Tier: 8-A, higher with reality warping
== Appearance ==
Capitalism Man has a variety of clothes, as he is rich enough to buy whatever outfit he wants, but his appearance will always include a select few items on his person. He wears a sparkling green fedora, speckled with golden dust, & a pair of gold-rimmed aviator goggles.
In Crashing Waves, he wore a black shirt with golden words that said "BAM SHOCK DODGE". Apparently, the gold letters are actually made of gold, as a decent amount of his wardrobe is actually gilded in some way.
== History ==
=== Buying Success ===
Buxaplenty was born into a wealthy family in the South Dimension, which allowed him to have a luxurious (& spoiled) life thanks to his father, Richard Buxaplenty. Throughout his later youth & into his early adulthood, he rose to power within an unknown governmental system & became the self-proclaimed Ruler of the South Dimension. However, this isn't exactly true, as the South Dimension is actually endless, constantly branching out into one direction & one direction alone. But for whatever province in that dimension he was born in, he owns it all & every territory close to it. It's not entirely known as to how exactly he rose to power, but it could be thanks to a reality-warping die that he found, which appears to allow him to do whatever he wants.
At some point in time, the Penny Thief crawled into his dimension & stole the pennies of everyone he could find, including Max himself. Thankfully, he was able to force the thief back to his home universe. Henceforth, they became mortal enemies.
=== Profitable Combat ===
Thanks to a lower-level Dwarf named Mijit, Max became aware of a multiversal fighting tournament called Super Battle Bros. Curious, he decided to partake in it, but before that, he would need a cool super-name, so he dubbed himself Capitalism Man. Whenever he would partake in a tournament, bets would placed by his people wagering who they think would emerge from these battles victoriously.
On April 7th, 2019, Capitalism Man would come to the Terrachaoverse to attend the 43rd Tournament, where he would combat his archenemy & Flameboy, who was a fusion of Corn Man & Vir-Jin Fortnite Swett. However, during their free-for-all match, the Penny Thief mysteriously vanished. Entering the stage was the masked magician, Heximus, who served as their b0ss battle. Capitalism Man had to team up with Flameboy to take down this powerful sorcerer. Though details remain vague, they ultimately came out victorious, but by a very small margin, reluctantly sharing some of his reward with Flameboy.
Capitalism Man would return to Super Battle Bros. on August 24th, where he attended the 47th Tournament with the intent of facing Claw-Machine Man, but was challenged by the famed pirate, Biggus Dickus VII. As they would have a sword duel together, Capitalism Man used his die & summoned a random combatant. However, it was not who he was expecting, summoning a horrid creature known only as the Nasty Patty. As the tournament would get crazier with Claw-Machine Man summoning a gigantic metal claw from the sky, forcing everyone to leave, the Nasty Patty would fight Hallows Ghoul, & Capitalism Man could only watch the chaos that this battle had turned into. Realizing that he made a mistake summoning that abomination, he rolled the die again & summoned Ultraman & Pepsi Man to defeat Claw-Machine Man & end the tournament. Capitalism Man would return to his wealthy home afterwards, collecting a substantial reward.
== Personality ==
Capitalism Man, as his name implies, is devoted to the principles of capitalism, controlling his nation's trade & industries all in the name of profit. At the end of the day, it all comes down to money. Evidently, he is very greedy & has a high opinion of himself. He likes to cheat his way out of things when he realizes he's losing, but is smart enough to recognize when he's made a mistake. He also has a rather distasteful opinion of the poor, as he called Biggus a "dirty tax evader" under his breath.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Superhuman Strength: Capitalism Man is fairly strong, able to contend with the likes of Biggus Dickus, Flameboy, the Penny Thief, & Heximus. His base strength is slightly weaker than Biggus', as he struggled in a duel with him. However, his Reality-Warping Die can make him stronger if he lands on the right side.
Superhuman Speed: Capitalism Man's movement speed is nothing to praise, but his reaction & combat speed are something else, as he was able to duel with Biggus & fight other Super Battle Bros. combatants superior to himself.
Durability: Though his fight record is short, he has shown that he can combat & best powerful opponents. He can withstand some of Heximus' magic & briefly contend with the Penny Thief, but he doesn't really have any other feats known for his durability.
Skilled Swordsmanship: At some point in time, Max learned how to use a sword in combat, in which he always relies on his trusty (& expensive) Platinum Sword.
== Equipment ==
Reality-Warping Die: Capitalism Man always carries with him a large silver die wherever he goes. By harnessing the magical power that comes from his die, he can defy logic & make it so that whatever he says goes. This authoritative power allows him to do all sorts of crazy things. The die is also able to change its size to fit into Max's pocket, making it more portable than its true size. Since the die is six-sided, he can use six different abilities at a given time; below are the ones he has demonstrated in his battles:
* Side 1: Augmentation: If he lands on a one, Maximilian can increase his physical attributes such as strength, speed, durability, & stamina.
* Side 2: Vocal Law: If he lands a two, he can unlock new abilities or command absurd things to happen just by saying so.
* Side 3: Summoning: If he lands a three, Max can summon any combatant from the Super Battle Bros. Roster to his aid, but the result will always be random.
* Side 4: Money Vacuum: If he lands a four, Max can create a vacuum-like wind that allows him to specifically steal people's money, even if it's not on their person.
* Sides 5 & 6: It is unknown what powers the fifth & sixth sides of the die grant him.
Platinum Sword: Capitalism Man's weapon of choice is a sword with a platinum hilt & blade. It has a lion face on its hilt & has a relatively short blade for someone of his size. The sword itself wasn't actually intended for intense combat, & was originally made more so for show. However, the die can give it some magical properties, like with the Money Vacuum power.
Aviator Goggles: It's unknown as to why Max wears aviator goggles, other than the fact that they're made with gold, but these can prevent dust & gases from getting in his eyes.
== Weaknesses ==
Capitalism Man is arrogant at his core, & will often underestimate his opponents, especially if he believes (or knows) that they are of a lower financial level. Also, his reality warping powers will not work if he is not in possession of his die. Not only that, but his Random Summoning ability can sometimes backfire, as he may not summon a desirable combatant.
== Trivia ==
* His last name, Buxaplenty comes from the character Remy Buxaplenty from The Fairly Oddparents.
* In Crashing Waves, at 6 minutes & 28 seconds in, Capitalism Man calls Biggus a "dirty tax evader", however the sounds of their swords clashing along with the music make it hard to hear.
