Line 10:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* There used to be a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' spin-off comic called "Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer".
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 26:
== [[Anime]] ==
* The first, and by far the most powerful angel in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The mere act of waking up this being wiped out half the population of earth and changed most of the major landmass. Oh, and when Adam woke up it's four wings were large enough to be visible from space.
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 90:
* Averted in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' apparently.
* [[Diablo|Archbishop Lazarus of Tristram]]. If Big D isn't running the show, he is. Then again, Big D is ''always'' running the show. Still, the guy's a bastard.
* Father Lazarus, a Forsaken (read: undead) priest trainer in ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.
* Referenced in ''[[Command
* Lazarus in ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' is a radio host, focusing on conspiracy theories. [[Properly Paranoid|Most of the time he's right.]]
* The [[Big Bad]] in the obscure PSX driving combat game ''Auto Destruct''.
Line 100:
== Moloch ==
A Biblical god/demon who [[Demonization|according to his enemies]] went in for child sacrifice by fire.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 117:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [[Girl Genius|Moloch von Zinzer]] really ''sounds'' like a name to run away from, but compared to some of the other characters he's a fuzzy-wuzzy teddy bear.
Line 139:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Incredible Hulk]]'' [[Genius Bruiser]] Doc Samson.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
Line 177:
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Lost]]'' has a lot of Biblical names. Ironically, the show's resident [[Magnificent Bastard]] is named Benjamin. This should refer to Jacob, too, now that Ben has started to turn into the real powers' [[Butt Monkey]].
* ''[[Carnivale]]'', fittingly enough for a show about Biblical catastrophes and superpowered beings, has many Biblical names, but not among the villains. The only Biblical connection on the dark side is Tommy Dolan, his first name being an excellent and prophetic reference to "doubting Thomas".
* The fourth season of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' featured as its [[Big Bad]] one Samuel Sullivan, a [[Dark Messiah]] who promised to lead the "[[Differently-Powered Individual|specials]]" to a promised land where they would be free of persecution. In the Bible, Samuel is the prophet who essentially founded the Kingdom of Israel.
