* ToxicFamilyInfluence: Quite a few villains of the series became villains due to the negative influences of their families.
** Harold the Herald, a former enemy turned ally of the Sharp Gang, is an AffablyEvil AmusingAlien, but he's still ''evil''. A large part of that is because his father, Kahorgoth, was an evil alien warlord, who is mentioned to have [[CorruptTheCutie trained children to be serial killers]]. Among Harold's list of crimes are: working for Elloise Ludum, an [[PhysicalGod Overseer]] who kidnaps people and creatures from across the Multiverse to force them to compete in GladiatorGames; destroying entire cities: and [[WouldHurtAChild killing children]], including [[EvilUncle his own nephew]] and an entire bus full of children that he [[FedToTheBeast locked in a cage]] with a [[KillerGorilla rabid gorilla]]. Indeed, Harold's child-murdering is regarded as especially heinous by those who know him, including his adoptive brother [[BountyHunter Bustar]] [[GoodIsNotSoft Terminax]], who ''[[AnArmAndALeg cut off both his arms]]'' the second time he did it. That said, his recent HeelFaceTurn proves he's ''not'' irredeemable, and even he has moral lines that his father would cross, but he wouldn't.
** Astra, the Overseer of Dimension A-016, was raised by her mother Tarsa, a sociopathic {{Narcissist}} of an Overseer who had long since grown apathetic to humanity and treated them merely as a means of entertainment. Tarsa was cruel to her daughter, and raised her to [[LackOfEmpathy not care about other beings]], which is in direct contrast to an Overseer's job being to watch over and protect their world. Because of this, Astra had no problem partnering up with her mother's former friend [[SatanicArchetype Lucifer]] and helping him create a [[TheLegionsOfHell demonic army]] with which he could overrun the world to make sure Tarsa wouldn't get to [[RetiredMonster retire peacefully on it after all the bad things she'd done to her]]. Luckily, Astra's eventual friendship with the Agency of Supernatural Protection made her [[PositiveFriendInfluence realize how what she was doing made her no better than her mother]] and do a HeelFaceTurn.
** Zamrzalak, the StarterVillain of spin-off series ''Mythal-Lethal'', is the daughter of [[Myth/SlavicMythology Morana]] and [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Anubis]], who is a proud enforcer of the Imperium Pantheon (a pantheon of JerkassGods to end all Jerkass Gods- with a few Overseers thrown in), forces the unlucky mortal Ortis Filimo to track down demigods and gods who the Pantheon want to kill before they can grow powerful enough to challenge their rule- [[ImproperlyParanoid even if those demigods aren't genuinely powerful or dangerous]]- and, after sending her pet monster Mrzawa to kill an innocent demigod father in front of Ortis, scars his arm with the word "Godslave" as a [[MarkOfShame permanent reminder for him to know his place]]. The narrator speculates that, perhaps if [[DarkIsNotEvil Anubis]] had raised Zamrzalak instead of her mother, she might have turned out more [[GodIsGood compassionate towards humanity]].
** Finally, there is Fear Herself/Arava, the Overseer of Dimension [[NumberOfTheBeast D-667]]. 700 years ago, Arava was a little Polynesian girl whose mother would constantly force her to go and work with the other villagers, so that she could "[[ArcWords be of value]]" to her. When Arava was chosen as the successor of her world's Overseer, and first used her powers to [[WeatherManipulation dispel a raging storm over her island]], her mother appeared to show actual affection for her for the first time- but ultimately, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk she just saw her daughter's powers as a way to continue forcing her to serve her and the village]]. As the years went on, and Arava's powers brought prosperity to first her island, and then the rest of the world, her mother became increasingly complacent, greedy, and entitled, berating Arava every time the good fortunes she brought started to dip, and forcing her to keep giving them more and more, while [[AllTakeAndNoGive giving her nothing in return]]. Eventually, Arava snapped and decided that her mother- and humanity as a whole- didn't deserve her help. Now, Arava has become a tyrannical ruler of her dimension, creating increasingly powerful and dangerous demons to torment people with, and while she claims it's [[MiseryBuildsCharacter to force them to face their fears, conquer them, and change into better people with better lives]], ultimately it's because she's still caught in a loop of alternating between trying to [[WellDoneDaughterGal be of value to her long-dead mother]], and trying to torture her, seeing her cruelty and laziness in ''every human alive''- basically, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist she just wants the rest of the Multiverse to be as miserable as her mother made her]].

* PainfulConfession: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzDpuQZZpz0 Battle for the Beast World]], Astra the [[PhysicalGod Overseer]], who ended up being pitted against [[WeUsedToBeFriends her former friends]], Sterling Engeal and Alexis Jones, was forced to reveal by the BigBad Ulitus that [[WhatTheHellHero she was the one responsible]] for their dimension getting invaded by TheLegionsOfHell six years ago, by giving [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] a piece of [[{{Macguffin}} the Multiversal Orb]] with which he was able to create and release his demons. This in turn led to the HeroicSacrifice of their friend/Sterling's girlfriend Diamos, Lucifer's daughter, in order to kill her father and destroy his army- a sacrifice Alexis now feels [[SenselessSacrifice she should never have had to make]] if not for Astra. By the end of the battle, though, Astra reveals that they only know one side of the story: [[spoiler: she ''was'' Diamos, or rather, Diamos was an alternate identity of hers that she created many years ago. Astra was raised to be an Overseer by her [[AbusiveParents abusive, narcissistic mother]] Tarsa, who had grown [[LackOfEmpathy apathetic to humanity]] over thousands of years, and wanted Astra to succeed her and clean up their messes so that she could become a human again and spend the rest of her life on Earth as a RetiredMonster. But Astra hated the idea of her mother getting a peaceful retirement after all the cruel things she'd done to her, so instead, she visited the pocket dimension that Tarsa kept her former friend Lucifer locked in, and gave him a piece of the Multiversal Orb, so that, while he couldn't escape, he could create demons and release them onto the world, all to ruin Tarsa's planned retirement home so that Astra could spite her cruel mother. Astra had not been brought up to care about human beings, like most Overseers, but when she saw Sterling and Alexis forming the [[CreatureHuntingOrganization Agency of Supernatural Protection]], she grew interested in them, and knew she wanted to be a part of their story. So, she disguised herself as a demon, gave Lucifer FakeMemories of her being his daughter, and joined up with the Agency to help [[DefendsAgainstTheirOwnKind fight against the demons]]. Eventually, though, she grew sick of PlayingBothSides in the human-demon war that she'd started, realizing that she was no better than her mother now, and so she decided to end her sick game by [[FakingTheDead making it appear as though she died killing Lucifer]], leaving her home dimension behind, and locking it off to prevent any other Overseers from coming there and ruining it like she'd done. She desperately wanted to stay with her friends, having [[BecommingTheMask genuinely come to love them]], but she felt sure that they'd hate and reject her once they [[WasItAllALie found out the truth about her]].]] By the time she finishes her confession, Astra is broken-voiced and ashamed. Alexis is clearly [[TranquilFury angry and incredulous]], but then Sterling steps forwards and reassures Astra that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre the fact she genuinely came to love them proves that not all of their relationship was a lie]], and whilst he doesn't trust her to be a RedeemingReplacement for Ulitus, he ''can'' forgive her, and be grateful to have his old love back. From this moment on, Astra now strives to be TheAtoner for all the bad things she's done in her past, and to repair her relationship with her old friends.

* HairSubstituteFeature: Fear Herself/Araava, one of the main villains of the ''WebVideo/MultiverseTales'', differs from other [[PhysicalGod Overseers]] by having bubbling, shifting purple slime instead of hair on top of her head. This, combined with her [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation unnaturally blackish-grey skin]], SupernaturalGoldEyes, and CreepyMonotone, helps establish her as an unsettling HumanoidAbomination, perfectly fitting for a woman who [[TheManBehindTheMonsters created the hordes of demons]] that populate her world.

* SympatheticVillainDespicableVillain: Two of the villains in the series are Dresden Oakland and Fear Herself, two Overseers ([[PhysicalGod individuals with powers comparable to gods]]) who have antagonistic encounters with the [[BadassCrew Sharp Gang]]. [[https://popcross-studios.fandom.com/wiki/Dresden Dresden]], despite his CreepyMonotone, [[BodyHorror burnt, flaky skin]] and overall nightmarish appearance, is a [[spoiler:[[NobleDemon surprisingly honourable man]] who always [[IGaveMyWord keeps his word]], acts as the warden of a [[ExtranormalPrison prison for dangerous supervillains]], and has a [[WellIntentionedExtremist noble goal]] of making the Multiverse a better place by getting rid of the Overseers that he sees as causing most of its problems ([[VillainHasAPoint an opinion supported by the fact that]] ''his world's'' former Overseer, Tarsa, deliberately created dangerous monsters to overrun his world, then scarred him and left him behind so that [[DestroyerDeity the Reaper]] would have to ''kill every living thing in his world'' just to prevent such monsters spreading to other worlds)]]. [[spoiler:He also harbours secret guilt for imprisoning [[ActionGirl Unkillable Kate]] in [[HellholePrison Backcells Prison]] for 20 years to make her strong enough to be his UnwittingPawn, especially since his plan was rendered [[AllForNothing pointless by his own partner]], and ultimately decided to let her escape.]] [[https://popcross-studios.fandom.com/wiki/Fear_Herself Fear Herself]], however, is a [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who, beneath her claims that she creates [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]] to encourage people to [[FaceYourFears face their fears]] and [[MiseryBuildsCharacter make better lives for themselves]], ultimately [[ForTheEvulz enjoys humans' suffering]] and is [[TheUnapologetic unapologetic]] about ruining [[DemonSlaying Cosmara Noroi's]] life by giving her the curse that turns her into a DemonOfHumanOrigin. Dresden is clearly a more sympathetic villain than Fear by these reasons alone.

* NowAllowedToHug: [[ActionGirl "Unkillable" Kate Bleickur]] HatesBeingTouched, stemming from [[DarkAndTroubledPast years of growing up in a nightmarish prison dimension full of supervillains]], which [[HadToBeSharp taught her to see everything around her as a direct danger to her life]], including physical contact (except for hugging her young friend Ana Fenz). In a gender-switched dynamic of BroodingBoyGentleGirl, [[CourteousCanadian Sterling Engeal]] starts helping Kate adjust to life outside of prison and to teach her how to [[DefrostingIceQueen let go of such an unhealthy mindset]]. While the process is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome naturally slow-going]], by the time of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzR0-HUCn7o The Soul of the Enemy]], she's progressed enough that ''she's'' the one who initiates her and Sterling's first hug, as a way of [[CooldownHug relieving]] her AngerBornOfWorry due to him recently visiting [[AntiVillain Dresden Oakland]], the warden of her former prison, without telling anyone about it beforehand. Sterling's [[CrushBlush reaction]] heavily contributes to the growing ShipTease between the two. Further proof of Kate's emotional growth is in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckCovtNXv7o The Broken Hero]], where, when ''Sterling'' is the one having a HeroicBSOD after a really cruel decision of Dresden's, ''Kate'' decides to [[NowLetMeCarryYou repay the emotional help he's given to her before]] by intimately touching him above his heart, and then helping him begin to heal by having the two sleep platonically together with his arms wrapped around her for the night. All of which shows the positive influence Sterling's had on Kate.

* HumongousHeadedHammer:
** Vasilia Kuznet is a [[UltimateBlacksmith highly-skilled blacksmith]], willing to forge suits of armour and weapons for anybody who asks it of her. She is depicted with a hammer with a long handle and a head comparable to a solid stone block, though, in contrast to most characters, she's depicted resting the hammer's head against the ground so she can lean on the handle and put one foot on the head. Vasilia is presumably strong enough to wield the hammer seeing as she's both a blacksmith ''and'' a HuskyRusskie. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCzYZpgygM&list=PLItBjti8LwWHnZXTdD9Wb_P3K8uIKaZ4y&index=1 this video]], she recalls having been contracted by [[ElementalEmbodiment the very personifications of the four elements]], and when she forged armour for the embodiment of the earth... we'll let Vasilia explain in her own words.
--->'''Vasilia:''' For a weapon, he wanted something ''big'', and when I asked him, "How big?" he said, again, "'''[[BiggerIsBetter Big]]!'''" So I designed him hammer with the same elements for his armour. And the mallet was nearly as large as his body! [[HusskyRusskie I]] could not even come close to lifting thing myself, but ''he'' swung it with one hand like it was child's plaything!
** Voslo, Vasilia's older brother, is even burlier than his sister, and he has a hammer head built by her to replace his [[HandicappedBadass missing right hand]]. The hammer's size is not that outlandish compared to his sister's, but in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJn8O4mf-Wk one episode]], Vasilia mentions that when she gave her brother pieces of a magical armour equivalent to [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Ball]], the hammer magically grew bigger, along with the arm and armour around it, and Voslo could even turn it into a ShapeshifterWeapon with enough willpower!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkCxvqaXwLQ "Astra and the Secret Knights"]]: Unghu, TheBigGuy of the titular Knights, is a BoisterousBruiser who carries a hammer over his shoulders with a head that easily dwarfs his own head. Unghu can carry the hammer due to the fact that he's a [[DraconicHumanoid Dragonborn]], and therefore is strong enough to carry the hammer when normal humanoids can't.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sg8AiiZuSM "Kate Kills Claus"]]: The Hammer Twins are [[BanteringBaddieBuddies two supervillains]] who work for [[BadSanta an evil version of Santa Claus]]. Frost (based on Music/FrostyTheSnowman) uses a hammer with a head that looks like two top hats put together, which enables him to [[AnIcePerson create icicles and pillars of ice]] to fight with. Cindy Lou (based on [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Cindy Lou Who]]) uses a hammer [[NamedWeapons called Nutcracker]], which looks for the most part like a cartoonish wooden mallet with an even bigger head than Frost's. Cindy Lou can carry it effortlessly, partially due to the fact that [[{{Sizeshifter}} the hammer shrinks to toy size]] when it leaves her hand, and only grows back to normal size when touched with a bare hand (hers or otherwise)- and Kate is pragmatic enough to use this to [[TitleDrop kill Claus]] by getting close enough to stuff the shrunken hammer inside his mouth with her gloved hand, then touching it with her bare hand to make it regrow with... [[YourHeadAsplode explosive results]].

The Multiverse is a vast place, and each universe is guarded by a being with a title known as Overseer, who is given the ability to maintain their universe, but not all of them are benevolent.

This story is about a group of people, from different universes, who stumbled upon each other and decided to unite to help the people all around the Multiverse.

By the end of the battle, when Ulitus is defeated, Astra reveals via her shapeshifting abilities that she ''is'' Diamos- or, more precisely, Diamos was an identity that ''Astra'' assumed in order to fight alongside Sterling and Alexis when she grew [[IntriguedByHumanity interested in them]] all those years ago.]]
