Im trying to think of cards like Akroma, Angel of Wrath in all corners of the color pie. Im talking expensive creatures with big bodies and 3+ static abilities. Others I know of include obviously Akroma, Angel of Fury, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, and Baneslayer Angel, but I have trouble thinking of cards in other color combos that are this splashy with lots of static abilities.

I know you are looking for splashy creatures but Akroma's Memorial makes even a germ splashy. Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Concerted Effort this would simply be a good idea for what you want. Domri Rade ult can also make lowly germs splashy.
Angel of Invention, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Brisela, Voice of Nightmares, Chromanticore, Drogskol Reaver, It That Rides as One Flip, Ormendahl, Profane Prince Flip, Blightsteel Colossus, Blood Baron of Vizkopa

Bhaal666, I don't mean to split hairs, but germs are typically 0/0, so even with all the abilities, a germ would still die.

Sabertooth Nishoba, Oversoul of Dusk, Iridescent Angel, Pristine Angel, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts are all I can think of...not all have 3+ static's but they kind of feel like their in the same vein...

Wurmlover true but they only come out with equipment that they can survive with and i was just saying that even the weakest creature can be made interesting with the mentioned cards. you can replace "germ" with "saproling" if you prefer.
i forgot to mention the best way to easily find more of the creatures being looked for would be type in one of the keywords you want in the gatherer and scroll on through. it will take time but you will find more oof what you want

I believe Spirit of the Night was supposed to be the original Akroma.

I feel like Sigarda, Host of Herons deserves a spot on this list.
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Surrak Dragonclaw, Teeka's Dragon, Wurmcoil Engine, Two-Headed Dragon, Dragonlord Dromoka, Atarka, World Render, Dragonlord Silumgar, Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund, Ojutai, Soul of Winter, Silumgar, the Drifting Death, Uril, the Miststalker, Anya, Merciless Angel, Archangel Avacyn Flip, Archangel of Thune, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Empyrial Archangel, Lightning Angel, Razia, Boros Archangel, Stoic Angel, Sublime Archangel, Glissa, the Traitor, Vault of the Archangel, Griselbrand, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and Aurelia, the Warleader all have that same Akroma-like feel to me, but some of them technically don't fit one or more conditions of big and 3+ static abilities.

All the legendary Eldrazi deserve mention too
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Emrakul, the Promised End, Hanweir, the Writhing Township, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (and Brisela, Voice of Nightmares, but someone already mentioned her)
I feel like mono-blue and mono-green get the fewest of these type of big, many-static-ability creatures, they mostly belong to dragons demons and angels.

Chromanticore has a few abilities.
