To be added
== Personality ==
Tantrus is pure evil. He brings death & misery with him everywhere he goes, & he's more than eager to share it with unsuspecting victims. He preys on the weak & respects the strong, as evident by his conversation with Birdman prior to their fight. In that same scene, he also proved that he is a tempter, clawing his way into someone's mind & trying to weed out their innermost desires as a means of making them give into temptation. 
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Demonic Strength: Tantrus is incredibly strong, able to combat Birdman & Hazard Man, who are two of the strongest Mutants on planet Earth. As seen in their fight, he was able to physically overpower Birdman, even for a brief moment. He was also able to easily defeat Unwoak. He is powerful enough to destroy a small country, as he laid waste to Romania & possibly France.
Demonic Speed: Tantrus has very fast reflexes, as he was able to quickly react to Hazard Man rapidly firing his Frost Gun, keep up with Birdman in a one-on-one fight, & is even faster when in midair. With all of that added to how he was able to fly across continents alongside Valak in a manner of minutes, he can move at massively hypersonic speeds.
Invulnerability: Tantrus is very durable. He can withstand Hazard Man's radioactive attacks & is immune to their hazardous side effects, though not their concussive force. He was also able to trade blows with Birdman, who eventually got the better of him in the end. Unfortunately for Tantrus, by the time their fight was over he was visibly tired. 
Immortality: Tantrus is immortal in that he cannot age & cannot be killed. However, he loses his deathless immortality when manifesting in the physical world, meaning he can be killed with sufficient powers, but he is still sent back to Hell.
Flight: Tantrus can fly from Romania to the United States in 5 minutes, moving at a massively hypersonic 1,393,200 miles per hour.
=== Special Powers ===
Sin Manipulation: Tantrus is aligned with the Seven Deadly Sins, able to detect where they are being practiced & can become empowered by the evil done by them.
Soul Manipulation: Tantrus can alter & steal one's soul.
* Possession: Like all Demons, Tantrus can possess living beings. It is unknown if he can do the same to inanimate objects.
* Armageddon Stare: Tantrus' signature attack is to have someone look into his eyes & cause them to go insane & kill themselves by removing all hope from their spirit. This attack was once performed on a large quantity of people in Romania & it created a mass suicide. The exact death toll of his victims is unknown, but it is likely a very high number
Teleportation: Tantrus can disappear & reappear elsewhere at will.
* Helleportation: Tantrus can traverse through Hell & into the living world. He can stay for as long as he wants to if he remains in control.
Telepathy: Tantrus can communicate with others using his mind, which also allows him to know if one of his demonic comrades is in danger.
Telekinesis: Tantrus can move objects with his mind, usually applying a hand gesture when doing so.
Dark Magic: As a Demon, Tantrus has an affinity for the dark arts.
* Voice Mimicry: Tantrus can perfectly mimic his voice to sound like someone else's, so long as he's already heard what they sound like.
* Crimson Madness Fields: Tantrus can erect force fields that are spherical in shape. If you are inside his force field, it does not protect you, but instead makes you susceptible to his powers. In a way, you're literally within his sphere of influence.
* Reality Warping: Despite not being one of the most powerful Demons Hell has to offer, Tantrus is still quite powerful, & has a low degree of reality warping. For instance, he can alter his surroundings to resemble Hell itself, turning the sky red on command. Even in his presence, mere mortals tremble in fear as the sound of the howling wind starts to sound unearthly.
* Umbrakinesis: Tantrus can control the element of darkness.
**Dark Encasement: Tantrus can surround himself in a field of shadows, & usually does this whenever he takes flight.
**Shadowport: He can teleport through shadows if he wants to.
*Pyrokinesis: Tantrus can command the fires of Hell to perform dangerous attacks.
**Crimson Optical Beams: He can concentrate hellfire through his eyes as a pair of focused lazer beams which can burn your body & soul. Should you survive, you'll still have some years subtracted from your lifespan.
**Flaming Skulls: He can throw skulls encased in fire as projectiles.
**Darkfire Breath: He can breathe out a stream of black flames from his mouth. This attack is at least equal in potency to Birdman's Phoenix Flame, & can burn your soul as well as your body.
**Burning Darkness: He can make his hands too hot to touch, encasing them in a black smoke when doing so.
== Weaknesses ==
Like all unholy creatures, Tantrus is weak to holy weapons, & is susceptible to an exorcism if done correctly. Also, if one is immune to vision-based attacks or if they have a very strong willpower, his Armageddon Stare will not work on them.
== Trivia ==
* He is based off of the unseen monsters from the Netflix film, Bird Box. The evil entities featured in that film did have an appearance in mind, but it was scrapped & the monsters remained unseen during the movie. Based on the design they chose, their face was very similar to Tantrus', resembling a demonic baby.
* His name comes from the word "tantrum", in reference to the fact that he has a literal baby face.
* Some aspects of him are similar to Quan Chi from the Mortal Kombat series; they are both demonic villains who wear black clothing, have pale white skin, & use magical flaming skulls as projectiles.
* He doesn't like birds.
