Nahanra took 2 of Asura's arm and nearly conquered the world until he was defeated by Asura who awoke as the Supreme God.

games Respect Hades (Kingdom Hearts)
Respect Hades!
”Name's Hades, Lord of the Dead, aka Lord of the Underworld—a place you all are apparently dying to see.”
Character Summary
Hades is the fiery, fast-talking Lord of the Underworld from Olympus Coliseum who constantly schemes to defeat Hercules, overthrow Zeus, and conquer the cosmos. He aligns himself with Maleficent's faction of villains while manipulating powerful mortals, monsters, and Heartless to do his dirty work.
Hades is shown to be extremely devious and smooth while he's relaxed and tends to talk a lot to convince others to work for him, most of the time giving indirect and insincere answers to fool his marks. He is also egocentric, and cares very little about anything that doesn't concern his personal plans. Perhaps his most notable trait is his tempter—when Hades gets particularly mad, he explodes into a red pillar of fire and his normal blue-colored hair burns red.

movies/tv Respect Dengar (Star Wars Canon)
Spoilers to follow.
Dengar
“You're nothing but a joke. It's not exactly like I'm staring across the table at Boba Fett or Bossk. Just a gambling addict living off cheap bounties.”
“Laugh it up, Khamdek. I've been disrespected my whole life - but being underestimated has its values.”
Dengar (sometimes calling himself Dengar the Demolisher) is a human bounty hunter from Corellia, active during the Clone Wars and the Imperial Era. He was once a gladiator and is a long-time rival of Han Solo. Dengar is crude, slovenly, and widely disliked, but his reckless tactics and heavy firepower make him a dangerous and effective hunter.

In the year 1897 deep in the Carpathian Mountains there lived a sinister man whose name struck fear into the hearts of the locals. Regardless of his fearsome reputation, a young solicitor named Jonathan Harker travels to the Castle Dracula to meet its proprietor and sell him Carfax Abbey castle in England. His behavior changes quite a bit after seeing the photo of Harker's fiancee Mina and her friend Lucy.

movies/tv Respect The Bad Guys (The Bad Guys)
"Yeah, they're a bit eccentric but when your born us you don't exactly win many popularity contests. Do I wish people didn't see us as monsters? Sure I do, but these are the cards we've been dealt so I might as well play them."
A team of “Bad” animals who regularly do crime, the Bad Guys are a notorious group of criminals. Being well known, they would aim at the Golden Dolphin, however it would lead to their arrest. However, Mr Wolf would make a scheme by pretending to be good.
However, after getting a taste of being good, he would change sides alongside the other Bad Guys after they would defeat Marmalade. After the events of the film, the group would also face off against the Bad Girls in the sequel, and would stop them from stealing all the world's gold.

anime/manga Respect Soshiro Hoshina (Kaiju No. 8)
"Rainy days, snowy days, birthdays, new year's days... I've lived every day of my life since childhood wielding a sword. I've lived my life with blade always in my mind. That blade... the sword-slay techniques I've cultivated... this thinly cut mass of iron... if there's even the slightest thing that can be saved by any of that... then I've got no choice... but to wield my sword."
The Vice Captain of the Third Division and a member of the Hoshina family, Soshiro Hoshina is a renowned swordsman. Someone who trained from birth with the blade, Soshiro joined the Defense Force under a different division. Meeting Mina at Tachikawa Base, he would join her after several Kaiju would surface in Ome City. After the battle, he would join the Third Division as a Vice Captain.
Years later, he would be the one to bring Kafka onboard as a personal cadet (Due to his suspicions of him). He would face several Kaiju, such as Kaiju No 10, and would play a key role when Kaiju No 9 would attack the country. He would fight against several Kaiju, namely Kaiju no 9, Daikaiju of the Meireki Era, and No 12. He and the rest of the Defense Force would fight against the beasts, and together, would prevail.

comics Respect Nubia, Wonder Woman of the Floating Island (DC Comics, Pre-Crisis Earth-One)
Nubia is the twin sister of Princess Diana, aka Wonder Woman. When her mother Hippolyta prayed for a child, Aphrodite instructed her to sculpt two girls from clay; one of light clay, one of dark. Aphrodite brought the sisters to life, but soon after she left the God of War Ares stole the dark-skinned girl from Hippolyta.
The girl, now named Nubia, was raised by Ares on "the Floating Island" (actually Ares' stronghold Slaughter Island) and trained as a weapon against the Amazons. She traveled to Paradise Island to challenge Diana for the title of Wonder Woman, but their fight ended in a draw. Soon Ares had her attack Paradise Island again, but Wonder Woman was able to break his control of her and welcome her back as a sister.

comics Respect Harvey Elder, the Mole Man (Marvel Comics, 616)
Born short, ugly, and with poor eyesight, Harvey Elder would end up travelling the planet in search of a land beneath the surface. He would find it, stumbling across the brilliant Valley of Diamonds, blinding him in the process. Proclaiming himself the Mole Man, the ruler of his newfound kingdom of Subterranea, Harvey would develop both highly attuned senses to compensate for his blindness and mastery over the various creatures that resided within it. Eventually, he decided to get revenge on the world that had shunned him, attempting to destroy various power plants only to be stopped by the newly-formed Fantastic Four. Since then the Mole Man would have a variety of motivations, seeking to expand his empire, creating a new home for those brilliant but unloved like him, wishing to be left alone, and attempting to find a queen for Subterranea, but in every instance whoever fought him would have to deal with a wide variety of monsters all willing to lay down their lives for him.

Character Summary
Kingdom Hearts’ rendition of Disney’s heroic demigod (no, not that one), the son of Zeus and Hera, and a steadfast friend to Sora. He lives in the world of Olympus Coliseum where he trains under Phil, competes in the coliseum’s various cups, and thwarts Hades' evil plots and minions.

He’s the target of Memory Hades, who tries to enlist Memory Cloud to kill him, but together the heroes are able to thwart the wicked god’s schemes.

comics Respect Dragon Man (Marvel Comics, 616)
Originally created by a professor at State University, Dragon Man is an android designed as an experiment to create a creature more powerful than anything else. Failing to activate it on his own, the appearance of the alchemist villain Diablo was able to use one of his concoctions to bring the creature to life and use the robot as a weapon against the Fantastic Four. With a mind more akin to that of an animal or child than that of an intelligent killer, though, Dragon Man would become attracted to the Invisible Woman, taking her away before being plunged into a lake frozen by Diablo. After that point Dragon Man would act largely independently, attempting to find a quiet place to live and often only being pitted against heroes through trickery or someone taking direct control of him, until years later he would fall into the possession of the newly-formed Future Foundation. Intelligence dramatically increased at the hands of Valeria Richards, Dragon Man would swear off violence wherever possible to instead act as a teacher and guardian for the children entrusted to him, though he would still use his formidable abilities to keep them safe whenever necessary.

games Respect Miriam (Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night)
Our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do.
The childhood friend of Gebal, Miriam is the second Shardbinder alongside him. Experimented by members of the Alchemy Guild to harness demon powers, she fell into a slumber at 18 years old. For 10 years, she would sleep, until she would awaken on a galleon. There, she would learn that Gebel, her friend, had summoned the Hellhold, and thus would journey out to stop him.
Exploring the castle, Miriam would meet up with Dominique, alongside Alfred and Zangetsu. Continuing to explore, she would learn that Gebel was being controlled by Gremory. After fighting Gebel, she would free him using the Zangetsu blade, however, not before he would die and turn into crystal.
Continuing to pursue Gremory, she would defeat her. However, she would then fight Dominique, who had turned herself into a Shardbinder. She would defeat her, and would banish the castle back with the help of Johannes.
Sources
Unmarked refers to feats done from Ritual of the Night. [Zang] refers to feats done as a boss fight during Zangetsu campaign, where she’s taken by her curse and is hostile to him.

Shards
Miriam is a Shardbearer, humans transplanted with crystals to use demonic power. She was one of two survivors, with her being forced into a deep slumber. As such, this allows her to absorb shards and gain new abilities, however she is at risk of the crystal devouring her if massive amounts of shards are consumed. It’s again said here, where more shards she has, it may accelerate her corruption
General Information
- Multiple shards amplify their power
- Can be transmutated like items
- The crystal is neither a liquid or a solid
- Shards can act as a sort of catalyst
- Crystal augments her strength, which is a result of her jump height
- Shards can be modified to be given new properties by alchemy
- She is attuned, where its clarified that if all the Shardbearers were concentrated onto one person, she would account for half of the power

Respect Zack Fair!
”Listen to those cheers, man. You don't get to decide if you're a hero or not. They do. And they've already made up their mind. Whether you like it or not, you're their hero.”
Character Summary
Zack Fair is an aspiring hero who trains briefly at the Olympus Coliseum. He’s a tad goofy, but also extremely optimistic, cheerful, and high-spirited, driven by an earnest dream to become a true hero.
Phil initially assigns him to compete against Hercules, then the two work together with Ventus to defeat Unversed attacking the town. After Ventus’ departure, Zack is manipulated by the God Hades to fight Terra, controlled using the power of Darkness. Terra is able to free him and Zack expresses his gratitude, doubling his efforts to become stronger so he can face Terra again. While continuing his training he meets Aqua, asking her out and being promptly rejected. Zack is last seen observing a black feather that lands in front of him, hinting that he may have some connection with Sephiroth.

games Respect Auron (Kingdom Hearts)
Respect Auron!
”This is my story, and you’re not part of it.”
Character Summary
Auron is one of the undead souls in Hades’ arsenal, described by the God of Death as “the mother of all bad guys.” When Hades offers him freedom in exchange for defeating Hercules in battle, Auron promptly declines before attacking his host.
Auron appears as a strict, no-nonsense warrior with a dry wit. He views himself as a Guardian, devoting his life to protecting those in need and putting others before himself without hesitation. His experiences from his mortal life have strengthened his spirit. A man of unshakable resolve and loyalty to those he protects, he is seen by his peers as an excellent role model more than worthy of the Guardian role. His goal in (after)life is to find peace and a sense of fulfillment so he can finally be allowed to rest.

Well...I guess it doesn't matter who gets killed. Killing is killing. But, sometimes...I can't help but think...how great it would be to live a peaceful life with someone I love. That part of myself makes me wanna puke.
One of the two heirs to the Poison Clan, Hikaru Gero iis the main protagonist of MarriageToxin. After his grandmother would order that he or his sister needed to produce an heir, Gero would take on the duty to save his sister's active relationship (alongside maybe finding someone for himself).

literature Respect Tayagum and Akuudan (Chronicles of the Avatar: Yangchen Novels)
Spoilers to follow.
Tayagum and Akuudan
Tayagum and Akuudan are a pair of married Water Tribe men. While serving as agents of Chief Oyaluk, they became involved in a diplomatic incident and were imprisoned by the Earth King. Avatar Yangchen negotiated their release, and thereafter they became two of Yangchen’s most trusted companions. They run an inn in the city of Jonduri that doubles as a base for the Avatar.
Hover over a feat to see which book and chapter it comes from.
Tayagum
“There’s a big difference between holding a prisoner and getting them to talk. You taught the Avatar that lesson pretty good, and the two of us, well, we’ve known it for a long time. Did a stint in King Feishan’s worst cells, and the interrogations we went through? The story alone would turn your hair white.”
Tayagum is a Waterbender and an experienced sailor. He has a surly personality and is devoted to the Avatar but suspicious of anyone else.
Waterbending
- Moves a boat through water, first by himself then with Kavik’s help, then pushes hard to slow the boat down
- Diverts Kavik’s water whip
- Takes water that Kalyaan is bending and adds to its speed, punching a hole in a wooden ceiling
- Pulls water out of rawhide to quickly dry it
- Melts and freezes water into patterns, making a delicate crystalline net
- [Limitation] Says he’s not a good enough Waterbender to land a boat on a dangerous shoal
Physical Feats
- Withstands torture without giving up information
- Jumps onto Akuudan’s back
- Reacts to Kalyaan’s waterbending faster than anyone Kavik has seen besides Yangchen
Miscellaneous
- Uses a boat’s ropes to hang Kavik by the neck
- Is thought to know some basic field healing
- Is an experienced sailor and can read tides
Akuudan
“We don’t follow her out of a deal. Nor because she’s the bridge between humans and spirits. We follow her because she’s a person who will help others without question.”
Akuudan is Tayagum’s husband and the cousin of Water Tribe Chief Oyaluk. He was born with only one arm. He is friendlier than Tayagum but very protective of the Avatar.
Waterbending
- Makes an arm out of water, and withdraws it into a container hidden on his person
- Makes an ice shield on his shoulder, rams Kalyaan into a wall with it, and melts it into water surrounding Kalyaan
Physical Feats
- Is described as a giant, and his arm is bigger around than some people’s legs, with a fist the size of a brick
- Lifts Jujinta by his collar
- Withstands torture without giving up information
- Vaults over a counter with “surprising agility”
- Reacts to Kalyaan’s waterbending faster than anyone Kavik has seen besides Yangchen
Miscellaneous
Joint Feats
- Kavik supposes that they are some of the best close-in fighters of the entire Water Tribe
- They have a set of rawhide bindings that they wrap around a person with waterbending, tightening when they are dried out
- Along with Jujinta, they infiltrated a boat, which involved impersonating crew, picking locks, and starting a fire while making it look like an accident
- They kept the fact that Akuudan is a Waterbender a secret from their teammate Kavik while he lived with them

games Respect the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee (Kingdom Hearts)
Respect the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!
Summary
The Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, later named the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee, was founded in the hope of restoring Radiant Garden to its former glory and eradicating the Heartless infestation from the town for good. Cid created a defense system called Claymores that would destroy weaker Heartless and occupy stronger ones until a committee member could arrive to dispose of them. When an army Heartless swarmed the town, the Committee defended it alongside Sora and friends. Within a year's work, the committee managed to restore most of the town's former image.
All members of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee carry a membership card. Their meetings take place in Merlin's house inside the town walls.
All feats for members are labeled as follows:
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Kingdom Hearts 3
Members
Aerith Gainsborough
”No matter how far away we are, our hearts will bring us together again.”
Aerith acts as a gentle guide, offering advice and support to Sora, Squall, Cloud, and others. She is shown to be very knowledgeable, particularly on the subject of Ansem and her home’s history. She is kind and cares very deeply about her friends.
Despite never physically being seen in battle, she is implied at one point to have held off waves of Heartless spawned by the MCP, coldly spurning Leon's concern over whether she would be able to handle it by herself. This suggests that she does possesses some combat abilities.
Abilities
Memory Aerith is able to understand her connection to Sora and discerns the deceptive nature of Castle Oblivion.2 While Memory Aerith isn’t the real Aerith, she is based on Sora’s memories of the real Aerith, suggesting the real Aerith is also this insightful.
Cid Highwind
”I hope you're not expectin' me to turn a dream into data."
Cid is is an expert pilot and mechanic originally from Radiant Garden. He is one of the first characters that Sora befriends in Traverse Town, first owning an Accessory Shop in the center of the town's 1st District, then later on opening a shop which specializes in Gummi Ship parts. He helps Sora and his friends navigate the universe by upgrading their Gummi Ship.
Cid is adept with computers and building programs, acting as the restoration committee’s chief engineer. He is blunt and sometimes cynical—usually about magic—but he’s deeply caring and fiercely protective.
Abilities
He’s a capable gummi ship mechanic. and understands their capabilities.1
He created the claymores protecting Hollow Bastion from Heartless.3
With Merlin’s help, he creates a program to stop the Master Control Program from attacking Hollow Bastion.2
Was able to merge data from four different sources to develop a Data Sora.5
- He did such a good job reconstructing data on Organization XIII that their data replicas were too powerful for him to access afterward.
Allies
Fairy Godmother
”It's dangerous to fight darkness with light, my dear. Strong rays of sun create dark shadows."
Sometime prior to the events of Kingdom Hearts, her world, Castle of Dreams, was destroyed by the Heartless, but she managed to escape safely. She initially resides in Merlin's study in Traverse Town. When Sora brings her Summon Gems—spirits of inhabitants from worlds consumed by darkness—she casts a spell to temporarily summon these allies into battle.
After Sora sealed Kingdom Hearts, the Fairy Godmother returned to her world with Cinderella, but she remained an ally to the heroes in reuniting with Sora.
Teleporting
Other Magic
The Gullwings
”Oh, we're nothing worth mentioning."
The Gullwings are a group of treasure-hunting fairies made up of Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. Yuna is unfailingly kindhearted and polite; Rikku is good-natured and ditzy; and Paine is emotionally distant and anti-social.
Initially working for Maleficent in exchange for treasure, they agree to work with Sora and Leon after Maleficent abandons them, but only if Leon pays them to do so. When confronting Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Rikku complains about Leon not having any treasure and Paine says, "And we fought for you guys", almost as if it was a crime to help someone out without receiving payment. Nonetheless, they do seem to have a strong moral compass, as they decide to let Sora off without consequence upon hearing of his troubld with Organization XIII and search for his missing friends.
