M. Bison

M. Bison, also known as Vega, is a major character from the Street Fighter series.
== Charactah Account ==
M. Bison is the leader of the multinational criminal organization Shadaloo, and the enemy of almost every character in the franchise. He is the wielder of a purely negative energy known as Psycho Power, which is fueled by evil thoughts and desires. Bison's ultimate goal is world domination, and his ambition has made him responsible for nearly every bad thing that happens in the series. Bison personally killed Chun-Li's father and Charlie, murdered T. Hawk's father and pushed his people off their native lands, and abducted teenage girls from around the world (one of them being T. Hawk's childhood friend) to serve as his brainwashed bodyguards and assassins.
M. Bison is an archetypal villain motivated by his own self-seeking interests and lust for absolute power through world domination. He is a megalomaniacal and psychopathic dictator and terrorist who seeks to rule the world with an iron fist whilst also being universally regarded as the greatest and most powerful martial artist of all time (stated in his own pre-boss fight dialogue with Ryu in Street Fighter Alpha 3), and will readily destroy anything or anyone who dares to stand between him and his shady goals. He shows a complimenting side, however, when he states to Karin Kanzuki that he watched her and Sakura fight, stating that they fight very well for girls and, after she defeats his Dolls, that Karin did well and is a qualified fighter.
Possessing a vast ego and a god complex, Bison is physically incapable of feeling empathy for others and even takes pleasure in watching people suffer at his hands, never feeling a shred of regret or remorse for the numerous atrocities that he has committed. In many ways, Bison's characterization is comparable to the clinical diagnosis of a real-life psychopath. Bison's malevolence and sadism are reflected in his iconic smile, a very wide grin that exposes not just all of the teeth but even the gums as well. He occasionally refers to himself in the third person and displays a twisted sense of humor, as well as a "business before pleasure" attitude.

== Trivia ==
* Due to how he is named differently in varying regions, he is known in the international fan community as "Dictator".
* Bison was the first character in the series to have a unique intro animation; in the Street Fighter II games, he removed his cape before being fought as the final boss. Beginning with Street Fighter Alpha, unique intro animations would be the norm for the fighting game series in general.
* M. Bison is speculated to have originated from Thailand, as in his debut game, he was fought in that country. However, his true birthplace remains officially unconfirmed by Capcom themselves.
** Though M. Bison's nationality is unknown in the original games, he is British in the 1994 live-action film and Irish in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
* In Street Fighter Alpha 3 he refers to himself by the full title of Master Bison ("Vega-sama" in the Japanese version), with Cammy and the Dolls referring to him in the same way as well. Despite M. Bison's followers (and himself) referring to him as "Master Bison" in Street Fighter Alpha 3, he is named "Lord Bison" in his Arcade mode introduction sequence in Street Fighter IV.
* In Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, M. Bison's win quote ("Get lose! You can't compare with my powers!") is clearly misspelled/mistranslated. This line later got corrected in Champion Edition and subsequent SFII versions ("Get lost! You can't compare with my powers!").
* In Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting, M. Bison is the only character to still use his first color palette as the default, selected with any attack button. However, he now uses his third palette as the alternate, selected with the Start button. This is reversed for all other characters - the third color is the default; the first color is the alternate.
* M. Bison's Japanese voice actor, Norio Wakamoto, is also known for voicing other Capcom video game antagonists, such as High Max from Mega Man X6 and Oda Nobunaga from Sengoku BASARA.
* M. Bison was planned to be a playable character alongside Charlie Nash and Ibuki in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but was dropped due to time constraints.
* His kick throw and extended animations for his Knee Press Nightmare all came from his Street Fighter EX appearances, and was first adopted in his Capcom vs. SNK appearance. He did not have a kick-based throw previously.
* During some character story battles in Street Fighter V, he has dark brown hair instead of white hair, implying that some parts of his storyline happened (some time during or before the events of A Shadow Falls) before his hair whitened.
