Description
King Bowser Koopa Sr. is the main villain of the long-running Mario franchise and is the archenemy of Mario and perhaps Luigi (although his is technically King Boo). Bowser most commonly kidnaps Princess Peach, with whom he has unrequited love for, so he can make her his queen. However, he also been noted to want peach for his children's sake instead of his own, saying that the koopalings and Bowser Jr. deserve a mother.
Bowser is the king of the Koopa Kingdom, which is usually placed inside volcanoes or other hostile environments. Bowser differs greatly from the rest of the Koopas, who appear mainly as bipedal tortoises, while the Koopa King himself is significantly more ferocious and appears to be based on an ox or dragon as well. Standing at a menacing 12 feet tall, his iconic features include a large, spiked shell, horns, razor-sharp teeth, and a shock of red hair. In addition, while most Koopas appear to be herbivorous and prefer fruits and vegetables as their diet, Bowser, due to his sharp teeth, prefers meatier meals such as huge drumsticks or steaks.
Bowser's designs and personality can vary wildly based on his mood. Sometimes, Bowser has been known to be little more than a minor nuisance, being more childish and mischievous than dangerous. But, when he get serious or angry, he becomes a much more dangerous foe. This is no better exemplified than when he actually gave conquering a serious try, and not only overpowered Rosalina, a godlike figure in her own right, and her army of Lumas, but stole their Grand Stars for himself, and in the process, conquered most of the known universe, forcing Mario and Rosalina to hop literal galaxies to find him. On the ground level, Bowser is a threatening, yet humorous villain, never failing to give the people of the mushroom kingdom a challenge and steal his beloved. He's also been known as an anti-hero; even when Bowser is acting as a protagonist, however, he continues to insist he is an evil, malevolent character, and his reasons for helping Mario are typically for his own selfish agendas. Before a battle, Bowser often releases a loud, full-throated roar, or yells 'SHOWTIME!' a the top of his lungs as intimidation.
Bowser has been shown to be a caring father multiple times, feeling bad when he realized that Jr. knew Peach wasn't his 'mama', and he has cultivated a son/father relationship from the koopalings, despite being also considered minions.
Bowser is a master of dark magics, having been taught in the arts since childhood by his adoptive father figure and former King Koopa Kamek who currently serves as his most trusted military general.
Bowser is insanely durable, often taking hits that would down or kill other beings and shrugging them off.
Bowser is also stronger than all Mario brothers combined, including Wario and Waluigi, having lifted entire locomotives off the rails. In Kaiju form, he lifted and thrown a mountain, in addition to punching a skyscraper sized mecha castle out of orbit.
