Command & Conquer: Tiberium: Difference between revisions

[[File:CNC_Tiberium_Symbol_2099.png|frame|The possibilities of Tiberium... are limitless.]]

 

 

The ''Tiberium'' saga is the "main" ''[[Command and Conquer]]'' series, the continuation of the story introduced in 1995 involving the multinational Global Defense Initiative, the shadowy Brotherhood of Nod, and an alien substance known as Tiberium, which arrived to Earth in a meteor crash in Italy, 1995, and began spreading throughout the world; its rich energy properties and ability to leech minerals out of the ground make it a highly valuable asset.

 

* [[A God Am I]]: Kane plays with this a fair bit. He concedes that he is not God Himself, but certainly a good runner-up. More often he calls himself "[[Dark Messiah|The Messiah]]" and the Brotherhood of NOD "[[Faux Symbolism|the chosen people]]". Kane has been alive and unaged for over a century now, and has successfully deflected shots from an orbital laser cannon with his face, so why not? Not even the [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] know what he is. In ''Renegade'', it's hinted that he may be, or at least may lead his followers in believing that he's ''[[The Bible|that]]'' [[Cain and Abel|Kane]].

'''Kane:''' No, I'm not God... but I'm a close second. }}

** And stated way earlier by his right-hand man, Seth:

* [[Action Girl]]: ''Tiberian Sun'''s Umagon, Sakura and Hotwire in ''Renegade'' (and Sydney Mobius to a lesser extent), and the Nod Commando in ''Tiberium Wars''.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Kane very rarely loses his cool, and is oftentimes even affable towards GDI, whilst he is taunting them about how they [[You Can't Thwart Stage One|cannot possibly stop him]] and [[To the Pain|will all die horribly]].

** Captain Nick Parker, the best commando of GDI during the First Tiberium War. He whouldn't let some fanatical terrorists, mutated freaks of nature, [[Psycho for Hire|psychos for hire]], and one of the greatest [[Magnificent Bastard]] in history stop him from defeating the Brotherhood of Nod and win the war.

** Nod itself might count, given how they managed to survive multiple devastating defeats, and even ''thrive'' in Tiberium-infested wastelands.

* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: Kane likes to announce his return or have a heart-to-heart with an enemy commander this way.

* [[The Dragon]]: Anton Slavik in ''Tiberian Sun''. Incidentally, he's the player's character in the Nod campaign.

* [[Evil Gloating]]: Kane gives a good one to Mike McNeil after breaking through the Hammerfest defenses in ''Tiberian Sun'' and stealing the sonic crystals, leaving behind a broadcast in which he glibly informs him that the sonic tank "will make an excellent addition to my collection", and that he is [[Sarcasm Mode|sorry to hear]] that McNeil's brother died a slow and painful death in the raid.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: CABAL likes to do these during missions in ''Firestorm''.

'''EVA:''' [[Oh Crap|Missile launch detected.]]<br />

'''CABAL:''' ''Kehahahahahahahaha!'' }}

* [[Knight Templar]]: Both GDI and Nod. This actually causes civil wars in ''Twilight'' between die-hards who refuse any sort of Nod-GDI cooperation.

* [[Large Ham]]: "And he cried in a loud voice'', ''Lazarus, come forth!'' And Lazarus did arise from the grave..."

* [[Les Collaborateurs]]: Jake McNeil in ''Tiberian Sun'''s Nod campaign.

* The Obelisk Of [[Light Is Not Good]]
