**Midas** is a character in NewScapePro. He is the father to Marigold, husband to Rio, and son of Echo. He serves as the main antagonist for the second half of Season 12, a major antagonist in Season 14, and a protagonist & a prominent character in various following seasons. He is voiced by Ryan Stewart.

## History

Midas grew up with his mother, Echo and brother, Redux. He started his first job working at Durr Burger, until he met Rio, the love of his life. He got married to Rio and had a daughter named Marigold.

Midas left his his family to become an adventurer. Unfortunately for Midas, his wife Rio was taken by Oro without Midas' knowledge after she gave birth to Marigold. Oro (disguised as a doctor) lied that Rio died. Midas had sent letters to his family to seek guidance and his family wrote back but Midas never received them due to Oro’s intervention.

One day, Midas went treasure hunting. He saw Oro (disguised as a woman) being attacked by the darkness. The light started flowing through Midas and he defeated the darkness. Oro then gave Midas one wish, it could be anything, and he wished to turn whatever he touched into gold. Midas, dumbfounded by his new powers, accidentally gave in to a highfive with his daughter, Marigold. This turned Marigold into gold, a tragedy which stays with him for years afterwards.

He tried for many years to bring Marigold back, first by studying Dr. Slone, who was doing very complex equations that Midas thought could bring Marigold back. While working with Slone, Midas started The Agency. Slone and Midas became great friends but through Oro’s intervention, Slone turned against Midas. Slone then removed the memories of him ever meeting her.

After a few years of planning, Midas successfully killed Oro and brought Marigold back to life.

He died due to a consumption by a shark. A fair bit after, Tony Stark made a deal with Lady Death which brought Midas as a companion of Stark, but Midas took some control to check on The Agency (now known as The Ruins/The Authority). However, the Enforcer brought his body and life force back as Shadow Midas. Unfortunately, thanks to the Enforcer, only Midas' darkness was brought back, thus Shadow Midas did many evil things. The good side of Midas knew the only way to save everyone was for Marigold to stop him. Therefore, his daughter Marigold turned him to gold. He was gone for a few weeks, then Tony Stark and Marigold made him a robot body to come back alive as, and that is the body he was in, known as Midas Rex (though no one calls him that). Midas helped the heroes defeat Galactus and Midas ended up near the zero point with his daughter Marigold.

That same day while trying to investigate IO after having a flashback of the Device event, John Jones mind controls Midas and he stays like that for the rest of the season. Midas could barely control what he was doing but he could think whatever he wanted and would talk to his daughter Marigold sometimes through his mind. Eventually Midas got so dangerous that he was being programmed to kill his own daughter so he gave her most of the power of the light, though keeping his golden touch. This prevented him from killing her.

As of Chapter 2 Season 6, he was freed from IO’s control and is working with Rebirth Raven, Beast Boy, Marigold, Fade, Meowscles, The Mandalorian, and many more against Deadeye and Kondor. He is the leader of their group.

During the Season 6 finale, Midas, Raz, Isabelle, and Deadeye got abducted by aliens in the mothership. They were later saved by Rick Sanchez. Midas is now working with Rick Sanchez and his daughter Marigold. Rio returned, now known as Orelia, partially possessed by Oro. Because Rio could not recognize Midas, Marigold and Rick Sanchez made Midas a new body with all his body parts so Rio could recognize him. Thus he became Midsummer Midas.

Before the Mothership was destroyed, Midas changed back to his original suit from Chapter 2: Season 2. He stayed in that suit when he was working with J.B. Chipmanski and Venom during Chapter 2: Season 8 before leaving their team to spend time with Marigold.

He came back in Chapter 3: Season 2, and worked with the Seven in their battle against the IO, and the Seven helped him find his wife Orelia. One day, he was led by Orelia's voice to a cave to find her. He called Jules to come. Oro was pretending to be Orelia so when Midas got to the cave, "Orelia" said that she needed his power to turn back to normal. Oro then revealed himself and Rio came out of Oro's body. Oro then takes over Omega Knights body and then Jules and Skye show up. They are almost defeated until Ultima calls Skye and gives her the Infinity Blade. Then, Oro Omega Knight becomes weak, and Midas, Jules, Rio, and Skye take him and Oro out once and for all. Midas, Jules, and Rio then decide to go off the island to their home, and they invite Skye, but she declines the offer. Last but not least, Midas, Jules, and Rio drive away on thier boat, to live the life that they always wanted and to be a family again.

What an ending for such an amazing character. Rest well, Midas. You deserve it.

## Trivia

* He can control his power to an extent.
* He was the Master of Light for a few months before he gave most of his power to his daughter, Marigold. Though he has given most his power to Marigold he kept his golden touch and he is still able to utilize it as well as she can, some can argue maybe even better. He was able to save himself from when Deadeye stopped time.
* In a voice trolling, he says that he was around 40 when Fortnite came out, so that means he must be in his 40s or 50s. He doesn’t like to say his age though.
* It is revealed that Midas is afraid of sharks and the sea because he died by a shark in the sea while Midas was challenging Beach bomber and Ruby’s boyfriends to a “race of the land and the sea”.

* He always has a drum gun as his main weapon if he is being filmed in creative.
* Midas rex no longer used The Kingmaker Swords ever since he gave the power of the light to Marigold.
* After Midas became Midas Rex he had a robotic voice for about 1 season. His voice then went back to normal when he was freed from IO’s control in Chapter 2: Season 6.
* Midas once had to have his original blue hair cut off by Marigold when it got stuck in a ceiling fan.
* His blue hair used to sometimes glow.
* He lost his power to Oro in his finale.
* when being turned gold by Midas your blood turns to orange crush (the us soda. Yum.)
