MX

MX is a horrorbrew owned by @RazzDazzleDoo. He is the main antagonist in the Creepypasta game Mario '85, which is meant to be a love letter to the original Super Mario Bros. game.
He's an unknown entity who inhabited a copy of Super Mario Bros. and disguised himself as a slightly-off version of Mario in order to lure unsuspecting players/victims into the game and play with for all eternity. He is Lucas's tormentor, of whom he killed and pulled his soul into his digital hellish dimension, forcing him into the body of Luigi.
==Appearance==
MX has three appearances that are shown in Mario '85; "False Hero", "Pipe Crawler/Fake Fighter", and his full appearance "MX".
As False Hero, he's a slightly off-putting Mario who's 6 feet. Having gaping eyes, longer hair, and slightly darker colors compared to Mario's actual sprite due to the NES NTSC color palette.
As Pipe Crawler/Fake Fighter, his skin is a pale green and is taller than False Hero at 9 feet. This is where MX's iconic smile starts to come in, and his mustache gets messier.
As MX, his final form, his is incredibly tall at 12 feet. And his color palette is much darker. With a dark red hat and overalls, and black shirt and boots. His skin is a pale white, and his eyes are covered by his brim to show off his menacing grin.
==Personality==
MX is a particularly ruthless and demented entity who will go to any length to claim as many souls as possible in order to integrate them into the game and make them his playmates for all eternity. Having existed since the beginning of time, all of his pent-up murderous sadism has been waiting billions of years to be unleashed on unsuspecting humans for his own amusement. He appears to have no remorse for his actions, dismissing his child victims' innocence and claiming that it won't get them far, confirming that he doesn't care about their age as long as he gets to torture and murder them.
He is also extremely intelligent and manipulative, having duped Lucas into believing he was trustworthy in order to gain an advantage over the child and eventually lead to his death. He's also astute enough to ensure that his victims have no way of retaliating against him, as evidenced by his removal of all powerups from World 1-1 and possibly the rest of the game, which may indicate a cowardly side to him if he's willing to remove anything from the vanilla game that can be used against him.
As False Hero, his personality is vastly different. He mimics both Mario's behavior and personality to a T, playing the role very well. MX uses this to his advantage to either lure in unsuspecting victims, or to mess with the ones he already has.
==Biography==
MX's background is entirely unknown, but aside from being an ancient spirit, he is said to have existed since the beginning of time and was created alongside the universe.
In late-1985, MX possessed a copy of Super Mario Bros. that ended up in the possession of an eight-year-old boy named Lucas after being purchased by his uncle, Mark for Christmas. A week after beating the game, Lucas noticed that it had began acting strangely, and eventually made contact with MX, who encouraged Lucas to "go to sleep" and that "the lights wouldn't hurt". Soon after the two made contact, Lucas would be found dead of a seizure and MX claimed his soul, absorbing it into the game and placing it in the body of Luigi.
After capturing Lucas' soul, MX altered the game so that Lucas would have infinite lives, allowing him to hunt down the poor boy and kill him over and over again.
==Powers and Abilities==
*Spirit physiology: MX is an extremely powerful spirit, making him extraordinarily strong in terms of raw power and strength, allowing him to topple enemies and objects that stand in his path.
**Enhanced jump: MX is shown to be able to leap at amazing heights, appearing capable of leaping from a seemingly bottomless pit back up to the surface.
**Immortality: MX has existed since the beginning of the universe over 13 billion years ago, and thus, is immortal and beyond the possibility of dying from old age, as well as presumably outside sources such as being killed and he got infinite durability with it
**Shapeshifting: MX can shapeshift between various forms and chose to take the form of Mario to lure in victims, albeit, heavily corrupted, large and monstrous. Despite this, he can also take a much less frightening form that better resembles Mario. 
***Mégethoskinesis: Excluding his shapeshifting from his faker to default forms, MX is able to change his size at will and is said to be able to grow to any size he wants and he is not only 12 feet
**Soul transferal: MX can capture the souls of his victims and implement them into the game itself. By taking their souls and placing them in the game, he can put them in the vessels of characters, such as he did with Lucas by placing his soul in the body of Luigi.
**Superhuman strength: MX is an absolute juggernaut and is capable of blasting his way through any and all forms of resistance, whether it be living or inanimate. He can effortlessly tear his way through tens of solid bricks without sustaining any wounds, as well as appearing seemingly unharmed after having jumped out of an apparent bottomless pit, but most likely he has infinite strength.
**Video game manipulation: MX appears to have complete control over the game he inhabits, with it being shown that he can change the reality of the game itself by altering the level design and bestowing immortality to Lucas by giving him infinite lives within the game.
== Trivia==
*It was originally stated that MX was an entity composed of data, however, recent pieces of trivia have revealed that MX is an ancient entity as old as time itself and is a spirit, which may imply that either MX's origins have been retconned or that him being 'made of data' in reference to him becoming one with the game he inhabits.
*When MX was starting to appear more online, many people thought his name was shortened from something else like "Mister X" or "Mario X", but this was never the case as his name was stated to just be MX, much like how GB is just called GB.
*MX is stated to be capable of using powerups, but they're pointless as his default abilities already grant him a lot of power.
*McDonald's Sprite is one of MX's greatest weaknesses.
*MX's clothes are flesh infused.
*If MX inhabited a game from the modern era of Mario, his true form would mostly remain the same but his false hero form would be different, such as having blue overalls.
*The reason why MX disguises himself as Mario is because he's aware of how he's beloved by millions. For this he sees him as the perfect character to distort to his liking.
* While his False Hero disguise isn't too convincing, MX is capable of playing the role of Mario quite well in terms of personality.
**His disguise used to look like an exact representation of Mario, but got worn down overtime the more he used it.
*If he and Mario were to ever meet, they would most likely fight.
*The only way Lucas can defeat MX is if he touches one of the flagpoles at the end of a level or the axe in one of the castles.
**This explains why MX snapped the flagpole at the end of world 1-1 in half before Lucas arrived, so he couldn't use it.
*MX isn't an EXE. He never was nor will he ever be. Please stop calling him one, I find it rather disrespectful, thank you. ~ FrazzDude
** Please, at the very least, respect that boundary. It's all we ask. ~ RazzDazzleDoo
*When MX isn't trying to kill someone, he adopts Mario's mannerisms around others. So while he wouldn't be invested in a relationship, he would definitely be a gentleman.
*There is also an officially endorsed MX parody twitter account, run by the owner RazzDazzleDoo. The tag of this parody is "FamiliarPlumber".
*MX hates Cherry simply because Cherry got to Lucas before he did.
*MX doesn't think Mario is as good as a target as Lucas is, best reason why; MX hasn't actually killed Mario yet.
*He once appeared in TOO LATE.EXE (as a cameo)
*MX also made a cameo in Fnas Manic Mania Recoded (he's is a alt skin for Nightmare Mario)
*MX and Lord X used to be friends, but as of January 2024 Frazzdude declared the friendship to no longer be canon due to his desire to dissassociate MX from the EXE community.
