• The setting of the Wanted comic book was once like many superhero comics. But on 1986, the supervillains teamed up together and finally achieved dominance. But destroying all the superheroes of the world was not enough; they altered reality so that no-one would remember superheroes or supervillains existed outside of comic books, while the latter secretly ruled the world. To be a member of the Fraternity is to be a cold-blooded supervillain above the law, capable of killing police officers and assaulting celebrities with no repercussion. And to be a member of the Fraternity is to be free of punishment unless you anger another supervillain.
• The Fraternity's ascension was because of Melkor and Angra Mainyu wanting to show off a universe where evil has won and continues to win, however they consider their ascension to be negative; the reason the Fraternity doesn't rule openly is because otherwise all the superheroes in the multiverse would be on their asses. However the GUAG flat out doesn't care that they limit themselves to one reality and believe whatever the universe, the power systems of evil must be dismantled. The Council of Five was forced to invest in the help of Melkor and other evil entities to maintain their status quo, and in return their world will serve as an asylum for the GUAE. This arrangement has become more agreeable as some of the saner members of the GUAE are fine towing the rules the Fraternity has.
• Ahura Mazda regards the existence of the Fraternity to be an affront to all that is good, and plans to prove to them that the Karma Houdini trope, in his own words, "does not exist so long as I draw breath". Resisting the God of Good has further put the Fraternity under Melkor and Angra Mainyu's debt; enough that some have speculated Melkor had saw that this would happen and ascended them because he knew he could exploit it. Others don't think they were clever enough to put that idea together but instead of thinking it was a fortunate coincidence for the gods of evil claim it was a tactic orchestrated by King Piccolo; his may be a more Anarcho-Tyranny fashion of evil ruling, but he was still jubilant at the Fraternity and their Villain World ascending.
• Among the heroic and anti-heroic deities looking to "clean house" are Felonius Gru and the Boys. The latter are absolutely justified in hating the supes of the Fraternity. The former is part of the Anti-Villain League, and even when he was a bad guy he was never comparable to the Fraternity's depravity. Among the villainous deities wanting to eradicate the Fraternity are Light Yagami, Misa Amane, John Doe, and Zamasu. Misa holds a special repulsion for Wesley as he once raped a celebrity and got away with it, while Light and John see the Fraternity in reality close to how corrupt they see the world in their own minds. Zamasu wishes to exterminate a world that would allow evil to prosper, though of course that includes the human population as he considers them little better than the Fraternity. While everybody could point out Zamasu's hypocrisy at this point, nobody would mourn him destroying the Fraternity.
• The asylum the Fraternity gives to supervillains, so long as they aren't too reckless, has been a boon to Roarks Senior and Junior. They feel a lot more safe in their world than in the Trope Pantheon as a whole, though they would prefer it if their home city would ascend one day. Diavolo found it a good place to be a recluse, which caught the attention of Bucciarati's gang. As they use organized crime to help people, the gang was appalled by the Fraternity basically being a global organized crime unit so its members can do whatever cruelties they want without repercussion. Finally for villains seeking asylum there were the Slavers, who were promised with the backing of the Fraternity they can continue their sex trafficking ring without consequences.
• The Fraternity is currently being led by Eminem-looking Wesley Gibson. (something that Deadpool won't let go, always calling his phone to play Slim Shady songs - along with asking if Wesley will ever make good of the threat he made in the final page◊, Wade's very up to it!) He's the son of the Killer, one of the greatest supervillains to live. He was set up to inherit his job and managed to work his way up to the top. He used to be a total loser who's girlfriend was cheating on him, and while he thinks of himself as a badass he's really just a smug prick who thinks he can do what he wants as a supervillain. He's similar to Hal Stewart except smarter and(in some ways) tougher. While they are able to work together for their own goals, and have similar self-entitlement issues, Hal thinks some of the stuff he's done is fucked up. Given Wesley raped a celebrity and got away with it, and killed a nice old man just for being somewhat annoying, Hal is justified in questioning him.
• Naturally Wesley is hated by rape victims like Casca and protectors of women, many of whom could kick his ass and point out how much of a degenerate little prick he is. He's smart enough to not stay away from him and ignore their goading by saying he's a coward on top of things. Besides them Wesley is also on Catwoman's shitlist. He hit on her as his love/lust interest the Fox is similar to her, though a full villain rather than an Anti-Hero. Selina knows what he's done, finds him repulsive for other reasons as well, and hopes to never meet the Fox. And then she decided to get under his skin.
  Selina Kyle: "You bemoaned your ex-girlfriend blatantly cheating on you, but after having met you it's obvious why she did so".
• Wesley is extremely talented in markmanship, being able to shoot the flies off wings. Sometimes you can find him in the firing range portion of the Hall of Firearms along with other villains. Some snarkier villains asked "I'm surprised you didn't get live target practice", causing him to reply "just because I'm a supervillain doesn't mean I have to be evil 100% of the time". Soon afterwards he had to quickly dodge out of the way of Frank Castle, who while a killer regards him as criminal scum. The shoot-out that ensued led him to crash into Patrick Bateman's department. After they got off the Punisher's tail the two bonded in their similarities; psychotic, venal asshats who think their status lets them do whatever they want while simultaneously bemoaning any slights. The Punisher merely responded to this newfound friendship with "those slights should be bullets".
• The picture of the Council of Five, the Fraternity's ruling group, is out of date but it's the only picture they currently have. Each member rules over a continent. The Professor ruled over both American continents, and for an implied pederast who engineered the superhero genocide he's a surprisingly friendly fellow. He seems to be the Lex Luthor of the group, and had his own Bizarro equivalent; he's interested in the original. He and Lex Luthor sometimes work together. Other still-aligned members of the Council are Adam One, a Vandal Savage-type immortal supervillain who rules Africa, and The Emperor, a Chinese supervillain who rules Asia.
• Though heroes in general hate the Fraternity, the DC and Marvel superheroes hold a particular loathing for it as many of their members remind them of their own supervillains. The fact that the DC and Marvel multiverses existed came as a shock to the Fraternity, as they could swear they were instead based off the real superheroes that used to exist for them. Some of the more bored members of the Fraternity snuck over to their universes for combat, but this has been heavily discouraged as their ascension into the pantheon has put a lot of pressure into maintaining their Karma Houdini status.
• Prime Minister Honest considers the world of the Fraternity to be his personal utopia, where he can bask in the inherent corruption forever. And it's for that very same reason Night Raid wishes to exterminate the villains. The Spectre's reaction to a world of karma houdinis was far more hostile; he lost his shit completely and not only inflicted Cruel and Unusual Death on the villains, but completely destroyed the world they live in as he saw it as completely corrupt. The Presence had to yank the Spectre away for punishment of been blinded in the red mist, and push the Reset Button. However every villain remembers the rampage upon their resurrection and have been deeply shaken. Melkor made sure to capitalize on it by him and Angra Mainyu working to prevent something like that from happening again.
• The Godhand support the Fraternity and their status quo as it follows the "do as thou wilt" and spreading evil/despair that they and the Idea of Evil enjoy. Molag Bal supports them as well since he admires their domination of their world and general cruelty. Unlike Melkor or Angra Mainyu the Fraternity doesn't mind the Daedra since he is good help against the likes of Nemesis; they're terrified of her shutting their organization down given she always makes it her duty to ensure there is no such thing as a Karma Houdini.
• The organization doesn't really have standards, which some villainous deities in the pantheon disagree with. Crow, for instance, is all about villainous victories but he considers the Fraternity's cruelties "not worth it". However they are about practicality. They refuse to let the Joker join as he reminds them of the disgraced Council of Five member Mr Rictus, who wanted to rule openly and didn't give a damn about this getting the attention of heroes across the multiverse. Basically if you're Stupid Evil, they don't want you. They tolerate the antics of the Brave Companions to an extent, but only because they can easily be blamed as a scapegoat and are willing to tow the line if they get their requisite fill of brutality.
• They are somewhat hesitant working with Nazis, mainly for how The Future defected with Mr Rictus because he was tired of waiting to establish a second Holocaust. The Red Skull considers many of them degenerate unternmensch, however he tolerates working with them because he needs the help to establish his Nazi empire within his own universe; they have less standards than most Marvel supervillains so the Skull takes the help he can get. Schwarze Sonne would rather take over the Fraternity's world, but they would also accept "merely" ruling their moon.
• Some have noticed that the year of their takeover, 1986, was when the last issues of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and wonder if there's any correlation. They refuse to bring it up, and like just about everyone dread the idea of facing the Anti-Monitor. The Fraternity are also opponents of the GUAD; they may be nihilistic super-villains, but they prefer being alive and see no profit in being an Omnicidal Maniac. In attempt to defend themselves from the GUAD and encourage the GUAG to get off their back, they've reluctantly aided them in fighting against the GUAD and given some technology to help them...but only against the GUAD. None of the Council of Five were all that happy about it.
• It's been rumored the Fraternity was in fact the organization that was funding Nemesis' thrill seeking as a supervillain. Given the extremes he went to, including kidnapping the president, if they were funding him it was probably at the behest of Mr Rictus. There's also the fact they share an author. Nemesis isn't in the mood to reveal anything about himself, but he was happy to be an official member of the Fraternity.
• The Crime Syndicate was rather impressed by the Fraternity's iron-clad rule over their world, especially since unlike their Mirror Universe the deck was initially stacked against them. They're still going to try and take it over though, as they would really love to pull whatever trick allowed the Fraternity's Cosmic Retcon of the heroes to get rid of the Justice League of America. Aku meanwhile feels their world run by evil is "boring", preferring that they run it as an Anarcho-Tyranny like himself. They refuse as that would end up biting them in the ass, and rightfully believe Aku just wants to take them over. Aku's response was "not if you play your cards right!" As the future that is Aku was undone in part because of Aku's needless dickery (ie: wasting his time figuring how to execute him and awakening Ashi's powers by controlling her, including time travel) the Fraternity have a point.
• Junko Enoshima has also called the Fraternity boring, and so has HIM. HIM actually succeeded in conquering the world in a Bad Future and was an openly cruel tyrant, however the Fraternity retorted that this was because his main obstacles were gone; they still have to worry about getting attention from superheroes from other universes. They have also made it clear to Junko they want a sustainable despotism; they spread despair through making the world cynical and accepting of the status quo they covertly established, not through fetishizing it^note though they aren't kinkshaming her on a global scale. Big Brother approved of this as a more sustainable method of tyranny, but wishes the Fraternity could focus more on enforcing despair.
• Unlike most who think their world was "boring", Apocalypse actually has a reason beyond sadism; it doesn't promote strength and allows them to grow weak. The Fraternity simply responded with "we don't care". Dimentio considers their world boring less because he's a psycho (though he's also that), but doesn't think it fits his idea of "a perfect world". No-one's sure what this would be besides a general To Create a Playground for Evil, and while the Fraternity have their own take on the trope the fact he was willing to destroy everything if he couldn't live to rule everything makes him too unstable to be a potential partner. Dimentio thinks they're hypocrites as he can absolutely imagine a group with no belief or value system than pragmatism having no compunctions with destroying the world if they've completely lost.
• There are villains out there who created their own world that were willing to work with in full. They vetoed joining with Zim despite his victory in a Bad Future because regardless of the timeline he's an idiot, and the two Megatron as while they've taken over Cybertron in some universes they have at best a disdain for organic life. However Palpatine and Ganondorf, who are both intelligent and have held power in their setting for years, were considered perfectly acceptable business partners. They have also promised to make the Bad Future of many villains where they won the future. Of note:
  • Dr Wily had a universe where thanks to his main obstacles being sent 30 years into the future, he took over. He still had resistance however, and this future was undone when said obstacles returned to the present. Though most incarnations think that Wily's a madman for the whole "pull the moon out of the orbit" he is accepting of the Fraternity's support to make this a reality; he wants time travel to complete Zero much earlier and not have to digitize himself into the virus.
  • Dr Eggman has done Wily one better and conquered the world without the Reset Button being pulled in a number of continuities, eventually succeeding in the main one within the events of Sonic Forces. He still lost control, but points for trying. For the most part the Fraternity and Eggman can work with one another, but they are hesitant on his more crazy incarnations who would threaten the world itself, or outright destroy it if they cannot rule. They have a less severe dynamic with the Shredder, who managed to take over the world in a Bad Future; he's usually fine working with them, but sometimes he's not that interested in their lofty ambitions and with the Utrom incarnation they consider him too unstable. Trying to destroy the TMNT multiverse because you can't accept your nemesis will exist across it is tactidly insane as far as the Fraternity is concerned.
  • Many MLP villains were informed that thanks to time travel there were timelines where they won. They jumped on joining the Fraternity to make these timelines mainstream reality, with the exception of King Sombra; his ego means he refuses to work with anyone. Discord went incognito in hopes of ruining their plans.
• They are aware of the movie Wanted, but disregard it since beyond the broad strokes it doesn't have a lot in common with their world. The Fraternity there are a bunch of assassins, not supervillains. At most, they accepted the movie's theme song, which the Fraternity admits helps set the mood before a day's work.
• Also present in the House of Locations.

• Hao was born as Asaha Douji in Japan during the Heian era. His mother, Asanoha Douji, was mistakenly believed to have been a disguised fox spirit by the local villagers due to her ability to see ghosts. As a result, the villagers killed her by burning down the hut she and her son lived in, leaving Asaha alone and vengeful towards all humankind. Asaha saw the world as a grim and dark place until he met a small demon named Ohachiyo, who taught him all the positive aspects of life. However, after an accident involving Asaha's first Over Soul, Ohachiyo became a permanent part of Asaha and cursed him with the dangerous ability of Reishi, the ability to read the hearts of others. Though it was a quite useful ability, Asaha was unable to control this ability and was constantly inundated with the thoughts of those surrounding him. In his teen years, having witnessed the corruption and greed in the capital, Asaha was aloof to those around him, but as he grew into an adult, he became a relatively peaceful man who sought to help the people around him. With the experience of his childhood, Asaha became a talented Onmyōji. Asaha also met Matamune, a stray cat, who became his faithful companion and a real friend. When Matamune died, Asaha gave him some of his spiritual energy so that Matamune could stay with him forever. Asaha's skills had him named the guardian of Kyoto and, inspired by his office, he was given the name Hao Asakura. Later on, he also founded the Asakura family in Kyoto. Nevertheless, the curse implanted on Hao by Ohachiyo was permanent and eventually drove him completely crazy. The internal confusion and disorder that was created eventually led to his desire of creating a Shaman Kingdom on Earth and drove him to become the Shaman King in order to reach his main goal of eliminating all non-shamans. Upon learning of his plans to destroy all of humanity, the Asakuras ousted him and he was eventually killed by one of his own relatives during the Shaman Fights.
• Following his death, Hao ended up in Hell. However, his Yin-Yang Jutsu, the mastery of the five elements, prevented his permanent death. Fighting his way past the seventy-five Lords of Hell, Hao reached Taizan Fukun, the god of the dead, and negotiated the terms of his reincarnations, making a contract which gave him the ability to resurrect the dead and reincarnate himself at will. In his second life, Hao chose to be reincarnated as a Patch Tribe member, the ones that organized the Shaman King Tournament. During his time as a Patch, he was married and had a wife and a child. He once again projected his idea of a Shaman-only world but, although he managed to gain a group of followers, was ultimately rejected by the shamans he was trying to promote. He was ultimately killed once again during the Shaman Fights by Yohken Asakura and Matamune. Despite the fact that he had died before becoming Shaman King, he achieved his goal of capturing the legendary Spirit of Fire in order to use it as his guardian ghost in his next life.
• In his third life, Hao chose to be reborn into his original bloodline to become stronger. Wishing to prevent Hao from being reborn and fulfilling his goal, the family agreed to kill him shortly after his birth. However, Hao was born alongside a twin brother, Yoh. Unable to determine which of the twins was Hao, their grandfather, Yohmei, reluctantly decided to kill both infants to be sure. However, Yohmei's brief moment of hesitation allowed the newborn Hao to summon the Spirit of Fire and escape, which, by extension, also resulted in Yoh's life being spared. Hao spent the following years gathering followers in preparation for the Shaman Fights. Ultimately, Hao became Shaman King, but eventually managed to finally let go of his hatred after a battle against Yoh and his friends and a reunion with his mother's spirit. Although he still disliked humanity, Hao was convinced to spare them for the time being, giving them a chance to improve themselves before he passed his judgment upon them.
• Hao arrived into the Pantheon by appearing seemingly out of nowhere. After briefly looking at his surroundings, he simply stated "so small" before entering his temple, which had similarly appeared out of nowhere. The GUAE was strongly interested in recruiting him to their cause due to the massive power he possesses. However, Hao has made it clear that he's not interested in joining any side, preferring to remain an uninvolved observer.
• When given the option of appointing a high priest, Hao was rather hesitant, as he didn't want to deal with someone he didn't like. He ultimately settled on NEO, whom he felt a connection to due to tha fact that NEO had similarly abandoned his plans after the heroes talked him into a Heel Realization.
• Hao frequently visits the Houses of Ambiguity, Heroism, Religion and Faith, and Villainy in order to study and observe the various aspects of morality. As such, he took an interest in Cosmos, Melkor, YHVH and Lucifer, as they each represent the Four Cardinal Moral Alignments that form the cores of all philosophies.
  • Cosmos adviced him to spare humanity, appealing to the goodness within Hao and reminding him of the time that he resurrected Yoh, Anna and Hana after they had been killed. Hao merely replied that, although he had let go of his hatred, he still wasn't entirely convinced that ordinary humans would be able to improve themselves in time and remarked that he had only resurrected his family because Anna had blackmailed him.
  • Melkor told him to proceed with his original goal and then rule over the surviving shamans, stating that Hao had been right in judging ordinary humans as being unworthy of continued survival. Although he admittedly still dislikes humans, Hao replied that his original plan was based on what was basically a petty grudge and that he refuses to return to his old ways.
  • YHVH stated that the only way to achieve true stability and order is to subject everyone to his will. Hao outright rejected the idea, as he has no intention of eliminating free will and prefers convincing people to join him willingly.
  • Lucifer explained his desire to create a world with absolute freedom where all sentient beings would be free to do as they pleased. While Hao agrees that free will should be preserved, he does not agree with Lucifer's extremeness, as he believes that order should be preserved as well.
• Other deities that have drawn his interest include Ryoji Mochizuki and Izanami. Ryoji's status of being the Nyx Avatar and the Anti Anti Christ is something that Hao finds rather intriguing, given that Ryoji doesn't remember being the Nyx Avatar and doesn't want to use his abilities to end the world, which contrasts with Hao's previous goal of deliberately trying to wipe out ordinary humans. Izanami's inhuman morality similarly fascinates him due to the fact that she almost wiped out humanity through an Assimilation Plot due to a misunderstanding of what humans desire. It gives him an appreciation for his human origin, preventing him from making a similar mistake as Shaman King.
• Hao is also fascinated by Galeem and Dharkon, the dueling manifestations of order and chaos. He found it interesting that the two not only fought each other but were willing to capture and force others to fight for them as well. The fact that neither of the two is benevolent or seemingly interested in the welfare of other beings reminded Hao of the hatred that he used to feel towards humanity and he remarked that Galeem and Dharkon are both consumed by a similar hatred towards each other.
• His reunion with Yoh and Anna was rather awkward, given their history and the fact that he had previously resurrected them after Anna blackmailed him. After Yoh gave a friendly greeting and Anna aloofly acknowledged his presence, Hao remarked that, in spite of their past together, he was genuinely happy to see them and wouldn't mind visiting them from time to time.
• Hao managed to strike up something of a friendship with Naoki Kashima and Yamato Hotsuin. Naoki's contemplative nature and their respective accomplishments provide a good source for conversation and the two are occasionally seen playing puzzle games or even having friendly sparring matches. Similarly, Yamato's goal to create a fair world where everyone gets exactly what they deserve appealed to Hao and resulted in the two getting along pretty well.
• He's on good terms with Doctor Doom, who similarly wishes to create a better world. Hao was curious as to whether or not Doom would try to obtain his power, as Doom has a history of stealing power from cosmic beings for himself. However, Doom assured him that he has no intention of doing so now that he's undergone a Heel–Face Turn.
• Hao gets along quite well with Avatar Aang and Captain Planet, as they share his desire to protect nature. Neither is particularly comfortable with Hao's former villainy, but are happy that he's willing to give humanity a chance to improve themselves. Hao is rather impressed by their respective mastery over the elements, which is similar to his own. He was also surprised to learn about Aang's ability to reincarnate, although Aang can't directly remember his past lives and neither can he directly pass on his own memories to his successor, Korra.
• Hao managed to befriend King Arthur Pendragon after hearing about how Arthur intended to wish on the Holy Grail in order to create a utopia where everything would be peaceful and there would be no suffering. However, Arthur eventually abandoned this ideal in the First Holy Grail War after a conversation with a young Ayaka Sajyou made him understand that he didn't need to spend his days mourning his Britain and trying to undo the past. Hao was rather surprised by how similar their experiences were and the two spent an afternoon having a pleasant conversation. They have remained on good terms ever since.
• Surprisingly, Hao managed to befriend Q and the Outsider due to the fact that all three have a shared interest in observing humans and their morality. Q tends to be rather critical of how Hao's hatred nearly resulted in him wiping out all ordinary people, which Hao has acknowledged as a valid criticism. The Outsider views Hao as a kindred spirit, as they had both suffered cruelty at the hands of humans at a young age, which resulted in both of them developing a dislike for humanity. The three of them are occasionally seen together in various locations throughout the pantheon, which tends to make people worry that they might be up to something.
• Due to his past as a Super Supremacist, Amon and the equalists strongly oppose Hao and view him as one of their biggest enemies. Hao is rather amused by their attempts to attack him, which haven't really amounted to anything.
• Hao strongly dislikes the House of Commerce, as he views money as the primary reason behind the corruption in society. He refuses to use it and had his group follow the philosophy of being completely self-sufficient, even if it meant stealing something to obtain it. However, Hao's disdain is primarily focused on those that use their money for evil purposes. As such, good and neutral deities within the house generally manage to stay on his good side.
• Hao was rather surprised to learn of an alternate universe in which he was noticeably more villainous. He was particularly impressed by the fact that the Yoh of that universe actually managed to kill him by somehow gathering the necessary power. Although regarded as a victory, Hao pointed out that, if that had actually happened to him, he would have simply reincarnated again 500 years later and would have been even stronger, making his victory inevitable.
• Upon learning of the Throne of Heroes, a place existing outside of both the World and the time axis where Heroic Spirits reside, he compared it to the inside of the Great Spirit, where he and previous Shaman Kings reside and where only people Hao wishes to enter may come. Hao was also surprised by how much the Holy Grail Wars resemble the Shaman Fights, as they're also intense battle royales between proficient magi meeting in battle in order to claim the Holy Grail, an artifact purportedly capable of granting any wish to whoever acquires it. Overall, Hao is quite fascinated by the Holy Grail Wars but is also rather irritated by the fact that the winning pair has to be very specific with their wording when wishing upon the grail in order to for their wish to be granted, whereas the Shaman Fights don't feature such inconvenience.
• Hao was amused to discover his Japanese voice sounds like those of Pai Chan, Axl and Kiki. However, aside from this, Hao isn't particularly interested in interacting with any of them.

• Avoids: Darkseid
• The Great Evil, or Mr Shadow as his associates refer to it, is a flaming, moon-sized abomination who shows up once ever 5000 years to take the Four Stones/Elements. If the Fifth Element is used to defeat the Evil, it will become a moon and return the next 5000 years. If the Evil wins, it will not just destroy the Earth but use the stones to destroy all life in the universe. So for the sake of everyone it needs to be defeated every time.
• Though it seems a mindless Made of Evil, It Can Think such as how it solidified its surface to counter-act a missile launch. It can also ally itself with greedy humans looking to make a profit like Zorg, however being in the pantheon it prefers to associate with the GUAD as they share its mindset. The likes of the Lich and Surtr don't start bleeding black hearing its voice, and shares its belief they are destined forces of doom and destruction. Galactus and Unicron don't care for the hellish Genius Loci ruining their food with the GUAD, however as Unicron has membership in said GUAD it's more about only getting to devour dead worlds.
• Mr Shadow is interested in Ragyo Kiryuin as she's a businesswoman who'd sell out humanity for an Eldritch Abomination, and believes it might be able to convince her to side with it. Right now, however, she is more focused on somehow getting the Original Life Fiber to the pantheon. It tried to get Dr Weil and his hatred of nature on its side, but Weil has stated he would prefer inflicting a living death on the Earth. Finally it sought Zero, as the Evil wants to awaken him as a god of destruction like Omega, which Zero was adamantly against. So was Dr. Wily as he wants to rule the world, not destroy it!
• It has been referred to as Anti-Life or Anti-Lifeforce, which caught Darkseid's interest for a bit. The Evil would prefer to steer clear of Darkseid, but unlike most of the GUAD or just about everyone it does side with the Anti-Monitor. This is because Mr Shadow is made of Antimatter and is hostile to all life, which serves the purposes of the Antimatter Universe's ruler. Giratina was enraged by this as he finds both of them a disgrace to antimatter and a threat to everything. Neither deny the latter. The Time Lord Omega holds a fair bit of disdain for The Evil as well, but this is entirely personal because of the trauma of being trapped and decayed by the antimatter universe he was stuck on for eons.
• The Evil gets along with Angra Mainyu. They're forces of great evil who seek to destroy the universe, yet have so far been unable to do so. While Ahura Mazda always wins because Angra Mainyu's nature prevents it, Leeloo must always win because Mr Shadow cannot be allowed a single victory. The Destructive Spirit is glad that the Evil is too serious to snark at his expense as he could really do with the help. He also found an unexpected friend in the AI Omega, who loves to talk about evil, making the otherwise emotionless force indulge in somehow invested and amused discussions - even if whenever Doc takes over the mind again, Mr. Shadow makes clear how he hates having his conversations interrupted by making the medic bleed from the forehead.
• Above all Mr Shadow hates Leeloo for always making sure it cannot win, and any wielders of the Fifth Element. More often this is love. Wielders and groups of multiple elements like the Planeteers and the Avatars are on its hit list as well. The Evil has also come to be really frustrated with Clara Oswald; by fragmenting herself to defend the Doctor across his history, she is always there to be a thorn in beings like itself. The Doctor is also another being Mr Shadow wants eliminated as being a heroic time traveler means they can always prepare for his quint-millennial invasion. To aid in stopping him The Evil has sided with the Dalek Empire, but for them it's more of an armistace; the Daleks approve of his goal to wipe out all life, but so long as they remain the sole surviving species. And then they will inevitably turn on him, as is their nature.
• It was overjoyed that if it were to kill the Life Entity, at least before it makes a replacement, it would kill all life in the DC Universe. Beings who embody life are Mr Shadow's enemy by default, and it usually gets along with beings who stand for the exact opposite. Vaatu is a lot like Mr Shadow and liked the idea of it going after Raava, however opposes Mr Shadow to a degree as it wants to usher in an age of 10,000 years of darkness. Destroying all life would deprive it of some fun. Being Made of Evil like Vaatu and being a force of cataclysm Mr Shadow things Vaatu has spunk. It doesn't feel similarly towards Aku as the Evil thinks he plays too much with his food and thus squandered his long reign. The Deliverer of Darkness scoffs at this since he finds nothing fun in Mr Shadow's goals compared to his own.
• The Outer Gods wonder if Mr Shadow is the spawn of Ghroth the Harbinger, an unascended member of the their kind. As a living planet who causes destruction to all worlds it comes across, it's a fair comparison. And it is not the only malevolent celestial object seeking a doomsday; just ask the Sleeper or SCP-1548. However they aren't one for team-ups and would prefer to do their own thing. Mr Shadow considers this unfortunate but understands their desires enough to consider them rivals instead of pure enemies.
• One celestial object that was definitely not for destroying the Earth was Mogo. They may not socialize, but they will definitely face up against the Evil as will the Green Lantern Corps. The Evil has a healthy amount of concern for Saint Walker as his Blue Lantern ring would empower the Green Lanterns, which would allow Mogo to utterly stomp it. Worse for Mr Shadow is that it poses such a threat Gaea is ready to get off her ass and show it that the Earth itself can fight back. The threat Mr Shadow poses to all life is bad enough that the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za will team up with their enemies to thwart it. They have planet-destroying weapons too, though Mr Shadow can alter its mass for defensive purposes.
• As Mr Shadow finds Gaea particularly troubling, it believes Dark Gaia would be a great ally against the Protogenoi of the Earth. Dark Gaia has a similar cyclical view of manifesting, trying to destroy the world, and waiting one day to re-emerge. Other figures who Mr Shadow benefits from joining are the Firebird, Deathwing and Lavos. Wiseman, a manipulative psychopath who went from a human mass murderer to an omnicidal planet akin to the Evil, was someone who got along swimmingly with Mr Shadow. The Dark Star and the Shadow Queen like it for bringing darkness and destruction, though the Dark Star sees the Evil as more of a rival due to being omnicidal even by the standards of the GUAD.
• The corpse of one of its prior incarnations was likely the Moon. Given Mr Shadow arrives every 5000 years, this might go to explain how people can keep destroying it, or maybe it just raises further questions. Lunar deities are deeply disturbed by this. Majora was amused as it sough to crash the moon into the Earth, and would like to take control of Mr Shadow somehow so it has all the fun.

• Opposed By: Krim Steinbelt
• A former follower of Ryoma Sengoku who had managed to ascend in the pantheon due to his accomplishments of creating the Roidmudes for his evil schemes, as well as his overall actions were proven to be more evil than his creations. His other reason of ascending in the pantheon is to re-enact his master plan again, called the "Pantheonic Global Freeze" so he can conquer the whole pantheon.
• His plans would consider him a threat to many Toku Heroes, such as the Kamen Riders, and Magical Girls, such as the Pretty Cures and the Sailor Warriors, because of the nature of the said plan where every surrounding would stop completely and he can digitized them into data through his Sigma Circular device. Because of this, the Toku Heroes and the Magical Girls stands up in a attempt to foil his plans.
  • Inspector Akane Tsunemori also hates his guts since his evil actions considers him a latent criminal and she will dare to stop his plans.
  • The Night Raid also considered him a threat and he was condemned to be assassinate by them since his stint as a Mad Scientist reminding them too much of their enemy Dr. Stylish.
  • On the other hand, the Trollkaigers, along with Dr. Weil, Monokuma and his Mastermind, were very supportive of him carrying his master plan as they wanted to spread anarchy and despair to any who oppose them.
• Upon entering the pantheon, he also brought Roidmude 006's lifeless body with him while he also gained the means to assumed the form of his human guise.
• He also brought 004 as his loyal herald as a means of helping him in his evil inventions due to 004 managed to copy a dying Krim Steinbelt back in the past.
• Has managed to recruit Kiyoto Maki as his High Priest because he is amused of Maki's actions of being worse than any of the Greeeds much like how his action are far worse than any of the Roidmudes in general.
• Has became enemies with Hank Pym because Hank describes his actions of creating the Roidmudes for his evil plans is far worse than him for creating Ultron because, unlike Banno, Hank intends to use Ultron for its benevolent use.
• He also meets another robot in the form of Ultron, most likely due to his similar backgrounds with the Roidmudes, Banno was also surprised that his followers were his creations itself and Ultron was very cautious of him due to his reputation of controlling the Roidmudes for his petty plans.
  • Due to his reputation creating his creations for his own agenda, he became a public enemy number 1 in the eyes of many robotic deities like Mega Man, Proto Man, X, Zero, and The Terminator, since they were cautious of his act of corrupting every robots via implanting the control chip that could turn them into his destructive robot puppets for his evil plans.
• He is close allies with Relius Clover because the latter was proud of Banno having the same path as he does. Relius was delight of his stint as he will assist Banno in conquering the pantheon through his master plan.
• Has made in ally in the form of Embryo, despite the latter's dislike for chaos. He was quite impressed Embryo's manipulative and charismatic abilities and feels that he could learn a thing or two from him. Embryo is more than happy to lend his assistance... provided that Banno can grant him an audience the "lovely" Angel Roidmude.
  • His involvement with Embryo also made him enemies with Ange and Tusk because he became aware of them being allies with Shinnosuke.
• Has also made an alliance with Ragyo Kiryuin as he is amused of her act of distributing clothes that contains an hostile Life Fibers on it, and Dr. Wily because thy both shared the same ambition of turning their robots into evil beings. The trio formed a pact and they worked together to create hybrid forms consisting of the Roidmudes imbued with the powers of the Life Fibers.
• He quickly became enemies with the likes of Ichigo Kurosaki and Tidus after he notice that they sounds similar to his own while the two hates his guts for being an Control Freak he is. Go also sympathizes with them over how his father is making deities like them (even Claire Stanfield) look bad.
• Due to him being the evil knockoff to the Drive System, he also made enemies with The Flash as the latter pointed out Gold Drive's color schemes are the same as his Arch-Enemy the Reverse Flash.
• Due to him being an Abusive Parent, he drew an ire on many Good-aligned Families and Doting Parents such as the The Parrs, the Uzumaki, Nanoha, Fate, Kirito, and Asuna, even then likes of Jin Kazama, Yui, Hotaru Tomoe, Zuko, Ryuko Matoi, and Satsuki Kiryuin, hates his guts and they all described him as nothing but a "devil" who will do anything just for the sake of his own plans.
  • Much to everyone's surprise, Yuno Gasai also hates his guts and she also shared the same opinion with them since his cruel actions towards his children reminding her of her being abused by her ill-minded mother during her time in the first world.
• He was irritated that his opposition Krim and the Special Investigation Unit's Kamen Riders are ascending alongside him. He was very cautious towards his son Go, after all, his son was the one who ended his existence back then.
  • This gets worse that he, along with Ryoma Sengoku, got banned in the House of Machinery and Technology because of their respective crimes they commit in their respective verses. That is until both him and Ryoma joined Shocker as a means to continue his diabolical plans of creating evil Roidmudes that were fully obedient under him.

• Pities: The Professor (Felix The Cat)
• Disgusted by: The Hall of Anti-Heroism, The House of Friendship and Camaraderie, any deity who tries to befriend him, most noticeably Wander and The Blorg
• For a good chunk of villains, they often do not succeed in their end goal and are often defeated by the heroes before they can even take over a single kingdom. However, there is always a couple of villains who slip through this standard and sometimes flat out win against the heroes. Meet Crow, a Sky Pirate who hails from a long line of other villains who taught him everything he knew (save for a Great-Grandfather who became an Anti-Hero, a title that Crow finds disgusting). His goal is to kidnap all the princesses of the world to power up a doomsday device to Take Over the World, starting with his hometown princess, Mayapple and defeating the hero, Mack. Thanks to a Moment of Weakness with Mack considering Crow as a Harmless Villain, Crow was able to finally win, and over the course of his journey his came across other heroes and managed to best each one of them, no matter who they were, getting ever so closer to his goal. Such a feat was considered so impressive that the House of Villainy quickly warmed up to him and invited him into the Pantheon, which he accepted, with various other villains praising him for his success.
  • Although it isn't all good for him, as the House of Time and Temporality picked up two timelines which occurred once he had all the princesses inside his Doom Howitzer. From here, he could truly win, defeating the hero one last time as Hyper Mack, and tosses aside all of the friends he formed throughout his journey. The other ending has him give it all up, getting infected by The Power of Friendship and even helping Mayapple take down Becky by telling Mayapple what she needs to do. Unfortunately, it was his former timeline self and not the latter that ascended, and while some villains shook their head in shame, other villains still treat him with respect as they still see him win over heroes with ease.
    • As of right now, he is still on good terms with the house, especially since the announcement that Crow is now offering his services to other villains for the higher bidder. Despite the fact that most villains really don't find his fee worthwhile, there are still a couple baddies that are willing to give out that much money for him.
• Crow has commissioned for the House of Villainy a villains museum to be opened up within said house, having it exist as a trophy case of the sorts for other villains to place souvenirs, relics and other memorable items about their own personal triumphs. Crow has an entire wing dedicated to his accomplishments.
  • Crow once sung about how the bad guy, more specifically, himself, will win. The House Of Villains has taken a liking to this and uses it as a rallying cry to motivate their members, placing it alongside the likes of Voltaire's "When You're Evil". While Crow was initially happy to see such a positive reaction, he was repulsed to find out that Darth Vader performed a Heel–Face Turn upon death, seeing how he referenced him as a villain within his song. He is on a more positive relationship with Mr. Burns and Kefka however, although he is thinking of potentially betraying Kefka should he grow too evil for his liking.
    • To Crow's dismay, Mettaton found out about a game show he once starred on, "Would You Date A Supervillain?" Even more embarrassing to Crow, Mettaton had it approved for the pantheon, allowing the show's original owner, Manfred Frowney, to come up to shoot the episodes with him, sometimes dragging Crow along to star as a bachelor.
  Crow: This is a absolute waste of my time...
• Crow actually once held a fundraiser to help get his first adventure off the ground. What makes his story more unique than others is that he actually managed to secure the last of his funds within the last hour of said fundraiser. It's because of this that other Kickstarter based heroes, like Shovel Knight and Shantae at least admire the story, even if he's something they both would go after if he's causing trouble.
  • Speaking of Shovel Knight, he seems to have some respect for Plague Knight, given that he was also a Villain Protagonist of his own side story to Shovel Knight's adventure alongside all of his explosive bombs, which also helps makes Plague Knight favorable in Crow's eyes. Even if Plague Knight becomes something of an Anti-Hero near the end of his adventure to the point he admits he really didn't want to Take Over the World, Crow can't really blame him as his dedication for his assistant, Mona, was what kicked his quest off to prove his love to her. Even though he often has to excuse himself to go gag in the bathroom after hearing of Plague Knight's love story, Crow and Plague Knight still remain vastly impressed by each other, though Plague Knight's new title has him fighting against Crow whenever he tries to kidnap princesses, not that they mind.
    • He also is very interested in Junkrat, Roadhog and Jinx due to a shared love of explosives, but the problem is that Crow builds too much machines for their liking, and add in the fact that they would rather just blow up things, this causes any attempt with Crow negotiating with them to end with him retreating and hoping they just blow themselves up.
• He crafted his own airship and inventions, ranging from death rays to giant robots. As such, he has gained the appreciation and awe of Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, to the point that he gets invited to their poker games, joining them alongside the likes of Mr. Burns. Also helps that as they were some of his inspiration for his weapons and machine's designs, he's willing to help them out with their threats of Sonic and Megaman for a discount fee. In return, Sonic and Mega Man detest Crow and are some of the first responders to any scene that has Crow stirring up trouble with either of them. Mega Man was especially unnerved by how similar Crow looks like a robot master.
  • He also has a fondness for Bowser, though Bowser doesn't like it when Crow tries to steal Peach or Daisy, even teaming up with the Mario Bros and even Rosalina should she be needed to get them back. That said, Peach can definitely see the similarities to him and Bowser, even inviting him out to go-karting and tennis matches, something Daisy is cool with while Rosalina is concerned by him. However, he sometimes has to be forced off the tennis court whenever he tries to attack the line judge.
  Crow: THAT BALL WAS IN LINE AND YOU KNOW IT!
• Due to how opposite his title is with the Professor's title from "Felix the Cat", he has tried to take the Professor underneath his wing, outright pitying him for not even scoring a single win over Felix, no matter how meaningless it may be. At least Dr. Eggman once won a carpet after tricking Sonic. So far, no progress what so ever has been achieved, mainly due to how new and powerful the Pantheon is to both geniuses.
• It's not just princesses he would capture, princes work just as well, though mostly if the princess in question is difficult to reign in. He once tried to kidnap the princesses from the My Little Pony universe, only to get ran out by being blasted with magic by Celestia and Luna, and he's not willing to divulge into the damages that him trying to kidnap Princess Twilight caused.
  • He once tried to kidnap Zelda, only to get fought back by not only Zelda herself, but also Link, all of their allies within the Pantheon, and even Ganondorf himself. Crow has since decided it would be best to bring a whole army next time he decides to kidnap her.
• Apparently has a fondness for dragons, saying that they are cool, and thus, the House of Dragons is one of the few places Crow has no real plan for invading or conquering. Also helps that Bowser's temple is in here, having this place be an optimal location for him to invite other villains to play poker with.
  Crow: Who doesn't like dragons? Crazy people!
• He also especially likes the House of Explosives, and frequently challenges The Soldier and Demoman to an explosive jumping contest. The trio sees each other as rivals and are constantly attempting to jump the highest with their explosives. Doesn't stop them from going out and drinking once it's all done.
  • On the other hand, he views the House of Anti-Heroism to be disgusting, reminding him of his great grandfather who was an Anti-Hero, considering him the black sheep of the family. Likewise, he isn't against waging a fight or two against the house. And of course, he's straight up banned from the House of Heroism, but not that it stops him from bursting open a hole to invade them and to take a screenshot with him and his wanted poster within the house, and if he has enough time, scare Morgana (who is afraid of crows) with his presence and crow emblem he has.
• Similarly, he is confused as with why so many nice deities want to befriend him. He has since grown annoyed with the House of Friendship and Camaraderie and Hall of Joy and Happiness especially for going out of their way to befriend him so many times. Upon hearing of a new ascension, the Blorg commonality decided to attempt to befriend him and him troops. Needless to say, Crow and his army were forced back into his temple where they held a last stand against the Blorgs, only managing to win the war thanks to Crow's inventions. As such, Crow tends to avoid the House of Aliens whenever it is possible.
  • He has, however, found an ally in Lord Hater and Commander Peepers, with the former reminding Crow a bit of himself, and with Peepers giving Crow a vibe of how his own assistant, Becky, is. Helps that they also are hounded by Wander and his quest to befriend them, especially after Wander caught wind of how Crow helped saved his world after he realized that he was going too far, like how Lord Hater saved his own universe from Lord Dominator after she was one planet away from total destruction. Crow outright feels sick whenever Wander considers him or Lord Hater a "hero".
  Crow: You are a pint-sized pain in my purple patoot.
• He's on less friendly terms with Ganondorf and Queen Sectonia, as he views the former as a creep who doesn't know how to enjoy himself (even if he is impressed by the title Ganon ascended under), and the latter as an ugly, overly exaggerated version of Princess Apodia, a bee princess that he got to know during the time he kidnapped her, angering Queen Sectonia to the point she has declared Crow an enemy to him and her kingdom. In all actuality, he's just flat out disgusted by their end goals and views them as a greater evil than him. While Crow has yet to step out onto the line to fight against Ganon, because of his new hatred for Queen Sectonia, Crow has started aiding Q-Bee in her fight against the evil queen, finding her to be much more comfortable to hang around with than their mutual enemy. He also wonders if this Bee would also be interested in treasure hunting.
  • On the topic of treasure hunting, he did form an alliance with Wario, teaming up with him to go treasure hunting from time to time around the Pantheon. That said, he does need to keep an eye on him to see if he tries to steal some of Crow's treasure. As of now, their gains from hunting for money are split 50/50, though time will tell if Wario will desire more.
• Despite all of his insistence that he's a villain, he does claim that he has a vision of a better world in mind. It's just that he believes that the best way of accomplishing this is by having the world acknowledge him as their leader, build golden statues of him and name a couple holidays after him. Brain and Pinky can certainly see where he's coming from right down to the both of them giving up their chance to take over the world just to please their friends, even if Crow insists he isn't friends with the princesses he kidnaps, and are currently trying to strike a deal with him to help him Take Over the World. So far, they are negotiating between how they should split the world. Right now, they are at 25%/75%, with the 25% being all the land the Brain will control while Crow controls all of the oceans in the world. Crow's hoping to reach a better deal along the lines of favoring him with a 70%/30% deal.
• He once tried to kidnap one of Kirby's friends, mistaking her for a princess◊. Meta Knight◊ and Kirby◊ quickly put an end to it, even if Kirby accidentally gained Crow's powers◊ and desire to kidnap.
  • While Kirby and Meta Knight don't like him because of this incident, Meta Knight has especially grew a dislike for him, especially as how powerful he can become should he truly act evil, let alone his airship that can prove damaging with Orbital Strikes. He's relieved for now to see that Crow lost his airship after it was shot down by Tephora, but is still watching Crow to ensure he doesn't do too much damage, stepping in when needed.
    • On the other hand, Crow doesn't view the Power Rangers as anything serious, considering how he met a similar group called The Treble Rangers, right down to the color coordination. Unfortunately for Crow, this group is noticeably more powerful than the Treble Rangers, and Crow since started having various machines on standby to even stand a chance against them.
• Several members of the Pantheon have pointed out how similar Crow was to Mao, Zetta, Laharl and Etna. In order from most favorable to least favorable...
  • He admires at how villainous Zetta is and secretly admires how protective he is of her future daughter and anyone who reminds him of her (who in turn reminds Crow a bit of Princess Farrah Day), to the point of helping him out at times to the point he sometimes has to babysit her...
  • Crow finds Laharl to be another fellow evil-doer to the point he insists that they both really are evil...
  • He wants to help Mao research this "Power Of The Cosmos" to harness the full power of them...
  • And finally, wishes to keep as far away from Etna as possible after a snide comment about cup size.
• Crow was selected to be the final boss of a tournament featuring other indie game characters. Those who get to the final round must face him on the deck of his airship. Anyone that did face him said he was actually quite tough, despite what one might think.
• "HEROES ALWAYS LOSE!"

SCP-2006

SCP-2006, The God Who's More Dangerous Than He Seems (Too Spooky)

SCP-2006 in the form of Ro-Man.

• SCP-2006, also known as Too Spooky, is a strange choice for a Keter-class SCP. It wishes to scare people for the fun of it, and can shapeshift into people's fears. However it takes the form of "scary" movie figures considered So Bad, It's Good and Nightmare Retardant. It seems Safe if anything. But this is only because SCP-2006 is tricked into thinking they're scary. It can still transform into just about anything, it just needs the knowledge to do so.
• One of the most restricted gods in the Pantheon, due to its shapeshifting powers having no limits. No-one wants this thing to learn true terror like the horror of war, nuclear annihilation or worse. If information does get out, the Men in Black try to use neuralizers to suppress that information. The Grand United Alliance of Evil is working to break out SCP-2006 and show it how to really be scary, which the Grand United Alliance of Good considers high priority to stop and keep it ignorant.
• Of the houses it is banned, the House of Dread and Valor does their best to keep it from entering. While it can't go into that house, members of that house can still visit him. Spooky has become one of its few allies, as she feels bad that like herself SCP-2006 has difficulty scaring people despite really wanting to. Also they have "Spooky" in their names. Thankfully it didn't get the memo of its forms being Nightmare Retardant, but appreciated a fellow scarer.
• Erma has been seen being friendly with SCP-2006. The authorities have warned her to PLEASE not show it how to be scary and instead try and mimic her.
• Both Sinestro and Pitch Black see enormous potential despite the SCP Foundation trying to cover it, Sinestro in particular wishes to harness that potential as a member of the Sinestro Corps. He's managed to get as far as giving SCP-2006 a test ring, though for now it states it prefers to show off what it can do naturally.
• Pennywise seems at best annoyed and at worst disgusted with SCP-2006. It has the potential to be just as dangerous, if not more than itself, but is blinded to think otherwise. It considers it's Affably Evil nature a limiting factor as well. H.P Lovecraft finds Too Spooky rather disappointing given it comes from a series known for horrifying Lovecraftian monsters.
• Kept out of the House of Knowledge to make sure it doesn't catch on, or Otherness so it doesn't think to mimic the different monsters there. Mike and Sulley believe it has the potential to supply both laughs and fears, however, they're staying far away from it since it can't be trusted or expected to be a Punch-Clock Villain and simply frighten/humor children.
• Sees B-Movie horror schlock as effect scares. It came to Ed Wood and congratulated the human on being truly terrifying, believing him to be a great horror director. The other horror directors wisely avoided it, and Ed Wood feigned gratitude. The two have formed an Odd Friendship, coming to enjoy each other's company in B-movie night. This has become a hobby of it. The MST3K crew try their best not to riff these movies in his presence.
• One of the few beings frightened by SCP-2006 despite its narmy forms is Billy. Giant spiders are often seen in B-movies, and despite transforming into a bad rubber spider prop it was enough to trigger his arachnophobia and smash with chairs. The SCP Foundation has considered using Billy as part of the containment procedure.
• Its true nature is unknown, but Remus Lupin speculates it to be an incredibly powerful boggart. He made the mistake of encountering SCP-2006, who turned into his greatest fear of the Moon. As in, the actual "over a quarter the diameter of Earth" Moon. A Colony Drop was only narrowly avoided by the combined efforts of the House of Space and Cosmos, and Gru's shrink ray being borrowed. It decided to return to "normal" when informed that if it crushed everyone as the Moon, there'd be no people to scare.
• Finn sought to stop it, having managed to overcome his fears by slaying the Fear Feaster. SCP-2006's response was to transform into the Lich. Finn barely managed to beat it in this form, and had to be convinced that the Lich was very funny instead of the freaking Lich to re-contain it. The actual Lich hasn't dignified this with a response, only remarking he finds the SCP "pathetic".
• Naturally it is opposed by Hal Jordan due to being an entity who seeks to frighten people. However, his constructs have yet to put SCP-2006 down, nor anything the SCP Foundation has used. There's no known way to damage this monster.
• There's a good chance that enough information has been leaked for SCP-2006 to realize what is truly scary, and he's just humoring people. He may have been aware of this from the start, and is playing the SCP Foundation.

Lesser Gods

Scourge

Scourge, God of New Threats that Upstage Old Ones (Tiny)

• Symbol: His dog tooth-studded collar
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: Final Boss, Small But Dangerous, The Dreaded, Was Once A Cute Kitten, Spikes of Villainy, The Cain to Firestar's Abel, Social Darwinist, All Too Happy to Betray Tigerstar, Psycho for Hire, Popular Enough To Get His Own Spinoff, Debuts In The Last Book of the First Arc, Dragon Ascendant, Becoming the Mask, Leader and Founder of BloodClan, Bad Boss, Revenge

• Enemies: Firestar (his half-brother), Bluestar, Jayfeather, Bastet, Simba, Mufasa, Azula, Emperor Calus, Chen, the House of Religion and Faith, all Older Sibling Bullies in the Pantheon
• Before he became the bloodthirsty and psychotic maniacal leader of BloodClan, Scourge was a kitten named "Tiny" who dreamed of adventuring in the forest, and was on the receiving end of bullying by his siblings. Eventually, one day he ran away from owner into the forest, only to be viciously attacked by a young Tigerstar, then known as Tigerpaw. Tiny then escaped to the city, where he slowly but surely started gaining followers whilst adopting a "survival of the fittest" mentality, eventually forming BloodClan and taking up the name "Scourge".
• Eventually, one day he reunited with Tigerstar, then leader of ShadowClan. While Scourge recognized Tigerstar, the latter didn't recognize Scourge as the kit he once attacked long ago, though Scourge didn't give any indication of this. He accepted Tigerstar's offer to join the newly formed TigerClan, but had no intention of fulfilling it. Eventually, shortly after learning of Tigerstar's crimes, Scourge took the opportunity to turn on him and seize power for himself, killing all of Tigerstar's nine lives in one blow. However, several days later, he fought Firestar in battle, and while he managed to take one of Firestar's lives in battle, the latter killed Scourge upon revival, bringing an end to BloodClan and Scourge's reign of terror.
• Upon his ascension, Scourge went from house to house recruiting followers and allies in hopes of rebuilding BloodClan, and has gained allies in deities such as Scar, though it doesn't do him much good that most of the deities in the Pantheon aren't cats. He was also surprised to learn that he and Firestar were parenteral half-brothers, and tried to use this opportunity to recruit Firestar to his cause. Obviously, Firestar knew better than to trust Scourge, and the two have remained enemies ever since.
  • He has also gained an enemy in Bluestar, as for her, he tried to destroy the Clans, while he simultaneously blames her for not doing more in trying to stop Tigerpaw from attacking him back when he was a kitten, for which she was present for, but didn't approve of.
• Some of the more kinder-hearted deities of the Pantheon took pity upon him for his less-than-stellar childhood and a few of them even tried to convince him to give up his evil ways, only to witness for themselves how unrepentantly evil Scourge is, and how he has taken up permanent residence beyond the Moral Event Horizon. From that point on, any deity on the side of good with a shred of intelligence has had the foresight to avoid convincing Scourge to make a Heel–Face Turn, and that just because he had a troubled past doesn't mean any of the actions he committed are justified in any way, and that beneath that malevolent yet calm exterior lies an equally rotten and psychotic cat.
• He won over deities like Starscream and Teridax for his subjugation and subsequent murder of Tigerstar, with the latter actually being fascinated by how brutal the act of murder itself was, and the former for doing it successfully and actually winning for a brief period of time. Of course, whatever alliances they all formed between each other have little to no chance of lasting, given all of their reputations. They're all well aware of this, too, so whoever succeeds in their schemes will have to be Crazy-Prepared to the point of insanity.
• Despite being a blood-thirsty despot, he despises any sibling in the Pantheon who bullies their own siblings, since he was the victim of his own siblings' bullying when he was a kit. That being said, there have been multiple instances of him turning a blind eye towards siblings in BloodClan bullying each other, and in some cases even encouraged it, due to the Social Darwinist culture found within BloodClan. He has been called out on this behavior by numerous deities, though like always, he cares very little for their opinion on his actions.
• He and Gus Fring have a mutual respect for each other, and share many traits in common, such as their Tranquil Fury, ruthlessness, and desire for Revenge. However, even Gus thinks that Scourge is too nasty and too psychotic at times, with his bloodlust putting Fring off on numerous occasions.
• Emperor Calus despises him for wanting to turn the world into another Darwinist wasteland, whereas as Calus wants to create a hedonistic paradise. Scourge also reminds Calus of his previous protégée Ghaul, who like Scourge, was once an innocent youth who gave in to evil and darkness.
• His lack of faith in StarClan, his universe's equivalent of Heaven, puts him at odds with a number of deities in the House of Faith.
• He believes that blood is everything. Except it isn't in the way you might think, and it only further demonstrates how monstrous he is inside.
  "Oh, yes. Blood is everything. But the only blood I'm interested in flows from my enemies. Look around you! These cats are bathed in blood. It soaks their fur and laps at their paws. We are BloodClan!"

Tai Lung

Tai Lung, God of Meaningless Villainous Success (The Real Dragon Warrior, Chi Stopper Tai Lung, Chorh-Gom Cuffs Tai Lung)

• Allies: The Shredder, Azula, Jagi, Loki, Frost.
• Rivals: Adon, Ryuji Yamakazi, Thouzer, Shan-Yu.

• Pitied by: Zuko, Shoto Todoroki, Anakin Skywalker, Amethyst, Professor Venomous.
• Orphaned through unknown means and left at the doorstep of the Jade Palace, Tai Lung was taken in by Shifu and trained under him at a young age after showing a natural affinity for Kung Fu. Wishing to please his father, he wanted the Dragon Scroll, and was denied by Master Oogway because of his growing arrogance and darkness. Outraged, he ravaged the Valley and tried to take it by force, only to be defeated and immobilized by Oogway when Shifu hesitated to fight his son. He was then imprisoned in Chorh-Gom Prison for twenty years, restrained with a special chi-blocking suit until he escaped using the feather of a goose messenger sent by Shifu to his prison, after his escape Oogway would then ascend into the Spirit Realm, leaving Shifu alone to train Po to defeat Tai Lung and to find inner peace, though the Furious Five tried to stop him and were unsuccessful. Once he reached the Jade Temple, Tai Lung confronted Shifu, furious at not only being denied the Scroll but the feeling that Shifu abandoned him after he was sent to jail. Shifu almost got Tai Lung to relent from his evil ways by apologizing for everything, but Tai Lung decided to keep going on his quest for the Scroll and after almost killing Shifu was confronted by a now trained Po which he fought against, eventually getting the scroll he desired. However, the scroll's true meaning of believing in one-self was lost to Tai Lung, who then went on to be defeated by the Dragon Warrior and then finished off with the Wuxi Finger Hold.
• After he was defeated by Po through the Wuxi Finger Hold, nobody knew what happened to him with many sources giving conflicting reports, some stating that he was merely beaten into submission and sent back to jail only to break out, gain an army of soldiers and try to enact revenge, others said he was outright killed and others merely had him defeated but escaping and swearing to return. However, after the attack of Kai the Collector in his home universe happened, it was finally found out that he was ultimately sent to the Spirit Realm by the Wuxi Finger Hold, as proven by him being one of Kai's many Chi amulets. Once Kai was defeated in the mortal realm, Tai Lung returned to the Pantheon, with a bruised ego and even more resentment against Po for being the one to defeat the Spirit Warrior.
  • Accompanying Tai Lung's ascension was a large army of crocodile, gorilla, ox and wolf bandits that Tai Lung had gathered in alternate universes to serve him, this army known as the Lang Shadow Army are very loyal to Tai Lung and though they rarely are required for Lung to do his business, they will no doubt jump into helping their boss in battles where he's outnumbered or apparently outmatched. Serving as his Co-Dragons are the Wu Sisters, infamous criminals in the main Kung Fu Panda universe who serve as his lieutenants in alternate ones.
• Many wondered how Tai Lung lost to Po, especially considering that Po was nowhere near as skilled or strong as either of the Furious Five or Shifu who Tai Lung defeated. Eventually it was seen that Tai Lung's loss was a result of many factors working against him and most of them being acts of his own doing that wore him down to a point that Po was able to defeat him in their short final brawl. Tai Lung has awaited a rematch with Po, eager to prove himself the superior warrior, though Po's mastery of Chi and increasing skill and strength have forced Tai Lung to seek out any powerful technique he can use to overcome Po.
  • He also isn't on good terms with any of the Jade Palace masters, the Furious Five still won't forget his attacks against the Valley of Peace and his defeat of them in their battle at the bridge. As for Oogway, Tai Lung still heavily resents him for denying him the Dragon Scroll and the praise he felt he deserved; the reveal of the Scroll's nature as a blank object did little to reduce Tai Lung's hatred for the turtle, as he perceives the entire fiasco as a mockery of Oogway's. Oogway himself feels ashamed that Tai Lung still has not understood what the Dragon Scroll really means, and won't oppose about repeating his immobilizing strikes should he be forced to.
  • Other Kung Fu Panda villains weren't high on opinions with him. He detests Lord Shen for his attempts at destroying Kung Fu and conquering China with his army, as while he's an aggressive warrior who cares little about other people, he does not want Kung Fu destroyed and also does not want anyone taking over China, as he wants to eventually prove his worth to the Emperor and become the hero he feels he's always deserved of being, though Shen himself is not on Tai Lung's league of skill, his cannons do make him a formidable threat to the snow leopard. There's also the little possibility that Shen might've hunted his kind down as snow leopards were also black-and-white like pandas. As for Kai, that Tai Lung was one of his many victims did not sit well with him and has branded Kai as possibly his most hated enemy outside of the Jade Palace occupants, wanting to get revenge on the spirit warrior for defeating and enslaving him.
• His nerve strike techniques is a bane for martial artists and benders, especially the latter as it blocks their chi which prevents them from bending and moving. That Tai Lung has physical strength far beyond almost anyone of that Universe in addition to decades of training makes him quite a deadly foe even with a lack of powers beyond his strength achieved through training, this also earned him enmity from Ty Lee who is able to employ a similar technique but isn't a bad guy herself. For this reason he also made an enemy of another chi-blocker, Hinata Hyuga, whose clan specialize on striking pressure points but while Hinata is benevolent and kind, Tai Lung is cruel and arrogant, leading to her disliking the snow leopard warrior.
• There are some accounts of villains who accomplished their goals only to gain little to no value. For example, Eggman hosted a World Grand Prix and he achieved getting a rare treasure, but he only found a flying carpet which is worthless when compared to the modern Gears, this earned him some sympathy from Tai Lung, even if the snow leopard found himself confused by the concepts from a more advanced age he only recently began to know about.
  • Another deity with a similar fate was Ganondorf who tricked Link and Zelda into leading him into the Sacred Realm and the Triforce. However, when he touched it and he was not perfectly balanced in virtue, he only possesses the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom were given to Link and Zelda, respectively eventually leading to his defeat. Ganondorf has at times offered an alliance to Tai Lung, but since the snow leopard views himself as the hero of his own story, refusing to acknowledge his selfishness, he declined.
• Tai Lung's rejection from being The Chosen One has caused him to greatly resents those who are chosen, especially (but not limited to) Po. Other Chosen Wannabes in the Pantheon weren't sympathetic to him despite having had similar goals: Wyldstyle who desired to be Virtruvius' Chosen One learned a valuable lesson that Tai Lung didn't: That she could be a "Chosen One" by being herself and saving the day through her merits rather than through some legend of greatness; similarly Kai of the Elemental Masters of Ninjago once desired to be the Green Ninja even nearly performing reckless actions to be it but relented once he found out that Lloyd Garmadon was the one who would become that; Tai Lung also formed an enmity with the other Elemental Masters as one of their former enemies, Morro, was also a chosen wannabe who went off the deep end after being denied his "destiny" as The Green Ninja.
• His struggles with self-loathing, seeking approval from his father and having his entire self-esteem and life ruined by Shifu's blunders at parenting and teaching earned him sympathy in comparison to many other Arrogant Kung Fu Guys, many deities have made a point that while Tai Lung was indeed an arrogant warrior who rejected redemption, he nonetheless wasn't wrong about his gripes with Shifu and the Dragon Warrior title that his adoptive father made him think he would get no matter what and then from his point of view abandoned him in shame of his failures leaving him to rot for 20 years in jail without even visiting him or trying to make amends. Among these deities was Zuko, who himself suffered from his father straight-up abusing him and making his life hell which caused the young prince to look for any way to earn his approval, despite Tai Lung being a bit of an opposite in his development as a person.
  • Shoto Todoroki also sympathetized with Tai Lung over this as his father, Endeavor, forced his dreams of becoming the Number 1 Superhero since he developed his Quirk and made his life hell as a result, causing Todoroki to greatly resent his father and refuse to associate with him (though they've been making amends lately). Todoroki was very disgusted to hear about Shifu not visiting Tai Lung in the 20 years that he was imprisoned in Chorm-Gom, even rationalizing that Tai Lung could have turned back to good if Shifu hadn't just tried to burrow his past out of shame for what he made his son into.
  • Loki is the adopted son of Odin and has suffered time and time again for his true heritage and became a villain as a result of ambition stemmed from a belief that he'll never get to rule Asgard and resenting his brother Thor. Loki sympathized with Tai Lung's plight and entire motivation, even sadly noting how not so different they are in regards to how their fathers (no matter how much they truly loved them both) treated them in regards to expectations and once both went rogue and turned to evil.
  • Just like her brother, Azula suffered deeply because of the perception that her mother didn't love her and that she had to do everything she could to earn the favor her father, Ozai. She was quite saddened to hear about how Shifu all but abandoned Tai Lung when the latter was sent to prison, remembering how her own mother ran off and made a new identity and life for herself (though it was to get away from Ozai) without considering hers and Zuko's feelings and leaving her burdened with self-loathing and craving outside validation.
• Frost was another student who felt disappointed and betrayed by her master. Many didn't expect them to become allies due to their outward egos, however, their understanding over feeling let down by their masters and denied a title they believed rightfully belonged to them allowed them to get along. Both have plotted to help the other in enacting their personal revenge and have even began trading a few of their secret techniques so as to grow stronger and deadlier.
• Jagi is another skilled martial artist who found himself shunned by his master and then were driven to a jealous rage. Jagi and Tai lung become allies over their perception of life being unfair to them and what they considered should've been theirs being denied despite their hard work. Jagi has even tried to help Tai Lung master the Hokuto Shinken, telling him that the special martial arts form can help him in achieving his personal revenge not just on Shifu but also on Po for defeating him.
• He's found his fair share of rivals in the Pantheon, one of the first was Thouzer, a deadly martial artist who like him had a traumatic past shape his eventual decision in the future to become evil and corrupted far from his promising start as a hero, however Thouzer was fond of his master before his death and did get to gain what he desired from his training, unlike the snow leopard. The two fought with Thouzer emerging victorious thanks to his deadly Nanto Ho-Oh Ken and further prompting Tai Lung to train more to become stronger.
  • Ryuji Yamakazi and Adon also became his rivals, to a much lesser extent. While he does take Ryuji more seriously due to his aggressive and pragmatic fighting style making the demented fighter a rather harder fight for Tai Lung than most others. As for Adon, his arrogance and vanity really struck a nerve with Tai Lung who did not tolerate anyone boasting of being stronger than him and repeatedly claiming it, though Adon was ultimately defeated by Tai Lung, the arrogant Adon has not stopped in trying to continue their rivalry and Tai Lung is eager to continue it himself.
• Due to his status as a ruthless martial artist with a massive ego, he made enemies with the more honorable martial artists in the Pantheon. Among his first enemies was practically the entire House of Martial Arts, as Tai Lung is utterly disrespectful and ignorant of the true meaning of martial arts besides the physical strength part. Other enemies included Ryu, a honorable warrior and master of many arts who found the way Tai Lung went about things to be wrong and especially that his rage and ego made him a disgrace to martial artists in general, even if he feels pity for how his own obsession with the Dragon Scroll and Shifu's approval shaped him into the villain he is nowadays.
• His obsession with being The Chosen One and attaining power to make up for his insecurities is ultimately what brought Tai Lung's entire reputation as a hero and eventually his life as a whole down. This got him pity from Anakin Skywalker and Professor Venomous, who both nearly lost everything in their selfish pursuit of power and prestige which they felt they never had. Anakin even said that he could understand Tai Lung's frustration in regards to being denied something that he felt he deserved after a lifetime of training, as Anakin himself was enraged when the Jedi Council denied him the title of Jedi Master in spite of his many accomplishments and becoming a member of the Council.
• Shredder/Oroku Saki was also a power-hungry warrior who was denied something he desired and went off the deep end because of it, in one world Shredder lost the position of head of the ancient Foot Clan to Hamato Yoshi, ultimately driving Shredder to try and kill Yoshi and eventually succeed at becoming the Foot Clan's leader and starting a criminal empire with it. The two martial artists enjoy an amicable alliance over their personalities and have even began training with one another and making their armies cooperate to try and defeat their mortal enemies.
• Another enemy that he envied was Malekith. As the deformed warrior was once after the position of the King of the High Elves and as underestimated, ignored and manipulated into giving in to his jealously and hatred to try and take the title by force which failed and got him singed and deformed for it. However, Malekith later on turned out to be the rightful King all along and now enjoys his position. Tai Lung really hates that Malekith got to ultimately get and enjoy what he sought for so long while he bit the dust for his troubles instead.
• In the mortal realm he has a nephew named Peng, who went looking for him some time after his defeat. Tai Lung was surprised to hear this as he had never known his biological family himself, but was frustrated to hear that when Peng attempted to avenge his death, Po managed to talk him down and eventually keep his nephew interested in Kung Fu while not following in his footsteps. Though he hasn't had time to see his nephew, currently serving as one of Po's heralds, he nonetheless plans to do so one day, hoping to find out more about his biological family and where he came from. Some deities have even pointed out that this particular scenario makes him not so different from Po, whose biological family he only met later in his own life but Tai Lung does not appreciate the comparisons.

• Complicated Relationship with: Eliza Thornberry, the female Meowth
• Annoys: The Black Tri-Stars
• Opposes: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
• Opposed by: The Trix, Clu
• Pitied by: Shuichi Saihara
• Fears: Jigglypuff
• They blast off at the speed of light, and kindly ask that their opponents surrender or prepare to fight. The opponents always choose the latter… and win… most of the time.
• They infiltrate the House of Beasts and Fauna daily to try to steal Pikachu. However, they're always quickly expelled. They swear that someday they'll succeed in their efforts, but nobody takes them seriously.
  • Their blasting off has become less common ever since they caught the attention of a wild Bewear, who would pull off incredible feats to save them whenever they end up in trouble.
• Have since become surprisingly competent, they lost one of their positions, but due to their newfound power, they flew off on jetpacks, and stole the empty temple and remade it so they would only be gods of the Terrible Trio. Giovanni is much more pleased with them.
• Like Jack Spicer, they idolize and worship Melkor.
• Despite being only Quasideities, they also have their sights on taking down Ghetsis Harmonia, since he represents Team Plasma, a rival Pokémon villain team. After all, they figure there can be only one Pokémon villain team represented in the Pantheon, and that's Team Rocket. They're willing to work with Ash and Pikachu in order to do so, just so that no one else besides them can steal Pikachu and partly because deep down they care about the twerp.
  • With the ascension of Team Flare's Lysandre in the House of Hatred, their goal of becoming the only Pokémon villain team has gotten more difficult. However, they know Ghetsis and Lysandre have mutual disgust/hatred for each other, so the trio are plotting a way to get those two to outright fight each other.
• Whenever the trio come across someone (other than Brock) with the eyes concealed, especially by a blindfold (whether it be Rider, Raiden, or even Mega Absol), James and Meowth would lock into fear, and would do whatever it takes to get the hell away from them, much to Jessie's annoyance. This originated from their total fear of Riku because of how he used a blindfold to suppress the darkness within him, and took on the form of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, whenever he took it off. Oddly enough, they still fear him even after learning that he can no longer suffer the negative effects of darkness.
  • The fear got more intense when Riku and Absol teamed up as per the partnership program, since Absol is one of the few Pokémon they would never go after. However, Jessie is still unfazed, causing James and Meowth to compare her behavior to the time where she tried to steal an Electrike (which evolved into a Manectric almost right away), despite their objections.
  • James and Meowth also gained a fear towards Sora, as the first time the trio ever encountered him awake, he was in his Halloween Town outfit. Meowth described him as even more scarier than Jessie's Mimikyu.
• On the subject on the self-proclaimed members of Team Rocket Annie and Oakley, the trio speculated that the reason the sisters call themselves Team Rocket members is because they are an inspiration for the two (many believe that their thinking is skewed towards boosting their image in the House). While the three of them are happy that even with their repeated failures they got fans, they do have a distaste for their accidental murder of a Pokémon. Stealing Pokémon is one thing, but they draw the line on killing them.
• James is glad that Jessebelle, the woman his parents are trying to force him to marry, isn't in the pantheon. Of course, he still fears the day that she'll learn of his godhood and try to ascend herself.
• Despite talking and walking like a human, Meowth is still a proud Pokémon and as such he has nothing but contempt against the recently ascended pig Napoleon, who is a complete hypocrite about it.
• Alongside Ash, Pikachu, Misty and Brock, they are expressly banned from Cyberspace in the wake of a certain incident.
• They tend to avoid Red when they can, especially since in his timeline, he single-handedly defeated the entirety of Team Rocket and even forced their boss Giovanni to disband it after defeating him.
• Is seen hanging out with Guzma. He likes how they became members of Team Rocket to better themselves, much like how Guzma founded Team Skull to better himself and terrible trainers. But, despite having stolen Pokémon himself, he refuses to help them steal Pokémon, saying how he's past that now.
• Ditto has a habit of protecting itself from Team Rocket without the need of Ash, Pikachu, or any other trainer. There have been cases where it would transform into a Skitty or Purloin to fool Meowth into falling in love, or a Smoochum to trigger Jessie's Cuteness Proximity. It's currently trying to look for James' weakness (which is Jessebelle, a woman his parents are forcing him to marry).
• They don't like Butch Cassidy (and to an extent his partner Sundance) for reminding them of their in-corporation rivals Butch and Cassidy.
• The Trix are not on the best of terms with Team Rocket, who recognize them as being far eviler than they will ever be. Jesse in particular tends to try to get into fights with them, with James and Meowth holding her back.
• The Doronbo Gang managed to find a lot in common with Jesse, James, and Meowth to the point of befriending each other. Both trios often rely on ridiculous schemes in order to appease their boss and often fail in doing so despite having some inspired moments every now and then. What Doronjo found interesting about the Team Rocket trio was that whenever they made attempts to do heroics, they managed to get a better track record in such compared to doing evil deeds. In some way, this brought to mind Doronjo’s desire of wanting to live a normal life outside of villainy and the Team Rocket trio has given the Doronbo Gang some advice on an assortment of subjects. Even Team Yatterman became aware of the comparisons between the Team Rocket trio and the Doronbo Gang after learning about Team Rocket as a whole, especially after thwarting one plan that both Doronbo and Team Rocket came up with together.
• Wishes to go after Mew, specifically Jessie. This comes from a personal vendetta; her mother died trying to capture it. It doesn't seem to know this, and has no interest in even one more strand of his DNA being in their possession.
• Interestingly despite how most Pokémon feel about Team Rocket, Chansey is rather soft towards Jessie; back in the day Jessie tried to fill the role of a Chansey, leading to her bonding with the species. Nurse Joy will still have Chansey help defeat Jessie in order to stop any of her criminal escapades, but outside of that they're friendly.
• More recently, Thompson and Thomson were assigned to find and apprehend Team Rainbow Rocket's leader Giovanni, along with all those associated with his villainous schemes. Their investigation has led the two crossing paths with a trio of Team Rocket grunts on the run. Upon realizing who the three worked for, the Thom(p)sons gave chase, with the Rockets giving them the literal slip and escaping in their hot-air balloon. Since that first encounter, Thompson and Thomson have kept their eyes out for any suspicious activities from Team Rocket, along with the other evil teams they're associated with.
• Are good friends with the Hyenas, by virtue of being another ostensibly evil trio that has a certain goal in mind, but fails more often than not in achieving it.
• Along with Ash Ketchum and his friends, Team Rocket had to put up with a Jigglypuff during their travels at numerous points in time. That particular Jigglypuff gets angry because it assumes that the people who fall asleep during its song are mocking it, so that Jigglypuff retaliates by drawing on their faces with its marker (which doubles as a microphone). While Ash doesn’t seem to have any bad blood against that Jigglypuff nowadays, the Team Rocket trio tend to be a victim of Jigglypuff’s shenanigans quite a bit to the point that they try to avoid it whenever they’re in a bad spot. What isn’t helping the Team Rocket trio is that the Jigglypuff in the Pantheon is a bit more dangerous than the one they’ve put up with prior.
• The Team Rocket Meowth belongs to the same species of Pokémon as the deity that represents Japanese Cats of Fortune, but she is the "average" sort of Meowth that can't talk. The trade-off seems to be that she does know Pay Day, the species' signature move, which Team Rocket's Meowth is jealous of. They don't have anything against each other, and sometimes will join in spoils if it involves shiny things. She is sad to have seen him try so hard to get a girl and be rejected, and plans to be nice to him.
• Could only express shock when they crossed paths with Bewear, recognizing her as the same Pokémon who acted as their caretaker, before expressing joy at seeing her again. While Bewear did kidnap them in the first place, the Trio made the most of it and used her den as a base of operations, growing to care for her and her Stufful. They had parted ways eventually, but on the best of terms, with Bewear actually sending them to Kanto herself. Bewear is also happy to see her friends again in the Pantheon, though she will still get in the way if the trio tries to steal Pikachu again.
• In terms of schemes and dynamics, the Moriarity that Sherlock Hound has clashed with seems to be more comparable to the Team Rocket trio than the wolf’s own namesake. After Jesse, James, and their Meowth went into hiding after stealing some valuables to be given to their boss, Hound was on the case and gave chase to the trio after being driven out of their hideout. Thanks to Hound, the trio was blasting off again and their stolen items were returned to their original owners. However, it wasn’t the last time Hound heard of Team Rocket in the Pantheon as he was told Jesse, James, and their Meowth were just members of a larger crime syndicate whose leader is no laughing matter. Hound has kept that information in mind should another crime related to them head his way.
• Spike of Ape Escape also antagonizes Team Rocket, given that they steal Pokémons for their nefarious purposes, not to mention that Jessie sounds like a distorted Natalie.
• While as a detective, Shuichi Saihara is dedicated to protecting people and seeking the truth, he bears little ill-will towards criminals that are not completely depraved. He understands that most of the time, people are pushed towards committing crimes because of their circumstances and because they think they have no better choices. He particularly pities the Team Rocket trio even as he works to stop their attempts to steal rare creatures because it's clear that the people they hurt most with their crimes are themselves. It doesn't help that he thinks Jessie sounds kinda like him.
• Since their usual role is to be a pair of comedic henchmen, Bebop and Rocksteady got along with other evil or formerly evil henchmen duos or squadrons (particularly more inefficient ones). Especially Team Rocket who tend to serve as a comedic contrast to their serious bosses and who often end up being easily thwarted by Ash Ketchum and his many companions (the "twerps" as they call them), Bebop and Rocksteady have been pretty critical of the Rockets' inability to actually carve a proper path of success given that they're much better at being good than bad and unlike Bebop and Rocksteady, for the most part, have been unable to fully realize this.
• Despite his black heart, William Hand/Black Hand has a fondness for Team Rocket. Given he was a joke villain, he can get where they're coming from. It's a very awkward and Odd Friendship, and they consider him the Omnicidal Maniac The Friend Nobody Likes, but it is one of the only things about the living he values.
• After yet another disastrous attempt to capture Pikachu, Team Rocket thought they had the perfect machine to drain electricity. This time around, they wanted to test it on a newcomer. Lum Invader was the target, and they were initially successful. But when she found out that her boyfriend got hurt in the battle, she proceeded to break out in a matter of seconds. The machine exploded and Team Rocket blasted off once more.
