The Antichrist, composed of all the evils that oppose the righteous.
| “ | A servant of Satan, he is to be worshipped like a king, and then his true nature will be revealed. He will become the greatest tyrant the world has ever seen. Plunging it into darkness, plague, famine, and war. The end of days. Until he is defeated by the returned Christ during the Last Judgment. | „ |
| ~ Tomas Ortega |
The Antichrist, also known as the King of Terror, the False Messiah, or the Beast of the Earth, is a figure described in the Book of Revelation within the Christian Bible, whom is the antithesis and ultimate enemy of Jesus Christ.
He is the archenemy of Christianity and is considered to be the final opponent that mankind shall face before their eventual liberation by God. Islam, though having a different view on Jesus, also recognize the Antichrist, calling him Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, the "false messiah, liar, the deceiver".
Description
Depictions of the Antichrist vary widely depending on the source and are often a product of political unrest as it was, and remains, a popular tool of propaganda to infer that your enemy is in some way the Antichrist and thus a figure that must be defeated for the good of all humanity. Therefore he may be considered the secondary antagonist in Christianity, the first being The Devil. The Antichrist has no true form, instead it is revealed that he is comprised of all the corruption and evil that befall and spread throughout humanity.
Although traditionally seen as a single entity, there are some people who believe that the Antichrist is actually a being that returns several times throughout human history. This is especially prominent in works by Nostradamus, who depicted the Antichrist in historical-figures such as Napoleon, Adolf Hitler and other historical tyrants as well as traditional enemies of the Christian church such as the Roman Empire; prior to its conversion to Christianity. In contemporary times, the Antichrist is expected to rise from either political, religious, occult or economic backgrounds. Notably dispensationalist Christians believe he will emerge from either a Catholic, Atheistic, Agnostic, Jewish or New Age-background.

Overview
The role of the Antichrist, whether it be the singular figure or the ageless figure depicted by Nostradamus, remains the same. His sole mission is to tempt mankind and lead nations to war, to cause sin, corruption to rise, and basically create Hell on Earth. It is taken to its logical conclusion the Antichrist is doing the exact opposite of what Jesus was doing when he was alive. It is said that he will disguise himself as a humanitarian well known in the world, and will trick the disbelievers with speeches of peace, prosperity and plenty but not to lead them to God, but as ends in themselves.
Satan will then ally himself or even possess the Antichrist, where he will set images of himself on the temple of Temple Mount and demand the entire world to worship as a god. The False Prophet will perform many satanic miracles and wonders such as bringing fire down from Heaven to convince everyone that he is the messiah. The Antichrist will command everyone that in order to worship him, they must take the mark of the Beast on their foreheads or hands or otherwise, they will not be able to buy and sell goods. Those who do not take the mark of the Beast are horribly persecuted in a worldwide genocide committed by the Antichrist.
During the final years of the Tribulation, the Antichrist and the False Prophet will lead many nations to wage a global war in the Battle of Armageddon, which coincides with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. As soon as Jesus Christ and His heavenly armies appear in the heavens, which consist of angels, saved Christians and those who were among the Rapture, the Antichrist and his armies immediately fire at them and attack them. Jesus proceeds to send fire from His mouth in time, destroying the majority of the Antichrist's armies. The Antichrist and the False Prophet are thrown into the Lake of Fire, where they are tormented by the fires for eternity and Satan is locked up in a bottomless pit.
Powers and Abilities
The Antichrist is said to be comprised of all the evils that oppose the virtuous and is thus seen as a monstrously powerful being of evil and sin. The Antichrist would be born through the injured head of The Beast whereby it absorbs all the evil and sin from the world that the Beast collected during the machinations of the Illuminati and the forces of the Apocalypse. Once the Antichrist presents himself before the allied forces, Nero was the first to begrudgingly admit that he is far stronger than him with John Constantine stating that even in his first stage, he is beyond any of them and should he reach his third and final completed stage it'll be "game over".
The Antichrist was able to compete with and overwhelm the first wave of attacks from the allied forces, especially since he is linked with the Beast itself. He could match and even exceed Kraven Salvatore's speed, block an onslaught of attacks from Nero, Ling Yao, and Tanjiro with his fingers alone, and dispel both Zapp Renfro and Zed O'Brien's strongest Big Dipper Blood Battle techniques with ease. He displayed numerous deadly and destructive abilities, such as channeling and firing spheres of energy used by the Beast from his hands, produce shadowy thorny vines or tree branches which can also fire the same spheres of energy and could even manipulate the form of the Beast. The shadowy veil that completely coats his body is malleable, able to be shaped into various forms for different uses, such as high speed projectiles, protective barriers, explosives, and various weapons.
In his second, but more controlled, phase the Antichrist has total dominion over his immeasurable power. He was able to compete with Caspian, Voula, Mehmet, and Miguel the four lycan elders and the most powerful werewolves on Earth, in many instances even having them struggle against his overwhelming might though he himself was momentarily pushed back by their own enormous power. The Antichrist only found himself being pushed when the four elder wolves accessed the deepest and most spiritual depths of their Munin Howl, channelling the power of the wolf spirit that reside in their blades to its fullest potential. The Antichrist was able to dispel their attacks for a brief period of time until he resorted to assuming his ultimate form which was the Beast of the Earth. In this form, the Antichrist fought on equal footing with the four elder wolves for a considerable period of time even with Spawn aiding them. He was only defeated when he lost control of his sense of self, after which he was mortally wounded by a combined attack from the four wolves and their respective packs.
