LORD HATER

First Appearance:  Patreon Exclusive Comics #138

Dimension: Scratch Space

Allegiance: Evil

Not much is known about the past of the Universe’s Self-Proclaimed Greatest Villain: Lord Hater. All that is known is that he leads an army called the Watchdogs and is on a campaign to take over the Galaxy. Everything was going well for him until he came across a planet Bingleborp. It was going well until an Orange Spoon looking Alien came up to him. This was Lord Hater’s first encounter with Wander.

After being defeated by Wander and Sylvia, Lord Hater made it his mission to destroy Wander anytime he spots him, even if it means missing out on something that can help him take over the Galaxy. But when a new threat came in to take over his racket, Lord Hater set his sights on ensuring Lord Dominator would be defeated. That is until he realized she’s a girl, thus now interested in creating a relationship.

Eventually, he would break out of that mindset and help the Galaxy defeat Lord Dominator once and for all. With her gone and the planets being restored, now Lord Hater can get back to taking over the Galaxy and ensuring Wander is destroyed once and for all. He continues to do this in Scratch Space, now part of an evil group.

LAUNCHPAD MCQUACK

First Appearance: Darkwing Beyond #15

Dimension: Paradise

Allegiance: Hero

Launchpad comes from a family of pilots and was one for Scrooge McDuck. He continued to do so until he heard about Darkwing Duck. He became Darkwing Duck's number one fan and created a plane based on him which he calls the Thunder Quack. When he met Darkwing for the first time, he tried to become his sidekick but Darkwing refused at the time. When he needed help to rescue Gosalyn from Taurus Bulba, the two united to save St. Canard and Gosalyn.

Since then, Launchpad served as Darkwing's sidekick, mostly serving as a pilot but becoming trained to be more. After the St. Canard Incident, where he was helping Darkwing capture the Fearsome Five, Launchpad died along with those involved. Because Launchpad lived a good life, which includes helping the Junior Woodchucks, he is currently in Paradise.

First Version Ripped from Darkwing Duck (NES).

Current version by Haz.

Fun Facts:

Not sure if I should make Launchpad sprites to go with the new Darkwing sprites. He looks pretty good as is.

THE SPRITE EATER

First Appearance: AkumaTh's Comics #53

Dimension: Hades

Allegiance: Evil

The Sprite Eaters are normally scavengers who eat up the remains of an old universe to make way for a new. Recently, younger Sprite Eaters have gone on to attack the still fresh Universes and corrupt themselves. But what inspired them to do so? An Elder Sprite Eater, one of the oldest at the time, was on the verge of dying due to malnutrition. In an act of desperation, he feasted upon a still fresh Universe and soon craved more.

Overtime, multiple universes have prematurely ended due to its hands. Its legend has inspired various nightmares across all space time, each with their own variations of his tale. But it would be one dimension where he would suffer his first defeat. In the dimension now known as the Prime AkumaVerse, he fought the Author of that Dimension and saw his defeat.

While he escaped the first time, he swore to return to get his revenge. He ate more universes to become even more powerful and returned to finally eat that world. But this time, he saw his death. In his last action alive, he would create the Undertaker for the sole purpose of getting the revenge he couldn’t. But his son evolved beyond his intentions and the Sprite Eater’s soul was sold to the one controlling Hades at the time.

But since that ruler has been overthrown, the Sprite Eater once again resides in Hades. This time with a desire to not only get revenge on the Dimension that escaped him but his son for betraying him.

Sprite Credit

First version by AkumaTh.

Current version by Creepy.

Fun Fact:

The Original Sprite Eater sprite was just the combination of Two Scorpion Badniks put together.

TERMINOLOGY - THE WORLD SPRITERS TOURNAMENT

Found In: Commentary Team/Prime AkumaVerse

There are two different versions of the World Spriters Tournament. The First is a OC Tournament on the Middle Ground. When it happens, people sign up with comics and compete against each other by trying to make the better fight between the two. The winner of a round is either determined by public voting or judges’ decision. This continues until we have a winner. While the archives end in 2013, there have been other tournaments as well as other hosts.

In the Prime AkumaVerse, it is an interdimensional tournament that a Sprite Eater created. His intention is to unite multiple worlds and hope to see connections made. Originally a yearly event, since it has grown he has moved it to a Biennial event. So while the 47th one has passed, it has been going on for 57 years. Besides the tournament, many booths are open for interdimensional trade and experiences. 

Regardless of which version it is, the winner of the Tournament will receive one wish. AkumaTh hopes to bring back the WST to be bigger with an actual cash prize, but until then it is for fun.

KALINKA COSSACK

First Appearance: AkumaTh's Comics #1076

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

The Daughter of Dr. Cossack, Kalinka was hoping to follow in her father’s footsteps. But when Dr. Wily kidnapped her, she worried that his reputation would be ruined. Luckily for her, Proto Man saved her and the truth was revealed. Since then, she swore she would get revenge on Dr. Wily for making her father use his Robots to attack people. That’s right, she didn’t know the truth.

After Albert’s Death, Kalinka has decided to place her anger on his daughter: Jenny Wily. One day, he went towards her to attack. Despite her best efforts, none of her robots could fight off the Robot Masters. Even taking one of her father’s robots wasn’t doing much until Dr. Cossack himself arrived and revealed the truth. Despite that, Kalinka still continues to try to improve her skills so one day she can prove she’s better than Jenny Wily.

Sprite Credit

First Version was by Ran Cossack

Current Version is by AkumaTh

Fun Facts:

The Current Kalinka sprites are a combination of Ran Cossack's, Auto's and BarylTDF's sprites.

Kalinka's incompetence in Robotics is based off the fact Ran Cossack from Bob and George always dies by being touched. Since I didn't get permission to use Ran (Nor did I asked to use Ran), I thought this would be a good reference to that.

[akumaverse]

DR. MIKHAIL COSSACK

First Appearance: AkumaTh's Comics #1096

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Dr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack is a Russian Robotics Engineer and member of the Stravinsky Science Academy. Alongside his daughter, he lived a normal life for a Robotics Engineer in Russia until Dr. Wily arrived. Wily kidnapped his daughter and his plan was to use the robots Cossack made to make him seem like he was taking over the world. But after seeing the machines made, Dr. Wily decided to create the Robot Masters.

After designing the 8 Robot Masters of the 4th Generation, Dr. Wily forced Dr. Cossack to make a threat and distract Mega Man long enough for his real plan. Like always, Mega Man defeated the Robot Masters and Dr. Cossack. But before he could get punished for the actions he was forced to take, Proto Man revealed the truth and Mega Man went on to defeat Dr. Wily once more.

After that event, Dr. Cossack built Beat as a gift for his savior. And to ensure that Wily would receive punishment he wouldn’t have gotten at the time, the public story was that the 8 Robot Masters were created by Dr. Cossack. But since then, Dr. Cossack tried his best to create robots that could be on par with the likes of Wily and Light. His current creations are the Botaniks, Delta and Giga Man.

First Version by Duke.

Second Version by RyanMC.

Current Version by BarylTDF.

Fun Facts:

GLORIA SILVER

First Appearance: AkumaTh's Comics/Author Space Volley Shot #2

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Gloria was a vampire who was forced to go out on her own and suck the blood of a living being. Failing to do so because she was so young, so unable to seduce people, one person told her she shouldn't live this kind of life and gave her a dime. Nearing sunlight and desperate to eat something, she ate the dime because she had no clue on what to do with it. It turns out by eating that dime, she became a different kind of vampire, a Money Vampire. This gave her some benefits that other vampires do not have, but also new weaknesses. Gloria tends to be in multiple businesses for the sole purpose of making money. She has to eat after all.

Sprite Credit

First Version was by AkumaTh

Current Version by Rob.

Fun Facts:

The Dime is from the same person that gave Scrooge his Lucky Dime.

Gloria Silver was made originally out of boredom, combining an Amy and Rouge sprite made by Brendilin.

TERMINOLOGY - DIMENSION: CREATURE BEARERS

Found In: Dimension: Creature Bearers

This universe was the same as the Prime Pony Universe you are used to knowing. But what was different is Twilight Sparkle. While she was studious, this Twilight was more social than her prime counterpart. So by the time Twilight Sparkle would be finding out about Nightmare Moon’s return, she was preparing for Moon Dancer’s party. Which means no pony was ready for the return of Nightmare Moon. 

As Nightmare Moon took out many possible challengers, the six that would have been the Student Six were amazingly gathered together in Ponyville. Ocellus was sent by Chrysalis to spy on Nightmare Moon. Smolder was looking for a place to sleep at night since the Dragon Lands were in an endless day. Yona was chosen to bring back the Sun in Yakyakistan. Gallus was finding a new home. Silverstream was hoping to thank Nightmare Moon for the Hippogriffs since she defeated the Storm King. Sandbar was just there.

A wild shot, but Sandbar thought that if they all worked together to find the Elements of Harmony, they could all get what they wanted. Reluctantly, they agreed. Like in the original timeline, each one is given a test about their specific Element. Sandbar with Honesty. Ocellus with kindness. Silverstream with laughter. Yona with generosity. Smolder with loyalty. And Gallus with magic. With the Elements, the six of them defeated Nightmare Moon and freed Equestria from Eternal Night.

They decided to stay together and had many adventures. Ocellus helped the other Changelings overthrow Chrysalis. They had a big show in the Grand Galloping Gala. And they all now reside in Ponyville in various locations. But a Cult for Nightmare Moon lead by Starlight Glimmer hopes to restore Nightmare Moon and bring back Eternal night.

TATANGA

First Appearance: AkumaTh’s Comics #1641

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Evil

From a planet so unknown, no space chart has it named, Tatanga wanted to become a universal conqueror. He sought a Magical Artifact that was hidden in Sarasaland. With his Mind Controlling Technology, he enslaved the people there and imprisoned the strong willed Princess. Using her hidden phone, she calls for help. Luckily for her, Luigi took the call for action since Mario was busy rescuing Princess Peach again. Luigi braved Sarasaland, defeated the Guardians and took down Tatanga all on his own. This began the Luigi/Daisy relationship.

But this wasn’t the end of Tatanga. When Wario took over the lands, Tatanga was called to take over the Area that mimicked being in outer space. Without his Hypnotic Machinery, Tatanga didn’t have many allies when Mario came in to defeat the space alien and take back one of the Six Golden Coins. After that, Tatanga went into hiding. He knew that if he wanted to conquer the universe, this world had to fall first. And he needs to defeat the Mario Brothers to do so.

When Bowser retired, he was one of many who thought to kidnap Princess Peach. The Mario Brothers beat him repeatedly. His last straw was an attempt that was thwarted by the SWATKats simply passing him by. Seeing himself lose to such lowly technology, he decided that it is time for a change. His latest plan is to kidnap the Representatives to lure the Marios and finally defeat them.

IGGY KOOPA

First Appearance: (Badly) AkumaTh's Comics #19 | (Officially) AkumaTh's Comics #838

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Iggy Koopa is the middle child of the Koopalings. While Larry seems to think he never had enough, Iggy thinks he never got enough attention. So he seeks it out through trying to be a ladies man. Sadly, they never seem to last because he doesn’t really care about these women. Maybe if he finds the right person he could change, but despite his failed dates he does show a lot more emotional support for his family.

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is by Naraku

Current Version is by AkumaTh

Fun Facts:

Iggy Koopa is the most drastically different from his Modern counterpart. Visually, he's based off his 18-Bit incarnations, making him look like a twin to Lemmy.

I made his shell and eyes green to reference the color of his modern incarnation.

[akumaverse]

LEMMY KOOPA

First Appearance: (Badly) AkumaTh's Comics #19 | (Officially) AkumaTh's Comics #838

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Lemmy is the second oldest of the Koopalings. Between the constant attacks by Mario in the past and the invasion of the Ministry in recent times, Lemmy has become more paranoid about incoming threats to the Kingdom and his family. He goes to therapy to try to deal with it, but whenever something else happens he takes a step back because he saw it coming. Could it be a hidden power?

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is by Naraku.

Current Version by AkumaTh

Fun Facts:

The ages of the Koopalings are based on the order you face them in Super Mario Brothers 3. Thus why Lemmy is considered the second oldest despite his modern depiction making him much younger.

[akumaverse]

LARRY KOOPA

First Appearance: (Badly) AkumaTh's Comics #19 | (Officially) AkumaTh's Comics #838

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

The Youngest of the Koopa Children, Larry is a guy interested in making money. He comes up with multiple Pyramid Schemes to make a lot of money for himself, but they usually end up failing to do so. While he could simply take money from his inheritance, he prefers to earn his own income then to ask for money.

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is by Cylent Nite

Current Version by AkumaTh

Fun Facts:

Larry is the least change among the sprites, as I used Cylent Nite's hair and really only changed the shell's color.

[akumaverse]

MORTON KOOPA JR

First Appearance: (Badly) AkumaTh's Comics #19 | (Officially) AkumaTh's Comics #681

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Morton Koopa is the second youngest of the Koopalings. While he was blessed with incredible strength, Morton is more of a Philosopher than a fighter. He would prefer to think things through over physically forcing things. But if he needs to use his strength he is more than willing to do so.

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is by SonicFreak.

Current Version is by AkumaTh.

Fun Facts:

While Morton is depicted as dim in the current Nintendo games, my direction went in the opposite direction.

[akumaverse]

ROY KOOPA

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Roy Koopa is the third oldest of the Koopalings. Roy Koopa enjoys working out and while he does tease others fully wants others to do their best and work out. At the Koopa Gym, he is considered the Muscle King of the Gym. Many try to take that title from him, but all have failed.

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is by AkumaTh

Current Version by AkumaTh.

Fun Facts:

Roy's work out design is inspired by how in each game he becomes a lot more physically impressive.

[akumaverse]

LUDWIG VON KOOPA

First Appearance: (Badly) AkumaTh's Comics #19 | (Officially) AkumaTh's Comics #503

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Civilian

Ludwig von Koopa is the eldest of the Koopalings via hatching first. This makes him the next in line to take over the Koopa Kingdom if Bowser retires or worse... Ludwig takes this responsibility very seriously as he works hard to be ready for when that time comes. His latest method of doing this is to become the Koopa Kingdom’s representative among the World Council after his mother stepped down to spend more time with her family.

Ludwig is very protective of his family, willing to do what is needed within the law to ensure their safety and happiness. Though as of right now, he seemed to have made a friend with the Mushroom Kingdom Representative. Could there be more to it?

Sprite Credit

First Version was a Rip from Super Mario Brothers 3 for the SNES.

Second Version is a recolor of Bowser by Zin.

Current Version by AkumaTh.

Fun Facts:

Most of the character traits for the children were formed about 400 comics after their initial appearance.

Ludwig's look was based off his Mario 3/World sprites. Thus why he has white hair instead of blue.

I wanted the Koopalings to be upgraded, and I decided to do it myself on a whim.

[akumaverse]

GLITCHES

First Appearance: Twilight and the Ministry - Day 4

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Evil

After the capture of Ashura, Eggman studied his biology and figured out how to replicate the accident. He also figured out how to improve it. So using this new knowledge, he created his Glitch Army so they can be a disposable force. They’re simpler minded than his other machines, because they can be easily destroyed by him and replaced within minutes. 

Forms:

Basic Type - The basic fighters. They are close to the original Ashura, but not as effective.

Energy Type - This version has a stronger focus on Energy Based attacks than the other ones.

Agile Type - This version has a stronger focus on being more agile than the others.

Fighter Type - This version has a stronger focus on fighting than the others.

Super Type - Despite its name, this one has a stronger focus on defense as well as flight.

Wechnia Type - Using a different game with a similar glitch, the Wechnia types are stronger fighters, but slower.

Sprite Credit

Current Versions by Cylent Nite, Nebula, Cyber Shadow, and AkumaTh.

Fun Facts: 

My original idea was to replace the SWATBots as the main soldiers but I feel the disposable nature of them wouldn't be as effective as the more solid versions.

[akumaverse]

SWATBOTS

First Appearance: AkumaTh's Comics #840

Dimension: Prime AkumaVerse

Allegiance: Evil

After Eggman’s E-100 Series, he noticed Omega had become a giant thorn in his side. With how much fire power he had, it required the best AI he could make. And at that time, the better his AI the more likely they will betray him. But if he can lessen the design, he could make up the fire power with numbers. And thus his latest creations: the SWATBots. They’re not as strong as Omega, but they still have enough firepower to be a threat, especially with numbers on their side.

Sprite Credit

Current versions by Cylent Nite recolored by AkumaTh.

Fun Facts:

Yes, these are named after the SatAM robots of the same name.
