Changes: Discrimination Embodiment

Revision as of 22:57, 22 August 2020

"Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angele? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because through these things we keep him alive. "

― He's Alive (Twilight Zone)

"I don't hate women. I mean, sure, you're all whores who sell yourselves for money or prestige. But men are just as bad. Maybe worse. They're willing to throw away careers or families or even lives for what's under your skirt."

― Billy Blim (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

"Biggest shoveler of hate and racist garbage this side of Hitler himself."

― Sam Wilson/Falcon on Hate Monger (Marvel Comics)

The power of becoming a living embodiment of discrimination. Variation of Hatred Embodiment and Evil Embodiment.

Also Called

Absolute Xenophobia
Xenophobia Embodiment
The Racist

Capabilities

The user of this ability is a living embodiment of discrimination, this is selective and organized oppression of a group for religious, cultural or political reasons - often as an embodiment of discrimination a user feeds on the hatred, misconceptions and general misery they spread.

Furthermore, Discrimination Embodiment is often a slow-acting, highly corruptive form of evil that takes its time in destroying the world around it - they will lie and scheme, they will promise people great power or convince them that they are superior.. they often prey upon the weak and innocent, such as spreading falsehoods about disease or poverty so as to further the suffering of these people.

At its absolute worst Discrimination Embodiment seeks the extermination of not only life but the things that make life worthwhile, such as diversity and knowledge - replacing it instead with stagnation, ignorance, and/or conflict.

Due to this a great many characters of Discrimination Embodiment are evil creatures such as demons, devils, or dark gods but some sufficiently wicked humans have also obtained this state of existence.
