Power Hungry Mastermind

**Fawful** is one of the main antagonists of the *Mario & Luigi* series, being the secondary antagonist of *Superstar Saga,* a minor character in *Partners in Time* and the main antagonist of *Bowser's inside Story*. He is a mad scientist from the Beanbean Kingdom who serves Cackletta and aids her world domination plans, before gathering the resources to take over both kingdoms.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He is a hardworking genius who climbs his way up from being a sidekick to a powerful mastermind.
* He is incredibly funny, as his dialogue consists of weird food metaphors and many other funny jokes, resulting in almost everything he says being comedy gold. The only other two Mario antagonists who come close to rivaling Fawful in terms of comedy is Bowser and *Su**per Paper Mario'*s Dimentio.
* He is extremely intelligent and manipulative, as he outsmarts and manipulates everyone throughout all three games in his way to world domination.
* He is great at building cool and powerful weapons and machines with his face on it.
* He faced the powerhouse Bowser alone with no fear despite being much weaker than him.
* He is the most intelligent and competent villain of the series, being successful in taking over both kingdoms and being the closest to kill Mario, Luigi, and Bowser.
* He proved himself to not only be a loyal henchman to Cackletta, but also an affable boss to Midbus.
* Despite being one of the weakest characters in the series with no powers at all, he makes it up via his sheer intelligence with machines, his craftiness, and the Dark Star powers, being one of the most powerful threats of the whole franchise, merging with the Dark Star in the final battle that is widely considered to be the best boss fight in the series.
* Despite his crimes, he does not cross the line of being so despicable to undermine his magnificence and he is never petty or hateable, with even of his worst acts of spreading an epidemic only making the Toads fat and not killing anyone. Not to mention there are other more heinous Mario villains like Princess Shroob, Cackletta, Antasma, Bowyer and even Bowser himself.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* He assisted Cackletta in taking over the Beanbean Kingdom and helped her destroy the Kingdom's capital twice.
* He destroyed Bowser's airship for his hatred toward Mario Bros. that had got most of Bowser's pilots eliminated alongside some other minions.
* He murdered a guard at Hoohoo village before laughing at his death.
* He brainwashed Bowser's minions twice, leaving unbrainwashed victims in a cage the second time.
* He caused the blorbs epidemic, which made the Toads extremely overweight to the point that they'd destroy their homes and squash people when they'd roll onto them.
* He gave Bowser a Vacuum Mushroom, which caused him to inhale a large part of the forest and several innocent Toads just so Mario and Luigi would be out of the way.
* He ended up leaving Bowser in a cave to slowly rot immediately after he inhaled the Mario Brothers.
* He gave Bowser a victory feast to drop his guard so he'd fall into the room with explosives, which would cause him to get blown up.
* He mercilessly attacked Toad guards to obtain the Dark Star in order to take over the Mushroom Kingdom.
* He captured Peach to slowly drain her energy so he could bring back the Dark Star.
* Even after the Mario Bros stopped him, he still attempted to kill them one last time out of spite despite having nothing to gain from it anymore.

## Trivia

* He is the only character in the *Mario & Luigi* series to be a Magnificent Baddie.
