Trope Pantheons Discussion

There was talk of giving them Ambiguously Gay

As the person who did that profile and read the comics I can say they definitely fit

Edited by SailorVenus372 on May 1st 2024 at 6:42:49 AM

I have adopted some ideas from other tropers. I want to know if you guys agree with their choices for these tropes or not

• Edgar, God of Stumbling in the New Form: Adopted from Shinobi. Edgar the Bug is a towering cockroach-like alien criminal who, to go undercover, skins an abusive farmer and wears his hide as a disguise. Understandably, the massive differences in body types causes him to stagger and jerk around as the farmer in what cannot be described as a comfortable form. To make matters worse decomposition is still in effect so by the time he discards the suit he looks and moves around like a zombie.
• Suguru Kamoshida, God of Creepy Gym Coaches (Hall of Teachers)-Adopted from Iceaura39. Suguru Kamoshida is the Starter Villain of Persona 5, and one that leaves a chilling impression due to the personal nature of his crimes. He's the gym teacher and volleyball coach at Shujin Academy, and one disturbing Dirty Old Man who represents the sin of Lust. Physically assaults the male students, sexually harasses the female students, with a particular fetish for the quarter-white Ann. He extorts students and is considered Beyond Redemption and requiring a Heel–Face Brainwashing after assaulting Shiho, leading her to attempt suicide.
• Nimona, Goddess of Primal Polymorphs (Shapeshifters)-Adopted from Excessive-Menace, Nimona is a chaotic ever-shifting trickster who operates almost exclusively through spur-of-the-moment decisions though on the upside, her more primal viewpoint allows her to understand things that more civilized individuals have trouble accepting. She lived almost exclusively as an animal in search of companionship before she finally took human form and introduced herself to the human being she wanted to befriend...this didn't exactly end well and she prefers to live away from human civilization

to Nimona

• Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes were once just normal citizens of a desert-bound lone town, living mundane boring lives. However, the Kid one day found five Stones of Power that fell from outer space and granted their users superpowers; joined by his friends, Jo and Rosa; his cat, Tuna Sandwich; and his grandfather, Papa G, Kid set out to use the Stones to protect Earth from alien threats as the team's self-proclaimed leader; however he grew to realize what was really important about being a hero despite his early obsession and had to give up his leadership dreams to Jo who was far more mature and suited for the role while being joined by a former villain, Chuck, later on he and the Heroes would relinquish the Stones back to their original alien users when they came to Earth as they were the last pieces of their homeworlds, so they could take on the Planet Killer, Erodious who destroyed said planets. However, when only one of the survivors came back alive the heroes were taken to space to fight Erodious by finding more Stones of Power, eventually being able to defeat the Planet Killer's herald, Fantos and later stop the threat of the Planet Killer itself by restoring it to its true pure form with Papa G's good luck charm, which was the fourteenth stone of power. Once the heroes were done, they came back to Earth where their efforts got them a monetary compensation from the government at the expense of remaining silent about their adventures to the greater world, but the alien friends they made came to Earth to visit them regardless, making up a new and better status quo for everyone.
• The Heroes arrived in the Pantheon after their last adventure was done, once an alien deity in the Pantheon came to their place to inform them of their new status. With this ascension they were given fully-functioning replicas of the Stones, including Papa G's, though the latter declined both of his on the grounds that he wasn't going to exploit them for his own gain and only considers taking them up again if there's a need for the team to combat a truly dangerous threat. The rest were all thrilled to have their powers back and also being far away from any government bodies that might try and boss them around.
• Because their initial stint as superheroes was filled with blunders and lots of mistakes on their part they made good friends with heroes who also had a rough start in their adventures or had difficulty adapting to heroism:
  • The Powerpuff Girls had a pretty rough first day as superheroines as their powers were destructive and they had not much idea on how to control them, leading to chaos all around Townsville and being shunned by the populace, but through defeating Mojo Jojo in the latter's first outing they managed to prove their worth as heroes and ever since have remained Tonsville's defenders. The Girls mostly got along with the excitable Kid and Rosa, who both share the girls' passion for heroism and were awed by each other's capacities and abilities, Blossom also got along with Jo regarding their status as leaders of their teams and tendency to clash with their teammates in disagreements.
  • Peter Parker/Spider-Man was another one of these heroes, as from his first day he had a rough start to his adventures as Spider-Man, facing both personal and large-scale problems that affected him, primarily balancing his two sides of life around and the guilt of letting the criminal that killed Uncle Ben get away due to his negligence towards his responsibilities. He mostly bonded with Jo, as due to her role as the leader of the team she had to face a lot of pressure and screw-ups of her own and nearly tearing the team apart with some bad advice she got before she managed to set things right. Another thing Peter found in common with them was getting used to the powers that they got, primarily his Spider-Sense which has some similar uses to Tuna Sandwich's precognition.
  • A few alien explorers have befriended them, one of these was Olimar, the explorer being familiar with travelling to various planets, most notably PNF-404 (an alternate Earth) looking for treasures to settle a debt his company had. Olimar has been interested in the rings of power, primarily because of their nature as fragments of planets destroyed by Erodius (and the 14th being a piece of Erodius itself) and in turn Kid and the team have been perplexed by what Earth looks like where Olimar comes from and have thought of making a few visits to see what's up there.
• Wander befriended them all without issue but mostly Papa G and Chuck; the former being pretty similar to Wander in attitude and outlooks on life with his tendency to see the good in everyone, while the latter was once an alien minion of a galactic conqueror who turned to good out of both kindness and admiring how brave Kid was compared to his leader. Wander and Chuck's friendship has served as a point of disturbance for Lord Hater and Peepers, who are annoyed to see another galactic conqueror give up his ambitions and evil ways out of kindness like Wander has spurred many other evil overlords to do, Chuck himself and the other Heroes all view the duo as a lesser concern and even are willing to be friendly towards them since worse villains like Lord Dominator are around besides them.
• Since they fought Fantos the Collector, who wanted the Stones of Power to aid the planet-eating Erodious as his herald, they are heavily wary of Darkseid, Thanos and Galactus who all resemble the villain they fought themselves. While they don't hate Galactus since eating planets is not something he does out of malice, they do not spare any hatred towards Darkseid and Thanos who like Fantos spread destruction and ruin for the hell of it. Galactus has no interest in their Stones of Power, while Thanos himself has been intrigued by their abilities and wondered if they could be of use to him for any next conquest he might arrange.
• Exclusive to the Kid:
  • Kid's primary Stone of Power lets him use telekinesis to move objects or himself around, which for a good amount of time made him think he gained the power of flight. Thus he made connections with other telekinesis users (not telepathy!) such as Psychic Pokemon like Mewtwo, who also has mind control among his powers but otherwise has a similar powerset to Kid including "flight" through TK. Other TK users include Ness and Lucas, who are within Kid's range of age and share similar experiences regarding being involved into dangerous fights and other situations during their own adventures each, most notably Ness who had to fight off the alien invasion spearheaded by Giygas.
  • Because Kid for a while had some selfish impulses due to trying to be a hero, he feels some sympathy for heroes who similarly had to grip with similar sentiments and actions in their own hero careers, Ben 10 was one such ally as before he truly had a grip on heroics he was bratty and selfish about his powers and intended to become famous with them, only learning the true meaning of heroism later on. And while he backpedaled several times on this lesson, he has managed to tame down his worst tendencies and become a humbler genuine hero as a result.
  • Kid's resentment of others being better than him at superheroics, which he eventually got over made him wary of those who became "heroes" only to achieve fame and fortune for their own personal gratification or another selfish whim such as Hal Stewart/Tighten, as the formerly nerdy reporter not only was jealous of Metro Man for being the center of attention of Metro City and felt entitled for gratification from others once he became a superhero and even went on a rampage before being stopped by Megamind. Similarly, he also detests the Plutonian for having allowed his jealously to turn him into a vile supervillain.
  • He lost both his parents in a car crash at a young age and that event marked him for life, making him desire to help others and be a hero so he could save people like he couldn't with his parents. As such he made connections with Batman, who as Bruce Wayne saw his parents die to a mugger and was inspired by his trauma to become a vigilante so he could prevent others from going through the pain he went through; Batman himself admires that Kid had the determination and bravery to be a true hero but also was quick to warn him not to be so reckless even after he became more thoughtful, knowing dangerous things even for him could await in the future given his own experiences with his surrogate children who became Robins going through various traumas themselves.
• Exclusive to Jo:
  • She had to become the leader of the team as she was the most qualified but went through great hardships before she was finally able to fully settle into the role. Another deity with such a struggle was Leonardo, who in one incarnation didn't start out as the leader but upon being made so by Master Splinter had to adapt to his new role and despite a rocky start due to his immaturity was able to grow into a legitimate and competent leader who brought his team to new heights to save the world and even the Universe. Leo has also seen that they both have portal abilities as their primary power, and even are rooted in alien mysticism/technology as they discovered later. Jo has also befriended the other turtles in turn. She also met and introduced Baron Draxum to the other Local Heroes, who is a reformed villain; as well as the semi-remorfed duo of semi-reformed villains, Bebop and Rocksteady who, while occasionally backtrack into evil, are for the most part nicer guys or even heroes nowadays, even if sometimes for the wrong reasons too.
  • Her portal-opening abilities got her an ally in Chell, who'd once been forced to deal with the rogue AI GLaDOS and has possibly lived through the invasion of the Combine in her world. While Chell is often silent and reserved, she has found some common grounds with Jo on which to speak on fully friendly terms; Jo has at times inquired about Chel's portal gun and seen if she can work around some way to use them for her daily life, even if Flo thinks the technology might not be the best for the kind of uses Jo thinks of.
  • Jo's expectations of inheriting a restaurant ran by her mother, who herself inherited it from her own mother, as well as being raised in a rather loving home who's values resonated in her days of heroics got her a connection with Po, the panda also having been raised with his father, Mr. Ping's expectation that he'd inherit the noodle shop he ran only for Po to instead become a Kung Fu master; while Ping was much more accepting of Po's choices than Flo who disapproved of Jo's dangerous heroics, they nonetheless became good friends, with Po even teaching her a few kung fu moves he knew to help her fight better, while in turn he was amazed by her team's superpowers, even if some of them gave him bad memories of deadly artifacts he knew in his world like the Tianshang Weapons.
• Exclusive to Papa G:
  • Thanks to his old age, Papa G has practically Seen It All and knows things that almost no one else knows about the world; he's had unexplained escapades that got to the point where the US government has a large specific file on him. As such he made allies in those who have lived long and often fulfilling lives while gaining invaluable wisdom along the way, such as Master Yoda and Master Oogway; both masters of certain disciplines who've lived through centuries of varying events and confronted countless threats in their many years of life. Oogway in particular interested Papa G as he once was a ruthless warlord who saw the error of his ways when panda villagers healed him and taught him Chi control. While Oogway has offered some lessons to keep Papa G on a healthier state without the need of the Fourteenth Stone, he prefers to let nature run its course on him a decision Oogway respects.
  • He's also made a connection in Skips, the immortal yeti has also lived for many decades and seen a lot of strange otherwordly stuff, and even outlived a loved one with said death marking them greatly. Skips consoled Papa G on the loss of his child while Papa G offered his own condolences for Skips' lost love, Mona. Skips also found it admirable how Papa G willingly gave up his own immortality for the greater good while Papa G in turn finds it noble that Skips keeps on carrying the burden of losing his loved ones for the sake of the greater good of his own universe. At times Skips has borrowed Papa G's ring to improve his handywork when needed, always returning it once done.
  • He also had a preference for being kind to others and believes that heroes help, not hurt. This caused him to grow closer to Wander than the rest of the team as both found their similarities pleasant, while also giving him an appreciation for other similar heroes like Steven Universe and Naruto Uzumaki who believe most people are decent underneath even if they seem or act evil. He was particularly proud of Steven for finding a peaceful solution to the problem with the Gem Homeworld and has thought of visiting his universe for some sight-seeing. While he was a bit uneasy around the redeemed Homeworld Gems at first, he also found them good company and didn't mind their pasts thanks to their atonement.
  • He found another duplicating hero in Shino Aizawa, albeit she had issues with her own power due to it being tied to her emotions, as someone who took to his own duplication with some ease Papa G took on a mentor-like role to help her better control her powers the best way he could and even taught her some means through which coordinate with her duplicates for arduous tasks or even everyday life situations she might have to get past. In turn she was grateful he took time off his schedule despite his old age and retirement from active hero duties to help her out.
• Exclusive to Rosa:
  • She is a toddler with great control of her powers and was at first the absolute best of her team, due to this she made a connection with SCP-239, who is likewise potentially destructive with her powers yet is not truly trying to be mean or cruel despite what appearances may show. Though Rosa is wary of what 239 could do if she took her powers too far, she has somewhat been trying to help control her abilities better so they can play together without issue.
  • Benevolent sizeshifters befriended her most notably Hank Pym/Ant-Man who was surprised by the versatility of Rosa's abilities and her skills at fighting despite her young age. He has thought of investigating if her Stone could be of similar nature to the Pym Particles but prefers to wait until she may feel comfortable with sharing her Stone with him, not wanting to seem like he has ulterior motives or any others beyond his curiosity and desire to learn more of her abilities.
  • She once tried to wrestle Godzilla in her giant form, while the King of the Monsters isn't amused by having to play along, he decided to go with the routine to entertain Rosa since she was no threat in any way to him, even letting her "win" brawls a few times to humor her, and other times trying to mentor her into using her powers for good or helping others. She has taken to playing with other kaiju as well, such as Gamera who took a soft spot for her due to his care for children, as did Mothra Leo for the same reason.
  • She also encountered the giant woman Nancy Archer and Clifford the giant red dog, both who took a liking to her for her genuinely optimistic and playful attitude, though once interference had to be made from some powerful deities to stop Rosa and Clifford from causing too much collateral damage in a game of chase the stick. In turn Nancy was willing to babysit Rosa whenever her parents felt she would wander too far from their temple or their view, to keep her out of getting into trouble with less than benevolent giant deities.
• Exclusive to Tuna Sandwich:
  • Tuna made connections in seers such as Garnet and Shulk, who like him employ their clairvoyance for good. Garnet herself also was interested in Tuna's temporary third eye whenever he uses his powers as she also has one such eye as a result of her fusion, she has fully befriended him by petting and caring for him in the times they cross paths and even has heard his stories of meeting aliens, even romancing a female alien cat and having a litter of space kittens who he cares for now, Tuna in turn was interested in her own stories of space and her components' nature given their dual element wielding reminds him of the Rings of Ice and Fire.
  • Garfield and Tuna Sandwich hang out from time to time thanks to their shared quirks as snarky pets, though Tuna is much more open about his feelings on other people and how he loves them, Garfield appreciates Tuna both due to his similar attitude and his useful clairvoyance when dealing with either Pantheonic traits or annoying people he wishes to avoid. Other cats such as Tom are also on good terms with Tuna despite their own antagonism, Tom occasionally accompanies Tuna on daily walks or drops by his temple to chat amicably.
• Exclusive to Stuck Chuck:
  • He made good friends with Peridot, another alien that once was part of a galactic empire as a low-ranking soldier but turned to good after being shown kindness and bravery of the real kind by their former enemies and realizing on their own they'd been supporting the wrong side. Peridot tried to build him some mechanical legs given she felt he probably could use a hand on that area but Chuck was fine with his current predictament as he saw it as his continuous atonement towards his past as a villain.
  • Chuck feels pity towards Zim, as he's seen the Invader is irrationally obsessed with his pointless goal of appealing to his higher-ups and isn't capable of comprehending how much they straight-up hate him; while he's done his fair share of attempts at convincing the Invader to give up his plans and reform so he can lead a better life his reasonings have fallen on deaf ears given Zim's unshakable narcissism, delusional behavior and stupidity which all irritated Chuck enough to never try again, even if he does still wishes Zim would see the light one day and turn good; even if that day is probably never ever coming.
  • Similarly to the case with Zim, he also feels pity for Jessie, James and Meowth since they too haven't figured out that they could be using their talents for good instead of evil, something he believes would bring them greater satisfaction than their current careers do; even more because they have occasionally reformed only to backtrack at every turn whenever they got even the slightest hint of validation from Giovanni, the trio in turns views him as an odd guy despite their off-field friendliness and preachy too so they avoid him. He does at least like to hear of another group of not-quite-evil villains who did see the light in Jindrax and Toxica.
• For the others:
  • Flo is a protective mother who instilled values of love and peace on both her daughter and her friends, always striving to add a little love to everything; as such she made good friends with other mothers in the Pantheon who too preferred a more peaceful life, one of these mothers was Kitty Forman, who also had an affinity for being motherly and guiding towards people unrelated to her, similarly she also built a rapport with Chi-Chi, due to her headstrong personality and initially having been opposed to her children fighting against evil due to fearing for their safety and future but has come around thanks to seeing the good they do for the world with it.
  • Carla prefers to spend her days running in her motorbike, she's had encounters with some bikers such as Beelzemon and the Kamen Riders, she primarily got along with Takeshi Hongo due to also being an old-timer biker who continues living his days full of action, albeit he's a more active fighter against evil than her. She also once witnessed Wario as Wario Man crash his bike in her and her allies' temple while looking for Mo's Dinner to have a snack, she didn't like him much but at least was glad he paid her friend, Flo, generously for the food.
  • Hamburg and Fry hang out in the House of Food, sometimes even taking long residences to avoid the attention of their unwanted suitor, Boss Fiosa. In the meantime they hang out with other duo deities who are likewise best friends, some of these deities were J.D. and Turk, a duo of lifelong friends who they cross paths with often on their travels and have talked about some mundane topics to pass time. They also had things to fear from Lord Dominator more than just her usual villainy, as she reminds them of their current Abhorrent Admirer Boss Fiosa (who may want to eat them after forcing them to marry her).
  • Carlos and Ramona found themselves acquaintanced with other romantic married or dating duos in the Pantheon, mostly those with similar active love lives. One of these couples was La Muerte and Xibalba who due to being Mexican Gods call to their roots as Mexican immigrants, they were impressed to meet them and were quick to bring up some really long talks about their lives and what they did in their time as heroes. Another couple they made friends with were Gomez and Morticia Addams, a loving and happy married couple who they found to be good company despite their creepiness.

looks good to me

I want to mention that the subject of Thanos and the Death Stone happened about two months ago, which is generally the time hype has been considered over. Also the subject of the Death Stone has been a thing for over a year.

Also I nominate Nagash the Undying as the Death Entity to nearly cause another Rot.

@RJ: for the other two.

@Clovis: for Edgar and Nimona. As for Kamoshida, how do you intend to address the whole changed heart thing that was the reason Masayoshi Shido could not be ascended?

The GUAE restored him to factory settings in spite/so he can fit the trope

Didn’t Shido’s draft also say that that the process to restore his original personality wasn’t perfect and he would swap between his personality before and after the change of heart?

@Vengeful: for Kid Cosmic and co.

Kid Cosmic:

I wanna say to Kamoshida since I can think of no one better fit for the trope.

• In Superman's Rogues Gallery, you will never find someone with the phenomenal cosmic powers tied with a sense of whimsy and playfulness as you will with Mister Mxyzptlk. A jester and magical imp from the Fifth Dimension on the planet Zrfff, he's typicall just jester, a comedian and everyman on his home turf.. But due to the 5th dimension's higher nature, he comes off as a god-like Reality Warper in the third dimension. Rather than anything outright evil like most of Superman's villains, he's content with pranking and messing with the Man of Steel. He can make the universe his clay but prefers to match wits with him by causing (relatively) harmless chaos. For a win condition, you have to get him him to say, spell, write, or otherwise communicate his own name backwards. So have him say "Ktlpzyxm" and he'll be gone for 90 days. He does have a sense of honor and respect behind his clownish behavior, making him more of a Friendly Enemy.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is relatively unique in that he isn't a specific version that ascended to the Trope Pantheon; all versions of the imp, unless specifically stated otherwise, are the same guy. His pestering of the Man of Steel spans the multiverse. Surprisingly, one mortal did the math and found this actually holds up. And because he can break the fourth wall with ease, he knows what the Trope Pantheon is. He came on his own accord to meet up and mess around with others, and there's no way he's gonna let Superman be where without him. Though Superman finds him annoying, they don't have much in the way of hard feelings and Mxy considers him his worthiest adversary. Second worthiest is Supergirl, who was a victim of his pranks during her early career. Some things he did include temporarily amping power levels up and removed her weakness to Kryptonite to humiliate Superman, depowered her, repowered her, lured her into a future century where everyone had been brainwashed into hating her, tried to get married to her (don't ask), banished her and Batgirl to other dimension and pretended to be her enemy Black Flame pretending be Supergirl as a part of a convoluted scheme to prank Superman and Batman (again, don't ask).
  • His relationship with Superman got a little strained when he was tricked by the mysterious Mr. Oz into being captured along with countless other heroes and villains. He figured Superman would rescue him once he stopped his regular visits, but when that didn't happen, he made his own escape and decided to steal Superman's son as his new best friend. To challenge Mxy's attempts, Superman challenged him to a game, where the winner gets to keep John. It was a back and forth contest where Mxy almost won several times, but ultimately the love of the Superfamily managed to merge his 2 halves back together and reclaim John. Mxy, as part of the game, agreed to go "far away" for a while, but he's fairly certain that Batmite and Gsptlsnz can keep him amused for now. And besides, he'd always be game for another game eventually.
• Where exactly Mr Mxyzptlk stands in the Fifth Dimension is often Depending on the Writer. In his original appearance, he was basically a nobody on Zrfff. Back in the Golden Age of Comics, his name was Mr Mxyztplk. He's got a bombshell of a wife in Ms Gsptlsnz, though as they're both higher dimensional shapeshifters they could just prefer those appearances. On that note, he thinks Roger and Jessica Rabbit are a cute couple. Originally it was suggested the Golden and Silver Age Mxy were counterparts though with the "all Mxys are the same guy" reveal it's possible this could be just "fifth-dimensional weirdness"...or maybe it's as simple as them being Mxy from different points in his timeline. Supes once managed to get to the Fifth Dimension and cause trouble for him on his home turf. He let Luthor use red kryptonite so long as he didn't reveal his involvement. It's also not clear how he would stand compared to the Daedric Princes in a no hold bars fight. The only one Mxy seems to care about is Sheogoroth, due to his precedent for tricking mortals and not even his fellow Daedric Princes were spared from being made a fool of. Oftentimes he can just do nothing, which you can learn about in a book series called the 16 Accords of Madness.
• Earlier in his timeline he used to be a serious minded researcher, but in order to complete a Stable Time Loop Young Justice they inspired within him a sense of humor via a Three Stooges bit. He was happy to meet them in the Trope Pantheon and thank them for the laughs. He's been experimenting with his look recently by looking like a Supreme Kai. The impish Glossyark attempted to mess with Mxyzptlk's timeline by getting two "temporally distinct" iterations to show up and cause chaos as he was feeling particularly impish. Present Mxyzptlk wasn't factored in and he ended up throwing a pie at Glossyark, before admitting what he was doing was Actually Pretty Funny. He likes to play games with him, with one being a gamble to be able to mess with Superman in his place. Glossyark always loses this because Mxyzptlk cheats by getting his even further future self's advice, but the former isn't away of that. The further future Mxyzptlk mentions he has something big in plan involving making Rick works with other Ricks and the Doctor work with their various incarnations, but he won't spoil what that entails.
  • The Golden Age Mxy, Mxyztplk, showed up next to the Beyonder, and challenged him to a reality bending game. To his confusion the Beyonder said he had met the imp, something that won't happen for quite some time in Mxy's personal timeline. Mxyztplk was intrigued at a being who's power was comparable to his own, however held disillusion with his power. Having a comparative equal to bounce off of was a relief to the Beyonder, though he grew a bit tired when he won most of the games he played. In Mxyztplk's defense, he's a lot younger than the Mxyzptlk who formally met the Beyonder some years back.
  • A future Mxyzptlk showed up about 10 years from his addition to the Trope Pantheon, and went back before his profile's rework to interfere with the DEATH BATTLE! between Rick and the Doctor. He took the form of his Arrowverse incarnation, but with a more accurate orange and purple ensemble and an aged, Silver Fox take on Peter Gadiot, summoning them to a planet inspired by Battleworld, modeled from notable settings in their universes. Introducing himself as "the Agate Guardian from beyond the Central Finite Curve", he would force them to work together if they're to navigate their way back to their portal gun and TARDIS respectively. The two actually worked close enough to get close to learning Mxy's true imp name, making him panic and go "all right, you guys win this round" and send them back with a priceless agate crystal for their troubles.
  • The current Mxyzptlk showed up next to Rick, having "gone on sabbatical" for 90 days before throwing the aforementioned pie at Glossyark. In actuality, Bugs did a routine of going "Ktlpzyxm! Mxyzptlk!" until the imp slipped up and said his name backwards. Since Rick just got back from dealing with future Mxy he did something similar to Earth-12 Supes by exploiting Cunningham's Law and Reverse Psychology, except way smugger about it. 90 days later, Mxy showed up only for Rick to show gadget with letters on the screen showing the backwards letters of Mxy's name, and Mxy accidently read it After like the third time Mxy reappeared, he bemoaned how his shtick is getting old and predictable at that point. He outsmarted the devil, he really should bring his A game by now. All being said, he should probably be thankful the imp's a good sport about it. The one time he did bring his A game...didn't end well.
• There are a few Mxys that are clearly not the same guy, but they're the exception rather than the rule and the main Mxyzptlk is well aware of their antics. Chiefly his Antimatter Universe counterpart Mixyezpitellik, a serious-minded and neatly dressed Reality Warper. He hates being compared to Mxyzptlk, calling him a "madcap imp". There's also a Bizarro Mxyzptlk made as a result of a Bizarro duplication ray, who's interested in creating order and usually pretty dour. Mxyzptlk jokes that they're somehow the same guy as only a Bizarro of him could be so humorless. Mr Mxyzptlk claims that Loki, Anansui and the Coyote are in fact just him under an alias but since he's from the DC Universe this is suspect. For what it's worth he gets along with Loki, seeing him as a kindred spirit if significantly more ambitious than him. The god of mischief decided to prank Thor by having Mxy disguise himself as Loki and the real Loki trying to "clear his name", keeping the act up until he gets bored and betrays him by working with his "imposter".
• Well aware of Marvel Comics, when he showed up Post-Crisis he initially went under the alias "Ben deRoy as a nod to the Beyonder. When the Beyonder ascended the two formally met (or more accurately the Beyonder met Mxy) and became friends since they enjoy playing with their phenomenal cosmic power. And yes, this is reference to the Genie. In the DC Universe, genies are often Fifth Dimensional imps, and his ilk have inspired other whimsical beings like leprechauns. He and the Genie enjoy stand up, however the Genie thinks Mxy can be a real jerk and while Mxyzptlk usually reverses the damage he does, he has killed. Still, he got a good chuckle over Mxyzptlk disguising himself as Iago and messing with Jafar by tempting him with great power only to put him in the Thousand And One Nights book and figure out how to get out. Afterwards he went after Hoopa and tried to test himself by summoning a bunch of legendaries and see if Hoopa Unbound can send them back with his rings. He's come to like the little scamp and decided to make another Pokemon his partner, that being the tricky and goofy Blacephalon.
• His true form is incomprehensible to third dimensional beings; being an imp is simply his preferred form to interact with them and not expose the Eldritch Abomination he really is. His true, secret imp name is unpronounceable...though the Joker would argue otherwise. Much like Rumpelstiltskin, knowing his true name gives you some power over him. The possible fae tried to get him in a deal spelling out his true name, but Mxy laughed saying "buddy, I like your trick but I don't need your name to make you do what I want. Don't worry though, it's not my style. Your little trick with Shrek, tricking him into It's a Wonderful Plot just by taking a day? Pretty clever trick". Said ogre would rather just ignore the imp, due to bad memories. This unpronounceable status is different to HIM, who's name isn't spoken more out of dread...or to get past the censors. HIM and Mr Mxyzptlk get along surprisingly well considering HIM is blatantly evil, as the demon loves to mess with the Powerpuff Girls in mind games and bending reality while only getting broken teeth at the worst. Unlike some other demons HIM is happy to just Poke the Poodle when he wants to subvert expectations, like pulling a bunch of mind games to make the Professor pay...for his flapjacks. He thinks a lot of what Mxy does to the Man of Steel is pretty funny. The two have made an agreement never to interfere with each other's turf if they're going to get along, something the imp can easily enforce.
• Said Powerpuff Girls deeply mistrust Mxyzptlk, having pointed out that sometimes he forges the "nuisance" part and becomes more of an outright villain. Their "Exhibit A" was My Adventures with Superman, where he made a new design based off a Supreme Kai, messing with Clark and Lois' relationship and trying to live up to the status of a chaos god. Mxy noted their "looks like a Supreme Kai" comment and decided to use that for some pranks; he pretended to be a Kaioshin there to help Goku with training. He offered "spiritual training", giving him a glowing black rock...akin to Black Kryptonite. The result was Goku undergoing a Literal Split Personality, one half an Unskilled, but Strong Blood Knight called Kakarot and the other a Weak, but Skilled humbler Goku that didn't like each other, being "his Saiyan and Earthling halves". The two ended up fighting until the Goku half tricked the Kakarot into "doing a little dance to show he's not just a brutish jerk"...and he did the same dance, aka a Fusion Dance. This returned him to normal and impressed the imp, saying he'll figure out something smarter. Enraged by this, Beerus confronted Mxy and said that if he tries this stunt again he might destroy him. The imp said "go on, bring it!". Beerus used Hakai...only for the purple energy to do nothing but light his cigar. Learning he got along with and was more powerful than Zen'o shut Beerus right up. The ascended Kaioshins have decided not to mess with him for now.
• All being said, his alias hardly pronounceable due to its complete lack of vowels, and usage of rare consonants. All his kind have the lack of vowels in their name. How do you even pronounce it varies; "Mix-pih-tulk", "Mix-yez-pitl-ick", "Mix-el-plik", they're all valid. Him having to say his name backwards might be a blessing in disguise. Rumpelstiltskin considered making another trick of getting Mxyzptlk to make him say his own name backwards or else he'll keep interfering with his mischief. Mxy accepted the deal, only to end up getting frustrated waiting for the other guy to say "Nikstlitslepmur" and accidentally saying his own name backwards in an angry rant^note "Why is it so hard for you to just say your name backwards already, I can say Ktlpzyxm eas...oh fooey". Ryuk used his Shinigami eyes to figure out his true name only to get "Mxyzptlk" in English instead..."nice try" said the imp. There wasn't any hard feelings as he likes the cut of the Shinigami's jib, being someone who's more proactive and interested in stirring the pot to see what happens. Mxy won't admit that him giving a mortal great power was done smarter than when he did it. Speaking of which...
• Famously, the Joker once scammed him of the majority of his power by exploiting his true imp name. Mxyzptlk only wanted to give him 1% of the power as he was curious to see what he'd do with that power, but he ended up taking 99.9% instead. Becoming Emperor Joker the universe bent to his insane vision and reality started tearing apart at the seams, requiring Mr Mxyzptlk to work with Superman to find a way to beat the Clown Prince of Crime. It's very much an Old Shame and by his own admission, a bone-headed move. Because of this he's made sure never to let himself be in that position again, staying clear of Dr Doom has he has a...reputation for taking god-like power for himself. He has no interest in giving anyone a drop of his power after that, so he stays clear of Moro and Lord Tirek as they can't be trusted with even a zillionth of his power. Much as it left him with egg on his face, Mxy was still interested in other cases of someone handling god-like power. He thinks Bruce Nolan being God for a Day was amusing, giving him props for yanking too hard on reality.
• Doom speculated he might actually be the Impossible Man for a bit, but the two ended up meeting and not getting along as the Impossible Man thought his pranks went a bit too far. He was outraged that not only did Mxy not care about innocent lives being endangered, but he lied to him. For context, this was a crossover between the Man of Steel and the Silver Surfer, where they joined powers to both make the crossover and prank the two heroes. The latter wasn't enthused about meeting him again given his more cavalier attitude towards danger. That's why the Collector is mistrustful of him, however the imp still has a soft spot for the kid and they like to compete at planetary billiards^note uninhabited planets mind you. That said, Mxy does have standards and a sense of honor. He's not like Bill Cipher who's idea of a good party is causing mass chaos and devastation, and he's not a Sadist like Yuuki Terumi. That said, he does enjoy playing games with Bill, but it's more about showing that triangle up. They regularly play reality-bending games in the Nightmare Realm, specifically there because Mxyzptlk feels Cipher needs to be on a leash until he learns how to play nicer, often with him making fun of Cipher for using his hedonism in part to cover up the fact he misses the home he burned down. Him wanting to prove he's a better mischief maker is meant to distract the villain.
• Got a bit bored of playing poker with Bill in the Nightmare Realm and he manifested into somewhere a bit more colorful...Equestia...which history has shown is a bad idea. Discord immediately confronted Mxy given his fight trying to fight off the menace of Bill, who responded with "just ask Ktlpzyxm over there". The imp's response was "that's Ktlpzy-...oh you scummy Dorito chip!" and turned Bill into a Dorito before kicking him out. Mxzyptlk apologized for that, since he's a fan of Discord and enjoys messing around with reality, but not too much. The Mane 6 were curious, if a bit concerned over someone "who's been playing Discord's game before De Lancie was a glimmer in his daddy's eye!...oh yeah, I should probably mention I can see the bronies too." While his specialty is messing with Superman, he's decided to mess with Pinkie Pie by summoning her and Deadpool into a World of Chaos and see if they can figure their way out together. He wanted to be sporting and ran a deli for them when they get hungry, but he got tricked into saying his name backwards when asking to be paid for the chimichanga and ice cream. 90 days later, he wanted a redo and they were happy to do so.
• The Fifth Dimension is described as being "imagination". It is one ontological layer below the Sixth Dimension, the "multiversal control room" which Perpetua and her relatives come from. The planet he's from, Zrfff, is the home of imps, genies and similar beings, who's magic is advanced 5-D science. Visitors have described Zrfff as being a wacky and chaotic place, something close to a Looney Tunes sketch. To some degree, you could say that Mr Mxyzptlk is like a trickster who uses Toon Physics. Mxy corrected this by saying "my powers aren't toonforce, I simply present it like that!" Judge Doom still despises Mxyzptlk for how close in temperament and to a degree powers he resembles a toon, even if he's a toon underneath that human suit. Emperor Belos holds Mxy in contempt as someone that resembles, seeking his power for himself to purge the world of "sinful" races. Not wanting to take any chances, he turned him into an action figure and played with him as the Collector played with an "action figure" of Zamasu. The mad Kaioshin made the mistake of trying to attack Mxy because he saw him as an irresponsible god at best, god-complexed juiced up mortal at worst. Said action figure doesn't have a voice box because the imp didn't want the "action figure" to say slurs in front of the kid.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is a big fan of the Looney Tunes. The imp waxed on a (possibly untrue) story that before the Man of Steel he was in a prank war with Bugs Bunny and lost, but liked the moxie and decided to improve his craft. The story may be made up, but the point is that the two got along long enough for Mxy to ask him for a favor and go humiliate the Joker as payback for the time he stole his power. The Joker thought he could get one up on Bugs by making him say " Ynnub Sgub" but as Bugs was using Toon Physics alone, no dice. The whole thing was recorded by Future Zeno who figured out how to use a camera, in order to show off to Present Zeno. Mxyzptlk likes those kids, musing "sentimentality isn't my style but hey, I'm a dad myself". Mxy's fondness for the Zeno duo might be because of sadness over how his son (sort of, it's complicated) Vyndktvx turned out. He tried killing him only to take out the Thing-King (actually a future Mxyzptlk) he systematically destroyed all of the planets inside his pocket dimension to spite his enemy, and inflicting a massive amount of misery towards Superman for burning Vyndktvx's arm during one of his attacks on Earth. He'll entertain him in exchange for getting to mess with Goku. So long as he comes back in one piece and he gets to watch, Zeno will allow it.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is absurdly powerful by simple virtue of being from a fifth-dimensional Wackyland, but just how absurdly powerful depends. Sometimes the way to banish him is a self-imposed limitation, sometimes it's a hard rule. He's a self-admitted sucker for games, not necessarily that he is bound to their rules as the Celestial Toymaker is that he really likes them. Not coincidentally, the Toymaker happens to be a good friend of his. The two are reality warpers who occupy themselves and their immortality with games. The Toymaker uses more "official" games while Mxyzptlk does mind games and jokes. They each have their personal Worthy Opponent in the Doctor and Superman respectively. They're also significantly more powerful than nearly every other member of said opponent's rogues gallery. The Toymaker's games are considerably more nasty, with the occasional Fate Worse than Death, however like Mr Mxyzptlk he has rules and some sense of fairness he follows. The imp has tried to make it a regular thing every week to meet up with the Toymaker and play games, often requiring the Doctor and Superman to work together in order to mitigate collateral. In Mxy's defense, he'll reverse whatever damage the Toymaker didn't bother to as he's not as bad. Sarda will sometimes be invited for game night.
• By his own admission there are some beings beyond him, such as Dr Manhattan and, given the aforementioned Sixth Dimension, the Monitor and his relatives in their true form. He doesn't exactly care for Jon Osterman's attitude and has tried to tell him to lighten up, but is otherwise ambivalent towards him. Unfortunately, it also means that as the Darkest Knight, the Batman That Laughs is a threat and one just as comparable to Emperor Joker, if not even worse. He's definitely above Darkseid given he was no match to Emperor Joker, at least regularly as True Form Darkseid is not a form the Lord of Apokolips uses lightly. Beings like Darkseid and YHVH consider him utterly insufferable for not using his powers for anything serious. The Living Tribunal isn't all that impressed by his actions and general irreverence, and Mxyzptlk isn't exactly fond of someone much more powerful than him being, as he sees it, a stick in the mud. Still, he recognizes the Living Tribunal's importance and the two begrudgingly tolerate each other. Also of note; it's ambiguous where SCP-3125, another being from (a different) Fifth Dimension would stand compared to the imp. What is known is that the Escapee finds him obnoxious and insufferable, and Mxy thinks he's no fun.
• His focus on the DC Universe is usually just Superman and friends. As annoying and chaotic as he is, more than a few times they've had a laugh at what transpired. While he is on speaking terms with Lex Luthor, that's more down to him being ok with helping him once in a blue moon to cause mischief, not because he likes him. Bizarro seems to get along with him a bit more, though that's more down to one incarnation of Bizarro coming to be because of the Joker using the imp's powers and Mxy being nice enough to keep him around when reality went back to normal. Mxy has a Friendly Rivalry with Batman's most powerful fanboy, another 5-D imp called Bat-Mite, who in the (possibly non-canon) "World's Funniest" they ended up rampaging and destroying the multiverse in their little conflict, only to put reality back together good as new like nothing happened. Again, good thing he's only interested in mischief. One of his antics was dunking on the Spectre with planets, something the angel is not impressed by. He's more livid at the time Mxy impersonated him to watch over Regime Superman when he was troubled by Trigon, as no-one messes with his Supes but him! The fact Trigon wasn't squashed like a bug would solidify his Overdeity status in the Trope Pantheon.
• Once faced an Eldritch Abomination called the Ultimator, who was a 10-dimensional being that almost succeeded at consuming and assimilating the Fifth Dimension into itself. Being completely outclassed, Mxyzptlk had to resort to other comic books to figure out a solution. His solution? Make his own version of Dream of the Endless to bore the Ultimator into a slumber. The actual Dream tolerates this parody, but he didn't think it was all that funny. Since the Fifth Dimension is imagination, one could argue that it falls under the domain of Dream...though there's always the question of "how canon is Vertigo to DC anyway?" He does respect Dream, though he gets along a lot better with Delirium due to sharing that spirit of chaotic whimsy, though even Mxy is cautious not to truly upset her. As the Fifth Dimension is imagination, that puts Mxy in opposition to the Nothing. On a related note, the Auditors despise Mxyzptlk for his boundless whimsy and imagination coupled with the power to make his chaotic whims a reality.
• As much as he's seen as a Laughably Evil or even Harmless Villain, it's very important to remember the only reason Mr Mxyzptlk is not one of the most dangerous villains in all of DC is because he chooses not to. At heart he's Above Good and Evil and acts out of boredom; he spent the first 2000 years of his life in stasis, the next 2000 doing good deeds and now being a prankster. In one scenario he decided to try being a villain for 2000 years, and afterwards maybe he'll feel guilty about it. It did not end well, with many innocent people and much of Superman's supporting and rogues gallery dying. Xenophanes wants to goad Mr Mxyzptlk into doing that again, but he's given a firm "no" since that ended with Superman killing him, and he's not that bored yet...or maybe that's something that happens at the end of his personal timeline. He finds Lord X to be droll and unimaginative, but this doesn't change the fact that he and Bill Cipher are well aware he absolutely has the potential to be more dangerous than them.

Prince Huepow, God of Platforming Pocket Pals (Hewpoe)

^{His true form}

• Hall of Game Characters
• Lesser God
• Symbol: The Moon Kingdom's crescent symbol
• Theme music: I'm On Your Side
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Portfolio: Floating Limbs, Non-Player Companion, powers the Wind Ring, Prince Incognito, Royals Who Actually Do Something, Voluntary Shapeshifting, gives Klonoa Fake Memories of them always being friends but starts to like him for real, Manipulative Bastard, feels guilty for using Klonoa, Disney Death, delivers a Cruel Twist Ending, his appearances in spinoffs contradict all of this
• Domains: The moon, wind, deceit, guilt, memories
• Herald: The Moon Queen
• Complicated relationship: Klonoa
• Allies: The King of Sorrow, Princess Luna, Nebby (as Lunala), Sailor Moon, Naminé, Shūkurō Tsukishima
• Enemies: Joka, Lenna, Shadow the Hedgehog, Nightmare Moon, Dr. Eggman, Majora's Mask
• Huepow is a spirit who lives inside the wind ring, a magical object that allows its bearer to inflate mooks. Klonoa met him while walking in the woods one day, and they've been best friends ever since. Except... that was all a lie. He's actually the humanoid prince of Cress, the long-hidden Moon Kingdom, who summoned Klonoa from another world and gave him fake memories so he could save Phantomile from Ghadius' nightmares. However, during their adventure, he grew attached to Klonoa, and felt horribly guilty when he told him the truth. When Klonoa was forcibly sucked out of Phantomile, Huepow was on the verge of tears.
• Huepow was chosen to represent Platforming Pocket Pal because because he disappears into the wind ring during gameplay, allowing him to stay with Klonoa at all times. He used to be Klonoa's herald, so naturally they reunited after Huepow ascended. Their history had been an Elephant in the Living Room for a while, even though Klonoa had long since come to accept his role as the Dream Traveller. Huepow's ascension gave them a chance to talk things through with each other. Despite how much they've changed, they still agree that Joka is their enemy. When they learned he was causing trouble in the Pantheon, they teamed up to stop him.
• Huepow had never met the King of Sorrow before the Pantheon, but Klonoa had. They have a lot in common: they're both royals from a long-hidden kingdom with a blue and gold colour scheme, and the Kingdom of Sorrow is called Hyuponia. They have so much in common, in fact, that some interpret the King as the embodiment of Klonoa's sorrow about being forced out of Phantomile. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the King of Sorrow regarded Huepow with suspicion at first, but they eventually bonded over their similarities.
• Lenna was horrified when she learned about what Huepow did to Klonoa. Despite his repentance and best intentions, she just can't forgive him. It's eerily similar to what Delvin did to her — altering her memories and then manipulating her because he thought it would save the kingdom, but instead only corrupting it more. Similarly, Shadow the Hedgehog thought he had fake memories at one point, so he's wary of Huepow.
• Naturally, Huepow gets along with moon-related deities. He especially sympathises with Princess Luna, who was sealed away in the moon, much like how the Moon Kingdom was sealed off from the rest of Phantomile for a long time. Plus, just like Klonoa, Luna can enter dreams. However, he's enemies with Luna's Superpowered Evil Side, Nightmare Moon, because she tried to cover the world in darkness like Ghadius. Usagi, or Sailor Moon, is also the heir of a moon kingdom, though in her case, she didn't know about it until later in life. Huepow also gets along with Nebby's Lunala form even though doesn't have any powers over the moon; she just happens to have the aesthetic. He doesn't take kindly to Dr. Eggman, who once blew up half the moon, or the entity possessing Majora's Mask, who tried to crash the moon into Termina.
• Huepow has a lot in common with Naminé and Shūkurō Tsukishima. Naminé was forced to alter Sora's memories to make him think she was his childhood friend instead of Kairi, who she was a clone of. She hates using her powers, and eventually restored Sora's memories to normal, but he had to forget all about her as a side-effect. Shūkurō is the God of Fake Memories, and used to use his powers to mess with people, but eventually reformed and felt remorse for his actions.

Hm... Well, if you want more characters for him to interact with, I imagine he wouldn't get along with most (if not all) other manipulators, such as Johan Liebert...

Okay time to change these tropes that either don’t fit anymore or just don’t exist.

Fionna and Cake for Genderbent Alternate Universe Reasoning: The premise of the Fionna and Cake episodes, and then their show. Revealed to be a genuine Genderbent Alternate Universe made by Prismo and not a Fan Fic made by Ice King, the plot of Fionna and Cake revolves around them saving their home from Scarab’s plans of total omnicide for it being an unauthorized universe.

• I also propose to give their old trope Fan Fic to Metallix; he’s the Big Bad of Super Mario Bros. Z, one of the most popular fanfictions on the internet, and is wildly popular among both the Mario and Sonic fanbases as a result, and even people not among them tend to know who he is not just for his popularity and status as the main antagonist, but brutality, cruelty, Awesome Music, and having Cooler’s voice. Killer Robot, which he has, isn’t a Fan Fic trope, so I felt, well, Fanfic fits better.

Tangle and Whisper for Ambiguously Gay

Reasoning: This is an Enforced Trope. The two are shown to be extremely close, one scene with them features background colors resembling the lesbian pride flag, and Whisper reacts with a brutally visceral, horrified and tearful Say My Name when Tangle succumbs to Zombot infection which drives her to attempt to murder Eggman. Not only that, but Whisper desperately tries to keep Tangle out of danger, and Tangle is often worried for her, culminating in Anger Born of Worry at Eggperial City. But Sega mandates prohibit characters from being portrayed in romantic relationships, period, so they can never be confirmed as a couple or not, just really good friends, maybe something more.
