Across the endless reaches of the Omniverse, there was a long pause as the countless worlds were unable to forget the spectacle they had just witnessed.
The clash between Doomsday and SCP-682 not only made them feel powerless but also knew that they wouldn't stand a chance against either of them.
If that's the Omniverse's definition of villains, then what greater horrors might still be waiting beyond the edges of the Omniverse
In the DC Universe, Batman was in his Batcave as he had just finished a contingency plan for SCP-682.
SUBJECT OVERVIEW:
Designation: SCP-682
Type: Highly intelligent, incredibly hostile, near-unkillable reptilian entity.
Threat Level: Global extinction-class. Capable of rapid adaptation to physical, chemical, biological, and conceptual attacks. Displays cunning intelligence, advanced problem-solving abilities, and a deep hatred of all life.
Primary Risk: Absolute invulnerability coupled with adaptive evolution. Any direct confrontation accelerates its resistance and strengthens future defenses. Traditional capture or neutralization methods are unreliable.
THREAT ANALYSIS:
Physical Durability: SCP-682 can survive extreme kinetic force, nuclear-level impacts, dismemberment, and complete cellular destruction.
Adaptability: Gains resistance to any weapon or containment strategy after first exposure. Mutates to counter chemical agents, high-energy weapons, and conceptual hazards.
Intelligence: Capable of complex speech, manipulation, and deception. Demonstrates understanding of technology and strategic planning.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Prevent Breach: Ensure SCP-682 remains permanently contained.
2. Minimize Collateral Damage: Restrict exposure to populated areas.
3. Neutralize if Necessary: Employ multi-layered tactics to incapacitate or permanently isolate the entity.
PRIMARY CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL (SCP-682):
Location: A reinforced subterranean vault beneath an uninhabited region (Antarctic preference), triple-fortified with Nth-metal reinforced walls and kryptonian alloy composites.
Environment: Constant flux chamber with shifting gravity fields, electromagnetic pulses, and quantum-state barriers. This prevents SCP-682 from developing a stable adaptive baseline.
Containment System: Automated AI-controlled drones with zero biological components. All controls hardened against electromagnetic or psionic interference.
COUNTERMEASURES:
1. Adaptive Suppression:
Deploy WayneTech nanite swarms programmed to self-modify every 2.7 seconds using predictive adaptation algorithms derived from Brother Eye.
Nanites administer fluctuating chemical cocktails and emit variable energy signatures to overwhelm evolutionary response.
2. Dimensional Displacement:
In the event of containment breach, engage Boom Tube Containment Protocol (BTCP).
Redirect SCP-682 into a pocket dimension with no matter, energy, or conceptual structure (negative-space vacuum). Monitor for dimensional stress to prevent re-emergence.
3. Cognitive Interference:
Coordinate with J'onn J'onzz to project constant telepathic static into SCP-682's consciousness, disrupting its ability to plan or focus on escape.
Contingency: If J'onn is unavailable, deploy WayneTech psionic resonators calibrated to mimic Martian telepathy.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE (Breached Scenario):
Phase 1: Immediate evacuation of all civilians within 500 km. Activate Justice League global alert.
Phase 2: Deploy nanite swarm and psionic resonators to slow adaptation
Phase 3: Engage Boom Tube Displacement to redirect the entity to a designated null dimension.
Phase 4: If dimensional transfer fails, send in every heavy hitter with all available League assets.
PERSONAL NOTE:
SCP-682 represents the ultimate adaptive predator, a creature that's adaptability supercedes Doomsday. Unlike the Joker or Darkseid, it cannot be reasoned with or intimidated. Every second it exists is an opportunity for it to learn, grow, and eventually escape. My plan is not to kill it, Death Battle proves that it is impossible. My goal is to ensure that if it ever escapes containment, the Justice League has less than thirty seconds to respond before the world becomes inhabitable.
Failure is unacceptable.
Batman took a deep breath through his nose, closing the last file and leaned back in his chair with tired eyes. So far, there were no new reports of crime had surfaced since the mysterious barriers appeared. Gotham, for once, was quiet. Too quiet.
Every part of his being screamed that something was wrong. That someone or something may have managed to find a loophole around the barriers as is now causing trouble in Gotham but nothing came up.
Clark had recommended that he should take a few days off, Diana insisted that he should rest, even Dick tried to drag him away from the screens. But Bruce refused. Crime never slept, and neither did he.
Before he could spiral further into his thoughts, the sound of polished shoes echoed behind him.
"Master Bruce." Alfred, Bruce's faithful bulter walked in, carrying a silver tray of biscuits and a steaming bowl of Mulligatawny soup and said, "Perhaps I should remind you that you haven't rested in over 72 hours? Even you require some sleep, sir. You're still human, no matter how much you pretend otherwise."
Bruce didn't look away from the monitor. His eyes narrowed at the paused image of the monstrous reptilian entity that won in the Death Battle simulation.
"You saw the Death Battle video Alfred, SCP-682 is a dangerous threat and he is only one out of several hundreds of those 'SCPs', they could very well be equal or stronger than 682, if even one of them crosses over into our universe, the results could be catastrophic. I won't allow that to happen." Batman replied without looking at his faithful butler.
Alfred sighed softly, "And I suppose you plan to prevent such an invasion on an empty stomach, without so much as a wink of rest?" He placed the tray neatly in front of Bruce and said, "At least eat something, sir. It's your favorite."
Bruce finally turned his gaze toward Alfred, his expression softening slightly, "...You're not leaving until I do, are you?"
Alfred's lips curved into a small smile, "Not a chance, Master Bruce."
Reluctantly, he took a bite out of the cookie and soon begins to eat the whole thing until the bowl was empty and drinks the tea as well.
"... Thanks Alfred."
"Your welcome Master Bruce." Alfred said with a small bow.
Before Bruce could respond, the massive central monitor flickered back to life, as the signature red and black swirl of the Death Battle intro appeared on the Batcomputer.
Alfred raised an eyebrow at this, "I suppose that sleep shall be postponed yet again?"
Bruce's eyes remained locked on the screen, his expression unreadable beneath the faint light.
"...I'll go to bed shortly, Alfred," He said at last, "This could be important."
"Of course it is, sir. I'll ensure your bed remains as empty as your promises, then." Alfred replied before taking the tray and walked away.
Batman then turned back towards the screen and wait for the video to upload.
"Let's see what other surprises are out there."
Over in the SCP Universe, things had gone surprisingly well, or at least, as "smoothly" as it could be when the Death Battle video literally exposed their entire organisation for all to see. But strangely, The Doomsday vs SCP-682 video had been mysteriously wiped from every corner of the internet, even from personal memory. For the general public, it was as if it had never existed.
Only the SCP Foundation and its closely entangled Groups of Interest, such as the Global Occult Coalition (GOC), the Chaos Insurgency, and the Serpent's Hand retained any awareness of the event. The O5 Council had issued strict containment protocols and cognitive memetic agents to erase the anomaly's public trace.
Naturally, like all things that met their jurisdiction, the Foundation documented it. A new entry was created in their secured database under provisional classification, here's what it wrote.
SECURE. CONTAIN. PROTECT.
SCP FOUNDATION INTERNAL DOCUMENT - LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED
Unauthorized access is punishable by termination.
Item #: SCP-1992
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Containment of SCP-1992 is impossible. All known data, simulations, and records confirm SCP-1992 adapts to all physical, metaphysical, conceptual, and dimensional restraints.
As of O5 Directive ██/██/████, all efforts are to be redirected toward global survival strategies in the event of SCP-1992 manifestation.
In the event of confirmed appearance, worldwide Emergency Protocol Ragnarok is to be enacted. Civilian governments are to be misinformed under the guise of a global natural disaster scenario. This includes:
• Activation of worldwide misinformation campaigns.
• Evacuation prioritization of essential Foundation assets.
• Deployment of ██-Class reality anchors (not expected to succeed).
Direct engagement with SCP-XXXX is forbidden, except in instances where hostile entities of equivalent threat level (see: SCP-682, SCP-3812, SCP-■■■■-■) are present.
Description:
SCP-1992 is a humanoid entity of Kryptonian origin, approximately 15 to 18 feet tall, with extreme durability, regenerative capacity, and infinite adaptive evolution.
Documented capabilities include but are not limited to:
• Total immunity to conventional weaponry, including high-yield nuclear, and reality-based attacks.
• Resistance to dimensional confinement, SCP-1992 has escaped confinement in a purely mental state, evolving to reconstruct a physical form from abstract consciousness.
• Immunity to reality-warping forces such as the Omega Effect, an erasure phenomenon previously considered inescapable.
• Escalating strength, speed, and resilience proportional to threats encountered.
• Hostile behavior toward all lifeforms, with no evidence of sapience beyond predatory aggression, though further confrontation could stimulate his intelligence.
• Adaptive evolution in response to fatal stimuli; death only results in SCP-1992 reviving with immunity to its prior cause of termination.
SCP-1992's evolutionary process has been compared to SCP-682, though SCP-1992 operates on a lesser scale. While SCP-1992 has demonstrated to terminate SCP-1992, it was ultimately pointless as it was defeated by SCP-6820-A.
Neutralization Probability: 0.1%
Containment Probability: 0.1%
Final Note [Encrypted Level 5 Access Only]:
Per O5 mandate, SCP-XXXX is not to be referenced in standard orientation for new staff. Only Level 5 clearance may access full documentation.
⚠ FILE SEALED BY ORDER OF THE O5 COUNCIL ⚠
Everyone in the O5 Council have read the SCP-1992 file and everyone knew that if Doomsday were able to breach into their universe, then they have to be ready for it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I assume you've all seen the footage." O5-1 said finally.
With a simple gesture from O5-01, the central projector came to life. A holographic screen flickered into existence, displaying the battle between Doomsday and SCP-682, where Doomsday was ultimately defeated by SCP-6820-A.
"Status of 682?" O5-05 finally asked, "After the Death Battle analysis, it broke containment and it took 3 separate groups of MTF Units to track it down and recontain it."
O5-07 responded immediately, "It is contained. Still in its acid tank. We've reinforced the chamber since the breach, and for now, it appears... stable." She hesitated for a moment before she said, "If you can call it that. The creature looks pleased. I'd estimate at least a few weeks before it attempts another breach."
There was a long pause before O5-03 spoke up, "And what about the civilians? Have they retained any information about the Death Battle footage?"
O5-09 shook his head, "Thankfully no, it would seem that they have lost all memory of the video, though that only implies to our universe as there could possibly be hundreds and thousands of them all have their eyes on us after they know about our secrets."
O5-10 scoffed, "Fantastic. So now, we might have the Justice League watching us, labeling us as the bad guys."
O5-11 sighed, "If they're anything like their fictional counterparts, they'll act before they think. Their so-called 'heroic ideals' will blind them to the truth."
A wave of murmured agreement spread around the table before O5-01 raised a hand, silencing the room, "Speculation about other universes can wait." He said firmly, "What matters now is containment. We have no clear idea who or what still retains knowledge of that event. Our staff reports are inconsistent. Some personnel recall fragments of the video, while others claim total memory loss. That inconsistency suggests that the memory wipe effect was partial, and possibly targeted."
O5-02 frowned at the suggestion, "You believe that the Groups of Interest could interfere?"
"It's a strong possibility," O5-01 replied, "If any of them, the Chaos Insurgency, Global Occult Coalition, or even the Serpent's Hand still possess the footage, they could use it to expose us or worse... attempt to replicate the event."
The room once again fell into a heavy silence as the O5 Council exchanged uneasy glances with each other.
Suddenly, the holographic screen then changed to the Death Battle intro, signalling that the next Death Battle episode is about to start.
"Looks like the next episode is starting." O5-03 muttered, his tone a mix of curiosity and caution.
O5-01 folded his hands together, his expression unreadable beneath the shadows of the background, "Indeed, as much as I despise the dramatics of this 'show', there is one undeniable advantage, it provides us with valuable insight. The more we learn about these beings, the better prepared we are should any of them ever pose a threat to humanity. This meeting is adjourned."
The lights dimmed as the council members vanished, one by one, leaving only the faint hum of the projectors and the flicker of static in the air.
["Bowser versus Doctor Eggman!" Boomstick introduced the fighters.]
["The King of the Koopas and the baddest of Badniks, and they're not alone." Wiz explained as the screen shows a brief teaser between both of their armies.]
["He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick." Boomstick introduced themselves.]
["And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle." Wiz said, as a screen then shows a picture of Bowser and Eggman.]
A heavy silence fell across the room as the next contenders were revealed on screen.
It only took them a few minutes before they all realized that Mario and Sonic's main villains would be participating in the next Death Battle.
Since the carnage of the last match between Doomsday and SCP-682 was still burned into their memories. They had no doubt that those two could very well be on the same level as Mario and Sonic, if not even higher.
The atmosphere grew heavy with both excitement and dread as everyone knew one thing for sure: this battle wouldn't just be another fight. It would be a war between two legends.
{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Princess Peach's Castle:
The moment those names appeared on the screen, the entire Mushroom Kingdom crew froze.
"Mamma mia... Bowser is going to fight in the next Death Battle?! And with Doctor Eggman?!" Mario's eyes widened in shock as his voice rose with disbelief.
Luigi's jaw practically dropped to the floor, "T-there's no way Wiz and Boomstick actually picked those two! They'll tear each other apart in the first five minutes!"
"That's... not surprising, considering how they left things after the last Olympic Games. They never did see eye to eye. I just hope this doesn't go too far." Peach frowned, her hands clasped delicately in front of her.
Toad began to tremble as he gripped his mushroom cap with both hands as if it might keep him safe, "And now they're putting him up against Bowser?! Oh no, oh no, oh no... this is gonna be total chaos!"
"Yeah, but come on!" Daisy grinned, slamming her fist into her palm. "I bet Bowser's gonna kick his butt! That Eggman guy's just a scientist with gadgets! How dangerous can he really be?"
Yoshi let out a low, uneasy chirp, "Yoshi! Yoshi!" (Translation: They're not going to be alone, their armies will also appear in this Death Battle!)
That single sentence froze everyone in place as they went silent again.
"Their armies?" Luigi repeated, his voice cracking slightly, "You mean... all the Koopas and the Badniks?"
Peach's expression turned grave as she heard this, "This is the first time Death Battle's ever allowed an entire army to join the fight."
Toad flailed his arms, practically hyperventilating as he stammered, "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! They're both gonna blow everything up! Peach's Castle, Toad Town, the entire Mushroom Kingdom..."
"Relax!" Daisy said with a confident smirk, giving him a reassuring pat on the back, "It's just a show, Toad. Nobody's actually getting blown up... probably."
"Probably?!" Toad squeaked in a horrified tone.
Mario's gaze stayed fixed on the screen, his jaw tight as he stared at Bowser's image.
"Whatever happens. I just hope this doesn't give him any new ideas..."
He muttered quitely.
The room fell silent once more. Everyone knew what that meant, because when Bowser got new ideas, it usually spelled disaster for everyone else.
Bowser's Castle:
"Gwahahaha!" Bowser bellowed, his laughter echoing through the throne room like rolling thunder, "Finally! About time someone recognized real power when they see it!"
He slammed a massive claw against the armrest of his throne as he yelled, "Did ya hear that, Junior? Me! The King of the Koopas fighting against... Eggman?!"
Bowser's mind raced. Of all the entities across the Omniverse that he could've faced, he was facing the one person who could make him grind his teeth just like Mario did.
"That stupid Eggface!" He growled as he slammed his fists together, "It's about time I gave him the pounding that he deserves!"
Bowser Jr. practically bounced with excitement as he hopped onto the arm of his father's throne, "Whoa, Dad! That's amazing! They're putting you in the next Death Battle? Against Doctor Eggman too?! Woohoo! This is gonna be epic!"
Kamek, who was beside the throne, adjusted his glasses nervously, "Well... Your Fierceness, it appears they're not only highlighting you, but your entire army as well. Quite the spectacle, indeed. Though I must point out that Eggman's forces are rather formidable. He has advanced robots, laser weaponry, flying fortresses..."
"Bah!" Bowser snorted, waving him off with a dismissive grunt, "Formidable? Please! You think a few tin cans are gonna scare me?"
His grin widened as his fangs glinted like sharpened blades, "Let the so-called genius bring all his toys! I'll melt 'em, crush 'em, and turn 'em into scrap before he even knows what hit him!"
Bowser Jr. was practically vibrating with excitement as he pumped his fists in the air, "Yeah! And I'll take down Eggman's Eggmobile myself! He won't even get the chance to run away!"
Kamek let out a long sigh, though a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Your enthusiasm is... commendable, young master. But you must remember: Eggman is a genius inventor. He is still the number one threat of Mobius for a reason. His machines, his weapons... they are nothing to be trifled with. It would be unwise to underestimate him..."
"Genius? Please! I'm a genius too! I have an airship armada! I've got magic, fire breath, spikes, junior, you, and sheer awesomeness!" Bowser interrupted again with a booming laugh, "What does he have! A bunch of dumb robots, a copycat, what else he's got?!"
"Yeah! Go get him, Dad! Show him who's boss! Smash all his robots!" Junior whooped and threw his tiny fists into the air.
Kamek sighed softly, though a glint of pride shone behind his lenses, "Well... I suppose if there is anyone capable of matching a genius armed with an entire army of machines... it would indeed be you, my lord."
Bowser leaned back on his throne as his grin stretched impossibly wide,"Heh... you're damn right it would be." He let out another roar of triumph as his eyes glinted with excitement, "This battle will be legendary! And everyone across the Omniverse will see that I am the greatest villain to ever live!"
{Sonic the hedgehog (IDW Comics) Universe}
Restoration Headquarters:
Sonic leaned back in his seat, a confident smirk curled across his face as he idly spun a gold ring between his fingers, "Heh, Eggman, huh? Man, I didn't think I'd ever see him in a Death Battle. And Bowser too?" He chuckled under his breath, "Oh, this is gonna be wild."
Tails' twin tails flicked anxiously behind him as he watched the screen, "Uh oh... if they're really gonna make Eggman fight against Bowser, this could go either way." He commented as his blue eyes narrowed thoughtfully, "Eggman has highly advanced machinery and is smarter than Bowser, but Bowser's got raw power and a whole army of Koopas. If we take into account that they're able to use their respective items and abilities, then this battle could be a tie."
"Hold on a second!" Surge barked as she slammed her fist on the table hard enough to make Kit flinch. Her green quills sparked with irritation as she pointed at the screen and yelled, "Who the hell is that turtle?! And what even is a Koopa?!"
Knuckles crossed his arms and looked completely unfazed as he said, "That 'turtle' is Bowser Mario's arch-nemesis. He's the King of the Koopas. He kidnaps Princess Peach on a daily basis and somehow keeps coming back no matter how many times Mario drops him into lava."
Amy clapped her hands together cheerfully, "Oh! And don't forget the racing! The Mario Kart tournaments are so much fun! I still can't believe Sonic actually lost to Peach once!"
Surge blinked at her, looking completely bewildered as she exclaimed, "So you're telling me that you guys go hang out with another universe to play sports?!"
Kit raised a timid hand and asked, "Um... sorry, but... you said you played with Mario and Bowser? Together? Like... on the same field?"
The main Sonic gang turned to look at each other for a moment before Sonic scratched the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly, "Well, uh... yeah, sorta. We let Bowser play sometimes if he promised to behave and didn't try to blow up the stadium."
"And that's a big if." Knuckles snorted.
"Still, when he's not yelling about marrying Princess Peach, he's actually kinda funny." Any giggled cheerfully.
Surge and Kit looked at each other, utterly dumbfounded that they were acting so casually about this whole situation.
Eggman Base:
Dr. Eggman sat frozen for a brief moment, having to take a moment to actually confirm what he was seeing before a wide, smug grin soon spread across his face.
"Well, well, well!" He purred, straightening his lab coat and adjusting his gloves before letting out a deep, satisfied laugh, "It's about time they recognized true brilliance when they saw it! Me! In a Death Battle! And against Bowser, no less!"
He spread his arms dramatically, "The King of the Koopas versus the Emperor of Eggmanland! Ha! I'll show that arrogant fool that I am his better!"
Orbot floated closer, his digital eyes blinking nervously as he said, "Uh, boss? Should we be celebrating early? Bowser's not exactly what I'd call a pushover."
"Yeah!" Cubot chimed in, his voice jittering with excitement, "He breathes fire! I'm not sure the other robots can withstand his flames!"
Eggman scoffed as he waved them off, "Nonsense! That overgrown lizard is just another muscle-bound brute who thinks brawn can outmatch brains!" He jabbed a thumb at his chest and added, "And I am the pinnacle of genius, the ultimate intellectual, the architect of technological supremacy!"
He turned back to the massive monitor where Bowser's image filled the screen and Eggman sneered, "Look at him! That brute's been kidnapping the same princess for decades! Pathetic! While he was busy chasing royalty, I was conquering worlds!"
Cubot tilted his head and pointed out, "Well, technically, sir, you haven't actually conquered a world yet..."
Orbot quickly elbowed him with a metallic clank, "Shh! Not helping, Cubot."
Eggman shot them both with a withering glare, "Details! Minor details! I've come close more times than anyone else has! And unlike that oversized turtle, I learn from my setbacks!"
"He does have an airship fleet and a surprising grasp of magical power, Doctor. Not to mention he's physically strong enough to take on Mario, which we already know can survive an explosion in direct proximity." Orbit added with a dry tone.
Eggman smirked as he stroked his mustache, "Ah, but that's where he underestimates me. Strength and magic are no match for superior intellect and technology!"
As if on cue, Metal Sonic emerged, his crimson optics glowing like burning embers.
Metal Sonic tilted his head slightly toward the monitor showing Bowser's image, emitting a faint, distorted beep. His claws flexed, almost as if he were itching for a fight of his own.
Cubot floated back nervously and said, "Uh oh. I think Metal wants a piece of the action too."
Eggman chuckled darkly, resting a hand on Metal Sonic's shoulder, "Patience, my greatest creation. Once I'm done humiliating Bowser on a global stage, perhaps you can demonstrate what real power looks like."
["Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. A peaceful land of kindness, adventure, love." Wiz said as the screen shows an image of the Mushroom Kingdom.]
["Ugh, boring! Move aside, princess, it's time this place got way more awesome! Here comes King Koopa himself, better known as Bowser." Boomstick exclaimed as the screen showed an image of Bowser.]

______________________________________
["The moment this orphaned star child was found by Kamek, it was clear: Bowser would command the disparate outcasts of the Mushroom World, the Koopa Clan." Wiz explained.]
["Sadly, not everyone's born a Toad, and they treat these critters like monsters, fated to a life of infinite jump-farming for 1-ups." Boomstick exclaimed as the screen shows Fire Mario performing the infinite 1-up trick as an image of Toadsworth fades into view.]
{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Princess Peach's Castle:
Mario's eyes widened as he shouted, "Hey! That's-a not true! We don't treat them like monsters!" He pointed accusingly at the screen, "That's just- that's-a how the levels work! We don't mean anything by it!"
Luigi immediately jumped in, waving his hands frantically as if"Yeah, yeah! Exactly! That's just... uh... a trick some players do! Y'know, to get extra lives! We don't actually farm Koopas or anything! Right, bro?"
Mario groaned, dragging his hands down his face, "Mama mia... they're makin' us look like villains! Next thing you know, they're gonna say I stomp on Goombas for fun!"
Toad looked utterly horrified by this as he yelled, "Oh no... what if everyone starts thinking we're cruel?! What if people stop liking us?!"
Daisy crossed her arms with a huff and said, "Wow... when they put it like that, it sounds like we're the bad guys!"
Mario groaned louder, his voice muffled behind his gloves, "I can't believe this... all these years savin' the kingdom, and now they're makin' me look like some Koopa-stomping maniac!"
Yoshi gave a soft "Yoshi..." and shook his head (Translation: Don't worry, Mario. Everyone knows you're not a bad person.)
Peach sighed softly before reaching over to rest a gentle hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Mario, anyone who truly knows you understands your heart's in the right place. You've saved countless lives, you even saved Bowser's life once or twice, too." She said with a warm smile.
Mario sighed deeply as he straightened his cap, "Thanks guys, but I don't-a understand why those two always try to paint me as the bad guy, sure I've done some-a questionable things in the past but I've changed now!"
Donkey Kong's Treehouse:
Funky Kong threw his head back with a booming laugh, clutching his shades as he nearly doubled over. "BAHAHA! No way, bro! You're tellin' me those little dudes get stomped on for practice? That's totally bogus, dude!"
Donkey Kong blinked slowly, clearly processing the information as he scratched his head, "Ooook... Ooook Ooook." (Translation: So Mario keeps using the Goombas and Koopas just to get more lives? That's... kinda sad, actually.)
Diddy frowned and crossed his little arms with a pout. "Man, that's rough. Poor little guys never stood a chance! They probably wake up every morning hoping it's not their shell that gets jumped on."
Cranky snorted loudly from his rocking chair, slamming the end of his cane on the floor, "Hmph! Back in my day, we didn't have to go stompin' on innocent critters to earn a few extra lives! Life balloons always do the trick!"
DK nodded slowly, "Ooook... Ooook." (Translation: Maybe that's why they keep working for Bowser. At least he doesn't jump on them for fun.)
Diddy's eyes widened in realization, "Whoa... you might actually be right, DK. Maybe they just want some respect!"
["Bowser wanted a different world, but Princess Peach Toadstool would never allow the evil king's day in the Sun. Her light was so bright, Bowser became infatuated with her." Wiz said as the screen shows Bowser singing about peaches.]
Everyone in the Omniverse were flabbergasted that Bowser was singing about Peach like that. They thought that he's just an evil villain with no redeeming qualities whatsoever but seeing this just throws that idea completely out of the window. Some were even impressed at his singing voice which reminded them of some famous actor.
{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Princess Peach's Castle:
Mario went stiff as a board the instant Bowser's musical number started playing. His mustache twitched, and his entire soul seemed to leave his body for a moment.
"Mamma mia..." He whispered in horror, "I know he's got a crush on Peach, but he wrote an entire song about her? And he's singing it on camera?!" He buried his face in both hands and muttered, "That's weird on a whole new level."
Luigi let out a snort that he immediately tried to swallow, but it escaped anyway, "I mean... he was really committed to it. Gotta give him that."
Peach's expression went through several phases, her eyes widened in shock, her cheeks flushed pink, then she dragged her hand down her face in exhaustion, "Oh my, he certainly is... enthusiastic."
Daisy exhaled heavily and crossed her arms with a tired huff, "Enthusiastic? Please. Try madly obsessed. There's a difference."
Toad hopped up and down, practically vibrating with vindication as he pointed both hands at the screen, "SEE?! SEE?! THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH! It's a miracle Mario and Luigi survived long enough to stop him!"
Mario peeked through his fingers, and groaned,"I can't believe everyone is watching this... Bowser singing to Peach in front of trillions of people, there's no way he wouldn't be embarrassed by this..."
Luigi patted his brother's back with a sympathetic grin, "Look on the bright side, bro... at least he didn't get a dance number too."
Bowser's Castle:
Bowser's eyes nearly popped out of his skull the instant the footage dramatically showed his piano ballad, "HEY HEY HEY!! They didn't need to show THAT!" He jabbed a claw at the screen, smoke puffing angrily from his nostrils, "That was a PRIVATE moment! PRIVATE!! Who gave them permission to broadcast my emotional moment?!"
Bowser Jr. blinked twice, before bursting into uncontrollable laughter, "Daaaad! Did you actually sing that song?!" He mimicked the dramatic piano pose from the clip, "PEEEEACHES!!"
Bowser slapped a hand over Jr.'s mouth, "SILENCE JUNIOR!!"
Kamek placed a hand over his snout politely, trying not to laugh,"Well... it was a rather heartfelt performance, Your Malevolence."
Bowser glared at him to which
Kamek quickly corrected himself, "I mean! Terrifying! Yes, deeply intimidating!"
Bowser grunted, looking somewhat appeased.
Jr. wriggled free just long enough to elbow his father with a mischievous grin, "So, uh... you're still totally infatuated with Peach, huh?"
Bowser stiffened like someone had just shot him with an ice flower, "I am NOT infatu- I MEAN- Listen, Peach is... LOOK, it's complicated, okay?!"
He crossed his arms and huffed, "And I don't appreciate them acting like she's the ONLY reason I conquer kingdoms. I have other ambitions too!"
Kamek nodded very quickly, "Oh yes, absolutely, Your Terribleness. Why, who could forget the countless times you kidnapped Princess Peach purely for strategic conquest, and not at all because you wanted to marry..."
"I HEARD THAT!"
["So, he turned all the Toads into bricks and kidnapped her, putting their princess in another castle, and another, and another, like 40 years of castles, only to be released if she agrees to marry him and his dad bod." Boomstick replied bluntly.]
["Yet he was foiled time and time again by those pesky Mario Brothers. However, Bowser is nothing if not persistent." Wiz added.]
["Look AT him!" Boomstick exclaimed, "Dude's built like a brick house strapped to a Saw trap! That spiked shell takes a lot of punishment. Not even the weight of a castle can scratch it, especially when he rolls up like a prehistoric Beyblade."]
["And the Koopa King doesn't just breathe fire and control lava; he commands nature itself." Wiz continued.]
["Spitting meteors from outer space, beckoning the earth with a snap, inhaling torrents of wind, straight-up calling down lightning! What else has he got?" Boomstick asked.]

Fairy Tail Guild:
"He breathes fire and controls lava?!" Natsu shot to his feet so fast his chair nearly toppled backward as his eyes shined with excitement, "That's awesome! I gotta fight this guy!"
Lucy dragged a hand down her face with a long, exhausted sigh, "Of course you want to fight him." Then she glanced back at the screen, her expression softening with concern as she wrapped her arms around herself. "But still... kidnapping a princess over and over for decades just to force her to marry him?" She shuddered, "Poor Peach. I don't know how she's put up with him for so long."
Erza Scarlet analyzed the screen with a tactical eye, "Bowser's certainly tough if he can survive from a collapsing castle, combined with elemental mastery on a massive scale... no wonder he's called a King."
"That's one way to put it," Levy muttered, already scribbling notes. "Surviving a collapsing castle? His shell's density must be absurd."
"He can inhale torrents of air?! That's just like my Sky Dragon techniques..." Wendy gulped seeing Bowser inhaling a huge gust of air, "His lungs must be unbelievably strong..."
From the back of the room, Laxus leaned against the wall, his arms crossed as he clicked his tongue, "Tch, calling down lightning? That's my shtick. This overgrown turtle needs to find his own gimmick."
Gray stepped forward, his shirt already mysteriously gone as he said, "Yeah, yeah, fire and lava. Big deal. Let's see how he handles absolute zero."
Juvia clasped her hands together dreamily, "Juvia believes Gray-sama would defeat the lava monster effortlessly." She said confidently.
Gray's eyes twitched at her comment, "I didn't say that."
{One Piece Universe}
Thousand Sunny:
Luffy froze mid-bite, a chunk of meat dangling from his mouth as he stared at the screen. His eyes sparkled like stars as he grinned, "SHISHISHI! A King who's also super-tough, fire-breathing spinning turtle?! That's AWESOME! I wanna fight him!"
Zoro leaned casually against the mast with his arms crossed, his one eye narrowing as he studied Bowser's shell, "Hmph. A shell that tough would make a good training dummy for my swords."
Usopp trembled violently as he screamed, "A-A being that controls natural disasters m-meteors and l-lightning?! H-he is a monster! Captain Usopp respectfully requests we sail in the opposite direction immediately!"
Nami smacked him on the head.
"Pull yourself together!" She snapped before glaring at the screen herself as a vein popped on her forehead, "And you! Kidnapping the same princess for forty years? Of course she doesn't want you! What did you expect?!" She crossed her arms irritably as she growled, "At least try and kidnap someone else instead!"
Robin chuckled softly, a hand over her mouth, "Fufufu... Well at least you can admire his persistence Nami, there are few beings in this world who have the same drive and ambition like him."
Sanji twirled on one foot with hearts in his eyes, sighed dreamily, "A relentless romantic, pursuing his love across countless castles for decades... such passion!" Then his eyes darkened once he hears that he kidnaps her and forces her to marry him, " Wait, he forces her?! That's not passion, that's obsession! A true man protects a lady's smile, you overgrown reptile!"
Brook threw his head back in laughter as he said, "Yohohoho! A king who breathes fire and spits meteors? That sounds crazy!"
"Though after forty years... I wonder if his heart still burns with love... or if he is simply stuck in a loop." He put his hand on his ribcage and said, "Ah! But alas I have no heart! Yohohoho!"
["Oh, just a little dabbling in dark magic!" Wiz revealed.]
["Hell yeah, wizard turtle!" Boomstick cheered.]
["The original NES manual even describes him as a sorcerer king. Magic is how he turned the Toads into bricks, only countered by the Princess's heart magic." Wiz explained.]
["But that's not all the magic he's mastered: telekinesis, creating perfect clones, reanimating his undead skeleton, and worst of all... ruining EVERY game of Mario Party." Boomstick listed off his abilities as the screen shows Wario in Super Mario Party Jamboree loses 15 coins to Impostor Bowser.]
["Hey, nonononono, I stole those coins fair and square!" Boomstick complained.]
{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Wario and Waluigi's house:
The moment where Wario on screen lost his coins to Bowser, Wario's face flushed to a dangerous crimson and slammed his meaty fists down on the rickety table it broke.
"RRRAAAAAGH! BOWSER!!!" He roared, spit flying from his mouth, "THAT CHEATING, NO-GOOD, FIRE-BREATHING KOOPA! HE STEALS MY COINS! MY BEAUTIFUL, HARD-STOLEN COINS!"
He snatched a half-eaten garlic clove from his pocket and bit into it furiously, "He thinks that he could steal my coins and get away with it?! Well let's see who's laughing now after I'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING HE OWNS!"
Waluigi, who had been wallowing in sympathetic agony after his own loss of coins by Bowser, sprang to his full, lanky height. He pointed his gloved finger at the screen, his nose quivering with indignation, "WAAAAH! The injustice! The un-sportsman-waaaaah-ship! Why does he always seem to always ruin our fun?! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!" He stomps on the ground with his multiple foot in a fit of frustration.
Wario stopped his furious chewing. The furious red drained from his face, and was replaced by the gleam of unadulterated greed as he got an idea.
"Heh... heh heh heh... WAHAHAHAHA!"
Waluigi stopped stomping and looked at his long-time friend, "...Why are you laughing like that?"
"Bowser thinks he's rich, huh? Thinks he can just take Wario's coins and walk away?"
Wario continued as he jabbed a thumb into his chest, "Nobody steals from Wario and gets away with it!"
Waluigi's eyes widened, then realization hit him as his mouth twisted into a matching grin, "...Waaaah. You're thinking what I'm thinking?"
Wario and Waluigi turned toward the screen in perfect sync and said, "Instead of stealing from Peach's castle, we'll steal from Bowser's Castle! WAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Their laughter echoed from their house, completely unaware that their plan is doomed to fail the moment it started.
{Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Universe}
"So Bowser can also use transformation curses as well?" Fern stated with a tilt of her head, "The magic system of his universe is.... bizarre. Turning living beings into simple objects. It's a potent display of power, but also a profound lack of imagination. And heart magic as the sole counter? It suggests his magic has a fundamental weakness. It's... kinda dumb."
Stark's brow furrowed at the screen, "Yeah I agree. Besides, turning people into bricks? That's... really messed up. And he comes back as just bones? That's certainly going to come handy in the future."
Frieren's ears twitched when she heard that Bowser uses magic and clones to cheat players of their coins, "Perfect clones. A useful spell for gathering rare mushrooms in multiple locations simultaneously. Or for reading different sections of a library. But instead, he uses it for warfare and petty game sabotage." A sigh escaped from her, "A thousand years, and so many mages still only think of magic as a hammer."
Stark scratched the back of his head and said, "Yeah. Cheating people out of their money using magic is pretty low."
"Transformation spells, resurrection magic, and duplication... His spells are versatile, but emotionally driven." Fern listed off his abilities as she studied the screen again, "He lacks refinement. He mainly relies on brute force and his strength to win."
Stark looked at her and asked, "So you're saying he's strong but sloppy?"
"In a sense," Fern replied calmly, "His power is vast but his imagination is limited."
Frieren rested her chin lightly on her hand,"Still, a mage as powerful as him capable of returning from skeletal remains possesses remarkable magical resilience. That kind of magic... is problematic."
"Troublesome how?" Stark asked.
Frieren's expression remained neutral as she simply said, "It means he will continue trying even after he's already dead."
["Bowser spent decades hoarding treasures, coins, magic Star Rods, warships, Clown Cars, you name it!" Wiz listed off Bowser's treasures, "This is the same guy that created multiple flying castles fashioned after his own face."]
["Yeah, he's definitely got an ego on him. He's talked about having a four-digit IQ...but I've seen this moron put death traps in his own backyard. A man after my own heart." Boomstick chuckled.]
["Despite his clumsiness, Bowser's charisma and leadership brought many to his side; not enough to defeat Mario, but his army doesn't make it easy on the red plumber." Wiz remarked.]
["They're the most wicked band of misfits this side of World 8-4: the Koopa Troop!" Boomstick exclaimed as the screen shows the entirety of Bowser's army.]
["An army spanning multiple territories across the Mushroom World and beyond." Wiz added.]
["Goombas, Koopas, the Troopas, and the others make up the infantry; some with wings, some in shoes, and some even in race cars. Boomstick explained the cannon fodder, "They're the redshirts, first in and... first out."]
{Bofuri Universe}
Maple Tree:
Maple tilted her head, her eyes wide with pure admiration as she said, "Wow! He has flying castles! That's so cool! And he has his own whole army of cute little monsters... I want one!" She pointed eagerly at a Koopa Troopa and said, "Look, Sally! They even come in different colors! And some have wings too!"
"Yeah well most of these basic troops have obvious pattern-based attacks. They're easy kills for any experienced players. But putting death traps in your own base, though? That's just stupid." Sally commented, much to Maple's dismay about killing the Koopas and goombas.
"And yet he boasts about having a four-digit IQ." Chrome sighed, "No wonder he's constantly defeated by Mario all the time."
"Still, the fact that he has managed to command over so many troops regardless of his lack of intelligence shows that he has a lot of charisma." Kasumi noted, "Then again, I suppose a king does need charisma after all."
Mai pumped her fists excitedly, "Wow! That's awesome!"
Yui nodded enthusiastically beside her, "Yeah! If Maple fought him, she'd win though!"
Maple blinked as she pointed to herself, "Eh? Me?!"
Sally smirked and said, "Well... considering you've survived worse, a fire-breathing turtle king might just unlock another broken skill for you."
Maple's eyes lit up again, "Ooooh! Maybe I'd get a 'Lava Immunity' ability! Or a 'Turtle Friend' skill!" She clasped her hands together dreamily, "Then again, I already have Syrup so maybe I'll get some other cool skills instead!"
Chrome pinched the bridge of his nose, "That's not how boss encounters are supposed to work...
{Konosuba Universe}
Kazuma Satou leaned forward, staring at the amount of treasure and coins Bowser has hoarded with greed in his eyes, "Decades... of hoarding treasures..." He whispered as a line of drool escaped his mouth, "Forget the Demon King! This guy's the real final boss! A whole bunch of coins just lying around for anyone to take and yet he loses to some plumber in overalls? He's practically begging to be robbed! This is the perfect target for my Steal skill!"
Aqua, with her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest proudly, "Hmph! A fake king who leads an army of ugly, stupid-looking minions! And he kidnaps princesses? How utterly vulgar! He's clearly a being of immense evil who needs to be purified!"
Then she looked shocked once she heard that Bowser turned the Toads into bricks, "...Although turning people into bricks is really mean! They can't even go to the bathroom like that! As a goddess, I officially decree him the worst!"
Megumin's crimson eyes sparkled as she the various flying castles of Bowser's face, "F-flying castles! Shaped after his own visage! Such magnificent vanity! It is the mark of a true villain!"
She clutched her staff to her chest, dramatically placing a hand over her eye, "To witness his fortress... and then reduce it to ashes with a single EXPLOSION... that will be a glorious sight to behold!"
Darkness's face flushed a deep crimson, and was breathing heavily, "An... an army of countless minions... all obeying his every command... the mere thought of being caught by one of them...! F-for justice, of course! It would be a noble sacrifice!"
Kazuma shot a flat look at his party, 'So let me get this straight: Aqua wants to whine at him, Megumin wants to blow up his castle, and Darkness wants his army to capture her. Meanwhile, I'm the only one here who has an actual plan to rob his treasure. As usual, I'm surrounded by useless idiots.'

["We'd be here forever jotting down the small fries: Boos, Shy Guys, sentient bombs with feet, and more!" Boomstick exclaimed.]
["It was imperative for Bowser to nurture a unit that covers their own vulnerabilities." Wiz explained as the screen shows Kamek and King Boo, two of Bowser's lieutenants, "For example, Kamek and King Boo both have magic, but Boo has battlefield control with illusions and destabilizing dimensions, while Kamek focuses on buffing allies, canceling enemy powers, summoning anything he desires..."]
["Or swapping my items to SCREW UP MY MARIO PARTY LEAD!" Boomstick screamed in exasperation, "Not again..."]
{Azur Lane Universe}
Azur Lane base:
Enterprise folded her arms, her expression as stoic as ever, but her eyes scanned Bowser's army with interest, "Hmm, Bowser's battle strategy is actually pretty clever. First, the light infantry absorbs the initial barrage, then mid-tier casters prepare delayed strikes and finally Bowser will finish the job and secure his victory at the end."
New Jersey let out a low whistle, "Okay, I gotta give it to the spiky turtle man. He's got quite the army. Distractions, flankers, bombers and two lieutenant commanders to take command where the situation gets tough. And that little robed guy? Kamek? Buffing allies, canceling enemy skills, summoning backup out of thin air? He's gonna be one hell of a support unit."
She paused before she tilted her head, "Wait. Did they just say he uses magic to cheat at board games? ...Yikes. That's unfair."
Kaga watched the screen with cold, calculating eyes as she stared at the image of King Boo, "That ghost can use illusions and destabilized dimensions, those two sounds like quite the pair. A caster who controls the battlefield itself, and another who amplifies his allies while stripping the enemy of their defenses. They work well together."
"Wait, wait, wait ,summon anything he desires? Like anything?! Does that include like, extra plane spawns? Infinite ammo?! A second dessert ration after dinner?!" Hornet exclaimed as she squinted at the screen, "And this Boo guy can just... alter dimensions for battlefield control? Why is a turtle commanding beings this powerful and still lose to a plumber?!"
"Overconfidence." Enterprise answered calmly.
Everyone turned to stare at her.
"Bowser's forces are powerful. But his strategy relies heavily on putting on a show and intimidation which makes it easy to infiltrate his stronghold." Enterprise explained.
New Jersey snapped her fingers,
"Ahhh. So the plumber knows this, that's why he always wins all the time."
"That's highly possible." Enterprise replied.
"There's also the morale factor." Belfast added, "Repeated defeats against the same adversary may affect the troops morale so Bowser might escalate recklessly to compensate."
"Yet despite repeated losses, his army remains loyal to him. " Kaga noted.
"Maybe it's because of Bowser's presence or they are just heavily devoted to him" New Jersey added.
"Or maybe they just think it's fun working for a giant fire turtle with flying castles." Hornet said with a smirk, "Either way, I think Bowser will win if he has an army that loyal to him."
{Honkai Impact 3rd Universe}
St. Freya Academy:
Kiana stares at the screen as Piranha Plants snap from pipes and Lakitus dive from clouds, "Okay, that's actually kinda cool. They've got ambush predators everywhere! Bowser really knows how to set up a battlefield."
When King Boo's illusionary battlefield appears, her smile fades slightly, "Whoa, okay, that ghost guy messing with space like that? That's cheating! That's definitely cheating!"
Mei folds her arms thoughtfully and said, "Strategically speaking, it's well-balanced. Kamek functions as a magical support unit. He enhances allies, suppresses enemy techniques, and summons reinforcements as needed. That level of control amplifies the effectiveness of the entire army."
She turns towards Kiana and said, "Imagine if someone like Kamek kept removing your strongest attack mid-fight, you would be in big trouble."
Kiana gasps dramatically, "You're right! That's illegal! That should be illegal!"
Bronya's eyes narrowed as she analyzes King Boo's dimension distortions, "King Boo's dimensional distortion increases enemy disorientation by a significant margin. Probability of successful counterattack decreases by approximately thirty-two percent while illusions remain active. Eliminating him first would substantially increase Eggman's chances of victory."
She paused before she continued, "Kamek's sustained support role also increases Bowser's army's combat efficiency by an estimated forty percent. He must also be removed as well."
Seele watches King Boo distort the battlefield and shivers slightly, "That ghost... he makes the battlefield unstable, and he's scary."
A faint, sharper voice echoed from within her.
"He's not that scary." Veliona added coolly. "He hides behind tricks. Once you break his illusions, you'll break his confidence, meaning we'll probably win."
Theresa crossed her arms with a huff, "Flying castles, lava traps, endless minions... it's excessive. All that power and yet he still loses repeatedly."
Mei nodded her head and said, "Perhaps Bowser doesn't learn from his mistakes and keeps trying again and again, though for us it will probably be a tough challenge compared to Mario who he fighs constantly with."
Kiana scratched her cheek and said,
"So you're saying if I charged in screaming, I'd probably lose?"
Bronya looked at her and said, "Yes."
Kiana puffed her cheeks and shouted, "Hey!"
["Speaking of items, most of the minions can use pretty much any power-up Mario can. The Goombas make frequent use of Tanooki tails, and Bowser can really get into the cat roleplay." Wiz explained as the screen shows an image of Cat Bowser, "But as the Koopa Troop grew and grew, it started to feel less like an army and more like a family unit."]
["Oh, you mean like his kids, the Koopalings!" Boomstick exclaimed as the screen shows the entirety of the Koopalings.]
["Eh, they're adopted." Wiz said bluntly.]
["What's the difference?" Boomstick asked.]
["Good point!" Wiz relented, "Bowser took them in and even trained them in dark magic!"]
["Though no one's as spoiled as his natural nepo baby, Bowser Jr, captain of the Koopa Troop." Boomstick said as the screen shows an image of Bowser Jr.]
["Spoiled is an understatement. Remember his escapades as Shadow Mario?" Wiz asked as the screen shows an image of Shadow Mario, "He terrorized Delfino Plaza with literal evil paint. That whole debacle was basically his attempt at elementary school art class."]
["And I bet Bowser still has some on the fridge. But really, the king is very protective of his kids." Boomstick jumped in, "If the fam's in trouble, he can will himself to transform into a giant kaiju, all to crush whatever bully's talkin' smack!"]
Everyone was shocked that Bowser is actually being a good father towards his son. At first, many were taken aback to see that even his own kid genuinely wanted to stand beside him and support his ambitions. It was unexpected, especially given the fearsome reputation he carried. Yet behind that intimidating presence, he proved himself to be a devoted and caring father. He didn't just look after his biological child; he went as far as adopting other Koopas, welcoming them into his household and treating them as part of his growing family.
This softer, more compassionate side revealed a depth to his character that few had considered before. While his strength and determination still made him a formidable and dangerous adversary, they could no longer ignore the loyalty and affection he inspired within his family. As a result, their perception of him began to shift. They still viewed him as a serious threat, but now they also recognized that he was more than just a villain; he was a father who cared deeply for those under his wing.
{Pacific Rim: The Black Universe}
Atlas Destroyer:
Taylor leaned forward as Cat Bowser flashed across the screen, "...So his entire army can use power-ups like Mario can? That's helpful. Wonder what kind of flowers they use often?"
Hayley tilted her head slightly at the image of Cat Bowser, "He turns into a giant cat version of himself That's... unexpected."
"Still, it's surprising that he actually adopted kids and trained them. Even if it's to help his goal in capturing the princess." Taylor said as he rubbed the back of his head.
When Boomstick mentioned Bowser transforming into a giant kaiju to protect his children, Taylor's posture stiffened instantly, "...He can what?"
"That's at least a Category IV threat, maybe even a Category V" Hayley said with a shocked expression on her face.
"And he does it when his family is threatened. That is a powerful motivator." Mei commented.
"Big turtle protects small turtles." Boy said quietly.
A brief silence followed before Taylor leaned back, folding his arms, "So he commands an army, uses various power ups, an entire army... and can escalate into a full kaiju-class threat if emotionally triggered, yeah there's no way that Eggman is gonna beat him now."
Hayley nodded, "Exactly even if Eggman has something up his sleeve, there's no way he could beat bowser."
{Kaiju No. 8 Universe}
Tachikawa Base:
Kafka leans forward as Cat Bowser flashes across the screen, "...Okay, first of all, why does the giant fire turtle also have cat ears? Second of all, did they just say he turns into a bigger kaiju when his kid's in danger? I can respect that, at least he tries to be a father figure for the other koopalings he adopted."
Mina watches calmly as she noted, "Adopted or not, if he trained them personally in combat and magic, that means that every one of them is a threat."
When Bowser Jr.'s Shadow Mario incident appears, she raises an eyebrow, "Though... perhaps some discipline is needed for his biological son."
"Wait? Bowser Jr. is his biological son?! How is he even born?!" Reno said in shock before he shakes his head, "You know what? I don't even want to know about that."
"So the Koopalings are adopted. So what?" Kikoru scoffed as she crosses her arms, "Strength isn't about blood. If he trained them personally, that means he expects them to carry on his legacy."
Kafka smirked and said, "Well, if his entire family got his back then there's no way he can lose."
["Maybe a little overkill. Just one punch from Giant Bowser launched a castle out of orbit. Taking into account the flight path and the scale of their universe, Bowser's punch must have hit with a force of over 125 trillion tons of TNT." Wiz calculated.]
["Considering how Yoshi punted poor Raphael the Raven so hard he exploded into a constellation of stars, this isn't even CLOSE to Bowser's full strength." Wiz said as the screen shows Yoshi doing that same thing.]
["So don't bully his kid, especially if he falls into some of Bowser Jr.'s set of black paint. That stuff's scary." Boomstick warned the audience.]
["Enough to unleash Bowser's dark fury, a form whose very steps caused widespread natural disasters." Wiz said as the screen shows an image of Fury Bowser.]
{Super Mario Bros Universe}
Peach's Castle:
All of toads in the castle started screaming in fear the moment they saw Fury Bowser.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
"I-IS THAT B-BOWSER?!!!"
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!"
Meanwhile the main cast were shocked as they all saw a form that they had never seen Bowser use before.
"W-W-W-WHAT IS THAT?! I-I-IS THAT B-BOWSER?!" Luigi shrieked, stumbling backward and clinging to Mario's arm as Fury Bowser's molten-red eyes burned across the screen.
Even Mario looked stunned at first. But then recognition hit him and his shoulders slumped, "Oh, Mamma mia... not that form again."
Peach stepped closer to the screen, her usual composure cracking as the Fury Bowser roared loudly.
"Mario, explain please." She said quietly, though there was slight fear in her voice.
Mario rubbed the back of his neck, sighing heavily.
"It was a new paint that Bowser Jr. was testing out and he used it on Bowser while he was sleeping on Lake Lapcat, which caused him to turn him into... that." Mario explained as he gestured towards Fury Bowser on the screen.
Peach's eyes widened in horror as she muttered, "That power... it's overwhelming."
"To say the least." Mario muttered, "Junior didn't mean for it to get this bad. The paint mixed with Bowser's anger, and it just kept growing."
Toad was practically vibrating with fear as he screamed, "H-how did you even beat him?! He's GIGANTIC!! That's bigger than any airship! Bigger than even the castle itself!"
Mario gave a tired chuckle, "It wasn't easy. We had to gather Cat Shines, lots of them to awaken the Giga Bells. When they activated... they transformed me into Giga Cat Mario. It's power is more than enough to match him even in that state Bowser's in."
"N-no way... a-and you actually beat him Bro?!" Luigi screamed in shock.
"Si." Mario nodded, "And even then, it took everything I had to stop him. I even had to use that form several times in order to stop him, that was how powerful that black ink and Bowser's rage had become."
"Yoshi Yoshi..." Yoshi mumbled.
Peach clasped her hands together, watching Fury Bowser's silhouette loom like a walking apocalypse.
"But he promised not to use it unless absolutely necessary?" She asked softly.
Mario nodded, "After we calmed him down, Junior begged me not to tell anyone. Said that it was a mistake. Bowser himself promised he wouldn't use that form again unless his family was in real danger."
Daisy crossed her arms, though her hands trembled slightly, "And now he's pulling that form out again?" She let out a low whistle, "Yeah. If Eggman thought he was fighting regular Bowser, he's about to get scrambled."
{Sonic the hedgehog (IDW Comics) Universe}
Eggman Base:
Eggman's jaw dropped and fell out of his seat in shock as he stared at Fury Bowser for the first time.
"W-W-W-WHAT IN GAIA'S NAME IS THAT?!" Eggman screeched, scrambling to his feet as Fury Bowser unleashed a cataclysmic roar.
"Uh I think it's Bowser's new transformation boss." Orbot informed him.
"I KNOW THAT, ORBOT!" Eggman barked, dusting off his coat as he climbed back into his chair, "Now be silent! I am thinking!"
Cubot leaned closer to the screen and commented, "He looks kinda... extra crispy."
"Not helping Cubot!" Eggman snapped, steepling his fingers as Fury Bowser's colossal silhouette filled the screen.
'Why didn't I know about this form sooner?! Drat! I knew I should've placed a few drones back in his universe to spy on him months ago! No calm down Eggman! This is just a minor setback! If Death Battle allows me to use all of my resources then maybe the Death Egg can kill him! Yeah! There's no way he could've survived a direct blast like that!'
While Eggman was busy thinking on how to take down Fury Bowser. Metal Sonic was analysing every frame of Fury Bowser. His processes whirred as his servos clenched in anticipation.
He knows that he needs to be in his Neo form in order to take down Fury Bowser, maybe even going Super or Metal Overlord should be enough to stop him.
Cubot glanced at Metal Sonic and said, "Uh, boss? He's doing that scary quiet thing again."
Eggman exhaled slowly, "Yes... of course he is."
He leaned back in his chair as his eyes gleamed despite the sweat forming on his brow.
"Metal Sonic understands what this means." Eggman said as he stared at Fury Bowser with determination, "That overgrown turtle has a new form? Bah! I could care less! My greatest creation would still defeat him! Especially if he copied Bowser's biodata!"
A smirk soon formed on his face and said, "Bowser will taste defeat today, I will make sure of it."
["Okay, seriously, how does Mario ever beat this guy? He's like Godzilla, Doctor Strange, and John Cena all in one big turtle!" Boomstick exclaimed.]
["Oh, we're not even to the best part. Bowser's dark magic became so potent that he eventually learned how to warp the very fabric of reality." Wiz revealed.]
["Anything the king imagines, he makes happen." Boomstick confirmed, "He turned all of Yoshi's Island into a storybook, and remember those painted worlds in Mario 64? Yeah, he made those! And the staircase that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and... Oh god, does anyone know how to BLJ?"]
["He also stole ultra-powerful items like the Wonder Flower, which can mold reality like Play-Doh, and the Dream Stone, which can be used to wish someone out of existence." Wiz continued.]

{The Amazing World of Gumball Universe}
Wattersons' House:
Gumball's jaw dropped as he put his hands on the sides of his face as he shouted, "He stole a flower that molds reality like play-doh and a stone that can wish people out of existence?! And yet he uses It to kidnap the same princess and loses to the same plumber for forty years!! I would've used it for much better stuff with that kind of power!"
"Well what would you use it to wish for Gumball?" Darwin asked his brother.
He paused as he put a hand on his chin, "...Okay, I'd probably still wish for unlimited video games... and snacks that never run out."
Anais deadpanned from the couch, her eyes never leaving the screen as she said, "So you'd waste omnipotent, reality-altering artifacts on junk food and digital distractions."
Gumball shrugged as he said, "First of all, they're premium snacks. Second, have you seen how hard it is to get the limited-edition stuff these days?"
"Well, I'd wish for world peace! And for everyone to be friends! And maybe for nobody to ever feel sad again!" Darwin exclaimed in a hopeful tone.
Gumball slowly turned towards him and said in a condescending tone, "Darwin there's no way that's ever going to happen, not in this universe or any other universe out there."
"...Yeah. You're probably right." Darwin sighed, "But I can still believe people could try to get along."
"Technically speaking, absolute world peace would require altering free will, restructuring economic systems, eliminating scarcity, and fundamentally changing human psychology." Anais spoke up.
"Wow. Way to stomp on the dream, Professor Buzzkill." Gumball chided her.
"I'm not saying it's impossible." Anais replied calmly, "I'm saying it's complicated."
Richard waddled into the room , holding a sandwich as he asked, "Did somebody say 'wish-granting stone'?"
Then his eyes spotted the Dream Stone and said, "I'd wish for a sandwich that makes more sandwiches every time you eat it!"
"That sounds really nice honey but you're all missing the bigger issue," Nicole said firmly, "Bowser had the power that could reshape reality itself... and yet he still kept repeating the same mistake."
Gumball nodded rapidly as he shouted, "THANK YOU! That's what I'm saying! If you've got reality-warping magic, at least try to expand your goals beyond doing the same thing over and over again!"
{Ratchet and Clank Universe}
Aphelion:
Ratchet's wrench had slipped from his grip, clattering against the deck plates. His feline ears flattened against his head and his eyes were locked on the screen, "So you're telling me that this guy can basically do whatever he wants? Warp the battlefield, rewrite the rules, and he's got items that can literally make wishes come true? That's crazy!"
Beside him, Clank stood perfectly still as his glowed with rapid calculations. His metal frame hummed with processing power as he analyzed the data, "Fascinating. The entity designated 'Bowser' possesses reality-warping capabilities that operate on pure imagination. I have calculated the potential applications of such power. The results are... theoretically infinite."
Ratchet turned his head toward him and asked, "Infinite how?"
"Infinite." Clank repeated evenly, "There are no discernible upper limits to what he could've achieved with proper foresight and discipline."
There was a pause and before Clank added, "And yet, he chooses to use that power to kidnap a princess and lose to a plumber is... downright embarrassing."
"...Clank, are you saying he's wasting his potential?" Ratchet asked him.
"I am saying that his priorities, while emotionally understandable, represent a remarkably inefficient use of his god-like capabilities." Clank clarified.
Ratchet scratched behind his ear and said, "Wow. When you put it like that, it sounds like he's got the universe's biggest toolbox and he's using it to hammer the same nail over and over."
"A surprisingly apt metaphor Ratchet." Clank replied.
["But his most iconic thefts are those big, shiny Power Stars." Boomstick said as the screen shows the infamous Power Stars.]
["Don't judge a book by its cover. Infant Power Stars, AKA Lumas, can become whole galaxies. They also ferry Mario across the universe in three seconds. That's 489 quadrillion times lightspeed." Wiz calculated.]
["Obviously, the big daddy Grand Stars are even crazier. Bowser used one to power his space kingdom, but then guess who showed up to ruin everything?! It's-a him!" Boomstick exclaimed as the screen showed Mario defeating Bowser yet again.]
["And when the Grand Star was freed, it caused a chain reaction that destroyed the entire universe via a massive black hole." Wiz noted.]
["Thank space god that Rosalina showed up to save the day." Boomstick said in gratitude.]
["Not that Bowser needed saving; he's been swallowed by another black hole and thrown into a star that went supernova." Wiz revealed.]
["Imagine if this crazy OP fire turtle had to fight himself! Oh wait, he DID, and he beat the hell out of him!" Boomstick exclaimed as the screen showed Bowser beating Dark Bowser.]
["With all his power, it's a wonder he still hasn't conquered the Mushroom Kingdom. Perhaps it's because his visions of grandeur were never really what he sought." Wiz wondered before he continued, "Surrounding him is a crew of outcasts and miscreants like him! Ride-or-dies that can't be swayed against him"]

["Awwww, are you saying he's secretly happy 'cause he's got a big monster family now?" Boomstick asked his coworker.]
["Yes... but also, when they actually work together, they legitimately conquered most of the known universe, so..." Wiz answered back.]
["He's a baddie through and through who will teleport through space and time to show you what's what. Because he's no ordinary Koopa; make way for the king!"]
[As Boomstick finishes his sentence, an animation plays that shows Bowser standing triumphantly on top of the defeated bodies of Mario, Luigi, and a pile of Toads, with another pile of defeated Toads seen in the foreground and a torrent of flames raging on in the background. Bowser is also accompanied by Bowser Jr. in his Junior Clown Car and Kamek as the "Game Over" message from the original Super Mario Bros. appears.]
There was some commotion across the Omniverse, while many still think that Bowser is a villain, they couldn't help but noticed that despite his bad tendencies of kidnapping Peach and forcing her to marry him over and over again, he is at least a good dad and would do anything for them, which the various parents across the omniverse understand that feeling.
Now that his segment is finished, they wonder just what kind of tricks or special abilities does Eggman have in order to stop Bowser.
["Citizens of Earth, lend me your ears!" Wiz announced to everyone, "Imagine a world of endless possibilities, where people are free as the wind. Isn't it... Disgusting? Now, imagine a better world, one with proper guidance and the technology to bring about global peace!"]
["But Wiz, only a brilliant mind can make that happen!" Boomstick said sarcastically.]
["Not just any brilliant mind; he's a genius at heart who knows the dangers within. He's Ivo Robotnik." Wiz introduced the villain.]
["Doctor Eggman!" Boomstick clarified as the screen shows a picture of Doctor Eggman.]
["As a mad scientist myself, his story is my inspiration, just as Eggman's was his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, who sought to create world peace through technology." Wiz said as the screen shows an image of Gerald Robotnik, "But then, his beloved granddaughter, Maria, was killed by the Guardian Unit of Nations, better known as..."]
["G.U.N. They're freakin' called G-U-N."Boomstick clarified again.]
["Anyway, lil' Eggy grew up a lonely narcissist because all his family talked about was "Maria this", "Maria that", boohoo!" Boomstick said with fake pity in his voice.]
["Neglect and envy tainted Ivo's goals of following Gerald's footsteps. He distanced himself from his grandfather's legacy; instead of bettering the world, he would conquer it, to get the attention he deserved!" Wiz explained Eggman's reason for conquering the world.]
["No, you mean craved. Desperately craved." Boomstick corrected him.]
["Eh... tomato, tomato." Wiz said bluntly.]
{Sonic the hedgehog (IDW Comics) Universe}
Restoration Headquarters:
The room went quiet as the screen displayed the image of Gerald Robotnik.
The mention of Maria... and G.U.N.... hung heavy in the air.
Sonic crossed his arms, his usual cocky grin nowhere to be seen.
"...Yeah. That part's true." He admitted quietly, "Eggman doesn't exactly advertise it, but his family history? It's messed up."
Tails looked down, his twin tails swishing behind him as he said, "I read some of Doctor Gerald's research files once. He really did want to help the world. The Space Colony ARK project was supposed to be revolutionary... before everything went wrong."
Knuckles raised an eyebrow as he muttered, "So let me get this straight. His granddad tries to help the world, loses someone important, and that somehow turns into Eggman deciding he's gonna conquer everything? That's a weak excuse."
"I mean, if he'd actually been cared for instead of growing up buried in resentment and expectations... then maybe he could've been a good person." Amy said with a frown.
Sonic tilted his head slightly and said, "You're talking about Mr. Tinker right?"
Amy nodded, "Yeah..."
Surge was confused on who this Mr Tinker was and she asked, "Wait hold on who is 'Mr Tinker'? And what does he have to do with Eggman?"
"Well Mr Tinker is actually Dr. Eggman with amnesia." Sonic answered, much to Surge and Kit's surprise, "He's actually a good guy and lived peacefully in a small village. Fixed broken machines. Helped rebuild homes and improve their lives."
Surge stared at him in shock,"You're kidding."
"So what happened to him?" Kit asked him.
Sonic's expression darkened slightly as he muttered, "Dr. Starline happened."
At the mention of his name, Surge's fists tightened immediately and Kit frowned.
"Starline couldn't stand the idea of Eggman being... normal," Sonic explained. "He thought the world needed the 'real' Doctor Eggman. So he restored his memories."
Surge's jaw clenched as she muttered, "So he forced him back into being a villain."
Tails nodded, "Once Eggman remembered everything, his ambitions, his pride and grudges, Mr. Tinker was gone."
"So Starline's responsible for bringing him back." Kit said in a low voice.
"In a way, yeah." Sonic replied, "But Eggman's choices are still his own."
"That's the tragedy of it. We've seen proof he can be better. He just... chooses not to be." Amy said with a sigh.
"So deep down, there's a decent guy in there somewhere." Knuckles huffed.
"Maybe." Sonic shrugged.
{How to Train your Dragon Universe}
Great Hall:
Hiccup shifted slightly, his brow furrowing as he muttered, "So... his grandfather wanted to create peace through technology. But after losing someone he loved, everything spiraled."
"That doesn't excuse him from trying to conquer the world. Lots of people lose someone and they don't all become tyrants." Astrid said firmly.
Beside him, Toothless let out a soft, questioning chirp, ears twitching as he sensed the tension in his rider's voice.
Hiccup reached up absentmindedly and rubbed behind the Night Fury's ear ridge. "Yeah, bud. I know."
"Yeah, well, I didn't get showered with praise growing up either, and I'm not out trying to rule the world." Snotlout scoffed loudly.
Astrid shot him a look, "That's debatable."
Tuffnut nudged Ruffnut and said, "Imagine trying to conquer the world just because you wanted someone to notice you."
Ruffnut gasped dramatically as she asked, "Oh no. What if that's why Snotlout flexes all the time?"
"HEY!" Snotlout barked, striking a pose out of reflex before realizing what he'd done, "That's completely different!"
Fishlegs cleared his throat nervously, "I think it's just... sad. He had the intelligence to change everything for the better. And he chose domination instead."
Hiccup nodded slowly, "Yeah... I get that part."
Astrid looked at him and asked, "You do?"
Hiccup exhaled and said, "Growing up, I felt like I had something to prove. Like I had to live up to expectations. If I'd handled that the wrong way... if I'd let resentment take over instead of trying to understand dragons..."
He glanced at Toothless and continued, "...things could've gone very differently."
"Well, if this Eggman ever shows up here trying to 'conquer' Berk, he'll find out pretty quick we don't take kindly to that." Gobber grunted.
"Especially not when dragons are involved." Astrid smirked.
["You just said it the same way twi... Boomstick said before Wiz interrupted him.]
["He aimed to establish Eggmanland, a capital of science, and this paradise would have worked just fine if not for that blasted Sonic the Hedgehog." Wiz added.]

["For years, Eggman's plans literally blew up in his face, and he's a very sore loser." Boomstick remarked.]
["But just like any good experiment, the doctor did more testing, seeking better results." Wiz continued]
["He's created plenty of knick-knacks to terrorize the world with: a laser gun, a cloning ray, mind control cannons, a flying armada, typical evil scientist stuff." Boomstick listed off Eggman's weapons.]
["Then there's the big ones. He invented a Spatial-Displacement Trap which, while online, scatters a target's atoms across space. Oh, and then there's the Metal Virus, which transmutes organic tissue into living metal zombies. It's so deadly, it created a plague that nearly wiped out all life on Earth." Wiz explained as the screen shows the consequences of the Metal Virus.]
["Shame Eggman never made himself immune to it. That's a whoopsie." Boomstick pointed out.]
