==Summary==
Maleficent is a major antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts series. She is an evil fairy who made her first appearance in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. She seeks to gain control over all the worlds and spread darkness throughout them. She is introduced in Kingdom Hearts as the leader of a band of villains from multiple worlds who seek to conquer Kingdom Hearts and thus rule all worlds.
To this end, they assist the Heartless in capturing the seven Princesses of Heart and devouring the hearts of the worlds. However, Sora and his allies manage to thwart her plans by defeating her cohorts and eventually the witch herself. Other games in the Kingdom Hearts series depict her initial rise to power and her later attempts to regain it, and while other Disney antagonists rarely have any significance outside of their original worlds, Maleficent's influence almost always extends throughout the worlds.

Attack Potency: Multiverse level (Is capable of fighting the likes of KHI Sora, Early KHBbS Ventus, and Early KHBbS Aqua. | Multiverse level (Defeated Lauriam, could put up a fight to Data-Sora right before he went against Sora's Heartless)
Speed: Infinite (Able to keep up with Ventus, who is regarded as one of the fastest characters in the series, comparable to others that can travel across the worlds with a Keyblade Glider, which has been shown to also relate to direct physical movements and is comparable to the Gummi Ship based on Aqua and Ventus getting to the Keyblade Graveyard within a day just like it while also including the threat of Gummi Heartless, not far behind Sora, who reacted to a Keyblade beam from Xehanort of a similar nature as this one)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Multiverse level (Can knock back Ventus in battle with her staff, able to harm Aqua and Sora in her dragon form) | Multiverse level
Durability: Multiverse level (Survived hits from Ventus, Aqua, and Sora) | Multiverse level (Could withstand attacks from Sora's Heartless)
Stamina: Superhuman (Is more than capable of dueling powerful Keyblade wielders for extended periods before retreating to revise her plans)
Range: Standard Melee Range with staff. Extended Melee Range as a dragon. Planetary with magic. Low Multiversal with the Corridors of Darkness.
Standard Equipment: Her staff, Her pet crow.
Intelligence: Maleficent is a conniving schemer who manipulated many of the events of the first game, easily swaying Riku to her side while convincing him that she cared about helping him find Kairi and serving as an obstacle to Sora at every turn through her actions or by getting the other Disney Villains to attack him for her. In combat she is easily one of the most powerful magic wielders in the entire series, quickly casting powerful spells like Meteor and is only rivaled by the likes of Aqua and Xehanort in this regard. However, she suffers from an incredible superiority complex, always looking down upon her foes and underestimating their power and potential, which has led to her defeat on numerous occasions.
Weaknesses: Maleficent is very arrogant and narcissistic. Due to her affiliation with the Darkness, she is vulnerable to light-based attacks.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Dark Thunder: Maleficent can launch bolts of black lightning from her staff or call downbursts of lightning from the sky.
*Meteor: Maleficent unleashes a storm of giant orbs of blue flame after chanting "Meteors of heaven, unleash thy fury!
*Ring of Flames: Maleficent can release pools of flame that prevent her enemies from approaching her from the ground. However, these can be dispelled by powerful light magic.
*Summoning: Maleficent continually summons Defender and Darkball Heartless to assist her in combat.
