31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
20: Teenage Antichrist
Now, this won’t be 100% literal because the Buffyverse has multiple Hells, the Devil as a title, and despite having been in one Heaven Buffy says there’s “nothing solid” on the existence of God.
But there’s plenty of room for a not-so-good kind of Chosen One in the setting, like Connor in Angel. Never mind all the other urban fantasy series about this kind of thing.
“Oh I am an Anti-Christ, and I am an anarchist”
Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the U.K.
The Antichrist had just starred in The Omen a few months before that song came out. It went on to feature in the soundtrack of another Antichrist movie, Fear No Evil in 1981, which made the Antichrist a sympathetic character, a bullied high school outsider.
And these days we might have more rebellious heroic Antichrists than ones doing the job. The Omen was a big enough hit that lots of things are still reacting against its defining take on the character.
See Hellboy, Son Of Satan, The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina and Calla Cthulhu in comics, Good Omens in books and on TV, Reaper, Marti Noxon’s Point Pleasant, at least one of the Winchester brothers at some point in Supernatural, and currently Little Demon.
But avoiding the Antichrist brand name, being marked for supernatural badness can come in many forms. And here’s one who could end up as the main character in a Buffyverse spinoff.
Seth Kelly
Type: Hero
 |
| Matt Lintz |
Description: Seems like a nice boy
Example quote: “So, um. I might destroy the world. I’ll understand if that means you don’t want to go steady.”
Seth’s grandfather claims to be the last man to escape from Hell, and that his lineage will “open the way”. Seth’s mom doesn’t really talk to her parents all that much. But now he’s turned seventeen, people - and beings that may or may not qualify as people - are taking an interest in him. Oh, and he can see disguised demons for what they really are.
