• In Superman's Rogues Gallery, you will never find someone with the phenomenal cosmic powers tied with a sense of whimsy and playfulness as you will with Mister Mxyzptlk. A jester and magical imp from the Fifth Dimension on the planet Zrfff, he's typicall just jester, a comedian and everyman on his home turf.. But due to the 5th dimension's higher nature, he comes off as a god-like Reality Warper in the third dimension. Rather than anything outright evil like most of Superman's villains, he's content with pranking and messing with the Man of Steel. He can make the universe his clay but prefers to match wits with him by causing (relatively) harmless chaos. For a win condition, you have to get him him to say, spell, write, or otherwise communicate his own name backwards. So have him say "Ktlpzyxm" and he'll be gone for 90 days. He does have a sense of honor and respect behind his clownish behavior, making him more of a Friendly Enemy.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is relatively unique in that he isn't a specific version that ascended to the Trope Pantheon; all versions of the imp, unless specifically stated otherwise, are the same guy. His pestering of the Man of Steel spans the multiverse. Surprisingly, one mortal did the math and found this actually holds up. And because he can break the fourth wall with ease, he knows what the Trope Pantheon is. He came on his own accord to meet up and mess around with others, and there's no way he's gonna let Superman be where without him. Though Superman finds him annoying, they don't have much in the way of hard feelings and Mxy considers him his worthiest adversary. Second worthiest is Supergirl, who was a victim of his pranks during her early career. Some things he did include temporarily amping power levels up and removed her weakness to Kryptonite to humiliate Superman, depowered her, repowered her, lured her into a future century where everyone had been brainwashed into hating her, tried to get married to her (don't ask), banished her and Batgirl to other dimension and pretended to be her enemy Black Flame pretending be Supergirl as a part of a convoluted scheme to prank Superman and Batman (again, don't ask).
  • His relationship with Superman got a little strained when he was tricked by the mysterious Mr. Oz into being captured along with countless other heroes and villains. He figured Superman would rescue him once he stopped his regular visits, but when that didn't happen, he made his own escape and decided to steal Superman's son as his new best friend. To challenge Mxy's attempts, Superman challenged him to a game, where the winner gets to keep John. It was a back and forth contest where Mxy almost won several times, but ultimately the love of the Superfamily managed to merge his 2 halves back together and reclaim John. Mxy, as part of the game, agreed to go "far away" for a while, but he's fairly certain that Batmite and Gsptlsnz can keep him amused for now. And besides, he'd always be game for another game eventually.
• Where exactly Mr Mxyzptlk stands in the Fifth Dimension is often Depending on the Writer. In his original appearance, he was basically a nobody on Zrfff. Back in the Golden Age of Comics, his name was Mr Mxyztplk. He's got a bombshell of a wife in Ms Gsptlsnz, though as they're both higher dimensional shapeshifters they could just prefer those appearances. On that note, he thinks Roger and Jessica Rabbit are a cute couple. Originally it was suggested the Golden and Silver Age Mxy were counterparts though with the "all Mxys are the same guy" reveal it's possible this could be just "fifth-dimensional weirdness"...or maybe it's as simple as them being Mxy from different points in his timeline. Supes once managed to get to the Fifth Dimension and cause trouble for him on his home turf. He let Luthor use red kryptonite so long as he didn't reveal his involvement.
• Earlier in his timeline he used to be a serious minded researcher, but in order to complete a Stable Time Loop Young Justice they inspired within him a sense of humor via a Three Stooges bit. He was happy to meet them in the Trope Pantheon and thank them for the laughs. He's been experimenting with his look recently by looking like a Supreme Kai. The impish Glossyark attempted to mess with Mxyzptlk's timeline by getting two "temporally distinct" iterations to show up and cause chaos as he was feeling particularly impish. Present Mxyzptlk wasn't factored in and he ended up throwing a pie at Glossyark, before admitting what he was doing was Actually Pretty Funny. He likes to play games with him, with one being a gamble to be able to mess with Superman in his place. Glossyark always loses this because Mxyzptlk cheats by getting his even further future self's advice, but the former isn't away of that. The further future Mxyzptlk mentions he has something big in plan involving making Rick works with other Ricks and the Doctor work with their various incarnations, but he won't spoil what that entails.
  • The Golden Age Mxy, Mxyztplk, showed up next to the Beyonder, and challenged him to a reality bending game. To his confusion the Beyonder said he had met the imp, something that won't happen for quite some time in Mxy's personal timeline. Mxyztplk was intrigued at a being who's power was comparable to his own, however held disillusion with his power. Having a comparative equal to bounce off of was a relief to the Beyonder, though he grew a bit tired when he won most of the games he played. In Mxyztplk's defense, he's a lot younger than the Mxyzptlk who formally met the Beyonder some years back.
  • A future Mxyzptlk showed up about 10 years from his addition to the Trope Pantheon, and went back before his profile's rework to interfere with the DEATH BATTLE! between Rick and the Doctor. He took the form of his Arrowverse incarnation, but with a more accurate orange and purple ensemble and an aged, Silver Fox take on Peter Gadiot, summoning them to a planet inspired by Battleworld, modeled from notable settings in their universes. Introducing himself as "the Agate Guardian from beyond the Central Finite Curve", he would force them to work together if they're to navigate their way back to their portal gun and TARDIS respectively. The two actually worked close enough to get close to learning Mxy's true imp name, making him panic and go "all right, you guys win this round" and send them back with a priceless agate crystal for their troubles.
  • The current Mxyzptlk showed up next to Rick, having "gone on sabbatical" for 90 days before throwing the aforementioned pie at Glossyark. In actuality, Bugs did a routine of going "Ktlpzyxm! Mxyzptlk!" until the imp slipped up and said his name backwards. Since Rick just got back from dealing with future Mxy 0 by exploiting Cunningham's Law and ReversePsychology, except way smugger about it. 90 days later, Mxy showed up only for Rick to show gadget with letters on the screen showing the backwards letters of Mxy's name, and Mxy accidently read it After like the third time Mxy reappeared, he bemoaned how his shtick is getting old and predictable at that point. [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu He outsmarted the devil, he really should bring his A game by now.
• There are a few Mxys that are clearly not the same guy, but they're the exception rather than the rule and the main Mxyzptlk is well aware of their antics. Chiefly his Antimatter Universe counterpart Mixyezpitellik, a serious-minded and neatly dressed Reality Warper. He hates being compared to Mxyzptlk, calling him a "madcap imp". There's also a Bizarro Mxyzptlk made as a result of a Bizarro duplication ray, who's interested in creating order and usually pretty dour. Mxyzptlk jokes that they're somehow the same guy as only a Bizarro of him could be so humorless. Mr Mxyzptlk claims that Loki, Anansui and the Coyote are in fact just him under an alias but since he's from the DC Universe this is suspect. For what it's worth he gets along with Loki, seeing him as a kindred spirit if significantly more ambitious than him. The god of mischief decided to prank Thor by having Mxy disguise himself as Loki and the real Loki trying to "clear his name", keeping the act up until he gets bored and betrays him by working with his "imposter".
• Well aware of Marvel Comics, when he showed up Post-Crisis he initially went under the alias "Ben deRoy as a nod to the Beyonder. When the Beyonder ascended the two formally met (or more accurately the Beyonder met Mxy) and became friends since they enjoy playing with their phenomenal cosmic power. And yes, this is reference to the Genie. In the DC Universe, genies are often Fifth Dimensional imps, and his ilk have inspired other whimsical beings like leprechauns. He and the Genie enjoy stand up, however the Genie thinks Mxy can be a real jerk and while Mxyzptlk usually reverses the damage he does, he has killed. Still, he got a good chuckle over Mxyzptlk disguising himself as Iago and messing with Jafar by tempting him with great power only to put him in the Thousand And One Nights book and figure out how to get out. Afterwards he went after Hoopa and tried to test himself by summoning a bunch of legendaries and see if Hoopa Unbound can send them back with his rings. He's come to like the little scamp and decided to make another Pokemon his partner, that being the tricky and goofy Blacephalon.
• His true form is incomprehensible to third dimensional beings; being an imp is simply his preferred form to interact with them and not expose the Eldritch Abomination he really is. His true, secret imp name is unpronounceable...though the Joker would argue otherwise. Much like Rumpelstiltskin, knowing his true name gives you some power over him. The possible fae tried to get him in a deal spelling out his true name, but Mxy laughed saying "buddy, I like your trick but I don't need your name to make you do what I want. Don't worry though, it's not my style. Your little trick with Shrek, tricking him into It's a Wonderful Plot just by taking a day? Pretty clever trick". Said ogre would rather just ignore the imp, due to bad memories. This unpronounceable status is different to HIM, who's name isn't spoken more out of dread...or to get past the censors. HIM and Mr Mxyzptlk get along surprisingly well considering HIM is blatantly evil, as the demon loves to mess with the Powerpuff Girls in mind games and bending reality while only getting broken teeth at the worst. Unlike some other demons HIM is happy to just Poke the Poodle when he wants to subvert expectations, like pulling a bunch of mind games to make the Professor pay...for his flapjacks. He thinks a lot of what Mxy does to the Man of Steel is pretty funny. The two have made an agreement never to interfere with each other's turf if they're going to get along, something the imp can easily enforce. Said Powerpuff Girls deeply mistrust Mxyzptlk.
• All being said, his alias hardly pronounceable due to its complete lack of vowels, and usage of rare consonants. All his kind have the lack of vowels in their name. How do you even pronounce it varies; "Mix-pih-tulk", "Mix-yez-pitl-ick", "Mix-el-plik", they're all valid. Him having to say his name backwards might be a blessing in disguise. Rumpelstiltskin considered making another trick of getting Mxyzptlk to make him say his own name backwards or else he'll keep interfering with his mischief. Mxy accepted the deal, only to end up getting frustrated waiting for the other guy to say "Nikstlitslepmur" and accidentally saying his own name backwards in an angry rant^note "Why is it so hard for you to just say your name backwards already, I can say Ktlpzyxm eas...oh fooey". Ryuk used his Shinigami eyes to figure out his true name only to get "Mxyzptlk" in English instead..."nice try" said the imp. There wasn't any hard feelings as he likes the cut of the Shinigami's jib, being someone who's more proactive and interested in stirring the pot to see what happens. Mxy won't admit that him giving a mortal great power was done smarter than when he did it. Speaking of which...
• Famously, the Joker once scammed him of the majority of his power by exploiting his true imp name. Mxyzptlk only wanted to give him 1% of the power as he was curious to see what he'd do with that power, but he ended up taking 99.9% instead. Becoming Emperor Joker the universe bent to his insane vision and reality started tearing apart at the seams, requiring Mr Mxyzptlk to work with Superman to find a way to beat the Clown Prince of Crime. It's very much an Old Shame and by his own admission, a bone-headed move. Because of this he's made sure never to let himself be in that position again, staying clear of Dr Doom has he has a...reputation for taking god-like power for himself. He has no interest in giving anyone a drop of his power after that, so he stays clear of Moro and Lord Tirek as they can't be trusted with even a zillionth of his power. Much as it left him with egg on his face, Mxy was still interested in other cases of someone handling god-like power. He thinks Bruce Nolan being God for a Day was amusing, giving him props for yanking too hard on reality.
• Doom speculated he might actually be the Impossible Man for a bit, but the two ended up meeting and not getting along as the Impossible Man thought his pranks went a bit too far. He was outraged that not only did Mxy not care about innocent lives being endangered, but he lied to him. This more cavalier attitude towards danger is why the Collector is mistrustful of him, however the imp still has a soft spot for the kid and they like to compete at planetary billiards^note uninhabited planets mind you. That said, Mxy does have standards and a sense of honor. He's not like Bill Cipher who's idea of a good party is causing mass chaos and devastation, and he's not a Sadist like Yuuki Terumi. That said, he does enjoy playing games with Bill, but it's more about showing that triangle up. They regularly play reality-bending games in the Nightmare Realm, specifically there because Mxyzptlk feels Cipher needs to be on a leash until he learns how to play nicer, often with him making fun of Cipher for using his hedonism in part to cover up the fact he misses the home he burned down. Him wanting to prove he's a better mischief maker is meant to distract the villain.
• Got a bit bored of playing poker with Bill in the Nightmare Realm and he manifested into somewhere a bit more colorful...Equestia...which history has shown is a bad idea. Discord immediately confronted Mxy given his fight trying to fight off the menace of Bill, who responded with "just ask Ktlpzyxm over there". The imp's response was "that's Ktlpzy-...oh you scummy Dorito chip!" and turned Bill into a Dorito before kicking him out. Mxzyptlk apologized for that, since he's a fan of Discord and enjoys messing around with reality, but not too much. The Mane 6 were curious, if a bit concerned over someone "who's been playing Discord's game before De Lancie was a glimmer in his daddy's eye!...oh yeah, I should probably mention I can see the bronies too." While his specialty is messing with Superman, he's decided to mess with Pinkie Pie by summoning her and Deadpool into a World of Chaos and see if they can figure their way out together. He wanted to be sporting and ran a deli for them when they get hungry, but he got tricked into saying his name backwards when asking to be paid for the chimichanga and ice cream. 90 days later, he wanted a redo and they were happy to do so.
• The Fifth Dimension is described as being "imagination". It is one ontological layer below the Sixth Dimension, the "multiversal control room" which Perpetua and her relatives come from. The planet he's from, Zrfff, is the home of imps, genies and similar beings, who's magic is advanced 5-D science. Visitors have described Zrfff as being a wacky and chaotic place, something close to a Looney Tunes sketch. To some degree, you could say that Mr Mxyzptlk is like a trickster who uses Toon Physics. Mxy corrected this by saying "my powers aren't toonforce, I simply present it like that!" Judge Doom still despises Mxyzptlk for how close in temperament and to a degree powers he resembles a toon, even if he's a toon underneath that human suit. Emperor Belos holds Mxy in contempt as someone that resembles, seeking his power for himself to purge the world of "sinful" races. Not wanting to take any chances, he turned him into an action figure and played with him as the Collector played with an "action figure" of Zamasu. The mad Kaioshin made the mistake of trying to attack Mxy because he saw him as an irresponsible god at best, god-complexed juiced up mortal at worst. Said action figure doesn't have a voice box because the imp didn't want the "action figure" to say slurs in front of the kid.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is a big fan of the Looney Tunes. The imp waxed on a (possibly untrue) story that before the Man of Steel he was in a prank war with Bugs Bunny and lost, but liked the moxie and decided to improve his craft. The story may be made up, but the point is that the two got along long enough for Mxy to ask him for a favor and go humiliate the Joker as payback for the time he stole his power. The Joker thought he could get one up on Bugs by making him say " Ynnub Sgub" but as Bugs was using Toon Physics alone, no dice. The whole thing was recorded by Future Zeno who figured out how to use a camera, in order to show off to Present Zeno. Mxyzptlk likes those kids, musing "sentimentality isn't my style but hey, I'm a dad myself". Mxy's fondness for the Zeno duo might be because of sadness over how his son (sort of, it's complicated) Vyndktvx turned out. He tried killing him only to take out the Thing-King (actually a future Mxyzptlk) he systematically destroyed all of the planets inside his pocket dimension to spite his enemy, and inflicting a massive amount of misery towards Superman for burning Vyndktvx's arm during one of his attacks on Earth. He'll entertain him in exchange for getting to mess with Goku. So long as he comes back in one piece and he gets to watch, Zeno will allow it.
• Mr Mxyzptlk is absurdly powerful by simple virtue of being from a fifth-dimensional Wackyland, but just how absurdly powerful depends. Sometimes the way to banish him is a self-imposed limitation, sometimes it's a hard rule. He's a self-admitted sucker for games, not necessarily that he is bound to their rules as the Celestial Toymaker is that he really likes them. Not coincidentally, the Toymaker happens to be a good friend of his. The two are reality warpers who occupy themselves and their immortality with games. The Toymaker uses more "official" games while Mxyzptlk does mind games and jokes. They each have their personal Worthy Opponent in the Doctor and Superman respectively. They're also significantly more powerful than nearly every other member of said opponent's rogues gallery. The Toymaker's games are considerably more nasty, with the occasional Fate Worse than Death, however like Mr Mxyzptlk he has rules and some sense of fairness he follows. The imp has tried to make it a regular thing every week to meet up with the Toymaker and play games, often requiring the Doctor and Superman to work together in order to mitigate collateral. In Mxy's defense, he'll reverse whatever damage the Toymaker didn't bother to as he's not as bad. Sarda will sometimes be invited for game night.
• By his own admission there are some beings beyond him, such as Dr Manhattan and, given the aforementioned Sixth Dimension, the Monitor and his relatives in their true form. He doesn't exactly care for Jon Osterman's attitude and has tried to tell him to lighten up, but is otherwise ambivalent towards him. Unfortunately, it also means that as the Darkest Knight, the Batman That Laughs is a threat and one just as comparable to Emperor Joker, if not even worse. He's definitely above Darkseid given he was no match to Emperor Joker, at least regularly as True Form Darkseid is not a form the Lord of Apokolips uses lightly. Beings like Darkseid and YHVH consider him utterly insufferable for not using his powers for anything serious. The Living Tribunal isn't all that impressed by his actions and general irreverence, and Mxyzptlk isn't exactly fond of someone much more powerful than him being, as he sees it, a stick in the mud. Still, he recognizes the Living Tribunal's importance and the two begrudgingly tolerate each other. Also of note; it's ambiguous where SCP-3125, another being from (a different) Fifth Dimension would stand compared to the imp. What is known is that the Escapee finds him obnoxious and insufferable, and Mxy thinks he's no fun.
• His focus on the DC Universe is usually just Superman and friends. As annoying and chaotic as he is, more than a few times they've had a laugh at what transpired. While he is on speaking terms with Lex Luthor, that's more down to him being ok with helping him once in a blue moon to cause mischief, not because he likes him. Bizarro seems to get along with him a bit more, though that's more down to one incarnation of Bizarro coming to be because of the Joker using the imp's powers and Mxy being nice enough to keep him around when reality went back to normal. Mxy has a Friendly Rivalry with Batman's most powerful fanboy, another 5-D imp called Bat-Mite, who in the (possibly non-canon) "World's Funniest" they ended up rampaging and destroying the multiverse in their little conflict, only to put reality back together good as new like nothing happened. Again, good thing he's only interested in mischief. One of his antics was dunking on the Spectre with planets, something the angel is not impressed by. He's more livid at the time Mxy impersonated him to watch over Regime Superman when he was troubled by Trigon, as no-one messes with his Supes but him! The fact Trigon wasn't squashed like a bug would solidify his Overdeity status in the Trope Pantheon.
• Once faced an Eldritch Abomination called the Ultimator, who was a 10-dimensional being that almost succeeded at consuming and assimilating the Fifth Dimension into itself. Being completely outclassed, Mxyzptlk had to resort to other comic books to figure out a solution. His solution? Make his own version of Dream of the Endless to bore the Ultimator into a slumber. The actual Dream tolerates this parody, but he didn't think it was all that funny. Since the Fifth Dimension is imagination, one could argue that it falls under the domain of Dream...though there's always the question of "how canon is Vertigo to DC anyway?" He does respect Dream, though he gets along a lot better with Delirium due to sharing that spirit of chaotic whimsy, though even Mxy is cautious not to truly upset her. As the Fifth Dimension is imagination, that puts Mxy in opposition to the Nothing. On a related note, the Auditors despise Mxyzptlk for his boundless whimsy and imagination coupled with the power to make his chaotic whims a reality.
• As much as he's seen as a Laughably Evil or even Harmless Villain, it's very important to remember the only reason Mr Mxyzptlk is not one of the most dangerous villains in all of DC is because he chooses not to. At heart he's Above Good and Evil and acts out of boredom; he spent the first 2000 years of his life in stasis, the next 2000 doing good deeds and now being a prankster. In one scenario he decided to try being a villain for 2000 years, and afterwards maybe he'll feel guilty about it. It did not end well, with many innocent people and much of Superman's supporting and rogues gallery dying. Xenophanes wants to goad Mr Mxyzptlk into doing that again, but he's given a firm "no" since that ended with Superman killing him, and he's not that bored yet...or maybe that's something that happens at the end of his personal timeline. He finds Lord X to be droll and unimaginative, but this doesn't change the fact that he and Bill Cipher are well aware he absolutely has the potential to be more dangerous than them.

• They say Upbringing Makes the Hero, something Clark Kent firmly believes in. So what if that upbringing was changed? Say, that spaceship arrived 12 hours off and ended up in Soviet Ukraine? You get the Superman of Earth-30, better known as Red Son Superman. Fighting for Stalin, communism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact, he became a pupil of the Soviet Premier and grew up under the beliefs of the Soviet Union. When Stalin died, he would end up succeeding him as a Reluctant Ruler...well, for a time. As Premier of the Soviet Union he would end up becoming a dictator, almost taking the world. To many he was a Benevolent Dictator...but was the repressiveness really worth it? After all, why doesn't he just put the entire world in a bottle if it needs his protection? Realizing how much the cost of totalitarianism amounted to changed his mind...unfortunately Brainiac wasn't exactly into him giving up, and when defeated he planned to blow the whole solar system to kingdom come. Superman would prove himself a hero once more by sacrificing himself to stop this. However he secretly survived, choosing to be incognito and abandon any attempt to control mankind's destiny again.
• The ascension of the Red Son Superman was anticipated by his Earth 0 counterpart, the OG Superman. He was one of many alternate selves that has a place in the Supermen of the Multiverse formally organized during Final Crisis, helping defeat Ultraman and the Dark Monitor. While anticipated, it would be a stretch to say he would be accepted warmly. Though he started with the best of intentions Kal-L was a dictator, if a well-intentioned one, and his soured relationship with the Wonder Woman of his universe, and conflict with the Green Lantern Marine Corps, wasn't going to make their alliance an easy one. An alliance it still is however, as the Earth-30 Superman wants to make up for his past actions. Batman is particularly distrustful of him, and to a lesser extent so's the communist Superman; the Batman of his world was a violent anarchist. To distinguish himself from his counterparts and to reinforce some humility in himself, he goes by his civilian name Somishka, given to him by the animated adaptation. His first order of business upon ascension? Find out more about DC characters from the Prime Earth, and the superheroes and villains of other universes.
• He's very interested in Lois Lane and his prime self's adoptive parents, the latter because of the argument of Nature Versus Nurture. He's arguably a case of both; while his different upbringing made him employ more questionable methods, he had just as much a motive to do good as his prime self. He deeply respects the Kents for how well they raised his wholly good-aligned counterpart. He was raised on a farm himself, though Soviet Ukraine is quite different from Kansas. The Lois in his world was married to Lex Luthor, though she was no less of an ethical journalist on Earth 30 than Earth 0. Now Lex, that's a different story. While Earth-30 Luthor is just as conceited and arrogant as his prime counterpart, he's on the side of US government and a Nominal Hero (or Anti-Hero if you want to be generous) who would start a golden age after Superman's "death". Knowing this, Somishka can't help but feel disappointed in his prime counterpart for wasting so much effort against a version of himself that's a genuine hero. Lex naturally doesn't buy that the Earth-30 Superman has reformed and thinks he validates his beliefs to an extent, though he did like to learn about his variant and finds there's a funny sort of irony in how their lives turned out in that universe.
• The Superman of Earth-30 is naturally compared to the other Supermen in the Trope Pantheon. And not just them, but those who clearly parallel the Man of Steel. Mainly, it's the ones that "go off the beaten path", so to speak, that are of note to the Soviet superhero, though it's not just them. The most obvious comparison one can make with the Red Son Superman is his Regime counterpart. Both see Superman become a dictator for a perceived greater good, though the trigger is different; Regime Superman lost everything, and Red Son Superman was mentored by Joseph Stalin. However Regime Superman has stayed steadfast in his ideals, much to his Earth-0 and -30 counterparts' disappointment. That Superman thinks his communist doppelganger essentially gave up too soon, however he admires his virtues and accomplishments as dictator. The two have ended up becoming rivals, primarily on an ideological status. So what about other Superman types? How does he feel about them?
  • Due to disavowing many of his old views but not exactly being trusted by the hero community Somishka doesn't have many friends. However he does have a very strong friendship with a Superman Substitute; Nolan Grayson, aka Omni-Man. Omni-Man grew up as a Viltrumite, Social Darwinist aliens who invaded planets to "help" them (basically the alien version of White Man's Burden), masquerading as The Cape to prepare Earth. But the love of his son, and to a lesser extent wife had him realize he cared. He'd eventually reform his ways and when he eventually became leader, he helped his people reform their ways. Omni-Man has gone through a similar arc to Somishka, so it's no wonder that they relate to one another. He's fond of his son Mark, as he is the one who let the spark of his father's compassion. As a formerly evil Superman, this puts him in an interesting spot with Superboy-Prime. Prime was a much more childish, dangerous villain, but following the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal he's finally turned over a new leaf and is trying to be a hero again. He knows the temptation though, and would like help from the more mature Red Son variant as a Superman who can understand more than most.
  • At best, he perceives the Plutonian as an especially powerful yet extremely violent maniac. One who has been given chances to reform and rejected them. Red Son Superman, for all his flaws, still held on to a sense of humility and genuine compassion for people, even if his vision of "saving the world" was ultimately the wrong one. The Plutonian's heroism was ultimately driven by ego rather than any genuine desire to help. Though his Regime counterpart disagrees with his decision to stop his Totalitarian Utilitarian path, they'll happily join up and teach the Plutonian a lesson. The Earth-30 Superman has is less disgusted and more disappointed, as is his prime counterpart, with the Homelander. Somishka is currently trying to live up to the virtues of his communist upbringing as part of his atoning, so he sees Vought-American and the Seven as emblematic of the negatives of capitalism, pointing out how they've enabled the emotionally unstable traits of their Supes. The obvious exception is Starlight, who he respects for being a genuine hero. He's come around to respecting Queen Maeve due to her more active heroism on the TV show.
  • Compared to his more intense relationships with other Supermen and their expies, his relationship with Metro Man is a lot more light-hearted. Metro Man felt he was defined by the role of Metro City's number one hero and had an understandable, albeit selfish desire to finish his rivalry with Megamind. Seeing how far Somishka went to do the right thing, he thinks taking a break and sorting out his priorities is a good thing. After everything, the Soviet's Man of Steel, decided yeah, he could kick back and relax at Metro Man's place...just as long as he doesn't sing. The guitar riffs are fine. Occasionally the Samaritan and the Sentry show up when they need to take a much-needed breather. Asa Martin is glad that Earth-30 Superman is reforming but isn't comfortable enough to form an alliance yet given his past. Somishka thinks this is fair, and he's noted that while interested in the Sentry he's not quite sure about him yet because of the Void's influence on him.
• He is slightly different in the animated version. While both versions try a non-lethal option, the animated version is willing to kill. However his main victim? Joseph Stalin. A tyrant historically seen as bad as the Fuhrer himself, with one of his atrocities being a genocidal starvation in Somishka's own land of Ukraine^note mind you that wasn't the tipping point, most see it as a Pay Evil unto Evil moment. That said, his solution for dissidents and criminals was debatable worse; neurological implants to make sure they'd be good and happy. After the "why don't you put the whole world in a bottle?!" line he considers this one of his biggest regrets. It's why, as much of a point they may have and as heroic as they can be, he's unable to get on board with the Indigo Tribe or the Phantom Thieves of Heart. He has no intention of entering the Hall of Mind Control outside of taking the fight to Yuri, who uses mind control devices except with no illusions that this isn't just a method of control. Yuri is flummoxed by how that speech got through to him, and thinks of Kal-L as a disappointment.
• The other difference in the animated version is his origins. There he's a Kryptonian, as you'd expect. But in the original comic, the world he's from is actually a very distant future Earth, sent back in hopes of changing things as the planet is about to succumb to the sun's red giant phase only to form part of a Stable Time Loop. Interestingly, this Superman the very distant descendant of Lex Luthor. Being a highly evolved human he is of interest to the Asteromorphs, who have long appreciated the heroism of the regular Superman in service of his adopted home. The Qu hold contempt for Kal-L and see his existence as similarly blasphemous. After learning what the Qu have done, the contempt is mutual. Regardless of where he was born, Somishka sees himself as a human and Soviet citizen first. He was interested in reaching out to Black Widow, a superheroine that used to be a Soviet spy, as he wanted someone to talk about his situation. Her teammate Captain America is a bit off-put as this Superman was Stalin's successor in more ways than one, but he's accepting to him wanting to live up to the mantle of Earth-0 Superman. The Earth-30 Superman respects Cap because he's a patriotic hero that always puts his morality and the virtues of the nation he loves first over any loyalty to its government. He wishes he had that kind of mindset.
• He's Ukrainian, not Russian, though even before becoming Soviet Premier he spent a good amount of time there paraded by Stalin. Wanting to do something light-hearted, he got out red sunlight lights so he could brawl with Soda Popinski in a fair fight, as some much needed fun for a man who'd definitely benefit from it. He trains with him to learn how to box better so he's not left behind in the Strong and Skilled department compared to his prime counterpart. "Rurik II" had been observing their brawl and says he wants to reach out to the Soviet Superman, saying while he doesn't agree with his past methods he does want to see him aspire to greatness. Nikolay used to be a Red Army soldier that went off the deep end but still managed to become The Good King, so Somishka respects him. Something he's noted is that the two of them live within Alternate History, which started to make him wonder...what other Supermen in the multiverse had a shake-up to their origins? How might they compare to him? He decided to go to the House of Time and Temporality and figure out the answer. It didn't take too long for him to find a rather similar counterpart to his Regime counterpart, that being Superman as one of the Justice Lords of Earth-50, who happened to use a similar mind control on dissidents...in his case, lobotomy via heat beam. Observing with him where The Animorphs, who mused that they once visited an alternate timeline where they never met Elfangor and got the morphing power, and might have a bit more experience with the multiverse.
  • He was disturbed to learn about Earth-10, where he also landed in 1938...in Czechoslovakia. The Nazis had a field day with his ship. Amazingly, his counterpart Overman was the only member of the New Reischman to carry a sense of guilt about it. He was involved in Nazi atrocities but deeply regrets it and is trying his best to make up for it. While he was too young to fight in WW2, Somishka hates Nazis by default, and the Soviets were easily the most heated rivals of the Nazis during the war. Still, the fact that even in that timeline he had some sense of good was something to note. It's a factor behind Ultraman being Somishka's least favorite counterpart, as he never held any potential for heroism. Earth-23 was a much needed palette cleanser; a universe where he was black and got into politics, becoming US President, and an effective one at that. Somishka thinks of Calvin Ellis as his good counterpart
  • Some other timelines include him being raised by the Waynes and becoming Batman, and being seized by the US government. Didn't exactly end well for "Subject One", and it makes him glad he was raised by farmers instead of the Red Army and thus directly under Stalin. It's given him a little bit of pity for Homelander due to how he was raised in a cold, unfeeling lab, but he reminds himself he's a psychopathic narcissist. It's also given him a lot of sympathy for the Last Man of Alcatraz. He was a Superman Substitute that genuinely wanted to do good, but he was ruthlessly exploited by the US government, and later on the Lunarians, being brainwashed to do evil before eventually snapping for real. The Last Son is now a Tragic Monster beyond reasoning, much as Somishka wants to reach out to him, but he knows he has to be stopped even if he wished there was some other way.
• His redemption is seen as a massive disappointment by many a tyrant, Zod musing that while he could hardly call him an ally while he was Soviet premier he had his respect for how he led the Soviet Union. Darkseid and YHVH were going to see him as an opponent anyway but they preferred him as a villain because he aligned more with their own ideals and philosophies. The Network thought he could've been a great emissary and promoter. Somishka for what it's worth wants to divorce himself from any tyrant, especially if they had the same kind of beliefs he used to be. Some tyrants weren't disappointed because they knew they were always too evil for him to handle; we're talking your Dr Weils and your IT. Others even more so. Clu was perhaps the most sympathetic yet disappointed of Kal-L, as his desire to seek perfection means he sympathizes with his hardship at making a better world. Somishka coldly responded that he cannot accept his genocide.
• Nikita Dragovich is perhaps the most upset by his turn because he saw him as an ideal vessel of ensuring Soviet and communist domination, however Superman looks at him with contempt. He's called him out for acting like the Red Army's sworn enemies, musing he reminds him of Pyotr Roslov and Stalin himself. Dragovich is arguably more envious than frustrated as Superman's time as Soviet Premier was a fulfillment of his wildest dreams; he cannot imagine how one moralizing letter broke his desire to rule. The Aryan Brotherhood weren't so much disappointed as they were disgusted by an alien taking over the USSR, but since they're Boomerang Bigot trash Somishka doesn't give a damn what they think. Somishka has tried not to moralize by saying he was better than Volgin, even though Volgin was definitely worse, but he does see him as another ugly reminder of past misdeeds and misdeeds of the Soviet Union.
• If there's a figure of the Soviet Union who the Red Son Superman looks up to, and fanboys over for that matter, it's General Zhukov, perhaps the greatest general of the Red Army during WWII, who helped saved Russia from the Nazis back when he was a kid. Georgy Zhukov is flattered, though cautious; he's quite familiar with the Decadent Court of Stalin and his inner circle, which Somishka used to be part of. He's not interested in comic books, but Superman: Red Son was a noteworthy read. Ascended soldiers of the Red Army were initially wary of Kal-L due to the time he was a dictator. The Superman of Earth-30 helped break tension by making a Rousing Speech that it is men like Vasily Zaytsev, Private Koslov, Seargent Reznov and Private Petrenkov who are The Real Heroes, heroes he can't help but admire. His sincere desire to do good and make up for his past actions helped win him over, and they were proud to have a Superman of their own. He'll admit Reznov is a bit hardcore, but he still counts him as a righteous comrade.
• The Emperor of Mankind wasn't fond of Somishka's past, being that he is one way or another an alien who almost ruled the world, though as a ruthless dictator himself a lot of his critiques could be pointed at him. The Emperor defends this by saying while his own means are similar, he has far worse threats to deal with that need his extremist actions. Billy Butcher also isn't convinced that his redemption is genuine and his past deeds help fuel his hatred of supes, not helped by his comic self coming to the conclusion all supes, himself and the other Boys included, need to die. The other Boys only tolerate him begrudgingly, as while they accept he wants to try and live a normal human life and make up for his past deeds they aren't ready to trust him yet. On that path to redemption, Somishka tends to work with those who hold their own regrets about past extremism, who he counts as more full-fledged allies. Merlina tried to keep her world alive at any cost, however after being defeated by Sonic he was able to inspire her to accept its mortality and adopt The Anti-Nihilist philosophy.

Bikini Bottom

Bikini Bottom, Divine Setting Where Water Is Air

• Description: An epipelagic city with buildings made out of metal, located in Bikini Atoll
• Symbol: The silhouette of a flower in the blue water
• Theme Song: The Bikini Bottom national anthem
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Portfolio: Water Is Air, Weird Buildings, Littering As Serious Business, Comedic Sociopathy
• Domains: Underwater, Fish and Other Sea-life, Krabby Patties, Boating
• Sacred to: Almost all deities from SpongeBob SquarePants
• Banned entry: Hexxus
• Bane: The Cyclops
• In Bikini Atoll there is a small island with a palm tree, marking a small city underneath the sea called Bikini Bottom. With a standard population of 538, it's home to the world's most famous sea sponge and the famed Krabby Patty. While a generally happy place, one should be careful of some of its dark humor. While being underwater, it has more in common with human society than should work. Electricity functions the same, weather is apparently a thing and fish walk. Though the rules of physics start to have an effect if you try to point it out like wondering how a fire can work underwater. Or try to write a letter, which will be ruined and chastised at before being thrown in said fire.
• The easy part of adding Bikini Bottom to the Trope Pantheon was locating it; there's a cruise ship from the Hall of Land and Sea Travel that lets you get to Bikini Atoll, and a boat house has been constructed next to it. The hard part for most deities is reaching Bikini Bottom, since it's not just about having a diver suit. Part of why the Cyclops is terrifying is that human beings are gigantic compared to the residents, with Spongebob himself being shorter than a banana. Captain Nemo's submarine has been described as "some sort of alien mothership" by the populace. The House of Shape has Hank Pym and Ray Palmer available to shrink people down to size, though admits human deities might get weird looks for "looking like ugly fish". The House of Machinery and Technology has made some money with small, realistic (albeit with the same humanoid proportions of the residents) fish, crab, starfish and cephalopod robots to use as inconspicuous avatars so as to not look out of place.
• Found in the Pacific, but similar in some respects to Atlantica, which is located in the Atlantic. As they're guided by Neptune and Triton specifically, there may be some further relationship deep in both aquatic nation's history. Poseidon isn't too sure himself, as he's still undecided on if King Triton is the same as his son Triton. Bikini Bottom has a mayor, and to drum up tourism she has tried to showcase the sights of the underwater city. For Mr Krabs this was time to make bank, jacking up the prices of Krabby Patties for outsiders to Bikini Bottom while selling the Krusty Krab as "the best fast food in the seven seas!" King Triton wasn't impressed, as he pointed out that "isn't Bikini Bottom the only place underwater with fast food?" This still hasn't stopped Atlantica residents from visiting just for the Krabby Patty, since it really is that good a burger.
• It's ambiguous where Bikini Bottom stands between being a city-state, and being part of a larger nation. It has a mayor but King Neptune rules over it, though that might just be down to him being king of the sea. Said King Neptune is an iteration of the Roman god Neptune, better known as the aforementioned Poseidon. In a way, he's a god-king of Bikini Bottom though most Bikini Bottomites care more about the king part than the god. Poseidon has made it very clear to other Lord of the Ocean he's the top dog here. He may be on decent enough terms with Arthur Curry and Orm the Ocean Master, respecting their efforts protecting the sea, but makes it clear they are not allowed to order around the Bikini Bottomites. His people can respect them, yes, but this is his turf. He's even butted heads with his brother Zeus over this issue, leading to some second hand embarrassment from the latter.
  Zeus: "Dude, we already sorted out who's in charge of what millennia ago! Stop being so insecure!"
• Perhaps Plankton's greatest, most evil scheme, Plan Z, saw him usurp control of Bikini Bottom with mind-control bucket helmets. Usually he's not that evil, though it's not like he regrets it...outside of the fact it has given some other deities their own ideas of conquests. The fish Joe and Fishman Hody Jones know that the human diver they call "the Cyclops" is a fearsome monster to the populace, and for them he's a good excuse to stir up anti-human sentiment. Hody wants to inspire Bikini Bottom to rise up and fight against the human race, hiding his Fishman supremacist spiel with the lie of wanting to protect the city. Joe wishes to bring up the potential of the already sentient residents. His hopes is with the right amount of fish antidote, he can make the Bikini Bottomites super-geniuses. Their efforts haven't amounted to much, though, as the residents lack the context to buy into their claims.
• There are aquatic deities in the Trope Pantheon who do not fall under the Water Is Air trope, and rather than become subject to it in Bikini Bottom they actually keep most of their own water physics. To many Bikini Bottomites, their ability to actually swim comes off like a miracle of flight. Marlin, Nemo and Dory once went to Bikini Bottom as part of a vacation and found there was a novelty in it. There was a bit of a panic when Marlin ended up getting some fire on him, but it was doused the moment he pointed out fire shouldn't be possible. Hermes thought its Water Is Air attributes might explain how Zoidberg's burned down underwater, but that couldn't be the case since Atlanta was in the Atlantic. Or as Hermes himself put it "that raises even further questions!" While Mario and Luigi still end up moving sluggishly in Bikini Bottom, their otherwise full adherence to Water Is Air means it's business as normal for them. Sandy is perplexed by the fact they don't even need an air supply.
• One of the more puzzling places for human divers to visit is Goo Lagoon...that's right, a lagoon exists underwater for the residents to swim in...under-under water, perhaps? Surprisingly enough there are apparent underwater pools like cold seeps and brine pools...though real brine pools are considerably more hostile for most organisms. That said, many still say it's a stretch, and the idea it "makes sense" was not helped by the time Chaos Zero showed up, somehow not altered by the sea water around them. However their hydrokinetic powers still let them manipulate the water and current around them, becoming even more formidable than on land. Occasionally there's odd purple goo that emerges from Goo Lagoon, which is possibly algae bubbles or pollution. That said, one individual believes the purple goo is something more morbid; jellyfish corpses .
• There's a large variety of humanoid, sentient animals in Bikini Bottom, but not all sea creatures are sapient. Some like sea urchins are no different from normal, making them "boring conversation" for Pincurchin. The city's residents are more terrified of him than anything due to his Electric type. Somewhere in the middle you have clams and jellyfish, who are definitely smarter than the regular version but take the role of birds and bees respectively^note though again, jellies are closer to birds in intellect. Jellyfish Field is over 50 miles wide and home to over 4 million jellyfish, who make jam-like jelly. It's a popular place for people to relax and playing jellyfishing. Some entertainment areas include the Glove World theme park (sometimes Glove Universe) and the Fry Cook museum. Besides the Krabby Patty, another signature cuisine is the Goofy Goober's ice cream parlor. And if you're really tough, there's always the Salty Spittoon to check out.
• Heavily opposes littering, to the point most visitors see it as disproportionate. Captain Planet have pointed out garbage and pollution is a lot more deadly to underwater life than land life so it's not an unjustified status; Hexxus has been permanently banned from ever entering Bikini Bottom for this reason. Asides from Sandy the residents are unaware Bikini Atoll was a nuclear test site, which some have speculated its citizens are mutants as a result of the atomic blast. The fact it has had sentient sea-life since the prehistoric era seems to disprove this, though this doesn't stop people claiming it's true. That being said, once every century a green anomaly called "Neptune's moon" shows up to mutate aquatic life into their more primitive, realistic forms. Testing by the SCP Foundation show that its radiation can regress fishmen like Fisher Tiger and the Gill-Man in the same way. The following "Neptune's sun" has the same effect on land dwellers.
• Beavis and Butt-Head regularly visit Bikini Bottom, not because they're a fan of Spongebob Squarepants but because of the name. It's a joke lost on everyone there except the land-dweller Sandy, who chuckled a bit before being they made jokes about her full name of Sandy Cheeks, and the joke would quickly grow stale anyway. It's not like the Bikini part has anything to do with what they're thinking of anyway, though it's also not like they'd be mature or smart enough to know that. On a side note, for land dwellers wanting to take off their underwater suit, you might want to pay Sandy's treedome a visit. It's for free, but she has tried to make a buck by selling Texan memorabilia and inventions.

The Millennium Items

The Millennium Items

• Hall: Artifacts Library
• Appearance: Different golden items, almost all identified with an eye symbol
• Class Level: 4
• Museum Check: Cleared
• Alignment: Neutral Good and Chaotic Evil (the Millennium Puzzle and Ring respectively). The other items are True Neutral with potential for evil
• Portfolio: Artifact of Doom, The Result Of Sacrificing a Village, Shadow Games, Ancient Egypt
  • Individually: Container For The Nameless Pharaoh, Pyramid Power (the Puzzle), Telepathy, Eye Scream (the Eye), Scales of Justice, Determines The Evil In Another's Soul, Monster Fusing (the Scales), Journey to the Center of the Mind (the Key), Mind Control (the Rod), Combat Clairvoyance, Capable Of Seeing The Future (the Necklace)
• Domains: Magic, Sacrifices, Souls, Darkness, Gaming, Mystery, Curses
• Soul Jar for: The Other Yugi/the Nameless Pharaoh (the Millennium Puzzle), Dark Bakura/the Spirit of the Millennium Ring (and by extension, Zorc Necrophades) (the Millennium Ring)
• Deities that have wielded the item: Yugi Muto (the Millennium Puzzle), Ryou Bakura (the Millennium Ring), Pegasus J Crawford (the Millennium Eye), Marik Ishtar and Dark Marik (the Millennium Rod)
• Source of interest: Edward and Alphonse Elric, Van Hohenheim, Father and the Homunculi, Lord Voldemort, the D'arby brothers (in general), Bender "Bending" Rodriguez (the Millennium Eye), Isis (the Millennium Necklace), the Phantom Thieves, Razputin Aquato (the Millennium Key), Ammit, Osiris, Anubis (the Millennium Scale)
• The Millennium Items date back over 3000 years, commissioned by the pharaoh Akhenamekhanen to protect Anceint Egypt from an invading army. Made by his brother Akhenaden, these seven items had various powers, all sharing the ability to perform the dangerous Shadow Games. Their creation was soaked in blood, however; the 99 residents of the thief town Kul Elna were sacrificed to make them. This was the Start of Darkness for the Thief King, and it's what allowed the monster Zorc Necrophades to begin his scheme to cover the world in darkness. The Nameless Pharaoh sealed the darkness away, and eventually the items would be dug up in the modern day.
• Applies to the artifacts as a whole
  • Following the passing the Nameless Pharaoh true name Atem, the items were buried deep underground...at least until Kaiba dug them up as part of his scheme to have one last, definitive duel with his rival. He refuses to go into detail as to how that went, instead having Kaiba Corp make a delivery of the Millennium Items to the Great Treasury. Interviewers attempted to get an answer for why but he wasn't available for an answer. The only thing known is that before the overhaul of the treasury they used to be artifacts in the pantheon, but were removed in the overhaul for some beauacratic reasons. The current display is supposed to have all seven, but the Millennium Ring is almost always missing from it because it is taken/linked to Yami Bakura. The Millennium Puzzle is normally on loan with Yugi, due to its ties to the Nameless Pharaoh. While the other Millennium Items can be loaned to other deities, permission is required and they are items not to be trifled with.
  • Created from blood sacrifice following instructions of the Millennium Spellbook, together the seven items have the ability to summon Zorc Necrophades to the mortal world. Their ability to initiate Shadow Games and dark magic associated with them gives the items great potential for evil, though except for the Millennium Ring none of the items are evil persay. A comparison could be made with the Fullmetal Alchemist with how the Philosopher's Stone is made, except the Items don't contain still-screaming souls. The Elric brothers and their father are trying to make sure Father and his homunculi don't try to pilfer the items, and make sure if the Spellbook is ever ascended it's kept lock and key to make sure nobody tries to make more Millennium Items. There is a rule against using the Millennium Items in the House of Gaming to prevent any Shadow Games, and even outside of that their abilities would allow someone to cheat at the games. The D'arby brothers think it's a silly rule given their own abilities are similar to the Shadow Games, and despite everything they've done their position in their house is secured.
  • According to Shadi three items (the Key, Scale and Necklace) represent justice, three items (the Ring, Rod and Eye) are weak to evil and the Puzzle represents both evil and justice. Because of their dark background and potential for evil they're of interest to the GUAE and the GUAG. Also, their dark history has been yet more fodder for Linkara's jokes about how Ancient Egypt is evil^note cue the Imperial March. They're of more interest to the House of Magic and Sorcery, mainly because the various members of the house are seeking to use their powers for good, ill or just because they're useful. The House of Death and Postmortem, namely its Psychopomp leaders, feel they should keep an eye as all together the seven Millennium Items are a necessary part in allowing the other Yugi to move on to the next life.
  • The items do not respond well to the unworthy, usually killing them (sometimes worse). Indiana Jones was pretty Genre Savvy in treating the Millennium Items gingerly, emphasizing that they belong in the pantheon's museum and should be kept in the Great Treasury. Any discussion with him that they should have their power combined with another artifact just frustrates him. Some D-Class schmuck was given a test to bring the Key near the Ark of the Convenant, which ended with him and the foolish researches who ordered it becoming pillars of salt...who'd have thought the Abrahamic God wouldn't like these blood sacrifice Egyptian relics near the Ark? Ahkmenrah has stated that he wants them to be kept separate from his Tablet as he's wary of how they might affect another Egyptian magical artifact.
• Applies to the artifacts individually
  • The Millennium Puzzle and Ring are unique since, as already mentioned, they contain the spirits of people. The Puzzle is notoriously hard to solve in large part due to Yami Yugi's influence and has a more general purpose of enhancing skill, accessing and protecting from magic. The Ring can find what the wielder is looking for like a compass, but benefits are outweighed by the malignant evil in the item. Even without Zorc or the Thief King, it's still corruptive. Voldemort was fascinated by these items since they work as a sort of Horcrux variant, though the abilities and how they function as "horcruxes" is somewhat different. He doesn't intend to steal them because he can't make a horcrux over something already "occupied" like they are, but it has inspired him to try and steal the other Millennium Items and make them horcruxes. Zorc is intrigued by this since it could allow him to influence Voldemort, but he and by extension Yami Bakura refuse to let him co-opt the artifacts.
  • The Millennium Eye lets you read people's minds. Admittedly useless for telepaths like the Martian Manhunter unless you want to play a Shadow Game, but pretty useful for anyone wanting telepathy. It's only got two downsides. One, if someone can pull a Memory Gambit like flipping between different personalities they can cheat the system. Two, it requires an empty eye socket. This wasn't a problem for Bender that time he managed to steal the Eye, calling Pegasus "a lightweight meatbag" as he could just unscrew one of his eyes and plug the artifact in. He freaked out a bit when he saw the spirit of the Countess de la Roca, much as how Pegasus saw a vision of his lost love, but got over it. Bender almost won a big poker game until he went up against Fry, who's mind still couldn't be read even with a magic artifact. The Eye was later recovered from a nearby trash can and returned to the museum.
  • The Millennium Rod has perhaps the most potential for evil since not only is it used for mind control, but it also has a sharp end to stab people with. Marik set up a rumor that it can only control people named Steve and can be used as a lightsaber, but no-one really bought it and he admitted he made it up for a lark. However, strong enough Heroic Willpower can allow one to break out of control. The Hall of Mind Control wonders if their own techniques could somehow enhance the item. Death Phantom muses that compared to his own power of Mind Manipulation, it might as well be glorified metal, but Jervis Tetch thinks it's a neat secondary means of control and looks fashionable. There was a test to see if it could entrance someone already entranced by the Hypnotoad; it succeeded, but the Hypnotoad simply stared and mind controlled
  • The Millennium Necklace's role was formerly used by Ishizu Ishatar, and way back in the day her previous life Isis. No, not the goddess, she just happened to share the name. The actual goddess is interested in it, but more as a glorified piece of jewelry as her own divine powers overshadow the Necklace. It's main ability is to see the future, and also the past. However it still has its limits, and its abilities are obscured by other millennium items. Though Ishizu never had any intent to use it for Shadow Games, if she ascends she still cannot be expected to use it in the House of Gaming as it could be seen as a form of cheating. How effective the Necklace is can fluctuate wildly; tests from the House of Prophecy shows it's highly effective in deterministic settings but useless in ones that break fate. Anyone wearing it within the House of Time and Temporality will suffer a migraine due to the conflicting laws of time inevitably present there.
  • The Millennium Key stands as the only Item to lack the eye symbol on it. It allows you to unlock and enter somebody's mind. It's comparable to what the Phantom Thieves and Razputin Aquato are capable of, however Yami Yugi's amnesia caused his mind to come off as some labyrinth. Some poor Arkham guard tried to use the Key to enter the Joker's mind in order to figure out what was wrong with him, only to be lost in a maddening MC Escher-esque carnival. Perhaps he should've been found as unworthy by the Key.
  • The Millennium Scale is perhaps the least explored of the Items, and like the Key was primarily in possession of the enigmatic Shadi. can weigh a person's sin against the Feather of Ma'at. While extremely evil hearts like Yami Bakura and probably the Joker too overwhelm it, most wicked souls can expect to face the wrath of Ammit eating them. Anubis has dryly mused that the Millennium Scale is basically a knock-off of the Scales of Justice he and Osiris use to judge the dead, jokingly wondering if they should sue for plagiarism.
  • The Pyramid of Light and Quantum Cube are considered by some unofficial Millennium Items, but aren't listed in the canon seven so they aren't officially listed in the Great Treasury. The former is basically an in-universe knock-off of the Puzzle that got co-opted by the sorcerer Anubis for his own purposes, also acting as a Soul Jar. The actual Anubis is embarrassed by the whole thing since he doesn't like some Generic Doomsday Villain giving him a bad name. The latter is "semi-official", and can send others to another dimension where they're doomed to disintegrate. Some SCP Foundation agents argued it should somehow join the canon seven, only to sheepishly admit it's yet another scheme to terminate SCP-682.

• Suguroku Muto (or Solomon Moto if you're watching the English dub) is the grandfather of famed duelist Yugi Muto and owner of the Kame Game shop. In his youth he was an archeologist who visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh aka Pharaoh Atem, being the one to find the Millennium Puzzle, though he was never able to solve it. Interestingly, in a past life he was that pharaoh's Grand Vizier, Shimon Muran, and wielded Exodia. Suguroku is a skilled player of games and a gambler who rarely lost, though one of the few times he did it led to him wearing overalls and retiring. Now he's content running his game shop, and serving as a mentor for his grandson Yugi. Occasionally he has gone out to play Duel Monsters like dueling with Jonouchi in KaibaCorps Grand Prix.
• Yugi's grandfather was minded his own business, taking care of his shop on a quiet day where there weren't many customers. Everything seemed normal until he opened his mailbox and discovered an invitation to something called the Trope Pantheon. After the VHS tape Pegasus sent led to his soul getting stolen he was suspicious and asked Yugi if he knew if a trick was afoot, only to be informed that it was the same thing he and many of both his allies and enemies had joined. As a character defined by their familial relationship to another character, he was under consideration for the trope of Satellite Family Member. Suguroku may be in his seventies but he's not technologically blind and quickly adapted to using TV Tropes. His temple is Kame House, technically part of the House of Family and Relatives but functionally part of the House of Gaming as that's where his revenue comes from. For deities wanting to play Duel Monsters he's usually the one to check if they're looking for a more humble and friendly game shop.
• He had met Judai/Jaden and friends "the long way round" at his card shop where even in his eighties he still was as chipper maintaining his shop. Sugoroku is generally friendly and doesn't hold a grudge, though he's still somewhat sore around Seto Kaiba and Pegasus; the former beat him and destroyed his Blue Eyes card, leading to him going to the hospital, and the latter stole his soul as part of his scheme. He's on speaking terms with them because they ultimately turned a new leaf, but they're otherwise neutral. Ultimately he only really opposes the unrepentant villains who threatened his grandson (and the world, given the scope of their plans). Yugi's grandfather is on really good terms with Exodia, interestingly enough. As mentioned, his previous life in Ancient Egypt had Exodia as his ka, and he used to have Exodia in his playset.
• While he's retired from the archeology business, he still knows his stuff about Egypt and has stories to share with other archeologists. Him and Indiana Jones have become good friends discussing their past adventures, though Suguroku readily admits Indy has seen a lot more than he was able to. Him and Simon Petrikov are also friends, the latter having been an antiquarian who had studied some magical artifacts...sadly he spent the better part of a millennium driven crazy by one of them. With all the things he's seen of the Millennium Items and Shadow Games, he wasn't exactly surprised to learn the Egyptian gods were all too real in the Trope Pantheon. He's become quite interested in learning more about them, alongside the many pharaohs present asides from the Nameless Pharaoh. He's especially interested in Ahkmenrah, a Chummy Mummy who was brought to the land of the living thanks to a magical Egyptian artifact...he reminds the old man of Yami Yugi.
• Suguroku's shop being called "Kame Game", basically translating to "Turtle Game", reminds a good amount of people of Muten Roshi. There's more than a few similarities between them; both are old, wise mentors of the protagonist, though Roshi has more of a role as the mentor, and they're both perverts. This isn't as obvious with Yugi's grandpa as his lechery was more an early characterization, but his interest in Vivian Wong and Otogi's cheerleaders wasn't exactly innocent. He still thinks Roshi is pervy, though to the older man's credit he's become better at controlling his lust. While they sometimes chat about beautiful women, most of the time they talk about their life experiences and how to give advice to those they care about. Roshi has decided to learn from him how to play Duel Monsters as a hobby.
• He has somewhat of a rivalry with Comic Book Guy, come their mutual roles in the House of Commerce. He owns a major comic book shop of the Trope Pantheon, and Suguroku owns a major game shop. Comic Book Guy keeps trying to push advertisement for his shop over the old man, trying to get more customers. He was a bit annoyed to see a regular like Bart Simpson start to spend more pocket change at the Kame Game shop, causing the old man to quip "didn't you ban him?" Jeff simply responded with "we worked that out". While Yugi's grandpa is a bit exasperated by how much of a jerk Comic Book Guy can be, their rivalry is a harmless one and they'll sometimes show up at each other's shop to buy stuff from one another. Occasionally they meet up and chat, and/or snark, at the Kwik-e-Mart. Him and Apu seem to get along as small businessmen.
• Brand X attempted to exploit the old man in hopes of pushing their awful, awful food products. Why him? Simply put, they wanted to look more appealing and "human". They propositioned him with an idea of becoming a promoter for Brand X food, by tying them with the games he sold. Suspecting them from the start, he asked the representative "could you taste test your food first?" That representative was nervous since he knew what their food taste like, so instead he decided to gamble and say "OK, let's decide it over poker. You win, I'll taste test it and we'll leave you alone forever. I win, you sell your game shop to us and we turn it into a market". Unfortunately for that representative Suguroku was a very lucky gambler and took some pride in seeing the representative prove how bad that proposal would've been for him.
• As he's a friendly old man with a humble job, it's hard to really piss him off. Make jokes about him lusting over Black Luster Soldier and he'll just go "ah, I see you're a fan of that abridged series". Some people do piss him off, though. Though a bit of a pervert, he's far from the creep that Nobuyuki Sugou is. His abuse of the virtual world's gaming system and general sleaze-baggery made him permanently blacklisted from Kame Game. No, the fact he has no interest in Duel Monsters or the other games at his shop doesn't change that. He's definitely not a fan of Yoshihiro Kira either. For one, he's worried his Stand ability might cause some chaos if he gets access to Duel Monster cards, despite Yoshihiro saying "that's not how my Stand works you old fool!" More seriously, Yoshihiro is aiding and enabling his Serial Killer of a son and making Morioh a less safe place. The ghostly Stand user tried to defend his actions by saying he's making up for his wife's abuse^note according to Araki's comments; it's not mentioned in the manga to avoid making Kira too sympathetic, only for Sugoroku to say that's a BS excuse.
• While an expert gambler, Sugoroku Muto knows that eventually, your luck will run out. This is but one of many reasons why he has absolutely no interest in playing any game with the D'arby brothers, who he's naturally horrified by them gambling with human lives. Daniel at least finds his refusal to duel unfortunate, since he respect for his skill, but Telence is just an ass so he doesn't care. Yugi is glad they aren't trying to antagonize his grandpa outright since the way their Stands work is highly reminiscent of a Shadow Game. However Sugoroku is fine gambling for smaller wagers like a chocolate milkshake. Him and Tsunade decided to gamble over who pays for a month's worth of bento boxes with a game of Duel Monsters...Sugoroku won, though she insists that this was unfair because it was her first time playing Duel Monsters. They'll still make friendly wagers, just with more fair games.
• Has a bit of a complicated opinion on Grunkle Stan. Sugoroku sees him as a troublemaker, a swindler a washout...but also a good friend, who reminds him of some of the stuff he got up to back in the day. Stan wishes that he did more higher stake gambling with him and thinks he's a bit of a washout, but this comes off more as friendly ribbing. While Yugi's grandfather is annoyed by Bubs and his swindling ways, he sees in Stan Pines a more devious version of himself but really fun company, who'll prove his worth when he needs to.

• Annoyed by: Eric Cartman
• Hans Landa was one of Hitler's best agents. A member of the SS, he was known as "the Jew Hunter" for his ability to hunt and find Jews, stating this is because he doesn't simply hate them and can think like them. He was an important figure in helping the Nazis fight the Basterds and could easily detect a liar, however he's hardly a zealot of their ideology and at his core he's an opportunist. When the winds turned against him he would collaborate with their plan to assassinate the Nazi high command, under the conditions that he would be whitewashed in the history books and his own crimes ignored, with him retiring to Nantucket Island. The assassination worked, and Hans would go on to solve a series of murders as an amateur master detective. Of course, Lt. Aldo Raine refused to let him get away scot-free, and while he couldn't kill him there was another method of inflicting karma. Something he couldn't take off...so a swatiska was carved in his forehead, branding him as a Nazi. He will constantly be afraid of what people will say about or do to him in response.
• Could be described as a less influential but just as Machiavellian Reinhard Heydrich, something he's remarked on. He was just as ruthless and cold-blooded, though rather than be assassinated he managed to do what many folded into Operation Paperclip achieved. A Karma Houdini albeit not entirely, Hans Landa has been well-remembered as a villain and so he was in consideration for a position in the Trope Pantheon. As he would get a special punishment via Loophole Abuse, despite his earnest attempts to escape justice, The Villain Must Be Punished was decided for him. Personally Hans considers being in the Trope Pantheon a punishment; he's now in an environment where people will refuse to let him off the hook despite the arrangement he got. And the Basterds are waiting for the moment he slips up to go all out on him. Starscream has quipped that he should expect to visit his house a fair bit since he's not going to get much trust from the evil gods either.
• Hans' ascension was among the ascended Nazis, seen as contentious. He was involved in Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and other Nazi high command's assassination in his universe, proving himself perfectly willing to abandon the ideology if it's for his benefit. However, few if any of the high-ranking Nazis that ascended ever held genuine loyalty to the Fuhrer, and they hold the idea above the man. Despite recognizing him as an opportunist, Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse saw in Hans a man that was still useful to the Nazi party and made it clear that Hans Landa will be offered a handsome reward for ensuring the ascended Nazi's triumph...but he's on thin ice and he will wish for the Basterds if he pulls the same turncoat stunt on them. Hans Landa was reluctant to agree with this, but ultimately did so as his reputation precedes him, or in other words he already had so many angry eyes on him that siding with the Nazis again would increase his allies list.
• The Red Skull has quite the love-hate relationship with Hans Landa. Though he makes no secret he sought to become Fuhrer, he's usually written as a genuine believer so he doesn't respect Hans' "flip-flopping". And Adolf Hitler was not just his personal idol, but arguably a second father. However he cannot help but respect Hans' cunning and effectiveness, citing that if he held genuine conviction and loyalty in the cause they would be close friends. Landa respects the Skull's determination and own cunning, however he is not a fan of his Bad Boss tendencies. Amoral he may be, Col Landa has affection for his adjutant and was outraged to see the Basterds shoot him. The Skull gave him a positive review to HYDRA, admitting he'll fit their organization as a detective and intelligent agent like a glove. Since HYDRA is more broadly authoritarian than its Nazi roots, they are a lot more accepting of him.
• While he is seem with skepticism by many Nazi deities, along with those tied to and working with the Nazis, there are some that get along with him swimmingly and overlook his Turncoat actions. Franz Vahlen has his own ambitions independent of Rommel and Hitler, and he plans to become Fuhrer himself. As a general he can give aid to Hans in areas he's lacking. General Heinz Bohm is a cunning mole who met with the two over some strudel, pointing out he is well-aware the pantheon's Nazi elite has their own internal power plays and schemes for and against one another, so the fact they're able to be friendly with one another will likely be a boon. They've met privately to discuss assassination plans on some of their own allies in case they prove to be a "liability", the details of which are a tight-knit secret but nothing out of the ordinary for the Nazis more skeptical of Hans. For now, at worst Hans Landa is a reliable traitor.
• On the other side of the proverbial coin, there are those that Hans Landa is quite critical of. He is flabbergasted that Millennium is still given the go ahead by the more traditional Nazis, pointing out they're insane. Yes he's aware he's not exactly a loyalist to the cause, but he's not wrong feeling Mr "I like war" might be more trouble than they're worth. Adjacent to the cause, there's Sergey Taboritsky and the Aryan Brotherhood, who he's glad aren't proper associates due to how off their gourd they are. He's surprised the OTL Sergey was allowed to be part of the Nazi party, citing he's a Russian monarchist with a Jewish mother. Pointing this out only caused the Blessed Regent to go on a rant of "I AM NOT A JEW I AM NOT CAIN!!" On a lighter note, he's bothered by the attention that Cartman has given him. Cartman thinks he's "super kewl" and wants to be involved, albeit with some cognitive dissonance to ignore the fact he helped with Hitler's assassination in his timeline. Col Landa accurately finds him an annoying little brat and doesn't want his attention
• It is debatable as to how much of a Politically Incorrect Villain he is, as his affinity for Nazi ideology is debatable. He compares Jews to rats, but unlike other Nazis this is not meant to be an insult. Rather, it's a weird, if offensive compliment as he points out that rats are resourceful and cunning animals. He's very good at rooting out Jewish families in hiding, so this and his other crimes prevent him from being seen as anything other than an enemy by Jewish deities. And for those that directly suffered under Nazi oppression like Sophie and Magneto, no amount of Faux Affably Evil charm would dissuade them from wanting to cave his skull in. As Magneto was able to give a personal vengeance to Red Skull, a punishment so bad he almost ended up rethinking his life, the "Jew hunter" lives in fear of what he might do to him. One non-Jew that Col Landa is on red alert for is B.J. Blazkowicz, though he does hold some Villain Respect for him; his crusade against the Nazis is one that rivals, if not even surpasses his arch-enemies, the Basterds.
• Many feel that the Basterds "went easy on him", though that's only because they could not afford to kill him. The Phantom Thieves of Heart don't plan to kill him, but they do plan to make him actually re-evaluate his life by stealing his heart, and thus force him to feel guilt for his actions. Landa muses "I wonder if I'd prefer execution...not that I'd ever want to test that, of course". Night Raid considers him someone to go after for his crimes regardless of red tape. Light Yagami plans to write his name in the Death Note, though with less savory motives than most out for his blood. Hans Landa has rightly surmised that his goals are more about power and pride than serving justice, insulting him by saying "I feel you would fit quite well with fascism if you were in the forties". And of course, there are the many Allied soldiers of WWII who want his head due to being a Nazi SS agent, even if it's not on the same Pay Evil unto Evil level as the Basterds. For bonus points the Red Viper of Dorne wants him to pay, as he's incensed by how he got away for the most part even if he had a karmic punishment.
• Hans Landa has a friendship with the somewhat but not quite Nazi Arnold Berkman. Major of the Germanian army's special unit, Berkman is a cunning figure who is ultimately more of an opportunist who's loyalty is to Numero Uno, and got away unscathed. He's even more of a Karma Houdini than Hans, though he would lose an eye. The two enjoy swapping stories and participating in the finer things in life. Orson Krennic is another friend of Hans, as he's a well-dressed and superficially friendly fascist. They have different specialties though, as Hans is more of a detective/intelligence agent and Krennic develops military technology. Tarkin was disappointed by their friendship as he had hoped to associate with Col Landa, but his own heated rivalry with Krennic causes just too much friction for that to be the case anymore.

• In progress (6/10)
• Approved ideas (ready to work on) (9/20). Feel free to PM and adopt if you're interested. Same with below
  • Donna Noble, Goddess of Missing the Good Stuff
  • Cardiff, Divine Small Town With Supernatural Occurrences
  • the Great Race of Yith, Divine Race of Mental Space Travel
  • Herbert West, God of Mad Scientist Laboratories: Adopted from Phantom Fire
  • Roswell, New Mexico, Divine City Of Mysterious Happenings In 1947: A restoration to an old profile
  • Michael Moran, God of Being Renamed to Avoid Association: adopted from Phantom Fire
  • The Analyst, God of Going Beyond A Third Installment
  • Jesper Johanssen and Klaus: Demythification
  • Frank and Julia Cotton, Damned Couple Of In-Law Adultery

• New ideas (main focus)-19/20. Feel free to PM and adopt if you want to.
  • The Infinity Gauntlet: a restoration of an old idea. The titular gauntlet is perhaps the most powerful macguffin of Marvel Comics (at least excluding one-offs like the Heart Of The Universe). It's a gauntlet that can take in one of the Infinity Gems/Stones, which makes you at least a Reality Warper of the gem/stone's aspect. Having all six makes you The Omnipotent of whatever universe they're a part of, though like a TV remote doing so in another gets an out of range
  • The Alpha Centauri Star System, Divine Oft-Represented Star System: a dominion idea. For Stock Star Systems I feel it should go to a star system that is commonly used in sci-fi or other reference, hence Alpha Centauri. A trinary star system in the Local Stars, it is the closest star system to our own. As such, it gets some of the most fictional representations of a star system besides our own. Naturally it would function as a Composite Character of the different fictional versions with the real star system as the base
  • Edgar, God of Stumbling in the New Form: Adopted from Shinobi. Edgar the Bug is a towering cockroach-like alien criminal who, to go undercover, skins an abusive farmer and wears his hide as a disguise. Understandably, the massive differences in body types causes him to stagger and jerk around as the farmer in what cannot be described as a comfortable form. To make matters worse decomposition is still in effect so by the time he discards the suit he looks and moves around like a zombie.
  • Aegislash, God of Defend Commands: a restoration and retool. I am considering suggesting Aegislash for this trope. Why? Aegislash is a living, haunted sword. While many Pokemon have defend commands, its design and ability is tailor made for this trope. Aegislash's signature ability is Stance Change, where if it uses an offensive move it becomes an attack-oriented form and if it uses its signature move of Kings Shield it reverts to its shielded form. Kings Shield is a Protect variant that lowers the opponent's attack on contact. Old draft here: Aegislash
  • Komala, God of Laid-Back Koalas (Hall of Mammals, True Neutral)-Komala is a Normal type koala introduced in a Hawaii-inspired region. It exaggerates the sleepiness of real life koalas by the fact that it spends its entire life asleep, and merely sleepwalks to move around. This is reflected in its signature ability Comatose, where it has a permanent Sleep condition but without the drawbacks of not being able to do anything
  • Suguru Kamoshida, God of Creepy Gym Coaches (Hall of Teachers)-Adopted from Iceaura39. Suguru Kamoshida is the Starter Villain of Persona 5, and one that leaves a chilling impression due to the personal nature of his crimes. He's the gym teacher and volleyball coach at Shujin Academy, and one disturbing Dirty Old Man who represents the sin of Lust. Physically assaults the male students, sexually harasses the female students, with a particular fetish for the quarter-white Ann. He extorts students and is considered Beyond Redemption and requiring a Heel–Face Brainwashing after assaulting Shiho, leading her to attempt suicide.
  • Polyphemus, God of Classically Monstrous Cyclops (Hall of Eye Appearances)-Polyphemus is a major antagonist in the Odyssey. Unlike the elder divine cyclops who were wise and built things for the Olympians, Polyphemus was a member of the more mortal cyclops. They were known as vicious, giant brutes who ate people. Many like Polyphemus were children of Poseidon. He has some Hidden Depths such as a musical talent, but otherwise fit the stereotype the Greeks started
  • Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Xipe Totec, Triumvirate Deities Of Human Sacrifice: the Aztecs are infamous for their practice of Human Sacrifice, an act they believed was a Necessarily Evil to keep the natural order. Three major gods had their own take on sacrifice. Huitzilopochtli is the war deity of sacrifice that had the traditional heart-ripping out maneuver. Tlaloc is a rain and water god who's sacrifice involved dressing up seven children in the style of Tlaloc before pulling out their hearts, and the children crying before reaching the designated shrine was considered a good omen for abundant rain. The festival of Tozoztontli involved more child sacrifices in caves. And Xipe Totec, who flayed himself to feed humanity, has his sacrifices skinned and priests wore that skin
  • I would like to make a partial restoration, partial rework in adding the Lantern Rings to the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weapons in the DC universe, and also a major feature of the Green Lantern mythos is the titular lantern ring. Using will for green, or other emotions for other rings, you can create Hard Light constructs and use your imagination in a powerful way. Should it be the rainbow seven, should it include the White and Black Lantern rings (despite the security risk the latter has)? The idea is that they would function as a way to deputize people in the Trope Pantheon
  • Pieces Of Kryptonite: a restoration for the Great Treasury. One of the most iconic weaknesses in superhero comics is kryptonite. A radioactive piece of the exploded planet Krypton, it is radioactive and Kryptonian life is particularly susceptible to it, being akin to poisoning. Green Kryptonite is the original and pure stuff, but there are variants which have different effects. Sometimes it only affects Kryptonian life, but sometimes it has a more subtle effect like the time Lex Luthor got cancer using a kryptonite ring
  • Nimona, Goddess of Primal Polymorphs (Shapeshifters)-Adopted from Excessive-Menace, Nimona is a chaotic ever-shifting trickster who operates almost exclusively through spur-of-the-moment decisions though on the upside, her more primal viewpoint allows her to understand things that more civilized individuals have trouble accepting. She lived almost exclusively as an animal in search of companionship before she finally took human form and introduced herself to the human being she wanted to befriend...this didn't exactly end well and she prefers to live away from human civilization
  • The Golden Turd: a restoration to the Grand Treasury. The accursed stool was created by Roger after a bad meal, and acts similarly to the One Ring; everyone who gets access to it will inevitably be corrupted by greed and become obsessed by its power. A potent Artifact of Attraction and Artifact of Doom, without exception, they will suffer a terrible fate because of it. Roger has to resort to time travel to stop it's madness...and it more delays the inevitable than anything. Draft here
  • Cleveland Orenthal Brown, God of Abandoned Catchphrases (Hall of Phrases, True Neutral)-Cleveland is the straight man of Peter's pals. He didn't have many quirks, but one of the things he was known is Rapid-Fire "No!", caused by him and his bathtub falling due to Peter's shenanigans. When this eventually lead to him leaving Quahog the catchphrase was dropped in the spin-off, and would remain dropped when he returned to the main show.
  • Carol Kohl, Goddess of Living Just Before the End: Carol And The End Of The World is a limited series where a planet is discovered to be destined to collide with and destroy the Earth. It explores people getting their affair in order and living with the apocalypse months away. Carol Kohl is the main character, an everywoman who is trying to figure out how to spend her last moments.
  • The Interim Coalition Of Governance, Unholy Dictatorship (Hall of Manners Of Authority)-the Coalition is one the most extreme, psychopathic dictatorships in fiction. Think Oceania meets the Lensman Arm Race. They're a totalitarian oligarchical dictatorship that uses omnipresent indoctrination, thinks humanity should be in a state of constant suppression in order to be human, will erase dissidents, commit genocide for even the pettiest of reasons (or make you wish they did) and despises everyone and everything else
  • The Spline, Deified Living Ships (Hall of Air Travel)-adopted from Someone 404. The Spline used to be whale-like creatures living on a faraway planet. After a chance encounter with another alien species, they chose to redesign themselves into Space Whale like starships. Their nervous systems are wired into a control deck, their pores hold weapon and sensor emplacements, and specialized organs are used to keep passengers alive, among other adaptations.
  • Jurgen Voller, God of Trying (And Failing) To Remove Hitler Via Time Travel (Hall of Time Travelling, Neutral Evil)-the Big Bad of Dial of Destiny is Jurgen Voller, seeking the Antitkythera mechanism to go back in time and take out Hitler right before WW2. He's a unique example of this trope in that he's a Nazi trying to pull this off; he believes in their vision but thinks that the Fuhrer specifically was to blame for Germany losing the war, so he wants to make sure they start the war with a more effective leader (three guesses on who he has in mind). True to the trope, though, his efforts are All for Nothing; the mechanism only sends you back to the Battle of Syracuse as part of Archimedes' attempt to stop the Romans. And the whole thing was a Stable Time Loop, furthering the fact his efforts were in vain
  • Officer Barbrady and Sergeant Harrison Yates, Co-Gods of Useless Police: the world of South Park is one full of idiots, and the police are no exception. Barbrady and Yates represent police incompetence, but in different ways. While Barbrady is technically a Token Good Cop, he's a complete idiot who was illiterate until "Chickenlover" and is usually unable to deal with the situation at hand.
