A protective deity in the Chinese pantheon. Nezha, also known as the Marshall of the Cental Altar in taoist circles started his life in mythology as a rebellious, troublemaking child that had his energies refocused into becoming commander of the heavenly battalions. Despite all of that a lot of his worshippers still hold his rebellious child image dear, offering a relook at his tumultuous psyche everytime his story is retold.
This particular form of his, with three heads and six arms （三头六臂） has also evolved into being a synonym for being or feeling invincible.
See more of him in Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (1979), Nezha 1 (2019), Nezha 2 (2025), Investiture of the Gods (Multiple adaptations)
