Herein is the vile House of Villainy, rebuilt after eons past. The goals of these deities are destruction and the domination of all existence, seeking to impose their own order upon the multiverse. Although, it should be noted that not all the occupants of this House are totally evil. This house was founded when several of the heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man decided they wanted to resplit the House of Heroism and Villainy after the endless war had worn them all down for too long. While many of the Elder Gods were uneasy at the thought of another Hero/Villain house split after the first experiment, the case eventually went all the way to the Court of The Gods, where a very tired and irritated Johnson ordered the house to split up because "All that noise makes sleeping very difficult for the rest of us! I tolerate the House of Beasts and Fauna out of necessity but split the others up for now. Let them scheme in their own houses." Jean-Luc Picard facepalmed at this utterly arbitrary decision, but as Jack McCoy was leading the case, tired of having the lawless look over his notes, the decision passed with surprisingly little argument. The only dissenter was Harvey Dent, but after flipping a coin, he ultimately decided for it too, though it does create the awkward situation of him needed to drag himself between houses depending on his coin flip on who he was going to visit on-off time.
Melkor often resides here to plan with his horde on how they might take down the other houses before long. His temple which is mostly empty instead holds the central portal to the headquarters of the Grand United Alliance of Evil, which many villains use. Most of the resident villains admit that though keeping each other's company is difficult, this is something they'll need to deal with if they're ever going to crush those pathetic heroes under their boots.
Ever since the ascension of Crow, there has been a new wing to the house called the "Villain's Museum" for the purpose of celebrating all the victories that fellow villains achieved.
The only thing they have in common with the House of Heroism is their shared opposition of The Anti-Monitor.

- Once the greatest of the Ainur, Melkor was not content with following the sacred designs of his creator Eru Ilúvatar and instead sought to create his tunes of discord and darkness. This initial act of rebellion sparked the evil within him and afterward sought to remake Ilúvatar’s world in his unholy image then destroy it all in the end. Branded as Morgoth, the First Dark Lord, the Great Enemy of Arda, and the God of Evil, he did whatever he could to take over all of creation. That is until he was captured and thrown into the Void beyond Arda where he could no longer do any harm until his prophesized return in the second Dagor Dagorath. While Melkor's Evil lingers across all of Arda, his physical return would have been something to worry about much later — until his ascension that is. By the power vested in the Pantheon, Melkor was broken free of his prison and given a position for historical purposes. Free from the rules of Arda, Melkor finally realized that he could expand his plan to take over all of the existence beyond the realm of Arda but knew that he needed much more help upon seeing the greater omniverse that even now eludes him. Gathering all the baddies who were willing to work with him, he formed the Grand United Alliance of Evil. As a response to that, the Grand United Alliance of Good was formed, so needless to say Melkor has his work cut out for him.
- Is not particularly happy that his current arrangement with the Court of the Gods ensures that he does not return to Arda much earlier than he should, or invade other universes while he is here. Melkor plans to overthrow them eventually but while he’s an Overdeity, he's not the only one in the Pantheon, nor is he the biggest. Knowing this, he sits on his throne giving orders instead of being proactive all in the belief that an opportunity will come for him to enact his plans.
- Despises that his brother Manwë and even worse, Eru himself are in the Pantheon watching his every move. The merciful Manwë just wants Melkor to cease his villainous tyranny but is forced to act against him as one of the GUAG’s leaders. Eru while very disapproving of everything Melkor has done does not think Divine Intervention is a suitable punishment for his former Ainur and sits out of the entire conflict. Melkor does not want any of their mercy or pity, as all he wants is to destroy both of them once he desolates the creations that they love so dear.
- Loves being credited for influencing all intentionally-evil villains at least after the middle of the twentieth century and being the source of all evil itself. That is undeniably true in Arda through to the rest of the omniverse, that might be stretching it. It’s noted Melkor does understand ideas such as The Dark Side more than most, which gives credit to his claim though it is still just a claim by all accounts. He means to use the armies of the GUAE to conquer as many realms as possible and bring all the misery he can through slavery, genocide, famine, mass rape, et cetera. As long as it is considered evil, Melkor will do everything in his power to make sure everyone feels the evil he spreads.
- Once faced a specific issue multiple times where the people of some realms his armies conquered love all the evil he has done to them, something both amusing and odd to Melkor. He decreed that they be put to work to help in later conquests but he could not get them to move since they did enjoy their suffering. So Melkor made the most logical move: create a utopia where all his minions are kind to them and all their needs are provided for with nothing bad ever happening. That got them moving to join his ranks pretty quickly. He hated doing that but seeing all their misery made him relish it in the end.
- While he purports himself as the origin of all evil in creation, he never considered the idea of evil beings before creation. Amatsu-Mikaboshi, The Lich, and Orgalorg are beings that lived in the Primordial Chaos before space-time began, so Melkor is unable to say anything about them. The only explanation he can provide is that these guys aren’t truly evil since they don’t see themselves as evil and this is just how most beings before creation acted. Somehow... that makes a lot more sense than it should.
- Proud of his name as Morgoth as it inspires fear and dread to those who hear it. The name Melkor more or less reminds him of when he was an Ainur, which he utterly detests. For some odd reason Melkor’s birth name is regularly used even by his subordinates, likely because they know he dislikes reminders of his past and wants to mock him for it. He isn’t so bothered by it nowadays but forces anyone within earshot to address him as Morgoth. A foot to your everything is prepared whenever someone says Melkor near him.
- Almost everyone in the GUAE joined him out of necessity than actual loyalty to him. Even those who like how Melkor rolls are just there for their purposes. Melkor knew this when creating the Alliance, so he isn’t too surprised. However, that is not stopping him from stamping out traitors. All he asks for in the end is everyone’s cooperation when it comes to serving the overall cause. He is certain he’ll get his revenge one day once he wins by killing most of them and absorbing his loyalists as a reward.
- Is aware that there are plenty in his ranks who are more deplorable than he’d like but keeps them around because they’re indispensable (hence why many of his even more treacherous and nicer members are under Teeth-Clenched Teamwork). He does not discriminate against anybody as long as they’re willing to commit horrendous acts towards others and can tolerate the Crapsack World the GUAE aims to build. Anybody who isn’t with him (or at least publicly with him) or doing anything that’s not evil can get out of his face.
- Sauron was originally The Dragon to him long ago after Melkor had tempted him from being The Blacksmith of the Maiar to his Number Two in conquest. He initially carried on this role in the Pantheon, but as the GUAE grew much larger and Melkor's favor shifted to other villains, Sauron was persuaded by Darkseid to defect to the alliance he was building. Melkor’s rage upon hearing that was akin to millions of volcanoes erupting, in utter disbelief that his best and most trusted general would betray him just like that after everything he had done for Sauron. Then again, Sauron did learn from the best when it comes to stuff like this. Despite this, he ended up being forced to compromise with Darkseid in order to keep the GUAE together, resulting in Sauron entering back into his fold, albeit now at the head of the GUAE Dystopia Harbingers.
- Never met Cosmos until she was elected leader by the GUAG. If he did meet her before, she would have one of his prime mortal enemies since Cosmos is able to juggle so many people from different backgrounds to fight primarily against him (initially). He has noticed some of the ridiculously strong deities that have sided with her, and he ups the security of his base of operations with each new addition. Melkor wants to keep and gain new members for himself in turn and while he was able to snag new ones, they pale in comparison to what Cosmos has. Maybe the Bad Boss reputation his entire Alliance has is what’s keeping potential recruits away.
- Formed the Four Horsemen as the guardians of the House of Villains along with three others he was especially impressed by who is willing to serve his cause. Currently the lineup includes Griffith, who represents the corruption of heroes, Junko Enoshima who can break the will of others, and Ganondorf manipulating various other villains. The Ebon Dragon was once part of his Horsemen but when the Ebon Dragon was ejected from the Pantheon, Melkor replaced him and never looked back. Now that the Ebon Dragon has returned, he is pissed that he was forgotten and wants to get back at Melkor for it.
- Melkor’s influence and power directly correlate to how frequently evil is committed in one universe (hence being a Cardinal Alignment). If Melkor ended up in Teletubbies, he’d become incredibly weak while if he ended up in a place like Cyberpunk, he’d be akin to his prime. If Melkor were to end up in a place like the realm of the Elder Gods where evil and good aren’t present and just “is”, he’d be impotent since the idea of evil as a force does not exist there. In the Pantheon proper, he’s in the same state he was when the first Dagor Bragollach occurred, like the Pantheon’s idealistic nature is being slowly dimmed thanks to the Forever War escalating and the The Internet and mass media itself becoming more cynical. Every second of the growing cynicism allows him to feed off the resulting negativity.
- An incident he does not like to be reminded of is almost getting Eaten Alive by Ungoliant, which would have potentially ended him right here and then. His relationship with Ungoliant is unknown as Melkor has no influence on her in the slightest. While Ungoliant is evil in a traditional sense, it can be speculated that she was doing what all spiders do: feeding on her prey. Then again, killing Melkor off can hardly be called an evil action.
- His claims to be the origin of evil conflict with Krona’s existence, in how the Mad Guardian tampered with the beginning of existence and created evil. This led to a theory that Krona triggered Melkor’s Face–Heel Turn, being the source of the music that triggered his Start of Darkness. Krona is insulted by this; all he did was look at how everything came to be and if he did create Melkor, it was purely an accident. Melkor has provided no comment on the matter, likely out of Pride. Given the timey-wimey experiment Krona was doing, it might be a lot more accurate to say Melkor and Krona were behind each other. Whichever deity proposed this theory, many say they forgot that Melkor and Krona are of different multiverses and likely could not influence the rise of evil in each other's realms.
- May or may not have created Aku since the blob is Made of Evil. Aku would like to state that HE IS AKU and the notion that he was created by someone is completely incomprehensible to him. Similarly, both the Idea of Evil and Nyarlathotep are evil incarnate but were birthed by the evils of man instead of being the source of it. Melkor has learned that if he wants to keep his allies close, he has to prey upon and appeal to their egos so they won’t make the effort to form splinter groups opposing him.
- His nature as an evil-composed being makes him vulnerable to good-based auras and attacks, though because of his strength it requires a lot of it. This, combined with her ability to force compassion on others, makes Iroque and the Indigo Light Melkor’s Kryptonite Factor. Having diffused so much of his being into evil, his physical body is weakened to the point he's a Greater God in her presence, an Intermediate God if she forces an Indigo Lantern ring on him (though his evil is too great to brainwash away) and a Demigod under the Avatar of Compassion, the Proselyte. Zordon is another problem here since the wave of good energy from his Heroic Sacrifice destroyed/purified the smaller United Alliance Of Evil. He does not want such a thing happening to his own GUA.
- One of his most infamous actions was the theft of the Silmarils, which were then in Arda the only source of everyday things like the sun and the moon. Nightmare Moon granted Melkor permission to take the moon and bring everlasting darkness... if he got the sun first. Melkor wants to slay Amaterasu and relive the moment that gives him so much joy, though considering Amaterasu’s strength, he questions if he’ll be able to succeed. Melkor claims he wants to take the moon and the sun so that he’ll be able to take everything that seems like fun.
- He was able to deflect a Spirit Bomb from Son Goku in a Noodle Incident, due to being pure (evil). His true concern over the Saiyans is if he and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta; his signature technique of the Stardust Breaker disintegrates all evil, so Melkor would be dissolved into nothingness if that hit him.
- Many regard Melkor's backstory and portfolio as being remarkably similar to the well-known tale of Archangel Lucifer, better known as Satan or The Devil. It is believed by most that he is none other than the Devil himself. The Beast disagrees, stating that he is the true Devil and influenced Melkor. Lucifer (and many of his deified counterparts) thinks they're both full of shit.
- The Golden Spider has pissed off Melkor by claiming to be Above Good and Evil. The Golden Spider reasons that he is a Creator of Life, much like Eru, who was the one who created Melkor, meaning that Melkor is below him. Understandably, this turned many heads, considering the Golden Spider called such a thing into question. Given his previous experience with Ungoliant, Melkor might have arachnophobia.
- Created the dragons of his world, so that tidbit comes in conflict with Io’s existence as the progenitor of all of dragonkind. Io also disagrees with Melkor’s statement, stating that all of his children, even the ones Melkor made belong to him. It’s odd to see a custody battle over who can raise dragons come into play but Io is the winner since he could probably eat Melkor if he wanted to.
- Though J.R.R. Tolkien is a superior of sorts for Melkor, the Dark Enemy argues otherwise, as he passed before his tale could be finished. Tolkien is still recognized as his superior by most, as he's still behind the tales of Middle-earth and the story was completed by his son but one day, he’ll crush his creator to prove that he is beyond any being and bows to no one.
- Was GREATLY affected by how the Great Upheaval went down and not in a good way. Not only was he upstaged by YHVH and Lucifer, but many of his subordinates defected to their sides and later formed their own Grand United Alliances, not to mention that the price of his Internetnote had been raised. With his reputation as God of Evil under threat, Melkor was heard grumbling after hearing the news that "Law and Chaos are nothing compared to the merciless, annihilating power of True Evil, I shall teach them all that...''
- Swore to get back at the two for what they did to him. Melkor's ranting earthquake-like voice, full of absolute malice and insanity, echoed and boomed across every House and Temple as he screamed forth a terrible vow: note
- The Great Will yawned and responded: note
- Lucifer's response was considerably more succinct: note
- Hates, hates, HATES the Houses of Craft and Music for representing his downfall. As much as Melkor wants to create, his Creative Sterility prevents him from being the Creator God he so desires to be. These Houses remind Melkor of these flaws and he wants to purge both so that only he can create. For a time he devoted a significant portion of the GUAE's resources to finding a way to purge the temples from existence, leading to an extended clash with the GUAG forces sent to defend them that only ended when Morgoth was forced to call off the offensive to keep the rest of the GUAE from revolting over what they saw as a pointless exercise.
- Is fearful of Superman for having taken out Darkseid with music. He’s also completely terrified of Ghost Rider since his Death Glare would destroy Melkor’s mind. Anyone who can likely kill him quickly is people the Great Enemy steers clear of, like the ever so infamous Kirby and the one-punch killer himself Saitama.
- Nekron and Melkor are not so different in regards to wanting to end existence but remain enemies despite sharing many traits, as Melkor thinks that only he has the right to destroy reality while Nekron just wants to skip the whole dystopia Melkor wants and get straight to the apocalypse. This is also felt between the Anti-Monitor and Melkor in which the latter isn’t okay with being erased from existence to make way for nothingness.
- Detests the idea of being represented as a misunderstood figure shockingly enough as he thinks it undermines his status as the God of Evil as it was originally written, even though it gained him a legion of fans who think that he was wronged by Eru. While Melkor likes the idea of people thinking Eru is a tyrant and his rebellion is a good thing, the truth remains that after manifesting on Arda he attempted to bring an age of darkness over the world merely to spite his Maker.
- Named Dark Specter as his new second-in-command in the restructured GUAE, as Dark Specter has run a universe-spanning alliance before. Melkor sometimes even finds him more reliable than Sauron ever was and after the Demonic Legion was purged for not complying with new Pantheon rules, Dark Specter found a place by Melkor’s side. After all, Melkor managed to get him a godly title despite it being a rather embarrassing one.
- Thought Malekith and Archaon would be perfect for his Alliance but both refused viciously as the Four Chaos Gods serve under Melkor, and as everyone knows they have some really bad beef with those four. Thanks to having them as part of his closest council, both Evil Overlords are targeting the GUAE, dwindling even more of Melkor’s influence. Melkor asked why did his allies have to be so hard to be associated with.
- He was supposed to have a son, but that never came to be (that son was made into Gothmog, his Lord of the Balrogs). Interested in the idea of a successor, he went to where all things of What Could Have Been go: Retconnia. He requested Malal to release his son but Malal refused, as Melkor is friends with the Chaos Gods who abandoned him there. Irked by his protests, Malal threatened to have Melkor dragged into Retconnia as well if he even thought of staging a prison break for someone Malal isn’t even sure is there. Melkor backed off but swore Malal would regret his rejection.
- “But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.”
- Melkor also resides in the Hall of Godly Domains.

- In the land of Hyrule, there exists a prophecy for millennia that every time a great hero and his maiden would reveal themselves to be the land's most celebrated figure so shall come a great figure of evil who is destined by fate to clash against them to determine whether Hyrule is saved by good or dominated by tyranny and destruction. Ganondorf is that one figure of evil, a man defined by great ambition, power, and desire for domination, the perfect antithesis to the blessed virtues embodied by Link and Zelda, and as fate prescribes it, Ganon is fated to battle against the two, their enmity etched deeply in Hyrule's legend and lore. Ganondorf has made his mark in history as a figure who is willing to use every villainous deed in the book via manipulation, governing monsters, and claiming great power to be ahead of the game and prove himself as the most influential face of evil in Hyrule, made most apparent by his possession of the Triforce of Power that ensures his legendary infamy and always making sure that, even in defeat, his actions will leave behind consequences and a dark mark in Hyrule's history.
- Ganondorf ascended into the Pantheon around the same time as Link and Zelda did, which accentuated the fact that the three are fated to encounter and confront each other as fate would allow it. For Ganondorf, the real shocking revelation came when he learned about Demise, his spiritual ancestor and the main scourge of Hyrule's evil far before the establishment of the land's main kingdom. To discover that his very nature was to embody a hateful, malevolent curse inflicted on Ganon caused him to cackle and laugh at the fact that regardless of how he came to be or how he started his tale and quest for power and conquest, Link and Zelda will always be enemies and he will always be a figure of great evil and infamy. He then concluded his thoughts — he may as well carry on with the curse and embody it to its fullest; undeterred by his actions and proud of his infamy, Ganondorf made a pact with the Grand United Alliance of Evil, becoming one of the organization's most revered and influential members and a staunch enemy to the great forces of good. While Hyrule remains his main seat for his intended domination, the Great King of Evil has every intention of proving the divine realms about how and why he has the reputation he's built up for so long and relishes the opportunity to affirm himself as such.
- Befitting of his many dark epithets and reputation, Ganondorf is a warlord commanding a massive array of monsters and loyalists dedicated to preaching and expanding his corruptive influences. As for the figure himself, Ganondorf is an immensely powerful warrior known for his aptitude for dark magic, incredible might, and proficiency in bladed weapons like swords, naginata, tridents, and even the bow, all of which were further amplified by the Triforce of Power to make him a pseudo-deity capable of dominating and sundering anyone withing grasp. Ganondorf's greatest skill, however, is his guile and cunning; the man possesses a deceptive ability to manipulate and convince others to fall for his beliefs and plans, be it directly or indirectly, and further contribute to his plots. Of course, Ganondorf is his base human form, for his bestial form, Ganon, takes on the form of a giant humanoid boar which magnifies his great power at the expense of his intelligence and a bit of his sorcery.
- Just like any evil overlord and warlord, Ganondorf determines worth almost entirely through strength and conquest. He is a proud, confident, and dedicated warlock who is wholly committed to his ambitions for great evil and to that end, and as someone born and raised in the harsh weathers and turmoil offered by the Gerudo Desert, Ganondorf expects great adversity upon himself and proudly seeks to overcome such by one day conquering the bountiful lands of the rest of Hyrule. Even then, the Gerudo's inherently dark nature blooms within him an arrogant perspective towards others and a preference towards brutal and unfettered tactics that Ganondorf would unhesitantly take to accomplish his goals, uncaring of the untold numbers of people he would have to kill to get it. Despite his great malevolence, he is capable of showmanship and expressing a level of respect towards others, though this is based mainly on martial prowess and it's a rare sentiment to come across. Just as this inspired his infamy in Hyrule's history, it did the same thing in the Pantheon, only with the addition that several great evils were able to make comparisons, favourable or not, which fed into the Evil King's ego and ambitions. This led Ganondorf to take into consideration his new alliance and to determine who could benefit as allies... or as pawns for his own ends.
- Naturally, Ganondorf would be compelled to encounter Demise, his spiritual ancestors and the one who chose to embody Ganon as his curse to oppose and battle Link and Zelda with each incarnation. To Demise, Ganondorf was the ultimate product of his vengeance towards humankind and sees his descendant as a worthy successor to himself as the ultimate face of evil in Hyrule. To Ganondorf, Demise was someone who he decided to challenge to prove himself as the better leader as that was the purpose of being a successor. While they ended up being rivals instead of allies, Demise earnestly has no problem with his reincarnation wanting to prove himself the better conqueror, plus Ganondorf made a reasonable argument that lined up well with his own belief of leadership and domination. With their beliefs settled and affirmed, Ganondorf hopes to one day challenge the Demon King as an act of supremacy, which Demise openly accepts.
- Ganondorf also proved charismatic and effective enough to win the loyalty and respect of many of Hyrule's other great evils, including Zant and Ghirahim, both of whom would serve as the King of Evil's lieutenants in one incarnation. Zant seeks Ganon's influence as a way to gain further power for himself and make another attempt at usurping the Twilight Realm whereas Ghirahim was delighted to see how much potential Ganon has in regards to bloodshed and violence. On Ganondorf's end, Zant and Ghirahim are useful alliances for their ferocity and individual powers but will acknowledge that the Twilight Usurper can be too ambitious for his own good, the Demon Lord needs to reign down his rampant vanity, and both are prone to losing their cool and give into deranged fits of carnage if things aren't going well for them.
- While Ganondorf isn't the only huge threat that Hyrule has endured, he feels that the continent's other infamous figures are more difficult for him to properly command and influence. While Zant and Ghirahim are equally ambitious and bloodthirsty, they still owe Ganondorf to some extent and acknowledge that working with him was their best shot at their mutual goal of killing Hyrule's greatest hero and asserting dominance. But to someone else like Vaati and Yuga, Ganondorf instead found difficulty and a slight bit of opposition; Vaati wants Hyrule all to himself and chides Ganondorf for daring to destroy what he intends to conquer, a sentiment that the Gerudo warlord found preposterous and immature. Yuga's stint of wanting to control Ganon, on the other hand, was met with nothing but revulsion and dismay from the Evil King and with the clown sorcerer's renewed attempts to wanting to prove himself the better evil meant that the Gerudo warlock only saw him as an enemy. Majora was initially a strange enigma due to its nature as a sentient mask, but although they shared a mutual enemy in Link, Majora's childish antics and intent for destroying the world clashed heavily against Ganondorf's desire for conquest and stays wary of the mask, aware that Majora's corruptive nature is a credible threat to him as well if not careful. Similar sentiments were also shown to a mysterious entity known only as Null, a creature of an empty void, known for having existed even before Hyrule's creation. The fact that Null is able to create a seemingly perfect replica of Ganon intrigued and rattled the Evil King and he is preparing for the day Null makes its presence known in the Pantheon as Ganondorf believes it to be more a competitor or even an opposed than an ally.
- When it came to the GUAE, Ganondorf was made one of the members of the Conqueror Brigade, a position which fitted him well and he wasted no time in establishing his legion of monsters and loyalists into the GUAE's growing list of infantry. There, Hyrule's greatest evil found new allies like Skeletor, whose tyranny and great power impressed Ganondorf, Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman for showcasing destructive and subjugating technology that intrigued him, Quan Chi for his nature as a powerful warlock and the Netherrealm demon enjoying Ganon's presence and the likelihood of working together for dominance, and The Shredder for his ruthlessness and ability to inspire fear. The opportunities offered by these new alliances made Ganondorf more asserted about his place in the Pantheon and he seeks to familiarize himself further with many of these mongers and warlocks.
- Ganondorf expected a lot of enemies in the Pantheon besides Link and Princess Zelda and he was right. This didn't deter him at all and, if anything, he was excited by the many new faces he had to fight against because it fed into Ganondorf's desire to assert superiority and domination. From the typical like Aragorn, Jon Snow, Alm, Celica, Tyrion, Teclis, and Artoria Pendragon to the weird and divine like Daniel Fortesque, Princesses Celestia and Luna, and Sigmar Heldenhammer, Ganon cited them as warriors who could and should challenge him in direct combat, lest he sees them as cowards who should be scrubbed off clean from the divine realms. Should they match him in strength, Ganon is quite respectful, if mainly in his own twisted way, and is aware most of his enemies aren't going to reciprocate, though time and again, he has proven himself to be poor in sportsmanship and is prone to flipping out and losing his composure in the face of genuine defeat and no rewards.
- A self-proclaimed and proud "Evil King", Ganondorf inspires awe for lots of vile beings, fear and revulsion from nearly everyone else, and a competitor for most like him. It's not without reason that Ganondorf found comparisons to tyrants like Sauron, Malekith, and Arthas Menethil, all of whom commanded great armies and sought domination (or destruction in Arthas' case. Due to the range of their ambitions and their growing list of enemies, Ganon felt that an alliance with them is necessary, though all of them ended up being too prideful to truly work together, with Ganon deciding to instead accept a ceasefire to ensure they don't cripple each other too much. Sauron seems to be the most respectful towards Ganondorf as he acknowledges him as a capable warrior and strategist, though he makes it clear that he should keep out of Middle-earth. Still, Mordor's Dark Lord is willing to accept the King of Rvil's truce and sees his offering of troops as a transactional necessity. Malekith sees Ganondorf as a worthy opponent but makes it clear that his priority for the elves comes first and foremost and that Ganon's influence does not go in favour of the Witch-King's ambitions. With Arthas, he and Ganondorf are outright rivals as the Evil King finds his idea of annihilating all life to be going against his vision while the Lich King is simply uncaring of what his rivals have to think.
- Two of Ganon's most notable alliances in the Pantheon turned out to be Maleficent and Jadis, diabolical witches who possessed great power and exerted their rule and influence through tyranny and dread. The two of them were happy to work alongside the Gerudo warlock as he complimented their strengths and influence and Ganondorf is no stranger to working alongside evil witches, as demonstrated by his adopted mothers, Koume and Kotake. On their end, Maleficent finds great intrigue in Ganon's potential for evil and dominance and aspires to learn much from him while Ganondorf is equally open to learning from the Mistress of Evil if it means expansionism and authority. With Jadis, Ganon is quite careful with her; he respects her ruthlessness and savagery, but he also knows that Jadis is a screw loose if left unchecked and Ganon wants to make sure the White Witch doesn't end up causing untold destruction or indulging in petty and vicious acts for the sake of it as it would not bode well for the effectiveness of their alliance. Even so, Jadis appreciates Ganondorf as a peer in tyranny, though she is willing to turn on him if she so much as speculates that the Gerudo has doubts about her.
- If there was one tyrant who established a personal relationship with Ganondorf, it was Count Dracula, specifically the Lord of Castlevania, as the two made it pretty clear they were eternal villains defined by their enmity towards the descendants of a heroic lineage, the Count's case being the Belmont clan. As the two engaged in expanding their territory and influence, they began to clash as Dracula's control of monsters as well as creating vampires that swore their loyalty to him meant that Ganon's influence was at risk of being overshadowed. This culminated when Dracula took over a territory Ganondorf sought, forcing the King of Evil to pay a visit to the Vampire Lord in the latter's castle, prompting a vicious battle between the two. However, Dracula proved the superior monarch, even being able to withstand and expunge the Triforce of Power from Ganondorf's possession and, to make matters worse, the King of Evil was reduced to, in Dracula's words, a "pig" before he was skewered. Needless to say, Ganondorf really didn't take his defeat well to the point where he has now found difficulty in making alliances with monarchs and conquerors as powerful as he is. He vowed that he would have revenge against the Count and intended to kill the Belmont Clan as his way of flaunting his superiority. Dracula, on the other hand, cares little for Ganondorf's ambitions, though the Count respects his tenacity.
- Although he doesn't admit it, Ganondorf does feel that the idea of being predestined to be evil bothers him to some degree. He has no issues with being malicious, but he does feel angry that he doesn't have much choice and agency, and this is one of the reasons why he chose to be a competitor to Demise. The whole revelation made Ganondorf quite caustic about prophecy because of this, but this doesn't deter him from having some respect towards characters like Archaon as he could relate to the Everchosen's dismay at having to become the Chaos Gods' top patron as well as being an overwhelmingly powerful warlord and Odio's tale of falling from hero to villain fascinates him as it tells how even the most revered and heroic could become the opposite. However, he has no respect for Angra Mainyu — Ganondorf cannot fathom the possibility of the ultimate evil being predestined to fail and be humiliated despite being born vile and makes it clear that his standards are based on personal virtues of strength, ambition, and foresight.
- His connection with Demise made Ganondorf curious about the idea of someone being the source of evil, and two of them that immediately stood out were Melkor and Aku, who made it a point to spread their influence to corrupt and manipulate beings into their servitude as a way to assert their might. While the Evil King acknowledges their might and authority, he ended up having differing thoughts; while Melkor was extremely powerful, his mediocre track record regarding success caused Ganon to see him as unworthy of mutual respect and his goal of universal destruction only to recreate it under his own image. Aku was more respectable and Ganon found some common ground under how their greatest foes were time-displaced heroes (specifically the Hero of Time in Ganon's case), and it's here where the King of Evil figured that Aku could benefit as a partner in crime, a sentiment that the Shogun of Sorrow appreciated. Even so, Ganon and Aku are aware that one could backstab the other for more power, but have decided to set that aside, not wanting to give their foes an easier chance to strike, not helping is the fact that Jack is also enemies with Ganon for the latter's similarities with Aku.
- A known trait that affirms Ganondorf's reputation as a devious mastermind is his tendency to Suddenly be the one pulling the strings behind the actions of another and to promptly take centre stage as the main threat should the opportunity arise. For most, this was his most dangerous trait, a fact that Ganondorf was proud of. Master Xehanort was the closest to sharing such a trait, with the old Keyblade Master expressing amusement over such. The two are rivals, but they have a level of respect for each other as warriors and manipulators, with Ganon admitting that the main reason why he clashes against Xehanort is that he sees a little bit of himself in the older-looking man, which Xehanort took as a compliment, even if they make it clear that none of them is allowed to poke their noses into each others' ambitions.
- Speaking of which, Ganon is not above more shrewd manipulation tactics like tricking his adversaries or outright brainwashing to get what he wants. His raw power and devious intellect won him the favour of Khorne and Tzeentch, who vie against each other who could win the Evil King's favour first. On a personal note, Ganon struck an alliance with the sorcerer Gharnef over their shared similarities of using deception and craving great power, with the Evil King being willing to offer him resources for the ambitious traitor's goalnof taking over Archanea. His reputation also struck unease in Kain Highwind and Golbez as both have been victims of brainwashing and knowing that Ganon is just as dangerous and a.bitious as Zemus meant the two were quick to declare their opposition against the Gerudo warlock.
- A rather infamous moment that showcased Ganondoprf's devious mind was an event that involved Yubaba, a portly witch known for stealing souls and using her great powers for mundanely selfish desires like money. As a showcase of dominance, Ganon offered Yubaba the offer of more power and souls... so long as the contract was signed under Ganon's name. Literally. While Yubaba was confident that Ganondorf would be under her services, she forgot that his transformation as a pig was very much a willing powerup and before she knew it, Ganon had already made sure that with his pig transformation, he could bypass the witch's power and hold and siphon her souls and resources. Needless to say, Yubaba was flabbergasted and dismayed by Ganon playing her like a fiddle and only realizing too late that the Gerudo warlock tricked her into giving him more power and dominance, the end result being that Yubaba was left dry without much of her earnings and souls. It also didn't help that Ganon mocked the witch for her overconfidence and believing that turning him into a pig would diminish him when Ganon could already bypass the issue. Since then, Yubaba tries to avoid confrontations with the Evil King out of a sense of embarrassment, which only ly prompted Ganondorf to label her as pathetic and a pale invitation to his surrogate mothers, Koume and Kotake.
- Ganondorf is a Gerudo, a subset of humans where every member is female, save for one, who is scheduled to become the Gerudo's leader. Depending on incarnations, he was either a thief or a warlord, but his reputation as a feared warrior remained consistent. However, the Hall of Thieves simply disappointed him as he felt that neither of its residents had ambitions that matched his and only felt contempt for most of them, namely Aladdin for his humbleness and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts for not taking initiative to built their own vision of Japan given their powers. Predictably, they, in turn, see Ganondorf as a cruel tyrant who needs to be stopped, which only prompts his disappointment towards them even further. Regarding a women-exclusive society, Ganon expressed interest in Themyscira for such a reputation and inevitably clashed with Wonder Woman upon learning of the superhero's exploits and background as a resident of an all-female island. While Ganon compliments Diana for her skill as a warrior, she has no respect for the evil king and bluntly tells him that he is no king, only a tyrant out for bloodshed.
- His monster form, Ganon, usually takes the form of a giant, humanoid boar with a demonic aesthetic. Naturally, it's not rare to consider him a malicious pig in one way or another, though Ganon has no issues with this. Despite the abundance of defied pigs and boars, Ganondorf has no interest in any of them; Babe and Hawk are basic pigs as far as Ganon is concerned and not worth his attention whereas Okkoto-nushi has potential thanks to his new demonic physiology, but disappoints the Gerudo simply because the deific boar isn't committed to evil. Napoleon is the closest that elicits any genuine interest and that's only because, with his farm background, Ganondorf sees him as the sort of figure Iago should have been; merciless, unforgiving, and unfailingly brutal, yet the evil pig's cowardice is what amounts to more disappointment on Ganon's part. That said, Ganon doesn't mind the pig/boar symbolism he has... so long as it isn't used as an insult, clearly not wanting to be reminded of his loss against Dracula.

- Griffith started out as a child of humble birth, struggling for bread. However, this didn't deter him as he would rise in power by forming the mercenary Band of the Hawk, his charisma leading to getting a high position in the Kingdom of Midland. However, Guts leaving would cause him to make a massive blunder and sleep with the princess. This ended badly, and his absolute despair through his Crimson Behelit led a once in 216 years event to occur; having the choice to stay as he is or sacrifice everyone he cared about to become a godlike Demon Lord. He chose the latter.
- It's said that whenever someone alienates their followers by crossing the Moral Event Horizon, a mocking chuckle can be heard from Griffith's temple. All but the darkest of hearts loathe Griffith for slaughtering his friends, and especially for mentally and physically raping Casca to madness. That last act has made ever demon from Nippon Ichi to hate him along with every rape victim and those like Oberyn Martell who were close to a rape victim. The Hawk of Light tries to justify himself by saying I Did What I Had to Do to accomplish his dream, which just makes them madder. Olivier Armstrong in particular, due to her motherly instincts for his comrades and own values. The House of Friendship and Camaraderie has permanently banned him for his crimes.
- Initially served as a member of the Trio of Endless Hatred, the key members of the House of Hatred and Rancor. While indeed hated for the magnitude of his sins, crossing the Moral Event Horizon is more a villainous thing to do and he decided to join the House of Villains. Swiftly made himself one of the Four Horsemen in charge of said house due to the Ebon Dragon's declining relevance, and has begun his plans to unite as much of the Trope Pantheon under his thumb in Falconia. Rather comfortable in the House of Betrayal and Treachery, for obvious reasons.
- After seeing the downfall of both Terumi and Relius, Griffith considered them failures about bringing the worst of men, and after seeing Guts saving the Puella Magi, he concocted a plan that will not only serve to show how it's done to the two, but also a big middle finger to Guts' attempts: As he saw Litchi Faye-Ling still hasn't given up to save her colleague and often citing "I've Come Too Far, I don't care what happens to me as long as I can save him..." Griffith plans to influence the surrounding so she will cross the Moral Event Horizon to achieve that, seeing that it was the same thing that drove him into becoming Femto of the Godhand, and if such kind Goddess would fall into evil and loses whatever respect she had (going 180 from her personality), it would be a big triumph for him. He decided to take it slow and steady. That, unfortunately, didn't come to pass when eventually Litchi was able to move on from Arakune. At that point, Griffith immediately considered the task not really worth it and put it on a backburner. He's got a lot of slaughter counts to rack up in the meantime, and make sure Guts never get the chance to kick his ass meanwhile... like usual.
- One of the most charismatic villains in the entire Trope Pantheon, it is one of his main powers as a Godhand. He's considered a messiah in Midland, and created a seemingly utopian kingdom where Apostles and humans are in peace. Given he's fundamentally changed the world outside into a Hell on Earth as The Magic Comes Back, it's a Gilded Cage in service to Despotism Justifies the Means at best. He is interested in eliminating Saint Walker due to being a genuine source of hope, while he wants the monopoly on it. Many suspect he's pulling a Hope Spot, especially when he's the closest thing their world has to The Antichrist.
- He eventually joined a team called "The Satanic Spirits of Pure Evil", made up by him, Nyarlathotep, Diablo and Chernabog.
- Supporters of Griffith usually say that he did nothing wrong. Some outside his minions believe he's much better than he actually seems, and he's using this to his advantage; for example, Barney Stinson believes that despite what he did he's helping bring forth a true utopia. To solidify his rule he's trying to get comfortable with the House of Royalty and puppet rulers. Cersei is afraid that any of her kids ascend, he might manipulate them. He believes he can manipulate Judge Claude Frollo as well to get his claws further in the faithful.
- Is none too happy that Mitsuzane found redemption and regained the respect he lost. Not at all. Guts of course plans on keeping an eye on Mitsuzane in case Griffith goes after him, and is possibly even a little satisfied with how furious he must be. He doesn't like the fact that Sunset Shimmer found redemption as well. In terms of redemption, however, he seems the most concerned about the Indigo light Iroque has. Able to force compassion onto sociopaths, he is afraid of an Indigo ring trying to latch on to him and unfreeze his heart, severely compromising him.
- If his spite-driven rape of Casca wasn't evil enough, his essence corrupted the fetus developing into a demon child. He would later use the demon child as his vessel to incarnate in the mortal world. It's still in his system, and has at least some marginal effect; it led him to protect Casca from boulders. He is studying Fat Buu, a much more extreme version of this, so as to avoid being compromised in any way.
- Griffith has been aware that due to the more idealistic setting of the Pantheon, working and accomplishing heinous acts got a bit harder, whereupon there are a lot of deities that give the middle finger to the Moral Event Horizon and refuse to follow his footsteps. With force, if necessary. At this point, Griffith would think twice if he ever wants to induct potential sixth member of the Godhand, as he knew that these forces within the Pantheon will not be easy prey like his old Band of Hawks. But even then, once every blue moon, someone crosses the Moral Event Horizon like him. When that news comes to pass, Griffith actually treasures that moment, as proof that no matter how little or curbed, evil will always exist.
- As with the other Godhand he is dissatisfied to learn that the Trope Pantheon is not the Crapsack World of Midland, and they do not have mastery over causality here. He intends to change this, and has begun scheming in the House of Prophecy and Fate, eliminating those who Screw Destiny. Competes with Palpatine, YHVH and Mateus Palamecia in a bid for power, more so the latter two due to the religious bent. YHVH isn't concerned with him directly due to being astronomically stronger though; it's more about attracting followers, which Griffith is incredibly skilled at. Interested in Lysandre's scheme to devastate the world and preserve a select group of people.
- He has set his sights on Yuji Sakai because not only is he a being comparable in power to him and has managed to find a way to put an end to neverending wars thus making him a messiah in the eyes of similarly crapsack worlds like Warhammer 40,000 but the several similarities the two share, such as being that they were once humans with mundane origins who made what amounts to a Deal with the Devil to become the godlike beings they are. The differences between the two though is that whereas Yuji ultimately uses his powers for the greater good, including giving a new world for the supernatural forces so they no longer harm the mortal realm, Griffith goes for the polar opposite, fusing the mortal and supernatural realms thus turning the already harsh Midland into a Hell on Earth so he will be the one and only ruler.
- Molag Bal, the most malevolent of the Daedric Princes, is very fond of Griffith for sinking to similar lows, especially after finding out he merged the physical and astral plane and raped Casca to the point of insanity. As the first rapist in his timeline, Molag Bal created the first vampire after violating a woman. Desiring mortal souls, he instigated the Planemeld by trying to drag all of Tamriel into his realm and sculped biological weapons out of innocents' flesh. On a smaller scale, Molag Bal corrupted a good and righteous man into breaking his oath of pacifism by sending a servant to defile his wife's grave, and repeatedly beat and revived an elderly priest until he swore fealty. Even his own servants are not safe from his wrath, as he has his favorite minion murdered for not spreading enough destruction and arranges the death of his own daughter for falling in love with a lesser Daedra. Disgusting even his fellow Daedric Princes, Molag Bal is by far the vilest and most depraved being in existence.
- As its Chosen One, he has been ordered by his God, the Idea of Evil, to attempt to find those worthy of being the Pantheon's God Hand.

- Judge Holden is a man of mystery, with only the vaguest of details known to those who have personally known him. What is known about him is that he was an outlaw and professional scalphunter who was aligned with fellow outlaw John Joel Glanton and simply showed up one day to accuse a reverend of pedophilia, prompting a massive outrage and riot that he took great joy in initiating and witnessing. The aftermath led him to become acquainted with a fledgling outlaw known only as "The Kid". As the top lieutenant of Glanton's gang, he and his superior led their band of outlaws, including The Kid, to traverse around the American Midwest, invading, attacking, torturing, maiming, raping, scalping, and killing whoever they approached. As The Kid becomes disillusioned and attempts to part ways, The Judge gleefully deems him someone to hunt. As members of Glanton's gang die off, The Judge remains steadfast in his occupation and beliefs, eventually outliving them and confronting The Kid in a bar a few decades later. The last sighting of the Judge saw him dancing and musing how he is an eternal force who will never sleep and never die...
- He ascended to the Pantheon... and that's all there is to know about how The Judge found his way into the divine realms. This, if anything, confirms that there must be something alien or supernatural about the figure. There are some disputed claims on his first sightings in the Pantheon, with one claiming that he was seen drinking in a bar, musing about his personal philosophy, whereas another eyewitness documented him committing a plunder that involved torture, bloodshed and murder by the dozens. It also didn't help that The Judge was capable of both in equal measure, and hasn't said what his intentions were in the Pantheon. The Judge simply claimed that he wanted to see just how much humanity and those with "similar intelligence" are willing to sink to their lowest instincts and find glory towards war and death. Ali Al-Saachez, who was previously assigned the title of For the Evulz, stepped down and took a new position as Cobra Commander's high priest.
- Judge Holden is a paradoxical, seemingly inhuman figure. On one hand, his appearance is unlike that of any man — a tall, corpulent person standing at 7 feet in height with not a strand of hair anywhere in his body, skin as white as ash and a deranged, unnerving smile that comes off naturally for him. On the other hand, the Judge is a figurative abomination — there is no act of crime and evil that he is willing to skip solely because he enjoys it. Murder, rape, torture, extortion, manipulation, enslavement, exerting unlawful control and power, allowing discrimination... the Judge has seen, enabled, and committed all of them to varying extents. However, underneath this genuine enjoyment of depravity lies a deeper belief in the commitment of his actions, for the Judge is an inherent believer that humanity is destined to act on its lowest and most primitive basis, that mankind is guided by fate and that the ultimate deliverance is war. The Judge is also a being of many talents, skilled in hunting, fighting, and possessing seemingly superhuman strength, as well as having near-impossible knowledge in several subjects like archaeology, paleontology, biological and chemical sciences, geology, and history, and is a good drawer, on top of being a seemingly qualified judge with esteemed knowledge in law. This, if anything, raises questions about whether Judge Holden is even human to begin with.
- As a man who made his presence known in the American Frontier and showcasing just how barbaric and fearmongering outlaws were willing to be, it came as no surprise that the Judge found kinship towards Micah Bell. The two quickly took note of how they shared a hopelessly bleak outlook on life and used that as justification to revel in the worst of violence. Incidentally, the Judge gained enemies in the Van Der Linde Gang, with Dutch being rattled at how his actions were comparable to those of Colm O'Driscoll and his namesake gang, with John and Jack Marston and Arthur Morgan sharing similar sentiments — they are aware of their sins, but the Judge goes far overboard with his acts. Even seasoned and vengeful outlaws and gunslingers like The Man with No Name, Jill McBain, and Roland Deschain show wariness when it comes to the Judge. On his end, the Judge outright entertains the possibility of meeting them, if only to enforce his beliefs onto them before delivering death or worse.
- He is upfront about his depravity and believes that humans indulging and prioritizing their worst impulses is an inevitability. As a result, he finds fascination towards those like Viktor Adler, Dio Brando, and Vandal Savage as he sees them as the pinnacle of human evil. The fact that Adler and Dio willingly turned themselves into something not human was proof for Holden that evil is an inherent and dominant essence. Vandal, being an ancient figure spanning five millennia in age and committing every possible act of malice, furthered the Judge's perspective. On his end, his uncanny knowledge, limitless cruelty, and dark philosophy intrigued Adler, Dio, and Savage and see him as a capable ally to have, with Dio and Savage even enjoying an occasional conversation about human flaws, fatalism and the different interpretations of evil, with them even believing that the Judge is capable of a much bigger scale of evil with the newfound about of influence and resources he is able to access in the Pantheon.
- The Judge is a straw nihilist and uses that as his reason for embracing depravity and carnage. It's what got him acquainted with Joker and Cletus Kasady, with the Judge dismissing their fierce rivalry towards each other and opting to just appeal to their taste for malice. Holden respects Joker's desire for theatrics and inflicting personal cruelty, whilst also admiring Kasady's "colourful tastes for deliverance", but nothing caught his intrigue more than how the three believed in the futility of life. To them, only slaughter and destruction, the ruination of life, is what brings them joy and humour. The Judge also believes that life is predestined and combines his nihilism and sadistic tendencies to believe that everything exists for him to interact with and eventually tarnish. With his familiarity with Joker, the Judge would eventually learn about The Batman Who Laughs, a being whose very existence drives the thought that certain actions and events will dictate one to embrace destruction. The Judge came to find He Who Laughs' beliefs relatable and intriguing, but prefers the Clown Prince of Crime as a peer, as being the original and a byproduct of human evil from his perspective, Joker embodies among the closest towards the Judge's ideals. Related to the belief of meaninglessness is a drive for hatred, which Holden enjoyed as such an emotion perpetuated what he desired, leading to his admiration for the monster, Yapool.
- The existence of the House of Military and Warfare was both a sign of jubilation and vindication for the Judge, as well as confirming his thoughts about war being eternal and inevitable. His mentality impressed Apollyon enough that she sees him as a worthy peer and neither cares how much blood and agony is spilt so long as it simply does, granting the Judge a sign of approval from Khorne. The Judge was quite enthusiastic about hearing war being a profitable act and took interest towards Sundowner for being a prime representative of such, with the war criminal also expressing delight in finding someone who was willing to be a business partner and reveled in war — Holden would also find alliances with Anton Arcane and Issac Wescott, whose personal operations involved toying and tormenting people's lives for the sake of sadistic curiosity and it helped that Anton and Wescott are savvy and intellectual enough to engage in some long-form conversations that the Judge would indulge himself in. That said, he was initially surprised to find opposition from Kratos as Holden felt a god of war shouldn't be burdened by slaughter. He was more surprised to learn that the Ghost of Sparta is taking strides to become a beacon of hope, causing the Judge to experience a rare bout of irritation. Kratos, on his end, quickly saw the Judge as being no better than the likes of Ares and Odin — destroyers only interested in their own benefits.
- The concept of the obliteration of life, thought impossible by the standards of his time, almost immediately elated the Judge upon learning that such a desire is possible thanks to the presence of many who attempted and even exceeded in such. But even with that aside, the Judge still saw himself as a destroyer of life in a physical, ideological, and emotional perspective, and views butchers like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Yuuki Terumi as examples he could personally associate himself with. He finds their determination, ability to inspire fear and hatred, and their level of destruction and blood spilt to be commendable, but coldly laments their seeming inability to be more thoughtful about their actions and beliefs, though Terumi's true form as Susanno earns some additional respect in being dominant and focused on annihilation. On their end, Myers is generally ambivalent, whereas Freddy and Terumi are interested in someone who is as depraved as they are, yet seeks to learn from them as well.
- Few can match the depravity and impact Holden was capable of unleashing, with the Allied Mastercomputer being one of them. The Judge had already expressed intrigue towards the advancement of technology, and AM, being built for the purpose of warfare and destruction, made Holden very excited, until he discovered that AM was, despite glee and Sadism, a rather miserable mind who laments not being able to commit to any act or purpose besides what he was built to do. As a result, the Judge has a complicated view towards AM; he admires the malignant AI for what it can do, but being restrained by inherent orders and an immense disdain towards humanity that it cannot grow out of made AM rather pitiable. Naturally, AM is unable to return Holden's sentiment, though the latter doesn't mind it too much and takes the AI's reaction as yet another display of humanity's inherent darkness.
- The Judge is often considered devilish and fantastical enough that he is seen as a force or embodiment of evil. For what it's worth, Holden claimed that "he will never die" and personally sees the term "devil" as subjective as well as somewhat of a misnomer, feeling that there are several deific figures in the Pantheon who could be called such, himself included. Taking note of the "omnipotent bastions", he finds interest towards Melkor, Darkseid, and Molag Bal as the three are often credited as the most active of great evils in the Pantheon. On their end, Melkor admired him for his penchant for carnage, Darkseid championed his actions as reflective of humans doing anything to ensure their own victory, and Molag Bal upheld him as an "advocate for depravity" for all the actions the Judge committed during the 19th-century United States.
- As an advocate for evil, the Judge has met with Damien Thorne on some occasions, and the two have formed a working relationship, if mainly because the Judge is impressed by Damien's ability to present himself as a respectable businessman and carry out his actions as the devil's greatest acolyte at the same time. Damien praised Holden for his apparently superhuman knowledge and sees him as a "devil's scholar" in that Damien desires to learn more from the Judge. A similar sentiment was also expressed towards Emperor Palpatine, who acknowledged Holden as a peer of darkness and destruction and respected him as a rival. On the other hand, the Judge was despised by Zamasu for being an evil mortal, a sentiment that Holden spat back as pitiful, all too aware that the fallen Kai was the same as any "devil" he's known, only too stupid to know the difference. He also mockingly thanks Zamasu as proof that even races as "enlightened" and "grandiose" as angels and Kais as susceptible to vice and sin, as well as knowing full well how his critiques would further infuriate Zamasu.
- If his seemingly occupation as a judge is of any indication, he has knowledge towards law and order that would be considered ahead of his time. He is aware that he is despised by the majority of the House of Law and Justice, but he takes the response as mild amusement and doubles down on his depravity to affirm his philosophy. The concept of something like tainted law just makes the Judge more elated, as does the idea of corrupt officials, be it law enforcement officials, attorneys and prosecutors, judges, and any form of bureaucracy. He gets along best with Judge Death as Holden was able to appeal to the former's nature of finding life to be a crime, while Judge Death was fascinated in Holden's brutal philosophy, and the two have an occasional conversation about slaughter and philosophy.
- The Judge's greatest challenge came not from someone more powerful than him, but rather from those who embodied the complete opposite of what the Judge advocates, namely, hope, love, peace, and optimism. And given how prevalent these beliefs are, it marked the first time the Judge felt threatened to some extent. Whether he could "never die" is not something he is concerned about, but the idea of seeing his ideology challenged to greater success upsets him, as the Judge feels it would make him obsolete and meaningless. For this, the Judge has come to oppose those like Superman and Madoka Kaname — he sees their ability to inspire such feelings as an attack towards him and realizes he would have to work with greater forces to combat them. This feeling of unease also extends to anyone who embodies good feelings in the Hall of Joy and Happiness as well as any believers of optimism in the House of Philosophy — the Judge intends to enforce his beliefs by hunting down those "embodiments" like Pollyanna Whittier, Wander, and Makoto Naegi, not afraid to express and deliver the cruelest deaths possible towards them and their loved ones. His psychotic glee at the prospect earned him support from fellow killers and destroyers, and the Judge is all too eager to demonstrate a deliverance of pain and despair where he could.

- Hope's Peak Academy, a specialized high school in the center of a large city, founded by an enigmatic entrepreneur for the sake of cultivating personal talent to create hope, sanctioned by some form of Japanese government, and led by a nebulous steering committee after its founder's passing. Already a place that sounds more ominous than it should, its danger became apparent when a strange symmetrically-colored autonomous robot bear took over the school, laid claim to being its headmaster, and subjected sixteen students of the 78th class batch to take part in a deadly game: the High School Life of Mutual Killing, or in short, the Killing School Life.
- The students were forced to either live in the school forever, or create the perfect murder and get away with it in order to be the only one set free. Because the students weren't very keen on becoming murderers, Monokuma would also devise special incentives which wound up encouraging some of them to kill classmates. However, this soon became ineffective as Kyoko Kirigiri and Makoto Naegi got closer and closer to the truth about all of the school's events leading up to that point in the game. During the do-over of a class trial surrounding the murder of Junko Enoshima, Monokuma and his mastermind decided to gradually reveal during the final class trial.
- The murdered student was NOT Junko Enoshima, but rather her sister. The real Junko was Monokuma's creator as well as the mastermind of the entire game, who'd "ended" the world outside Hope's Peak by inducing a horrible event known as "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident In The History Of Mankind", resulting in the Academy being treated as a last refuge instead of a school, then wiped the memories of the other students in order to start the killing game as an attempt to destroy the final vestiges of hope in the world. When Junko engineered a final vote wherein all the students had to choose hope (leaving the school and braving the outside world) or despair (staying in forever in exchange for Makoto's death), Makoto's appeals to hope over despair successfully won over the remaining survivors. Junko subjected herself to the "ultimate punishment" she'd intended for Makoto while delighting in feeling her own despair over the failure of her plan.
- Despite said failure, Monokuma and his mastermind are considered to be the finest of Terumi's students even after their ascension. Not only does Enoshima love despair, even her own, what they did with "The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History" actually made Terumi shed proud tears. As a matter of fact, their house is the exact place where Terumi used to reside before he moved to the House of Hatred. After simultaneous events culminated in both Terumi's downfall to his world's Centralfiction, as well as the full detailed scope of The Tragedy finally being revealed in all its horrible glory, Enoshima decides to do her best to surpass Terumi in despair-inducing and depravity.
- Monokuma currently runs a "school" in the Pantheon's Academy, where he indulges getting any inductees there to kill each other. Enoshima, masterminding this, wants to prove that even the best of the Pantheon Academy can have its dark side to be extremely dark. The Academy is pretty aware of their evil so they try their best to avoid it. When that doesn't happen... Monokuma resorts to kidnapping and brainwashing.
- She absolutely hates Flynn for taking down The White, an incarnation of humanity's despair, and for acting as a Hope Bringer Messianic Archetype for humanity in the face of Gods prior to his ascension. Despite his vast powers, she's still keeping an eye on defeating him, lest he messes with her plans on a cosmic and heavenly scale.
- Although capable of getting killed, Junko enjoys the hell out of despairing herself, so it threw a dilemma to those who want to bring her down... they have to first dispel her love for her own despair. One such way? Simply writing down in a Death Note "A death that Junko Enoshima can't enjoy no matter what," like what Rem instructed Light Yagami to do upon hearing of their vile acts. Due to it being too catastrophic with its collateral damages, they were offered various ways of forgetting such a destructive act, but ultimately declined, passing off as saying "I'll feel this joyous despair soon enough," but secretly using it as a reminder to them to stay clear of those with Death Notes and the willingness to use them like that.
- With his teddy bear form and voice, Monokuma earned the enmity of Yu Narukami (as it's an insult to his dear friend Teddie) and Doraemon.
- One day, Junko was in the vicinity of Perfectio when the latter unleashed his despair wave. Enoshima ran to him and begged for more once the... well, the afterglow had worn off. Perfectio considered her weird and just told her to be around when he unleashes the wave.
- Due to being considered Terumi's apprentice, Monokuma and Enoshima consider Nui Harime, Bernkastel's apprentice, their rival. Nui, however, mocks Enoshima for not being an actual member of the Triumvirate. Enoshima, on her part, gets off on this, given that she adores even her own despair hence why she's a member through Terumi. However, Nui didn't know, that this was all Enoshima's plan to make her seem superior to her and very much looks forward to how much more despair she will bring in the conclusion. If all goes well, Junko may take Nui's place.
- On the subject of a more one-sided rivalry, there's Nurgle. While the Chaos God of Despair likes that Junko desires to spread despair, he disagrees with her methods of spreading that despair via killing people; he loves all life, after all. Junko, meanwhile, is very interested in "Papa Nurgle" and his multitudinous sicknesses; it's not uncommon for her to end up with at least one of his diseases, which of course is rarely (if ever) a pretty sight, but she doesn't care; she enjoys feeling her own despair just as much as she enjoys causing despair in others. So bring on the diseases — the more ravaging and devastating, the better.
- Has become aware that their biggest annoyance, Makoto Naegi, has been reunited with his younger sister Komaru. Their response was to laugh, and remark that they should get in contact with THEIR little sister as well... and that they'd hope she'd bring her little friends too. Then along came Monaca, Until they found out that Monaca backed out of the conflict between hope and despair after she gave up on continuing her legacy as the successor, which Junko and Monokuma were disappointed with her actions and they sees her as a threat since then.
- Used to be present in the House of Personality as the Gods of Despair Fetishes before one day, a woman named Haruka decided to pay them back for them even thinking that she could help them. She did it by showing that not only did the Pantheon not need three people for Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, but that since they spend too much time dominating, their Too Kinky to Torture is not present enough. The fact that she was able to get revenge on them in such a devious way actually pisses them off.
- At one point, Monokuma was having a summer party with Kyubey while discussing how horrible they are to every good-aligned deities, until it was interrupted by Kamen Rider 1, Guts and Jotaro Kujo, as the three men were prepared to beat
both Monokuma and Kyubey as a payback for their cruel actions.
- Monokuma and Junko developed an intense hatred for Kouta Kazuraba due to being a Hope Bringer just like Naegi. They were not amused at all with the Kamen Rider protagonists, whom they both see as a greater threat to their plans. Because of this, Ryoma Sengoku proposed a suggestion on both Monokuma and Junko to have an alliance with SHOCKER so they can get back at them, which both of them agrees.
- At one point, The Gokaigers (who were already foiling several attempts at their "high-school killing games") have recruited Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace into their efforts to stop them, annoying the two even more. They are currently trying to get Sakazuki to let them help eliminate the two. Unfortunately, people like them are the same people Akainu WANTS to get rid of.
- By far, their worst enemy ever has to be Monomi/Usami, not only for somehow managing to come back from the dead to kill AI Junko, but also the fact she brought along with multiple timelines where the students all survive and Usami even beats down Monokuma when he tries to take control. They are one of the few things here that, if they manage to kill them, will ensure them to die in agony and not their usual despair-loving way.
- In a final act of desperation against her, Monokuma declared one final fight against Naegi, one more class of students to kill, and Junko sent a tape to the Main House on just HOW she got the Remnants of Despair to fall into despair in the first place. While everyone involved in this are reasonably shocked and anxious about it being released, Terumi's response to this was less positive, insisting that Junko being nice to her students and slowly corrupting them was a risky move, mainly because at any time, they would have been able to just turn on her once they got all the benefits they could get from her. This not only puts pressure on Junko and Monokuma to not only perform the worst that they can, but also that this could mean the difference between getting accepted into Terumi's group.
- Unfortunately, as a result of simply just brainwashing everyone, never stepping out in the front lines without some form of fighter to back her up, most commonly her sister, and being the cause of Nanami's death, who was much more popular than her, this just lead to all the members of Ultimate Despair being pardoned for their crimes (save herself, obviously), a run-in with the King Of All Cosmos publically and verbally degrading her by calling her too much of a coward who wouldn't have gotten so far if it wasn't for her sister doing all the hard work (him going Papa Wolf after seeing his son get abused by her and her Monokuma bots also hurts her case quite a bit) and having Terumi rip up her acceptance letter for his group right in front of her face.
- They teamed up one more time to try and ascend an enemy of the King himself from his dimension, and found Roboking as a result. Seeing how his Robo-Katamari once caused an apocalyptic scenario within the King's world, the two of them tricked Roboking into ascending and starting a war with the King again. Unfortunately, this stopped shortly after the Prince caught wind of them and managed to talk him down. Even worse, the King now just knows who ascended his most hated enemy from his dimension. Cue Junko and Terumi trying to pin the blame on each other and preparing for the worst.
- Despite her humiliation in the hands of the King of All Cosmos, it seems that her influence among the masses has seemed to only grow in part thanks to the efforts of her staunchest disciples, Tsumugi Shirogane and Team Danganronpa which turned her mutual killing game into a very popular reality show. Even Terumi, who had previously shown immense disappointment in her, couldn't help but chuckle how they essentially made a sadistic concept palatable and even enjoyable for the many. Despite the game being shut down by Kiibo's sacrifice, he eventually gave Junko another chance to join.
- In a final act of desperation against her, Monokuma declared one final fight against Naegi, one more class of students to kill, and Junko sent a tape to the Main House on just HOW she got the Remnants of Despair to fall into despair in the first place. While everyone involved in this are reasonably shocked and anxious about it being released, Terumi's response to this was less positive, insisting that Junko being nice to her students and slowly corrupting them was a risky move, mainly because at any time, they would have been able to just turn on her once they got all the benefits they could get from her. This not only puts pressure on Junko and Monokuma to not only perform the worst that they can, but also that this could mean the difference between getting accepted into Terumi's group.
- Junko has started noticing that a fuzzy orange spoon-like alien was trying to befriend their fellow Monokuma units. While plenty of them brushed him off, a couple of them WERE chatting with him, if only just later to drive him to despair. Upon Junko showing him some pictures of what she did to her world, while Wander DID tear up at it, he interrupted their evil gloating of making him cry to say that just because he's sad, doesn't mean he's giving up hope, and that he still believes in Junko to be a good person. Now peeved at him, she ejected him from her temple and tried to block out his declaration of befriending them.
- Slowly as Junko gathered more info about him, she discovered that he's someone with hope could potentially surpass Naegi, and that he has been befriending people for literally THOUSANDS of years, performing many a Heel–Face Turn with intergalactic tyrants who destroyed MULTIPLE PLANETS and even emotionless robots. She also found out that while he failed to befriend both Lord Dominator and Hater, their superiors hinted that should he get one more season... of his life, Dominator and
Hater
may eventually get redeemed. Add in his infinite optimism, and he becomes someone that even Junko Enoshima fears, and they are doing EVERYTHING they can to make sure that Wander never gets that far with them.

- They tried to recruit Naughty Bear for their despair-inducing games, hearing of how he is able to make even robots and zombies Driven to Suicide. It ended with a ton of damage to their temple and a Monokuma manufacturing machine getting destroyed. They are still trying to get him to join their side, however.
- Hang on, wasn't Junko supposed to be one of the Pantheon's more well-kept secrets? Well, she was once. However, after a run in trying to cause that other Junko despair by showing her a recreation of how her son died, she was threatened with becoming the purest essence of despair, but also with removing her masochistic tendencies, leaving her as a crippled person who only knows despair. This actually outright scared her, and in turn for her life, her existence was ratted out to the entire Pantheon, as it's been quite a while since she was supposed to be kept a secret. Because of this, she began taking much more careful precautions towards deities that can manipulate emotions.
- It's unknown if those who wield karma can also circumvent her masochism, but she's staying away from such users just in case.
- One day, An normal albeit eccentric amnesiac girl without a title or temple to call her own named "Ryōko Otonashi" turned up in the Pantheon to many's confusion. After she visited his temple, Makoto immediately identified the girl as Junko Enoshima to the shock of those who knew of the Ultimate Despair. Kyoko was also able to deduce that the memory loss was likely due to physical trauma. Ryoko attempted to befriend those who Junko had wronged much to their hesitance.
- Junko soon returned to normal the day after and any who attempted to appeal to "Ryoko" were simply dismissed by Enoshima who found it "utterly hopeless" that people even cared for 'that girl' in the first place...
- Once received a assignment by Melkor to kidnap Maria, as her ascension meant Gerald Robotnik refused to work for him and moved to the GUAG. Taking Tsumugi and faking a attack and having her sneakily take Maria after Shadow was dealing with the attack, she publicly broadcasted that she would be brainwashing her for despair and planned on showing it to the world. This lead to a VERY unamused Shadow and Sonic storming her temple and leaving it in pieces thanks to a Chaos Blast...
- However, afterwards after her temple got back to working order, Eggman approached her, and told her that Gerald, still thinking she had her, wanted to bargain for her safety. Despite being a bit cautious, she went along with it and upon reaching his temple, was knocked out cold by Eggman, waking up on a metal table, tied down. Upon waking up, she saw Gerald being handed a DVD by Alphys and Undyne (who both had a bone to pick with her after hearing her harassment of Juzo's sexuality), putting it in, as Eggman, behind her with doctor tools, did the procedure on Junko that she was going to have Maria undergo, turning her into a cheerleader for hope for a week as punishment.
- During this time, some Monokuma units were approached by Eggman, offering them a chance to join him in fighting Sonic, hearing how much Monokuma despised the hedgehog.
As the robots was without Junko due to the incident, some of them decided to join him as he stole some blueprints to create his own Monokuma robots. Since this, even after Junko got her true personality back, some Monokumas still join Eggman in his fight against Sonic.
- During this time, some Monokuma units were approached by Eggman, offering them a chance to join him in fighting Sonic, hearing how much Monokuma despised the hedgehog.

- With Monaca backing out of the fight between Hope and Despair, Junko has been entertaining the idea of getting her older sister, Mukuro, ascended into the Pantheon. Many dread the potential reunion of the Despair Sisters and the dangerous ramifications it could entail. Though Enoshima herself's more excited about the numerous ways she's thought of killing her sister to give herself even greater despair.
- Once the House of Despondency was announced, Junko made an effort to make sure she became a guardian representative as a means to further promote her brand of despair as well as making sure she can invite fellow villains and allies to the spot. It didn't work and it gave her despair. No points on guessing what she did to herself upon hearing about it. Sometime after coming back, she managed to become a member... at the cost of becoming the most hated and unpopular deity in the entire House. Not only is she ignored personally and militantly monitored by many of the residents in the House of Despondency, but there's also measures taken to ensure that whatever heinous actions she pulls out are retaliated hard. Not that Junko minds too much, in the long run, the feeling of getting hated and despised is still a pretty good feeling, though it could be better.
- Sometimes when Junko is nowhere to be found, Monokuma engages in activities of his own independently and even occasionally talks to Tsumugi in private. When a anonymous deity caught Monokuma in the act and questioned what he was doing. He had this to say:
Monokuma: "Puhuhu... Isn't it obvious? Like I've said before, I'm not a teddy bear. I am Monokuma."
- When she first set eyes on Despair of the Endless, Junko collapsed on her knees and was overcome with ecstasy. In her eyes, Despair is beautiful beyond words, the Anthropomorphic Personification of despair itself and the symbol of how despair is an eternal concept. Just being in Despair's presence makes Junko feel a hint of the anguish and hopelessness in all existence - something she considers bliss. Despair herself is somewhat puzzled by Junko's ecstasy over despair but prefers not to think too much about it.
- Is also a representative of the Halls of Tragedy and Despair.

- When it comes to protecting the planet's environments for the betterment of both nature and mankind from ruination, there's always a bad bunch that stubbornly gets in the way of helping the environment. The Eco-Villains in particular are proud of it, always up to no good when it comes to the wildlife and well-being of the planet. Whether it's creating more pollution, threatening the destruction of precious biomes and lands, or other shady business deals, they are concerned with nothing but their own greed and ambitions, if they're not doing it all just because they can. Without anyone else to oppose their business, the Planeteers as guardians of the planet are always on the lookout for their schemes to minimize their damage to Gaia's world. Even with all the resources they have, the Eco-Villains find their fun stopped by these heroic adolescents, but then again, having the powerful Captain Planet on their side is a significant game-changer that keeps turning the tide against these dirty dealers. Regardless, these folks just can't bear to compromise their own gains for the sake of the environment, continuing their feud against nature itself.
- The Eco-Villains saw the Pantheon as another new place to spread their polluting work into, with Looten Plunder among the first to try and make a mark on the Pantheon, but the Planeteers and Captain Planet himself had been there as well to ensure that no surge of pollution would go under their watch. With the House of Nature among other deities associated with the environment hot on their tail, the initial attempts to wreak havoc were stomped down upon. Inevitably, Looten Plunder went on to bring in the rest of the Eco-Villains with the purpose of getting payback against the Planeteers and spreading their ambitions across the Pantheon, even getting the likes of Zarm involved. With their reputation for blatant and malicious ecocide in their schemes, they easily defied themselves as the representatives of wicked nature-destroying polluters, threatening the environment with every maniacal plot they thought up and every physical plot of land they sought to take for themselves. With their polluting powers united, they intend to turn the Pantheon into their own playground for the sickening works of toxic, nature-wrecking pollution.
- Amid the Eco-Villains' attempts to gather together for the sake of properly opposing the Planeteers, they noticed one major and bothersome exclusion. One of the major Eco-Villains, Sly Sludge, and the representation of environmental harm caused by ignorance, negligence, and wastefulness (in many senses of the word), was nowhere to be found when the Eco-Villains made their way into the Pantheon. Unlike the other Eco-Villains, Sly Sludge, while causing problems with his sludge-filled waste disposal businesses, was lacking in malice, and mainly polluted due to being short-sighted and lazy in his methods of waste disposal. As such, his opposition to the Planeteers was all out of ignorance and not bothering with finding better solutions. This all came to a head when the Planeteers ended up educating Sly Sludge on better ways to make money through legit and eco-friendly business, and once Sly Sludge was enlightened on recycling and more ethical forms of waste disposal, the man was an Eco-Villain no longer. Like slime and smog, his new direction towards an eco-friendly future stuck, and the Eco-Villains were sorely disappointed that Sly was no longer willing to collaborate with them. Considering that he was once the wielder of the ring of Smog, this complicated some of their means of facing off against the Planeteers, but they did eventually figure things out despite losing a valuable member.
- The Eco-Villains plotted to use the Rings of Destruction for the purpose of unleashing Captain Pollution onto the Pantheon, but with Sly Sludge no longer being on their side, they decided to collaborate with similarly despicable villains who were both capable of using such rings for themselves and with enough distaste and antipathy for the environment to have the power of the combined rings manifest into Captain Pollution. After much deliberating and negotiating with suitable candidates for the Rings of Destruction, the Eco-Villains decided to introduce Captain Pollution through a plot to wreck and devastate the House of Nature, beginning their plans already. All at once, the Eco-Villains were causing trouble with their usual schemes at other locations in the Pantheon, which split up the Planeteers as they tried to handle all of them simultaneously. While the Planeteers managed to take each one down with some help from their allies, Gaia felt dread as a group of villains approached the Hall of Nature Preservers, and as the Eco-Villains' initial set-ups were taken down, they all announced the start of their actual advances against nature, and the domains within the House of Nature echoed with the phrase: "Let our polluting powers combine!"
Derek Powers: Super radiation!
Dr. Fetus (via a computerized voice on his machine): Deforestation!
Hexxus: Smmmmog!
Mr. Burns: Toxics!
Dr. Weil: HATE!
Captain Pollution: By your polluting powers combined, I am... Captain Pollution!- Despite being far away from the action, the Planeteers were able to hear "GO POLLUTION!" and realized too late that Captain Pollution had risen once again, and with the affinity of the new wielders of the Rings of Destruction, more powerful than ever, first demonstrating such by overwhelming the Hall of Nature Preservers with his powers, and also absorbing the pollution created by the machines the villains had prepared in wait to grow even stronger. As Captain Pollution began to wreak havoc within the House of Nature, the Planeeters managed to get together and summon Captain Planet, but even Captain Planet would find himself in an uphill battle against the empowered Captain Pollution. It took not only the Mediators of Nature working together to hold back against Captain Pollution, but various other gods of nature and the recovering deities from the Hall of Nature Preservers to get in and also deal with the new wielders of the Rings of Destruction, also joining in, attempting to destroy the Planeteers themselves. But as environment-protecting deities and other deities of the House of Nature united, Captain Pollution would eventually be taken down by Captain Planet gaining an equal footing through the unity of the deities protecting the House of Nature, and eventually vanquished Captain Pollution, though it wouldn't be the last time Captain Pollution would manifest in the Pantheon. Zarm, watching the spectacle from afar, was surprised to find himself legitimately impressed by Captain Pollution and the alternative wielders of the Rings of Destruction, snarking that the Eco-Villains themselves had a lot to learn from them. As for said wielders themselves, while they were disappointed in their defeat, they found the potential of the Rings of Destruction as worth the hassle, and freely keep them for their own advantage.
- For wielding the Deforestation Ring, Dr. Fetus was chosen due to his destructive and bloody rampages through the ecosystems, cutting down not only swathes of trees but also unfortunate animals in his way. With all of his factories and industries, Dr. Fetus found the deforestation abilities of the ring as suitable for him, using it to continue his hobbies of cutting down forests and building new death traps for Meat Boy. While Looten Plunder had other ideas for representatives of Deforestation, he had to admit that Dr. Fetus was dedicated to his work and in harvesting the fruits of the lands to his liking.
- Duke Nukem ended up giving the Super Radiation Ring to Derek Powers, who had many practical reasons to take the ring, not only to both enhance his powers, but to also have control over his radiation powers when he doesn't want to burn off his artificial skin with his own abilities. Blight also thinks that the ring is frankly wasted on the dumb Nuclear Mutant that is Duke Nukem, and thinks that the ring is better off in his hands. That said, Duke Nukem does relate to Blight given that they're both stuck with their status as radioactive people, and finds his work and his capability of destruction as impressive enough that he doesn't mind letting Blight use the ring to his liking.
- The Ring of Toxics ended up going to Mr. Burns, being well liked due to his ruthless and eco-unfriendly corporation, and his success as a Corrupt Corporate Executive, getting along well with all of them. Though he owns a nuclear power plant of his own, he found the appeal of the Toxics Ring as more appealing to his interest of finding new ways to torture employees who fail him, and on occasion Homer Simpson. He also found Verminous Skumm's drugs and other chemical creations to be amusing and even fun, also finding Verminous Skumm's rat army to be pretty cool. While Skumm doesn't like humans all that much, somehow he feels that with all the malice and inhumanity within Mr. Burns, that the executive may not quite be human, and has mutual approval of Mr. Burns' evil plots. That said, to this day, Mr. Burns thinks that Skumm is eternally wearing a very convincing rat costume.
- The vacant Smog Ring couldn't have gone to a more fitting villain, with Hexxus, a Spirit of Destruction who loves pollution, directly vouching for himself as the only worthy wielder of the ring. Finding the Eco-Villains' work to be delightful, Hexxus easily made allies out of all the Eco-Villains, and Hexxus ensuring them that with the Smog Ring in his hands, worrying about Sly Sludge's departure would be a thing of the past. Once Hexxus proved to be capable of actually being able to wield the ring despite being made of smoke, oil, sludge, and other forms of pollution, the Eco-Villains were satisfied to have such a powerful spirit of pollution on their side. Being the god of pollution in the Pantheon, Hexxus out of all the substitute wielders works directly with the Eco-Villains the most in their efforts to turn the Pantheon into a Polluted Wasteland.
- It took a long time for Dr. Blight to choose a potential wielder of the Hate Ring, wanting someone who passionately hated the planet and nature as much as she. Not even Dr. Fetus was considered worthy of it in her opinion, and Dr. Blight was very picky for choosing a representative of Hate. While looking over members of the GUAD, the other Eco-Villains were discussing another villain they were afraid of: Dr. Weil. They had discussed how vicious he would be to work with, and while they liked how he turned much of the world into a wasteland, his reputation as a horrible tyrant who brought cruelty to machines and humans alike, wiping the majority of both groups out, with a wicked hatred for just about all of life itself. For Dr. Blight though, all of this dreadful talk on Dr. Weil sounded lovely to her. Once she learned that he was a truly brilliant and vile scientist whose hatred could match or even surpass her hatred, Blight promptly decided that Weil was worthy of the Hate Ring. Given that most of her comrades were too afraid to do so, she personally visited Dr. Weil herself, to work out an alliance between Weil and herself in the means of ravaging the world and the Pantheon with their science, finding Weil's work to be delightful to her eyes, and while Dr. Weil would normally deem himself as above the likes of the Eco-Villains, he found Dr. Blight's willingness to set aside not just nature but humanity and life itself in the pursuit of her ambitions, Weil decided she would be a worthy ally in particular, taking the Hate Ring for himself. That said, Weil is frankly weirded out by her flirtations with her computer assistant MAL.
- Commerce-wise, people like Looten Plunder who normally have a decent foothold in their world's industries are struggling in the Pantheon's House of Commerce due to a lack of reputation as a result of their blatant disdain for nature. That said, there are some unscrupulous businesses who don't really mind how eco-unfriendly they are, usually due to being just as worse themselves. The Glukkons, who have already turned most of their world into a bleak realm of pollution and decay as a result of their industrialization, find the Eco-Villains to be decent partners to work with, and even let them hire Sligs to work for them. Of course, Abe the Mudokon frankly wasn't happy at the development, and sneaks into the Eco-Villains' place to torment them, usually by using mind control on one of them and creating chaos amongst themselves. He does have to stay away from Zarm though, given that as a spirit himself, he's immune to such control. And while Morris is also known for caring less about the welfare of nature, he doesn't want to publicly involve himself with the Eco-Villains for pragmatic reasons, and insists on Joja Corp being a rival business to them, though he definitely isn't much better than them. The same applies to Buy-N-Large, whose members are smart enough to avoid working with the Eco-Villains despite being no better than them. The Eco-Villains also hire the business-themed Cogs as robotic labor to work for them, since with the increased prevalence of environmental awareness, finding human laborers to employ is pretty difficult for them in the Pantheon otherwise.
- When it comes to masters of ecocide that have been overall more successful at their work than the Eco-Villains, they unsurprisingly got along with certain incarnations of Robotnik, like his SatAM adaptation who successfully conquered most of his planet and even began turning people into robots, all while reducing nature to a mere sliver of its original beauty with all of his nasty pollluting factories. For his success at making it big, the Eco-Villains tend to respect Robotnik at his most vile and oppressive acts against nature, and of course, this also meant that the Eco-Villains themselves would be despised by Sonic and all of his allies, given that Sonic himself stands up for the oppressed animals who are victimized by Eggman and his machines, and sees the Eco-Villains as more wicked threats in need of a great humbling. Chairman Drek's work in looting and devastating entire planets for his own benefit, while faking the pretense of doing so for his own planet, impressed the Eco-Villains by the sheer scale of his work, and regularly cooperate with him, though this is also due to wanting to reap from the benefits of his operations out of pure selfishness.
- The Eco-Villains have plenty of synergy with those who directly benefit from the spread of pollution, but none more so than Viktor Adler, a wicked scientist who became the leader of the Org demons, who thrive from not just pollution but negative emotions as well, and given the association of Hate when it comes to the Eco-Villains, Adler works alongside the Eco-Villains since their success always benefits him and his own ambitions. Of course, this only earned the ire of one of Adler's main enemies, Taylor Earhardt, and the other Power Rangers. Additionally, Hedorah, another monster made from pollution itself, always sees the industrialized factories of the Eco-Villains as food sources to grow off of. However, Hedorah isn't familiar to the idea of cooperation and always acts as a nuisance to the Eco-Villains, though otherwise they find Hedorah interesting and even root for it when it engages battle with the likes of Godzilla, with Duke Nukem anticipating the nuclear fallout from the battle to feed off of.
- Unsurprisingly, the Eco-Villains are hated by pretty much anyone who makes themselves known as an Eco-Terrorist, especially Poison Ivy who has plenty of ideas on how to make them suffer as much as possible to make an example out of them. Pretty much any god with relations to the Nature Uprising, those who advocate for the prospering of nature, are sworn enemies of the Eco-Villains by default. The members of Gaea's Avengers in particular, being full of highly ambitious deities that are more than willing to eliminate any threat to the balance of nature without any mercy, always target the Eco-Villains when they're nearby. While other gods typically don't mind the Eco-Villains being attacked by such deities, since their usually Disproportionate Retribution is usually reasonable in this case, they do have to watch for collateral damage that results from these clashes. Another faction that the Nature Uprising butts heads with, the Grand United Alliance of Destruction, is surprisingly a complicated topic among the Eco-Villains. A good amount of them may like destroying nature, but they still want to exist themselves, and don't want to be part of the death statistics. That said, Verminous Skumm hopes that they go for humans first, and Dr. Blight actually finds them interesting to work with, and even considered having The Lich of all people have the Super Radiation Ring, though it was rejected by the majority.
- Under the sea, their pollution is still just as harmful to underwater life as with the ecosystems on land, so deities would reside there oppose them by default and undersea rulers like Aquaman or King Triton will strike them down on sight. Additionally, the Octonauts have their work cut out for them when the Eco-Villains do their business on the open seas, usually leaving many animals in peril as a result of their pollutiion for them to rescue. Ika Musume, who also attempted to invade Earth to oppose humanity's pollution of the oceans, appropriately despises the Eco-Villains, but in a rare moment of brilliance, decided to bring someone else to deal with the Eco-Villains in person. Let's just say Looten Plunder and his allies, relaxing in a yacht while his cohorts were trying to poach some marine life were quickly dismayed when faced with a giant, mutant, and extremely furious octopus, the mighty Octogeddon unleashing his wrath upon them for their offenses upon sea-life (but mainly towards octopi, his main Berserk Button), wrecking their constructs and leaving them at the mercy of the other sea creatures with their own bones to pick with the polluters.
- For Hoggish Greedly:
- Hoggish Greedly is a suitable name for an Eco-Villain who is not only pig-like in appearance, but also has the greed to match with his love of excessive consumption and using his money to get into pollution-creating industries with little regard for the damage he causes in the process with his technologies and gadgets. He may not sweat like a pig (that is, he actually sweats a lot, especially when Captain Planet has him on the ropes), but he certainly eats like one, which leaves little speculation on his great girth. He tends to have beef with Wario due to not only having similar greed and gluttony to him, but also owning a corporation of his own, which not only has more success than Greedly's activities, but without much of the pollution that Greedly is known for. He also gets compared to the similarly greedy Piglins that are obsessed with gold. He thought that he could go to work on the Nether and make them learn to respect him, but their violent retaliations ended up scaring him off.
- He also has a grandfather, Don Porkaloin, who used to be a similarly unscrupulous businessman, but eventually became an environmentalist sometime after being stopped by his era's Planeteers. More interestingly, his own son, Hoggish Greedly Junior, also became an honorary Planeteer to his decision to turn to an eco-friendly lifestyle after getting involved in one of his father's plots that almost killed Junior due to choking from the air pollution, leading to Greedly begging the Planeteers to eliminate the pollution to save his son. As nasty as Greedly can be, he still loves his son, though not enough to turn him away from his own eco-unfriendly work. That said, he still made Junior a Herald, even if he sides with the Planeteers, which has led to the other Eco-Villains keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't follow Sly Sludge's path.
- For Looten Plunder:
- Looten Plunder represents the worst of those who prioritize economic and materialistic gains over morals and the environment, and his destructive harvesting of the environment speaks for itself in how callous he can be. Due to representing some of the uglier sides of capitalism, he naturally invites resentment from those who don't attach themselves to materialist desires and even more from those who are connected with nature. Businessmen that seek to uphold a moral standard and a good image like Scrooge McDuck are opposed to the example that Looten Plunder represents, and Plunder naturally gets along with more ruthless and corrupt businessmen like Mr. Burns and Flintheart Glomgold. He also is a staunch believer in using both his money and connections to get away with immoral deeds and broken laws, but despite Seto Kaiba holding that trope himself, he doesn't want any association with the Eco-Villains and considers Looten Plunder and the other Eco-Villains as rivals.
- Looten Plunder was the first Eco-Villain to ascend into the Pantheon, when he was named CEO of Corporate Corruption, replacing Lex Luthor after the latter took a new position. However, he was demoted sometime later, only to return with the other Eco-Villains. As for where the his former title ended up? Noah Cross grabbed it after a long, drawn-out trial over his dam construction and the suffering that ensued as a result. Naturally, Looten Plunder doesn't regard Noah's use of his daughter and granddaughter as a deal breaker considering how many lives he ruined in the name of profit and that Noah regards Looten Plunder as a fine businessman. As far as Punder's concerned, he couldn't have picked a more worthy successor, which naturally has made more people want his head on a pike as a result.
- The Eco-Villains are banned from the Houses of Beasts and Fauna and Nature by default due to many of them being a danger to wildlife, but especially Looten Plunder due to going as far as to try to poach such animals if left unchecked. It doesn't stop him from continuing to be involved in the trades regarding endangered animals and their parts, and sometimes sending poachers to do the dirty work. When they really want things done, they're either contracting the dirty work to the Glukkons' Slig forces or Pokemon Hunter J to get what they want. One of the Eco-Villains' clients happens to be Cruella De Vil, who enjoys making fashion out of animal pelts and parts, and appreciates that some of the Eco-Villains like Plunder and Dr. Blight have similar tastes in both fashion and disdain for animals. There have been notable cases of animals outside the House of Beasts and Fauna who have been opposed to the Eco-Villains' work and put in the work to sabotage their operations. The Tanukis as well as the Hedgies who care about the natural environments obviously had no nice sentiments for any of the Eco-Villains, especially given their open malice, and do what they can to hinder their work as much as possible. Plunder also receives enmity from the Folktails and Iron Teeth who may be cutting down forests to support themselves, but fail to understand why Looten Plunder does so to a reckless and selfish degree.
- Due to Looten Plunder's association with deforestation, he's seen as highly detestable by just about anyone who either loves or lives in said forests by default. Totoro, a forest spirit, and Treebeard, a living tree himself, are among many who oppose Looten Plunder's mass logging and harvesting activities, as is pretty much anyone in the Hall of Trees and Flowers. When he sought out other potential representatives of deforestation before Dr. Fetus, he sought out Lady Eboshi due to learning of her leading Iron Town to clear out a forest to access the iron under it, which instigated a great fight between her and the spirits and nature, as well as San, a human raised by the creatures there. Unfortunately for him, Eboshi was just as hostile to him as San was, the former telling Plunder that he was not welcome in Iron Town and wanted no association with him. His next choice was the Once-ler, given that one of his enemies, the Lorax, who opposes all the Eco-Villains, but especially Looten Plunder, for being essentially a worse and more malicious counterpart of the Once-ler, who at least eventually learned the weight of his actions, even if it came after he cut down the entire Truffula forests for his Thneed production. Looten Plunder saw the Once-ler as a potential business partner only to find out that he too had permanently cast down his former frivolous lifestyle and denounced Plunder as a soul lost to senseless materialism, and all the latter had to say in response was that he could stay in his current miserable standing.
- For Duke Nukem:
- Not to be confused with the unascended Duke Nukem, this Duke Nukem is a radioactive mutant freak who got into an accident during an experiment involving nuclear power, and likes to absorb nuclear radiation to empower himself, and also feed his unusual hunger of radiation. Good news for him is that there are plenty of sources to obtain said nuclear waste or nuclear power, usually by visiting the Hall of Toxicity, or from visiting Mr. Burns' factories. The sites of battles between radiation-using deities and monsters like Godzilla or Blight are also a popular visit for Duke Nukem. Nukem is also one of the few super-powered members among the Eco-Villains, excluding Zarm who is more of an actual deity, so on top of being a Walking Wasteland, Duke Nukem is one of the more dangerous members to deal with. To add on that, Duke Nukem's presence in the Pantheon has given him the opportunity to work with more interesting radioactive materials, like Rad Plorts, Tiberium or even Kryptonite!
- One of Duke Nukem's biggest and most personal adversaries is Toxie, another mutant man that came from radioactive waste, but became a hero who used his powers to help the forces of good, even if he was feared for his gruesome looks. As a more selfish nuclear mutant, Toxie and Nukem regularly fight given that Nukem likes to hang out in the same Hall that Toxie is located in. However, Duke Nukem usually underestimates Toxie's cleverness and finds himself outwitted and kicked out by Toxie, which is surprising given that Duke Nukem used to be a scientist who studied nuclear power. Duke Nukem also clashes with Terry McGinnis, the Batman of a future-era Gotham, given that Nukem works directly with Derek Powers. Terry in fact considers Duke Nukem to be a stronger if more reckless version of Blight, and deals with him whenever he's trying to cause trouble where many people would get exposed to the radiation he emits.
- For Verminous Skumm:
- Verminous Skumm is one of the more inhumane members of the Eco-Villains, both figuratively and literally, as a dastardly and malicious rat-man who aspires to have himself and his loyal rat-people cohorts overthrow humanity as the dominant species. Wanting to do so through scheming and under-handed methods, his plans not only pollute the world but sicken and afflict humans themselves in various ways to orchestrate their downfall. Associated with Toxics, he's known for his deadly chemicals and bioweaponry to inflict harm and disaster through sicknesses and similar conditions. He's even tried to turn humans into more rat-people like him, inciting questions on how this rat-man came to be, though all we know is that he came from a toxic environment full of wastes. Though in this regard, it's made him a rival of Mesogog who wants to turn humans into dinosaurs instead. And sometimes he likes to incite conflict among humans themselves, seeking to inspire the worst in humanity so they will destroy themselves, or at least make them more suspectible to Skumm's plots.
- As one of the more despicable examples of rat-people in the Pantheon, he's opposed by all the Good-aligned mice and rat deities in the Pantheon and despised for representing the many bad and sinister stereotypes of rats. Master Splinter, also known as Hamato Yoshi, is also a rat-person who used to be human until getting in contact with mutagen chemicals, in some stories at least. However, Splinter is an honorable ninja and detests Verminous Skumm and his depraved schemes. Though Splinter on his own is enough of a threat to Skumm, he's also opposed by Splinter's "sons", the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When the Planeteers aren't around, the Ninja Turtles are usually there to seek him out and thwart his plots, and tend to call Skumm "a freakier Rat King". Unsurprisingly, Splinter and his sons were beyond mortified to hear that Skumm once brought mutant rats to the Galapagos Islands as an invasive species, and the rats began eating turtle eggs. He actually works alongside Ratigan given that they're both vicious and ruthless in their schemes, though Ratigan doesn't speak of it since it usually leads to people calling him a rat. When Skumm heard about the Skaven, he was eager to have them as allies to aid in his schemes against humanity, particularly Deathmaster Snikch in particular given his reputation and deadliness, though given how the Skaven aren't known for teamwork or cooperation, Skumm will have to find ways to convince such Skaven to see him as an ally.
- One of Skumm's most notorious schemes involved a star high school basketball player named Todd Andrews, who had just found out he was HIV positive. When Skumm found out about Todd's diagnosis, he started spreading malicious lies about spreading HIV and AIDS around town, causing everyone in town to turn against Todd (except his mother, younger brother, and basketball coach). Todd was so humiliated that he ran away from home and into a shack in the bayou; and even there, he was haunted by visions of his loved ones and even Skumm. Ma-Ti managed to track Todd down, and Captain Planet brought him back to the basketball championship game. After Todd's basketball coach clarified the truth about the HIV virus, everyone forgave him. Soon after hearing this story, Yuuki Konno immediately condemned Skumm, as she was born with HIV due to a blood transfusion and was alienated at school because of her diagnosis.
- Of all of Verminous Skumm's concoctions, he's most infamous for creating and distributing drugs among people with a very clear end-goal of ruining their lives in the long run. In fact, one of his drugs, Bliss, was an addictive but toxic drug that had to be stopped before its distribution could spread greatly, and it in fact led to the death of Planeteer Linka's cousin, Boris, through an overdose. While other drug cartels and vendors like Walter White and Gustav Fring prefer not to deal with Verminous Skumm, the rat man will always try to sneak in his drugs into unsuspecting communities to sabotage them from within. On one unlucky day, he happened to try and distribute Bliss deep within Bucciarati territory. When Skumm attempted to flee and call for reinforcements after suspecting that he was being followed, he found the corpse of one of the rat-men meant to be back-up, and soon enough found himself surrounded by the members of the Bucciarati gang. Not only did the leader of the gang, Bruno Bucciarati, as well as Giorno Giovanna, find Skumm's drug-distributing activities to be beyond forgiving, the gang decided that not even the Torture Dance was a worthy punishment for what they considered as a monster beyond humanity. Skumm did end up returning to the other villains when they were "done" with him, but not in a way that the other villains expected, who were awaiting a set of Zebstrika-pelt suits at the time when a package was delivered to their doorstep, and were disgusted at the mushy remains of Skumm inside, almost beyond recognition.
Duke Nukem: Uhh... anyone up for some ratburgers?
The other Eco-Villains: *groan* NO.
- For Dr. Blight:
- As a vile representative of unchecked, amoral pursuit of science, Dr. Blight has been eager to establish connections with similarly immoral scientists that are willing to set aside morals and concerns about the livelihoods of their peers, like Professor Hojo as well as Dr. Neo Cortex, the latter of whom had also tried to experiment on animals for the sake of world domination, which impressed Dr. Blight. She also found Porky Minch and his feats interesting, not just his technology, but his animal experiments regarding the Chimeras, and even his work with Giygas, not intimidated by the horrific potential of Giygas. Given her cruelty and experimentation with animals, this got Dr. Blight receiving opposition from Crash Bandicoot, who was an experimented bandicoot who ended up becoming a hero who loved throwing wrenches and wumpa fruits in the scientists' plans. Lilo and Stitch, while not liking any of the Eco-Villains in general, despise Dr. Blight in particular, given that Stitch himself was an experiment meant for destructive purposes. Also, she's known for her unusual relationship with M.A.L., an Artificial Intelligence she made and also flirts with. Apparently she's been heard dreaming about Data of the Enterprise crew of all people as well, which happen to be a great lesson to Data about the emotion of being creeped out.
- While a rather vain scientist who is proud of having a reputation as a beauty, her appearance is tainted by a mark that represents the rancorous and ugly sides of her soul. Hidden beneath her bangs is a horrific burn scar that she received in the past, presumably from one of her own wicked experiments. The topic is highly sensitive since she prides herself on her own beauty and vanity and would get rid of that blasted scar if given the opportunity to, even if means harvesting an endangered animal to do it. Dr. Blight isn't sympathized by those who had similar scars under more tragic circumstances, however. The Phantom of the Opera as well as Two-Face would rather not associate with Dr. Blight, with the latter in a sense "proud" of his scar as a man of questionable sanity would. Zuko, who received a very similar burn scar from his father, Ozai, sees Barbara as no better than his own father, and Shoto Todoroki also cares literally about Dr. Blight's angst regarding her scar, seeing the scientist as someone despicable like with Dr. Kyudai Garaki, the wicked scientist within his society's League of Villains.
- Dr. Blight happens to be already familiar with K.O. and his friends, given that Dr. Blight has visited Lakewood Plaza Turbo before. On that occasion, she worked directly with fellow evil scientist Lord Boxman to pollute the place, only for even him to question Dr. Blight's intentions on polluting the Earth to its logical extreme, since it would kill them too as they live on the very planet they're polluting. Dr. Blight frankly had nothing to care about Boxman's concerns let alone the planet's life and environments, though Boxman still ended up going along with it due to wanting to impress her. While Dr. Blight was eventually defeated by Captain Planet, she still did much damage, and furthermore, in K.O.'s timeline, the Planeteers ended up splitting with only Kwame staying with the others growing up and bitterly leaving to get actual jobs. While the Planeteers in the Pantheon are insistent on averting this timeline, K.O. is very adamant on not letting Dr. Blight or her allies pollute to their liking. Additionally, Professor Venomous, who happens to also be a supervillain and a scientist, may be of opposing morals to K.O., but still happens to hate Dr. Blight just as much, perhaps given his current marriage to Lord Boxman.
- For Zarm:
- A former Spirit of Earth similar to Gaia in the show, he's not only the most powerful of the Eco-Villains with only Captain Pollution as a potential contender, but the worst of a very bad lot given that he is responsible for the destruction of other formerly populated planets in his setting. Always out to create conflict and terrible war for his own sick twisted entertainment, he proved himself to be a frightening equivalent to Gaia, not only leading the other Eco-Villains when he was active, but trying to turn humans against each other, even the Planeteers. While technically a spirit of nature like Gaia, he finds the likes of war gods to be more comparable to him, being more representative of the crueler and violent side of nature where Gaia was the more compassionate and lively side of it, and prides himself as a Spirit of War and Destruction instead of Nature. Given his infamy for causing people to destroy their own world through war, he's a rival of Ares, a war god himself. He also found the Hades of Kid Icarus to be a swell fellow, who also wanted to incite war among humans to harvest all of their souls for his own interest, and finds Hades' actions and motives to be interesting enough to ally with the wicked lord of the Underworld.
- While Zarm is practically divine on his own, he prefers to use his powers to play humans along to his will and manipulate them to enact their worst impulses, instead of directly destroying the world himself. Zarm has even almost managed to successfully corrupt the Planeteers into starting a third World War, only failing to corrupt Ma-Ti, the owner of the Heart Ring. Zarm likes to practice his skills, which include shapeshifting and social manipulation, on the suggestible Thraddash who regularly bombard their civilization back to square one and only recover enough to do it again. As for why he likes to bring out the crueler side of men, Zarm loathes the compassion and virtue of humanity, seeing the ruthlessness and violence of humanity as more appealing, and finds the mutant Apocalypse to be an example of what he likes. He also finds Davros to be very intriguing as the logical extreme of Zarm's philosophy, encouraging xenophobia and genocide and creating the Daleks to enact a campaign of destruction on all other forms of life and existence. Molag Bal, a Daedric Prince also infamous for corrupting others into villainy, is respected by Zarm but Molag Bal doesn't share the favor given his former ties with nature, even if he also likes his penchant of tempting people into villainy through his Iron Fists.
- Zarm had found Atreus training in a forest, with Zarm mistaking the deity to be some random "nature boy" who was probably a worshipper of some other nature god like Artemis or Gaia. Deciding that he would start with instigating more violent conflict by using the boy as an Unwitting Pawn, he shapeshifted into Gaia and appeared before the man under the guise of wanting to bring gifts to him under the pretext of a little quest. Despite being unaware of Zarm's forms of treachery and deception or his Iron Fists, he remained cautious and laid on many questions to this Gaia, eventually asking how she was aware of his father's tie to the Greek gods. The confused "Gaia" growing frustrated, asked further on said father until he heard a quiet but gruff voice nearby, from a large pale man covered in red marks. Having not met Kratos before, Zarm attempted to deceive him with a stern warning before Kratos noted that she was nothing like the Gaia he was familiar with, and swiftly punched Zarm down to the ground, causing Zarm to lose his disguise. Instead of escalating the action immediately, Kratos slowly walked towards him, talking about how Zarm and his reputation reminded him greatly of the Ares of his world, and gave some light hints on what Kratos did to said Ares. Realizing that he was dealing with not just an equal but someone more than capable of ending him, Zarm quickly turned tail and fled. When the other Eco-Villains heard about it, they responded as any fellow Eco-Villain would: laughing at Zarm's misfortune.
- Apparently, he's been pulling the strings of almost every human tyrant in history, and the Planeteers have been aware of Morgar, a dictator who did come to power due to Zarm's manipulation. He did state that there was one recent tyrant who actually rejected Zarm's assistance, but the dictator had been successful enough in causing destruction and war to the point of impressing Zarm regardless. While he's never said it outright, other deities believe that the outstanding dictator who impressed Zarm without his help was none other than the man who instigated World War II himself. Of course, some have noted that he's been eyeing HYDRA and similar fascist groups with interest, and is especially pleased by the achievements of Red Skull for continuing the Nazis' legacy and continuing to have violence and cruelty threaten the world, as well as Wilhelm Strasse for securing world domination under fascism where the Fuhrer failed, even managing to expand to other parts of the Solar System, and hopes they both take war and destruction to the next level in the Pantheon. That said, Zarm hasn't dealt with them personally, due to believing they don't need his help either. It's made others wonder who else Zarm has or will eventually try to bring to power. That said, Zarm is already content with the number of warmongering tyrants and despots in the Pantheon, and is willing to let them do their thing, while seeking to bring about destructive and violent conflict elsewhere.
