• Hans Landa was one of Hitler's best agents. A member of the SS, he was known as "the Jew Hunter" for his ability to hunt and find Jews, stating this is because he doesn't simply hate them and can think like them. He was an important figure in helping the Nazis fight the Basterds and could easily detect a liar, however he's hardly a zealot of their ideology and at his core he's an opportunist. When the winds turned against him he would collaborate with their plan to assassinate the Nazi high command, under the conditions that he would be whitewashed in the history books and his own crimes ignored, with him retiring to Nantucket Island. The assassination worked, and Hans would go on to solve a series of murders as an amateur master detective. Of course, Lt. Aldo Raine refused to let him get away scot-free, and while he couldn't kill him there was another method of inflicting karma. Something he couldn't take off...so a swatiska was carved in his forehead, branding him as a Nazi. He will constantly be afraid of what people will say about or do to him in response.
• Could be described as a less influential but just as Machiavellian Reinhard Heydrich, something he's remarked on. He was just as ruthless and cold-blooded, though rather than be assassinated he managed to do what many folded into Operation Paperclip achieved. A Karma Houdini albeit not entirely, Hans Landa has been well-remembered as a villain and so he was in consideration for a position in the Trope Pantheon. As he would get a special punishment via Loophole Abuse, despite his earnest attempts to escape justice, The Villain Must Be Punished was decided for him. Personally Hans considers being in the Trope Pantheon a punishment; he's now in an environment where people will refuse to let him off the hook despite the arrangement he got. And the Basterds are waiting for the moment he slips up to go all out on him. Starscream has quipped that he should expect to visit his house a fair bit since he's not going to get much trust from the evil gods either.
• Hans' ascension was among the ascended Nazis, seen as contentious. He was involved in Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and other Nazi high command's assassination in his universe, proving himself perfectly willing to abandon the ideology if it's for his benefit. However, few if any of the high-ranking Nazis that ascended ever held genuine loyalty to the Fuhrer, and they hold the idea above the man. Despite recognizing him as an opportunist, Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse saw in Hans a man that was still useful to the Nazi party and made it clear that Hans Landa will be offered a handsome reward for ensuring the ascended Nazi's triumph...but he's on thin ice and he will wish for the Basterds if he pulls the same turncoat stunt on them. Hans Landa was reluctant to agree with this, but ultimately did so as his reputation precedes him, or in other words he already had so many angry eyes on him that siding with the Nazis again would increase his allies list.
• The Red Skull has quite the love-hate relationship with Hans Landa. Though he makes no secret he sought to become Fuhrer, he's usually written as a genuine believer so he doesn't respect Hans' "flip-flopping". And Adolf Hitler was not just his personal idol, but arguably a second father. However he cannot help but respect Hans' cunning and effectiveness, citing that if he held genuine conviction and loyalty in the cause they would be close friends. Landa respects the Skull's determination and own cunning, however he is not a fan of his Bad Boss tendencies. Amoral he may be, Col Landa has affection for his adjutant and was outraged to see the Basterds shoot him. The Skull gave him a positive review to HYDRA, admitting he'll fit their organization as a detective and intelligent agent like a glove. Since HYDRA is more broadly authoritarian than its Nazi roots, they are a lot more accepting of him. The various Waffen soldiers and groups in the Hall of Enemies are rather distrustful of Hans, but they are quite open to him proving himself. Hans cares for his subordinates and coupled with his excellent charisma and communication skills, serving under him is a market improvement to serving under the Skull.
• While he is seem with skepticism by many Nazi deities, along with those tied to and working with the Nazis, there are some that get along with him swimmingly and overlook his Turncoat actions. Franz Vahlen has his own ambitions independent of Rommel and Hitler, and he plans to become Fuhrer himself. As a general he can give aid to Hans in areas he's lacking. General Heinz Bohm is a cunning mole who met with the two over some strudel, pointing out he is well-aware the pantheon's Nazi elite has their own internal power plays and schemes for and against one another, so the fact they're able to be friendly with one another will likely be a boon. They've met privately to discuss assassination plans on some of their own allies in case they prove to be a "liability", the details of which are a tight-knit secret but nothing out of the ordinary for the Nazis more skeptical of Hans. For now, at worst Hans Landa is a reliable traitor.
• On the other side of the proverbial coin, there are those that Hans Landa is quite critical of. He is flabbergasted that Millennium is still given the go ahead by the more traditional Nazis, pointing out they're insane. Yes he's aware he's not exactly a loyalist to the cause, but he's not wrong feeling Mr "I like war" might be more trouble than they're worth. Adjacent to the cause, there's Sergey Taboritsky and the Aryan Brotherhood, who he's glad aren't proper associates due to how off their gourd they are. He's surprised the OTL Sergey was allowed to be part of the Nazi party, citing he's a Russian monarchist with a Jewish mother. Pointing this out only caused the Blessed Regent to go on a rant of "I AM NOT A JEW I AM NOT CAIN!!" On a lighter note, he's bothered by the attention that Cartman has given him. Cartman thinks he's "super kewl" and wants to be involved, albeit with some cognitive dissonance to ignore the fact he helped with Hitler's assassination in his timeline. Col Landa accurately finds him an annoying little brat and doesn't want his attention. On yet another note, back when he had an idealized view of the Nazis Jojo Betzler used to admire Hans as being this cool and stylish figure, but the Nazis have become a major Broken Pedestal and he now wishes never to become like him. Col Landa sees this as more of a shame than anything, though he muses he never really had the stomach for it.
• It is debatable as to how much of a Politically Incorrect Villain he is, as his affinity for Nazi ideology is debatable. He compares Jews to rats, but unlike other Nazis this is not meant to be an insult. Rather, it's a weird, if offensive compliment as he points out that rats are resourceful and cunning animals. He's very good at rooting out Jewish families in hiding, so this and his other crimes prevent him from being seen as anything other than an enemy by Jewish deities. And for those that directly suffered under Nazi oppression like Sophie and Magneto, no amount of Faux Affably Evil charm would dissuade them from wanting to cave his skull in. As Magneto was able to give a personal vengeance to Red Skull, a punishment so bad he almost ended up rethinking his life, the "Jew hunter" lives in fear of what he might do to him. One non-Jew that Col Landa is on red alert for is B.J. Blazkowicz, though he does hold some Villain Respect for him; his crusade against the Nazis is one that rivals, if not even surpasses his arch-enemies, the Basterds.
• Many feel that the Basterds "went easy on him", though that's only because they could not afford to kill him. The Phantom Thieves of Heart don't plan to kill him, but they do plan to make him actually re-evaluate his life by stealing his heart, and thus force him to feel guilt for his actions. Landa muses "I wonder if I'd prefer execution...not that I'd ever want to test that, of course". Night Raid considers him someone to go after for his crimes regardless of red tape. Light Yagami plans to write his name in the Death Note, though with less savory motives than most out for his blood. Hans Landa has rightly surmised that his goals are more about power and pride than serving justice, insulting him by saying "I feel you would fit quite well with fascism if you were in the forties". And of course, there are the many Allied soldiers of WWII who want his head due to being a Nazi SS agent, even if it's not on the same Pay Evil unto Evil level as the Basterds. For bonus points the Red Viper of Dorne wants him to pay, as he's incensed by how he got away for the most part even if he had a karmic punishment.
• Most Allied soldiers still think it's BS that he managed to make a deal. It doesn't matter how ideological he is, he is a Nazi and even if the other Nazis refused to take him back, he would still be no less of a Nazi. The OSS, the very organization that spawned the Basterds, counts Lt. Patterson, Powell, and Manon Batiste among their members. Patterson and Powell have noted that Hans is a Nazi foil to them; they're highly intelligent and skilled officers serving as part of their countries' respective elite units. Manon Batiste sees Col Landa's actions as hitting close to home as she's a French Resistance fighter that personally fought members of the Waffen-SS. She even infiltrating their castle in Wewelsburg, Germany, stopping members of the SS from blowing up Paris during the Liberation of the city of light in 1944. She also personally killed a Resistance Double Agent who was working with the Waffen-SS. Whatever prejudices he may have, Hans is no fool and considers her one a formidable enemy.
• Lt Fairburne has been ordered by the SOE^note the British equivalent of the OSS, who he worked with during the Battle of Berlin, to capture and interrogate him for information. With his disgust and contempt for the Nazis as a whole, he'd trust a hungry shark before he'd trust Hans. To bring out the fear of God in Hans he's got a close associate of the Basterds on the phone; Private Robert Zussman, of US 1st Infantry Division. A German Jew captured by the Waffen-SS during Battle of the Bulge, forced to become a laborer, tortured, starved, beaten, and nearly executed by an SS officer? Yeah, you'd get why he'd, to paraphrase Omni-Man, want to make Col Landa eat his own heart. Right behind him is the Crew of the Fury, who fought members of the Waffen-SS during the Battle of Germany in April 1945 (so around Hitler's death OTL). Their leader and tank commander Sgt. "Wardaddy" Collier in particular hates the Waffen-SS (implied to be due to the Malmedy Massacre that was committed by the 1st SS Panzer Division), and doesn't hesitate to execute their officers in cold blood as revenge, especially if said officers are guilty of murdering children and old men who refuse to fight for the dying Nazi regime.
• Hans Landa has a friendship with the somewhat but not quite Nazi Arnold Berkman. Major of the Germanian army's special unit, Berkman is a cunning figure who is ultimately more of an opportunist who's loyalty is to Numero Uno, and got away unscathed. He's even more of a Karma Houdini than Hans, though he would lose an eye. The two enjoy swapping stories and participating in the finer things in life. Orson Krennic is another friend of Hans, as he's a well-dressed and superficially friendly fascist. They have different specialties though, as Hans is more of a detective/intelligence agent and Krennic develops military technology. Tarkin was disappointed by their friendship as he had hoped to associate with Col Landa, but his own heated rivalry with Krennic causes just too much friction for that to be the case anymore. On the flip side, the obvious similarities with the Germanian army's ideology makes him a clear as day enemy of Archduchess Eylstadt as she' been subject to captivity and threats from the Germanian Empire. Coupled with his reputation and friendship with Berkman, she instantly hated him. By extension, Izetta hates him due to his association with the Nazis and HYDRA, who have tried to experiment on her following her ascension into the Pantheon.

• Source of interest: Edward and Alphonse Elric, Van Hohenheim, Father and the Homunculi, Lord Voldemort, the D'arby brothers (in general), Bender "Bending" Rodriguez (the Millennium Eye), Isis (the Millennium Necklace), the Phantom Thieves, Razputin Aquato (the Millennium Key), Ammit, Osiris, Anubis (the Millennium Scale)
• The Millennium Items date back over 3000 years, commissioned by the pharaoh Akhenamekhanen to protect Anceint Egypt from an invading army. Made by his brother Akhenaden, these seven items had various powers, all sharing the ability to perform the dangerous Shadow Games. Their creation was soaked in blood, however; the 99 residents of the thief town Kul Elna were sacrificed to make them. This was the Start of Darkness for the Thief King, and it's what allowed the monster Zorc Necrophades to begin his scheme to cover the world in darkness. The Nameless Pharaoh sealed the darkness away, and eventually the items would be dug up in the modern day.
• Applies to the artifacts as a whole
  • Following the passing the Nameless Pharaoh true name Atem, the items were buried deep underground...at least until Kaiba dug them up as part of his scheme to have one last, definitive duel with his rival. He refuses to go into detail as to how that went, instead having Kaiba Corp make a delivery of the Millennium Items to the Great Treasury. Interviewers attempted to get an answer for why but he wasn't available for an answer. The only thing known is that before the overhaul of the treasury they used to be artifacts in the pantheon, but were removed in the overhaul for some beauacratic reasons. The current display is supposed to have all seven, but the Millennium Ring is almost always missing from it because it is taken/linked to Yami Bakura. The Millennium Puzzle is normally on loan with Yugi, due to its ties to the Nameless Pharaoh. While the other Millennium Items can be loaned to other deities, permission is required and they are items not to be trifled with.
  • Created from blood sacrifice following instructions of the Millennium Spellbook, together the seven items have the ability to summon Zorc Necrophades to the mortal world. Their ability to initiate Shadow Games and dark magic associated with them gives the items great potential for evil, though except for the Millennium Ring none of the items are evil persay. A comparison could be made with the Fullmetal Alchemist with how the Philosopher's Stone is made, except the Items don't contain still-screaming souls. The Elric brothers and their father are trying to make sure Father and his homunculi don't try to pilfer the items, and make sure if the Spellbook is ever ascended it's kept lock and key to make sure nobody tries to make more Millennium Items. There is a rule against using the Millennium Items in the House of Gaming to prevent any Shadow Games, and even outside of that their abilities would allow someone to cheat at the games. The D'arby brothers think it's a silly rule given their own abilities are similar to the Shadow Games, and despite everything they've done their position in their house is secured.
  • According to Shadi three items (the Key, Scale and Necklace) represent justice, three items (the Ring, Rod and Eye) are weak to evil and the Puzzle represents both evil and justice. Because of their dark background and potential for evil they're of interest to the GUAE and the GUAG. Also, their dark history has been yet more fodder for Linkara's jokes about how Ancient Egypt is evil^note cue the Imperial March. They're of more interest to the House of Magic and Sorcery, mainly because the various members of the house are seeking to use their powers for good, ill or just because they're useful. The House of Death and Postmortem, namely its Psychopomp leaders, feel they should keep an eye as all together the seven Millennium Items are a necessary part in allowing the other Yugi to move on to the next life.
  • Before being put in the Great Treasury Jack Spicer tried to take them to have a leg up on his and the Xaolin Dragons' rivalry to obtain other mystical artifacts; in their case the Shen Gong Wu. Both parties are wondering what kind of stuff they could do by combining their power with Millennium Items; for example, wearing the Millennium Necklace and the Crystal Eyeglasses could give the wielder near perfect prescience. The Symphogear wielders have been comparing them to Relics, ancient weapons and objects created through the lost art of heretical technology that inspired many myths and folklore, and their own gear is sourced from fragments of those relics.
  • The items do not respond well to the unworthy, usually killing them (sometimes worse). Indiana Jones was pretty Genre Savvy in treating the Millennium Items gingerly, emphasizing that they belong in the pantheon's museum and should be kept in the Great Treasury. Any discussion with him that they should have their power combined with another artifact just frustrates him. Some D-Class schmuck was given a test to bring the Key near the Ark of the Convenant, which ended with him and the foolish researches who ordered it becoming pillars of salt...who'd have thought the Abrahamic God wouldn't like these blood sacrifice Egyptian relics near the Ark? Ahkmenrah has stated that he wants them to be kept separate from his Tablet as he's wary of how they might affect another Egyptian magical artifact.
• Applies to the artifacts individually
  • The Millennium Puzzle and Ring are unique since, as already mentioned, they contain the spirits of people. The Puzzle is notoriously hard to solve in large part due to Yami Yugi's influence and has a more general purpose of enhancing skill, accessing and protecting from magic. The Ring can find what the wielder is looking for like a compass, but benefits are outweighed by the malignant evil in the item. Even without Zorc or the Thief King, it's still corruptive. Voldemort was fascinated by these items since they work as a sort of Horcrux variant, though the abilities and how they function as "horcruxes" is somewhat different. He doesn't intend to steal them because he can't make a horcrux over something already "occupied" like they are, but it has inspired him to try and steal the other Millennium Items and make them horcruxes. Zorc is intrigued by this since it could allow him to influence Voldemort, but he and by extension Yami Bakura refuse to let him co-opt the artifacts.
  • The Millennium Eye lets you read people's minds. Admittedly useless for telepaths like the Martian Manhunter unless you want to play a Shadow Game, but pretty useful for anyone wanting telepathy. It's only got two downsides. One, if someone can pull a Memory Gambit like flipping between different personalities they can cheat the system. Two, it requires an empty eye socket. This wasn't a problem for Bender that time he managed to steal the Eye, calling Pegasus "a lightweight meatbag" as he could just unscrew one of his eyes and plug the artifact in. He freaked out a bit when he saw the spirit of the Countess de la Roca, much as how Pegasus saw a vision of his lost love, but got over it. Bender almost won a big poker game until he went up against Fry, who's mind still couldn't be read even with a magic artifact. The Eye was later recovered from a nearby trash can and returned to the museum.
  • The Millennium Rod has perhaps the most potential for evil since not only is it used for mind control, but it also has a sharp end to stab people with. Marik set up a rumor that it can only control people named Steve and can be used as a lightsaber, but no-one really bought it and he admitted he made it up for a lark. However, strong enough Heroic Willpower can allow one to break out of control. The Hall of Mind Control wonders if their own techniques could somehow enhance the item. Death Phantom muses that compared to his own power of Mind Manipulation, it might as well be glorified metal, but Jervis Tetch thinks it's a neat secondary means of control and looks fashionable. There was a test to see if it could entrance someone already entranced by the Hypnotoad; it succeeded, but the Hypnotoad simply stared and mind controlled
  • The Millennium Necklace's role was formerly used by Ishizu Ishatar, and way back in the day her previous life Isis. No, not the goddess, she just happened to share the name. The actual goddess is interested in it, but more as a glorified piece of jewelry as her own divine powers overshadow the Necklace. It's main ability is to see the future, and also the past. However it still has its limits, and its abilities are obscured by other millennium items. Though Ishizu never had any intent to use it for Shadow Games, if she ascends she still cannot be expected to use it in the House of Gaming as it could be seen as a form of cheating. How effective the Necklace is can fluctuate wildly; tests from the House of Prophecy shows it's highly effective in deterministic settings but useless in ones that break fate. Anyone wearing it within the House of Time and Temporality will suffer a migraine due to the conflicting laws of time inevitably present there.
  • The Millennium Key stands as the only Item to lack the eye symbol on it. It allows you to unlock and enter somebody's mind. It's comparable to what the Phantom Thieves and Razputin Aquato are capable of, however Yami Yugi's amnesia caused his mind to come off as some labyrinth. Some poor Arkham guard tried to use the Key to enter the Joker's mind in order to figure out what was wrong with him, only to be lost in a maddening MC Escher-esque carnival. Perhaps he should've been found as unworthy by the Key.
  • The Millennium Scale is perhaps the least explored of the Items, and like the Key was primarily in possession of the enigmatic Shadi. can weigh a person's sin against the Feather of Ma'at. While extremely evil hearts like Yami Bakura and probably the Joker too overwhelm it, most wicked souls can expect to face the wrath of Ammit eating them. Anubis has dryly mused that the Millennium Scale is basically a knock-off of the Scales of Justice he and Osiris use to judge the dead, jokingly wondering if they should sue for plagiarism. Judgement Bird muses it is fairer than the scale he possesses. Well, his used to be fair, but when someone pointed out the possibility of it never leaning toward one way the scale was rigged so it could always yield a clear verdict: guilty, and the execution method was lynching. The Millennium Scale tends to twitch whenever the Judgement Bird is near
  • The Pyramid of Light and Quantum Cube are considered by some unofficial Millennium Items, but aren't listed in the canon seven so they aren't officially listed in the Great Treasury. The former is basically an in-universe knock-off of the Puzzle that got co-opted by the sorcerer Anubis for his own purposes, also acting as a Soul Jar. The actual Anubis is embarrassed by the whole thing since he doesn't like some Generic Doomsday Villain giving him a bad name. The latter is "semi-official", and can send others to another dimension where they're doomed to disintegrate. Some SCP Foundation agents argued it should somehow join the canon seven, only to sheepishly admit it's yet another scheme to terminate SCP-682.

• Annoyed by: Bubs
• Suguroku Muto (or Solomon Moto if you're watching the English dub) is the grandfather of famed duelist Yugi Muto and owner of the Kame Game shop. In his youth he was an archeologist who visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh aka Pharaoh Atem, being the one to find the Millennium Puzzle, though he was never able to solve it. Interestingly, in a past life he was that pharaoh's Grand Vizier, Shimon Muran, and wielded Exodia. Suguroku is a skilled player of games and a gambler who rarely lost, though one of the few times he did it led to him wearing overalls and retiring. Now he's content running his game shop, and serving as a mentor for his grandson Yugi. Occasionally he has gone out to play Duel Monsters like dueling with Jonouchi in KaibaCorps Grand Prix.
• Yugi's grandfather was minded his own business, taking care of his shop on a quiet day where there weren't many customers. Everything seemed normal until he opened his mailbox and discovered an invitation to something called the Trope Pantheon. After the VHS tape Pegasus sent led to his soul getting stolen he was suspicious and asked Yugi if he knew if a trick was afoot, only to be informed that it was the same thing he and many of both his allies and enemies had joined. As a character defined by their familial relationship to another character, he was under consideration for the trope of Satellite Family Member. Suguroku may be in his seventies but he's not technologically blind and quickly adapted to using TV Tropes. His temple is Kame House, technically part of the House of Family and Relatives but functionally part of the House of Gaming as that's where his revenue comes from. For deities wanting to play Duel Monsters he's usually the one to check if they're looking for a more humble and friendly game shop. At his age he isn't ready to go on big adventures, though he is penpals with the retired adventurer Old Buran. You can find him in the Monster Sanctuary training new adventurers, which is what piqued Suguroku's interest.
• He had met Judai/Jaden and friends "the long way round" at his card shop where even in his eighties he still was as chipper maintaining his shop. He helped guide them through the city in return, but unfortunately he got kidnapped by Thunder and Frost. Jaden and his friends managed to find and rescue him, and he gave them some hamburgers for their trouble. Overall, Sugoroku is generally friendly and doesn't hold a grudge, though he's still somewhat sore around Seto Kaiba and Pegasus; the former beat him and destroyed his Blue Eyes card, leading to him going to the hospital, and the latter stole his soul as part of his scheme. He's on speaking terms with them because they ultimately turned a new leaf, but they're otherwise neutral. Ultimately he only really opposes the unrepentant villains who threatened his grandson (and the world, given the scope of their plans). Yugi's grandfather is on really good terms with Exodia, interestingly enough. As mentioned, his previous life in Ancient Egypt had Exodia as his ka, and he used to have Exodia in his playset.
• He's been trying to catch up with the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh series 5Ds and beyond, studying their adventures so he can better understand the later Duel Monsters meta. Yes their series are either far enough in the future he's probably passed of old age, and/or a different timeline altogether, but since he owns a Duel Monsters game shop he wants to be informed. He got some help with the updates and suggestions on how to boost sales from Aldo and Arnold. They were raised by their grandparents and are generally kind-hearted individuals, so they were happy to help. The two like swapping stories with the old man whenever they visit the shop for gaming accessories.
• While he's retired from the archeology business, he still knows his stuff about Egypt and has stories to share with other archeologists. Him and Indiana Jones have become good friends discussing their past adventures, though Suguroku readily admits Indy has seen a lot more than he was able to. Him and Simon Petrikov are also friends, the latter having been an antiquarian who had studied some magical artifacts...sadly he spent the better part of a millennium driven crazy by one of them. With all the things he's seen of the Millennium Items and Shadow Games, he wasn't exactly surprised to learn the Egyptian gods were all too real in the Trope Pantheon. He's become quite interested in learning more about them, alongside the many pharaohs present asides from the Nameless Pharaoh. He's especially interested in Ahkmenrah, a Chummy Mummy who was brought to the land of the living thanks to a magical Egyptian artifact...he reminds the old man of Yami Yugi.
• Suguroku's shop being called "Kame Game", basically translating to "Turtle Game", reminds a good amount of people of Muten Roshi. There's more than a few similarities between them; both are old, wise mentors of the protagonist, though Roshi has more of a role as the mentor, and they're both perverts. This isn't as obvious with Yugi's grandpa as his lechery was more an early characterization, but his interest in Vivian Wong and Otogi's cheerleaders wasn't exactly innocent. He still thinks Roshi is pervy, though to the older man's credit he's become better at controlling his lust. While they sometimes chat about beautiful women, most of the time they talk about their life experiences and how to give advice to those they care about. Roshi has decided to learn from him how to play Duel Monsters as a hobby.
• He has somewhat of a rivalry with Comic Book Guy, come their mutual roles in the House of Commerce. He owns a major comic book shop of the Trope Pantheon, and Suguroku owns a major game shop. Comic Book Guy keeps trying to push advertisement for his shop over the old man, trying to get more customers. He was a bit annoyed to see a regular like Bart Simpson start to spend more pocket change at the Kame Game shop, causing the old man to quip "didn't you ban him?" Jeff simply responded with "we worked that out". While Yugi's grandpa is a bit exasperated by how much of a jerk Comic Book Guy can be, their rivalry is a harmless one and they'll sometimes show up at each other's shop to buy stuff from one another. Occasionally they meet up and chat, and/or snark, at the Kwik-e-Mart. Him and Apu seem to get along as small businessmen.
• Brand X attempted to exploit the old man in hopes of pushing their awful, awful food products. Why him? Simply put, they wanted to look more appealing and "human". They propositioned him with an idea of becoming a promoter for Brand X food, by tying them with the games he sold. Suspecting them from the start, he asked the representative "could you taste test your food first?" That representative was nervous since he knew what their food taste like, so instead he decided to gamble and say "OK, let's decide it over poker. You win, I'll taste test it and we'll leave you alone forever. I win, you sell your game shop to us and we turn it into a market". Unfortunately for that representative Suguroku was a very lucky gambler and took some pride in seeing the representative prove how bad that proposal would've been for him. He got a high five from another shopkeeper, Uncle Chan, for pulling that off as it seems to have prevented them going after his business next. He's been interested in learning about Egyptian magic recently, and seeing another small business do well in the Trope Pantheon has made him smile.
• As he's a friendly old man with a humble job, it's hard to really piss him off. Make jokes about him lusting over Black Luster Soldier and he'll just go "ah, I see you're a fan of that abridged series". Some people do piss him off, though. Though a bit of a pervert, he's far from the creep that Nobuyuki Sugou is. His abuse of the virtual world's gaming system and general sleaze-baggery made him permanently blacklisted from Kame Game. No, the fact he has no interest in Duel Monsters or the other games at his shop doesn't change that. He's definitely not a fan of Yoshihiro Kira either. For one, he's worried his Stand ability might cause some chaos if he gets access to Duel Monster cards, despite Yoshihiro saying "that's not how my Stand works you old fool!" More seriously, Yoshihiro is aiding and enabling his Serial Killer of a son and making Morioh a less safe place. The ghostly Stand user tried to defend his actions by saying he's making up for his wife's abuse^note according to Araki's comments; it's not mentioned in the manga to avoid making Kira too sympathetic, only for Sugoroku to say that's a BS excuse.
• While an expert gambler, Sugoroku Muto knows that eventually, your luck will run out. This is but one of many reasons why he has absolutely no interest in playing any game with the D'arby brothers, who he's naturally horrified by them gambling with human lives. Daniel at least finds his refusal to duel unfortunate, since he respect for his skill, but Telence is just an ass so he doesn't care. Yugi is glad they aren't trying to antagonize his grandpa outright since the way their Stands work is highly reminiscent of a Shadow Game. However Sugoroku is fine gambling for smaller wagers like a chocolate milkshake. Him and Tsunade decided to gamble over who pays for a month's worth of bento boxes with a game of Duel Monsters...Sugoroku won, though she insists that this was unfair because it was her first time playing Duel Monsters. They'll still make friendly wagers, just with more fair games. Recently he has been doing some bets with Uncle Chan over who can sell the most from their stores on a weekend.
• Has a bit of a complicated opinion on Grunkle Stan. Sugoroku sees him as a troublemaker, a swindler a washout...but also a good friend, who reminds him of some of the stuff he got up to back in the day. Stan wishes that he did more higher stake gambling with him and thinks he's a bit of a washout, but this comes off more as friendly ribbing. While Yugi's grandfather is annoyed by Bubs and his swindling ways, he sees in Stan Pines a more devious version of himself but really fun company, who'll prove his worth when he needs to. The two like to swap stories, though the elder Muto admits he's got a lot stranger to say. One story both of them got caught off guard was Big Bird's, who dressed down Osiris when he refused to let a boy into the afterlife.

• Imagine a giant cockroach, with unlimited strength, a massive inferiority complex, and a real short temper. That's a handy description of the alien terrorist known as Edgar the Bug, though strictly speaking "Edgar" is the name of his "disguise". Coming to Earth in hopes of obtaining the Arquillian Galaxy, as a 12 foot cockroach he needed to keep that under wraps. So he killed a farm called Edgar and wore his hide like an ill-fitting suit. Given the radically different physiology it made his movements awkward and gangly, made worse by the fact natural decay was in effect. Still, it wouldn't matter if he got his plan to work; kickstart an Arquillian war against Earth, allowing him and his brethren to feed on all the dead bodies they want and use the power of the Galaxy for boundless energy. Time almost ran out, however he was fortunately thwarted by Agent J and Agent K. Even then, he had family who wanted some payback for what happened.
• Edgar woke up from a dream of a warm, humid land with rivers of sugar water and all the detritus and carrion he could eat. If that was "Bug Heaven", the Men in Black felt whatever god they have was feeling merciful all things considered. To his horror, he woke up in the human "Edgar suit", in a domicile with spare "Edgar suits". He noticed unlike the original they were artificial, making them more viable for a disguise. Calming down, he decided to ask if anyone was there and what this was about. He was approached by an ambassador of the Court of the Gods saying he had woken up in a larger universe, the Trope Pantheon, and despite his crimes he did earn a new title; God of Stumbling in the New Form. Since this was a second chance of life, the roach decided to take this. The Men in Black were livid at yet another major perp making his face known, and he wasn't too fond of seeing them again either. But hey, at this point Agent K and Agent J have kind of gotten used to stuff like this happening.
• He's generally just called Edgar, sometimes Edgar the Bug or even the Bug. This is because his true name isn't stated in the movie or almost any other form of media. He doesn't mind if people use it, learning his brother would go by Edwin, but he mentions that he is named in the novelization-Kerb. Bugs have a rep of being full on nasty, though Even Evil Has Loved Ones is still in effect. And he's not without standards, like being annoyed by "primitive gender squabbling" and J's brazen womanizing. This makes him A Lighter Shade of Black compared to Boris the Animal. Both have a clear arthropod thing going on and their own schemes to make their people prosper at the expense of the Earth, but Edgar considers his ambitions too destructive and that they stand in the way of his own goals. Boris thinks Edgar is a hypocrite, pointing out by endangering the Earth he was also endangering the insects he was fond of that lived on it. The two aren't enemies per say, as the MIB have their attention, but they don't even try to get along.
• It's not clear how exactly he got the "suit" "off" Edgar the farmer, but fortunately we never see the remains. Given he's tight fit in human skin, the farmer didn't die peacefully. He wishes he could've made it a more fool-proof disguise, like how the Lich was able to fit into Billy's hide so well he even managed to hide the horn...and that's the only thing he'll say about the guy as he's scared of the Omnicidal Maniac. Ramsay Bolton wishes he could've witnessed what happened to the farmer and he wants to see Edgar more at work, as he's a fan of "the Bolton tradition", however this creeps out Edgar. As he put it "you mammals are under-evolved pond scum but saying that would be a compliment to a sicko like you!" He's more ambivalent towards Leatherface, the official holder of the Genuine Human Hide trope, but he still thinks he's a weirdo.
• His ability to impersonate human beings is limited, though this is more due to physical problems than anything. Just because his disguise isn't all that convincing doesn't mean he's an idiot, as he's pretty cunning and good with technology; it's just that he's gotta make do what his massive frame permits. Rubber Soul heckled him for it, promoting his own ability to disguise himself, but rather than falling for the taunt the roach fired back; he critiqued him for being so good at looking like other people, but not bothering to act like them. However he isn't interested in starting a fight, even if his Jerkass attitude annoys him, because he's curious as to what a properly trained Yellow Temperance could accomplish. Since Edgar is a hostile alien that impersonated a human being he's seen with distrust by the Crewmates. E.T also distrusts him, but for somewhat different reasons; Edgar's an alien hiding from the government, but in contrast to E.T he's a lot more hostile.
• There's some similarity to his disguise with the Slitheen's skin suit. When Edgar learned about them, he decided he should try to go "for a vacation" on Raxacoricofallapatorius, since they had better suit disguise tech, but first he needed to take a snack. Said snack was Dib, who amusingly enough was fooled by his disguise^note in fairness since his new disguise is artificial skin, it doesn't have the decay problem just long enough for the bug to get his hands on him. Fortunately the Doctor was present at the time and stopped him. Zim had a laugh at the whole thing but made it clear that Earth was his and he's only one allowed to defeat Dib. His posturing ego initially put Edgar off, but he tolerates and will occasionally try to work with him against a shared foe as they're mean insectoids with an attitude and many enemies. Though maybe he just want to get close to Irken technology, he also agrees on how he dislikes humans.
• Edgar has a general empathy for what humans would call bugs. He lets regular cockroaches hitch a ride on his body and loses his temper if someone squashes a bug. Because of this, he's remarkably civil in the Halls of Arthropods and Insects, and is genuinely friendly at the inhabitants. He only makes a couple of exceptions in Lolth and the Radiance, as they're so depraved he can't stomach them. Plus the Radiance has the power to control other bugs. Asides from the Terraformas, though, no-one there really shares his goals and he tends to get attention from the space cops. While usually peaceful there, there was a "bar fight" when, while enjoying a nice pitcher of sugar water, Swarm's bees started drinking it. Edgar doesn't like Fritz Von Meyer much, not so much that he's a Nazi (it's not like he's espoused those beliefs that much) but because he dislikes seeing an undead human command bees.
• One of his friends is Arachne, God-Mother of Spider People. Unlike the sociopathic Lolth she actually cares deeply for her brood, and he warmed himself up to her after thrashing around Billy for his abuse of spiders. Despite all of his crimes Edgar has clear love for his kind and was appalled Billy would try to squish his own spider-son who has been nothing but compassionate just because he has arachnophobia. He tried scooping his brains like ice cream but a hollow knock was all he got from his head. While more frog-like in his true form, and thus someone he's mildly prejudiced towards, Edgar likes Albedo somewhat due to his disgust for the human form he found himself stuck with. Due to hating humans more and his own inferiority complex he's somewhat sympathetic towards the Galvan. Albedo sees him more as a convenient ally to steal stuff for his experiments, but they'll still act relatively civil towards one another.
• You can often see him conversing and planning with the Terraformas, fellow roaches with a nasty attitude who look down on vertebrates. Edgar's dislike of mammals might be partly down to how arthropods are looked down on. While "space cops" are enemies of his pretty much by default, he is particularly contemptuous to governments that look down on his kind. The Imperium of Mankind is notoriously xenophobic, and see him as a disgusting Xenos criminal...I mean he is a criminal, but still. The Galactic Empire isn't as xenophobic, but they still don't like non-humans. Edgar cites their genocide of the Genosians as a reason to hate the empire, and in fairness he's not wrong, nor is he that the Empire is an unpleasant institution. However he's seen as a rather minor threat by both governments, all things considered, which only made him angrier because he was being looked down upon. Less understandably, he's gotten hostile with Hank Pym and Shino Aburame as he doesn't like how they're humans that order around bugs, however he almost always pulls his punches so as to not harm the bugs they command. He somehow rationalizes this as "a dirty move" and uses this Insane Troll Logic to fortify his own Fantastic Racism.
• Though he doesn't like humans, he does make an exception for a few. As he's a criminal and a murderer who's actions endangered the Earth he's no friend of Agitha or James Henry Trotter, however he thinks "they're some of the good ones" due to their friendship and kinship with bugs. Mr Burns' curious fondness for bugs, with him being a beekeeper, got Edgar's attention. As an amoral billionaire he wasn't put off by Edgar being a 12 foot criminal cockroach and said that he would let him work at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant so he can make money to keep up the disguise. The bug decided "eh, why not?" and decided he could do with hiding in the plant when the cops come, as Springfield's elite are incompetent and Mr Burns usually has a bribe ready. Edgar has gotten some "side-jobs" from Nute Gunray (via Poggle the Lesser's recommendations) and Jabba the Hutt, where he uses his criminal skills to do dirty work for them.
• He's made a few new attempts to steal artifacts of immense power. First off, he swindled the Universal Remote, initially believing its powers were exaggerated because if not why wasn't in Maximum Security (which he tried and predictably failed to break into). Having heard of some of the risks, until Team Lightyear could surprise and catch him he used it mainly to pause time whenever the Men in Black were in his sight so he could make a getaway. His next caper was trying to sneak into the Spore Player Character's ship to steal it for himself and be able to use all the ship's incredible abilities for himself, but he got kicked out while trying to figure out the controls. Finally he went to Planet Express to steal one of the Professor's doomsday devices. This...actually worked, albeit the main reason Farnsworth's lax attitude to said devices. That being said he didn't have much bad to say about Zoidberg, as on some level he can sympathize a bit with the Butt-Monkey status of a fellow arthropod.

Infinity Gauntlet and Gems

The Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems (or Infinity Stones)

The Infinity Gauntlet with all six Gems in place

• Note: Restoration
• Appearance: A golden gauntlet, intended to have six different colored gems/stone embedded in it
• Hall: Maximum Security
• Class Level: 1
• Alignment: True Neutral (dependent on who wears it)
• Portfolio: Lets You Bend Reality To Your Will, Including Total Mastery Of Space And Time, Dismantled MacGuffin, Amulet of Concentrated Awesome, Amplifier Artifact
• Domains: Power, Gems, The Cosmos, Reality Warping, Functional Omnipotence
• The Marvel Universe has many powerful artifacts, but few, if any surpass the Infinity Gems. Sometimes known as the Infinity Stones, they predate the universe and have been reported as either remains of a god that destroyed themselves out of loneliness, or six singularities present at the Big Bang. They embody six aspects of the universe and at full potential, allow one absolute control of that aspect of reality. To what extent depends on the continuity, but in The Infinity Gauntlet, we see what happens when Thanos has all six in a specific gauntlet to wield their power, in order to impress Lady Death...omnipotence, barring a couple restrictions. Even cosmic entities can be towed with it He only lost from a subconscious belief he didn't deserve that power. No-one has held onto that power permanently, and as it makes one a step or two below God this is probably a good thing.
• It is important to remember that Infinity Gems can only work in the universe they come from. Trying to use it in other universes is akin to trying to use your TV remote on somebody else's. The Infinity Gauntlet in the Trope Pantheon specifically works on the Crossover Alternate Universe which all the different gods interact, and only that reality. As such, while the Infinity Gauntlet is still immensely desirable, it cannot be used by any deity to take complete control of their own verse. Darkseid has denoted the Infinity Gauntlet as useless for him when he got his hand on it, a fact that is undoubtedly a relief. As bad as Thanos was having the Infinity Gauntlet the man had insecurities and personal issues that made it possible he would lose control. Darkseid...doesn't, and he is not the kind of person who would grow bored with victory. Attempt to modify the Gauntlet to work outside the Pantheon will incur the wrath of the Living Tribunal.
  • Darkseid being unimpressed by the Infinity Gauntlet has been furthered when Thanos used it in a fight against him, where while he could snap his avatar away when serious, his true form could just summon a new one. So Thanos decided to confront his true form...and that was a really horrible move, as the Infinity Gauntlet was out of range in Darkseid's universe. Cue the Omega Sanction. Thanos really doesn't want to talk about it or how he got out of that one.
• The Living Tribunal is one of the only beings who can defy the Infinity Gauntlet when it is at full capacity. The same can be said of Doctor Doom when he had absorbed the power of Beyonders. He is the primary security in making sure the Infinity Gauntlet is only ever used when it's the only viable option. The SCP Foundation has put a lot of measures into "containment"...well, not so much the Gems as they're relatively predictable when on their own, but as a way of keeping people out. While there are a number of variations of the Infinity Gauntlet and Gems, the Pantheon's Infinity Gauntlet is an almost carbon copy of the 616 version. As such it lacks needing a level of strength to not die wielding it, making it all the more attractive a target. The six Infinity Gems are watched over certain Overdeities
  • The Time Gem; currently being watched over by Chronoa. Grants the user unlimited control of time. Whoever holds it can make the House of Time and Temporality whatever they want it to be. That said, it is unknown how the Time Gem alone would face off against Lord English on an equal playing field
  • The Soul Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allows manipulation of any and all souls, be it dead or alive. One can use it to lord power over both the House of Life and Vitality and the House of Death and Postmortem. They'd have the power to shut down the pantheon's Death Is Cheap rule, an idea that Dhuum is salivating over...though the same gem could set it back up again.
    • Technically all gems have also been known as the Soul Gems, though only one has domain over souls. Should be noted; they have no relation to what the Puella Magi have used, or the Tamriel soul gems.
  • The Power Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allows complete control over all power in the universe.
  • The Reality Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Alters the laws of the universe to the users will. Seems to be a more general reality-bending purpose. Doctor Manhattan muses that his own abilities act similarly to the Reality Gem, as he is able to bend reality due to his innate understanding and connection to the underpinning rules of existence.
  • The Space Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Allowing for the manipulation of space. It's to the House of Space and Cosmos what the Time Stone is to the House of Time and Temporality.
  • The Mind Gem; currently being watched over by TBA. Taps into the users mind for complete control of psychic powers including telekinesis.
• In Earth-199999, there are actually two gauntlets. There is a right-handed one that's currently locked in Odin's treasury and also contains replicas of the Infinity Gems, and a left-handed one that the Thanos from that universe currently has... or so we thought. Turns out Odin's is merely a fake. You want to go to Earth-1610 for dual gauntlets, though they have eight Infinity Gems^note so four for each hand. Strictly speaking, without the Gems/Stones the Gauntlet is just a normal gauntlet, albeit one that can withstand overwhelming power (or as Palpatine puts it, "UNLIMITED!!! POWER!!!". He makes it no secret he wants the Infinity Gauntlet and has been observing other variations. For example, one where it took form of a Wishing Cube, each face a panel of "forever glass".
• The Infinity Gems played a role in a battle between Marvel characters. Thanos was in possession of the Mind Gem during that particular instance. There is uncertainty as to what happened to that Thanos during that time. The usability of the Infinity Gems by themselves depends on one's power level. Greater Gods and Overdeities have no problem with it. Intermediate Gods could use one Gem but are likely to be exhausted after that. Lesser God and below, there's practically no point in using a Gem. This was best demonstrated when they were used by, in a particular merging of worlds, X, to eliminate Ultron Sigma. Despite being a Greater God, he struggled using the Infinity Buster (created by Iron Man and powered by the Infinity Gems) requiring the assistance of everyone present (including other Greater Gods, such as Thor, Doctor Strange and Zero) to stabilize the energy, even after donning the Ultimate Armor.]] Another version was offered as a prize for the winner of the 1047th Interdimensional Contest of Champions. Linkara won, however he figured out the Temlins would never give out something so power without regulations. The Infinity Gauntlet he has is from another universe so he's unable to use it. That's why previous winners of the Contest of Champions can't be chosen again.
• Due to the actions of an alternate Ultron, a loophole has been found; the Infinity Stones can be used to enhance something from their own universe even if they are outside of it. Theoretically it might be possible to attack someone with a sneak attack from another universe; if Zen'o were to erase an Infinity Gauntlet wielder with them unaware and Zen'o remaining in his own palace, it could work. The "Infinity Ultron" loophole has also opened the possibility that someone could send an ultra-powerful force or being to another universe. Davros was the one to muse of this, in a particularly horrifying scenario; use the Infinity Gauntlet to mass produce Reality Bombs and portals to send them to other universes the second before they detonate. On the flip side, someone aware of a multiversal cataclysm in progress, like say the Anti-Monitor's antimatter waves, could make the universe of the pantheon indestructible from said cataclysm. The Xeelee have become interested in that idea, believing it could make a universe-wide sanctuary for species to flee to.
• The other drawback is that it cannot be used to destroy itself, either the gems or the concept they represent. For example, if the Grand United Alliance of Destruction tried to use the Soul Gem to cause the extinction of all life, there would still have to be at least one being in the universe with a soul left over. The one notable exception was the MCU, as that Thanos had the Infinity Stones destroyed so they couldn't be used again, and he wouldn't be tempted...he almost killed himself doing so. That said they are weaker than their 616 counterpart. The Infinity Gauntlet of the Trope Pantheon holds the same limitation as the 616 Gauntlet. One lesser detail was discovered about (at least the Pantheon's) Infinity Gauntlet when Cosmos was allowed to wield it; its qualities couldn't be altered. She tried to use its power to make it so it could only be used with a selfless intent, but when she tried to test it with a selfish desire (make Palutena's coffee taste bad) it worked.
• This also means that, even if the SCP Foundation wanted to, they could not alter the Infinity Gems with SCP-914. In case you're wondering, no they do not plan to use it against SCP-682 any time soon. 682 has proven to survive and adapt to the laws of physics being altered, being sent to an area of non-existence and being put in a narrative built around it being permanently killed. The possibility it could at least permanently incapacitate the lizard is there, however this is considered risky. The reason they don't use nukes on 682 is fear it will adapt to that. Could you even imagine what a 682 that adapted to the Infinity Gauntlet would be like?! If you've seen SCP-6820, you could probably guess. Considerations to using it against SCP-3125 has been made; while its extradimensional status puts it outside the Gauntlet's range, it could alter the universe to block it out. Using it against SCP-3812 was a non-starter, though, as he's one of few decisively known to surpass the Gauntlet's power.
• The Infinity Gauntlet is something of interest to all Grand United Alliances. While there are there are some Overdeities that could actually surpass the power of all gems, they're a very small group and who exactly fits there is heavily debated. Though it only affects the Trope Pantheon central universe, this is more than enough to tip the balance of power. Melkor still doesn't think this is enough, and he wants to use the ones in the vault to create his own set capable of working across all universes. It seems like a fool's effort since the Living Tribunal would punish any attempts to do that, however you have to remember that there's nothing stopping him from, say, restore himself to full power permanently. YHVH and Lucifer have mused that, given their agendas, the Soul Gem will probably take precedence.
• It's important to note that the range being limited to its universe doesn't mean that its power is only universal. The Ultimate Nullifier has the ability to destroy entire timelines, and even destroyed and recreated the multiverse once. And yet, when Adam Warlock tried to use it on Magus holding five of the six Infinity Gems, this failed. It's been theorized the real reason why nobody holds on is more a mental reason, that being they realize they aren't worthy. Tests with other artifacts in Maximum Security is explicitly forbidden, though many are curious as to see how they'd interact. It's assumed that even within range the Infinity Gauntlet couldn't do anything to the Throne, as its influence on existence is more comprehensive. A lot of people wish it could be used to get rid of Li'l Cal, but Lord English's massive influence over the timeline would mean it would inevitably be out of range when the Gauntlet is active.

Using the word "Kimota", he could transform into his alter ego Miracleman, a blonde, musclebound superhero, and he had many vibrant superhero adventures Years later, he has forgotten his magic word and much of his youth, but eventually he rediscovers his past and more. As it turned out, these classic adventures were part of a simulation by "the Spookshow", using alien technology to create superhumans as part of "Operation Zarathustra". Stopping an atom bomb was the only real part of the story. His life would take a drastic turn; his sidekick Kid Miracleman's alter ego had become evil, the scientist/his "creator" Dr Emil Gargunza had his own schemes around him and his unborn child, and he would meet up with the aliens who's power was derived from. Miracleman would become a melancholic figure who reshaped the world into a utopia, a new age of enlightenment with the Miracleman family as gods of a new Olympus. However Miracleman would lose touch with humanity, ruling essentially as a Benevolent Dictator.
  • The out-of universe history of Miracleman is complicated. Originally created by Mick Foley in 1954 following Fawcett Publications' cessation of their superhero titles, a replacement for Captain Marvel was made, changing his human identity from newsboy Billy Batson to copyboy Micky Moran. His superhero identity was Marvelman It ran 350 issues between 1954 to 1963. When Alan Moore decided to retool and rework the series in 1982, the character had to be renamed to Miracleman as while predating the title of Marvel Comics, Eclipse Comics (the company that owned it at the time) lacked the legal muscle to keep the name. Miracleman would eventually end up under Marvel Comics, designed in its multiverse as Earth-82324. His status as an Expy of Captain Marvel/Shazam was reflected in-universe by the Miracleman family being inspired and modeled after the Golden Age run of Billy Batson and company.
• It took a bit of time for the OG Man of Steel and Billy Batson to notice that Miracleman was part of the Trope Pantheon. His temple of Olympus was in the ruins of Central London following Kid Miracleman's rampage. He and Miraclewoman reshaped the world into a utopia; all the practical ills of human society are cured, and the offer of superhuman powers and children is gradually taken up by a humanity who regard the Miracleman Family as gods. However, he has effectively taken over the world, and his utopia has been criticized as a false paradise without any real authenticity and feeling. As such, Superman and Shazam's view on Miracleman is a bit mixed. This isn't an "Injustice'' scenario, noting he lacks the selfish and hypocritical traits of that Man of Steel, however they are a bit put off by him and his distance from humanity. That said, Miracleman remains an ally because he tries to live up to the ideals of a superhero, and he appreciates their criticisms as he does legitimately does want to make the world a better place. He's a fan of Billy Batson as his comics were a direct inspiration in and out of universe for his heroism, and he has a lot of respect for the immense compassion of the two.
• Tends to associate more with the DC characters, as he's directly inspired from two of their IPs. A Superman that he's particularly friendly with is the Earth-30 version, "Red Son" Superman. Nowadays he prefers to go by Somishka. He acted as a well-meaning dictator of the Soviet Union and hoped to expand his regime worldwide, however he realized how suffocating his regime was and turned over a new leaf. Of the various Supermen of the multiverse, he perhaps understands Miracleman's self-doubts and desire to live up to the vision of a utopia the most. One of the reasons why has both Men of Steel as allies is after seeing the extremes that the Regime/Earth-49 Superman's dictatorship went to, he wants advice to make his paradise as close to one as he can realistically achieve. Said dictator Superman is by his own admission impressed at the new world order Miracleman has ushered, however his own ego and insistence he's the only one with the right vision makes him a rival...albeit one with some relatibility.
• For context as to how he got to the Trope Pantheon, you can thank Dr Manhattan for that. He was exploring other 'verses his author was involved with following his meeting with Superman, trying find someone reminiscent of the Man of Steel but who could more personally understand his own detachment and superhuman mindset. Miracleman was interesting to him as it was a superhero Deconstruction by his author that predates Watchmen, motivating his desire to reach out to Miracleman. Another Watchmen deity was just as interested in meeting him; Adrien Veidt. Ozymandias and Miracleman had visions of improving the world in a dubious fashion; for Adrien it was how to get there, for Miracleman it was more the result. Miracleman and Ozymandias often discuss with one another whether what they've done was worth it. He relates more to Dr Manhattan, due to how he's grown distant from humanity.
• Miracleman's alter ego, Michael Moran, is the all too human, insecure half that dealt with the Loves My Alter Ego trope and feeling he could not live up to his counterpart. Saying "abraxas" will revert Miracleman to Mike Moran, and he will stay that way for a couple hours before he can say "Kimota" again and become Miracleman again. Unlike how Billy Batson is typically depicted, the two are more of a dual personality deal. To some, it could be seen as a serious, superhero counterpart to Professor Kelp/Klump and Buddy Love's dual personality. Both personas are intrigued by the dynamic between Mike Moran and Miracleman, though for personal reasons Mike isn't available to talk with. After Liz and Winter left him, he essentially committed suicide by saying "Kimota" with no intention of changing back. Miracleman plans to honor this and will never willingly revert to Mike Moran, however if someone says "abraxas" in his earshot he will still revert. Mr Mxyzptlk found this interesting and initially tried to play a prank by switching personalities; Mike would be the superhuman and Miracleman the..regular human. Before he could Doctor Manhattan noticed and told him what he's doing was insensitive. After reading Miracleman the imp begrudgingly admitted "yeah, I guess it would be a jerk move", though he also made it clear "I'm still interested in seeing what he does here".
• This intentional Loss of Identity is something the antiquarian Simon Petrikov wasn't sure how to feel about, though he will definitely be there to be a sympathetic ear for. The context for why is a spoiler, though; Years after being freed from the curse of the Ice Crown, Simon's depression was bad enough that he contemplated using an opportunity to become the Ice King again "for other people's sake", what would've essentially been a Death By Personality suicide (and given the trauma of being Ice King in the first place, a pretty morbid decision if he went through with it). However he managed to find new meaning and value in his life. Though somewhat unnerved by Miracleman, he is still sympathetic towards him. Alucard was a more critical of this decision, as he sees it as begrudgingly abandoning his humanity, though for a much more understandable reason than why so many people became vampires. And while Miracleman doesn't actively look down on humanity, he muses there's an implicit sense of superiority. Miracleman believes this view to be hypocritical. All being said, their disagreements are more ideological than anything and not eactly aggressive.
• This dual identity is part of what makes him distinct from the likes of Superman, and gives him more in common with the pantheon's official Superman Substitute; Robert Reynolds/the Sentry. The Sentry tries to be more traditionally heroic, but like Miracleman he can prove terrible at saving people in anything more than an immediate sense. He has the Sexier Alter Ego and trouble with his wife, and their human identities are notably more pathetic...though Bob had more psychological issues than Mike. Of the many ascended deities who parallel the Man of Steel, the Sentry is perhaps the one who gets along with Miracleman the most on a personal level. On a more relaxed level, he enjoys chilling out at Metro Man's house, emphasizing with his desire to live his own life and not be defined by people's expectations of him. And, on a more somber level, he has a lot of sympathy for the Last Man of Alcatraz, who was genuinely heroic but who was used and abused by both the government and aliens. He fears he would've become a Tragic Monster too had he and the rest of the Miracleman family not broken out of Dr Gargunza's grasp.
• There's a wrinkle in the comparison between Miracleman and the Sentry, in that there's a third personality; the Superpowered Evil Side, Omnicidal Maniac Void. The Void is the Sentry's Arch-Enemy, and an enemy that reminds Miracleman of his sidekick Johnny Bates completely psychopathic alter Kid Miracleman. Miracleman swears he'll do his best to contain the Void in order to help his new friend, but freely admits he's not the best at helping with this kind of stuff. He's still upset with having to kill Johnny Bates in order to stop Kid Miracleman ever coming back, and he dreads what might have happened if KM managed to subsume his human alter completely. That worst case scenario has kind of come true with Dark Danny, the ghost half of Danny in an alternate future. After being split off and possessing Vlad's ghost half he went on to eliminate the human side and was a virtually unopposed psychopath for ten years. The Spirit of the Millennium Ring also reminds Miracleman of Kid Miracleman, though fortunately Ryou would eventually be free of him. Attitude-wise, Kid Miracleman is similar to Dark Marik in that he starts as a semi-rational yet violent psychopath before devolving into utter Ax-Crazy ness while still possessing a dangerous amount of intelligence as they plan to laugh amidst the actions. He wants to help Ryou and the real Marik Ishtar never again be haunted by this dark side.
• He's also trying to aid Android 21 in permanently eliminating her hunger. The scientist has been making sure to distract her...husband? Dr Gero from trying to experiment on him. He's opened up and told her a bit about his origins; the aliens who his powers derive from are the Qys. One of the universe's ruling superpowers, they have technology to allow them to switch between custom bodies at will. The Qys took him and Miraclewoman to their homeworld where the future was discussed by their ambassadors of the Qys and their mortal enemies the Warpsmiths, with Miraclewoman convincing the assembly that Earth should be a neutral world wherein the two cultures can work together and hopefully achieve some form of understanding. A third powerful race spoke to Miracleman upon his ascension; the Asteromorphs. Evolved descendants of homo sapiens, they saw much potential in him and how he could aid their evolutionary cousins both to become better, and defend their burgeoning utopias from hostile aliens like the Qu. The Network, who were initially rather impressed by what he accomplished with the Qys, wanted to help him improve humanity. However Miracleman disagreed with their more brutal imperialist ways of going about it, and he does not trust them. Though they still don't seem to hate each other their ideological disagreements make them rivals more than anything.
• Superman's Arch-Enemy Lex Luthor was livid at Miracleman's ascension since he sees even more of what he tries to project on Superman; that of an alien trying to suppress human progress. Critics of his rule has stated that he's effectively "sold humanity out to extraterrestrial powers" and spoiled the concept of utopia. However for Miracleman's flaws, Luthor is hardly in a position to call him out for anything, noting that "for someone who claims I'm out of touch with humanity you're not exactly a paragon of understanding, are you?. You're not as petty as Dr Gargunza, but not by much." The Boys are pretty distrustful of Miracleman for being this supe that basically took over the world, even if he made it a better place by most people's estimations. The Homelander is suspicious of him, claiming that Miracleman is trying to get in the way of hi-American hegemony. Miracleman considers him an immature child, however he does feel some sympathy for him as he was basically raised by a committee. It makes Miracleman fear that different circumstances in their youth is a major reason for why he didn't turn out like him, not his own personal values.
• A number of Nazi deities were intrigued by him, as they see him as he's this literal bright, blonde authoritarian Übermensch "made" by a former Nazi collaborator. Miracleman finds this attention annoying as while you could argue he's a Super Supremacist, he certainly isn't racist and he thinks their ideology woefully perverted and misunderstood the concept of an ubermensch. Miracleman lives on the more benevolent territory of being Above Good and Evil, or Blue-and-Orange Morality depending on your interpretation. Most of his more traditionally heroic allies say it's the latter, noting he clearly tries to do right if how he does so is questionable. For example, by The Golden Age he grants wishes to those who reach him: he agrees to help a woman become an artist, but refuses to heal a young girl put in a coma by his fight in London. The Moon God has been watching his utopia, seeing what another alien's influence does to the Earth compared to what his extensions have ended up doing. It's made him think; should he have directly interfered after all?
• A curious comparison could be made between him and Princess Bubblegum; she's a protective mother to her people and is seen as Lawful Good in-universe, however she loves the Candy Kingdom in a more grand level, having a number of morally grey moments. Both Miracleman and PB demonstrate how authoritarianism can be used as a force for good, though it'll always have those more ethically questionable moments. The two are working together in hopes of truly bettering the world, as Bonnibel can appreciate the utility in an ally like Miracleman. In the sense of leadership and politics, the Superman Substitute that might relate to that the most could be Omni-Man. Having adopted human virtues like empathy, he would go on to reform Viltrumite society as The Good King. In the future, his son would as well. Miracleman counts on them as valued allies. Though he knows he'll get fodder from opposition saying he "sold out to aliens", he's opened up communication with the New Alliance of Free Stars and the Blorg Commonality.

• Opposed by: Bojack Horseman, Denzel Crocker
• Barred entry from: The House of Sports
• Suguru Kamoshida was a former professional athlete and Olympic volleyball champion who would find himself as the PE teacher of Shujin Academy. A lustful man defended from consequences due to his reputation and corruption by the principal, he has sexually harassed the female students on the volleyball team and is forcing Ann Takamaki to go out with him to keep Shiho on the team. He's not much better to the male students, putting them through hell with spiked volleyballs and other brutal "teaching methods". When he assaulted Shiho to get back at being rejected by Ann, his crimes would make him their first major target to have their heart change. After defeating his Shadow, representing the sin of Lust, his ego was broken and he was submitted to arrest and therapy for his narcissism. Despite being a Starter Villain, Kamoshida sets the standard for how dark the villains of Persona 5 are going to get, and he stands out being shockingly depraved despite his relatively down to earth villainy.
• Kamoshida's ascension was not expected to happen. After all, he had been Forced to Feel Empathy, so who in the right mind would deny the Phantom Thieves a hard-earned victory? Well, it was obviously going to be someone in the wrong mind. Melkor has long since seen their ability to steal people's Heart as one of the more insidious strategies on the side of Good, and a couple of Evil's followers wanted to "get even". Dr Light^note the supervillain one, mind you and the Purple Man basically smuggled the disgraced PE teacher into the Trope Pantheon, and worked to reverse the change. The key word to restoring his personality was the Purple Man saying "be true to yourself". His first reaction upon being "restored to factory settings" was white-hot rage and humiliation about being subjected to what he considers a Fate Worse than Death. He immediately grabbed a nearby gun with murder on his eyes, only to scream in pain that he was feeling bad for past actions. As it turns out the anti-brainwashing wasn't complete; whenever he attempts to do something even more evil than normal like try to murder the Phantom Thieves or fantasize about Cold-Blooded Torture, the forced empathy briefly re-asserts itself like a Morality Chain. For now, Kamoshida has decided to just get used to his surroundings and enjoy that he is mostly "cured" of what they did to him.
• He manages to earn the personal ire of all four of the founding Thieves: he lusts after Ann and drove her friend to attempt suicide, broke Ryuji's leg back when he was a track star, told everyone to spread rumors about the Protagonist both because he stood up to him and because he wanted to, and his Shadow would have executed Morgana had the Protagonist and Ryuji not intervened. A Psychopathic Manchild of an athlete, he thinks his past success makes him entitled to whatever he wants and despise the Phantom Thieves more than anything for having destroyed that sense of entitlement. Suguru Kamoshida despises brainwashers even if they have the best of intentions in doing so, though admittedly most are pretty bad people themselves. Personal insults are more why he hates those people than anything else, which is why he makes the exception for Killgrave; he wants his abilities for the worst kind of reasons. He also attempted to reach out to Jervish Tetch, trying to relate his obsession with Ann to his obsession with Alice. While the Mad Hatter is undoubtedly creepy, Tetch usually isn't a pedophile and it's more about wanting to live out the character role of the Mad Hatter.
• It didn't take long for him to barred entry from the House of Sports, on account for his sadistic training methods towards male students and being a sex offender. Any attempt to change his trope to "God of Volleyball" was met with scorn, and one of the only times LaFleur and Goodman will team up is to give Suguru Kamoshida a taste of his own medicine with dodgeball. The only reason he is not banned from the House of School as well is by virtue of his trope. With his true nature known, he is the most despised member of the house. Yes, the Death Busters are enemies of most of the Trope Pantheon because of their goal, but they still don't bring out the disgust that Suguru Kamoshida does. Far as Mao is concerned, he is worse than any demon. The only member of the Hall of Students that even tolerates him is Biff Tannen, what with him being The Bully and an attempted rapist. Even then the Older and Wiser 2015 Biff bemoans him as Stupid Evil.
• He's a pariah in the Hall of Teachers and considered one of the worst teachers ever., Even Denzel Crocker wants nothing to do with him. Izumi Curtis calls out his "tough love" as an excuse to indulge in his sadism, and as someone with a tough but productive training regiment she can tell the difference. Eikichi Onizuka may be somewhat of a pervert but he'd never think to try and get fresh with the female students and has organized a brutal hazing ritual for his arrival. One of his only allies there is the Trunchbull, and even then, she only tolerates him as a means of enforcing control over the students through fear. For all her faults, she's not a sexual predator. Umbridge agrees with that kind of method, though she has even less standards and is a straight up ally of Kamoshida. As Suguru Kamoshida used to be a follower of Agitha Trunchbull, he's annoyed that she's deciding to have standards now, as he hoped she would be his confidant in their house.
• Freddy Krueger mused that he once killed a Creepy Gym Coach, one Mr Schneider. This is notable in being one of the only victims of his that probably had it coming. Kamoshida doesn't have to worry about him passing judgement, though; Krueger is a child killer and implied (or explicit in the remakes) pedophile who used to work as a groundskeeper at a school. He gets along amicably with Kamoshida, as his own gimmick is using mental worlds to inflict suffering on his victims. Suguru Kamoshida dreams of one day having similar powers to get his revenge, though he can't focus on said revenge until he learns to quiet the Brainwash Residue that "speaks up" when he's feeling particularly violent. Given his trope, Suguru Kamoshida would get a surprise visit from Doge and the gang. They have their own "Coach Henry", though he usually benefits from being The Comically Serious and a Devil in Plain Sight because of the comedic nature of the Dogelore comics. Kamoshida didn't have the shield of being seen as "ironically wholesome", what with being a disturbingly realistic predator, so Cheems gave him a very much karmic and brutal bonking session.
• Suguru Kamoshida was fairly popular with female students who haven't heard or don't believe the rumors about him. While he was capable of having more ethical hook-ups and relationships, like Glenn Quagmire, he's also a malignant narcissist and Dirty Old Man interested in teenagers. Comparisons could be made with him and Glenn Quagmire, with many noting the only reason Quagmire isn't seen as depraved as Kamoshida is because of tonal reasons, and to Quagmire's credit he tends to legitimately get along to people when not in pervert mode. The two are drinking buddies, though not friends since Quagmire would rather not get more negative attention by association and he does have some redeeming qualities, something you can't say about Kamoshida. Another drinking buddy of the disgraced athlete is Frollo, who has his own obsession with his Lust Object, but his entitlement is more of the self-righteous kind compared to the Bastard King of Lust. His Shadow's association with Asmodeus and the aforementioned self-righteousness prevents them from being anything more than drinking buddies.
• Because of the reputation of sex offenders, he's a rather unpopular deity. There are plenty of other reasons not to like him, but that's usually what's brought up. His very small friend group is mostly other sex offenders and outright rapists. After all, that's why the ones to "save" him were Arthur Light and Zebediah Killgrave; they have the same criminal lusts/desire to assert themselves, which has made them pariahs even amongst the supervillain community. Outside of those two, his closest friend is probably Nobuyuki Sugou, a depraved and lustful worm of a man who's position has made him an entitled Spoiled Brat like Kamoshida. The two often go to cocktail parties with the Yellow Bastard, who's daddy basically gives them asylum for their "habits". Ethan Roark Junior is so awful that Suguru Kamoshida can seen almost quaint by comparison, however the latter is seen as the more realistic villain. Their meet ups are down to "safety in numbers" more than anything.
• Kamoshida is trying to restore his reputation by taking advice from the pedophile Humbert Humbert, who projects him as "misunderstood", by making an autobiography where he tries to hide behind trying to cling onto whatever glory he has left and uses victim blaming, saying that they secretly wanted it. It's worth noting that he used to legitimately have a conscience at some point; he'd got fresh with a female reporter while drunk, and actually tried to beg for forgiveness and turn himself into the police. One of his corporate sponsors, however, helped cover it up and assured Kamoshida all was forgiven. So the "moral" of his ego-stroking autobiography Society Is to Blame so he should be absolved. Bojack Horseman wrote a scathing review of this book as a pathetic attempt to rationalize his actions on his path, which the sex offender thought was hypocritical. Bojack is well aware he doesn't have a moral high-ground, but he's come to realize being a Jaded Washout is not an excuse for his own toxic behavior, and he has been trying to work on improving himself. He sees Suguru Kamoshida as what he could've become had he lacked a desire to improve himself.

  • Aja Oba, God of Immortal Geniuses: alive since before the Roman Empire, possessing Complete Immortality. Aja is is fiercely intelligent, aided by the fact that he has more time to study than any other human being in the world. He bankrolls space colonization, and lead his own team of scientists in terraforming a new world. He uses his cunning to eventually become an Immortal Ruler and grows Stronger with Age
  • Corrodium: restoration of an idea made by worldofdraken. Corrodium is a notable phlebotinum from the Ben 10 franchise, mainly associated with aliens from the Anur system. It's this purple and potent energy source that acts as a mutagen to most non-Anur lifeforms, and is a plot device by Zs'skayr and his associates. Original version here
  • The Anur System, Celestial Seat Of Monster-Inhabited Worlds: restoration of an idea made by worldofdraken. The Anur System is a mysterious and spooky star system in the Ben 10 universe. It is a Monster Mash where the aliens there look and act very similarly to classical monsters and spooky folks from Earth. They've got aliens that are like ghosts, mummies, Frankenstein's Monster, werewolves and even vampires...well, sort of, Vladats are endangered nowadays.
  • I would like to make a partial restoration, partial rework in adding the Lantern Rings to the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weapons in the DC universe, and also a major feature of the Green Lantern mythos is the titular lantern ring. Using will for green, or other emotions for other rings, you can create Hard Light constructs and use your imagination in a powerful way. Should it be the rainbow seven, should it include the White and Black Lantern rings (despite the security risk the latter has)? The idea is that they would function as a way to deputize people in the Trope Pantheon
  • Pieces Of Kryptonite: a restoration for the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weaknesses in superhero comics is kryptonite. A radioactive piece of the exploded planet Krypton, it is radioactive and Kryptonian life is particularly susceptible to it, being akin to poisoning. Green Kryptonite is the original and pure stuff, but there are variants which have different effects. Sometimes it only affects Kryptonian life, but sometimes it has a more subtle effect like the time Lex Luthor got cancer using a kryptonite ring
  • Jurgen Voller, God of Trying (And Failing) To Remove Hitler Via Time Travel (Hall of Time Travelling, Neutral Evil)-the Big Bad of Dial of Destiny is Jurgen Voller, seeking the Antitkythera mechanism to go back in time and take out Hitler right before WW2. He's a unique example of this trope in that he's a Nazi trying to pull this off; he believes in their vision but thinks that the Fuhrer specifically was to blame for Germany losing the war, so he wants to make sure they start the war with a more effective leader (three guesses on who he has in mind). True to the trope, though, his efforts are All for Nothing; the mechanism only sends you back to the Battle of Syracuse as part of Archimedes' attempt to stop the Romans. And the whole thing was a Stable Time Loop, furthering the fact his efforts were in vain
  • Galen Erso, God of Kidnapped Scientists: adopted from Roku Alhazared. Draft here. Galen Erso is one of the key developers of the Death Star, but definitely unwilling. His False Friend Krennic forcibly recruited him by offing his wife and threatening his daughter, also pointing out if he won't do it someone else will. He gets his revenge by pretending to be a broken man so he can put in an Achilles' Heel.
  • Pong Krell, God of Mocking Their Attacker That They Don't Have The Guts: a truly odious Insane Admiral, he holds a hatred for clones and proves the Arc Villain of the popular Umbaran arc. He sees them as tools and acts the part of General Failure to kill them through Unfriendly Fire in hopes the Separatists will have him in their good graces...so he can be on what he thinks is the winning side. Eventually his clones rebel, and Rex puts his gun to him...with him confidant that he won't pull the trigger. He doesn't...but Dogma does.
  • The Supergods, Unholy Octect Of Superhero Horror: these eight superhumans are an attempt to ask "what would happen if superheroes were cosmic horrors?" These are god-complexed, Blue-and-Orange Morality abominations who with the exception of Morrigan Lugus were a Deity of Human Origin. Made as superweapons, they soon spiral out of control with Earth soon becomes their playthings, for they are far from the friendly superheroes we're used to
  • Polyphemus, God of Classically Monstrous Cyclops (Hall of Eye Appearances)-Polyphemus is a major antagonist in the Odyssey. Unlike the elder divine cyclops who were wise and built things for the Olympians, Polyphemus was a member of the more mortal cyclops. They were known as vicious, giant brutes who ate people. Many like Polyphemus were children of Poseidon. He has some Hidden Depths such as a musical talent, but otherwise fit the stereotype the Greeks started
  • Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Xipe Totec, Triumvirate Deities Of Human Sacrifice: the Aztecs are infamous for their practice of Human Sacrifice, an act they believed was a Necessarily Evil to keep the natural order. Three major gods had their own take on sacrifice. Huitzilopochtli is the war deity of sacrifice that had the traditional heart-ripping out maneuver. Tlaloc is a rain and water god who's sacrifice involved dressing up seven children in the style of Tlaloc before pulling out their hearts, and the children crying before reaching the designated shrine was considered a good omen for abundant rain. The festival of Tozoztontli involved more child sacrifices in caves. And Xipe Totec, who flayed himself to feed humanity, has his sacrifices skinned and priests wore that skin
  • The Golden Turd: a restoration to the Grand Treasury. The accursed stool was created by Roger after a bad meal, and acts similarly to the One Ring; everyone who gets access to it will inevitably be corrupted by greed and become obsessed by its power. A potent Artifact of Attraction and Artifact of Doom, without exception, they will suffer a terrible fate because of it. Roger has to resort to time travel to stop it's madness...and it more delays the inevitable than anything. Draft here
  • Cleveland Orenthal Brown, God of Abandoned Catchphrases (Hall of Phrases, True Neutral)-Cleveland is the straight man of Peter's pals. He didn't have many quirks, but one of the things he was known is Rapid-Fire "No!", caused by him and his bathtub falling due to Peter's shenanigans. When this eventually lead to him leaving Quahog the catchphrase was dropped in the spin-off, and would remain dropped when he returned to the main show.
  • Carol Kohl, Goddess of Living Just Before the End: Carol And The End Of The World is a limited series where a planet is discovered to be destined to collide with and destroy the Earth. It explores people getting their affair in order and living with the apocalypse months away. Carol Kohl is the main character, an everywoman who is trying to figure out how to spend her last moments.
  • The Interim Coalition Of Governance, Unholy Dictatorship (Hall of Manners Of Authority)-the Coalition is one the most extreme, psychopathic dictatorships in fiction. Think Oceania meets the Lensman Arm Race. They're a totalitarian oligarchical dictatorship that uses omnipresent indoctrination, thinks humanity should be in a state of constant suppression in order to be human, will erase dissidents, commit genocide for even the pettiest of reasons (or make you wish they did) and despises everyone and everything else
  • The Spline, Deified Living Ships (Hall of Air Travel)-adopted from Someone 404. The Spline used to be whale-like creatures living on a faraway planet. After a chance encounter with another alien species, they chose to redesign themselves into Space Whale like starships. Their nervous systems are wired into a control deck, their pores hold weapon and sensor emplacements, and specialized organs are used to keep passengers alive, among other adaptations.
  • Officer Barbrady and Sergeant Harrison Yates, Co-Gods of Useless Police: the world of South Park is one full of idiots, and the police are no exception. Barbrady and Yates represent police incompetence, but in different ways. While Barbrady is technically a Token Good Cop, he's a complete idiot who was illiterate until "Chickenlover" and is usually unable to deal with the situation at hand. Yates is somewhat smarter, however he's a stereotypical Bigot with a Badge who joined the force to frame and arrest minorities, and when he's not being corrupt he's usually failing to solve the case like not picking up the hints Michael Deets is the Serial Killer he's looking for
  • Stephen and Linda Stotch, God and Goddess of Grounding: Butters' abusive parents Stephen and Linda are very well-known for using grounding on Butters as a punishment. It's practically a catch phrase. Usually it's something minor or a misunderstanding, but in more recent episodes they have more of a legitimate case like using Facebook to spread misinformation. A video game reveals Stephen obsessively grounds Butters because his mother did so to him
