== Appearance ==
The Mad Artist stands tall with brown hair, green eyes, & pale skin. His wardrobe consists of many different colors, as an artist's palette should be. He's been seen wearing blue, red, & green clothing. He even once sported a pair of Famllennium's golden 2018 glasses as a trophy in victory against him.
== History ==
=== Creatively Insane ===
The Mad Artist was born an unknown amount of years ago in the Ethereal Dimension, a cold, planet-sized pocket realm that is known for being inhabited by Realm Scavengers. At some point in his youth, he became a student of a prominent figure in this realm, a legendary artist named Rob Boss. Rob was known not only for his unmistakably beautiful afro, but also for the tool he used to create his art, a powerful weapon called the Crafter's Crayon. This tool could manifest matter in accordance to the wielder's imagination, & the Mad Artist coveted this power, so he became a student of Rob. Things were going well for a few years until one day the Mad Artist stole the Crafter's Crayon, as he wanted to use its true potential. He went mad with power & used the crayon to create weapons of mass destruction, ultimately leading to him creating a nuclear winter, making the cold Ethereal Dimension even colder, forcing it into a perpetual winter. It is unknown what became of Rob Boss during this frenzy.
On September 4th, 2017, the Mad Artist noticed an interdimensional vortex & curiously went through it, ending up in the Terrachaoverse. Upon learning about the supernatural entities that dwell in this world, he discovered a mass gathering of them in a competitive fighting sport called Super Battle Bros. He saw this as the perfect opportunity to utilize & improve upon his abilities, so he joined the roster & participated in the 9th Tournament, where he teamed up with the Camping Tubian Sniper to face off against the nightmarish Ghoul.
=== The Cold Feud ===
At some point later in the fall, the Mad Artist had to defend his territory from Famllennium & Manllennium, who were at the cusp of becoming the 2018 Bros, so they wanted to find someone to fight to test out their prototype glasses of special power. Unfortunately for the sparkling Imps, the Mad Artist was too powerful for them. Upon their defeat, Fam rage-quit & threw his glasses on the ground in frustration, with the Mad Artist claiming them in victory.
On November 11th, the Mad Artist found a Maizean named Corn Man trespassing on his territory, stealing a plush crayon from the ground after he thought it was an ear of corn. Not only did the Mad Artist not want anyone claiming his territory, but that crayon plush also had some value to him, as it was a stress-relief object of his that got lost in the snow. After some banter & screaming, the two engaged in combat, with the Mad Artist trying to hype himself up by claiming his victory over the 2018 Bros, only for Corn Man to cut him off every time he spoke. Their squabble got the attention of Gravebone, an eerie creature who was traveling in this realm to obtain a sacrifice for his God. Gravebone wanted to join in their battle & asked about the Mad Artist's glasses, to which he told him the tale of the 2018 Bros' defeat & how he obtained these glasses as a trophy. The Mad Artist & Corn Man then tried to get Gravebone to join either of their sides, but he bonked them both on the head & declared his independence. The three would then all fight each other, with each combatant displaying their unique abilities. As the fight raged on, Gravebone got increasingly annoyed with his opponents, so he used his Spinal Grenade & left. This would leave Corn Man & the Mad Artist to resume their fight with one another, but they eventually made a truce as they realized that their battle was quite unnecessary in the first place.
=== Making Amends & Engaging in More Tournaments ===
On Thanksgiving, the Mad Artist met up with Corn Man at the residence of the Almighty Tallest, where they all went to the backyard to goof around, quote some memes, smash some ice, etc. The Mad Artist was about to leave, but Corn Man saw that he almost forgot his crayon, so he made sure he'd get it before his departure.
On January 6th, 2018, the 2018 Bros. attempted their revenge on the Mad Artist by stealing his crayon, which Manllennium was seen thrashing around with it during an interrogative visit from the Almighty Tallest. After tossing it aside before having to combat Stupid Boba Fett, the Mad Artist was given his weapon back by Dan after the battle was over.
On June 10th, the Mad Artist came back to the Terrachaoverse during the 25th Super Battle Bros. Tournament & teamed up with Vacation Man, fusing to become Crayon Floater & combining both their weapons & powers to ensure an easy victory. It is unknown who exactly they fought.
The Mad Artist would return on July 4th, 2019 when he would participate in the 46th Tournament at the Fall Residence. His opponent was Imhotep, who he was evenly matched for. It was shown here that the Mad Artist had gotten more practice with his abilities, drawing a minigun into existence to fire at Imhotep. The two wrestled for a bit, but were caught off-guard when Pepsi Man suddenly appeared & jumped into the pool. The Mad Artist shrieked, as he could tell that Pepsi Man was a dangerous foe. The super-carbonated mascot then alchemized the pool water into Bepis, to which the Mad Artist drank some, but didn't seem to like it all that much.
As of now, the Mad Artist remains at home in the Ethereal Dimension.
== Personality ==
The Mad Artist is, as his name implies, riddled with madness, as he has dangerously misused his powers to do insane things for reasons unknown. He thinks highly of himself & acts out of his own pride, believing himself to be all-powerful with his mighty weapon. Though, even he has been humbled before, & has shown resolve in learning how to forgive his foes. This has been shown with his relations with Corn Man; their hatred for each other stemmed from a territorial dispute, but over time they realized that the other wasn't so bad, after all, as they were seen acting respectfully the second time they were seen on-screen together.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Superhuman Strength: The Mad Artist has a considerable degree of strength, as he was able to easily shatter solid ice, fight evenly against a younger Corn Man, & even contend with Gravebone. He is also comparable to Vacation Man, meaning in his earlier years he was strong enough to destroy a town. His last appearance showed him fighting evenly with Imhotep, showing that after he fought Corn Man, he took it upon himself to train & become stronger, able to destroy a city.
Superhuman Speed: Scaling to Corn Man, the Mad Artist is capable of moving at subsonic speeds & fighting at massively hypersonic speeds, as he was able to catch him off-guard. However, he is slower than Gravebone.
Durability: The Mad Artist was able to recover from Corn Man & Gravebone's attacks, which would include getting Shuckerpunched, blasted with bolts of dark magic, & kicked with the force of an avalanche. He was durable enough to withstand the destruction of a town in his earlier appearances, & is now able to withstand a city's destruction.
=== Special Powers ===
Cyrokinesis: The Mad Artist can generate snow from the moisture in his hands & throw it at his opponents. It is unknown if he has any other cyrokinetic techniques, but it seems unlikely given that he never bothered to use this power when fighting Imhotep in the pool. 
== Equipment ==
The Crafter's Crayon: Once used as a tool to create works of art, the Crafter's Crayon is the Mad Artist's weapon of choice. Resembling a light blue crayon, it's unknown what material it's made of, but it is hollow on the inside filled entirely with mystic energy, channeled by the sheer willpower of its wielder.
* Augmentation: Wielding the crayon can grant the Mad Artist a slight boost in physical capabilities.
* Interdimensional Travel: The user can draw portals with the crayon, which can also access the other realms of the Multiverse. This is how the Mad Artist was able to go from the Ethereal Dimension to the Terrachaoverse.
*Creation: The tip of the crayon can materialize matter, able to create works of art in the form of tangible objects. However, to use this properly, the Mad Artist must focus only on what he wants to appear. So far, he has only been seen using this ability to manifest a minigun to use against Imhotep. The most dangerous thing he ever did with the crayon was to create nukes that would bring forth a nuclear winter across his world.
* Erasure: At its best, the eraser on the crayon can shave away things on a molecular level. Unfortunately, the Mad Artist has not refined this crayon's ability to take this power further, otherwise this attack would work much more quickly & efficiently. This attack has been used two times in the series, both against characters who have healing factors, Corn Man & Imhotep, & it has been shown to halt their regenerating abilities, even if he only used it against them for a few seconds each.
== Weaknesses ==
While it's unknown exactly what weaknesses the Mad Artist himself has, his weapon does have its faults. If he cannot imagine/envision something, he cannot create it. The crayon is also unable to create life, just like the Pen of Might. The Mad Artist also seems to be rather careless & forgetful, as he's been known to forget his crayon sometimes.
== Trivia ==
* His wish to "turn the sky purple" was (accidental) foreshadowing of what would happen in December 2018, where the sky did in fact turn purple on account of Dan destroying the Earth with his Ultra Atomic Heat Ray.
