Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Attempted at the very least.

And I think I'm gonna forget about the candidate I was going to propose. The heinous standard is too jacked up as of the game's latest update. For those of you who were wondering (I got a few messages), the game is The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross of Light and Dark, and is a mobile game adaptation of the first season/part of the anime/manga. The villain was the main antagonist of a limited time crossover event named Lilia. A former student of Merlin, Lilia left her master and decided to destroy the world for no reason other than to prove how powerful she was. She uses summoning magic to try and summon an Eldritch Abomination to destroy the world, but accidentally summons the characters from the manga/anime That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. After realizing her mistake, she tries to kill the characters, but they escape and eventually team up with the Seven Deadly Sins. The heroes go to find Lilia; on their way, they pass through a swamp filled with corpses, and Merlin reveals that Lilia sacrificed them all to fuel her summoning magic. They also discover that Lilia has taken several creatures from the Slime universe (Lizardmen and Orcs) and stripped them of their sentience, turning them into brainwashed soldiers. After fighting through the brainwashed soldiers (including the powerful Orc Lord), the heroes find Lilia and discover that she placed a curse on all the creatures she brainwashed, so that any damage they took would be converted into energy for her. Seeing as how the heroes just fought a whole swamp of them (as well as the aforementioned, very durable Orc Lord), Lilia uses all the power to transform into a demonic form and try to kill everyone and summon the Eldritch Abomination again. When she is defeated, she flees.

Now the heinous standard was already high due to the game being an adaptation of Seven Deadly Sins, but it was only the first arc, so the heinous standard wasn't as ridiculous. However, as of the update that came out a few days ago, they added the next arc featuring the Ten Commandments, so the heinous standard dwarfs the candidate now.

VVV and I are gonna reformat the Top Cow page, so lemme just get these in now before we do.

• Artifacts: Matthew Strow, from issue #33 ("The Teacher and the Preacher"), is a sadistic Serial Killer who practiced dark arts. Posing as a piano teacher, Matthew kidnapped 51 children and killed them, trapping their souls in his piano, where he would put them through constant agony by forcing his next victim to play it. Enjoying the sounds of their screams, Matthew planned to kill his latest victim after she would create a "perfect music" from the screams of his captured souls.
• "The Pyromancer" or "the Firestarter", from the June and July 2000 and the June and August 2001 issues is a fire-obsessed demon who possessed the innocent math teacher Ray Perkins. Using his body to set buildings on fire, the demons decided to find a large truck full of explosive material and drive it to the center of a populated city, where he would blow it up, destroying a large part of the city and killing two thousand people. Deciding to present the biggest sacrifice to his masters, the Undying Ones, in exchange for power, the demon invaded the nuclear plant and planned to cause it to explode and destroy the city, killing millions of people. Returning after being defeated by Sara, the demon continues to kill people by burning them and tries to corrupt Sara Pezzini, the current wielder of Witchblade, so that he could use her as a weapon.
• Mother Mary, from the August 2003 issue, is the cannibalistic head of a large meat production factory called "Mother's Meat", who ate her parents when she was young. Using her factory as a secret base, Mother Mary created a cult of cannibals and kidnapped dozens of people so they could carve them apart and eat them, with some of the victims being eaten alive. Transferring to Manhattan after she finds out that Witchblade is there, Mother Mary has her "sons" kill people and eat them, while she planned to devour Sara Pezzini to "get her power".
• The nameless dark entity, from the July and August 2006 issues, is an extremely powerful being who was able to escape from his dimension and possess Jake McCarthy, Sara's former partner. Getting used to his body, the entity tricked Sara into giving him a view of his "future kingdom" before he attacked her. Revealing his intention on turning the Earth into a hellish nightmare, where people would burn alive for eternity, before he consumes the whole population of the planet, the entity taunts Sara with the fact that he will force Jake to watch as he will kill her and enact his plans.

Ive got just a few more before writeups and I'm aiming to clear my final four DC villains: next up, from the mystical hero team Shadowpact: Dr. Gotham.

Who is Dr. Gotham?

An ancient warlock imprisoned beneath what would become Gotham city, whose evil poisoned Gotham to become a den of vice and misery, the sorcerer takes the name of Dr. Gotham upon being released and sets about trying to summon a being called the Sun King for power. Enacting powerful attacks through Chicago and announcing himself by holding a bus of kids hostage with full intent to kill, Gotham reveals he intends to summon the Sun King to the world to devour all its souls and grant him ultimate power...he does this by sacrificing his loyal right-hand woman Streega by inflicting her with an agonizing cancer to cause her death, with his schemes almost seeing the city destroyed by causing an eruption like Krakoa or Mt. Vesuvius in the heart

The Sun King gets impatient that Shadowpact isn't done and tells him to speed things up, and creates a clone/son from Gotham, who Gotham uses to gather sacrifices for the Sun King, until the clone goes offscript leading the two to square off....victims are, btw, brought to the Sun King and burnt to ash agonizingly while alive as he feeds off their souls. Gotham kills his son and escapes, harnessing many more souls to feed to the Sun King and help him manifest.

The Sun King? is prepared to devour and burn the world, but fulfills his word in a roundabout way: taking Gotham as his host and leaving him in a state of burning agony until the Sun King is killed...leaving Gotham's hollowed out corpse as all that remains.

Mitigating Qualities?

Gotham has nothing good to him. He's a pure evil warlock who uses and betrays people, even killing his own son without batting an eye, nor any remorse. His devotion to the Sun King is wholly selfish and Gotham? Has a wry sense of humor but no real honor. The only time he circumvents a huge body count is sacrificing Streega when she suggests sacrificing tons of people, but that's only because sacrificing her is faster and more valuable. He mentions he'll 'miss' her but he promptly forgets her and shows no hesitation killing her in a horrific manner.

For heinousness, he's the worst in Shadowpact, with loads of human sacrifice, summoning a fire elemental god to destroy the world, trying to nuke Chicago and lots of other murders.

Conclusion?

a narrow pass to Dr. Gotham, but a pass.

Dr. Gotham

Dr. Gotham

there is a small grammatic error in invading part in fire demon entry.

Gotham

My other for right now...an interesting case:

What's the work?

Warlord was a DC comic by Mike Grell, concerning US pilot Travis Morgan who crashlands...and finds himself in a strange world underneath the earth: Skartaris, a prehistoric deathland with magic, danger and primitive kingdoms...his great nemesis? The wicked Deimos.

Who is Deimos?

A supposed sorcerer-king, Deimos is in fact a charlatan who utilizes New-Atlantean technology, running an empire on slavery where people are punished by being turned into animals or killed. Morgan ends up liberating one his slaves, Princess Tara, and foils Deimos's plots to conquer all of Skartaris. Now, Deimos is a fairly basic villain through most of this, and his deeds mostly consist of generic warlordry until he tries to destroy all New Atlantis.

Deimos is killed but revived a few times...one of his worst deeds here? To regain his leverage, he kidnaps Travis and Tara's son Joshua, a baby...and clones him to have a weapon, aging what he thinks is Joshua to a grown man with the mind of a child....to force him to kill his father, or his father to kill him, deciding he wins either way. Travis is forced to kill his 'son' and kills Deimos as well...who comes back again anyways. In a final scheme to conquer Skartaris, Travis defeats Deimos and leaves him in the snows to be devoured by wolves.

This is the end of Deimos...until the 2015 crossover Convergence when Deimos returns. Brainiac ends up forcing heroes into mortal combat by capturing their cities, and the heroes uncover Skartaris where Deimos is up to his old tricks. Deimos betrays Brainiac and his envoy Telos, torturing the latter by revealing his past as a remade mortal and decides to harness Brainiac's power to get to more: he plans to steal the powers of time travelers and create a brand new Crisis, one to destroy the Multiverse so he can rebuild it as a god. All the heroes from all worlds challenge him, Deimos almost killing the lot of them until he is blindsided and defeated by their alliance...but not before gleefully torturing and seemingly obliterating his old nemesis Morgan. Hal Jordan, or Parallax (the villainous version from the 90s) ends up incinerating Deimos, burning him into nothing and ending his threat.

heinousness?

Deimos is a standard evil sorcerer with a few nasty moments, like trying to destroy a city, what he does with Joshua...until the end, 40 years after he's ntroduced when he tries to exterminate reality and remake it as a god with full on omnicide. A weird case, but...pass?

Mitigating Qualities?

Yeah, no.

Conclusion?

A weird case again, but...Comics, everybody

Deimos

Is convergance Canon. I thought It falls under lose canon.

Deimos

Well, it's Deimos with the same history. If it's 'loose canon,' so much the better.

Three last DC ones coming, and then a final Slaughter or two, and a couple of b movies.

for Dr. Gotham and Deimos.

to Dr Gotham and Deimos

Yes to both.

I guess Gotham goes to the main DC page, Post-Crisis? Or is the connection with Gotham City enough to also add him to Batman (hell, from the EP it seems he's the REASON Gotham City's such a Wretched Hive)?

And Deimos: Own entry like Dee? Under The Warlord? Pre-Crisis? Other continuities?

Personally, I'm thinking Gotham goes to both, Deimos goes under The Warlord in Pre-Crisis, with a mention of the Convergence activities.

EDIT: Oh, and I moved Exiles to the X-Men page. As for Holocaust, he'll be like Dark Beast at other 616.

Edited by ACW on May 27th 2020 at 4:19:46 AM

I said absolutely nothing in that EP to imply Dr. Gotham was a Batman villain

I saw that, but with Gotham City? Eh, I don't really care too much either way.

I mean if their isn't any bat characters in it. I dont think we need to put it on the batman page.

Shadowpact is not a Batman comic. I think the discussion ends there.

Fair enough.

Also, holy hell, Marvel can be a bit tricky with characters that jump continuities (Maker, Holocaust, Mar-Vell, I'm looking at you), but DC continuity is a damn nightmare.

to Dr. Gotham and Deimos

Dr. Gotham and Deimos. Have you read, like, the entire DC corpus now, Lighty? You say you're on your "last four" candidates.

It's mostly key arcs of villain who slipped under the radar a touch too long.

3 more, plus one who's got a potential collab with Scraggle

Your doing Eclipso right ?

I was surprised that one hasn't been discussed before.

Yes to Dr. Gotham and Deimos.

Dr. Gotham and Deimos. Michael.
