Pantheon / Extrovert Characterization

Go To

Because of an overload of deities, the Hall of Characterization (back when it was a Hall in another House) had to be split further into Extrovert Characterization and Introvert Characterization.

Extrovert Characterization represents anyone characterized by their interaction with people, places, things, and other outside factors.

  • Gamera was a special guardian monster made by the ancient Atlanteans, whose earlier creations, the Gyaos, went out of control and had to be stopped. Though this particular Gamera was only one of many, he was different in that he was able to bond with Earth and humans giving it strength surpassing that of the rest of his kind, which all perished fighting the Gyaos. Though the Atlanteans ultimately perished to the Gyaos' hunger, Gamera was able to destroy most of them save for a few clutches of eggs which were kept dormant by Earth's mana... Until humanity's activities such as pollution and deforestation weakened the Mana of Earth, reawakening the Gyaos and forcing Gamera to resume his duties to stop the Gyaos bonding telepathically with a human girl known as Asagi Kusanagi. Further threats arrived in the form of the alien Legion and the evolved Gyaos, Irys. Though humanity nearly turned on Gamera, the threat of the Gyaos eventually allowed humans to once again cooperate to combat the ever-growing swarms once Irys was stopped.
    • In another Earth in 1973, Gamera was combatting a swarm of Gyaos, but was eventually overwhelmed and forced to self-destruct to save Earth. 33 years later he reincarnated into a new form, known as Toto. Starting as a baby tortoise with the ability to float and shoot small bursts of fire, but the threat of the Gyaos mutant Kaiju Zedus forced Toto to grow in power and size to combat it. Thanks to being raised by a young boy named Toru Aizawa, Toto was able to stop Zedus without self-destructing like the previous Gamera and saved the day before flying away to keep defending Earth.
  • One night in the Pantheon, a mysterious object was flying across the starry skies. Some eyewitnesses assumed that a UFO had arrived, but it turned out not to be the case. Soon it was found out to be Gamera, who had been ascended thanks to his connection and bonds with children as well as his tendency to prioritize their safety above any other human's own. Occasionally he'll be accompanied by his son/resurrection Toto.
  • A few were taken aback at how Gamera started off as a threat before later becoming a hero. Unlike Godzilla where the shifts between hero and villain happen quite a bit, Gamera being a hero became a consistent trait of his after his fight against Barugon, as Gamera was still quite villainous when he encountered the infamous icy monster. So far, the most evil that has come out of Gamera is his tendency to ignore the destruction and chaos of his fights when he focuses on his duties of fighting the Gyaos which stems from Gamera prioritizing Earth itself above humanity.
    • For Toto, many were interested to hear about the reincarnation cycle of Gamera, as Toto himself is still Gamera but in a new body. Likewise his bond with his now grown human, Toru was a subject of interest for many as it was probably deeper than any other Gamera's due to Toru caring for and raising Toto from birth. Toto himself was eager to follow his "father" into his Pantheon duties, Gamera hopes to train his young successor for the scenario that he might have to sacrifice himself for good, recalling how when Godzilla in one world died his energy was absorbed by his son, Godzilla Jr. allowing the latter to grow in strength and size.
  • Many Toku Deities have varying relations with Gamera:
    • In regards to Godzilla, Gamera shares most of the same enemies as him, especially the more alien adversaries or those seeking to harm Earth. When it comes to the Big G's allies, it's pretty much the same, though one ally that Gamera made but isn't Godzilla's was Battra, as Gamera also prioritized protecting the planet's ecosystem over humanity, to the point that he'll have no qualms about causing destruction to civilization if it's needed to stop the Gyaos or any threat to the planet, even if Gamera usually is more careful about collateral damage than Battra. While Godzilla and Gamera once had a showdown that ended in Godzilla's victory, Gamera does not hold it against him and instead has shifted focus to dealing with the various Pantheonic threats.
    • Gamera also befriended Mothra and Mothra Leo for being Earth's defenders and undergoing a similar cycle of death and rebirth, even if they both may object to Gamera's fiercer and more destructive tendencies when dealing with the Gyaos. Gamera himself respects their connection to Earth's ecosystem and how they've tried teaching humans coexistence with the ecosystem and to be more responsible with the planet's ecosystem. Toto himself befriended Leo the most, as both were successors to deceased parents and were much kinder than those who preceded them and their fondness for children which in Toto's case is far more pronounced than the other Gamera.
    • He also allied with other Earth defending Kaiju such as Anguirus, Baragon, and Zilla Junior. For the last one, Toto gets along the most with him due to their status as Kaiju's children who were raised by humans from birth and were changed in many ways due to this upbringing even listening to their human caretaker in many ocassions.
    • He has a somewhat uneasy alliance with Biollante, as while the hybrid Kaiju can be dangerous, her allegiance to Earth makes her far less dangerous of a threat and reasonable to the point that Gamera can talk her down rather than find himself in need of engaging her in battle to stop her.
    • Gamera has also an ally in King Kong, the King of Skull Island also having been in a similar situation to Gamera, as they both are the last of their kind in their respective universe and lost the rest of their species to their eternal Arch-Enemy Kaiju (with the Skullcrawlers being all too similar to the Gyaos serving as further bonding points). While some Pantheon residents and deities have wished for them to also fight, they have declined the offers as neither finds any good reason to fight.
    • As they protect the Universe from various threats and have also organized to fight the recently ascended Gyaos, Gamera found himself with allies in the Ultras of the Pantheon who also found a commonality in their capacity to bond with living beings (and in Gamera's case, even the whole planet Earth). Toto befriended Zero for being the son of a great hero and felt bad for Riku Asakura/Geed given his own complications towards his father, Belial who is an enemy of both Gamera and Toto.
    • As he creates evil Kaiju designed to wreck havok and capable of damaging reality and Earth, Yapool became a great enemy of both Gamera and Toto, especially with his recent interest in the Gyaos, who he sees as valuable assets for his conquests. Gamera has so far even been worried that Yapool's dimension energy which can be reworked to disastrous effects may end in the hands of the grand alliances of evil and destruction.
    • Since they're defenders of Earth, the heroic Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and Power Rangers Deities befriended the giant turtle Kaiju. His bond with children was a major deciding factor, even if they can be rather uncomfortable when seeing Gamera's more destructive side that tends to result in civilian casualties, though the fact that this side rarely emerges mitigates any possibility of tensions arising due to it.
  • As his origins lie with the Atlanteans, Gamera was quick to befriend Arthur Curry/Aquaman, as the ruler of modern day Atlantis is a benevolent king that is also concerned with helping the planet. Aquaman was intrigued to hear about the bond that Gamera's kind may develop with a human, moreso due to the fact that only this particular Gamera (and descendants/reincarnations of it by extension) was able to successfully bond with humans which allowed it to become stronger than the rest of his kind. Gamera is less inclined to work with Namor and Ocean Master, for obvious reasons.
  • The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were curious to hear about Gamera and his many adventures and were willing to become allies with Gamera after hearing of his heroic exploits and seeing the similarities that allies of theirs, Tokka and Chompy Picasso had. They are still a bit concerned that Gamera's lack of concern for collateral damage when fighting the Gyaos might bring trouble in the future for them and the good-aligned deities Pantheon.
    • Another good-aligned turtle who allied with Gamera was Oogway as the old turtle Kung Fu master's control of Chi and connection to nature through it allowed him to communicate with Gamera. He was pleasantly surprised to hear of Gamera's deep connection to lifeforms on Earth and the planet itself.
  • Because Gamera has fought against a handful of malicious aliens in the past, it didn't come as much of a surprise that he'd get into conflict against the kinds of evil aliens that were in the Pantheon. Most of these antagonistic aliens are as threatening as what Gamera had to go up against in the past, if not more so due to some of the allies and abilities that these aliens have.
    • Alien Empera was one of them, as the Emperor of Darkness desires to eradicate all light in the Universe, which not only would kill off most living beings but would also allow the Gyaos to grow unchecked and unopposed until they have ravaged all that exists. Gamera has been one of Empera's main foes for this reason, even becoming more of an ally to the Ultras in the Pantheon so as to combat the imminent threat that Empera and his forces bring. For similar reasons, he also loathes Ultraman Belial, as his plans to use the Gyaos for his own ends of either conquest or destruction Gamera opposes. Likewise, Yapool, whose energy is inherently harmful to all living beings with a soul, is another of these enemies as well, especially given the possibilities of him working with the Gyaos.
    • Among other aliens stood out the likes of invading forces like the Shroobs, the Daleks, the Tyranids and the Aparoids. Especially in the case of the Tyranids, whose ability to multiply when not controlled is reminiscent of the Gyaos' own self-reproduction abilities. Other evil aliens who stood out were the evil Kryptonians such as Zod who tried conquering Earth.
    • Phazon which is a space infection that destroys entire civilizations is another natural enemy of Gamera as it can potentially destroy Earth if it gets unleashed on it. As he can be considered a Universal plague on the level of Gyaos, Gamera seeks to destroy it completely. For similar reasons, he also opposes the Aparoids as they can infect lifeforms and technology, potentially letting them overrun entire galaxies in the long run, as well as their similarities with the Hive Mind aliens, Legion.
    • As he's tried to turn humanity into cattle for himself, Black Doom became a fierce enemy of Gamera, with Gamera seeking to stop the alien from advancing his goals further in the Pantheon. Other aliens with equally destructive goals who became enemies with Gamera were Evolt and Kilbus although they seeked to destroy Earth altogether isntead of consuming the populace and wrecking civilizations, they'll simply consume the energy necessary to strengthen themselves and then destroy the planet which made them great enemies of Gamera, especially Killbus with his Omnicidal Maniac tendencies.
  • As the guardian of the House of Childhood and Adolescence, Gamera has taken it upon himself to protect the children in it from harm. Recently, however, he's made an exception of sorts for Rhoda Penmark, who is a legitimately evil little girl, as such Gamera will only ocasionally protect her out of principle, but will no doubt not make an effort to save her if given an opening for it, Rhoda herself was quite frustrated to hear this as it meant that she could not rely on Gamera for protection. As well as a little girl named Maisie Farange, who is an orphan that has a fascination with turtles, Maisie herself was awed by Gamera and has decided to remain under his care, especially with the wide array of terrifying beasts and evils that inhabit the Pantheon.
  • He really isn't certain what to make of Bowser. On one hand, not only does the Koopa King partake in recreational activities alongside his frenemy Mario, he is a caring father towards his son, who could find the idea of a giant superpowered turtle intriguing. On the other hand, Bowser's attempts at conquest make him a potentially formidable foe for Gamera to fight against if Mario or his friends aren't around to stop Bowser. That said, he's recently thought up of foregoing these complicated thoughts due to the Gyaos' presence increasing his ruthless
  • He befriended Rose Quartz and Steven for having saved their Earth from being destroyed by the Gem Empire and other threats several times. Particularly Rose, who grew a deep connection to Earth and its inhabitants, likewise their allies such as Connie and the other Crystal Gems befriended the friendly young Toto who took a liking to them much more than Gamera did. On the other hand, he has a very tense relation with the Diamond Authority, who he has disdain for due to their actions nearly killing off life on their Universe's Earth, while for now he's ceased any hostility due to Rose's and Steven's words, he's clarified that he will eliminate the Diamonds mercilessly if they go back to their old ways, regardless of whether he alienates his allies or not.
  • As a protector of Earth and nature, other guardians (even those not as fond of humans) allied with Gamera over it, Gaea in particular was quick to provide Gamera with reserves of Mana drawn from Earth's power, for the sake of preventing an scenario where Gamera's energy runs out and he might need support in a fierce battle.
  • As he enjoys killing and eating children, Pennywise became another enemy of Gamera, in Pennywise's part the fact that Gamera reminds him of his old nemesis Maturin is another factor in their enmity. However Pennywise is rather afraid of facing the turtle Kaiju as he's found no fear which to exploit and his power means that he might be able to destroy him even if only temporarily, as such he's preferred to seek allies who can assist him against Gamera.
  • He also became allies with Ash Ketchum and his Pokemon, mainly due to Ash's many bonds with various legendary Pokemon and his heroic disposition. Likewise, that Ash respects the natural order of Earth and has fought many villains who wanted to upset it for their selfish goals made Gamera respect the Pokemon trainer. Toto himself found a lot of similarities between how Ash treats his Pokemon and how Toru treated him as a baby and as such befriended Ash as well.
  • It's possible for Gamera to get brainwashed and go on a rampage. Actually doing so is easier said than done, though a few evil aliens that are capable of brainwashing others were once willing to try and see if they could get Gamera under their control. Nowadays, few are willing to try given Gamera's role as one of the few beings keeping the Gyaos at bay and mind-controlling him would most likely end counterproductively unless the Gyaos are also somehow controlled.
  • Some of his early adventures were watched and ridiculed by Joel and the robots of the Satellite of Love. While Joel did admit that Gamera's first adventure wasn't that bad, a lot of the mocking came from Gamera's more ridiculous feats such as being a bit too acrobatic before attacking. Joel and the bots even made up a song set to the tune of Gamera's theme, though the giant turtle doesn't really care much about them to begin with as entertainment is irrelevant to his general goals and role as a guardian. Despite claims that the bots met Gamera in the flesh, it's more than likely it was just a random guy in space passing himself off as Gamera since the real thing was more than likely somewhere else.
    • To a much lesser extent, Elvira covered one of his later adventures during a hosting gig of hers. Weirdly enough, none of the Satellite of Love crew has stated that they watched it at any point, but if comments from others are any indication, they actually aren't sure if that particular adventure is worth the time to make fun of. Gamera himself doesn't really cares for this one instance as well and mostly ignores Elvira as much as he does to the Satellite of Love Crew
  • The two giant turtle Kaiju have recently entered an enmity with Eren Yeager as he's been found out to be now the true master and orchestrator of various titan-related events in his universe, and has turned to commit genocide on the entire human race... For the sake of the Eldians. While Gamera can understand the reasons behind Eren's actions, he does not condone what he does to get his points across, especially as the Titans are just like the Gyaos, as such Eren has become a kill-on-sight target for the Guardian of the Universe and its successor, Toto.

  • Supported by: Anthony "Tony" Stark/Iron Man
  • Supports: Charlie Nash
  • Ambiguous Situation: Juri Han, Nick Fury
  • Once the Goddess of Action Mothers, Viper was stripped of her title as her Action Mom status wasn't used often in her world. To compensate, she was given another title in the form of the Mysterious Woman, which in her opinion suited her better. Given how she first appeared as an enigmatic agent of some sort associated with the organization S.I.N., most would agree with this. The air of secrecy that comes with Viper's clandestine work has a sort of allure with male gods that she is well aware about and truly enjoys, hence her still operating in the shadoes to this day even though her true motives and allegiance have long been revealed.
    Viper: Secrets are what make us irresistible to men, don't you think?
  • Gets well along with Yoko Littner for many notable reasons.
  • The reality of her motives is that she's actually a CIA agent who was tasked to infiltrate S.I.N., or the Shadaloo Intimidation Network, in order to intercept information on their BLECE project. However, to protect her cover she had to actively impede the investigations of other agents such as Interpol's Chun-Li and Delta Red's Cammy. Nevertheless, once the truth came out including the fact that she was the one giving them anonymous tips, Chun-Li and the other Street Fighters accepted her to fight alongside her fellow Capcom deities as well as Marvel's greatest heroes during the crisis for the fate of the two worlds. That said, she does butt heads with both Chunners and Cammy about whose methods and techniques are better, and she had to do a fair bit of groveling for Ryu and Ken to forgive her actions to provoke their powers under Seth's orders before S.I.N.'s tournament. She also showed zero respect for Hakan after getting a look at him to try and recruit him, something he's not forgotten.
  • During the "fate of two worlds" crisis, she was complimented by Captain America, saying that S.H.I.E.L.D could use someone of her talents. Afterwards, Nick Fury, who seemed to be impressed with her skills, met up with Viper and offered her a chance to work as part of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, she and Hawkeye were later seen at odds, with Clint called her a "Black Widow knockoff" as well as hinting that S.H.I.E.L.D. ultimately did not go through with the offer. Her relationship to both him and Natasha has been tenuous at best since.
    Hawkeye: Take it up with Fury if S.H.I.E.L.D. rejected your application. Not me.
  • To clarify, Maya is the name she introduces herself to unsuspecting targets under, and though even friends of hers like Rashid will call her by that name, it has never been confirmed to be her real name. What is known to be real about her, though, is that she's a single mother in her twenties who makes it a point to pick her daughter Lauren up from school personally, sometimes right after missions, and is no fan of working overtime. As such, she doesn't relate to the other S.I.N. infiltrator very much, as Juri is on her own personal mission of revenge, has no living ties to come home to, and has allowed herself to be changed into a true monster. Viper secretly supported Chun-Li digging up information on the Spider while they were both undercover with S.I.N. Still, it's possible they might work together when it comes to children being abused by particularly vile parents, as Juri draws her line at hurting kids due to her own traumas and Viper despises evil parents with passion, something she made very clear in encounters with Sofia Lamb (warning her that any attempts to repeat her "Rapture Family" scheme in the Pantheon will lead to her being swiftly apprehended) and Jin Kazama (pledging her support to his Anti-Parental Abuse Club).
    • Actually, going by what Juri has since revealed to a student of the Street Fighter world, it is entirely likely that their seeming antipathy or ambivalence towards each other is a farce. Juri has stated that she and Viper apparently formed a partnership wherein they would both infiltrate, subvert, and sabotage organizations from within at the same time while pretending to oppose one another, both united by the thrill of destroying said organizations and coming away with lots of their money. At least one picture has been taken of them sitting on a pile of gold while the tycoon who once owned it cried about the loss. In fact, Juri has stated she fully expects Viper to betray the CIA before long.
  • Being a combat-trained field agent, her training regiment includes elements from various known fighting styles including judo and Krav Maga, but specialized in her case to make use of the "secret spy gadgets" afforded to her. According to records in the House of Prophecy and Fate, the technology she uses would serve as a basis in the creation of Captain Commando. Viper's super suit has also drawn the interest of Tony Stark, though, many think he is more interested in her. When told she's also a mother, he became even more interested.
  • Is said to have worked with Charlie Nash in the past. She stated in response that it was a different Maya, who works for the Royal Thai police. However, she's not against teaming up with Charlie in the future, and has done her research on him. This is just as well, given that they are both friends with Rashid. Viper is one of Rashid's social media buddies, using the screen name "effiepurpnight", and he has her on first-name... er, well, first-alias basis. Furthermore, she's also warned him about Shadaloo as well as gave him a mysterious object, AKA one of the key pieces F.A.N.G needed to activate the Black Moons, so she knew of his intent to get involved and search for his missing friend.
"I don't care about pride or ego. I'm just here to do my job."

  • Undyne ascended only because of Papyrus, as he had remained in contact with her even after his own ascension. He off-handedly mentioned how awesome it was to be a god and expressed doubt that she would ever get into the Pantheon. She did.
  • Undyne hardly ever spends time in her own temple, instead preferring to wander around the Pantheon trying to pick fights with the various deities regardless of their ranking, ability set, or even motivation. There are only a rare few who have seen her "Undying" form, however.
    • She is found mostly in the Houses of Combat and Weapons, in order to challenge and duel their respective residents with every ounce of her soul.
  • She was ecstatic when she met the various deities hailing from anime, as she had been told by her girlfriend and Frisk that anime wasn't real. She gushed over each and every single one she met....and then tried to fight them, as she is prone to do.
    Undyne: OH MY GOD! ANIME IS REAL! JUST WAIT UNTIL ALPHYS HEARS ABOUT THIS!
    • Various shonen anime protagonists (such as Goku, Ichigo, Luffy, Naruto, etc) are at the top of her friend list... though they're also rivals. They get along extremely well despite it, though. It helps that they share certain traits. Also, they care about their loved ones to the point of being willing to give their lives for them.
      • Reasons like this were why she joined Luffy and Ace in their new group, "The Brotherhood" as the team mom. More on that below.
    • That said, various shonen anime antagonists (such as Freeza, Cell, Aizen, etc) are enemies to her. She doesn't hold anything personal against them (heck, she was fine with trying to help her king achieve a goal similar to some of theirs), she simply opposes them out of necessity.
  • Like Sans before her, she holds a special animosity for those who murder others remorselessly. Especially those who harm children.
    • Of note is Dolores Umbridge. Undyne doesn't just dislike her due to her status as the most despicable deity, she absolutely abhors her for her willingness to inflict physical and mental trauma upon others regardless of their innocence.
    • This has caused some friction between her and Raiden, as while she feels sympathy for his tragic past and believes him to be a good person at heart, she despises his "Jack the Ripper" persona. Raiden has assured her that he can keep Jack under control, but Undyne is keeping her good eye on him all the same.
  • Undyne is on Pyrrha Nikos' good side for disregarding her celebrity status and taking her seriously as a fellow amazonian spear wielder/hurler. Although good friends, their rivalry is one of the fiercest - Pyrrha is exceptionally skilled and Undyne doesn't possess any metal (she long discarded her armor and her spears are made of solidified water) that can be manipulated. Additionally, Pyrrha has asked Undyne for relationship advice many times... which isn't any good. And when Undyne heard about Pyrrha's fate, she ran all the way to the House of Weapons to give her a hug.
  • She has gotten herself into countless competitions with Shirou Emiya, to see who can manifest and hurl more of their respective weapon. There is no clear winner, as both always tire out simultaneously. Every. Single. Time. They also have bonded through cooking, although Undyne isn't exactly the best cook.
    • Relevantly, Undyne is no longer allowed within 50 yards of the House of Food. Unlike Papyrus before her, when she was offered a chance to improve her skill at cooking...well, let's just say it took days to put the fires out.
  • Strangely enough, despite her personality, Undyne is unerringly hospitable to those who visit her whenever she's actually at her place. Even if she's not extremely fond of the person, she will treat them with the utmost respect until they leave.
    • Terumi has taken advantage of this countless times, inviting himself into her temple and messing with her sword collection (none are legendary or cursed, of course) countless times. She absolutely HATES him but will treat him well regardless. This has invariably earned her the favor of Zeus, who is absolutely impressed that such a volatile creature does justice to his oft-forgotten domain.
      • However, with the ascension of Alphys, she managed to finally get him off her back. The solution; challenging Undyne to cook the hottest meal ever for him. After Terumi's last visitation, fire now permanently resides in her temple, and even the coldest water users can't put it out. As such, Undyne has unofficially "moved" temples and is now bunking with Alphys. As she is her girlfriend, she really doesn't mind it, even saying she would've probably done that sooner if it meant moving in with her. Terumi is peeved as this means since Undyne isn't technically in her home, she can be as violent as she wants with him. Once more, Zeus is impressed with the lengths she went to in order to be freed from his trolling.
    It seems like only fire lives here now...
  • She has designated herself as Murky's older sister figure since meeting him, vowing to protect him and to help him fulfill his revenge (she's not outright against killing humans in general but will spare those who are innocent). This has also made her an odd friend in the form of Tidehunter.
  • Although she doesn't live in an aquatic or even oceanic environment, Undyne gets along strangely well with Aquaman and Rikuo. She considers them good friends, even if they don't share her boisterous tendencies. Papyrus thought the latter was a distant relative of hers.
  • She is known as "Undyne the Undying" in her powered up form. She has been compared to both Nagash the Undying and Undying due to this, but she is neither undead nor a skeleton (she knows them through the Bone Brothers, however).
  • Due to her granted title, she is compared to The Chosen Undead and The Bearer of the Curse. They... actually get along, strangely enough. Always up to taking on any challenge issued to them.
    • She has also been compared to Dragonslayer Ornstein by virtue of their respective suits of armor being nearly identical. Undyne still has hers but prefers not to wear it most of the time, though an aspect of it does appear on her when she's in her Undying form. She does see the resemblance but is only interested in his skill at slaying dragons.
  • Once she heard that Papyrus and Sans had joined the Brotherhood, she went straight up to Ace and Luffy, declared herself the Team Mom, and promised to kick the asses of anyone who tried to hurt them. They accepted her without a second thought.
  • Was overjoyed to finally convince Alphys to come into the Pantheon as well. She heralded her ascension with a tackle hug into the ground. The crater still exists to this very day where she tackle hugged her.
  • During a friendly soccer match the Human Child had with Steven Universe, she got acquainted with Pearl, one of the Crystal Gems. A few choice words regarding training resulted in an argument, and like anything with Undyne, a good old-fashioned fight. Frisk and Steven managed to stop the fight a minute before either could hey beaten up too badly, and for the kids' sakes they called off the fight and became friends.

  • At first glance, Bodhi may seem like a surfer who takes great enjoyment in riding on the sunny waves on the Los Angeles coasts and seems like a popular, cool dude. The truth is a lot more complicated; Bodhi is, in actuality, an extreme adrenaline junkie who cannot resist involving himself in multiple extreme situations for the sake of satisfying his curious zeal. Furthering this, his desire for extremity has led him to criminality, forming a gang of robbers known as the Ex-Presidents who wear suits and mask replicas of past United States presidents, with Bodhi going for Ronald Reagan, and pulling off a number of successful heists with his reasons being to get enough money to fund for his plans and endeavors as much as he does enjoy the thrill of getting into tense action. After one too many heists, an FBI Agent named Johnny Utah is sent to investigate him undercover, but what ends up is the two forming an Odd Friendship and Utah developing an interest in extreme sports, which makes the investigation even more complicated, especially when Utah manages to uncover the identities of the Ex-Presidents and give Bodhi an intense chase. Kidnapping Utah's love interest, Tyler, Bodhi blackmails him into committing a robbery with him, which ultimately goes wrong as one of the Ex-Presidents is killed in a shootout. Another chase ensures up until an airport where Utah's fellow FBI agent, Angelo Pappas, and most of the Ex-Presidents are killed, and Utah is wrung up high in a plane to be pinned the blame, though the agent manages to catch on and try to stop Bodhi from getting away with the money's he's robbed. Although he wins against his foe, Bodhi remains cordial with Utah, letting Tyler go before heading off. It isn't until nine months later when Utah and Bodhi encounter each other again in Australia, where the latter is overlooking the waves in a massive stormy weather, claiming to be anticipating the "50 Year Storm". After a brief scuffle and temporarily being handcuffed, Bodhi convinces Utah to let him go as he wants to involve himself in a "once in an opportunity" lifetime, not caring about whether he would die. Utah lets him go, knowing that Bodhi would rather die than allow himself captured and he seemingly spends his last moments riding into a gigantic tidal wave that eventually consumes him within the sights of Utah, the FBI, and the Australian Police.
  • Whatever happened to Bodhi is up to anyone's guess. Did he die being consumed by the waves of the "50-Year Storm"? Or did he ride it out alive, but was captured by Australian authorities as soon as he touched the shore? So far, it doesn't really matter much, as the man would ultimately surface in a strange and unfamiliar realm and realize he was now a "God" in here. Bodhi felt curious about the whole thing, causing him to wander around the Pantheon for a little bit before he realized that he was representing the archetype of being an adrenaline junkie, and this information ended up making him particularly giddy as it made him feel earned and important. That said, there was one bummer in that his story before ended as a fugitive and criminal, meaning he's still going to be seen as one in the Pantheon and he's likely going to need support and aid. If he's the god of Thrill Seekers, then he feels that he deserves a life where he feels free and able to do whatever he wants and would entertain the idea of having a group of like-minded individuals to hang around with in these divine lands. And finally, the Pantheon has given him several grand and daring opportunities that he really doesn't want to miss.
  • As his main representation suggests, Bodhi is mainly identified by his addictive desire to be in the most extreme moment possible and to relish all of the thrills that come with it. He'll do anything to afford the luxury of such and isn't above being a showoff in his performances, though he's a witty and charming man, enough to win loyalty and respect from a number of people. His desires are such that he became a bank robber, which was to also partially gain enough profit to keep up with the best gear possible and to find out about different locales to explore and perform death-defying stunts in. Of course, he's developed a philosophy that he should live out his life in whatever way he feels like it and that society and the standards of others shouldn't deter and hamper his desires. Because of his way of life, he's earned the approval of a version of Lucifer as his beliefs about humans needing to pursue their passions however they like is quite relatable to Bodhi's, but regardless of whether he knows the deity or not, he has no interest in Grand United Alliances and if he needs allies and friends, he'll try to find them himself or they'll probably come to him. Due to his criminal actions being exposed, he frequents the House of Crime and Transgressions a lot, though he's one of the more "morally upstanding" deities there as despite his villainy, he's not comfortable being called a villain, is more interested in chasing thrills, and generally avoids murder however way he could.
  • If his position in the Pantheon is of any indication, Bodhi is more than eager to get himself in whatever high-octane events he could participate him. That said, he doesn't mind dying as it means they can be a lot more intense and risky and thus, a more enjoyable experience, but the fact that the Pantheon has a rule of deceased deities being resurrected sometime after their deaths annoys Bodhi somewhat. Beyond that, he felt worried that he may not find many to whom he could relate, that is until he stumbled across Carmen Sandiego, a world-renowned thief who commits some of the most daring and challenging heists all to satisfy her sense of adventure and thrill. Her reputation and feats were something impressed Bodhi, even admitting why he didn't fall for her sooner. Despite being criminals, Bodhi and Carmen were able to remain civil with each other and the latter could understand the former's desire to get involved in death-defying stunts but makes the difference in that she is not a violent criminal, unlike Bodhi, as even with his refusal to kill, he does endanger the lives of those who happen to be in a bank that he's robbing in, a point that Bodhi conceded on. Despite their differing alignments, Bodhi still holds a measure of respect for Carmen and makes it a point to further his thrills, which is something that Carmen is uneasy about as Bodhi would likely be endangering others and himself more on doing so.
  • Aside from his criminal history, Bodhi is most well known as a persistent competitor and participant in extreme sports, especially surfing and skydiving. After all, he was very eager to introduce Utah to those activities and even get to genuinely admire and become a fan of them, despite the fact that Utah was supposed to be investing and pretending to be an enthusiast, giving the impression that Bodhi is capable of being a great teacher and advisor in his interests. Unfortunately, given his now exposed criminal history, getting into the House of Sports without arousing suspicions would be really hard for him to do and while there are beaches in the House of Crime and Transgressions, the waters are not as excitable or naturally dangerous, which personally bums him out as that's where he usually stays as a way to avoid law enforcement. He has a bit more in the House of Nature surprisingly and entertains the idea of getting to ride in waves perpetrated by legendary sea monsters and mythical beings like Poseidon and even if he's told that such a thing would be suicidal, Bodhi exclaims that he knows that, but the thrill of such an experience is something he couldn't ignore. Nice as he may be, he's not winning points with surfer enthusiasts like Renton Thurston and Eureka, who feel that Bodhi is too destructive in his life goals and passion. For the moment, it seems Bodhi would need a new mask to blend in better, but finding new waves and beaches is becoming slowly more manageable and he plans to set up a few places to skydive in the Pantheon. Nothing is going to stop him from whatever thrill rides and experiences he wants to take part in.
  • Given his confrontation with the FBI, Bodhi is a wanted target by the House of Law and Justice, especially given he killed an undercover police officer in a robbery that went wrong on his end and would even claim that it was self-defense on his end. He also feels that his Ronald Reagan mask may not be enough and he would have to use other means to conceal his identity, much to his stress and annoyance. He tends to be very wary of undercover cops in general, such as Wei Shen, Gracie Archer, and Bob Arctor, and the fact that the latter looks like a grizzled, aged Johnny Utah actually freaks him out a bit and he does whatever he can to avoid Arctor, even if the other cops may prove just as, if not more dangerous. On the other hand, Arctor, being more focused on tackling drugs and their victims, which ironically includes himself, means he's not too focused on investing in targeting Bodhi for now, with Shen and Archer being more frequent adversaries for him to deal with.
  • Somehow, he ended up getting involved with another bunch of robbers who personally put their heists as their main job and intend on escalating such in the hopes of achieving "the next big score". Being in their company is a very entertaining service, but there is a deviation in that, aside from his aversion to killing unless backed into a corner, Bodhi prefers to finish his robberies as quickly as they can. This has created some tension between Bodhi and the crew as the latter's insistency on grand heists means they would have to kill as many cops as they can to complete their objectives and while they do acknowledge Bodhi's talents, they think he needs to "man up", especially when he has killed a cop when the going got tough for him, hence they only really tend to work effectively in smaller heists.
    • With other bank robbers, Bodhi found good camaraderie with Franklin Clinton and Michael DeSanta as they found that they shared a habit of enjoying their work as well as having a strong sense of looking out for their partners. It's to the point where Bodhi is almost an honorary member to them, with the "almost" coming from Trevor Phillips, whom Bodhi came to become a little uneasy and difficult to be around, considering Trevor's psychotic behavior, a tendency to flip out on small provocations and being open to the idea of killing, unlike Franklin and Michael who generally would prefer to keep casualties as minimum as possible and would understand Bodhi's insecurity about having fatalities due to their actions. That said, Bodhi and Trevor do have a few things in common, namely being open for a cheap thrill and expressing strong loyalty for their friends, something the latter respected about the former, even if Bodhi's issues with Trevor remain. Even with his distaste for killing aside, Bodhi has earned the respect of fellow robbers like the Bonanza Brothers, Tony, Jo, Mario, and César, and has made a few bank robbing collaborations with the surfer. Even Captain Cold has a measure of appreciation for Bodhi and considers him a "good professional" in his field, even if their differing priorities mean the two don't meet up that much, not to mention Bodhi admitting that dealing with superheroes might be a bit too much for him to handle.
  • While a notorious bank robber and a huge thrill seeker, Bodhi is very hesitant about the idea of killing others and would panic if he is ever bought into a lethal situation. As a result, it's his henchmen who take it upon themselves to kill targets, but even then, this is only for last resort if any plans of handling things as non-lethally as possible have run out. Not to mention that not killing anyone is a major reason why his robberies were so successful, alongside his quick wit, thinking, and tendency to finish things quickly and without leaving too many clues about their identities. His nature as a pragmatic criminal is something he shares with a hitman who is only known as Vincent, who respects Bodhi's wits and nature to get things done effectively to the point where he considered working with him a few times. However, their partnership is tenuous; while both are ruthless, Bodhi heavily priorities the safety of his gang as much as he does on the task, in addition to not trying to kill anyone, while Vincent couldn't care less about morality and lives and his criminal partners may as well be stepping stones for his own goals. Regardless, Vincent still respects Bodhi's determination and ability to plan things well enough but would admit that his interest in surfing and extreme sports is boring and that they're better off as work acquaintances.
  • Although he's not going to change his ways anytime soon, there is some pity to be had for Bodhi, considering his fair share of virtues and his main goal and motivations, traumatizing and thrilling violence aside, not being too different from that of an average person's. Most police officers are obviously going to want to arrest him due to the crimes he's committed, but there are a few who are sympathetic to him as he is admittedly hurt by his friends' deaths and feels that he doesn't have much support and to live for once he's outed as a criminal. If he had to be honest, he'd rather not be living in a Vice City in the Pantheon and would just get a place to live in the Hall of Water and Moisture instead, feeling that the seas and oceans are the best metaphorical interpretations of freedom and endless possibilities.
  • While Johnny Utah was yet to be in the Pantheon during Bodhi's ascension, he does admit that his story is defined by their relationship and that while they were sworn enemies, Bodhi really did come to like Utah to the point where he tried to rope him into his criminal actions and lifestyle, even after learning that Utah was an undercover FBI Agent who was sent under the guise of being a surfer enthusiast, even if Utah would genuinely come to enjoy it himself. In fact, Bodhi would have really wanted Utah to be his herald but sulks at the fact that this was never going to happen and would have to wait until Utah ascends for real. This dynamic is similar to that of Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley, an LAPD cop and an ex-military-turned-bank robber respectively who came to a sort of understanding and relatability for one another in spite of their professions putting them at odds. Bodhi was interested in learning about Hanna and McCauley's tale to the point where he would approach the latter and be invested in hearing how he's been held back by personal matters, especially his family, which was something that he and Hanna bonded over. McCauley admits that a desire for freedom is something he would very much like and this allowed him to bond with Bodhi, and it helps that the two like to be very careful and considerate about how they plan their heists, wanting to minimize casualties, and showing a great deal of care for their henchmen. Although this meant Bodhi would be in opposition against Hanna, the former simply saw the latter as a good challenge, though would rather avoid any confrontation against the cop as he really doesn't want to kill him.
  • If there's a death-defying stunt that could be performed, Bodhi will take his chances without hesitation. This is one of the reasons he's a bank robber; being an acclaimed surfer isn't going to net him enough money, as much as he enjoys riding the waves, and he needs enough to fund his personal endeavors and plans, which is easier said than done. Once, he decided to do a tightrope walk in-between two skyscrapers in the House of Crime and Transgressions without any support. He accomplished that and then took it a step further by deciding to skydive close to an active volcano in the Hall of Fire and Heat, proclaiming how wild it would be to land close to a lake of lava. Even more, upon learning about the Silver Surfer, Bodhi was admittedly ecstatic about the idea of riding a board in space and would be more than willing to get something like a "spaceboard" with which he could surf about in the cosmos. Needless to say, Bodhi enjoys each and every minute of it, but his crewmates do express some concern for their leader, knowing that because of his tendency to risk his life, what if he really does lose it? Bodhi claims that even in death, he'll want to ensure his influence remains in some way. He's glad that the Pantheon has given him a seemingly endless supply of thrills after all.
"Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master?"

    Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck 
Drake Mallard, The God Who Knows When to Get Dangerous (Darkwing Duck, D.W., Dark, The Terror That Flaps in the Night, Darkwing Dork, Dorkwing, [insert a nickname from his Mad Libs Catchphrase here])

  • Annoyed By: Johnny Turbo
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with: Kent Allard
  • In the city of St. Canard, there lives single father Drake Mallard, alongside best friend Launchpad McQuack and adopted daughter Gosalyn Mallard. Since that city is often overrun by crime via a diverse selection of villains, it's up to Drake to clean up crime as the masked hero, Darkwing Duck. Initially, he doesn't appear to be that competent given how much of an ego he has expecting fame of any sort, but if something becomes dire all of a sudden (like Gosalyn being in danger), then Darkwing is more than willing to "get dangerous" to prove his worth as a hero and beat up the bad guys.
  • Some villains were running around causing chaos in the Pantheon. Those villains aren't incompetent, but they aren't extreme threats compared to some other evildoers. A duck made his entrance, announcing himself to be Darkwing Duck, in front of the criminals and after some difficulty, he was able to defeat them after declaring "Let's get dangerous!" While Darkwing wasn't pleased with the fact that there wasn't much attention to the incident and how he stopped the thugs, he decided to continue to stop evildoers from causing trouble after learning about just how much trouble there could be with the variety of bad guys around.
  • At one point, he ended up in a world inhabited entirely by humans (or as he put it, "hideous beakless mutants"). Considering that the Pantheon is inhabited by a number of humans in addition to ducks and other beings, it took Darkwing a bit of time after arriving there to get accustomed to humans, though he's learned to at least accept some of them.
  • Even though Darkwing lived in a world that was different from where Scrooge McDuck and Donald's nephews had their adventures, the only thing that they had in common (aside from being adventurous ducks) was that they had a pilot named Launchpad McQuack helping them out on their journeys. Mr. McDuck found Darkwing to be a bit on the weird side, but placed his trust on him in making sure things are fine.
  • Many deities have compared him to Batman. The Caped Crusader has taken an interest in Darkwing for obvious reasons.
    • On the other hand, Kent Allard is not that impressed with him, citing the duck's desire for fame and his foolish tendencies as getting in the way of Darkwing being a truly effective crime-fighter.
  • Has sometimes ended up working with a hero called "Paperinik"... not realizing that "Paperinik" is actually Donald Duck in a superhero disguise.
  • A number of times, Darkwing has expected to get a lot of positive attention but to not much success, something that annoys him a bit. Regardless, he doesn't like a lot of villains that turned to evil due to reasons relating to attention (or sometimes the lack thereof) and has made it a point not to end up like them. It also applies to bad guys who want fame for themselves.
    • The duck does get along with Spider-Man since they had to deal with a lot of bad press despite their experience in cutting down crime, though Spidey has told Darkwing to not get too hungry for fame. Weirdly enough, Darkwing once managed to gain spider-like powers for a short period of time despite it causing some problems for him.
  • While crimefighting is his primary occupation, he has done some detective work in order to get closer to a crime and then fight against it once everything has been figured out. Of detectives that he works fine with (in addition to Batman obviously), Shinnosuke Tomari is one of them due to a similar tendency to get serious at the right moment (Tomari is less of an egotist and more of a goofball whenever things are normal though).
  • It doesn't happen often, but Darkwing will sometimes find himself with some sort of superpower (such as the aforementioned spider-abilities) whenever he is trying to catch a certain bad guy. Predictably, these "power-ups" don't last long and disappear once Darkwing's work is done for the time being.
  • One of the easiest ways to get on his bad side (and thus make him an actually competent crimefighter) is to put his daughter Gosalyn in harm's way. It's Darkwing's dedication to keeping his daughter safe that earned him the goodwill of other deities that take great offense at harming a family member. And with her now in the Pantheon (the same House that he's in, to boot), he's gotten even more determined to keep her safe.
    • To get that point across, Darkwing has opposed those who are terrible parents to their children. One of the deities that he hates the most is Norman Osborn as not only is Norman a horrible parent, but he is just as bad, if not worse, as the supervillain known as the Green Goblin.
  • Like many other heroes, he has gotten into conflict against an evil version of himself. Two of them, in fact. Both named Negaduck for some reason. One was an Enemy Without created when Darkwing's personality was split into good and evil halves, and the other was his counterpart from a Mirror Universe where everyone good is evil and vice-versa. The latter became a recurring threat to Darkwing since after conquering his own universe he had his sights set on conquering Darkwing's. Darkwing found out about a lot of those kinds of deities and he definitely wasn't happy with how they reminded him of either Negaduck or how they could be potentially worse than those villains.
    • And then there's Darkwarrior Duck, a Bad Future version of Darkwing that lost his daughter and became a ruthless dictator as a result, enforcing death as punishment for even the most minor of "crimes". It's very obvious that Darkwing doesn't want to go down that path; moreso after learning about, through the Dark Knight, a version of Superman that became corrupted by the loss of someone he cared about. Even if Regime Superman is from an alternate universe and Darkwarrior is from an alternate future, a corrupted hero is still a corrupted hero, as Batman said to Darkwing.
    • Bernkastel is one of the deities that Darkwing despises fully, not only for being a sort of Enemy Without of an existing girl, but her trollish tendencies have gotten on Darkwing's nerves quite a bit. Her willingness to psychologically torment children made him infuriated, as he doesn't want Gosalyn to go through even worse trouble than before.
  • Darkwing has essentially given himself a lot of nicknames due to his Badass Boast. That list of self-given nicknames is only going to get larger thanks to him thinking up of more introductions to the also-increasing number of evildoers he'll have to confront.
  • He decided to try and write a comic book about his adventures, but ended up getting a lot of unwanted help from others, resulting in his comic book being a disaster when he sent it for review. It's possible that he tried getting a movie about himself made, but that likely ended in failure as well.
  • Whenever he isn't fighting crime, there is a decent chance that Drake will tell Huey, Dewey, & Louie about his exploits as Darkwing Duck. That said, he never directly tells them that he is Darkwing, in keeping with the secret identity shtick.
  • He unwittingly earned the ire of former NEC mascot Johnny Turbo due to a particularly bad game adaptation starring him on the Turbografx 16. But since he hasn't attempted to physically confront him on it so far (merely resorting to petty and extremely transparent slander about how he's a closet agent of Sega on the internet), Darkwing doesn't consider him a real foe, but merely a pitiful nuisance. Darkwing has a much better relationship with The Angry Video Game Nerd, who also played the terrible Turbografx 16 game, but unlike Johnny he blames the developers and not DW for its awfulness since he has also played a Darkwing Duck game done right. However, DW would really like the Nerd to stop deliberately mispronouncing his catchphrase of "Suck gas, evildoers!" as something decidedly less family-friendly.
  • In one universe it's said that he does not actually exist, but is instead a TV show character played by actor Jim Starling. The Launchpad of that universe happens to be a huge fan of said show. Time will tell if that Darkwing turns out to be Real After All, though. Eventually, another actor by the name of Drake Mallard, who was due to star in a Darkwing Duck Franchise Reboot movie and was himself a fan of the show, would become that universe's Darkwing Duck for real after the movie's cancellation put him out of work. Jim Starling, meanwhile, after going ballistic over the movie casting someone other than him to play DW and trying to take over the role for himself, culminating in a fight against Mallard that destroyed the set and caused said cancellation, would become that universe's Negaduck.
  • I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the winged scourge that pecks at your nightmares! I am Darkwing Duck!

  • Rivals (one-sided): Courage (Stupid dog!), Fix-It Felix, Jr., the Farmer
  • Enemies: Archie Bunker
  • Special Relations: Muriel Bagge (his wife)
  • Eustace ascended after the incident at Klub Katz, and the events leading up to it. He did not want to stop sitting in his chair, not even for a vacation. So Eustace brought the chair with him onto the cruise ship (to say nothing of when a tidal wave then sent him flying). Later, he was unwillingly turned into a wrecking ball and went on a destructive Roaring Rampage of Revenge when he noticed Katz (the establishment's manager) sitting in his chair. With such utter devotion to his chair, Eustace ascended not long after.
    • Of course, the chair was brought along with him.
  • His (wife's) dog, Courage, was not especially happy about Eustace's ascension. But without Muriel in the Pantheon, the two have little reason to be near each other, so they don't cross paths.
  • Eustace prefers not to be approached by anyone else in the Pantheon, or he'll pull out his crazy monster mask and go, "OOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA!"
  • Since Muriel can't always make dinner for him, due to living in different Houses, Eustace has taken to going to the House of Food every night. One night though, he went to Greed's Bad Guy Bar (built into his temple), and the two got to talking. Eustace appreciates Greed's, well, greed and the two have formed a friendship.
  • Has also formed a friendship with the Janitor. The two fondly share stories of the times they've messed with people they didn't like.
  • Despite being equally devoted to their designated seats, Eustace and Sheldon Cooper do not get along. Given their personalities, that was to be expected.
  • Eustace fancies himself a handyman who can fix anything in the Pantheon if it breaks. But he's actually not as skilled as he boasts. This is a genuine sore spot for him, and makes him intensely jealous of Fix-It Felix, Jr. Similar jealousy also puts the Farmer on Eustace's blacklist.
    • Equally spirit-crushing for him is when he's reminded of his brother's hunting abilities. In a fit of random jealousy, Eustace grabbed a gun and went on a rampage in the House of Beasts and Fauna to try to bag the biggest animal he could find (to the tune of "In the Hall of the Mountain King"). Luckily, no one was hurt (except for Eustace). He's not allowed back.
  • Eustace has been killed or otherwise severely hurt on numerous occasions since ascending, though after an amount of time equal to one commercial break, he automatically restores to his normal state. He's been likened to Kenny for this reason.
  • Many gods were interested with how Archie would interact with Eustace. Turns out the two loathed each other. A verbal bout to determine who had the better chair exploded into a shouting match, accumulating in the two walking away in anger. Archie would later say that not even he would put Courage through that much abuse.

  • On Neutral Terms with: Applejack
  • Odd Friendship with: Nena Trinity and Merlina the Wizard
  • Grace Monroe was once a Lonely Rich Kid who only wanted her parents' love. So she decided the best way to do so was by shoplifting. It failed as her parents tried to hide their daughters' crimes under the rug else ruin their reputation. Despondent, Grace was suddenly whisked away by a carriage complete with a red carpet onto the Infinity Train, where she would meet up with a strange monster with a massive green number, save a boy wearing socks and sandals from a giant cockroach, and bluff her way of stating she's a total expert on how to survive the Train, creating the cult known as the Apex — a group of chidren who ransacked cars and injured/killed innocent denizens in order to survive. All because she wanted to deny that she had no idea what the hell any of them were supposed to be doing.
    • Things changed when one day, in a raid in a car full of turtles, something caused the car she and the Apex were in to move on its own. She and Simon were thrown back to another car where they met with a girl named Hazel and her gorilla denizen partner Tuba. Noticing that Hazel's number was broken — it wasn't glowing like other numbers did — the two decided to have her join the Apex in order to get the numbers game to throw Tuba into the wheels. However, unlike Simon, Grace slowly learned to care for Hazel, and after more and more revelations arrived, Grace had to admit that her communication skills caused more problems than good, leaving her to pick up the pieces of everything she did in the slimmest chance she and the Apex would finally leave.
  • Grace spent a year or so working on getting every member of the Apex's number to 0, seeing them off with a bittersweet farewell until she was left with her origami partner. The last thing that was on her mind was how she would face her parents; it had been more than a decade since she saw them last, and they most likely forgot about her or would still be the same neglectful/abusive parents they were previously. After thinking of it, Grace ultimately had to accept that it's pointless to get their attention and that she must work on herself from now on. This finally made her number reach 0 and a door opened for her...but instead of it leading to her house (which meant her origami partner couldn't follow her per Train rules), she ended up in the Gates of the Pantheon. The Court of the Gods were waiting until she was finally free of the Train before bringing her in, since she was the best represented of "blind leading the blind". Grace initially wanted nothing to do with the god business since this is the entire reason she screwed up so many people's lives, but decided that if this will make others learn to not make the mistakes she did, and also because she wanted to be far away from her parents, she accepted. And as a token of faith, her origami bird partner was allowed as a herald.
    • One of the first deities Grace met with was Kubo, who was capable of manipulating origami. Kubo questioned how Grace's origami friend was alive to which Grace had an awkward talk about how she visited a Train that had strange denizens that came alive. She pitied Kubo because his past made hers look completely tame — lost his eye to his grandfather, his dad died to his aunts, and his mom is in a catatonic state with brain damage. Kubo has also taken the time to tell Grace that he will send some origami birds to protect her since she will always have a target on her back. Grace was thankful that someone like him was kind enough to even care for her well-being.
  • Grace was shocked to learn that Simon was alive in the Pantheon. Unfortunately, being in the Pantheon just made him worse as he plans to make sure the "Void" pays one way or another. Grace was only saved when Simon was punched and then bashed across the head with a pipe...and the one who punched him glared since that was Lake, who was not happy to find the Apex leader ascended. And the one with the pipe was Tulip Olsen, whom Lake was the reflection of. Grace was then given a thorough tongue lashing by Lake, stating in no certain terms that Lake will not forgive her for trying to wheel her and Alan Dracula and then trying to sic the Mirror Cops on her. Tulip was also furious as well, especially when she learned that Grace invaded the Unfinished Car (full of delegates from the Corgi Car) but she could see that Grace wouldn't have known better and is moving on. Although, Lake was surprised about one thing.
    Lake: Kinda amazed you went so long without the instruction videos.
    Tulip/Grace: What instruction videos?
    Lake: Y'know, the videos that explain what the hell you're supposed to do? (beat) You honestly didn't bother to look for one?
    • Grace's relationship with Tulip was more complicated when she learned how Tulip is the one who placed One-One back as the true Conductor and made Amelia change her ways and that Tulip decided to ask questions and use logic then lie about the truth. While Tulip still promises to be supportive, Grace has asked that Tulip steps away for now as she comes to grip with her mistakes.
  • Since Grace has at most a 4th grade education due to her extended trip on the Train, she has been ordered to take remedial lessons in the Elysium Academy to make up for it. Naturally, many students are wary of her due to her reputation for corrupting children and never feeling sorry for it, and the fact that she's actually killed numerous denizens without a shred of sympathy. Grace was ready to accept her fate of being alone...until she met up with Gentaro Kisaragi, who decided that he'll be her friend so that way she wouldn't be alone anymore.
    Grace: But why me? I've killed others! I lied and brainwashed kids for years. Why would someone like you be my friend?
    Gentaro: I befriended the guy who wanted to use me as a shield, the guy who killed me to bring his friend back, and the principal of my school who killed my friend out of jealousy. And the way I see it, you're pretty remorseful for what you've done, right?
    • Grace then met with Gentaro's friends who also accepted that she's willing to work on herself. They invited her to have some time on the moon so she can have a heart-to-heart with Gentaro, before cementing it with his handshake. The Friendship and Camaraderie house is willing to accept her with open arms, and Grace has slowly gained allies. One of them being Magolor, who betrayed Kirby to obtain ultimate power but turned a new leaf. She also admitted that she was jealous of Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, Marcy Wu — despite everything the three went through, they were able to open their eyes, change themselves, and then made up. Grace questioned if things were different, Simon wouldn't have died...but bitterly notes that she can't do anything about it now, and she and Simon can never be friends again.
  • Ended up bonding with Asuka Langley Soryuu due to how they both suffered from having abusive parents and hide their insecurities with a haughty mask, although Grace is a bit disturbed with how abusive Asuka could be towards Shinji as not even she would lash out at Simon like that. Grace considered herself lucky that her mind wasn't defiled as badly as Asuka was by Arael, leaving the Eva Pilot a catatonic wreck since her worth was tied to how good she was in fighting the Angels. Unfortunately, Grace was unexpectedly caught in one of Arael's heavenly beams and began screaming in agony over how Arael tried to pry her mind over what made her want to kill denizens for the sake of it and forced her to recall every single victim she killed/mutilated in a never-ending loop until help arrived. It was during her time in the House of Medicine that she met with Shinji Ikari, and the two bonded over their painful pasts and how they obtained the strength to face their traumas head on instead of running away.
  • Grace is unsure whether to pity Sara Berry or not. On one hand, Sara was pressured to become Prom Queen under her abusive father's thumb, pushed everyone she loved aside and then snapped by killing six innocent girls who didn't know better. On the other hand, Grace had to remind herself that she was much worse than Sara because Sara didn't corrupt others to do what she said and her kill tally was less than Grace's overall. At least Grace has no intention on being Prom Queen, which means Sara is aloof at best to her. Grace did bond with Pacifica Northwest and Carrie White though, since they also dealt with abusive parents who treated them much worse than Grace's parents being neglectful.
  • Many Train deities have banned her from their temples, given the chaos she enacted on the last one she was in. Most notably, Ryotaro Nogami and the Pterandon family want nothing to do with her. After all, they deal with time traveling trains, so what are the chances she does something stupid and rewinds time and makes things worse? Grace accepted that her reputation has pretty much made deities look down at her and it'll take a long time, if ever, for others to see she's not the "total expert on the Train" as before. She's also been banned from the Hall of Primates and many turtle deities want nothing to do with her given the incident with Tuba and Hazel. That said, she's disgusted by the likes of Atriox, Gorilla Grood and Mojo Jojo so that's a blessing in her book.
  • Due to her reputation, she ended up having a kinship with Nena Trinity and Merilna the Wizard since she functions somewhere in the middle. She is just as atrocious as Simon Laurent, if not so, because she's the one who put it into numerous children's heads to kill all denizens without remorse. But she's also innocent because Simon's Sanity Slippage and refusal to change was all on him and she does not owe him anything. She is disgusted with Nena killing off wedding-goers out of boredom, but also finds that Nena is a saint compared to her brother. She sympathizes with Merlina with wanting her kingdom to last longer because Grace only did what she could cause she had no idea what to do on the Train but also notes that Merlina was being somewhat selfish in her goals. The two like how she's someone who is both sympathetic and also stern with how she thinks of them, giving her some comfort that she's not the most polarizing goddess in the Pantheon.
  • One of Grace's talents is that she's a really talented dancer, as her parents pushed her to learn many different styles. The Hall of Dance have welcomed her to perform there if she needs alone time or if she still needs to work out some issues after leaving the Train. She was practicing some old ballet movements when she bumped into another ballerina, Nina Sayers. Nina nearly went into a meltdown and slammed Grace into a mirror, but Grace quickly stated she meant no harm before the two had a talk over their experiences in regards to abusive parents pushing them into being dancers with the major difference being Nina's mother was smothering, Grace's parents neglectful and never bothered to show during a performance. They gave each other comfort over how they finally moved forward from their parents' expectations and neglect and vowed to perform a show together in the future. Nina smiled and said that it'll be "Perfect". Another dancer whom Grace befriended was the Street Fighter, Elena, who acts like a total opposite of Grace: while both travel, Elena wishes to seek out friends whereas Grace wanted followers. Grace was also surprised that someone as cheery as Elena would accept being her friend.
    Elena: Did you not hear what Gentaro said? You are working on yourself, and your rhythm is one of atonemen. Why shouldn't I befriend you.
    Grace: You get along well with Gentaro, huh? Are you —
    Elena: Nope, Just Friends. Thanks for asking, though.
  • As her acting out and stealing a cheap bracelet was caused by loneliness, Grace has found common ground with other Lonely Rich Kid deities. She felt jealous of Nanjo over how he had someone act as a parental substitute in his butler since Grace had constant hired help that she only remembers them as a bunch of clothes. Meanwhile, she understood Adrien's position in being pushed to be a little perfect doll by their parents when it came to being a fashion model while she was to become a dancer but is at least she's glad that Adrien's bodyguard, The Gorilla, has slowly warmed up to being his Parental Substitute.
    • When it came to people who were transported to a new world who ended up botching things to a misunderstanding of what they were meant to do, she found solace with the Three Heroes and Subaru Natsuki. They all thought they were living their best fantasy lives only for reality and the world they got trapped in recognizing how selfish they were and strived to become better.
  • Avoids the House of Slaughter because it brings back bad memories of the person she used to be, killing denizens by pushing them onto the wheels of the Infinity Train without a shred of remorse. More specifically, she avoids The Jigsaw Killer, who would put her into a Death Trap so that she would learn to value her life and to understand the pain she inflicted onto other denizens. She's already gone through a horrific experience of being kicked onto the Train's wheels, thank you very much. She also cringed when she heard of Legolas and Gimli having a Body-Count Competition, as it made her recall all the "games" she and Simon used to play with the lives of denizens.
  • As someone who had neglectful parents, Grace hates every abusive parent in the Pantheon as she's come to realize that her parents not arriving for a ballet recital is relatively tame to those who throw people into volcanoes or burn their faces. Thankfully, there are just as many good parents as there are bad which made Grace break down in how stupid she was; if she had another adult figure who told her right from wrong, how much good could she have done? Thankfully, one turtle by the name of Master Oogway has shown pity on her and allows her to listen to his sermons to find inner peace.
  • Despises Emperor Belos from the bottom of her heart as she's basically everything she was times infinity. And worse, Simon supports his rhetoric to destroy everything non-human. Belos looks down on this "Void" for many reasons — being female and her racial status being the biggest ones — and states that a foolish girl playing pretend has no place in his coven. She also hates those who use mind control like Queen Chrysalis and the Pied Piper, the former for how she "feeds" off of others' love even though the Changelings get stronger by sharing it and she hates the latter finds whisking every single child away from their parents as unfair since she technically prevented the Apex from changing just to amuse her desires of idolization and love.
  • Naturally as someone who lied her ass off to make herself appear as the greatest, Grace hates liars and those who twist the truth to satisfy themselves. She loathes Svengali who actively brainwashed an innocent singer in order to gain recognition from her. Svengali brushed off the claims cause what she did is exactly the same — brainwashing children to kill denizens and not give a damn about them. She also hates Sun Li for knowingly sabotaging his students while Grace honestly (somewhat) taught the Apex how to defend themselves. She also loathes Turbo for trying to usurp Vanellope von Schweetz as the true ruler of Sugar Rush but then came to realize that she's also a hypocrite with a point; sure what she did to survive was horrible, but not only was the Train dangerous but it kidnapped children without giving an explanation as to what the hell they had to do and why they were trapped in the first place.
  • Grace was given a warning by Tulip to avoid Claire Stanfield if possible. When asked why, Tulip gave the rundown that he took his role as a conductor very seriously, and was also known to be very gruesome in torturing people, once slamming someone's head across the train tracks while the train was moving, reducing the face to raw hamburger. Grace immediately got the hint that he was more dangerous than her and dreaded the day he arrived at her doorstep...to have a chat. While he's miffed that Grace did cause plenty of harm to the denizens on the Train, he can see that she is remorseful and didn't deserve death by giant wheels. However, Claire isn't as courteous to her as she was with Tulip, stating that the next time Grace does something reckless, she'll be bathed in her own blood.
    • Lake also gave her own warnings to avoid Pyramid Head, the executioner. A symbol of guilt of murdering people, if his sights are on Grace, she's as good as dead. Grace thought that a monster with a pyramid for a head was nothing to be afraid of...until she heard the scraping sounds of Pyramid Head's Great Knife and suddenly found herself skewered by the beast then waking up in her Temple, all while Lake smugly replied,
    Lake: I Warned You, didn't I?
  • Surprisingly, Grace ended up befriending Mae Borowski. While Grace was initially weirded out by Mae being a cat, given the last cat who completely ruined everything, Grace understands how Mae is struggling with the concept of growing up in a dying town but still wants to keep living so that she could tell herself she is awesome. Mae has invited Grace to hang out with her sometimes and listen to some of the songs she and her band play, or to just talk about how "everything sucks forever".
  • As someone who walked on the road she wanted to avoid, Grace pities the three birds who warped into monsters in an attempt to save their beloved forest from becoming a wasteland. She knew what that paranoia and distrust can do to a person, knowing that she was the architect of her own downfall. She also learned of another bird who got a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in Lord Shen and even his actions of genocide through the use of cannons was disgusting. While she did wheel Denizens, she only wheeled those who she thought would be "negative influences" on a passenger that prevented them from "surviving"...which is just as bad as if she did commit genocide since she didn't show concern of the children's feelings of destroying their partner and lying how she is their messiah. Speaking of the House of Pride and Egotism, while she tries to avoid many of the gods there for fear of them making her fall back on her growth, she did end up befriending Kuzco, as she understands his position of being arrogant before everything crashed down on him. Given how he's also been going through schooling before he can truly become emperor, the two have become something akin to study-buddies.
  • Grace learned of the tale of Coraline Jones, who had neglectful parents and ran away to a fantasy world where everyone loved her...and learned the price of staying there. Coraline explained that her parents did love her, but a deadline to a gardening catalogue and some unknown incident that got her mother in a neck brace meant they were too busy to pay attention. This made Grace double-check on how her parents might not have been as abusive or neglectful as she thought; maybe they did love her but were busy with their own lives. Maybe that incident with her stealing a bracelet was just their way of looking out for her. Maybe they were worried for what happened to her and she didn't give a damn about them. She'll never know the truth but she can at least start moving forward.
  • Has gotten divisive reactions from the Cartoon Network deities due to her actions. Gumball and the Camp Lazlo deities run away from her because she would categorize them as "Nulls". Sector V of the Kids Next Door loathe her because she's a lying, manipulative adult who brainwashed children to follow her lead (although they will work together if it comes to fighting Father). The Kanker Sisters also don't find her funny at all but they do sympathize with how she nearly died to Simon when she tried to reach out to him. Wirt has little esteem for her, since she did turn Simon into a monster and has made sure that Greg is never in her vicinity. The only deities from that circle who see she's trying to be better is Steven Universe, who has changed the hearts of the Diamonds (who have engaged in a 5000 year rampage and White Diamond being abusive to her own sisters) and Kevin Levin, who understands what it's like to become a monster.
  • She got along with Revan because both of them manipulated someone close to go down the path of evil, but ultimately recognized that they weren't responsible for how Darth Malak and Simon continued to make the bad choices that ruined their lives. Or, as Grace puts it to Simon, she doesn't owe her old friend anything. Revan hopes that Grace can ultimately figure out how to use her position to do some genuine good this time around.
  • The Equestrian gods have a complicated relationship with her. On one hand, they did forgive ponies/humans who have done worse — Sunset sent hateful emails to split her friends apart, Starlight tried to create a town where everyone followed to her totalitarianism speeches of being equal and then tried to rewind time so that Twilight Sparkle and her friends never got their Cutie Marks, and Discord enacted chaos across Equestria and briefly sided with Tirek — but on the other hand, she still did more harm than good until she was forced to see the consequences of her actions. For the moment, they're taking a friendship with her "one day at a time".
  • "I just...wanted to be noticed."

  • Domains: Profession, Personality, Love, Knowledge
  • Followers: Lotta Hart
  • Herald: General Sam Lane (her father).
  • Allies: CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN, Jor-El, Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, any good DC deities, Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Jade, Frank West, Shinnosuke Tomari/Kamen Rider Drive, Carly Nagisa/Carmine, any gods that received a lot of Die for Our Ship, Shana, Kotone Shiomi and Mitsuru Kirijo of S.E.E.S., Rena Mizunashi
  • Enemies: Any evil DC deities, The Council Of Shadows, High Councilor Kal-El/Regime Superman, The Joker, Bernkastel, Yuuki Terumi
  • Conflicting Opinion: Diana of Themiscyra/Wonder Woman, Kara Zor-L/Power Girl
  • Ascended because the gods are impressed when Lois decided to go undercover into the Pantheon with a pistol in hand and Superman on speed dial for a hot scoop despite knowing full well this is a place filled with powerful interdimensional beings. After her ascension, her husband / looooooooong-time boyfriend Superman decided to carry her off bridal style only for her to interrupt and tell him that she is still in her working hours.
  • The oldest childnote  of Sam and Ella Lane, Lois and her military family lived a volatile life relocating to and from various army bases all over the world where Sam was stationed. Over time, the life experience, as well as the training she received from her father, developed her into the tough, hard-working, Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist that she was long before the Man of Steel ever came into her life. Independent and competent to what may be a fault*, it should come as no surprise that she was the first to secure an interview with the one she dubbed "Superman".
  • Quickly made friends with April O'Neil and Jade because of their similar profession and a desire for truth no matter the cost. All three of them made it their personal mission to report everything of note going on in the pantheon and quickly made enemies with the Council of Shadows as Lois frequently sticks her nose into their business.
  • Has mixed feelings about Wonder Woman. While Lois herself doesn't have any personal grudge against the Amazon Princess, she avoids any kind of contact with Diana unless necessary after Lois found out from the Houses of Love and Affection and Death and Postmortem that a disturbing number of alternative versions of her were killed or mistreated in order for Diana to "comfort" Clark.
    • After this revelation, she gained a lot of sympathy for Mary Jane Watson after she found out the whole "One More Day" incident. It helps that their followers are civil toward each other.
    • Then, she found out that this is because a group thinks she isn't "tough enough" as well as not being able to "handle" Clark so they prefer Clark with Diana instead. The entire Pantheon is still in a silent agreement to not mention this incident to Lois ever again because despite her facade, she is still using every resource she has to track down the group and is seething inside. People know better to anger the woman who once flipped off Brainiac.
      • Was absolutely FURIOUS when she found out about the New 52, grumbling that the heads at DC are "screwing around with me and Clark." She and Wonder Woman finally came to an understanding after Diana pointed out, "Well you still have Man of Steel and Smallville."
    • She became a contact of Rena Mizunashi for Black Organization info. Rena is imploring Lois not to bring the matter to her husband.
  • Was conflicted when she learned that in an alternate universe, Clark is a tyrant because he accidentally killed her and their unborn child. While Lois was horrified and tried to corporate with other heroes to come up with back up plan to help Clark as well as took a few self-defense classes and hired a few bodyguards with superpowers, many people were flabbergasted when they learned that a very, very, VERY, small part deep, deep, DEEP inside of her felt oddly flattered over Regime Superman's motivation because this assured Lois how important their relationship is in her Clark's life. Of course, this caused her to avoid any kind of contact with the Joker as well as exasperated that in this universe, Clark tried to move on with Diana AGAIN.
  • Has mixed feelings about Supergirl, too. Although she treats her husband's cousin as family — and sometimes as a daughter — she has not forgotten than sometimes Supergirl thought her relationship with Clark was going nowhere and tried to hook him up with another woman. However, Kara Zor-El usually supports her cousin and Lois's relationship.
    • Their relationship got strained when Supergirl almost accidentally killed Lois's big sister Lucy, who had become the evil Superwoman. Though, because Lucy actually tried to kill Kara and aided and abetted General Lane in committing genocide, Lois sided with Kara.
    • Feeling disturbed about certain…rumors about Superman thinking his cousin would be the ideal woman and Supergirl feeling flattered by his interest, Lois confronted both Clark and Kara about it. Both cousins utterly refused to talk about the issue, though, and Lois had to eventually drop it.
    • Their relationship got better when Lois learned that Earth-149 Lex Luthor did manage to kill Superman and forced her to watch, but that universe's Supergirl ensured that Luthor would not get away with his crime.
  • Has a complicated relationship with Power Girl. On the one hand, both women haven't really got acquainted with each other. On the other hand, she knows Earth-2 Clark Kent and Lois Lane adopted her and her Earth-2 counterpart thought of Kara Zor-L as her daughter.
  • Rumor has it that after her ascension, Shana requested a private meeting with Lois in order for her to became the goddess of the Tsundere temple while she herself became her high priest because Lois is the Trope Codifier for Tsundere, not because Shana is excited to work with her or anything! Shut up! Lois just laughed and declined the offer as she thinks being married to a Kryptonian superhero, running a temple of her own on top of being a reporter eats up enough of her time as it is. She did however offer to run an advice column with Shana during her off days in English and Japanese to help their young followers navigate their feelings. Clark mentions that the column is so successful that Lois got a raise from their boss Perry to not quit her job at the Daily Planet, which she doesn't plan to do anyway as Lois loves the thrill of being a field reporter.
  • During her ascension, Lois was stunned into silence for the first time in her reporting life when Bernkastel and Terumi decided to troll her by forcing her to answer in public if, given her status as the famous example of Loves My Alterego and Two-Person Love Triangle, does she truly love Clark Kent — the awkward timid normal reporter — or Superman — the ultimate paragon of heroes and goodness. Thankfully, Clark flew in and saved the day by declaring that while Lois's feelings for him may have changed over the years and universe, she still loves him even after he revealed his secret to her, thus proving that her love for both sides of him is real in some capacity and that's all that matters. Cue the sound of "Awwwwwwww" from the House of Love and Manly Tears from everyone else.
  • Lois ended up with many look-a-likes, such as Princess Giselle or even between different versions of herself such as her own mother or as her husband's secretary.
  • The Houses of Heroism, Love and Affection, and Family and Relatives had a collective celebration when Clark and Lois revealed that, against all odds, they were able to conceive a child: a boy named Jonathan Samuel Kent. It happened when Clark and Lois were involved in an event simply known as the Convergence. Jon also serves as a herald for both his parents.
    • Supergirl publicly vowing to mercilessly rip apart whoever threatens little Jonathan has helped strengthen both women's relationship.
  • Was approached by detective Shinnosuke Tomari about some oddities regarding two deities called "Minato" (actually Makoto Yuki) and "Minako Arisato". Their pseudonyms*, powers, and histories dictated that they should have some connection to each other, but they had completely different hair and eyes, didn't know a thing about each other, and newspaper clippings of the car accident that had supposedly claimed both kids' mother and father only indicated one car had burned and one child had survived his/her parents. She'd initially presumed they were related and thought nothing of their likenesses, but was now just as curious as he was, so she helped out his investigation. They went straight to the police station in the deities' town to look through CCTV footage, and immediately caught sight of a few red-colored tapes, which they played over and discovered footage of the girl with her fellow S.E.E.S. members (except for Makoto) addressing her by the name of Kotone Shiomi.
    • Instantly they went straight to "Minako's" temple and asked why the fake name, and she revealed that since the Court of the Gods gave her that instead of her real name when she ascended, the others decided to go with it to see who could figure it out and when, as a possible clue into the cause of the mistake. Allowing Shinnosuke to leave and continue his fact-finding elsewhere, Lois joined Kotone's phone call to S.E.E.S./Shadow Operatives leader Mitsuru Kirijo about the discovery, following which the three ladies went straight to the Court with the evidence to get her name officially changed and put an end to the "Minako" charade.
  • Also has a spot in the House of Jobs and Profession, in the Hall of Investigative Work.

  • No one is sure how long Varrick has been in the Pantheon. When some of his associates on the mortal plane asked about it, he said, "Of course I'm in the Pantheon! You think I can be this successful and not be able to get in? You pay somebody enough money, and you can get anything!"
  • His assistant, Zhu Li, has accompanied Varrick, as he claims that he never goes anywhere without his assistant. As usual, he tells her to "do the thing" when he needs a task accomplished.
  • Despite honestly getting along with plenty of the gods in the Pantheon, Varrick's true allegiance is to money, and he'll play both sides if he has to, to make a quick buck.
    • Unless the world is on the line, then he'll likely do the right thing. This is one reason he doesn't approve of Hades and his way of war profiteering.
    • However, much of this has changed. After spending time with the Earth Empire, Varrick has started "hearing voices", and started having more concern for others. Though he's still himself, he's grown a bit.
  • There were once rumors of a war profiteering scheme going on in the Pantheon. As Sundowner is the god of that trope and an enemy to Raiden, the latter investigated and actually found out that Varrick was responsible instead. Being Crazy-Prepared and a surprisingly good judge of character, Varrick suspected Raiden would come after him and hid inside a taxidermy bear, saying that Raiden would never think to look there. Ironically for a man who's hidden in boxes, Raiden didn't find Varrick.
    • Varrick remained inside the bear for a long time after that, at least until Raiden lost interest and for about a week after that. Of course, his assistant was in the bear with him.
  • Despite being an underhanded businessman with essentially criminal methods, most gods in the Pantheon like his company, even good-aligned ones. Though the good-aligned gods' morality tends to take a dip when they spend too long with Varrick, and he manages to talk them into doing things that benefit him.
  • Lin Beifong is still wary of Varrick for how he played into the Water Tribe tensions to enrich himself at the potential expense of Republic City and the Tribes' safety during Harmonic Convergence season, though she does acknowledge the stroke of conscience that's come upon him in the time since then and is willing to work with him when the occasion calls for it.
  • Whenever he gets caught red-handed and called out for all the bad things he's done, Varrick tries to make a case for all the good things he's done, but gets too wrapped up in it and starts slipping in some more bad things he's done.
  • The House of Love and Affection happily inducted Varrick into their order of married deities, having their hearts warmed by his proposal and wedding.
  • Due to his newly developed sense of right and wrong, Varrick elected not to sell his Platinum Mechs to Roman Torchwick, creating resentment between the two.
  • Had an encounter with Flintheart Glomgold during one of the former's travels. Varrick initially thought that Flintheart had a connection with Mcduck, but Flintheart made it very clear that he's only interested in surpassing Mcduck's wealth, a task that Varrick felt was extremely difficult. Flintheart ended up tricking Varrick into tagging along with some money-making plans. As Varrick saw Flintheart in action, it became clear that what Varrick saw was an even worse version of himself and one who would end up being fully absorbed in obtaining money no matter what. Varrick more than understood why he became a better person to begin with and betrayed Flintheart when the latter was busy. Both have made it clear that they don't want to get involved with each other since that incident.
