M.exe

M.exe is a virus made by JMC. He is an insanely tall version of Mario with black eyes and sharp yellow teeth. He was created in April of 2016. 
==Appearance==
===Main appearance===
M.exe is a taller, more demented version of Mario with pointy ears, unkempt hair and mustache, black eyes with glowing red pupils and blood leaking out of them, and a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth. Also his buttons on his jumpsuit are rusty and more orange, while his boots have a more red tint. A distinctive feature of M.exe is the letter M on his cap, which extends beyond the circle.
===Poison M===
When M.exe using poison mushroom his colors change on black and purple, buttons, gloves, cap, boots and cloak became pink. Skin is pale, on the M symbol is displayed on the chest, and on the cap X symbol is displayed.
=== Inferior===
Merging with its world, M.exe turns into a four-armed monster with a disarticulated body, tringle-shaped shoulders with crystal-like particles emerging from different places of the body. The cap has a star with eye in the middle. Yellow spines emerge from the body.
=== Carnophobos===
In Carnophobos form he becomes more monstrous, gaining multiple eyes by merging with his victims. White and blood red tons predominate.
===Inconstant===
In Inconstant form M.exe is unstable and emanates black matter.
=== Mephisto the virus ===
In his true form, he appears as a black, skinny figure. On the body  red buttons and a wide smiling red smile with eyes and a large M symbol.
===Sanguineous god===
Having absorbed the entire code of his world, M.exe becomes a 300-meter giant shrouded in dark red colors. Something like eyes is visible from the body.
==Biography==
M.exe is a virus program that used to be a protection against piracy of copies of Super Mario World, but has turned into 2 independent creatures. One of the hackers tried for a long time to hack the SMW antivirus program to leak internal code, and found a solution in the Deep Web in the form of a hack virus. After hacking the program the copy of the game was broken, and 2 creatures appeared inside the code - Equalizer and M.exe. The first is the remnants of the code that do not allow M.exe to go beyond the program, and M.exe is a virus that hacked a copy of the game. He gained consciousness and imagined himself as a god who wants to go beyond the code and break into the real world of people to make chaos. 
Since the SMW game world was broken, M.exe ported the code to a copy of the New Super mario Bros Wii on the computer and was able to leak onto the Internet. By collecting viruses and connecting to the exe system, he became the most powerful of all exes, which has the code from two games, which is why his world looks so strange. Also M.exe transmigrated itself into NSMBW's Mario vessel and locked his mind inside the code, resulting in Soul Mario. After meeting other Exes he created the Cult of M and began recruiting an army to destroy the Equalizer.
=== The series plot===
Although M.exe was able to subjugate the NSMBW world, there were some characters left in the game world that were not infected, namely Daisy, Blue Toad, and Bowser Jr. Their code proved to be quite strong against the virus and so they became the main resistance in the M.exe world, trying to find his weakness and destroy him. These three were instructed by Equalizer to destroy M.exe, because one day it will find a way to kill the antivirus and break free, so the heroes set off on a dangerous journey.
Since M.exe himself was very busy preparing for the invasion, he did not have time to deal with the three chosen ones, so he sent his subordinates to them, among whom were Souls, Wario.exe and others. And the heroes had to resist them until they eventually got to the M.exe code and the final battle began. M.exe released his real essence and Mario's Soul began to resist in him until everything eventually exploded.
No one knows what happened after as the end of the story remains open. There is a theory that after the explosion the game code was erased along with M.exe, whilst others think that M.exe managed to survive but he went into the depths of the Internet for a new plan. In any case, no one has seen him since.
===NOTMK mod plot===
The events of the mod take place somewhere between the appearance of M.exe and its destruction. In 1.0 thanks to broken portals Sonic.exe gets into the M.exe's world, which starts a confrontation with him, and then an energy wave takes the characters of Sonic exe universe into the world of Mario exe, thus starting a large-scale battle. However in 2.0 due to the decision of the author, the plot was changed and now instead of Sonic.exe, BF and GF fight against M.exe. They enter his world after running a strange program that takes their souls inside the computer, leaving only their bodies. BF needs to defeat M.exe in a rap battle and defeat over 90 opponents from the Mario exe universe before getting to the Equalizer and having a final battle with him. Then their souls return to the real world and the file is deleted as if it never existed.
===Old plot from 2016===
A demonic virus enters the world of NSMBW, which turns Mario into a terrible monster and he starts infecting the game. In this plot Toad and Luigi are already fighting against M.exe, while Daisy is one of the killed souls. The plot is full of strange moments and therefore changed for a long time, until by 2022 it came to what we have now.
==Personality==
He can be described as a cruel tyrant who is sure of his goals. He is ruthless, cunning and insane, but also gets depressed and furious at times if he fails to get something. He maintains friendly relations with some Exes, but is greatly annoyed by Mario3.exe and Carnivore Cap, which he calls "hopeless". He is also neutral towards Persephone and does not even mind when she hugs him, although he does not like close contact. In addition to all this he, is also aroace (like his female version Maria), meaning he does not have any romantic or sexual relationship with anyone. 
== Souls ==
====Soul Luigi====
All that remains of Mario’s brother, whom M.exe treated very cruelly. He always considered Luigi a weak and scared loser, so he disfigured him with poison and turned him into a servant who always suffers and obeys his murderer.
====Soul Peach ====
Unlike Luigi, M.exe treated her more “tolerantly” because she seemed to him an ideal partner in ruling the world. He turned her into his queen, giving her the ability to control the void (a black substance without glare) and now she has almost the same power as himself. Despite the fact that M.exe is aroace, Peach has a strong sympathy for him and therefore takes care of him as a husband. Quite creepy but a little cute couple. :)
====Soul Bowser====
M.exe treated his enemy worse than the other victims, destroying his face with a cannonball and tearing out his shell. The body was so incapacitated as a minion that M.exe even had to infuse Bowser's corpse with a parasitic tentacled creature controlled by a flying arm called a controller.
====Soul Mario====
All that remains of Mario from NSMBW whose body was stolen by M.exe. When the virus entered the game, it replaced Mario by locking his soul (code) inside his consciousness, and they can contact inside the game code, a place that is some kind of catacombs covered in white noise.
Mario has become traumatized and weak after being tortured by M.exe, who views him as worthless. The only reason why M.exe has not yet killed him is that Mario and he are connected by the same code, and without it M.exe will exist unstable, which will entail the destruction of the world. Despite the wounds, Mario's spirit was not broken and he hopes that the remaining survivors will avenge him.
Technically, Mario can be brought back to life if you reset the game and the virus is killed, but it will be difficult. Due to his nature, this Mario cannot communicate with anyone.
==Forms==
===Carnophobos===
The Inferior form (the one from the third song) is effective in terms of controlling the world, but M.exe can invert this form and then he turns into a creepy meat creature called Carnophobos. The essence of this form is that his essence is turned inside out and now he uses psi abilities and telikinesis, but is extremely unstable. At the same time his victims are part of his body and periodically crawl out of different places (in the poses of the fourth song Luigi will crawl out of his chest, Peach from his head, Bowser from his mouth as if speaking about Mario’s connection with them. Brother is dear and is in the heart, constant thoughts of saving Peach in head and the eaten Bowser as a defeated enemy). This state also allows M.exe to mentally influence and weaken the opponent.
===Inconstant===
M.exe cannot maintain its meat form for long and eventually his shell loses strength and begins to crack, partially releasing the real essence of the virus. In this form he is called Inconstant because the vessel is in poor condition and he has difficulty controlling his powers.
===Mephisto the virus===
Eventually the shell cracks and M.exe takes on the true form of the virus - Mephisto. This is the same virus that came from a broken copy of SMW in NSMBW and took over Mario's body, turning him into a monster and placing his soul deep in the game code where no one will find it. Despite his external frailty Mephisto is extremely strong and can create any weapon from his matter that can actually cause damage even to demons.
===Sanguineous god===
The most powerful and maximum possible form of M.exe - a virus that absorbs the entire code of its world and becomes a huge creature 300 meters tall (previously it was Satanothyran which reached a height of 666 meters but I removed everything related to satan things because M.exe is only virus). While M.exe in this form cannot be killed by literally anything other than Equalizer.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities=== 
*Body and environment control - M.exe is powerful enough to change the environment and itself to suit its needs, only this applies exclusively to its territory. 
*Teleportation - He can move both within his world and beyond, although this takes some of his strength.
*Powerup's - The main feature of his powers is the use of items. At the same time, with each item, not only its appearance with the types of attacks changes, but also the environment.
===Weaknesses === 
*Since M.exe is a virus, any code change can be fatal for it. This means that if you erase the code, the virus will also be erased.
*With each new transformation M.exe becomes weaker, as it exhausts it greatly.
==Trivia==
*M.exe originally appeared in the unpublished Mushroom Kingdom Nightmare comic, in which Mario was possessed by a virus parasite and forced to kill almost everyone in this world. The only survivors are Luigi and Toad, who were supposed to confront this demon and save the world. In the new story, Luigi was killed, and the survivors were Daisy, Toad and Bowser Jr. 
*M.exe does not have faker form.
* M.exe is patient with Persephone, although he does not like close contacts, he allows her to hug him, as he knows that she is not dangerous.
*This is one of the few viruses that combines the codes of two different games (the other being equalizer) which makes it more unique.
*In the old comic was extremely crooked art, from which a separate offshoot appeared in the form of a meme-character, which is now called Mareo.xe.
*M.exe has a gender-opposite version called Mrs.exe (Maria.exe), which he treats as an ally and friend. Her color palette is pinker due to her female chromosomes, making her different from the original.
* M.exe refers to its name as Mephisto, but it rarely uses it.
*In the old story M.exe was called Monster Mario or simply Mario.exe, but after some time the author gave him a new name M.exe, because of the pronounced letter M on the cap, which extends beyond the circle.
*He absolutely despises the Equalizer due to the exact opposite, they both look like yin and yang.
*He can use different items to enhance and shapeshift, and the environment also changes. For example a poisonous mushroom fills the world with poisonous lakes and makes the air more toxic.
*The real entity M.exe is similar to The Shadow, but has a jagged wide mouth and a bunch of eyes in the area of normal eyes.
*Although NOTMK now has a different plot, the feature with portals remains and you can get into its world from another game at a completely random moment. 
*He maintains some friendly and collaborative relationships with other exes, is neutral towards Sonic characters & Persephone, and is greatly annoyed by Mario3.EXE and Carnivore Cap. 
*M.exe has a mental connection with his world, so when someone enters his territory (as happened with Sonic.exe or BF), he will know about it immediately, so it is almost impossible to hide from him.
* The world of M.exe itself has undergone significant changes - all the water has turned into either toxic blood or poison, and the hills and the earth are solid flesh. That is why when M.exe threw a knife towards BF (Sonic.exe in 1.0) and hit the hill, blood flowed from it.
* M.exe's favorite weapon is a large knife. Although in the old story he, like Ultra M used a cleaver. 
*M.exe is practically immortal, it can only be destroyed by erasing the main code from virus and freeing Mario's soul, but so far no one has been able to do this.
*M.exe changed its design several times during the 7 years of project development.
