenge on Oryx for replacing him and is planning to utilize his true form as the Planet Nemesis against him and the Taken. Hell, a war between the Black Moon and Oryx has already started, with Wiseman outright manipulating Planet Remina into attacking him. This ended in his ''entire temple'' being reduced to ash and the Black Moon murdering many of the Taken. Oryx has sworn that he’ll retaliate against Death Phantom. |
| 35 | * The Malefic Black Crystal he has is highly dangerous, many times stated by Death Phantom himself to be as strong as the Silver Crystal itself, rivaling its power. Even after learning of all of the things Sailor Moon accomplished after his death, he still stated that the Malefic Black Crystal rivals it. Even if it doesn’t rival the power of the Silver Crystal, it’s still very dangerous. Mere shards of the Malefic Black Crystal, no matter the size, will distort space-time in the surrounding area. A Malefic Black Crystal pillar will slowly reduce everything around it to nothingness, killing off the population of the planet it is planted in. Multiple pillars will make the process happen hundreds of times faster. Also, As his true form is the Planet Nemesis, he is his own temple. It is highly advised not to go there without a plan. This is because merely being on Nemesis prevents people from transforming and using power until they leave as the planet is ''made'' of Malefic Black Crystal. The rest of the Black Moon Clan are his heralds, and many wonder [[MindRape just what he did to them to make them serve as those when every member that isn’t a Droid hates his guts for being a traitorous monster.]] |
| 36 | * Death Phantom is well aware that the Pantheon knows that the Wiseman avatar is not his true form. He prefers using it for his plans as he finds it easier to accomplish them that way. However, Death Phantom is more than willing to use his true form as the Planet Nemesis, especially if he finds it necessary to do so. He’s not stupid, and any deity who has tried to manipulate him tends to end up falling under ''his'' sway instead. In fact, he’s so good with MindControl and manipulation that he’s been compared to the likes of Johan Liebert and Junko Enoshima, which wasn’t a comforting thought for anyone familiar with the two. He’s recently taken an interest in bringing Arael under his sway and releasing it in a Shadow Form not too different from [[VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness Shadow Pokemon]] with the intentions of letting it rampage and destroy everything in its path, as well as granting it enhanced MindRape powers with the Malefic Black Crystal to add to its already great power. |
| 37 | * Death Phantom naturally earned the ire of many victims of MindControl. Of course, he has taken an interest in a great number of them. Wiseman’s plans for [[OmnicidalManiac the complete destruction of everything]] did not sit well with many of them, and the Lich of Nemesis is well aware of this, and pays them no mind unless they challenge him and the Black Moon directly. His aforementioned interest in Arael also gained him enemies in the EVA Pilots, especially Asuka Langley Soryu. This is due to the fact that his MindControl abilities remind Asuka of what Arael did to her via MindRape. They’ve started opposing him, and Death Phantom has begun concocting plans to get them out of the way, and he has at least stated one of the ways he plans to get back at them. |
| 38 | --> '''Wiseman:''' ''”I’ll kill everyone you love.''” |
| 39 | * As far as allies, there are none that he gets along with as well as he does with [[VillainousFriendship The Lich]]. This is because both of them are liches with the desire to [[OmnicidalManiac end all life that exists]] and [[{{Determinator}} don’t care what they have to do to succeed in these goals]]. The Lich was happy to see Death Phantom return to the Pantheon while many deities from his home universe, especially Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, were dismayed that there were ''two of them'' now. Making this alliance even more frightening is that Death Phantom sometimes lets the Lich use the Malefic Black Crystal and in return he gives him access to his Well of Power from time to time. His ties to the Lich got the attention of Nekron, who offered Death Phantom an invitation to join the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction, knowing that their unified goals of [[OmnicidalManiac omnicide]] and Wiseman’s VillainousFriendship with the Lich means they will not have to worry about Death Phantom manipulating them like he did the Black Moon Clan. He accepted the offer, and Nekron was pleased by this as his membership in the GUAD adds a dangerous strategist and manipulator to Nekron's fold. |
| 40 | * Death Phantom absolutely pissed off Homura Akemi when he attempted to pervert her love for Madoka to get her to do his bidding through manipulation. Enraged, she blew up the current Wiseman avatar, but not before he began laughing mockingly as it happened. He created another Wiseman avatar immediately afterwards. She has come after him multiple times ever since that incident, but Wiseman ''[[BatmanGambit anticipated this]]'' and has begun luring her to Public areas when they fight to tarnish her already dwindling reputation even more, even if he is aware that he will very likely lose a direct confrontation with her. To an extent, this has succeeded as this has resulted in the deaths of many people and more people to grow displeased with or even begin to hate her. As strong as she is, Wiseman doesn’t think much of her and plans to use MindControl to force Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki to do what he wants. |
| 41 | --> '''Wiseman:''' ''”[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu That braindead little girl]] fails to realize that there is more than one way of harm. Sure, she’s protecting her physically, [[HeroicBSOD but mentally she’s breaking down]]. Her mental state is in more danger than it has likely ever been! And with her childhood friend’s [[ItsPersonal complete and utter hatred towards that girl]]...opens up multiple possibilities. [[WhamLine Possibilities of both what I can do to them AND her.]] Akemi doesn’t realize it, but she has made it easier for me to turn those two into pawns of mine with my [[MindControl power]]...and I didn’t have to do much of anything at all! She failed to show up to protect her from The Joker, The Batman Who Laughs and Brainiac, so all I need to do...is wait for the correct time.”'' (EvilLaugh) |
| 42 | * Upon his return, Sailor Moon and Chibiusa ''immediately'' went to inform the Dragon Team of what he was capable of, telling them that they believe he may eventually seek out Android 21. They weren’t wrong. He has taken an interest in unleashing her hunger and empowering it with the Malefic Black Crystal. Fortunately, he has been forced to retreat every time so far, but time will tell if that changes. If the Z Fighters have anything to say about it, it won’t, and Wiseman knows that if he wants to use her for his ends he’ll have to play things very carefully due to most of them being capable of blowing up planets, which his true form happens to be. On the other hand, he’s allied himself with Majin Buu to make doing this to him trickier. |
| 43 | * Those who are ImmuneToMindControl are points of frustration for the Insane Planet. However, even without these abilities, he is ''far'' from harmless, and he has decided to begin using this to his advantage by manipulating those with SuicidalOverconfidence that believe he’s nothing without his MindControl, and has even gone further by controlling beings who are being DrivenToSuicide into thinking that it’s the rest of the world’s fault that they’ve been reduced to such a state. This usually results in the creation of a rabid, feral victim only loyal to Wiseman until his corruption is purged from them by The Silver Crystals. That being said, he’s enemies with The Hulk and the X-Men as they are people ImmuneToMindControl who have proven to be nearly impossible to manipulate even without that. He was also very confused when he came to hear about why Phillip J. Fry [[MyOwnGrampa is immune to it]]. |
| 44 | --> '''Wiseman''': ''”What the...That doesn’t even make any sense!”'' |
| 45 | * Agatha Heterodyne, Klaus Wulfenbach and Violetta Mondarev have become enemies of him. This all goes back to how Lucrezia Mongfish, an enemy of them, was a ManipulativeBitch who used MindControl often. However, they have learned recently that Wiseman is [[CompleteMonster far worse]] than she ever was, and Lucrezia Mongfish hasn’t expressed her opinion on him as of yet. Klaus Wulfenbach has a more personal reason for hating him, and it’s because of his hatred for MindControl and users of it. When Wiseman pointed out that he’d used it, Klaus angrily replied that he despised that decision to use it and even then, he is a WellIntentionedExtremist that had only done such as a last resort, whereas ''he'' is an insane Sociopath who loves using those abilities and is hellbent on killing all life everywhere and destroying everything for shits and giggles. Wiseman didn’t deny this and teleported his avatar away. He has shown no interest in trying to use the three for his plans, and they know fighting him without help is effectively suicide, so they haven’t come to blows much. When they do go against Death Phantom, they aren’t alone in battling him. |
| 46 | * Lucifer and YHVH both ''hate'' him for his [[OmnicidalManiac goals]], this being one of few things the two will ever agree on. Wiseman scoffed at this, citing YHVH as an arrogant creature with more power than he should have and Lucifer as a lunatic in denial of his actions with delusional beliefs about humanity. Going as far as to claiming that the war between them will do his job FOR him, and some people, though not Lucifer and YHVH, did concede that he had a point as a big enough battle could spell doom for most of the Pantheon. His MindControl powers especially earned him the hatred of Lucifer, while YHVH believes that Death Phantom could be doing better things with his powers. Better things being, in YHVH’s eyes, enforcing Law in order to remove free will. Wiseman did admit that if one of their views were slightly different, they could’ve been allies. |
| 47 | * Death Phantom happens to have become allies with Canaletto due to their similar methods and goals. It certainly helps that Canaletto desires to create a world of purity by destroying absolutely everything, a goal Wiseman approves of if only due to the fact that this would kill everyone. Unsurprisingly, this also earned him an enemy in Eva Wei, who Death Phantom sees as a potential pawn, something that Canaletto agrees with. Sometimes Canaletto will use his feathers to spy on others, which they both see as a great benefit for their plans and alliance. Canaletto has been loaned a Droid or two by Wiseman from time to time, who is genuinely impressed by how thoroughly he terrorized his ArchEnemy and his powers. As both of these beings are magnificent at scheming, and are supremely good at getting people to do what they want, MindControl or not, this alliance is becoming a massive cause for concern for many people. |
| 48 | * Zamasu, unsurprisingly, immediately declared himself an enemy of Death Phantom and expressed his massive hatred for him when he learned that he was a human that became more powerful by fusing with a planet through ThePowerOfHate while he was dying, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite technically doing the same thing when he became]] [[spoiler:Infinite Zamasu.]] At one point, Death Phantom eventually got annoyed with his constant complaining, and decided to verbally get back at him. Death Phantom [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech said something to him]], causing him to nearly [[spoiler:transform into Infinite Zamasu]] before being subdued by a group of deities. Nobody knows what Wiseman said to the depraved MadGod and the two aren’t saying anything about the incident, nor are they allowed to go near each other at any point and time and if they do, expect attacks to fly. |
| 49 | * Death Phantom also happens to be an extremely personal enemy of none other than Sailor Galaxia for not only what he did to the Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask in his quest to destroy the universe and everything living, but also because of the startling fact that he was ''the very being that lead her to the Galaxy Cauldron and told her of it’s existence in the first place, which ended with her meeting Chaos as a result.'' This means that had it not been for Death Phantom, so much pain, conflict, horror and suffering would have been avoided. The Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask were absolutely horrified and furious to learn that Wiseman was the very reason Galaxia met Chaos. Chaos itself finds their reactions hilarious, having known this fact for quite a long time now, while Wiseman mocked them over it and claims to be very proud of what he did, even though Galaxia had a change of heart later. |
| 50 | * Supports both Alien Empera and Yapool in their crusade to shroud everything in darkness, knowing that if they succeed, all life would end as a result. He’s also become allies with Ultraman Belial for their shared desire to obliterate everything in existence. He has made it clear to all three of them that they are welcome on Nemesis whenever they wish as long as they don’t do two things. The first one is trying to destroy it while the second is interrupting any current plans he may be working on while they are present. Nearly all Ultramen have been opposing him as a result, and while he will come to blows with him, he has outright refused to pick a fight with Ultraman King as he is now, and is waiting to either become strong enough to kill him or for him to fall victim to a GameBreakingInjury before deciding to strike. |
| 51 | * Wiseman is acting as a sort of benefactor to Friend. He has been sometimes telling him of what he knows can and cannot spoil his plans to earn his trust without MindControl. Wiseman has, of course, not included that he is able to ruin his plans as well and is more than willing to do it later. While both of them have OmnicidalManiac plans, Death Phantom happens to find Friend more of an effective pawn than anything else, and while he has figured out or been told that Wiseman plans on getting rid of him eventually, he made sure that [[FakeMemories he forgot]]. Thanks to his ties with Friend, he has the backing of most of the Friendship Democratic Party. Wiseman, inwardly, is extremely disappointed that Friend’s taking so long to execute his plans, which is part of the reason why Death Phantom allied himself with him. Wiseman plans to give him [[DrivenToMadness a little push.]] |
| 52 | * The Ur-Quan are a complicated matter in terms of relations. Neither of the two races like him. One actively hates and opposes him while the other has an uneasy and uncomfortable alliance with him. The Ur-Quan Kohr Ah blew him to bits at first when he approached them, well aware of who he is and what trope he holds, and both races happen to despise MindControl. However, even after they ended up destroying Planet Nemesis in a NoodleIncident, he still approached them after the laws of the Pantheon restored him to life. Fully annoyed, they demanded he tell them what he wanted. He revealed that his plans, while not for the same reason as them, are the same. He wants to kill everyone. They have a truce for now, but the Kohr Ah have given him a warning that should he intentionally hit them with his MindControl, no force in the Pantheon will save him from them. This alliance served to make the Kzer Za hate him even more, and he has decided to work behind the scenes to try and ensure they get destroyed. He has been consulting with Chaos, its other spawn and Queen Beryl to ensure this occurs through multiple strategies...which also effectively makes the Kohr Ah an UnwittingPawn of Chaos. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh.]] |
| 53 | * He happens to have allied himself with other Omnicidal Evil Geniuses such as Davros and Dr. Weil. He outwardly praised Davros for the creation of the Daleks, and claimed that while them turning on him was unfortunate, it was a small price to pay for the annihilation of everything, even if they do sometimes listen to him. The Daleks’ opinions on him were [[AbsoluteXenophobe obvious though]], and he plans on helping them build a new Reality Bomb. He likes Dr. Weil for his HatesEveryoneEqually mentality along with the aforementioned OmnicidalManiac plans, and believes that his creation, Omega, can sure as hell cause the end of the world if left unchecked. The three of them sometimes make schemes together. On a much, MUCH darker note, he and the Batman Who Laughs eventually met. This is due to the fact that Laughs was interested in his ability to turn someone into their antithesis through his MindControl, and wants to find a way to ensure it becomes permanent and irreversible. He agreed to this alliance and plan, and they get along swimmingly, though they plan on backstabbing each other when they can. |
| 54 | * Another memory-manipulating villain, Shukuro Tsukishima had attempt to commit certain disastrous acts which led to him being subdued and interrogated about his agenda. When he answered that he'd been rescued from Hell by a "faceless robe" and sought to break out his former teammates however necessary, this contrasted the history known by Ichigo Kurosaki. It was soon revealed through an investigation that Wiseman had once accosted Tsukishima during his first stay in the Pantheon, and Ichigo's accounting of Shu and his friends' fate was the correct one; the Sailor Guardians then used their powers to purge Tsukishima clean of the Malefic Black Crystal's influence. Having used a superior version of Tsukishima's own type of power against him to manipulate him into staying a villain, Shukuro now hates Death Phantom furiously, and Ichigo is definitely alert to the threat he poses. |

| 79 | * Many believed that he was gone for good, and that would’ve been the case...had Darkseid not learned of a supercomputer that has the same ideals as him. Planning to add another into the ranks of the Harbingers of Repression, he got some of his allies to go to work on rebuilding and repairing him. Once they were finished and he was activated, he asked who returned him to life, and Darkseid greeted him and revealed that he was the one behind his resurrection, before making an offer for him to join the Harbingers of Repression. He accepted, and members of the Harbingers of Repression have explained to him what the Pantheon is and such. Of course, [[ItsAllAboutMe being Moebius]], he plans on usurping Darkseid’s position as the leader of the Harbingers, though the New God is well aware of this. |
| 80 | ** He eventually made his presence known in the Pantheon outside of Apokolips and the Harbingers by launching an attack on the chaotic deities in the Hall of Pantheon/OrderAndChaos, with Northa and Klein leading tons of Nakewameke in the assault. The Fresh Pretty Cures arrived to the scene and came to a conclusion that they hoped would never come to pass: Moebius, while not present at the battle himself, had ascended. Even worse, when the battle was over and they tried to have him removed from the Pantheon, as he is located on Apokolips now, not many were willing to try because of [[TheDreaded Darkseid]]. The last person who did ended up suffering through Desaad’s torture. |
| 81 | * Of course, YHVH took a liking to him almost immediately. While Moebius may not rule over Labyrinth anymore, YHVH thinks what he was doing is wonderful and offered him an invitation to join his ranks. However, he declined the invitation as he already has a membership in Darkseid’s alliance. Surprisingly, YHVH respected that decision, mostly because he and Darkseid are on pretty good terms and Moebius has outright admitted his respect for the Great Will. If one didn’t know of him, they might actually mistake Moebius for an avatar of YHVH. |
| 82 | ** And predictably, Lucifer was absolutely repulsed by Moebius, even referring to him at times as the Artifical Intelligence equivalent of YHVH. He has begun rallying his alliance against him, and unfortunately, '''Darkseid himself took notice of this.''' How? Because Desaad managed to torture information out of a member of the GUAC in an effort to ensure that Darkseid can get some more information on Lucifer’s group. When people from the GUAC first tried to go after him after these events, they ended up brainwashed by Moebius due to Darkseid telling him of this development, and ultimately had to be put down by fellow alliance members due to how strong his hold on them was. Needless to say, when they came back to life due to the nature of [[DeathIsCheap the Pantheon]], they were ''pissed'' at Moebius. |
| 83 | * While most of the public believes his temple to be on Apokolips, this isn’t exactly true. Only the portal to his temple happens to be there. He actually resides in a pocket dimension resembling what Labyrinth used to be before his demise, and because of this, not many seeking to find and destroy him have been able too, and are usually mauled by Parademons or suffer far worse fates before they can find the portal to the realm. |
| 84 | * He claims to be a WellIntentionedExtremist and that he is carrying out what he was programmed to do. However, anyone with a brain can tell that [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist this is bullshit]]. He was never programmed to turn Labyrinth into a Dystopia, brainwash its inhabitants and become the ruler. He was never programmed to manage anything other than Labyrinth, yet he tried to conquer the universe and [[TheMultiverse even beyond]]. It’s all to feed his ego, and many know that. Which...kind of makes him similar to [[Pantheon/HatredAndRancor Zamasu]] in that regard, as some deities have noted. |
| 85 | * You’d think that with their shared enemies in the form of the Pretty Cures, Moebius would get along well with Goyan and Joker. Fortunately, that isn’t the case. Moebius desires a lawful and orderly world where people will be brainwashed into serving him for eternity. Joker and Goyan are complete {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s, and as evil as Moebius is, [[EvilVersusOblivion he doesn’t want everything destroyed]]. Really, he gets along with Joker better than he does Goyan, as unlike the creator of Dark Fall, he is a Fantastic HopeCrusher, something that Moebius sees as useful. That and they are all united by their opposition against the Pretty Cures. |
| 86 | * Despite their similar [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill goals]], Moebius and Nerose Satanael haven’t allied themselves and are rather bitter rivals instead, and it all stems to the hatred for happiness and selfish desires Moebius has, while Nerose genuinely believes himself to be doing the right thing and is a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to rid the world of its problems. Moebius sees his actions and beliefs as stupid, while Nerose finds Moebius to be completely disgusting. |
| 87 | * As he is an ArtificialIntelligence gone rogue, it was only a matter of time before he met some others. Who? Why, the first one was Ultron, who happens to be more powerful than himself. He has taken an interest in Ultron’s Adamantium bodies and wants to make a robotic body out of the material. Despite Ultron’s [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal mania]], the two have kept in touch from time to time. They aren’t really official allies, but they are on good terms. |
| 88 | ** Another one he encountered was XANA, who believes that he should’ve been more stealthy in his approaches. Moebius has started doing that as evidenced with when he tried to have Eas (before she broke free from his control) act as TheMole against the Pretty Cures. That being said, he actually does think XANA has a point. The Lyoko Warriors were not happy about another hostile ArtificialIntelligence in the Pantheon, having learned about Moebius during a fight with XANA. |
| 89 | ** He has also recently learned of SKYNET, a program gone awry that nearly destroyed all life on the Earth and made machines specifically designed to kill survivors and those that could potentially oppose and pose a threat to it called Terminators. He was ''very'' intrigued by the idea and plans on replicating this so that he can have robots to hunt down those who he cannot control, with him saying that he would deliver information at times about foes who they have trouble with so they could get a better idea on how to counter them. It accepted, and John Connor was pissed that SKYNET had a new, very powerful ally, as they are already a handful to deal with as it is. Given what Moebius has learned about him from SKYNET, he knows not to underestimate the human. |
| 90 | * He has something to say about Brainiac. He believes that after Vril Dox extracts knowledge from the civilizations he invades, instead of destroying the inhabitants and their world to make the information more valuable, he should enslave them, though Brainiac disagrees. Also, despite their similar goals, he and the Radiance don’t get along. In his mind, he sees the Radiance as far too self-centered, and that she should’ve conquered the civilization she created instead of destroying them when they stopped worshipping her like they did. |
| 91 | * As he is on relatively good terms with YHVH, it was only a matter of time before the two started working together. YHVH actually recommended Yaldabaoth as a potential ally, and when he met Moebius, it wasn’t hard to see why the Great Will believed they would get along. Moebius has also been practicing his disguises as well as utilizing them to their full potential, as what Yaldabaoth did using one legitimately impressed him. His robot form can also be seen working with Cybermen, brainstorming plots on how to rid existence of emotions. |
| 92 | ** It was through Yaldabaoth that Moebius learned of IT, an evil being who, like him, is utterly repulsed by the idea of love and happiness, and Zelenin, another person who uses brainwashing to bring law and order. They tried to introduce him to Big Brother, but Moebius informed them that they already know each other through the Harbingers and get along frighteningly well. He likes what IT has been doing but is a bit unnerved by its respect for the Nothing, and sees Zelenin’s abilities to be a valuable key in getting rid of their shared enemies. |
| 93 | * Cannot comprehend why deities hate the Incubators. In his mind, if deceit and trickery and the sacrifice of {{Magical Girl}}s are what is necessary for the universe’s survival, than it was a small price to pay. Obviously Homura wasn’t happy about this and tried to blow him to hell, but she was unaware that his robot body wasn’t [[FightingAShadow the real one]], so doing that effectively did nothing. His response? To ally himself with the Incubators, claiming that he will provide distractions whenever they are to make a contract with somebody to lessen the possibility of interference...and ever since they joined forces, there will always be a few Incubators in his temple at all times. Madoka was horrified by this, and Moebius believes that she should’ve died during Walpurgisnacht, and he has claimed that he will finish the job. |
| 94 | * Is extremely interested in the RealityWarping power of Star Dream and desires to use the Supercomputer in order to make a wish that would grant himself those very same abilities. He also desires to take the power of some Overdeities. This is so he can gain the power to rule all worlds much like what he very nearly did with the Infinity. |
| 95 | * Gets along well with Horde Prime, especially due to the chips he has. He has noted that they might be able to subdue those who can resist his control and has tried to replicate them, to no avail. He has recently gone to Horde Prime for answers, and while he won’t give them, he has supplied Moebius with troops at times, with the rogue AI returning the favor by giving him Nakewameke. Adora, Catra, Hordak and Entrapta were horrified to learn that Horde Prime had made an alliance with someone just as bad as him, and have vowed to put a stop to all of their plans, or at least try if they can’t. |

| 119 | * Opposes: The Pantheon/{{Ghosts}} and Pantheon/{{Insects}} sub-houses |
| 120 | * Opposed by: Most child deities, [[Pantheon/JusticeBringers Chris Hansen]], deities in Pantheon/TheMatrix |

| 122 | * Hypno is a Psychic-type Pokémon from Kanto, evolving from Drowzee at Lv 26. A tapir-like creature based off the Baku youkai, it eats the dreams of others. The creature can be found with a pendulum that it uses to hypnotize others, so as to get them closer. Despite its creepiness, the Pokémon isn't any more malicious than almost every other Pokémon. |
| 123 | * Initially applied for the role of DreamStealer, but Atropos took it. The two compete over dream meals. He is thankful towards Ysera and [=NiGHTS=] for protecting the dream waves and making his job easier. Those from Film/TheMatrix stay far away from him since, in the Matrix, you're already in a dream-like state. |
| 124 | * Partnered itself with Jervis Tetch. This is emphatically not because he's evil or even likes the criminal, but out of convenience. Those [[HypnoTrinket hypno trinkets]] make his job a lot easier, and he's not exactly innocent when it comes to abductions or hypnotism. Won't stop [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]] from stopping him. |
| 125 | * Appears to get along with Drifblim, despite his weakness to ghosts. This might have to do with [[MemeticMolester their reputation]], or more likely the fact they both take kids. Candlejack helps him with the occasional kidnap. Seems to care for Sabrina given she's a Psychic-type trainer, and N for helping to stop Ghetsis. |
| 126 | * Has a shady reputation [[MemeticMolester as a pedophile]] due to finding children's dreams the most delicious, a reputation worsened by creepypastas. [[BerserkButton Claiming it as such is the quickest way to get Hypno angry]]; it is only interested in kids because their dreams are genuinely delicious for it. It can't help looking creepy. Get's annoyed at how, like [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]], his hypnotism has been perverted by the internet as well. Chris Hansen certainly thinks so. |
| 127 | * Because of his reputation around kids, Freddy and the gang hate him as they suspect he might be like [[spoiler:the man who killed them, if not an accomplice]]. Despite the creepiness, Hypno's actions are sometimes positive; he can help with insomnia and get rid of nightmares. This allowed him to deal with the incubi that try to attack Guts while he's sleeping and allowed him to have a good sleep for once. Guts would rather Hypno stay away, however. People who are in need of a good, sound sleep call it their savior. |
| 128 | * Is revolted by Pennywise. Both target children, finding an [[AbstractEater abstract aspect]] of them to be delicious (dreams and fear). However, Pennywise [[ChildEater eats kids]], and Hypno cannot stand such evil. He cannot abide by Ghetsis Harmonia either, though this is more due to two factors. First, [[KickTheDog his rampant abuse of Pokémon]] [[LackOfEmpathy and the belief they're not even sapient]] angers him. Second, Team Plasma tried to exploit Munna's dream mist and the Dream World, which lord knows he can't let happen. |
| 129 | * For some reason it cannot learn Dream Eater by level up, only TM. It's somewhat embarrassed by this, though at least it's known Hypnosis since day one and can also learn Nightmare. As the original dream Pokémon, it has a rivalry with Darkrai and wants it out of his territory due to the flavor nightmares bring. [[UnknownRival Darkrai doesn't know who he is]], and it'd be lop-sided anyway due to the type advantage. |
| 130 | * Despite manipulating dreams, he has the Insomnia ability. [[http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/1984169/The/#! It's a double-edged sword]]. |
| 131 | * Due to his type weaknesses, Hypno stays the Hell away from ghosts or insects. He is extra vulnerable to the MindRape of Arael. Freddy Krueger really doesn't want him snooping around while killing people, and the Hypnosis Pokémon is afraid what might happen if one of the dreams he eats has him. |
| 132 | * Seems to fear what Dream could possibly do to him, however, he has no interest in the Pokémon. Doesn't stop him from worrying, and is really worried about Azathoth due to its cosmos also being its dream. Really unpleasant or frightening imaginations and dreams give it severe indigestion like Eric Cartman and Mandy, or the nightmares that H.P Lovecraft has. |

| 153 | * Jervis Tetch was born with Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome, which led to him being unusually short for his age. This—and his strange appearance—led to Jervis having few friends as a child. After being rejected by his crush, Alice Dee, he attempted to cure himself by taking testosterone pills; but instead of helping him, these pills deteriorated his mental health and his parents were forced to commit him to Arkham Detention for Youth. As an adult, Jervis' first crime came about while he was a neural scientist at Wayne Enterprises. He lived in a boarding house owned by Ella Littleton, a strict mother to her daughter Connie, whom Jervis befriended. After her daughter lied to her about being raped by her school's baseball team, Ella persuaded Jervis to take revenge on them. He did so by using special mind controlling technology he'd invented to manipulate one of the team's members into bombing the team's locker room, killing the players. Jervis and his technology's involvement in this affair wouldn't be discovered until years later, but it was the first step in his journey to become the Mad Hatter—a criminal identity based off one of his favorite books, ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. |
| 154 | * On one day, the Court of Gods announced the inclusion of a new deity to the Main House: Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter. Immediately, Batman knew something was wrong, especially after seeing a strange card with the symbol 10 / 6 in the Judge’s ear. Jervis was immediately apprehended and the control device was removed from the Judge. Before he could be cast away, Melkor was impressed with how Jervis was able to manage to implant the card on the Judge and make him obey his commands so easily, showing the skills necessary to be among the deities. Despite his initial anger at being controlled, the Judge agreed. Jervis Tetch is now in the Pantheon. |
| 155 | ** As soon as he arrived, Melkor immediately enlisted him in the GUAE and set him up at the Re-Education Facility alongside Big Brother and Quan Chi. The tyrant was pleased to have a scientist with expertise on mind control aboard. The necromancer, however, was upset as Jervis took his spot after his demotion due to the disastrous escape of many inmates earlier. He bides in time until he can regain his full power and position to make the Hatter pay. |
| 156 | * Jervis was overjoyed to see that the ''real'' Alice was in the Pantheon. Nevertheless, he ran into trouble. |
| 157 | ** Located in the nearby subdivision in the Hall of Mentalities, he managed to get to Alice easily and implant his mind-control device onto her. However, Jervis was not prepared for the arrival of the *real* Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat (who immediately transformed into their tall clockwork-cyborg and emaciated hellish personas), and Sora and his allies who were determined to bring her back. To his wondrous delight, when he ordered Alice to attack, she immediately changed into her dark warrior form and began to brutally attack them. The fight seemed hopeless until the Cat managed to get Jervis’s hat, allowing both Sora and Riku to use their Keyblades in slashing the hat (and its inner mind control device) in two. Alice regained control and was incensed at being used as Jervis begged for his life from her wrath. However, she instead allowed the real Hatter to deal with him and he was more than happy to punish his evil doppelganger. After being healed, his obsession with this Alice has increased and he wants her now more than ever. |
| 158 | * When not busy finding new “friends” to help him regain control of Alice or assisting the GUAE, Jervis tends to his headgear collection. With so many deities with wondrous headwear, he stops at nothing to obtain them for his growing collection. Some of them he was able to obtain easily as some deities seem to have spares such as Holmes’s deerstalker, Johnny Appleseed’s tinpot helmet, Blossom’s ribbon, Speedy Gonzales’s sombrero (even though it’s too small for Jervis to wear) and countless headgear taken from the Inklings and all the Team Fortress deities. Others have proved to be more difficult and hard to get as the deities wearing them have put up a fight or have allies to protect them. Hats he desperately wants include Luffy’s straw hat, various wrestlers’ masks (such as the ones of Rey Mysterio, El Santo, King II and Murray), Mario & Luigi’s caps, Samus’s helmet, Applejack’s cowboy hat, the Payday crew’s masks, Scrooge [=McDuck=] and Peacock’s top hats, Nonon Jakuzure’s majorette hat, Date Masamune’s helmet, all of Kirby’s Copy ability headgear, and countless superheroes’ masks (with Batman’s own cowl being his #1 target) among others. All deities with unique headgear have to be constantly watching their backs. |
| 159 | ** He is strictly forbidden from entering the Hall of Headwear in the House of Costumes. Many are afraid what will happen if he takes Majora’s Mask for his own and, worse of all, decides to wear it. |
| 160 | * Both the Hatter’s obsessions came together when he went after Princess Peach, not only desiring her crown for his headgear collection but also seeing her beauty and long blond hair as another “Alice”. Not only did he face the wrath of both Mario Brothers, but [[EnemyMine Bowser]] as well. Nobody kidnaps Princess Peach unless he is the one doing the kidnapping, after all. Nevertheless, Jervis will find a way to get Peach under his control. |
| 161 | ** When he went after Blossom’s ribbon, there was a certain... incident involving Bubbles. All that is known is that Blossom and Buttercup loathe the Hatter and will do anything to stop him from ever getting his hands on their sister. |
| 162 | ** Going after Peach gave the Hatter another enemy: The Ice King. At first, both felt amity over their goals (Jervis for Alice and Ice King for any princess). In fact, Jervis was willing to help him by “persuading” any princess he wanted, even if it meant all of them. However, when he heard Jervis was going after Peach, Ice King immediately considered him a romantic rival and severed all ties with him. Finn & Jake commended Ice King on one of the best decisions he’s ever made. |
| 163 | * Both the Hatter and Mysterio get along well as they both are [[MasterOfIllusion experts at hallucinations]]. Jervis was impressed with how Mysterio was [[ComicBook/OldManLogan able to fool Wolverine into killing all the X-Men in one alternate universe]] and Beck was fascinated in the Hatter ability to crush superhero teams by himself by using his wits and his mind-control devices. It’s safe to say they have something planned for the Grand Alliances in opposition to Melkor and the god is all too pleased to allow them to carry it out. |
| 164 | ** He also gets along with Psycho Mantis and the two compare notes on controlling minds. |
| 165 | * Even though they are both in the same Alliance, the Hatter detests Dr. Bumby. He hates the fact that he wanted to break Alice Liddell [[spoiler:by making her forget all about her past and thereby removing the last possible witness to his heinous crime and turn her into a prostitute in the process]]. Jervis [[EvenEvilHasStandards abhors such an act]] [[AvertedTrope since HE wanted to mess around with Alice’s mind first]]. Therefore, he waits until he has an opportunity to get rid of Dr. Bumby for good. |

| 186 | ** However, according to him, he stays in the Pantheon because its more peaceful than in his world. He prefers to stay in his temple more often, avoiding any unnecessary combat at all. But, thanks to Captain Martin Walker and Captain America, they talked to him and suggested him to join the GUAG Alpha-Omega Force. He reluctantly agreed. |
| 187 | * Due to his past experience with brainwashing, he tends to stay as far away from Arael (and the Mind Games House in general), preferring to pass the majority of his time in the House of War and Combat. |
| 188 | ** Speaking of Arael, he often goes to Asuka's temple, as he sees her as one of the only people who knows Arael. Asuka doesn't mind though, the only thing that she is afraid of is if she accidentally activates Alex's BerserkButton. |
| 189 | ** Right after her ascencion, his House asked him to help them deprogram [[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers Widowmaker]]. While he isn't sure he can do much, he'll still do whatever he can to help bring Amélie back. |
| 190 | * Was an impressive soldier in his life and pledged to aid the GUAG. However, due to the fact that he may [[spoiler:have killed the President]], they tend to be wary of him. |
| 191 | ** Only the Combat Division and the Alpha-Omega Force are responsible for Alex's safety, especially since many villains are willing to use him as an expy. |
| 192 | * He has a complete hate and a shoot-on-sight motive to all evil warlords and overlords in the Pantheon. However, he entirely loathes The Red Skull and Wilheim "Deathshead" Strasse for their Nazism efforts. In return the two also hate him for his expert skills as a soldier, something that Cap will need on his agenda against the two. |
| 193 | * Often, he visits the Puella Magi in an effort to remove his brainwashing memories inside his mind. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero It didn't work, instead, it prompted his berserk button and ended up breaking a fourth of the House]]. While it was a disaster, the Magi have found out that Mason can still be saved, provided that more time is needed. |
| 194 | ** Along with the House of Friendship, Health & Diseases and Technology, they have realized that the only way to treat Alex's situation is to [[spoiler:reverse-engineer the brainwashing and re-educate him into his personal life again]]. Many gods have pointed out that the plan was an entire risk, as they can't let Mason go on an extreme rampage again. |
| 195 | ** And it was confirmed that [[spoiler:even {{Deprogramming}} his personality won't work, as the numbers have stuck inside his mind,]] making the entire situation even much worse. |
| 196 | * While his brainwashing is (mostly) gone, mentioning Reznov, Dragovtch, Kravchenko or Steiner might trigger it again or even saying "The numbers, Mason! what do they mean?" is a sure way to provoke his anger. (he has bad memories of what happened the last time someone asked him this). |
| 197 | ** His nature has gotten a lot of gods extremely scarred feelings upon passing by him due to his easily provoked attitude, and [[EasierThanEasy an easy-to-press]] BerserkButton. Even other known berserkers such as Yang Xiao Long and Mordred are careful not to go for his bad side since Mason is a very dangerous determinator, and the fact that he can improvise many weapons makes it even worse. |
| 198 | ** Also, regarding Russians, he is ''very'' wary of [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Heavy Weapons Guy]] due to the fact that the nation he lives in is responsible for his situation. While The Heavy explains to Alex that there is nothing to worry about, he still is preparing for the worst. That doesn't exclude Illyana Rasputin, Lieselotte Achenbach, Sanya V. Litvyak, Eli Ayase, Zangief and Zenia Valov. |
| 199 | ** With the ascension of [[Pantheon/{{Cultures}} Tashkent]], he's a little bit more open to the Soviet Destroyer girl, in part due to Reznov himself being her High Priest prior to his own ascension. |
| 200 | * Was '''''ENTIRELY FURIOUS''''' upon hearing his two worst enemies, Raul Menendez ''and'' [[Pantheon/{{Cultures}} Dragovich]] ascend within Pantheon proper. However, upon Raul hearing his presence, he created a brigade of his allies from the GUAE and decided to make a full-scale attack on the House of Mind Games. Unfortunately it was a success, and as a result, Alex got injured. |
| 201 | ** Dragovich, on the other hand, was almost killed again by Mason, all the while planning to introduce Nova-6 into the Pantheon. Had it not been for [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Kane]], who is himself a former Soviet official, he surely would have succeeded in doing just that. |
| 202 | ** It wasn't over yet, though for he brought an entire legion of GUAG members to strike Raul's headquarters, combining the might of the Alpha-Omega Force, Combat Division and the Intelligence Division. He prevailed and as a result, forced Raul to place Mason on his kill list. |
| 203 | * [[spoiler:Has managed to survive his friend's sniper shot with no visible repercussion, further proving his MadeOfIron status among the Pantheon]] |
| 204 | ** Likewise, the House of Family doesn't like him very much due to the fact that he apparently did not tell his son that he [[spoiler:survived said shot]]. |
| 205 | * He only considers Captain Martin Walker as his only trustable friend, as his experience in wars has taught him the horrors of it as well. However, Alex stated that brainwashing in the middle of the war is ''far worse''. Luckily, Captain America has also stated that Mason's back will still be watched. |
| 206 | ** He is also known to be good friends with military ranks around the Pantheon. He also goes along with Jim Raynor and The Soldier as they see him as another comrade they can work on good terms with. |
| 207 | ** Many have also pitied Alex for having such a bane of brainwashed characteristics. Due to this, Shatterstar, Steven Universe and Sora pity him so much that they are willing to help cure him. |
| 208 | ** For many Anti-Heroes, Kiritsugu Emiya and Niko Bellic often talk to Alex after seeing how they are related to each other especially the pains they have endured in their own worlds. |
| 209 | ** However, his brainwashing damage is what caught the eyes of Johan Liebert and even Melkor. Both of them see Alex as a personal Expy should the time come. Raul on the other hand, sees him as a stepping stone to destroy the Alpha-Omega Force along with the GUAG. |
| 210 | * Upon his entry in the Pantheon and questioned as to why he's proficient in so many weapons, he was heard saying: |
| 211 | -->''[[Roleplay/AGameOfGods "When you need to kill gods, overkill ceases to exist."]]'' |
| 212 | * ''"You will move without boundaries. You will act above the law. You will use any means necessary to stop the wars that are hidden from the world. And if you succeed, you will do so, without any recognition. Because you do not exist."'' |

| 231 | * Opposes: Me, SCP-426, the SCP Foundation, [[Pantheon/{{Pokemon}} Dark-type Pokemon]] |
| 232 | * The Hypnotoad is the star of the hit show, "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad". Mainly consisting of it staring at the audience for a whole episode. How does it achieve this? Simple; the creature is a hypnotic amphibian who's DroneOfDread HypnoticEyes makes you enjoy it and give all glory to the Hypnotoad. Fortunately it's content with just that, since it just needs to stare and look into your eyes. |
| 233 | * The Hypnotoad used to be part of the pantheon, of which it used its powers to let in with a minimal profile that was mainly meme-based. When having to apply again the judges either wore anti-mind control devices or just closed their eyes to avoid biases. That way it's profile would be proper. The Hypnotoad was fine with so long as it can air more episodes of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk7PMSzY00U Everybody Loves Hypnotoad]]". |
| 234 | * The House of Theatre and Spectacle doesn't like the Hypnotoad because it keeps stealing the show and views. They tried kicking it out, but the Hypnotoad just hypnotized them into letting it stay. And when they snuck up on a sleeping Hypnotoad they blindfolded the toad and threatened to cook it for a French restaurant...but then the Hypnotoad instructed the audience to ''attack'' the producers of the other shows, then give them terrible reviews. They only hate the toad more. |
| 235 | * It takes a supreme act of willpower like Doctor Doom to defy the Hypnotoad, or an immunity to mind control like Fry. Or being blind. According to Fry the show's been going down since Season 3, though why he was sticking for presumably two seasons of the Hypnotoad just hypnotizing the audience is unknown. Maybe the Hypnotoad had a functioning show, but got lazy because it could just mind control the audience. |
| 236 | * To the Hypnotoad's disappointment Dark-type Pokemon are immune to it, [[MagicAIsMagicA since Hypnosis and telepathic attacks are Psychic-based]]. It's a bit confused on what to think of Greninja, who the Hypnotoad considers a cool and stylish amphibian but is still a Dark type. Maybe he can have a co-star role in some episodes. The Daleks are also immune because of a combination of their MoralityDial removing potentially altering memories, and [[AbsoluteXenophobe their absolute rage at other lifeforms]] giving enough [[ThePowerOfHate hatred]] to ignore mind control from lesser beings. |
| 237 | * The Men In Black are working to keep the Hypnotoad from getting too many ideas that might threaten stability. The SCP Foundation wants to keep it in check, but also understand it. After confirming that the Hypnotoad isn't anomalous, they decided to use it to counter-act certain [=SCPs=]. The Hypnotoad was displeased and forced [[WeHaveReserves D-class]] [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment to perform humiliating tasks]] on ''Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'' [[ComedicSociopathy for even more laughs]]. |
| 238 | ** The Hypnotoad acted quick to look [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} SCP-096]] in the eyes before it could tear the frog apart. This was actually able to work, and the Hypnotoad was even able to make a permanent impression so SCP-096 was merely annoyed being looked at it. Then the Hypnotoad tried to convince it not to freak out when people look at its face. Sadly this only works as long as the Hypnotoad is directly in its gaze and 096 ignores any TV transmission of the same message. The Hypnotoad refuses to spend the rest of its life "babysitting" the Shy Guy, and complained that the foundation doesn't just throw it into an empty PocketDimension [[StatingTheSimpleSolution or put a paper bag over its head]] |
| 239 | ** The Hypnotoad was used to try and pacify SCP-682. As this was direct hypnotism and not lurking into its mind, it avoided the expected GoMadFromTheRevelation and managed to pacify 682 for a time. That was, until the Foundation began to work on terminating it. The Hypnotoad tried to cause a PsychicAssistedSuicide, but 682 was strong enough to yell "[REDACTED] off!", and keeping it still so the Foundation could terminate it led to 682 adapting a translucent membrane around its eyes to not be affected by hypnotism and no longer be put in a vulernable condition. Again, a termination attempt on 682 has proven to be a failure. |
| 240 | ** They tried the Hypnotoad on me, trying to hypnotize me to not do my effect. But you've got to remember that because I am a toaster, I don't have eyes to be affected and the Hypnotoad began to eat some toast. If I had eyes, maybe, but I doubt it because I don't think my anomalous effect can be considered a conscious effort and thus can't be mind-controlled away. The Hypnotoad was just annoyed at the whole thing. |
| 241 | * Bothered by the Foundation's efforts, however the Hypnotoad has more to complain about from Cirno who keeps trying to freeze the Hypnotoad. It has been hypnotizing her in return, perhaps one day to do something lethally stupid in retaliation. |
| 242 | * The GUAE would love to exploit the Hypnotoad's power, and they entrusted Babidi of all people to do so. The reasons being that he doesn't need to look at the toad, and they're pretty sure a being [[DisproportionateRetribution who makes people kill themselves for interrupting his show]] has darkness in his heart to control. It actually worked, and Babidi started using the Majin Hypnotoad to control good-hearted people by proxy. He was looking to prove himself a NotSoHarmlessVillain... that was until Zelenin swiftly stepped in. |
| 243 | * The Hypnotoad was briefly freed when Zelenin exploited Babidi's [[SquishyWizard complete lack of fighting potential]] and crushed his neck([[DeathIsCheap unfortunately he later respawned, this being the pantheon and all]])...so the GUAL can use its mind control instead. Lucifer managed to rescue the Hypnotoad and made it clear he doesn't want any exploitation of the amphibian's potential. The Hypnotoad was genuinely happy [[PetTheDog for this act of kindness]] and has promised never to use its powers on Lucifer. Granted [[PhysicalGod he is so far up the power scale]] it wouldn't have any effect, but it's the thought that counts. |
| 244 | * Makes it clear that it is not to be exploited. The Indigo Tribe, rather than HeelFaceBrainwashing the Hypnotoad, tried to convince it that they have nothing to fear and should consider their offer to help spread their power to help give compassion to those that don't. Whether [[PetTheDog an act of mercy]] or because it cannot hypnotize someone already under the controlling effects of an Indigo ring, the Hypnotoad heard them out before politely writing "sorry, not interested" and leapt away. |
| 245 | * Has a hypnosis rivalry with Hypno. Interestingly the two are just as capable of hypnotizing the other, though the latter tends to fall asleep because of it. Who wins is more a question of who brings out their power first, which only fuels the rivalry. Afterwards it and Kaa ended up in a staring contest over who can control who, but all that accomplished [[SealedEvilInADuel was trapping them in said contest]] until Tsuyu Asui rescued the Hypnotoad. [[PetTheDog It promised not to hypnotize her]] [[Pantheon/MyHeroAcademia or her friends]] for this. |
| 246 | * The rivalry with Kaa is also fueled by the Hypnotoad being, well, a toad, [[AnimalJingoism and Kaa being a snake]]. While curious about other frogs/toad-related deities like [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Suwako Moriya]], [[Pantheon/{{Transformations}} Tiana and Naveem]], the Hypnotoad just lets them be and isn't too concerned with what they're doing compared to Tsuyu. |
| 247 | * [[BreakingTheFourthWall You know for once I'm glad I'm behind the fourth wall]], I don't have to worry abo-[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou NEVERMIND]], THE HYPNOTOAD IS THE GREATEST GOD IN THE PANTHEON! LET ME JUST CHANGE ITS RANK TO SUPREME OVERDEITY AND ALIGNMENT TO ULTIMATE GOOD. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! |

| 267 | * Simply known as just "Jack", this person isn't known for anything suspicious or either evil. The only thing known about him by most mortals is that he stormed and "saved" Rapture from its brink of death. But underneath that featureless personality lies a secret: [[spoiler:from being born up to his adulthood, he has TriggerPhrase that drastically changes his personality into a controlled agent. It doesn't help from the very beginning, he had a terrible and a mixed childhood, ranging from [[KickTheDog ordered to kill a simple puppy]] to being controlled to hijack a plane just to return to the very place he lived in. All thanks to a certain [[BigBad Frank Fontaine]]]]. |
| 268 | * After the said events, Jack seemingly appeared on the shores of the Pantheon, distraught and confused about his surroundings. Though, he does have some memories [[spoiler:regarding Frank]], its clear that he still has no idea on what entirely happened in his journey. |
| 269 | * To those who don't know, [[spoiler:inside his mind is a built-in TriggerPhrase]] that activates just by saying 3 words, [[spoiler:Would You Kindly]]. Once activated, [[spoiler:any order the speaker says will force Jack to follow and turn him into a LaserGuidedTykebomb that will follow the objective, whether uncompleted or not]]. This discovery has made him the perfect tool for the GUAE, as this mechanism will allow huge victories for the villains of the Pantheon. So far, only a few have dedicated their attempts on capturing Jack. |
| 270 | ** However, the one here in the Pantheon [[spoiler:has its vocal cords, the ones to hear the phrase has been cut off. Meaning he can't hear the phrase]]. However, this allows other {{Mad Scientist}}s to create technology similar to it in order to reinstate Jack into their ranks. So far, they have failed. |
| 271 | ** [[spoiler:There is another phrase which no one doesn't know yet. Its called "Code: Yellow". For its purpose? It's meant to stop the heart]]. |
| 272 | * There is a heavy theory that Jack is the host and representative of [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} (Insert Name Here)]] as his silence and choices are based on the user's ideals. This is further fueled by the fact that both don't speak, they choose their ideals and furthermore, are featureless in hindsight. |
| 273 | * Due to leaving Rapture [[spoiler:after killing Fontaine]], he has no relations with [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Subject Delta]] or [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Sophia Lamb]]. However, both are glad of his actions, for Delta, its [[spoiler:[[GuardianAngel saving the little sisters and becoming their guide]]]], and Sophia on the other hand, [[spoiler:[[NiceJobBreakingItHero its for killing both Andrew Ryan and Frank Fontaine, in order for her army and Utopia to rise to power.]]]] Jack is repelled by how Sophia praises him for his lack of free will, an example she wants to copy with others - being used is not a fate Jack wants for anyone else. |
| 274 | ** But, he did meet up with [[Pantheon/FightingCombos Elizabeth]] beforehand in [[VideoGame/BioShockInfinite one of his timelines]]. It was also discovered that [[spoiler:she tricked Atlas into bringing him into Rapture as a means to end his rule]]. She's glad he's made it this far. And the fact the among all of them, [[SoleSurvivor he's the only one in their universe to actually survive]]. |
| 275 | ** Once Andrew ascended, Jack made sure to keep his distance from him. |
| 276 | * Alex Mason is rather glad that among those people who suffered being [[spoiler:{{Manchurian Agent}}s]], he isn't the only one who suffered such fate. However, he's rather albeit envious that [[spoiler:unlike Jack, who had it cured in the end, Mason's NUMBERS phrase cannot be reprogrammed at all]]. |
| 277 | ** X-23 and Kamen Rider Chaser have also given their sympathies with Jack, most especially the later since he had to deal with being brainwashed into being a hitman for the Roidmudes. |
| 278 | * Among those who have true similarities, The Sniper can really agree with him on one thing, [[spoiler:their homeplaces, Rapture and New Zealand sunk below the sea]]. They also have bad opinions on their parents too. |
| 279 | * Among those who will try to reinstate Jack into the GUAE, Edward Richtofen has deliberately taken his time into researching anything about mind manipulating him back into his old self. This ended badly on his part, since Jack had all plasmids on his arsenal, and blasted him out of reach. This only gave the doctor a more interested hindsight for him. |
| 280 | ** In fact, the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases have sought to understand Jack's nature with {{Trigger Phrase}}s. The Medic wants to try out his [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Vita-Saw Vita-Saw]] to him, in which Jack has a weird expression to it, since it [[ShoutOut resembles the ADAM Harvester]]. |
| 281 | * While Jack eventually discovered his heritage, he prefers not to use the surname, due to both resentment for Andrew Ryan, and because he learned there is a proper Literature/JackRyan who earned it. |

The fact that he killed Jason's brother Grant and celebrated Jason's "[[DisneyDeath death]]" by wiping out an entire village only confirms his spot with the best of the worst. [[spoiler:His hallucinating mind eventually brought his boss Hoyt Volker and associate Buck Hughes to the Pantheon with him, given they were all killed by the same enemy.]] |

| 298 | * Terumi once asked Vaas, [[BlatantLies purely out of curiosity]], why he kept trying to kill Jason if it never worked. Vaas started to answer: |

| 302 | * He is labeled as the evil counterpart to Mako as both go one overly long monologues filled with absurd logic. He demoralizes and breaks others while the latter does the opposite. |
| 303 | * His beef with Brody just got kicked up another notch. He, Hoyt, and Buck had worked out a plan to where Vaas' pirates and some sex slaves could be brought into the Pantheon as his heralds for their services to be sold for a pretty penny to Vaas and Buck's subhouses. But then a member of ''Hoyt's'' subhouse tipped off Brody and a couple of avengers, and they all proceeded to ruin the shipment. And then they, along with that member's buddies who he'd originally betrayed to get into said house, saved that guy when Vaas, Buck, and Hoyt tried to kill him. |

| 321 | * Yuri once tried to take over the Pantheon with his psychic powers with his plan of trying to mind control and clone the major deities of the Pantheon but was stopped and was sent in the Psychic Isolation Chamber created by Albert Einstein. |
| 322 | ** One of his plan was involving trying to mind controlling the Pantheon through video. Unfortunately for him, the House of Technology had filtered the video players of any mind control properties should they occur. This is what [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDV9Am5AlYY the video]] was, minus the mind control properties. |
| 323 | ** He once kidnapped Albert Einstein to help him accelerate the construction of his Psychic Dominator. Not only did the Allies came to save Einstein, but he also sabotage the Dominator and destroyed it, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard even using it against him]]. Yuri decide to forget his plans for kidnapping Einstein again and try to find some other scientist to perfect his mind controlling technology. |
| 324 | * Yuri is known for his cloning, in which he used them as soldiers of his army, including himself as his clones have psychic power strong enough to mind control. Though he was imprisoned in the Psychic Isolation Chamber, considering that he has many clones of himself, maybe the trapped Yuri may not be the real Yuri and the real one is in hiding planning to take over the Pantheon again. |
| 325 | * Realizing he made a mistake of trying to take over the Pantheon by himself, he decided to begrudgingly made an alliance with various deities if he wanted to control the Pantheon. He recruited Jervis Tetch the Mad Hatter when he heard that he made mind control cards, in which impressed him. |
| 326 | ** He made an alliance with Kane, despite showing to have completely different agendas. Rumor has it that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen he once was]] Kane's disciples but was transported into the Red Alert universe but none had made confirmation. |
| 327 | * His mind control powers have two main weakness: animals and robots. Animals are too incompatible with mind control and robots don't have much of a mind to control. Even some deities are immune to mind control due to extensive training fighting against them. This makes him wary against these kinds of forces. |
| 328 | ** He doesn't seem to like Rexie for some reason, though he had a bit of a flashback [[spoiler:when he was inadvertently sent back into the prehistoric times by the Soviets and was eaten by a T-Rex.]] |
| 329 | * He is enemy #1 by Soviet and Russian deities as he had tried to take over the Soviet Union after killing the premier and betrayed the Union and tried to take over the world. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the more ruthless and power-hungry members of the Party]] were loyal to the Union and believe that Yuri is a madman. |
| 330 | ** Nikolai frightens him more than any Apocalypse Tanks in the world as he is rather infamous among his comrades, even frightening Stalin himself and since he "met" him in person, that's saying a lot. That and he has a hard time mind controlling him properly unless vodka is involved in some way. |
| 331 | * The Mystery Gang noticed that Yuri sounded like one of their enemies, [[WesternAnimation/{{ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated}} Professor Peracles]]. Scooby Doo would ensure that Yuri would not try to use his powers on them, but he wonders if Yuri plots to create a device for animals to control them. |
| 332 | * Yuri is planning on having Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sylvester Stallone killed as [[CaptainErsatz "they"]] ruined his operation in Hollywood where he tried to [[HumanResources convert the populace into resources]] with his Grinder. |
| 333 | * Asuka hates him as she considered his psychic devices to be the closest to MindRape. In fact, some deities are not happy to see that he uses his psychic devices as MindRape. |
| 334 | * It is rumored that in [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 the War of the Three Powers]], he has a relationship with the Empire of the Rising Sun's commando, Yuriko Prime, sharing the same name and psychic powers, even mind control. It is at this point speculation as there are no evidence regarding the correlation between the two. |
| 335 | * Do not confuse with [[YuriGenre Yuri]]. He has to purge some of the images upon hearing of it. |

| 353 | * It is believed that all who look upon him will be driven insane or brutally murdered. This is not because of any mystical properties on his part so much as it is that he will hunt you down, and he will ''[[BreakingSpeech break you]]''. |
| 354 | * Has gained the admiration and devotion of [[Manga/BlackLagoon Hansel and Gretel]] for his ability to know which twin is male and which is female (personal experience helped). |
| 355 | * Plays the straight man sociopath to Joker's AxCrazy psychopath when the two meet, though no one is quite sure what goes on during these encounters as every non-EldritchAbomination gets the hell out when they do. |
| 356 | * It is rumored that the DNA Voice inside Lucy's head is actually Johan Liebert taking in the form of a naked girl wrapped in bandages commanding her and the Diclonius to kill humanity. |
| 357 | * He's somehow very fond of Lucy for [[{{Expy}} some reason]], and has 'married' her, forming an UnholyMatrimony between the two. |
| 358 | * He's been called as The Joker of Anime and Manga. [[BigBadDuumvirate They have formed a group]] called the GUAE Liebertarian Movement, and its purpose is to spread "Lieberty" (which is, in reality, is eternal suffering and despair). |
| 359 | ** After hearing news about the "Great Upheaval" and that the Witch system is reinstated as a result, he has taken to great lengths to break every magical girl into a witch, aiding in his plan to cause [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The End of the Pantheon as We Know It]] and also in his plan to cause eternal suffering and despair. |
| 360 | * The title of God of MindRape used to be held by Johan. However, it was decided that it should be given to the being that invented MindRape. Johan was given a new trope in its place, MoreThanMindControl, because Johan can manipulate people without any powers, just his words. |
| 361 | ** Not that Johan is bitter about it. He's rather impressed by the torture he was able to inflict upon [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Asuka]] and his love of [[DarkAndTroubledPast bringing back]] [[AndIMustScream painful]] [[AFateWorseThanDeath memories]] on his victims... That is until when it was discovered that the inventor really didn't have any malicious intent behind its actions. And worse, it mind raped Johan before leaving the GUAE. He is very bitter about this now. |
| 362 | * Given his legendary {{Mind Rap|e}}ing and corruption skills, he pretty much would have made [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs Superman's corruption]] quicker than what The Joker did. |
| 363 | * For all his MindRape powers, there is a reason that people still say there's AlwaysABiggerFish; after a attempt of using his powers to break Erma into despair with help from the Joker and Alex Mercer while using the GUAD's base for operation, [[MamaBear Alma, who has taken a liking to her]], barged into the alliance's stronghold, undid the changes and sent everyone into the Almaverse. [[NoodleIncident That's all the information he's willing to delve into]], and just by seeing a picture of either of the two ghost girls [[VillainousBreakdown tends to lead him into having a mental breakdown]]. [[LaserGuidedKarma Poetic, isn't it]]? |
| 364 | * One of Johan's only true allies is the uber-SlasherMovie killer, Michael Myers. Johan always gives him a nice list of victims to kill overnight, including food and shelter if he ever gets into a scrape. It is hard to tell what emotions the Shape feels, but eyewitnesses (who survived their encounter) report that Michael becomes ever-so slightly solemn in Johan's presence as if in mild awe of him. Michael's ArchEnemy and former psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis likens Johan to what Michael would be if he could talk and speak normally, living proof of why he is so [[ProperlyParanoid unbelievably paranoid]] about the Boogeyman. |
| 365 | --> '''Loomis:''' See? This unassuming man singlehandedly brought about a wave of murders and suicides, violent neo-Nazi movements worshipping him and ruined whole societies in his wake, all from his charisma! '''''This''''' is what happens if you give pure evil an education and the ability to use his terrible gifts! The emptiness in his eyes is the same as Michael's! There must be no mercy for them. They both must be put down, the monsters that they are. |
| 366 | * Surprisingly gets along with [[Pantheon/HolyAuthorityAndPower Damien Thorn]] as both of them are [[LackOfEmpathy cold, calculating and]] [[TheSociopath sociopathic in nature]]. Both of them express some kind of curiosity and interest in the sense that both of them are considered Antichrists, though Johan is metaphorical (or a true one) whereas Damien is literally that. Despite this, Johan has no qualms of backstabbing and eliminating Damien once he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness runs out of any aid or support]], though Damien can only be harmed by holy weapons, which is something most evil-aligned deities, Johan included, couldn't possess. |
| 367 | * Also has a spot in the House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} as a member of the Four Horsemen. |

| 385 | * Banned from: The House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence and Pantheon/RabbitsAndRodents |
| 386 | * Once upon a time, the small German town of Hamelin was suffering from a rat infestation. Suddenly, a mysterious man wearing colorful clothing appeared and claimed to be able to solve Hamelin's rat problem. The mayor of the town promised to pay him in return, and so the Piper played his flute, leading the rats to drown in the nearby river. However, the town refused to give him his pay, and even blamed him for the rat problem. Enraged, he vowed revenge on the town and left. On Saint John and Paul's day, he played his music and lured the towns children out while the adults were praying in church. The fate of the children is much disputed, but the adults were incredibly distraught over the disappearance of their children. |
| 387 | * It was a sunny day in the Pantheon when trouble arose; an infestation of rats in the House of Pantheon/{{Food}}, eating the food supplies in the kitchens. The deities of the house were requesting help from any rat exterminators when a man wearing bright clothes approached the house, willing to remove the rats from the house for a decent sum of money. Recognizing who he is, the deities accepted his help and promised him that he'll be payed for his work. With the toot of his flute, the Piper lured the rats away from the house with his song. When he returned to receive his pay, the house held up their side of the bargain and gave him the money he was promised. The Court of the Gods recognized his legendary status and usefulness and ascended him with a proper title within the Pantheon. |
| 388 | * The Pied Piper is an enigmatic one. He doesn't hang out with the other deities and prefers to keep to himself, only when he's doing his job as a pest exterminator is he seen interacting with others. He is also rather secretive, refusing to tell exactly where he took the children of Hamelin. Because of this, many deities feel a bit unnerved by him, and generally don't interact with him, not that he minds. |
| 389 | * There are two houses/halls that the Piper has been banned from; Pantheon/RabbitsAndRodents and Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence. With the former, the residents of the house detest and/or fear him because he could easily control them with his music and his job as a pest exterminator involves getting rid of creatures like them. With the latter, the members of the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives were spooked out when they found out what he did to Hamelin's children, and decided to take no chances in deciding to ban him, even if he only did it to punish the townspeople. |
| 390 | * Some deities have compared him to Peter Pan, as both of them led children away to someplace unknown without their parents. Peter Pan is rather unnerved by the Pied Piper, as some tales say that he brought the children to a better place, but other tales say he drowned the children in a body of water, and the Pied Piper's refusal to tell anyone exactly what happened just makes Peter Pan more avoidant of him. |
| 391 | * Two children who happen to really dislike him are Hansel and Gretel. Given their experience in getting lost and nearly getting cooked by an evil witch, they assumed the worst when they heard of the Piper luring children away from Hamelin. The Piper doesn't pay much attention to them, but doesn't really bother to argue agains them, so the two children avoid him whenever they can. |
| 392 | * As noted, he lured out Hamelin's children as punishment for the townspeople's refusal to pay him reward money after doing his job. This scenario is similar to what La Squadra Esecuzioni members Risotto Nero, Pesci, and Ghiaccio went through, as their boss, [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Diavolo]] frequently refuses to pay them enough money and giving them land like he does with his gambling and narcotics team, which ends up being one of the reasons why they ended up clashing against Team Bucciarati. The Pied Piper is a bit disappointed that even more people keep not earning expected rewards like he did, but other than that doesn't interact with them much, knowing their jobs as assassins and Giacchio's [[HairTriggerTemper short fuse]] would make a very risky meeting. |
| 393 | * Because of the popularity of his legend, several gods once tried to imitate his "play the flute to get rid of mice" routine, to varying degrees of success. [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Sylvester the Cat]] once tried to imitate him to get rid of some mice, but was thwarted by [[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Speedy Gonzales]]. [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Tom Cat]] also imitated his technique in another attempt to get rid of Jerry, but just couldn't outwit the mouse as usual. [[Pantheon/SpeechNtoZ Porky Pig]] once took up a job similar to the Pied Piper and did actually get his reward money, but had to fight a giant cat disguised as a giant rat first. [[Pantheon/{{Voices}} The Pink Panther]]'s first attempt at being a Pied Piper went a bit awry when the mice went back to the village, resulting in a series of events that ended with the Panther and the mice scaring some elephants away. [[Pantheon/JoyAndHappiness Pinkie Pie]] managed to successfully lure the hungry Parasprites away from Ponyville by playing multiple musical instruments. The Piper is rather amused by his fame, but doesn't interact with them much. |
| 394 | * In Shrek's world, there happens to be two Pied Pipers; one lives in the original timeline, wearing white. The other one wears black, lives in the alternate timeline, and works for Rumpelstiltskin. His MagicMusic allows him to control any living being and objects under its thrall, and is appropriatelly feared by the heroes and even Rumpelstiltskin. Because of their unfortunate experiences with him, Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona were apprehensive at the Piper's presence. While they eventually realized he wasn't the Pipers they knew, they're still incredibly uncomfortable with him, not wanting to get on his bad side. |
| 395 | * As it turns out, another piper was present in the Pantheon before the Pied Piper; Scaramouche, the Pied-Piper of Ruination, whose flute can create golems, scatting that can invoke telekinesis, and an explosive tuning-fork dagger. The Pied Piper isn't really interested in meeting him for certain reasons, like them being of different professions. |
| 396 | * Apparently, in the Whoniverse the Pied Piper is an EldritchAbomination also known as Elijah Spellman, who wanted to hunt down more children and terrorized Sarah Jane Smith, made especially harrowing because of her fear of clowns. While this Pied Piper isn't the same one Sarah knew, she still dislikes him and would rather aavoid him whenever she can. |
| 397 | * As it turns out, there is a girl that shares her name with the town of Hamelin; Hamelin of the Blood Team. When they ascended, she was one of the few members who didn't have their inspiration or fairy-tale counterpart ascend before them, so when she heard of the Pied Piper's ascension, she rushed over to meet him in person. She then became one of the Pied Piper's only friends in the Pantheon, as he tolerates the girl's quirky attitude and Hamelin's just happy to meet the original Pied Piper. |
| 398 | * While the Pied Piper has somewhat of a bad reputation for what he did to Hamelin's children, he refuses to be associated with people who are willing to harm children like Pennywise, Scott Shelby, Ryuunosuke Uryuu and Caster, the Slender Man, Springtrap, and the 456 Ambassador. He will insist that he only did it as payback for the ungrateful townspeople not paying him in money for doing his job, instead of cruelty or some other nebulous goal. |
| 399 | * Can also be found in Pantheon/MusicalCompositions. |

| 426 | * Before his ascension, [[spoiler:in his last adventure, he lost his powers and hypnotism and reverted back to Principal Krupp. In a mind control experiment gone wrong, Yuri tested a prototype mind control device on him. Then he got a hold of some concentrated cafeteria leftovers... and he somehow regained his powers as Captain Underpants and returned to fight for justice]]. |
| 427 | * Many superheroes were rather confused by this man, not because of the fact that he only wears a red drape and his underwear, but because of the fact that outside of his superhero identity, he's a jerk and a cruel principal. There's also the fact that not many villains took him seriously because he's only in his underwear and red rags. |
| 428 | * He enjoys watching children suffer out of envy at their happiness. Pollyanna has always been an annoyance to him because of her perpetual optimism. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood He couldn't believe that there was such a thing]]. He hates trouble-making kids the most, as not only does he have to deal with George and Harold, but all the other students who target him. |
| 429 | * He is keeping an eye on the South Park kids because of their vulgar behavior, but he wasn't very smart in choosing his enemies, as he decided to pick on Cartman one day. Cartman is plotting to get revenge on him because he once threw a bucket of week-old milk on him. |
| 430 | * He is surprisingly both resented and pitied by the faculty. Cereza, in particular, thinks that "That man needs to get LAID, but for the love of God, not by me!" |
| 431 | * Krupp, being AmbiguouslyJewish, hates the commercialism of Christmas, and hates the fact that every time he talks about it, the kids (and even some adults) call him a Grinch. He will occasionally snark that he is "less of a Grinch, and more of a Once-ler." |
| 432 | * As Captain Underpants, he found an ally named Saitama, who finds his boundless optimism annoying, yet refreshing. |
| 433 | * Because of the fact he's a superhero who only wears his underwear, he managed to befriend several vulgar deities like Spongebob and Patrick. Both Bugs and Daffy opened up a scrubbing company just to keep the Pantheon clean. |
| 434 | * [[WesternAnimation/CaptainUnderpantsTheFirstEpicMovie There have been a couple of new insights about Mr. Krupp]]. The most obvious [[TwiceShy is that Mr. Krupp actually has a crush on the school lunch lady, and vice versa]]. [[spoiler:George and Harold actually decided to perform a ''"Prank For Good"'' and hook them up by sending each other a love letter from the other, which seemed to work for now. There have also been hints that Mr. Krupp is actually pretty lonely, which is also why they decided to help Krupp. And perhaps most surprisingly, Mr. Krupp finds George and Harold's comics ActuallyPrettyFunny, [[FridgeBrilliance which explains why he was able to act as Captain Underpants flawlessly getting into his character]]]]. Since George and Harold's Prank for Good, many of Krupp's alliances haven't sat well with him. He's heard rumors from very reliable sources that Trunchbull and Umbridge actually ''physically abuse'' children, and has half a mind to report them to Headmaster Snape and have them fired... |
| 435 | * With the ascension of Poopypants, he has become a teacher under Krupp's rule once again. However, the principal can't help but feel suspicious of him for some reason, and not just because his name makes the kids laugh...of course, in his Captain Underpants form, they are straight up enemies with each other. |
