- Opposes: Chaos (naturally and obviously)
- Conflicting Opinions: The Incubators
- He was ascended to replace Altena under the request of Yuma Tsukumo and Eiki Shiki to be able to reform the GUAL. They actually had a good case for this, with Eliphas being from the Astral World, under threat from the attacks of the Barians. The Astral World and the Barian World were once one realm, but its inhabitants separated the two in an attempt to remove chaos from their world so that they could achieve Rank-Up. However, removing chaos has only led the Astral World to stagnate and decay, with its citizens falling prey to diseases and despair. In the aim of saving Astral World he was willing to allow the Human World to be destroyed, and would have Mind Raped his own herald Astral in further service of that goal if Yuma hadn't kicked his butt.
- By the way, did you wonder why Yuma had to ask Eiki Shiki for this and how she was able to reach Eliphas in the first place? He died so Astral could destroy the Numeron Force and save the Astral World. Her verdict was "White... But please, stay that way while here!" He did promise to her that he would try, he is seeking purity after all.
- After his ascension, he tried to ally himself with YHVH and the GUAL due to sharing the same wish for a perfect world. Many feared he would go back to do similar stuff in the Pantheon as he did in the Astral World but Eliphas has started to work with Eiki Shiki to turn back the GUAL into its former Pure Law glory instead of the corrupted variant they both found. Also, because hey, he does owe Yuma for saving the Astral World.
- Though he blames Lucifer and believes he was somehow responsible for this because in his mind, corruption=chaos and chaos=evil. Eiki had to metaphorically (and some say that even literally) pull his ear and scold him for this ridiculous leap in logic.
- He rarely exits neither the Astral World nor his temple unless it's a very extraordinary situation. He prefers sending his herald Astral if something needs to be done. Eiki Shiki thinks that this is for the better, as Eliphas' Lawful Evil/Neutral and Astral's Lawful Good balance each other and this is what the Yamaxanadu was what she was planning to do with YHVH.
- This has made Astral and Metatron acquaintances but Astral does think that he and his Master could be a lot less extreme. He gets along a little bit better with Mastema, but the Angel of Hostility can be an asshole half of the time.
- Has started to oppose the Grand United Alliance of Chaos. While he agrees that they are not as abominable as the Barian World influenced by Don Thousand, he still thinks that a pure world can only be attained by eliminating chaos. Lucifer replied to him that his wish of evolution is a Chaotic one in nature, and as nasty as Don Thousand was, Eliphas was/is deluding himself if he believed no one would complain at his tyranny. Or for that manner, that change could be achieved without the intervention of chaos.
- Though he doesn't seem like opposing Asura. Possibly because Yuma asked not to, or simply because he is smart enough to not even bother.
- He also respects a little the Hope Bringers in the Pantheon, especially Madoka Kaname for ascending and attempting to work with the Incubators (as much as that backfired) and Kouta Kazuraba for more-or-less and his devotion to ideals. (Then again, being beaten by an untransformed Hope Bringer would make anyone respect them...)
- However, Eliphas is deathly afraid of Flynn and avoids him like the plague after hearing what he did to Ancient of Days.
- Absolutely hates the Trollkaigers, as not only it was one like them that temporarily corrupted his herald, they have started to annoy him due to that defeat he had and since the one who defeated him is considered a moron, they say he's a moron by proxy. He has a No Trolls Allowed! poster outside his temple ever since and is planning to make the order on the House of Commerce the standard for the rest of the Pantheon. It's not hard for most of the deities to agree on this one.
- Does not know what to make of the Incubators. He thinks he would have employed them back in the bad days of his world so that they could have that decay and despair that was unnecessary for the Astral World, but now that his world was rewritten, he has no need for that. He does think that the Pantheon and Homura have been a bit too harsh on them as they were doing what they were doing for a good cause.
- Does not like Light Yagami. Eliphas thinks he could have been such a prospective chosen one for rank up and the cause of purity, but he has been too consumed by his ego to be that. Shame, as he said.
- Has been trying to snap Sartorius out of his brainwashing as the first step towards a perfect GUAL. It would be better if he was conscious while he preaches about the Light, as he believes it to be.
- He earned the ire of one Judai Yuki by doing this because he wanted to help his friend to be outside the influence of the Great Will. The feeling is mutual since he feels that the humanoid duelist's ability to have lucky draws that aren't a Shining Draw must be somehow related to the Chaos Barian Draws he despises so much.
- Yusei Fudo also hates him for being similar to Paradox, Yliaster/Aporia and Z-ONE. He simply shrugged this time.
- May YHVH have mercy on thy soul, because Eliphas will not have any if thou even suggest he could ever be... Chaotic! - Eliphas 13:13
- . ..Not that it helps since most of the Chaos Marines like to annoy him by quoting lines from the Chaos Lord Eliphas the Inheritor in front of him the few times he is around the Pantheon. To which he always responds by zapping those Chaotic fouls.
- Then they started to delegate this to Astral. Eliphas almost smote his herald before Yuma stopped him. He has ever since banned him from going anywhere near them anymore. Which technically speaking, he already banned him to... He simply was more lenient with him about that.
- . ..Not that it helps since most of the Chaos Marines like to annoy him by quoting lines from the Chaos Lord Eliphas the Inheritor in front of him the few times he is around the Pantheon. To which he always responds by zapping those Chaotic fouls.
- While he hates Lucifer for being Chaos Incarnate, there's someone else he hates even more: Homura Akemi. Hates, hates, hates, hates, hates her. Hates her guts. Hates how "damned" (aka selfish and driven by desire) she is. Hates how she cheated her way into "rank up" by stealing the powers of a worthy ascended one.
- And then he personally met the former overdeity in question. His hatred at Homura just "ranked up" because Madoka was a really nice person who didn't deserve that, period. By now, Eiki Shiki and Yuma are the only reason why he hasn't tried anything (Madoka herself has also tried to reign him in). That and his herald usually finds a way around that.
- Doesn't like the Lord of Nightmares, however, nothing has really come out of it since he's not stupid enough to provoke her.
Greater Gods
Bizarro
Bizarro, God of Oddball Doppelgangers (B-0, Kent Clark, Not-Bizarro)
- Greater God (Overdeity under a red sun)
- Emblem: An "S" shield flipped horizontally
- Alignment: Goodly Law, which is the Bizarro version of Lawful Good that ends up translating into Chaotic Evil or Chaotic Stupid due to the inverted reasoning and diminished intellects of Bizarros. Standard Neutral Good if his intelligence has been enhanced by Synthetic Kryptonite.
- Portfolio: Weirdo Counterparts, Superman's Powers In a Manchild's Body, Flip-Flopped Reasoning, Failed Attempt at an Evil Knockoff, Dangerous Superpowered Toddlers, Trying to be Superman and failing, Humanizing Element for his superior
- Domains: Power, Ambiguity, Ditziness
- High Priest: Fake Crash
- Followers: Homsar, Doodlebob
- BFFs: Lex Luthor (his creator), Mr Mxyzptlk (his "step-creator"), Delirium, Axe Cop, Frankenstein's Monster, Voldo, Leeroy Jenkins, Old Man Henderson, Jason Todd/Red Hood
- Just Friends with: The Joker(other "creator"), Sinestro
- Frenemies with: Superman, Lois Lane, Supergirl, Diana Prince/Wonder Woman
- Enemies: Varies depending on mood, but Darkseid, High Councillor Kal-El and Doomsday are constants.
- Annoys: Artemis
- Pities: Chin
- Bizarro was the result of a failed attempt to clone Superman. What Luthor thought of as a failed experiment(and before that just a means to and end) became, much to his and everyone's surprise, like a son to him. While Luthor tries to avoid being in public with him in order to not get embarrassed, you can see the two having a father-son picnic once in a while. Though technically a villain to Superman, his well-meaning but stupid nature makes him a Friendly Enemy instead. Clark Kent will sometimes even help him, even if it's just to keep him on Htrae so his "heroics" don't hurt anyone.
- Sometimes, Bizarro comes into being in another way. Back in the day, he was created using a faulty Duplicator Ray by Lex. Later, a cloning chamber, or sometimes another universe entirely. And on the one time, thanks to the Joker. The Joker has tried to use this in order to manipulate him, but he often gets annoyed by Bizarro's stupidity. There is a far more malignant incarnation of Bizarro in another universe called Brutaal, who masqueraded as Superman to cause terror. Bizarro has disowned this incarnation, and hates Darkseid for creating this "un-grave compliment to us Bizarros!"
- Feeling lonely, Bizarro made Bizarro World/Htrae with his bare hands, and populated it with Bizarro duplicates of Superman's family, friends and enemies. When a planet-sized monster came by and attempted to eat Htrae, Bizarro created his own Supergirl to help stop it. However, Bizarrogirl was just as loony as any her cousin and needed much coaxing from the original Supergirl to become a hero.
- Interestingly, one of Bizarro's fellow Bizarro Justice Leaguers was a Yellow Lantern before Sinestro even formed the Yellow/Sinestro Corps. Whenever his buddy is sick, Bizarro serves as his "deputy" for Sinestro.
- Bizarro was rather confused when he started reading TV Tropes and decided to make his own version. Under a red sun, he gained Bizarro vision and created TV Trope's Bizarro Universe: Tube Tropes. Though this scared a bunch of pantheon members at first, the fact their copies are like Bizarro calmed their nerves.
- On Bizarro World, there even exists Bizarro versions of the Cardinal Alignments(albeit at greatly reduced power as their influence is limited to the Bizarro Universe). Spacemos is Stupid Good, Natas the Valar is an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, Jahvayh is a nosy, tight-assed preacher and Lucy Fur is a rebellious teenager. Aside from Cosmos, the actual Cardinal Alignments are pissed off/really pissed off at these imitations. Some panicking resumed when Tube Tropes' base, Htrae, ended up invading the pantheon and spread a Bizarro Plague. They didn't get too far however, considering there were far more heroes and villains opposing him this time.
- On Htrae, Bizarro himself has an Oddball Doppelgänger in the form of Zibarro. While considered a loonie by Bizarro standards, he's the Only Sane Man to everyone else. The one normal-minded Bizarro in existence, Zibarro is distraught at being Surrounded by Idiots and wants to get off the planet. Sadly, he hasn't had much success entering the pantheon.
- Bizarro is great friends with Frankenstein's Monster; the two are both artificial monsters, who ended up being something their creator regretted.
- Yuuki Terumi attempted to troll Bizarro, which very quickly backfired because Bizarro couldn't "get" it. Eventually, Terumi got sick of trying and left him alone, at least until he can figure out how to get past his Blue-and-Orange Morality.
- Because of his...odd mindset, he gets along with Voldo and can be seen sparring with him. He also is one of the few who understands Delirium perfectly well, though a few things even he can't get.
- In his attempt to be a hero, Bizarro has teamed up with Axe Cop and Old Man Henderson. The Council of Cloudcukooland loves this, and can be seen making big bucks off of their adventures. So far, Bizarro is the only person in the entire pantheon who believes that Leeroy Jenkins is a brilliant tactician, in spite of Leeroy actually being more Chaotic Stupid than him.
- Rumors that he sometimes goes for strolls as "Not Bizarro" are not confirmed, though Lois will look awkwardly to the side when asked about it.
- Bizarro definitely didn't destroy the bizarro world, kill hundreds and then commit suicide. Bizarro considers this a very good joke as he doesn't want to hurt his "brothers", and doesn't really care about becoming some "perfect imperfect duplicate". Regardless, this gives many members of the GUAG pause to keep an eye on Bizarro to keep this from happening.
- Bizarro once took pity on the infamous character known as Chin, and allowed him to destroy Htrae's equivalent of China. Unfortunately for Chin, Htrae had its own Bizarro-equivalent of him, Nihc, who was the polar opposite of Chin in personality and powers—he is completely against violence, prejudice and genocide, and while he doesn't have Chin's destructive powers, he has Nigh-Invulnerability to make up for it and used this to defend his home. After a month long fight, Chin realized his attempts to destroy his counterpart were getting him nowhere, and he fled back to Earth in shame.
- Was very happy to be reunited with his good friend Red Hood, having previously been a member of his team, the Outlaws. Jason considers him one of the few "guy friends" he has outside of the Robins, and he genuinely enjoys hanging out with him and keeping him out of trouble. Bizarro's also been spotted visiting Wonder Woman, who reminds him somewhat of his other friend from the team, Artemis. She doesn't appreciate the attention as much as Red Hood does...
- Speaking of which, he's of course annoyed the actual namesake of his friend, the actual Greek goddess, Artemis. It takes forever to convince him that she's not the same person, and he often stumbles upon her while she's in the middle of hunting, which almost always results in him scaring off whatever her quarry happens to be. She's even gotten violent on him a couple of times when he did this, but unfortunately that only convinced him further that she is who he thinks she is, since the Artemis he knows is also a very violent person.
Reinforce Eins
Reinforce Eins, The Goddess Who Wasn't Really Evil (Eins, The Will of the Book of Darkness, Kurohane, The Tome of the Night Sky)
- Greater Goddess
- Symbol: The Tome of the Night Sky
- Alignment: Neutral Good
- Portfolio: Wasn't really evil, Power Copying, All Your Powers Combined, Anti-Villain, being the most powerful character in her verse, Too Powerful to Live, Heroic Sacrifice, Dark Is Not Evil, Ridiculously Human Robots, The Juggernaut, Person of Mass Destruction being forced to destroy planets, when she didn't want to, using the most powerful magic in the universe
- Domains: Magic, Knowledge, Darkness
- Allies:
- Ascended Nanoha Deities: Hayate Yagami, Nanoha Takamachi, Fate Testarossa Harlaown, Reinforce Zwei (her "daughter")
- Others: Takatora Kureshima, Lamia Loveless, Sho Marufuji, Nana
- Enemies: Relius Clover, Lucy, King Ghidorah, The entire Grand United Alliance of Destruction.
- Ascended when she was revealed to be not so evil as one would have thought.
- Reinforce was once known as the Tome of the Night Sky, a magical tool meant to collect and store magical knowledge, and it was only when the defense program was corrupted was she called the Book of Darkness.
- When she was sealed away, she had no idea she would have ended up in the Pantheon. When she heard of her friends in the Pantheon, her smile was very warm.
- Reinforce is one of the few deities capable of stomping Nanoha. As such, members of the GUAE have been warned to withdraw from battle should she ever appear.
- Whatever you do, do not hurt any of Reinforce's allies, especially Zwei. You will get a Diabolic Emission in your face.
- Gets along with Takatora Kureshima, because like him they both weren't really evil.
- Often frequents the Houses of Knowledge and Magic to impart magical knowledge onto others.
- Does not like Relius Clover as his pursuit of "perfection" led him to inhumane methods.
- Is unnerved by the fact that Lucy sounds so similar to her.
- As she was forced to destroy planets against her will, she does not tolerate deities who revel in destruction. As this applies to the GUAD, she has made enemies with the entire Alliance.
- At one point she stumbled upon Reinforce Zwei's temple. At first, confusion was expressed who the other was, before they put two and two together. Afterward, they both are attempting to find out how both of them could exist at the same time. But not before getting to know each other first and making up. It looked similar to this◊.
Tezcatlipoca
Tezcatlipoca, God of Bad People Showing Kindness (Smoking Mirror, The Mocker, Titlacauannote , The Young Man, Necoc Yaotlnote , Tloque Nahuaquepnote , Ipalnemoaninote , Yohualli Èhecatlnote , Ome Acatlnote , Ilhuicahua Tlalticpaquenote , Grand Assassin, Berserker, Assassin, Ruler, Grand Berserker, Dinosaur King, Izcalli)
- Greater God
- Symbol: His mirror/snake peg leg
- Theme Song: First Sun Xibalba
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Good as an Assassin
- Portfolio: Casting a Shadow, Trickster Archetype, Sinister, Yet Protected Slaves, Intimidating Epitaphs, Manipulative Bastard, Running Both Sides, Wild Card, Associated With Jaguars, Has a Mirror Or Snake Peg Leg, Disabled Deity, Cain and Abel, Everyone Calls Him Tezcatlipoca, Meaningful Name, Magnificent Bastard
- Domains: The Night Sky, Winds, Temptation, Sorcery, Earth, Obsidian, Change, Slaves, Jaguars
- High Priest: Daybit Sem Void
- Interests: The Evil Queen
- Interested in: The Alcohol sub-house
- Allies: Tzeentch, Set, Mr Mxyzptlk, Ratatoskr
- On good terms with: Slaves, Salem Saberhagen, The Magic Mirror, Al'Akir, Lucifer (SMT)
- Rivals: Quetzacoatl, John Constantine, Loki Laufeyson, Chernabog (friendly with John and Loki)
- Enemies: Quetzacoatl, The Slavers, anyone who abuses slaves, The Night's King, Apophis, The Dark Star, YHVH, Fused Zamasu, The Emperor of Mankind, Khorne, Osiris, Asdrubael Vect
- Wary of: Crocodilians like Feraligatr, Sobek and Ramon, Nox (Classical Mythology)
- On poor terms with: Taiga Fujimura
- The brother, rival and Arch-Enemy of the Feathered Serpent Quetzacoatl was Tezcatlipoca, god of the night sky and the bear constellation. Like many Aztec deities he supports Human Sacrifice, and the Smoking Mirror is known as a trickster who sets both sides against one another and causes general strife and discord. However he isn't totally evil; he has a soft spot for slaves, and will protect them from abuse. And as much as he hates Quetzacoatl, he teamed up with him to slay Cipactli and create the world from its corpse.
- Conspired to overthrow his brother, Tezcatlipoca tricked him into drinking a "medicine" that rejuvenates him until he continues to force him to drink the rest, after which Quetzalcoatl goes on a drunken spree of self-humiliation and allowed him to take over and introduce war and Human Sacrifice. He is interested in the Alcohol sub-house in order to trick other deities for his own purposes. He attempted to get John Constantine drunk, only to be Out-Gambitted and be humiliated himself. In spite of the humiliation he has a soft spot for the man due to how skilled a trickster and manipulator he is.
- He is a friend of Mr Mxyzptlk and Ratatoskr for being trickster figures, along with Loki. Loki and Tezcatlipoca are also fond of trying to one-up each other, however it done purely in a Friendly Rivalry fashion. Tezcatlipoca also has a fondness for the sarcastic tricky feline Salem. He may not be a jaguar, which is his sacred animal, but he's fond of him all the same.
- The Smoking Mirror does not remember his antics with Quetzacoatl turning her into a busty shotacon, but he laughs his ass off over it nonethless. He does acknowledge Taiga's Psuedo-Servant form as one of his naugul, but doesn't like her less than loyal personality in this form; she tried being Quetzacoatl's servant in his absence, and smuggled cacao from his territory. He suspects this is because her Psuedo-Servant form is also an Olemc werejaguar.
- He certainly doesn't recall being a doomsday weapon of the Old Gods, and would like to remind the JLA that while he does like stirring conflict for shits and giggles he is not a Mechanical Abomination seeking war to consume everything and everyone. One of the few times he and his brother will team up is to stop the wretched serpent Apophis' goals for universal destruction.
- Though known as the Enemy of Both Sides, he does not cause conflict just for the lulz; strife and discord are caused for the purpose of change. In that way he's a lot like Tzeentch, albiet more comprehensible. The rather anti-theistic Emperor of Mankind immediately recognized the similarities and considers him an enemy like the Ruinous Powers. Khorne also recognizes the similarities and his (extra) hatred of sorcery and trickery makes him rage even more than usual. As Tzeentch is a (un)witting agent of the status quo, it's unknown how long his alliance with Tezcatlipoca will last.
- Some may say that slavery is evil by default, and though Tezcatlipoca is not against the idea of slavery in itself he is very protective of slaves and ruthless against those who'd harm them. As far as he's concerned good slavers exist, and has pointed out Raphtalia and Filo are technically owned by Naofumi but he treats them as equals and is caring. Naofumi would prefer Tezcatlipoca not refer to him as a slaver.
- He would've gone to town on the Slavers had Frank Castle not gotten there first. The Punisher doesn't care about Necoc Yaotl, but is open for some of his suggestions on how to Pay Evil unto Evil towards human traffickers. He's thinking he should give them the Xipe Totec treatment. The Smoking Mirror is also aware that the Dark Elves use slaves, but so long as they don't act too cruel he won't try to end them. Asdrubael Vect and the Dark Elder, however? While most don't want to imagine what he's going to do to them if he has the opportunity, Vect smirks that whatever it is, he has thought of and inflicted worse on those who definitely didn't deserve it.
- Either has a snake or a mirror for his lost leg. He lost it fighting Cipactli. He's often associated with mirrors, which interests the Evil Queen and gives him some kinship with the Magic Mirror. Being associated with obsidian makes him walking, talking kryptonite as far as the White Walkers are concerned, and the Night's King openly fears the Smoking Mirror. Tezcatlipoca's association with vulcanism proves further problematic for the Night's King desiring a never-ending winter.
- Tezcatlipoca has a sore spot for crocodilian deities. Nothing personal, but his experience with the crocodile-based Cipactli sours him on them. Sobek doesn't care much for the tricky Aztec god as he's a neutral figure who finds his manipulation of humans rather gauche and Tezcatlipoca a chaotic figure who's a spanner in the works of the Egyptian pantheon. He does respect the god's protective, fatherly nature towards slaves as Sobek is just as protective towards his own men.
- Like most literal deities, Tezcatlipoca has contempt towards YHVH. He may use Human Sacrifice and spread discord but he respects free will. YHVH regards all other deities as competition to be stamped out as they would deny worship from Him. He doesn't get why he was listed as Dark-Law, and when it comes to Law vs Chaos he is more likely to side with Lucifer and his freedom. Tezcaptlipoca, like virtually everyone, also has contempt for Zamasu. Zamasu thinks he abuses his responsibility as a god, which is rich coming from him.
- Tezcatlipoca is a god of hurricanes, and given his chaotic neutral alignment finds himself getting along with Al'Akir. He is also a god of the night sky and the night winds. He regards Chernabog as a rival for supremacy during the night, however doesn't outright oppose him. Instead he opposes the Dark Star, who would assimilate the darkness and destroy absolutely everything if given the chance. Despite his reputation for conflict and mischief the Smoking Mirror refuses to challenge Nox like he may Chernabog, as he stands no chance against a Protogenoi. However he does respect her role as The Sacred Darkness.
- Surprising some is that Tezcatlipoca is a god of beauty. Tezcatlipoca also is actually a title, however he prefers to go by it. He would like to tell the Soul Eater residents that he is not a teddy bear-looking Death Scythe and that he is not supporting one of Green Arrow's enemies.
- He and Set weren't the most obvious of allies, however they came to find they have more than a few things in common; antagonistic brothers who are seeking to usurp their brother, and have a reputation of being chaotic. Tezcatlipoca sees in Set a deity unfairly demonized, and was quick to point out to Osiris that he was not that good a guy in the original myths; originally he raped Set's wife Nephthys, instead of being raped by her in a Bed Trick. Set and Tezcatlipoca work in unison to once and for all defeat their brothers.
Intermediate Gods
Kuvira
Kuvira, Goddess of Villains With Valid Arguments (The Great Uniter)
- Intermediate Goddess
- Symbol: The Earth Empire insignia
- Alignment: Lawful Evil, maybe Lawful Neutral now
- Portfolio: Exceptional Earth- and Metalbender, Iron Lady of War, Utopia Justifies the Means, Ambiguously Evil and Virtuous Anti-Villain, The Generalissimo, Sees Teammates as Tools But is Otherwise Polite So Long as She is Not Questioned, The Chessmaster, Combat Pragmatist, Consummate Liar and Professional, Crazy-Prepared Control Freak, Well-Intentioned Extremist, Forgot Her Original Goal Only to Remember in the End, Drunk with Power, Proud and Temperamental, Long-Range Fighter, Travels On a Maglev, Will Chain Dissenters to Railways, Skilled in Metal Strangle, Sour Outside, Sad Inside, Parental Abandonment, Break the Haughty, Life Owed to Korra, Surrenders After Defeat
- Domains: Earth, Metal, Order
- Heralds: loyal members of the Earth Empire
- Allies: Satsuki Kiryuin
- Enemies: Zaheer, Amon, the House of Plants, Hero Killer Stain (former holder), High Councilor Kal-El/Regime Superman, Ahtal-Ka, Hilda
- Respects: Avatar Korra
- Opposed by: Asami Sato, Tenzin, Lin Beifong, Bolin, Mako, Varrick, Toph Beifong, Katara, Zuko, Greed, Olivier Armstrong, Maes Hughes, Princess Zelda, most in the Hall of Nature Preservers and the House of Plants
- Opposes: Ozai, Ragyo Kiryuin
- Coming from the wake of losing the Earth Queen to the Red Lotus, the chaos that ensued in the Earth Kingdom required order to return. With the Avatar in recovery and later missing, someone had to pick up the slack. However, the replacement king-to-be was unfit to rule given his privileged life (and even he realized that), and Suyin Beifong, the only leader in a position to fix this chaos, had refused to provide any aid, not even supplies. That's where Kuvira came in. Dejected at Suyin's refusal to help, and resolved to not let the feeling of abandonment affect the Earth Kingdom as it did her, she left Suyin's city of Zaofu behind, picked up the slack, and became the Kingdom's temporary leader, only to then reform and unite it as a militaristic force of authoritarian purity known as the Earth Empire.
- After a harrowing fight against bandits, dissidents within her ranks, the resistance of Zaofu as well as Republic City, and finally against the Avatar herself and her friends, Kuvira and her forces were eventually defeated, and Korra managed to convince her to surrender.
- As for how she was ascended to the Pantheon, someone in the Grand United Alliance of Law decided they could use someone like her and hope to turn her to their side once more, so they set a course for her to ride in on her really cool maglev. Fortunately, Eiki Shiki managed to get to the former commander as soon as she could and brought her into the Magistrate Judges. She also sent word to Korra about Kuvira's arrival.
- Upon meeting with the Avatar again, as well as being told of what goes on in the Pantheon, Kuvira asserts that she still plans on atoning for the crimes she's done and hopes to do that by helping Eiki Shiki's faction; YHVH's agenda definitely does not have the interests of the masses in mind, which was why she became the Great Uniter in the first place.
- One of the few allies she's genuinely made in the Pantheon was Satsuki Kiryuin, who also was a military-style dictator who did try to save the world but in the wrong way. That said, Satsuki did hold to some morals despite that, unlike Kuvira who lost sight of what was right. Kuvira has pledged to assist Satsuki in keeping Ragyo from having her way in the Pantheon.
- Knows full well that not everyone else would be as forgiving of her being here as Korra, especially Lin (for betraying Suyin; Greed and Olivier both agree on this part), Asami (for killing her father), and Varrick (for forcing him to make that spirit vine cannon). She'd also rather not face Toph, especially since she's her younger self here (but still with the experiences of her 'present' self).
- Is a pariah in the Houses of Nature and Plants, due to her use of spirit vines to power her heavy weaponry. Most of the more extremist members of the house (such as Battra) actively marked her as an enemy and vowed to bring her down.
- The metal in her uniform isn't just fashionable, she also uses them as binders, anti-dissenter tools, and even wristblades. She is a Metalbender, after all, and very good at it. If there's metal on your uniform, she will use it against you in ways such as tossing you around like a ragdoll or tying you down in dangerous situations. If you don't have any, she'll take strips of her own metal, latch it onto you, and do the same thing anyway.
- Has drawn the interest of many mecha pilots, as while hers isn't impressive compared to theirs, the fact that she managed to create one at all in her setting is a commendable feat in and of itself. It's also made of platinum to prevent metalbenders from affecting it, though other metal manipulators like Magneto and Pyrrha aren't subject to that workaround as their powers exclusively affect metal.
- Speaking of mechas, Kuvira's bending would serve as a hard counter for Ahtal-Ka's mech. It's gigantic and capable of fighting entire armies, sure, but is ultimately made out of stone and metal. As such, she's one of the people out there trying to keep it from causing trouble.
- Re-education camps are a sore reminder of what she had once been, and has denounced those means.
- Other villains (such as Giovanni) have approached Kuvira with the intent of bringing her to their side, but she turned them down, not wanting to go down the path of darkness once more.
- Hilda might be well-liked by her subordinates just like her, but she doesn't have the best intentions in mind, and this makes her feel dedicated to stop her both to redeem herself and so that Hilda won't have her way.
- When Kuvira embarks on a project, she will have both a best-laid plan and a contingency safeguard for that best-laid plan. Case and point, that 25-story-tall platinum mecha? Was the backup plan to carry and fire shots from a giant spirit energy cannon in case she needed the cannon in place sooner than she planned to get it there by railway. Her proficiency in combat and authoritative presence are one thing. That she's able to plan on top of her plans makes her even scarier. As a good man who's served armies he had to discover were led by evil manipulators in two different lifetimes, Maes Hughes is keenly watching out for anything out of the ordinary with her to make sure it doesn't lead to another empire march.
- Like her, Ozai tried to conquer the world in the name of his own cause. Unlike her, Ozai's cause was simply "the strong should rule the world and the head of the Fire Nation is the strongest of all" and he's still an unrepentant believer in this idea even following his defeat. Furthermore, Ozai was cruel and repressive even to his own family, mirroring a far worse variant of what she and her husband had perceived the latter's situation to be. Even prior to her repentance she would despise such a ruler.

- Every superhero tends to have a singular supervillain as their greatest enemy or their darkest alternative. Certainly, one hero, The Flash, generally has that with the Reverse-Flash, but in second place comes a more diverse choice, a group of criminals banded together to perform a series of felonies, robberies, and all sorts of mischief that the police tend to deal with. Led by the cunning and dedicated Leonard Snart, better known as Captain Cold, this is The Rogues, filled with a colorful cast of criminals with their own issues, quirks, abilities, and powers. Despite their outlandish attire and villain persona as well as their mundane objectives, they are far more effective and dangerous as they appear to be, to the point where Captain Cold himself is just behind Reverse-Flash and Gorilla Grodd for the contender of The Flash's biggest for, and have even contended against other heroes. All this made The Rogues one of the most recognized villain teams known, and they are more than welcome to show how they earned their reputation.
- Captain Cold was already a member of the Pantheon, with the other members of The Rogues being his heralds. Later on, Snart figured that he would have to get his fellow team members more properly recognized when the increasing number of unscrupulous and tactfully uncultured villains became more commonplace in the deified realms. Planning a grand heist at a renowned back in the House of Commerce, Snart spent weeks laying out a plan with members of The Rogues being used as scouts, decoys, and distractions in the grand plan. When the day came, the robbery was infamous in just a few minutes, which led to retaliation, courtesy of heroes from the UA Academy, consisting of Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Iida, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki. After a fierce between an experienced criminal group and a team of skilled teen superheroes, The Rogues were able to make a hasty getaway without the moneynote , and while the UA heroes were celebrated for their victory, a greater win was held by Snart's group as their heist proved so newsworthy that the group was quickly highlighted as a formidable group by several, which highlighted their ascension. Turns out, this is what Snart wanted all along; start a big-enough incident without the need to kill anyone and then have a showdown against a group of heroes and secure some sort of victory so that The Rogues can finally become acknowledged enough to inspire some sort of influence towards the Pantheon's crime populace. That, and Snart ended up developing a measure of respect towards the UA heroes for their courage and commitment, something that was also shown with the Flashes.
- The Rogues might seem like a rather odd group of misfits, all of whom have their issues and even butt heads against each other either due to differing priorities. However, there are several things about them that make them very distinctive compared to other criminal groups and even supervillains. Despite their comparatively mundane goals, they have extremely powerful when they're all together, though them being independent at times makes them no less dangerous as each of them has an assortment of powers, equipment, and skills, on top of the experience that makes them incredibly wild and varied. Another factor that makes them stand out is an incredibly strict set of codes and ethics that they adhere to. For one, they try to cause as less damage as they can, including collateral damage and casualties. They (especially Captain Cold) don't want victims and blood on their hands and they don't want to get involved in bigger villain activities as that would compromise their rules. They also extend this to not take any drugs whatsoever and keep each other on top of shape as much as they can. That, and despite their vitriolic nature with each other, they do hold a strong sense of camaraderie and attention with each other, especially Captain Cold and Golden Glider, who just so happen to be siblings. On another note, while they avoid killing others, they will make an exception to those who really piss them off, as in unprovoked attacking or killing off a member.
- While well-known and pretty notorious within the criminal underworld and supervillain community, The Rogues pretty much keep things to themselves, with Captain Cold stating that everything is business for them and that bigger matters and events in the Pantheon, as well as big plans like taking over the world or destroying everything, doesn't really concern them as, in Cold's thoughts, it's best to be as professional and committed to their craft as they can. As a result, they are quite selective on which Houses to plot an invasion in as well as making sure they don't either pit innocents in harm's way or attract the attention of more unscrupulous villains. Sure, a few members like Boomer, The Top, and The Trickster might have some screws loose, but even they follow along with those conduct. As a result, they're not regarded as too high a priority to deal with regarding threats. The Flashes have addressed them as formidable enemies who are not to be taken lightly, but also know that for the most part, The Rogues aren't the sort of group that wants to indulge in being as evil as possible. After all, Cold seeks to avert that direction.
- While very conservative about their villain activities, The Rogues are open to the idea of making friends with other villains and generally hanging out with each other, with Harley Quinn and Deadshot being one of those who enjoy their company and even enroll in their activities. In Harley's case, it's a fun activity, plus getting to be with new playmates, even when she develops a consciousness. In Floyd Lawton's case, it's just business and while an assassin, Snart can respect the fact that he's excellent in his field of work and maintains a high degree of professionalism, so Snart is open to providing Floyd with a good sum of stolen cash that the latter can use for his daughter, Zoe. That said, Boomer isn't really happy to learn that Amanda Waller is also in the Pantheon as that would mean she still operates the Suicide Squad in the deified realms, and given his extensive criminal history, he's going to be spending a lot of time going out on life-or-death missions. That, and he doesn't want to remember the time General Zod seemingly killed him.
- While The Rogues are mainly in the business of your everyday crime activity, they do not appreciate nor accept planetary-universal destruction + extinction under any circumstances nor do they like the idea of the world getting dominated by a great evil either. The fact that Nekron once revived members of The Rogues who once died really ticks them off in several ways and the invasion of the Crime Syndicate was what propelled Captain Cold into becoming a hero on one occasion (and even admitting to enjoying his acts of heroism). While they don't have the highest opinion of Nagato, the former Akatsuki leader has given them an invitation to serve as private mercenaries with good pay on the occasion the Pantheon goes under grave danger. Despite their differing priorities, Snart accepted the offer, but only so long as the task, Nagato tasks them does involves saving the Pantheon from total devastation. Of course, it's not the first time Nagato has recruited villains and Snart's sense of honor and respect can help to get along with other villains, even if this relationship is professional.
- Given their occupation and their criminal record, it's obvious that The Rogues are at odds with the House of Law and Justice and with several heroes and upholders of justice. That said, Snart has more personal reasons to be rather dismissive of the law. He and Lisa had a father who was a police officer, and he turned out to be an unlawful one as much as he was an abusive parent to his two children. Considering the abusive childhood they endured, Snart and Lisa have a harder time dealing with cops and they don't really trust the Law all that much. Some police officers are willing to pity the circumstances of their upbringing, though Snart laughs off any notion that this influenced his career as Captain Cold; he made the conscious decision to be one of the world's most dangerous thieves and he's content with such. That said, his sister is someone he's overprotective of and he gets antsy over the idea of her being in a relationship, much to Lisa's chagrin. Then again, she was killed by a boyfriend at one point, which prompted Snart to kill him unflinchingly once he found out about it.
- While Captain Cold and Golden Glider hate cops in general, they place a special enmity on those who are legitimately corrupt, like their father. Learning of Brian Irons and Frank Tenpenny, Snart forgoes any sort of diplomacy and declares these two (and Eddie Pulaski) to be killable upon his instructions. While Irons and Tenpenny called on Snart for being an unashamed criminal who doesn't learn his lesson, he had none of it and shot back at calling them "pathetic lowlifes who act tough when they shatter easily upon being met a real threat". That, and Snart called them worse criminals than himself as, at the very least, Snart didn't betray his group and left to be killed or target specific people for their background. Of course, neither Irons nor Tenpenny got the note, which furthered Cold's willingness to kill them should the two cops ever cross paths with The Rogues. There is some pity to be had towards Scott Shelby as an abusive drunken father playing responsibility for the death of his brother was what led to him becoming the Origami Figure, though Scott believes has a justification for what he does, which doesn't impress Snart in any way.
- Despite being the most fantastical robbers one can think of, The Rogues are pretty open to holding a relationship with, or even working alongside other robbers so long as they don't compromise each others' working ability. Heck, Snart is even willing to teach them a few pointers and provide them with advanced resources if they impress him enough. For one, there was a quartet consisting of Tony, Jo, Mario, and César who were involved in a successful bank heist thems lives, albeit with consequences. While outwardly unimpressive, Snart states that The Rogues started off in the same way, so he would like to get along and help make them more formidable as a heist group, something that the quartet was pleased to hear about. The Rogues also appreciate the PAYDAY Gang for their tenacity and determination, seeing them as their most worthy rival in the Pantheon, despite the PAYDAY Gang's relatively mundane aesthetic outlook. In spite of this, both groups have collaborated on occasion, much to a lot of banks' dismay, though they have had a moment of heroism or two, usually regarding a world-ending threat.
- Their reputation as robbers caught the attraction of Carmen Sandiego and Cassim, both of who were also famed thieves in their own right, and Cold personally saw himself being impressed by their feats and aesthetic qualities. Amusingly, Carmen's ascension into the Pantheon, via finding a way to break into the Main House involved The Rogues as fellow conspirators via Carmen contacting and setting up a months-long plan to get the operation going. This made both Carmen and The Rogues more infamous in a way, but not without a couple of rewards and both Snart and Carmen have regarded each other as worthy professionals who would spend as much time competing as they would working together. That said, Carmen has never killed anyone directly and while Snart advocates his group to avoid casualties, they can become lethal to others if they're sufficiently pissed off. As for Cassim, his rivalry against The Rogues are also on more amicable terms and some members would like to take some notes from him. Cassim is unwilling to, if mainly because he gave up his ways of thieving, but Snart can respect his decision as well as his making up for it by looking after his son, Aladdin, which Cold saw as commendable as Cassim was at least trying to be good dad, something that Snart and Lisa's never did.
- They generally get along with Doctor Octopus, who similarly came to respect The Rogues for their ability to perform grand heists as well as being a capable match against their opponents to the point where he was willing to enlist the group as partners. The fact that Octopus tends to be the leader of the Sinister Six means that he has a good deal of knowledge about how to work as a team. On a more personal note, Doc Ock ended up being one of Snart's closest allies not just because of their shared sense of honor and capability to handle things well, but also because of similarly shared backgrounds via having abusive fathers that shaped their outlook on life. That said, Snart states that his father proved little influence on him becoming a criminal whereas Otto's father is one of the main reasons why he became a supervillain. When Snart learned that an Otto Octavius from an alternate universe became Spider-Man due to his father having died earlier than expected, Cold snickered at the irony but entertains the fact that the alternate Doc Ock would make a Worthy Opponent if they ever met. The Earth-616 Doc Ock doesn't pay too much attention to the matter though. They also saw a friendship in William Baker, the Sandman, though he only allies with The Rogues if it means getting enough money to help himself and his family, otherwise, he tends to see The Rogues as decent friends to hang out with. It helps that Snart upholds his promise to look after Baker's needs and family at times as a way to maintain their partnership.
- The supervillain leader, Lord Recluse, took notice of The Rogues and was rather impressed by their dedication to their craft as well as their criminal work and being a foe to several superheroes, especially The Flash, though Lord Recluse personally thinks that they would be a lot better had they set up their ambitions to a greater standard. That said, Snart's statement of wanting to keep things professional and cautious was seen by the Arachnos leader as a good argument as this is one of the reasons why The Rogues are able to keep together as well as be relatively reasonable and controlled compared to other villains. Cold is quite lax about Lord Recluse's compliments and even though Arachnos would make a good organization to work on. However, he prefers to decline, stating that he's not into competition with other villains nor does he really have any interest in Lord Recluse's desires for world conquest, in addition to preferring Doc Ock for a working relationship as they prefer to work on a smaller scale regarding ambition. Lord Recluse personally doesn't mind being declined.
- Crow, a villain who prides in doing standard villain actions like kidnapping princesses, creating robotic armies, and trying to take over the world, became a fan of The Rogues after hearing about how, despite the collective assortment of their powers, stick to doing your average crime, only in a more fantastical way. In reciprocation, Snart was accepting of the compliments and saw that Crow really likes to enjoy his time around those who have a code of honor, although he does have some issues regarding a few members, namely Boomer, Trickster, and Mirror Master. Heck, Crow went as far as to collaborate with Cold and his cohorts in a few crime activities and enjoys it, though he always makes a point to never take things too far, even if Snart and the others become willing to kill if they ever feel slighted, insulted, and disrespected.
- The group has had some thoughts on the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, with The Rogues finding it amusing how despite being a group of thieves and being hounded by a "famed" politician that even The Rogues saw as a vile piece of work, they're celebrated heroes by those who know about them personally. In contrast, the Phantom Thieves plainly see The Rogues as adversaries, though Ren Amamiya and Makoto Nijima sometimes pity and try to appeal to some of The Rogues, thinking they are capable of doing good if reasoned enough. Snart personally respects their commitment to striking on the truly heinous regarding their actions but finds heavy amusement in Makoto wanting to join the police force. She is aware of the irony and, as a response, tells Snart that maybe he could think about doing some good to others whilst telling him that whatever he went through regarding his father, the police aren't inherently bad. Snart concedes but plainly told Makoto that he can't abandon his criminal ways. While opponents, both groups don't really hold much animosity, and anytime they do fight, The Rogues and the Phantom Thieves are more likely to quip with one another mid-battle than show off any animosity. Though it's best not to make jokes on Snart himself.
- Being notable villains, they would inevitably end up clashing against several heroes, though to Captain Cold, it's just business for him. That said, he came to like Spider-Man to some extent, citing him as a good challenge, and would like to take down the web-slinger. Spider-Man returns the sentiment and while always cautious fighting against them, Spidey will usually quip back at them. He likes to make a lot of fun out of Boomer and Rainbow Raider for them being overtly stereotypical as an Australian and seemingly lame and bizarre power respectively. Of course, Spidey uses several tricks to best The Rogues and tick off many of its members, but Snart still maintains a level of civility to him. It helps that Spidey personally wants to communicate and help them out if he can and even thinks they can be a force of good if they try, but Snart denies any sort of opportunity to be a hero, believing that it's robbery and assault where he's best in. Spider personally denies this, and is quick to mention his contribution in fighting against the Crime Syndicate as a reason for why at least he can be a hero, to which Snart doesn't really have a counterargument.
- They've also dealt with the Hero Association, and at least Snart is one of the few to be aware of just how absurdly powerful Saitama is, much to his dismay. That said, he's surprised to learn how lax Saitama is regarding heroism and that it's really his apprentice, Genos, who takes them more seriously. Snart can at least respect Saitama for being committed to his goal of finding a strong opponent and kind of wants Snart to be a powerful villain for his own satisfaction whereas, in his perspective, Genos's goal of vengeance is something he's heard a hundred times over from other heroes and couldn't take it seriously. Snart also finds Fubuki rather respectable in that she wants to ensure the lower-ranked heroes are managed effectively, so alongside her having ice powers, he sees her as a foil in some regard. Still, business is business, so Snart has to fight Fubuki whenever they meet. That, and he likes to taunt the heroine into making her men tougher as a way to push their enmity to a more respectful and educative way.
- They also made enemies with the Spinjitzu Masters, though the latter's reasons are a lot more trivial much to Cold's annoyance, although their experience in fighting robbers and supervillains would make them a challenge. For one, they take issue with The Top, for whom they see his powers as a mockery of their own skills and seek to "discipline"note him with what they can do, though The Top doesn't really care about them personally, whereas Kai, being overly enthusiastic with his pyrokinetic powers, would like to fight Heat Wave to see who can be a better fire combatant, something that Mick would be entertained by. On the other hand, The Punisher sees every member of The Rogues as criminals and has no scruples about gunning them down if they cross paths. Snart is a lot warier about Frank due to his reputation as a Villain Killer and takes him more seriously than most other heroes for that reason, even telling his compatriots that it's best to avoid him than risk a fight. That said, Snart has admitted that he would kill Frank if he ever does kill a member as, after all, The Rogues are a family in a way.
- While generally amicable to other like-minded criminals, there have been some exceptions. One of the most glaring examples was Bullseye, and despite his incredible dexterity and impeccable aim, Captain Cold made it very certain that he has no place in being added by him, let alone be a potential recruit. Bullseye being a bloodthirsty maniac who loves with the urge to kill and revel in his acts was a massive red flag and Snart states that this would completely compromise The Rogues' code of honor and standards in their work. Bullseye simply expressed disappointment, thinking that Snart was making things boring if killing isn't an option. They reached a tipping point when Bullseye mused that he would be willing to kill a Rogue, which pissed off Cold to the point where he growled that he would be gunning for Bullseye's head if he ever harms a Rogue, especially his sister. From there on out, Bullseye treats his relationship with Snart and The Rogues as a professional rivalry whereas Snart himself sees him with a degree of contempt and tries to make sure that Bullseye isn't impeding his heists in any way possible.
- On the other hand, Heat Wave sees himself competing against Garfield Lynns, better known as Firefly for who gets to be the one who inspires the most awe and fear regarding their pyromania. To the uninitiated, both are destructive nutjobs, but Mick Rory has some restraint thanks to his partnership with Snart and has genuine camaraderie with his teammates whereas Garfield only wants to incinerate what he sees and will even toast his own allies if they get in his way. Curiously, Mick personally enjoys his rivalry against Firefly, but even then would stay away from any alliance, thinking that not only would they cause too much destruction and Cold would not be happy with Heat Wave having a hand in casualties, even if they were collateral. This turned out to be the case when Firefly did fight against Heat Wave once in the Pantheon and the resulting battle resulted in a firestorm that took a few days to clear out via a large crowd of firefighters and a few heroes. In the aftermath, precautions were taken to rectify the damage as well as ensure such an incident doesn't take place. Mick seeks to avert something similar and keep his pyromania in check whereas Firefly would gladly do it again.
- Among those who control and manipulate ice, Snart can count loosely if his cold gun is to be believed, though he did possess genuine cryokinetic powers once. Kuai Liang, better known as Sub-Zero, is not fond of Snart's villainous career, to say the least, though his beliefs on him might be based on more embittered version of Snart that he had once met before. Snart personally doesn't care much for Sub-Zero, though he's aware that he's far better and stronger with ice than he himself is, so he tries to avoid confrontation with the Lin Kuei grandmaster as much as he can. On the other hand, while Queen Elsa sees Snart and The Rogues as dangerous criminals, she does feel sympathetic about his upbringing and would like to help him out if possible, something that Snart vehemently refuses. Still, Snart does appreciate Elsa's craft in her cryomancy and generally doesn't antagonize her due to Elsa's kindness. Though that may be out of pragmatism as he's aware of what the Queen of Arendelle is capable of if she lets loose.
- It's said that Heat Wave has seen himself getting involved in a series of adventures through time and space and proving himself to be someone capable of doing great heroic deeds once he puts his mind to it, although he never lets go of his paranoid. Hearing of the tales of a heroic version who travels through time made Mick rather interested. He's since made friends with Ray Palmer over this matter and even got to have some praise from the Pantheonic Time Police, even if his recording of screwing over others, unwittingly or not, can cause some raised eyebrows. While Mick admits that he would love to go around different timelines, it's not out of being a hero, but mainly for the fun of it, with heroism being an extra bonus though he denies being one. That, and he would be delighted to come across ninjas.
- Captain Boomerang may as well be among the most unpopular Australian in the Pantheon and among the least disliked member of The Rogues mainly because he likes to act as ethnically stereotypical as he can and because, to simply put it, he's a massive asshole to anybody, though he does have a sense of affection for his son, Owen Mercer, whom he bought along as a herald. Most Australians, up to and including Steve Irwin would rather not talk about him, especially when Boomer tried to reenact Steve's stints as a crocodile hunter, much to everyone's dismay. It's so bad that the Australian government decided to list Boomer as an American pretending to be an Australian. Not that Digger minds it that much, in fact, he enjoys it.
- One interesting relationship that came about with Digger was with the Black Dragon leader, Kano, who leads his criminal regime through treachery, illegal arms dealing, assassinations, and backstabbings. Turns out both Kano and Digger are unpopular, at it seems as if neither like the other either. Digger might be a backstabbing coward on some occasions, but at least he sticks with the job until it's done and he thinks Kano's backstabbings and his crass and disgusting habits are a bit much for him whereas Kano himself has little patience for Digger's dickery and doesn't like him messing around with his boomerangs and being an over-the-top Australian during a job, in spite of Boomer's genuine talents as a mercenary. As it stands, neither like the other, albeit not as enemies, to everyone's surprise.
- Despite generally being a joke to most people, Rainbow Raider does have a few things going for him; with the right training and knowledge, his seemingly lame powers of controlling the color spectrum can actually be formidable, but because he's never really given a thought on that, his reputation manages to remain the same. On a more sympathetic note, he's actually a talented painter but is born colorblind, which has caused him emotional frustration, and takes it out by stealing famous paintings. While not giving up, there is some level of pity shown to him, particularly by the House of Craft who think that he should be given some form of help and understanding from him. Though nothing has come out of this as of now.

However, upon seeing what had been trapped by the Ancients, she gained sentience and placed Eggman in Cyberspace to protect him while she tried to deal with the threat. Eventually, though, Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles arrived at the Starfall Islands, the latter three ending up trapped in Cyberspace. Sonic and Sage end up at odds with each other throughout the adventure at the Starfall Islands, but his kindness to both others and herself caused her to propose an alliance with Sonic to Eggman in order to better get him out of Cyberspace. Eggman refuses, but once THE END breaks free and Sonic’s friends cure him of his Cyber-Corruption, she suggests that they may be able to defeat THE END together. Again, he refuses, but then reluctantly agrees this time. Sage and Sonic eventually end up fighting THE END in an Enemy Mine, with the former pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to stop its Taking You with Me attempt from destroying Sonic, The Earth and Eggman. Eggman is distraught by this, but he manages to recover Sage’s data and brings her back.
- After Eggman resurrected her with the coding he managed to salvage after she sacrificed herself to stop THE END, she would later be used by Eggman as a Nicole-esque AI in the Pantheon while he worked on building her a new digital form. One day, he vanished from his temple completely, left with only Metal Sonic to watch over her. Eggman ended up returning, particularly pleased with himself. Sage asked him what had occurred, and he couldn’t hide the smile on his face, explaining exactly where he had been. He had decided to not only build her a new body, but also surprise her by ascending her to the Pantheon as a proper deity. He tried to go for The Unfought, and Viridi was disgusted that someone who destroys nature would try to kick her out of the Pantheon. She launched a Reset Bomb at his Temple, but Eggman saw this coming, and used the Ultimate Annihilator belonging to one of his Archie Counterparts and obliterated it from existence before it even came close. Before this could escalate into full-blown war between the two, Dr. Wily arrived in his saucer and proposed an alternative trope: Sympathy for the Hero, citing her development towards Sonic and his friends throughout the events at the Starfall Islands, and her desire to be loved by Eggman and seeing the genuine friendship between the Blue Blur and his friends as beautiful to be major reasons why. This succeeded, cutting off Eggman’s retaliation, though Viridi hasn’t forgotten the incident. Not that he cares.
- Sage happens to have power over nearly any electronic she chooses. While near limitless when it comes to controlling them, she was unable to control the Titans and could only direct their aggression, so there are those that are beyond her abilities. She’s a major reason why Ultron has stopped being able to hijack Eggman’s machines at times, causing him to get highly frustrated and vow to go after her, pissing her creator off in the process. She’s outright scared of Sigma, as she fears what the Sigma Virus can do to her, yet won’t hesitate to go against him to protect her creator, especially after she learned that an alternate version of him was once enslaved by the Maverick, albeit temporarily. To satisfy his twisted curiosity, Brainiac wants information on the Ancients’ technology and if it is different from anything he encountered, and views her as a test subject as she interfaced with it, becoming partially made up of said technology as a result.
- As Eggman’s Game Incarnation sees her as a surrogate daughter, she has come into contact with Bowser, who had congratulated the Mad Scientist on multiple occasions ever since the fiasco on the Starfall Islands, having learned that he had salvaged her code after she sacrificed herself against THE END. Bowser, who has children himself, though only one being legitimately of his blood, can sympathize with and feel proud for him. After she obtained her new body, she ended up meeting him. Bowser, being protective of his own kids and minions, fully understood the lengths Eggman was willing to go to in order to bring her back and while she isn’t nearly as Boisterous as the Koopa King, the two still happen to get along fairly well. Sometimes, she will be see hanging out with Bowser Junior, as well as the rest of the Koopalings. Much like with Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, Sage is pretty affable towards the Mario Brothers, as well as Yoshi and Princess Peach, despite being enemies with them.
- Viewed by The Game Incarnation of Doctor Eggman to be his greatest creation to date, Sage has also interacted with Dr. Wily, Bass, Treble and Zero. She is somewhat grateful to Albert Wily for making sure an all-out war with Viridi didn’t begin over bringing her to the Pantheon, something that he waved off. He laughed. Despite everything and his villainy, as he furiously declared to Ra Moon, an enemy she shares with him, Wily does love his robots and can, in ways, see why Eggman went to said lengths in bringing back Sage and ascending her. She does not like Bass’ tendencies to sometimes attack his creator Wily. He actually smirked at this, saying that in the end, he is his own master, causing Wily to roll his eyes. And while having their moral differences, she notes that Wily and Zero have no ill will towards each other due to the former actually being decent and respectful of the latter’s decisions, and technically being related. That being said…
- There are a few beings from the universe Wily, Bass, Treble and Zero hail from that Sage absolutely despises, opinions that the four share with her. The aforementioned Sigma, Sirius, Ra Moon and most of all, Doctor Weil. Sirius is a megalomaniacal being that sees EVERYTHING around him as playthings, much to the chagrin of her and most who know him, though admits the fact that things can be stored in said black holes he creates can be useful if another situation like THE END occurs. Ra Moon is even worse. The Malevolent AI reminds Sage of THE END due to its intelligence, Omnicidal Mania and being An Ancient Evil. However, the worst among them, in her opinion, is Doctor Weil, who reminds her of THE END as well, but as human, and WORSE. Weil views her as Just a Machine, and how did she respond to his threats towards Eggman and herself? Taking control of Weil’s Machines directly, and completely wrecking any progress he’s made on his latest plot, throwing him back to square one.
- As what she wanted most other than to protect Eggman was to have a have a father-daughter relationship with him, she does not like any Abusive Parents in the Pantheon at all. She finds Ragyo Kiryuin to be completely and utterly abominable for very obvious reasons, and even Doctor Eggman admits that he finds her actions towards her daughters and decision to sell out humanity to the Life Fibers and perform Transhuman Treachery absolutely disgusting, and it certainly didn’t help that it reminded him of his Grandfather’s arrangement with Black Doom. Fire Lord Ozai’s treatment of Zuko and Azula also earned her scorn. Ozai, confident, dared her to try fighting him, only to find that his bending couldn’t harm her due to her being an Intangible Woman, and quickly found himself on the losing side of a Curb-Stomp Battle because of it, to the point where he had to retreat. And Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius wisely decided to stay away from her after hearing about that. Regarding the topic of Ghetsis, Sage finds his emotional abuse towards N to be awful. As a result, she pities N and dislikes Ghetsis.
- Despite this, she finds Shou Tucker and Professor Hojo just as bad as Ragyo Kiryuin on the Abusive Parents front, a feat that Sage didn’t think possible, once she learned what the two did to their families. The idea of someone caring so little for family, to the point of turning them into near-mindless abominable Chimera that are always in pain to be absolutely horrifying. Shou Tucker cannot fathom why she feels this way, causing her to let out a frustrated groan. Professor Hojo, on the other hand, has proved to be even more of an asshole by stating to Sage that he didn’t truly care for them in the first place, resulting in her blowing up the lab he was in, though he narrowly managed to escape. Even some of Professor Hojo’s Allies were unable to say that he didn’t deserve that, while most of his enemies, along with many people, believe that she should’ve done worse to him. FAR worse to him.
- Like the majority of the Pantheon and those who reside in it, she despises Zamasu, a sentiment she shares with her father. Zamasu’s hypocrisy and Omnicidal Maniac Knight Templar intentions reminds her of THE END, who claimed that the destruction it wrought was to bring order and neutrality. Zamasu’s hypocrisy is something she tends to ignore, and an incident where he tries to kill her almost ended with Eggman obliterating him with the Final Egg Blaster, a weapon he once used to destroy Star Clusters. It is only due to the fact that this would’ve likely caused Infinite Zamasu to emerge that he refrained from doing so. But not before sticking it to him, by asking him a barrage of questions, unusually tranquil and without his extremely usual Large Ham, much to the shock of everybody who knows this incarnation of the Mad Doctor, to the point where Sonic was genuinely wondering if his Arch-Enemy had finally gone completely off of the deep end. Dr. Eggman had delivered this barrage of questions to him by speaking through one of his robots as he’s well aware he would most likely be attacked by the Mad God. These questions drove Zamasu to a brief Villainous Breakdown, leaving Dr. Eggman feeling very smug, and not a single person felt sorry for the Mad God.
- Sage is outright afraid of Phazon and The Heartless and is enemies with The Flood. As Phazon and The Heartless can both infest electronics, computers, programs, machines and technology in general, this fear is valid. She’s also scared of Dark Samus too, because unlike Phazon, she is NOT a Sealed Evil in a Can in the Pantheon and is a cruel, cold and competent schemer who has a very impressive track record when it comes to success. The Flood were more manageable. While they too are also a Sealed Evil in a Can that can infect technology, she has nothing to fear from them due to the Flood not being in their Gravemind state and regularly aids in keeping them sealed. She briefly considered consulting Cortana for information about them, but after hearing of her Face–Heel Turn and the atrocities she committed, decided against this idea altogether. She’s quite grateful that Xehanort and his Incarnations, save for Young Xehanort, who has no interest in her whatsoever, aren’t really doing much with The Heartless anymore ever since certain events. She’s grateful for this because with their guidance, The Heartless would almost certainly succeed in infesting her, and the idea of that happening, whether it be from them, The Flood or Dark Samus and The Phazon, terrifies her completely.
- When it comes to beings from the World she hails from, while she hates THE END, who hasn’t ascended, Sage has found herself coming to utterly despise Mephiles The Dark and Iblis, the two split components of the Mad God Solaris, who is an Omnicidal Maniac who would love to cause and see the end of everything everywhere. Time, Space, All Life, Reality and Existence itself. Mephiles The Dark, the Mind of Solaris, greatly enjoys the thought of this occurring, much to her disgust. And it only got worse when she learned of his Complexity Addiction plot to fuel his own sadism, his murder of Sonic and successful re-merging with Iblis into Solaris. She is very thankful this didn’t carry into the Pantheon after their ascension. Iblis doesn’t have anything to say about this, being the brutal raw power of Solaris, and thus having no mind to control him. That being said, she does not delude herself into thinking she can take Mephiles The Dark or Iblis, let alone the Mad God Solaris himself. As a result, Sage prefers to oppose Solaris and his components from a distance. Eggman himself loathes Solaris and his components as well, and the two are more than willing to pull an Enemy Mine with Sonic and his Allies against them. On a more personal note, she does not like Shortfuse The Cybernik, who has made it his mission to kill Eggman, at all. As she sees Eggman as a father and her purpose and function is to protect him, she is very angry about what Shortfuse plans to do to him. As a result, she sees him as a threat to her creator’s life and wants get rid of the Cybernik to defend him.
- In an alternate universe, Metal Sonic went completely insane and fused with three failed Eggman Robots, which were previous duplicates of the Blue Blur, becoming Metallix and attempting to take his creator’s life. As a result, she has grown to be uneasy around Metal Sonic for quite a while, especially due to what the Alternate Universe version did. However, Eggman has assured her that Metal would not go down that path, and even played clips of him facing down Metallix for proof, stifling her worries. She has since helped Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, Bowser and Bowser Junior go against Metallix on multiple occasions, and he simply regards Sage as another worthless thing to crush, though he is a bit frustrated that he has yet another foe. She knows that it is very vital that Metallix does not get his hands on all seven Chaos Emeralds, as that could spell disaster for everyone. However, little does Sage know, Metallix has been seeking out other powerful artifacts to help him acquire the Chaos Emeralds and possibly even the Master Emerald.
- Another AI she sees as an enemy happens to be White Face, a…something that is capable of extremely dangerous Fourth Wall Breaking, and can harm and even kill her through her intangibility. Not to mention being creepy as hell. She has also gone against XANA, and the Lyoko Warriors are very distrusting of her: Something that she completely respects and understands given what they’ve been through regarding their Arch-Enemy. She is also bewildered by BEN. She nor Eggman have any clue as to what exactly BEN is, but given his nature, Sage finds it risky to try to get answers from him as she is unaware if his powers have any limits, and if he could drive her insane much like he did to the Copy of Majora’s Mask that he inhabits. She has also been seen in the Digital World that Digimon inhabit, visiting from time to time and getting along with the locals. It did take her some time to convince most of them that her entering wasn’t part of an Eggman plot, but she frequents that world regularly, yet opposes Lucemon as well as Omnicidal Maniac Digimon.
- Three weeks after she ascended into the Pantheon, Eggman detected something strange in the Digital World and sent Sage to investigate. She entered the digital world, learning that some Digimon noticed the same thing Eggman did. Sage explored for a while with a few less powerful Digimon backing her up, and located a secluded area in the Digital World. It was devoid of life despite there being clear evidence that it did exist there, and she flew into the sky only to get shot down by a massive red beam that carved through the ground. Many of the Digimon referred to the creature that fired the attack at Sage to look and be described differently depending on who spoke about it. While she refuses to elaborate on what she saw, she knew immediately before even seeing what shot her down what they were dealing with. All from the words of the Digimon accompanying her and what she learned regarding the adventures of the Starfall Islands and how the creature that had been sealed in Cyberspace there had Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder powers. She managed to escape the Digital Realm, but not all of the accompanying Digimon were able to get away. She immediately decided that she had to inform Dr. Eggman, Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles about what had transpired as soon as possible. Because THE END is returning.
- ”Such a beautiful friendship. A family born of love and not genetics. Everything I want... I wish I'd never seen this. It was so much easier accepting the future when they were simply enemies."

- Attempted to tell his brother Mitsuzane to reveal the truth about the Helheim Forest, not knowing that Micchy's on the dark side. That is... until The Shield knocked some sense into him.
- Has a disdain for both YHVH and Lucifer... ironically, he's of the same Lawful spectrum as the former.
- He's the man-crush of Oren Pierre Alfonzo, whom he saves his life in the Helheim Forest incident after fighting with several Inves. Oren pretty much thanked him for that.
Taylor Hebert
Taylor Hebert, Goddess of Those Forced Into Villainous Roles (Skitter, Weaver, Khepri)
- Intermediate Goddess, Greater Goddess as Khepri
- Symbol: A spider with a crown; the name of this symbol is a secret except to the highest levels of her church. It's the Queen Administrator, a representation of her "passenger", the source of her powers.
- Alignment: Wants desperately to be Chaotic Good, but circumstances and her pragmatism usually cause her to fluctuate between that alignment and Lawful Evil. Chaotic Neutral as Khepri, as her passenger doesn't realize there is such a thing as "other lifeforms that aren't threats if I don't control them".
- Portfolio: Terrible fortunes and necessity forcing amoral actions, Trying to act merciful and heroic despite nature of power more easily used as a weapon, simultaneously controlling multiple insect swarms, Consistently more competent than people assume due to cleverness with powers, Sheer refusal to give up, Horrible bug-related deaths, Chronic depression due to horrible peers
- Domains: Animal (insect), Cunning, Intellect, Self-Sacrifice
- Heralds: The New Undersiders, much of Earth Bet
- Followers: a whole gaggle of Benevolent Boss Anti Villains
- Allies: The less evil members of the House of Villainy, Magneto, Eren Yaeger, Mr. Freeze, Guts, Beerus, Leverage Consulting and Associates, Kirigutsu Emiya (initially an enemy, but Contessa stepped in and showed him the history of Earth Bet as well as Taylor's own. He now regards her as something of an apprentice)
- Rivals: Odio, most of the House of Heroism, who recognize both her virtues and less-than-admirable tactics. Cosmos is trying to get her to hang up her constant war footing, but unfortunately she's been burned by supposed Big Good females in the past. Also happy to punch Nazis with Captain America together, due to bad experience with the Empire Eighty-Eight and its descendant gangs; she has a standing deal of a two-minute head start when the situation ends.
- Enemies: Shinn Asuka, Johann Schmidt/Red Skull, YHVH and the Grand United Alliance of Law, (they remind her of everything she despises about authority figures. Technically, this would put her in Lucifer's camp, but she's ambivalent about his anarchy). She's also not a fan of the Joker, or Junko Enoshima & Monokuma either, and the feeling is mutual due to an... incident.
- Complicated Relationship with: Amy Dallon; they've moved on from their mutual loathing and into realizing they're not so different. This is also why they avoid each other.
- Odd friendship with: Izuku Midoriya
- Resigned to: The influence of Tzeentch and the Council of Shadows in her life
- Ascended on behalf of representatives of the House of Mentalism when they realized through data obtained from the G-Man's follower Contessa that she beat a planet-destroying Eldritch Abomination through psychological warfare. Was initially believed to be dead, hence why her ascension took so long as they kept looking in the afterlife (largely thanks to Contessa lying about having killed her). Upon being informed of what the pantheon is and her title, she is reported to have had no reaction, apart from "Okay. I'm used to it." Nobody's quite sure if she's happy she's able to be important again or upset that she's been forced back into a role she hates.
- Cursed so that invariably, the first responders to whatever action she takes are morons who naturally frame what she does in the worst possible moral light. The rest of the Pantheon knowing many of those same morons means that they have an official policy of listening to the second responders when figuring out what she's planning, but sadly, her pragmatism means the first responders aren't all that wrong.
- It doesn't help that, no matter where she goes, she ends up being caught up in the machinations of The Conspiracy and finds herself an extremely versatile playing piece as both scapegoat and agent. This one seems to be an echo of the Cauldron organization that kept on becoming involved with her when she was mortal.
- Was once made a target of the Joker and Junko Enoshima for driving into nihilistic rage towards existence, mistaking her bitter acceptance of her role and pragmatism for suppressed homicidal rage. While they did manage to reawaken Khepri by pretending to kill her father Danny, they also discovered the hard way that Taylor doesn't blame other people for the misery in her life, and were entirely the focus of her vengeful fury and Mind Control powers. It took them months to reconstitute, Junko was blinded and unable to enjoy it as Taylor ensured she would be in too much pain to really experience despair, and Joker got a face full of his own gas, though he managed to be brought back by Harley before brain death. Initially, it appeared they won anyway as Taylor's passenger began to eat her brain again, but as a deity Taylor's mind has enough existence away from her meat brain that hearing Danny calling to her was able to be mentally registered and she forced it back. To add insult to injury, as far as anyone can tell the Queen Administrator still doesn't affect Taylor's mind any more than it normally does - quite humiliating for all the conspirators.
- Was initially assigned to Motivations for Evil, but eventually, and after the above incident involving co-workers, was accepted fully into Ambiguity. Several members of the House of Villains promptly signed a petition requesting she be sorted back, as they didn't see the problem, but as it turns out that was just the reason Odio gave for ensuring the perpetual tug-of-war over followers given their similarities was at least not constant.
- It is believed the words "Meh, I can take her", or some other version in reference to her, even thought, makes that person fated to be utterly defeated by her.
- Regularly visits her mom on an alternate Earth, saying it’s the only thing she wants to do while at the Pantheon.
- Taylor eventually checked out the House of Religion and Faith out of curiosity, and met Chuck Shurley, Beerus and God note They asked what the trope was that she ascended under, note and she told them it was “Forced into villainy” and tells them all the times she was “forced to be a villain” (the time she had to find out information on The Undersider’s boss, the time she had to become a warlord to save Dinah, the time she had to torture Triumph to get the mayor to protect Brockton bay, etc.”) The gods (except for Beerus) disagreed with her position (with Chuck Shurley being a little rude about it), and they said that all of her actions were her own choices, not anyone one else’s (She chose to stay with The Undersiders to get information instead of letting higher-ups handle it, she chose to become a warlord to help Dinah instead of becoming a hero to assist her, she chose to torture Triumph instead of helping him and letting the mayor make his own decisions.) She denied this, and said she had to do it for the greater good. This sparked a heated argument, and Taylor quickly left in a huff back to her temple. When she arrived, she was visited by Beerus, who gave her some instant noodles and a apology. When Taylor asked what for, he said that he understood how a path taken wasn’t always a bright one. When Taylor asked him to elaborate, Beerus had this to say...
Beerus: I’m saying I know what it’s like to oversee the nasty but necessary.
- "All of the above? None of the above? Does it matter? Some of us wear the villain label with pride, because they want to rebel against the norms, because it's a harder, more rewarding road to travel, or because being a 'hero' often means so very little. But few people really want to see themselves as being bad or evil, whatever label they wear. I've done things I regret, I've done things I'm proud of, and I've walked the roads in between. The sliding scale is a fantasy. There are no simple answers."

- Enemies: Ashe Dalmasca, Squall Leonhart, Artorias, Lightning, Hawke (Dragon Age), Odin, YHVH, Sora, Gilgamesh, Arturia Pendragon, Ashe
- Seeks to overthrow the Main House and give himself the Title of "Dynast King". At first it seemed to be a purely villainous goal and he has not denied it. But he has upheld his own virtues of Honor, Love and Determination to be able to do what he believes to be the right thing to do to free the Pantheon from "The Tyranny of The Gods".
- Tried to win people over to his side with a speech similar to this one. So far it seems that his Enemies had to go out of their way to convince others that he was villainous.
- He has shown a large distaste for YHVH, his angels, and anyone similar to him, because his goal is, in his words:
"The Pantheon will know a new Dynast King, and Man will keep his own history! The tyranny of the Gods is ended! We shall be their puppets no more! The freedom for which we have longed is at hand!”
- Though on the same token he does not wish to join any of the other alliances as to him "Good" is limiting, "Evil" just for the sake of it is worthless and "Chaos" is not what he is after.
- He has allied with Valentine and Bulygin though he has tried to convince them to break away from The Great Will, time will tell what becomes of it.
- Has shown hatred for those that opposed him in his Realm and has since plotted for their destruction.
“Your lives are forfeit, and your insurgence along with them. This Pantheon will again know order. For good and all, I shall put your futile attempts at rebellion to an end.”
- While he and Gilgamesh have similar goals in mind, he believes that the so-called King of Heroes has failed to serve his people well and sees him as a petulant child throwing his toys around when he has a tantrum.
- Has allied with The Illusive Man and Solidus Snake as he agrees that only Humanity should be in charge of its own Freedom and Destiny.
- His temple has been relocated at his Sky Fortress and with the help of his allies he can now become "The Undying" at Will there. It provides him with the power to destroy those that would dare to invade.
- Despite his hatred for most Gods, he has treated those that honestly want to help humanity with Respect after his dealing with Venat. Though it will not stop his attempt to conquer their realms, he attempts to have them come to his side first rather than be flat out hostile.
- Due to both sharing the same name and he not seeing her as able to do what is necessary he has shown dislike for Ashe.
"Such a woman is not fit to bear the burden of Rule. Weep for Freljord if you defy my Reign, for She will be lost."
- Shares similar sentiments for Arturia Pendragon. He often questions her ability to deal with Her Subjects, if she dealt with them as he would then her tragedies would not have befallen her. When questioned on this he gave one response.
"What am I to do with those who would oppose me...but show them death?"
- Vayne has been seen in the cross-dimension created by Shinryu. He's a bit behind on the struggle between Cosmos and Chaos, as well as Materia and Spiritus, but he will make good use of his time there.
Zaheer
Zaheer, God of Enlightened Antagonists
- Intermediate God
- Symbol: Guru Laghima's locket
- Theme Song: Theme of the Red Lotus
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, but can lean towards Chaotic Evil
- Portfolio: Empowered Badass Normal, Ascended Acolyte, Warrior Poet, Villainous Friendship, Enlightened Antagonist, Airbending, Unholy Matrimony, The Unfettered, Flight, Advocator of Anarchy, Highly Competent, Charismatic and Principled
- Domains: Air, Flight, Chaos, Freedom, Void
- Heralds: Ghazan, Ming Hua, his beloved P'Li, and the rest of the Red Lotus
- Allies: Lucifer, Xenagos
- Partner: Omastar
- Enemies: Kuvira, Korra, Aang, Asami Sato, Mako, Bolin, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, The Joker, Rei Shingetsu, most of the House of Royalty, all authority figures, The Grand United Alliance of Evil, The Grand United Alliance of Law, The Grand United Alliance of Machines
- Respects: Lucifer
- Uncertain Relationship with: V
- Avoids: Asura, Mithra, Vegeta
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: The Grand United Alliance of Good (when needed against the GUAE or the GUAL)
- The Order of the White Lotus is an ancient philosophical society in the World of Avatar, consisting of world-traveled masters seeking beauty and truth beyond the boundaries set by the four nations. Originally its existence was generally shrouded in secrecy; however, following the end of the Hundred Year War, they began to act out in the open as supporters of Avatar Aang's efforts to broker peace between the war-torn nations. This ran afoul of certain members, who felt that the organization had been subverted into acting as the Avatar's enforcers, leading to the creation of the antigovernment absolutist splinter faction known as the Red Lotus Society.
- Zaheer became a member of the Red Lotus, eventually creating a powerful terror cell within the organization who would carry out its goals of either converting or killing Avatar Korra, with hopes of destabilizing the world's governmental structures, ushering in anarchy, and opening the links between the physical realm and the Spirit World. Their first attempt saw them all get arrested and locked away in separate prisons designed to disable their abilities so they had no hope to escape. However, thanks to the Harmonic Convergence in 171 AG, Zaheer gained Airbending powers; this enabled him to escape, free his comrades, and try again. Still, as deadly a threat as they posed, Zaheer would be caught and incarcerated, and his teammates all killed; however, his group did terrible damage in the process which culminated in creating the exact opposite of the conditions the Red Lotus hoped to achieve.
- After being ascended to the Pantheon and meeting Lucifer, Zaheer signed the entire Red Lotus up with the GUAC. None of them protested.
- Avoids Asura, due to the multi-armed god finding similarities between Zaheer's attempt to kidnap Korra, and what the Seven Deities did to his daughter Mithra. He also avoids Mithra herself, for that matter, taking no chances of incurring Asura's wrath.
- Has an odd relationship with V, due to their differing beliefs on anarchy, with Zaheer wanting to completely tear down order and leaders forever, and V simply wishing to destroy and replace the established order with something better.
- Informed upon his ascension by Katara that she would shove his poison down his throat if he ever tried to go after Korra again, or especially Aang for that matter.
- The chaos caused by his group's murder of the Earth Queen saw one woman from Zaofu resolve to restore order and save her kingdom no matter what the cost, and his poisoning of Korra during their battle rendered her unable to do anything to stop or temper Kuvira's ambitions. The two share a hall and are both antagonists of Korra's team, but they are in no way fond of each other. Zaheer has been deeply ashamed of his role in bringing about the rise of the dictator of the Earth Empire, and Kuvira despises him for putting her country into the tailspin which she had to act to solve and ultimately driving her down the road to darkness.
- While Aang was originally delighted that another Airbender ascended to the Pantheon, upon being informed of his actions by Korra, he now has a heavy dislike of Zaheer due to his trying to kill Korra, disgracing the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads, and threatening the reborn Air Nation and his family.
- Upon meeting the Joker, he was disgusted by his claims to be an "agent of chaos," and has been attempting ever since to remove him from the Pantheon.
- Is aware that his path to understanding and realizing the teachings of Guru Laghima, and in particular the conclusion of abandoning all attachments to the point of chaos being his only principle, have earned him the disgust of Prince Vegeta IV. This is another would-be enemy Zaheer knows he can't take and has instructed his Red Lotus heralds to avoid like the plague.

- Two young girls were kidnapped by their father, who killed their mother and his associates after losing his money and job in a stock market crash. He takes them to a cabin in the woods, intent on killing his little girls before offing himself. This would not come to pass; the father was suddenly attacked and killed by a mysterious entity that took notice of the two girls and decided to raise and protect them herself. The girls, Victoria and Lily Desange, are found five years later and are in the process of being taken under by their uncle and aunt, Lucas and Annabel who intend to rehabilitate and improve the mental state of the girls after seeing their isolation left them feral and reclusive. Unfortunately, this information wasn't taken well by the entity, whom Victoria and Lily call "Mama", who would stalk and take the time to take her girls back as well as brutally kill anyone who got in her way.
- As Annabel would later find out, "Mama" was once Edith Brennan, a 19th-century patient from St. Gertrude's Asylum who had her baby taken away from her. In rage and anguish, she sought to take her child back, killing a nun in the process, causing her to be chased to a cliff by a mob. In desperation, Edith jumped off the cliff but was caught in midair by a tree branch, snagging and killing her baby and leaving Edith to fall and drown in a lake. Returning as a ghost, she searched for her baby's body to no avail, causing her fractured sanity to dwindle further into feral madness and rage. Furthermore, Victoria coming to see Annabel and Lucas as her new parental guardians caused Edith to fly into jealousy and unease, causing her to attack the two in her attempt to take back who she saw as her daughters. After a grueling chase leading back to the cliff where she died, Edith would be reunited with the corpse of her biological child, seemingly accepting its death before Lily's call drove her back to wanting her new child and injuring their aunt and uncle when they tried to interfere. In the end, Edith was able to take Lily with her while Victoria opted to remain with Lucas and Annabel. The mother and daughter took a second plunge with both hitting the branch and dissolving into a flock of moths, with Edith finally accepting her fate while Lily seemed to reincarnate as a blue moth watching over her older sister.
- With her tale in the mortal realms coming to an end, Edith would eventually find another life, it just so happened that it would be far more different from the world she inhabited. Unfortunately for her, she still retained her ghostly form and shape as well as her feral and vicious nature. That said, she wasn't alone, for Lily had joined alongside the ghastly mother in becoming a resident of the Pantheon, with Lily being her "mama's" herald and Edith herself being content with at least having one of her children to look after. Befitting of their tale and background, the duo chose to dwell in an undisclosed forest in the divine realms as their personal herald, with Edith doing anything she could to provide for her surrogate daughter. Still, she would develop her own reputation in the Pantheon for inspiring a couple of ghost stories about someone lurking in the forests during evening and nighttime with an occasional gurgle and even sobbing.
- Edith is one of the more elusive, yet polarizing ghosts in the Pantheon. On one hand, those who were unlucky enough to encounter her have noted that she was an absolutely terrifying specter who would kill her victims in an excessively brutal fashion, namely by either hugging them tight or by breaking their necks quickly or slowly depending on her anger, not to mention her abnormal limbs and her ability to contort them unnaturally as well as fly makes her even more creepy. On the other hand, she's not evil, but mainly a recluse who is only concerned with just looking after Lily, and her only real desire is to just be a decent mother, it just so happens that in addition to being a ghost, she was a mental asylum patient whose grip on reality was stunted and she's left emotional and scarred, in addition to possessing unnatural body anatomy akin to that of Marfan Syndrome, though her viciously territorial nature means that side of her is rather not often referenced by most. That said, Edith, being a mainly neutral, if still a very dangerous being, meant that she's mainly on her own in the Pantheon aside from Lily, though background details do interest a number of figures who would like to know more about her.
- Naturally, Edith's supernatural physiology meant that she was going to attract attention from those like her, especially the Hall of Ghosts. Though strangely enough, her isolated nature means she's closer to being in, say, the House of Nature than that of Undead and Phasmata, and few ghosts actually get to encounter Edith, though that may be fortunate as she doesn't take visitors kindly at all. This wouldn't stop some ghosts from at least feeling bad about her, such as Caspar, a very friendly being who would want to get along with whoever he meets. Fortunately, being intangible to physical contact means he can get away from Edith, but it doesn't stop him from being terrified at how vicious she was when he tried to approach Lily. Menma was similarly frightened by Edith, but otherwise felt bad and even shed tears when she learned of her story. She reckoned that she and Lily would make good friends, but based on her conversation with Caspar, she's too scared to even go near the woods where Edith and Lily lived. Aside from that, the desire to reunite with someone is a feeling Menma knows all too well, given her goal of wanting to reunite with her friends, the Super Peace Busters, back after her death caused a fracture between the friends, she doesn't have any animosity towards Edith and she hopes that the ghost does find peace in some way.
- Her horrifying appearance would lead others to mistake her as an evil spirit when the truth is that she's simply really territorial about her and her adopted daughter and that her appearance might have been the result of a physical health condition during her mortal life, as attested by some witnesses and those who took the time to learn about Edith. Still, it didn't stop the tortured soul from getting some comparisons to someone like King Boo, a truly malicious and vile ghost with plans for world domination. Initially, King Boo was planning on having Edith as a potential ally, but when that failed, he thought of kidnapping Lily in an attempt to forcibly coerce an alliance. The result was Edith letting out an ungodly shriek and attacking King Boo with such ferocity that the bigger ghost was taken aback and was forced to hastily retreat out of annoyance. To date, King Boo still sees this particular incident as his most embarrassing one and seeks to get back at Edith one day. On Edith's end, she does remember King Boo pretty well, but her main priority is Lily's well-being and this doesn't concern her with the evil ghost's presence that much. Dark Danny, a future incarnation of Danny Phantom is another evil ghost who lashes out at the past due to his anguish over losing his loved ones. This was surprisingly less antagonist as Dark Danny felt a little pitiful for Edith's situation and decided she wasn't worth being enemies with, though he still keeps himself off her territory as Edith's anger is one of the few things that does unnerve him to an extent.
- She's not the only ghost that is motivated by an earthly desire and the reason why she remained in the mortal realm for so long, but this did play a role in further damaging her mental state of mind, which was already fractured, to begin with. It's something she has in common with two other ghosts named Kayako Saeki and Sadako Yamamura whose reasons for being tethered to Earth even after their deaths are somewhat related; familial tragedy that ended with them emotionally crushed and dying without any personal resolution. The main difference came in motivation; Kayako and Sadako were motivated by vengeance and retribution as they were mistreated, disrespected, and then killed off whereas Edith was driven to find her child, unaware that they were latched onto the branch that hit them and would later be recovered by authorities. While the three have barely encountered each other, the comparisons between the three are frequently commented on and Kayako could at least express a small form of respect for a fellow mother who just wants to love and nurture her child, even if they would fight against each other over territorial disputes. Like Edith, Hisako is another ghost driven by love, in her case being her village and its people and while vengeful, she only targets those who directly disrespected her grave and village. Fortunately, she and Edith don't come into contact due to both of them focusing on their own matters and Hisako understanding and sympathizing with Edith's desire to just be alone with her daughter.
- Of course, being a ghost meant that some people would take interest in her tale and her status as an urban myth according to those who have ventured into the forests she claims as her territory. A good number of accounts regarding the sightings of Edith were archived by the Bedtime Stories Crew which have made a documentary about the ghost and circumstances that led her to become a feral and despondent ghoul. Of course, they are a bit hesitant to give the forests a visit, but even so, they feel that it would be for the best to just leave Edith alone. Ghost hunters have varying thoughts on Edith with some wanting to capture/eliminate her for reasons that range from either her being too dangerous to be left unchecked or to finally "rescue" Lily and make plans to rehabilitate her. The Ghostbusters got the feeling that Edith would be one of the more challenging ghosts they'd contend with if they ever met but ultimately decided against it unless something damning happens on Edith's end. Their aim is to monitor ghosts and while Edith is someone to keep checks on, they figured that trying to capture her would not end well either for them or for Lily. Luigi also has a lot of experience in capturing ghosts, but otherwise tends to be fearful about them for the most part and he thought Mama was one of the scariest ghosts he has seen. That said, he did feel sad about her backstory and respected her desire to just be left alone in her home. That, and the fact that she is opposed to King Boo means that while she isn't an ally, Luigi can at least take solace that he doesn't have to deal with Edith directly and wishes the best for her and Lily.
- While incredibly violent, there is a clear indication that Edith is a victim of some form of mental and physical illness that rendered her rather frail and damaged in more than just appearances. And it wasn't just that either; her environment and being put in a mental asylum furthered her crippling health, not helped by the fact that this was in the 19th century when mental health wasn't just poorly understood, but we're even treated as taboos and the patients treated horrendously as the symptoms were seen as curses and diseases that were to be cured through vicious means. That said, her current nature and physique as a ghost means she doesn't have much concern for the House of Madness and Insanity as they're far away from her designated home ground and there's really no place of interest for the ghost. On the other hand, those working in the House express some interest in Edith, whom they see as having symptoms of Marfan Syndrome thanks to her elongated and frail physique even back in her mortal shell, and would like to learn more about that aspect of her if they could. That said, they're aware that it's not a wise move to go to Mama's residence, as attested by her victims whom she maims and slaughters with extreme violence, though that's not going to stop some rather brave or overconfident psychologists from trying anyway.
- As a tragic being whose feral behavior and ghostly nature were because of actions and events out of her control, Edith is usually given pity and sympathy by some deities and residents in the Pantheon, though trying to bond and connect with her over that matter is next-to-impossible. There are some villainous figures, such as Charles zi Brittania, Bishop Mozgus, and Darth Vader who have had their actions influenced by wanting to provide for their children in some capacity, even if they did end up causing them harm in some way, but knew that an alliance with Edith was pointless as she simply has no interest and their ambitions would be something she would have trouble either understanding or putting focus on. Additionally, the Dracula of Hotel Transylvania understands why Edith is so embittered and would even give her an invitation to his hotel in an effort to make her feel welcomed and accepted, but quickly realizes that would be difficult as Edith only just wants to tend to her field, cabin and Lily and seems to have trouble adjusting to anywhere else outside her territory. For now, it seems that Edith chooses to be one of the most isolated deities in the Pantheon, only concerned with her own needs and the safety of her adopted daughter, though some could understand why she wants to remain that way.
- It's a surprise to many that despite her ferocious appearance and infamy, her main desire is to have a family she could look after. This makes Edith one of the many deities that has been taken interest in by the House of Family and Relatives, who feel that while her isolated nature and preference are understandable, it's still for the best that she takes some sort of help from others of the sake of her and Lily. Unfortunately, being a savage beast when angered or interrupted meant that there was little that could be done for her. Surprisingly, Edith does know about the House and even Lily has expressed some form of interest in going there so long as she's with her, but then another problem came in; Edith was not really sure of what to think of the House. Being an unfamiliar place for her, Edith feels that she may end up scaring others due to her reputation and that she worries that Lily might end up becoming too close and friendly with other people. Despite Edith meaning well for her daughter, the idea of someone else spending more time with her could inspire a great deal of jealousy and rage within the ghost and she'll do anything to get that back. That said, with Victoria choosing to side with Annabel and Luke and the former somewhat earning the respect of the ghost, there is a chance that Edith may come to accept that Lily would want to be played and be taken care of by the residents of that House as well as the many kids in the House of Childhood and Adolescence, though chances have been pretty slim, given Edith's reclusiveness.
- Like any other good parent, Edith hates child abusers and those who are willing to commit filicide, as demonstrated by her killing Jeffrey just as he was able to kill Victoria and Lily. That said, her extreme possessiveness and tautological desires can be considered abusive parenting in its own way, though given Edith's impaired mental state, it comes off as unintentional; she does want to protect her daughters after all, and is willing to respect their wishes if that's what they desire. Thankfully, Edith doesn't have to deal with Abusive Parents all that much for the same reasons as why she doesn't really meet anyone much, but she's been strangely nosy about learning about some in an effort to ensure she can prepare herself to defend Lily from them should they ever come barging in her territory. So far, she's learned about Lady Tremaine, Fire Lord Ozai, and Ghetsis, and she hates all of them a lot, mainly because their ways of wanting control reminds her of her own persecution and she saw as imprisonment and their disregard and abusive treatment of their own children makes Edith want to gouge out their eyes in rage, but has shown remarkable patience for someone as temperamental as her, even if she makes true to her promise if they ever dare to endanger her and Lily. And while she's someone who tries her best to be as good of a parent as she can despite her fractured mind, many still doubt that Edith would be a suitable parental figure for Lily, though no action has been taken out of simply not wanting to incur the ghost's wrath, hence they decided on trying to see if they can simply help Lily out through other means, which is something that Edith doesn't mind so long as her daughter doesn't get hurt or threatened.
- She also has a place in the Hall of Tragedy and Despair.

- Pities: Davoth, Luna
- Annoyed By: Excalibur
- There are many variations of the Arthurian Legend. In one odd variation, King Arthur was but a construct created by Merlin for the sake of ruling the kingdom, and one who ended up being corrupted by the scabbard of Excalibur into a tyrant terrorizing his people with demonic creatures. But perhaps an even bigger divergence was the fact that Merlin had a grandaughter named Merlina, who inherited the position of court mage. When said girl learned that the kingdom was part of a story destined to end by its fall, she fell into despair. And so she sought to steal the Scabbard and extend its power of immortality over the whole land to make it eternal at the cost of casting it into eternal darkness. To do so, she summoned Sonic the Hedgehog from another world to defeat King Arthur. What she didn't count was the heroic speedster turning on her and stopping her plan. But after beating her, Sonic made her realize that everything will end someday, but that you should enjoy those days to the fullest.
- The Merlin of the Pantheon, who is a composite of all of his incarnations in the multiverse couldn't help but feel sorry that his granddaughter had fallen into such sorrow and was glad to see that she understood the error in her ways. Yet as he watched over Sonic's adventures, he noticed that not only was she one main antagonist of the heroic hedgehog's tales who was female, but that unlike a great majority of them, she had genuinely good intentions instead of a base lust for power. And so, he proposed to the Court that she be brought in as the representative of Comparatively Innocent Villainesses, which was accepted.
- Merlina was surprised to see Sonic coming back to her world to lead her to a place called the 'Pantheon'. Upon arriving there, she was even more shocked to see her grandfather and promptly began to deeply apologize for her actions. But instead of berating or punishing her, the Enchanter gave her a reassuring pat on the back as he told her he knew she only wanted to save the kingdom. After which, she accepted her new title as a reminder of her misdeeds, and swore to atone for them by working alongside her grandfather. Tough some wondered if she had inherited her grandfather's condition, she was quick to answer she just had some prophetic abilities.
- Much to her surprise, she also soon met another, female version of Merlin, who is part of the outlaw group known as the Seven Deadly Sins. Despite that initial shock, she quickly began to form a similar familiar bond with the older magician, especially upon hearing that the latter's people got completely destroyed through punishment from a demon and a goddess. Tough Merlin quickly told the younger woman to never even think of calling her grandmother.
- Sonic himself was quite happy to work with her again in the Pantheon despite her previous manipulations, as he's not the type to hold grudges and it helps that she previously helped him and his friends. She was rather surprised to learn that several of his friends were similar to her version of the Knights of the Table Round and Lady Nimue, but this hasn't put a damper on her relationships with them. Though she can't help but be surprised by the differences between counterparts, especially with Amy Rose's flightiness compared to the lady of the lake.
- Naturally, this bond led to her making enemies with many of Sonic's foes. But the one case where this really goes personal is with Erazor Djinn, another inhabitant of a story who sought the power to rule it, though unlike her he did it for purely selfish reasons. And so, she has sworn that she would stand in the way of his plans to control all stories.
- She was more than shocked to learn that there were not one, but two 'real' versions of King Arthur in the Pantheon, especially since one of them, Artoria, is a woman. Upon meeting both in person, she once again bowed to apologize for her actions towards the kingdom of Britain. However, they quickly forgave her, as they realized she wanted to save her homeland just as they sacrificed everything to protect it. Especially since Artoria herself went off the deep end trying to make Camelot eternal in an alternate timeline. As such, they more than glad to welcome her in their services. By contrast, she highly disturbed by Saber Alter, as her Artoria's corrupted self remind her of the tyrant her grandfather's creation became, though she has been much less evil ever since joining Chaldea. For her part, she doesn't appreciate being judged by "a foolish girl who nearly cast Camelot into darkness".
- Naturally, returning under Arthur's service means she has been working with Knights of the Round Table, who don't hold her past against her. At first, she was deeply uncomfortable with Lancelot, as she knew that his affair with the queen was the first step to Britain's ruin. However, he soon approached her that she was entirely right to admonish him for his mistake, but that he was working to atone for them just like she was. Ever since then, they have been working better together.
- By contrast, she despises either versions of Mordred and Morgan le Fay for being the direct cause of the fall of Camelot, and having it done quite deliberately. Naturally, she has sworn that she wouldn't allow them to continue their wickedness in the Pantheon. This extended to the Heartless when she heard from Merlin that they (temporarily) destroyed the version of Camelot from their own reality. Morgan just scoffed at her, saying that she had no room to lecture her after she tried to usurp control of Britain for herself. While the comparison disturbed Merlina, she holds that unlike her, Morgan only ever thought of herself.
- She was surprised to learn that one version of Galahad inhabited the body of a young girl named Mash Kyrielight who works for Chaldea, an organization that protect humanity. The mage has proposed to help with that mission, though she was very disturbed to hear about a Camelot in an alternate timeline which indeed stood eternal, but at the cost of Artoria becoming a tyrannical goddess far worse than even the Black Knight.
- The talking and walking Excalibur local to the Pantheon grew absolutely outraged when he heard that she used 'his' scabbard for her nefarious plan. Naturally, he quickly rushed to Merlina to give her a lecture. At first, teh wizard wasn't too bothered, as her world's version of Excalibur was also sentient and rather annoying. She quickly changed her tune after listening to the legendary weapon's rambling, grating and inconsistent monologue for what seemed like hours. After he was finally satisfied and left, she promptly decided to never have anything to do with him, no matter how mythical of an artifact he is.
- Her dedication to Camelot's safety also caused her to develop a wariness of Vlad III and Doctor Doom, of all. Each of them (or at least an alternate version of the first) went through a venture when they were send backwards through time to Camelot and worked to bring it down, with the vampiric version of the Impaler actually succeeding at it. While the Pantheon's 'main' version of Vlad rejects his reputation of a vampire and thus has little chances of being a treat to Arthur's Britain, it's a whole another story for the ambitious and megalomaniacal Doctor Doom. On the flipside, she is thankful to Tony Stark for having stopped Doom's plans, tough she was very surprise to learn of an alternate timeline where he was stranded in Camelot, became King Arthur's successor and brought about a millenia-spanning golden age. The knowledge that her dream of an eternal kingdom was achieved without any ill deeds in another universe has filled her with much mixed feeling, but she still appreciated the good he's done for the kingdom, and so she occasionaly calls on the multibillionaire when there's trouble.
- While she has developped beyond her obsession of making her kingdom eternal, she still vehemently oppose anyone who would try to hasten demise of people and worlds. So naturally, she despise the Grand Alliance led by Nekron, and amongst them, Dhuum is hellbent on punishing her for having once tried to get rid of the concept of death. Tough she can't help but be uneasy towards even more benevolent embodiment of death such as Death of the Endless.
- She was surprised to learn of other people who sought to make their worlds eternal, such as the fallen god Davoth, who sought to bring immortality to his creations out of a fear of being alone. Though she heavily sympathizes with his motivation, especially his dark powers along with his army of demonic monsters reminds her of when she was just as misguided. He himself is disapointed that she gave up on such a laudable goal, though he's also interested in potentially claiming the Scabbard of Excalibur for his own goals.
- Another being she holds in a similar view is the mysterious woman known as Luna, who had become disgusted with the concept of death and sought to get rid of it, even if it was at the cost of people's humanity. She too wishes Luna could see the error in her actions, while the latter is disapointed that the mage no longer has the mindset to help her on her quest to make an eternal world. She also has met with the android Casshern, who had also learned the importance of things ending someday. He has been doing his best to help Merlina cope with the inevitable end of her home.
- On the other hand, she has nothing but disgust for Yhwach. While he too want to remove the concept of death by fusing the mortal world and the afterlife, the way he treats the lives of both his enemies and his subordinates make it clear he only thinks of himself, and his motivation is the fear of losing his life. She is hellbent that the Scabbard should never end in the hands of a tyrant like him.
- She was very disturbed to hear the tale of the Punishing Bird, the Judgement Bird and the Big Bird, who took to extreme measures to protect their home forest after hearing the prophecy that a great monster would destroy it, only to become that very monster and cause every inhabitants to flee it. She cannot help but be disturbed that they may very well be what she could have become: an insane monster 'protecting' a kingdom empty of joy. But still, she takes it as her responsability to stop them from doing any more damage.
Tychus Findlay
Tychus Findlay, God Of Having Been Trapped in Villainy (Convict 626, Scoundrel, Notorious Outlaw)
- Lesser God
- Symbol: His Marine armor and chain gun
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Portfolio: Tattooed Crook, Criminal with A Job, Boisterous Bruiser, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Wields Chain Gun, Forcedly Encased in his Armor, Secretly Worked for Mengsk, Pilot the Odin
- Domains: Forced, Villainy
- Allies: Jim Raynor, Heavy, Serious Sam
- Enemies: Arcturus Mengsk, Amanda Waller
- He was an old partner-in-crime with Jim Raynor, until he was eventually arrested. He was pleased to be released later, free to drink with his buddy again and help him make money off the artifacts. However, it was a ploy; when he was allowed to be free by Arcturus Mengsk, the condition was that he had to assassinate Sarah Kerrigan, or else Mengsk would shut down his major organs via his suit. Thus, Raynor had to shoot him after de-infesting her in Char, knowing about Zeratul's warning of the prophecy which requires her survival.
- He ascended from the afterlife due to his forced villainy, both figuratively and literally. However, because his kill-switch is no longer active in the Pantheon, Tychus turned against Mengsk and rejoined his buddy.
- He is sometimes seen drinking with the Heavy Weapons Guy due to their fascination with big guns.
- He has an interesting relationship with Sarah Kerrigan; on the one hand, he was ordered by Mengsk to assassinate her in exchange for his freedom. On the other hand, Kerrigan wished that he went through with it; she believes she deserves no less. Admittedly, he had second thoughts about carrying the mission out and tried to persuade Jimmy out of a mission to Char, and even stated that he would rather have died by the hand of someone like Jim than to be killed by his controller.
- Despite no longer working for Mengsk, he is still unable to remove his armor, as it is welded shut. So far, little progress have been made in freeing him from his suit. Fortunately, he has a bathroom system in his suit.
- He once heard that Raynor partnered with someone named Serious Sam since he reminds him of Tychus himself. When Tychus met Sam, he found he couldn't agree more. With their love of guns, they will both help fight the Zerg infestation.
- In one universe, Tychus died and was left behind on Char, where he was later resurrected and infested by the Zerg. Unlike Stukov, he was assimilated by the Swarm with memories of him being shot by Raynor. This memory was always lasting, and he ended up losing himself to the influence of the Hive Mind.
Tychus: I sure hope she was worth it... Jimmy...
- On the other hand, one universe showed him to have escaped from New Folsom, likely avoiding the deal with Mengsk.
- Tychus is known to be a smoker; more specifically of cigars. However, when he is sent to fight in the Nexus, he can't have his cigar on the battlefield. Fortunately, he's good at smuggling the smokes, although it can go horribly wrong easily; for example, it might fall into his armor and he'll start freaking out and cursing a blue streak.
- He loves big war machines, due to having to pilot the Odin, though in his opinion, some of the Mechas available to the Pantheon pale in comparison to the Odin, with its heavy cannons, missile launchers (which always launch missiles in a barrage), and a dedicated nuke cannon.
- Though he is technically a criminal sent to fight in his armor, he admits to not like the idea of working with Amanda Waller. For example, her having a remote bomb on the Suicide Squad if they don't obey her is similar to Mengsk having had a trigger to shut down his major organs if he didn't kill Kerrigan.
- While he's not the type to be very sentimental, he sympathizes with Sophitia Alexandra due to her being forced by Nightmare and Tira to do their bidding or else they would harm her daughter.
- He was very annoyed when Lucio reminded him of all the times he broke Raynor's jukebox. "Look, it's just one damn jukebox, kid; if ya like it, buy another one. Should be plenty of 'em in the Pantheon. And that money ya got from DJing should do the job..."
- "Hell, it's about time!"
Demigods
Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris
Melvin Harris, God of Sympathetic Villain Deaths (Big Smoke, El Grando Smokio)
- Demigod
- Symbol: His hat
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Dipped into Neutral Evil when he sided with C.R.A.S.H.)
- Portfolio: Affably Evil, Ambition Is Evil, Big Eater, Big Fun, Face–Heel Turn, Fat Bastard, Flunky Boss, Unwitting Pawn, Walking Spoiler
- Domains: Loyalty, Betrayal, Drugs, Fame, Money, Food
- Allies: Tommy Vercetti, Those who fell into ambition
- Enemies: The House of Law and Justice, Franklin Clinton, Trevor Phillips, Niko Bellic, Dimitri Rascalov
- On good terms: The House of Religion and Faith
- Complicated Relationships: Carl Johnson
- Melvin Harris, also known as Big Smoke, was once the right hand man of Sweet Johnson and a loyal member of the Grove Street Families. However, Smoke later was corrupted by the ambition of being powerful and famous and decided to side with the corrupt cops of C.R.A.S.H. and organized the death of the mother of his best friends. However, even after he got what he wanted, he was struck down by CJ and realized that everything he did was become he became addicted to power and died saying that everyone was going to remember his name. His friend CJ regrets killing him but it was something that had to be done.
- The House of Law and Justice has kept a close eye on Big Smoke after his rise of power in the crack empire. However, since his mortal his influence has died down overtime and he might not even try to regain his power back.
- CJ was confused when he saw his old buddy Smoke around the pantheon and actually confronted him. He hasn't forgotten that he was the one that betrayed him but Smoke actually regrets his actions. However, they decided to cut ties and never speak again.
- Big Smoke ascension didn't sit well with a few other deities from his home franchise. Franklin found Smoke having too many similarities with Stretch, the man who constantly set up his friend Lamar and Trevor doesn't like him because of how he betrayed his friends (He doesn't take betrayal lightly). Niko Bellic is also another one who doesn't like Smoke, given his backstabbing actions reminds him a lot of Dimitri Rascalov.
- On the other hand, Tommy Vercetti is open to make negotiations with Smoke, provided he becomes one of his henchmen in the drug business. Smoke is considering the offer, but doesn't want to fall into the same trap as before.
- He is not welcome in the House of Friendship and Camaraderie given his betrayal. Big Smoke agrees this is a fair punishment.
- He doesn't have the best relationships with the Russian Mafiya, mostly because he had a few run-ins with the Los Santos Russian mafia and even tasked his friends CJ in getting rid of a few members for him. Dimitri Rascalov, notorious russian snake, has had Big Smoke in his sights for a while.
- Smoke can be often found in the House of Food, not surprising given his love for eating. He often makes a particular order every time he goes.
- It is adviced to never enter his temple without his permission. He has become very paranoid ever since his mortal death and since he no longer has the Ballas protection, you'll be surprised at what he is going to do to you.
Big Smoke: YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!
- People have asked him about following the damn train. He still blames CJ for those countless failures.
- It's not unlikely to see Smoke in the House of Travel chasing trains.
- Apparently, he is a devout Christian, so he sometimes visits the House of Religion and Faith. That said, he can believe that he became a god after death, so he figured that he must be right that people would remember his name.
- "Respect has to be earned, Sweet. Just like money."
- Can also be found in the House of Death and Postmortem, in the Hall of Death Archetypes.

- Pitied by: The Powerpuff Girls and Professor Utonium
- Unwitting Pawns to: Nurgle, Pestilence and Typhus
- Banned from: The House Of Machinery and Technology
- The City of Townsville is home to numerous villains, who had the town at their mercy before the Powerpuff Girls arrived. There's the unspeakable evil of HIM, the mastermind Mojo Jojo, the violent hick Fuzzy Lumpkins...and then there are these three. The Amoeba Boys, Bossman, Junior and Slim are possibly the most pathetic villains in Townsville. Dreadful in their villainy, it was perhaps an act of pity that got them into the Pantheon.
- Originally followers of Reuniclus, as they were giant microbes like him. However, Reuniclus felt bad for them and petitioned their ascension. They can sometimes be seen hanging out with the Multiplying Pokemon.
- The problem they face in being villains is mainly that they have an incredibly low bar set for acts of evil. Rather than steal something valuable, they seem content on doing misdemeanors likes stealing oranges and walking on grass. To their credit, when they set their mind to something they'll do it; they once underwent mitosis and stole every orange in town, unintentionally causing scurvy. Because of their orange theft, they actually made a legitimate enemy in Gangplank.
- Mojo Jojo and HIM could be heard groaning upon learning the Amoeba Boys ascended. Interestingly, when their plan to destroy the Powerpuff Girls was lost, these three managed to rescue the plan and trick the girls into getting it to work, thinking it was a scavenger hunt.
- They Almost immediately tried to join the Grand United Alliance of Evil. The majority reaction of the members was to laugh, kill them for stupidity, facepalm and in Melkor's case all three. Still, they were able to make friends with Doctor Drakken, Jack Spicer, and Team Rocket, mainly because they're almost as pathetic as the Amoeba Boys. They tried to prove their meddle to the GUAE by making voodoo dolls of Cosmos, YHVH and Lucifer, but since they don't know anything about voodoo, they ended up being normal dolls instead, and if that weren't embarrassing enough, they screwed up the mailing order by giving them to the rival leaders.
- They seem to be fans of Vito Corleone, stylizing themselves on old-timey gangsters. Vito doesn't even know they exist, and probably wouldn't care if he did. They also know about Murkrow, and try to help in their thieving.
- One of the few places where they can actually feel like a villain is in Bizarro World, which they were introduced to by — who else? — Bizarro. This world is a backward place with weird "heroes" and soft "supervillains". In this world, they're finally treated as the villains they see themselves as, and are eternally grateful to Bizarro for this chance.
- Sometimes, completely by accident, they cause trouble. One time, back in the mortal world, when they sat on grass they weren't supposed to in the rain, they got sick and ended up spreading an epidemic. They didn't comprehend the full extent of this and wanted a cure as well, but it resulted in a plague covering the city and almost completely incapacitating the girls. Nurgle, Pestilence, and Typhus were intrigued by this and are planning on using them as minions without their knowledge. The Plague Knight has shown some interest in them as well.
- Because of this incident, they proved an actual problem for Osmosis Jones. Of course, considering it was a complete accident, Ozzy doesn't hold it much against them.
- That being said, there was one documented time where the Amoeba Boys were actually very competent. It was when a man came up to them by the name of Silico and managed to get them to infect the world-wide-web because that would really annoy the Powerpuff girls, where they did a surprisingly decent job, if only because they were a distraction for Silico's real plan. This ended up with them getting banned from the House of Technology as a safety precaution. Of course, they were ecstatic to tell everyone about this feat, being more excited about the idea of being treated as actual villains to the point they they are banned because of their actions.

- Pities: Johnny Turbo, Fred
- Pitied By: Lex Luthor, Glass Joe
- Opposes: The Houses of Magic and Sorcery and Law and Justice, the GUAM
- Conflicting Opinion on: Dr. Wily on whether robots should have anything beyond basic A.I., especially considering what happens in the future of the latter's world because of it, and also because of one instance of the Professor's own machines abruptly turning on him. Eggman likewise sides with him thanks to an incident he had with one of his own robots betraying him.
- What defines Professor Nutmeg more than anything else is just how pitiful, ineffective and pathetic of a villain he is. He has never once earned a true victory over his enemies, and the world he lives in seems to have it in for him and will go out of its way to screw him over. Despite his intellect and resources, he has the temperament and ego of a petulant five year old and is prone to serious lapses in common sense and judgement that Felix frequently takes advantage of, and he'll be defeated as often by his own hand as he will from Felix's.
- The Professor is believed to be stuck with a perpetual streak of bad luck inflicted on him by Felix the Cat, hence his 0-1 victory streak against him. Felix himself insists that the curse was placed on him by a cult of evil (or at least jerk-ish) corporate executives.
- While the Professor is by and large a pitiful personality due to his endless conga line of failures, those close to him know that there is a very, very good reason why you should never allow him to get within even a hair-breadth of victory—the normally composed the Professor will relish the opportunity so much, that the uglier, more sadistic side of his personality will rear its ugly head and his desire to make his foes or victims suffer will not only drive him into becoming a legitimate threat, but will also supersede any other goal, as Felix the Cat discovered the hard way on one occasion.
- Despite having an acrimonious relationship with the House of Magic, the Professor is eager to exploit its potential in spite of being a scientist, and he is in constant search of magical artifacts to heighten him to the status of a true villain. Initially, he sought to just claim Felix's Magic Bag of Tricks for himself, but as he discovered the wide multiverse, he broadened his options to try and find other forms of magic to exploit which he is barred access to.
- The Professor idolizes Ebeneezer Scrooge due to their once-mutual contempt for Christmas and anything associated with it, and even after a life-changing experience made Scrooge undergo a face-about attitude towards the holiday, he has nothing but utmost respect for him. Ironically, he envies Scrooge McDuck's incredible wealth, but ultimately respects him as a person due to his good relationship with his nephews. The Professor likewise respects Donald Duck for the same reason as McDuck, and also due to him being just as unlucky as he is.
- Due to his close relationship with his nephew Poindexter, any form of child mistreatment (beyond harmless pranks) is a big Berserk Button to him. When he heard about Scar's treatment of his own nephew as part of his plan to conquer the Pridelands, the Professor immediately lost his composure and attempted to fight him despite clearly being no match for the lion in combat. And despite his dislike of The Boy Who Lived, he has no respect at all for the Dursley family due to their appalling treatment of their nephew (although he eventually let up on Dudley due to him learning to treat Harry better). And he absolutely despises Dolores Umbridge for her unbridled sadism and cruelty towards Harry and the students of Hogwarts.
- The Professor's age is unknown, but he seems to be showing signs of reaching senility due to his aforementioned childish nature and frequent lapses in judgement and common sense. To say nothing of the fact that he'll forget his rivalry with Felix at the drop of a hat if his nephew needs babysitting.
- Has been visited by several DreamWorks deities. Felix the Cat himself was pleased to discover that his friendly enemy had ascended into the Pantheon, but the feeling is not mutual on the Professor's part, who is envious of his longtime foe managing to ascend before him. It's not a good idea to bring up the subject within earshot of the scientist.
- The Professor is often used as the butt of a joke in sections of the Pantheon, and finding out just how outclassed he is by so many other villains has only driven the Professor's resolve to seek power further.
- The Professor has been lifelong friends with Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and is rumored to have helped fund some of his more ambitious experiments. Despite this, the Professor refuses to team up with him due to realizing he's out of his element when it comes to dealing with an insectivore who can reach mach 7 speeds, while still being unable to capture a housecat and his trinket; Eggman likewise refuses to help him defeat Felix due to understanding that it's impossible for him to exploit the Magic Bag of Tricks and not wanting to have yet another powerful animal adversary to deal with. The Professor is believed to be a poker buddy with Dr. Albert Wily as well, and even outsourced materials to help him build more robots despite their disagreements about robot A.I. He has a seething hatred for Sigma due to his xenophobia towards humans, but he despises Dr. Weil even more so; while the Professor isn't in favor of robots with human-level A.I., he is even less in favor of Weil's racist genocide and sadistic cruelty. He eventually formed a reluctant alliance with Mega Man X and Zero (the latter after the Professor tried and failed to harness the power of the Dark Elf in a misguided attempt to destroy Weil, and was saved from it by Zero with the help of Felix) since they're the only ones around who can defeat Sigma and Weil. He has a special contempt for Robot Santa Claus, not only because the mere thought of Christmas brings back unpleasant childhood memories, but because he has absolutely no tolerance for Robot Santa's extremist form of justice.
- Due to a mix-up, the Professor was once accidentally sent to Arkham Asylum instead of a lower level prison for his crimes, which was an experience so thoroughly unpleasant that it traumatized him and gives him nightmares to this very day, and further soured his relationship with the House of Justice. However, he was eventually able to build a rocket out of spare parts and escape on it.
- He once took up a bet with Swiper the Fox that he could defeat Dora the Explorer, and lost. Despite this, Swiper still follows and respects him as a superior villain, if just because he admires the Professor's undying resolve and knows that unlike him, he can't be foiled by someone just telling him to stop (unless your name is Sergeant Mike Cosgrove).
- He also attempted to steal Mary Poppin's magical bag once, but had as much luck with it as he does with stealing Felix's own bag. He likewise tried to hijack the Doctor's TARDIS to study it and improve his own Time Machine from the notes he would take, but both were sent packing by a flock of Weeping Angels.
- He once visited Neo Arcadia and, upon discovering the devastation Dr. Weil wrought upon it, made a misguided effort to try and find the Dark Elf for himself so he could overpower the deity (if just to take over Neo Arcadia for himself as a self-proclaimed hero, although undoubtedly even he would have made a better ruler than Weil) and potentially overcome Felix and his Bag of Tricks as a bonus. Zero got word of his actions and attempted to intercept him with the help of Felix the Cat. Unfortunately, the Professor succeeded in finding the Dark Elf first and refused to listen to Zero's warnings about the Dark Elf's effects. The subsequent merger resulted in transforming the Professor into an insane robotic abomination. Despite getting considerably more powerful in this form, he was still no match for the combined efforts of Zero and Felix the Cat, who defeated him and returned him to normal, while the Dark Elf fled the scene. The Professor reluctantly formed an alliance with Zero after the fact once he found out he was built by Dr. Wily and was also capable of defeating Dr. Weil.
- He once attempted to form an alliance with Count Dooku and the C.I.S. in a shrewd attempt to elevate his villain credentials, hoping to win his favor by exchanging the Magic Bag of Tricks (which Dooku was intrigued by and hoped to exploit with the Force to further expand his army) for millions of credits. Unfortunately, the deal quickly turned sour when the Professor found out Republic Credits were worthless in Earth money. Infuriated with Dooku's scam, he briefly formed a Power Trio with Eggman and Wily, and led a Roaring Rampage of Revenge with an army of their robots to fight through the C.I.S. droid army and retrieve the Bag. While Wily and Eggman's forces were quickly overwhelmed by the superior numbers and firepower of the C.I.S. droids, the Professor successfully reclaimed the Bag in the crossfire. Unfortunately, the trio ended up having an argument over who got to keep the bag (the Professor felt entitled to it since it was the reason he spearheaded the operation in the first place, but Eggman and Wily wanted to sell the bag on the black market to alleviate the cost of the heavy losses of their robots in the battle)—which was quickly stolen by Boba Fett while they weren't looking. Infuriated that their efforts were all for nothing, Wily and Eggman swore off any future team ups with the Professor. The Professor later discovered that Felix had hired Fett to trail the Professor and track down his bag for him, who safely returned it for an undisclosed fee. The Professor promptly waterboarded himself in his lab to relieve his subsequent meltdown.
- Should not be confused with Professor Utonium, who is far more benevolent in personality.
- He was impressed with the Nostalgia Critic's takedown of Felix's movie debut and even attempted to form a partnership with him, but the Critic turned down his offer.
