Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

Anyway, can I claim Clockwork Creature for RyuZU then? TPPR10 did make a point about Galactic Nova because while it looks clockwork from the outside, the inside is another story, and looks like a futuristic space station straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Also, he doesn't seem to object to Mechanikles being replaced.

Added the comic with Darkseid and Superman thought to Santa's profile. Reposting Santa (and the star that wants to kill everything):

Santa Claus, God of Christmas (Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/santa_says_wonderful.jpg
One of Santa's many incarnations
''Twas the Night Before Christmas, when all through the Pantheon, not a being was stirring, no, not anyone. Even those that don't sleep were caught unaware, as a reedier sleigh flew through the air. Presents appeared in the most secure places, leaving surprise on everydeities faces. Only the wicked had cause to complain, as they got but coal for causing others pain. Afterwards Santa Clause stepped forward to say, now that' he's here, he intended to stay. With such great renown and complete adorations, he was quickly ascended to prominent stations. The spiteful and wicked continued to sneer, but this was drowned out by holiday cheer.

SCP-1548, Deity of Strange Celestial Bodies (The Hateful Star, Crab Pulsar, PSR B0531+21)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp_1548_6.jpg
A shot of SCP-1548 in space
  • [tup]: 2 (Muundeis, Crownless Mimic) repost 16th and 18th, ascend 22th
  • Rank: Keter. Roughly around Greater God status.
  • Symbol: Itself.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Portfolio: Omnicidal Maniac, Seeks to drop itself on Earth, The Omniscient, Weird Sun, Disappearing from canon, Having a pitiable end
  • Domains: Stars, Space, Destruction, Space Bodies
  • Allies: Pinbacker , The Grand United Alliance of Destruction, Malal, The Unbidden, Majora
  • Rivals: SCP-682
  • Enemies: The SCP Foundation, all sun and night related deities. Mogo, Andromeda, Rosalina, The Men in Black, Superman
  • Opposes The C'Tan, Thanos, Sirius
  • Annoyed by: The King of all Cosmos
  • Opposed by: The House of Nature Preservers
  • SCP-1548 can be described as an orbital pulsar from the Crab Nebula which actually is a sentient being in a way, since it can communicate in morse code and possibly other languages. The star seemingly wants to hurl itself into planet Earth simply because it felt like to. It's one of the few beings that the SCP Foundation is unable to contain, because of it being a space body.
    • However, they considered asking the aid of the Court of Gods and the GUAG to relocate it in the Pantheon, where it's less likely to destroy earth. The star ascended after that, given the bizarre and strange abilities that is possesses. Its presence in the Pantheon is a more subdued one. While it can still destroy a planet, it can't possibly destroy the Pantheon in its entirety.
  • One day, its appearance caused the Pantheon to experience Déjà Vu. The Metafictional deities revealed it was banished to the Retconnian due to its author pulling it from canon and replaced, only to suddenly reappear. The SCP Foundation immediately investigated how it was able to escape, they found it was due to this document explaining its disappearance in-universe. It attempted to reverse its course, but this negated what was stopping it from collapsing in on itself. It last message dropped its misanthropy for the only time and was surprisingly somber.
    "I don't want to go."
  • As a living star actively trying to destroy and contemptuous of life, Pinbacker has declared it the embodiment and proof of his ideals and is practically worshiping it. In fact, he's the one, with GUAD assistance, who leaked the document enabling SCP-1548 to return to the Pantheon and is actively trying to sabotage any efforts to contain or neutralize it. If the star is grateful or even acknowledges Pinbacker, it's too busy ranting about the destruction it will bring to show it.
  • The star is very aware of almost anything that is going on in the Pantheon, even things that are well kept secrets. Considering that it rarely leaves its temple, it has alarmed quite a few deities. The reason the GUAD went out of the way to return it to the Pantheon and recruit it is to use it as an informant, being too far away to be of any more immediate use.
  • Being a space threat, SCP-1548 has been targeted by groups that are more capable of handling it than the Foundation itself. The Men in Black and the Guardians of the Galaxy are its primary foes in this regard and both organization seek to stop the star from destroying planet Earth.
  • Superman was also tasked in stoping the Hateful Star from destroying Earth. Apparently the SCP seems to have a special effect on him. Being a pulsar, Superman seems to be actually stronger when near, probably much stronger than when near a blue star. Surprisingly, SCP-1548 tries to stay far away from Superman, since it fears he may be able to destroy it.
  • The King of Cosmos seems to be one of the few deities who aren't afraid of the Hateful Star, since he creates stars all the time and one small pulsar is nothing for him. However, he has never met a sentient one, so he sometimes likes to bother the SCP for the lulz, even if the SCP doesn't find him funny at all.
  • The Unbidden seem to be one of the few deities that are actually friendly to the SCP, since it doesn't fit anything that they might consider worth consuming. The other theory suggest that they might actually be afraid that the Star may be able to wipe them out of existence and so they keep it civil with it.
  • Some deities confused the star to be from Russian origin since its original message send to earth was in Russian. In reality it's because said message was directed to a Russian base.
  • Seems to share some kind of partnership with Majora, given they are both Omnicidal Maniacs who seek to destroy a place by dropping themselves towards them.
  • Due to its newfound vulnerability to collapsing into a black hole, SCP-1548 opposes Sirius as one of the few who can threaten it. It ever more strongly opposes the C'Tan for obvious reasons despite also being members of the GUAD, who's leadership is barely keeping them working together which won't last.
  • Apparently had a rap battle in morse code with SCP-682 one time after the latter broke containment. It apparently wants a rematch with the lizard.
  • Believe it or not, the star actually exist in the real world. Fortunately, it's neither sentient nor coming to earth to destroy it.

Charles "Chuck" Brown Sr., God of Kite Riding (Kite-Man, Kite Man)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kite_man_comics_batman.jpg
  • Potential House: Air-Based Travel
  • [tup]s: 2 (Siegfried 1337, igordebraga)
  • Ascending on: Dec 22 (repost on Dec 19 and 16)
  • Demigod
  • Symbol: His kite with a "Hell yeah"
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil/True Neutral
  • Portfolio: From Nobody To A Different Nobody, Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, Simply A Burglar Compared To Batman's Other Villains, Driven To Villainy Due To His Son's Death By The Riddler, Death Seeker
  • Domain(s) Thievery, Kites
  • High Priests: Gou Pei and Haoyou
  • Followers: Zangetsu, a few Ewoks, purple Imps, The Forerunners of the Travellers
  • Allies: Nothern Ocean Princess
  • Enemies: The Riddler
  • Odd Friendship: Charlie Brown
  • On neutral terms with: Bruce Wayne/Batman, the Joker
  • Opposed by: I Hate Everything, Kal-El/Superman, Peter Parker/Spider-man (last two out of principle)
  • A D-List villain, Kite-Man is known for his thievery and his use of kites in his criminal activities. Sure, he actually uses a glider, but those are basically kites designed for carrying humans. And because of his theme, and the fact that he's the only one who performs this on a regular basis (well, as regular as a character like him can, anyway) rather than just a one-off, he was selected to join the Pantheon with this title.
  • As for why he became a villain in the first place, here's why: During "The War of Jokes and Riddles", he was approached by Batman. As one of the engineers responsible for creating the Jokermobile, Batman convinced him to arrange a meeting with the Joker, which he begrudgingly agreed to do. Unfortunately, the Riddler caught wind of this, cornered Charles, and ordered him to double-cross the Joker and Batman. Chaos ensued at the meeting and he was dragged away by the Joker, who was surprisingly understanding of the betrayal and sent him to Batman with a suicide bomb.
    • Except when he tried to detonate it, it turned out to be a complete dud. And then turns out the Riddler poisoned his son's kite string, who was using it to fly his kite the morning before Charles' meeting with the Riddler, which shortly ended in his death. Distraught with vengeance, he decided to take Joker's side in the war as Kite-Man.
    • Eventually, in the war, Kite-Man was left for last as Batman defeated every villain on the Joker's side, and was shortly captured so he would leak Joker's location. He would then later end up allying with Batman, tricking the Riddler's forces into wearing special kites that flew them up to the Bat-Blimp for capture.
    • In the end, it turns out the Riddler made Kite Man. He made him to be a joke. So that Joker would laugh again (he had been in a deep slump during the storyline).
  • At present, when he's not performing thefts as Kite-Man (given the Pantheon's amenities to most deities, he probably doesn't even need to steal anymore), he's inventing glider kites for his future heists or supplying them to other villains (or anyone else willing to buy, which includes some of the good guys). He also designs "jet-propelled inverse parachutes" that, instead of slowing descent, sped up ascent.
  • Sometimes, when he's not doing villain work, he can be found hanging with Charlie Brown and helping with flying his (regular) kite. And for some reason, he almost treats him like a good father would his son.
  • Skeet once joked that Booster Gold was the Kite Man of the Justice League. Of course, he doesn't take that well.
  • Kite-Man is well aware of his position in Gotham's criminal hierarchy (i.e. near the bottom) and that he's considered a joke by many. This is how he copes.
    "All of us. We're all jokes. But the thing is, right, you got to laugh, too. It's the only way. I mean, you got to laugh with them. Okay, I'm a joke. I'm a joke and I'm funny! Then you're laughing with them. And if you're laughing with them. Then at least you're laughing."
  • Superman and Spider-Man only oppose Kite-Man out of principle. Otherwise, they feel sorry for him and try to encourage him to turn his life around.
  • I Hate Everything hates a lot of things, usually the mainstream, but he's sometimes gone out of his way to ridicule the…less mainstream ones. And Kite-Man fell under his radar. That said, IHE had very little to rant about against Kite-Man, especially since he ignored the "War of Jokes and Riddles", which is where most of his recent character development showed up.
  • "Hell, yeah!"

@ Dr. Cossack: Dr. Mobius could be one since out of all the Think Tank he's the most benevolent, having disagreed and even broken off with them at one point due to their amoral outtake on Science! while he himself grew a "con-science". He could help Mobius with monitoring the rest of the Think Tank's habits while Mobius in turn would keep a watchful eye on Cossack on the chance his daughter does get threatened once more. Despite being the most out-there of the Think Tank, his more lucid moments make him out to be a very capable planner.

Cossack could also be allies with Jimmy Neutron, being quite the brilliant elementary school kid (if his inventions don't backfire, that is).

First draft for this box. Anything on it?

Quillgin's Box

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c7a7cb1a_736b_4035_8dd0_f844b07a7ab0.jpeg
  • Potential House: Magical Artifacts
  • [tup]s:
  • Appearance: A red present box. It's empty inside save for a brilliant, yellow glow.
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Domains: Christmas, Dark Magic, Conflict
  • Portfolio: Apple of Discord, Black Magic, Hollywood Giftwrap, Made of Indestructium, Open the Iris
  • Bane of: Christmas, Mordecai and Rigby, Pops Maellard, Benson Dunwoody, Skips
  • Though it may look like an unassuming Christmas present, this box actually far more magical and dangerous than it appears. Created by the eponymous Head Toy Designer working for Santa the basic idea is that, when opened, it could grant whatever the person desired most. It's fully capable of doing so, but accomplishes it through the use of Blackmagic and instills conflict and greed to whoever gazes inside. After testing it out, Santa ordered the box to be locked up and alongside any research relating to it be burned to the ground. Little did Santa know Quillgin would hold a grudge having his life's work be scattered to the wind just as quickly and attempted to steal it in order to destroy Christmas forever.
    • Santa was quick to catch on to Quillgin's plans, though he had to leave it in the hands of Mordecai and Rigby after being shot at and falling from his own sleigh to the Park's garage. Ultimately though they succeeded in disposing of the box and saving Christmas in the end. They, along with the other Park workers, weren't too happy to see it again after so long but rest easy knowing that such a stunt is far less likely to happen again with people like the SCP Foundation looking over the Treasures.
  • As it's capable of granting anything, even as something as large-scale as the permanent termination of Christmas, this also raises the possibility of other things that could be wished for. At best, though, people expect world-wide changes to be within its range of power and it's unlikely it's going to be forked over to test such limits. On the Alliance side of things, while it raises many interests ultimately it is overshadowed by various other powerful artifacts.
  • Thanks to the Black Magic powering it, the box is night-indestructible.
