M.exe

M.exe is a virus made by JMcCormick. He is an insanely tall version of Mario with black eyes and sharp yellow teeth. He was created in April of 2016.

Appearance
M.exe is a taller, more demented version of Mario with pointy ears, unkempt hair and mustache, black eyes with glowing red pupils and blood leaking out of them, and a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth. Also his buttons on his jumpsuit are rusty and more orange, while his boots have a more red tint. A distinctive feature of M.exe is the letter M on his cap, which extends beyond the circle.

Biography
M.exe is a virus program that used to be a protection against piracy of copies of Super Mario World, but has turned into 2 independent creatures. One of the hackers tried for a long time to hack the SMW antivirus program to leak internal code, and found a solution in the Deep Web in the form of a hack virus. After hacking the program the copy of the game was broken, and 2 creatures appeared inside the code - Equalizer and M.exe. The first is the remnants of the code that do not allow M.exe to go beyond the program, and M.exe is a virus that hacked a copy of the game. He gained consciousness and imagined himself as a god who wants to go beyond the code and break into the real world of people to make chaos.

Since the SMW game world was broken, M.exe ported the code to a copy of the New Super mario Bros Wii on the computer and was able to leak onto the Internet. By collecting viruses and connecting to the exe system, he became the most powerful of all exes, which has the code from two games, which is why his world looks so strange. Also M.exe transmigrated itself into NSMBW's Mario vessel and locked his mind inside the code, resulting in Soul Mario. After meeting other Exes he created the M Cult and began recruiting an army to destroy the Equalizer.

Personality
He can be described as a cruel tyrant who is sure of his goals. He is ruthless, cunning and insane, but also gets depressed and furious at times if he fails to get something. He maintains friendly relations with some Exes, but is greatly annoyed by Mario3.exe and Carnivore Cap, which he calls "hopeless". He is also neutral towards Persephone and does not even mind when she hugs him, although he does not like close contact. In addition to all this he is also aroace (like his female version Maria), that is he does not have any romantic relationship with anyone.

Abilities

 * Body and environment control - M.exe is powerful enough to change the environment and itself to suit its needs, only this applies exclusively to its territory.


 * Teleportation - He can move both within his world and beyond, although this takes some of his strength.


 * Powerup's - The main feature of his powers is the use of items. At the same time, with each item, not only its appearance with the types of attacks changes, but also the environment.

Weaknesses

 * Since M.exe is a virus, any code change can be fatal for it. This means that if you erase the code, the virus will also be erased.


 * With each new transformation M.exe becomes weaker, as it exhausts it greatly.

Trivia

 * M.exe originally appeared in the unpublished Mushroom Kingdom Nightmare comic, in which Mario was possessed by a virus parasite and forced to kill almost everyone in this world. The only survivors are Luigi and Toad, who were supposed to confront this demon and save the world. In the new story, Luigi was killed, and the survivors were Daisy, Toad and Bowser Jr.


 * M.exe has a Faker form that is similar to Mario from NSMBW, but slightly taller and with sharp teeth. There is an alternate form - a deformed version from SMW, in which he looks like a black shadow with red eyes and teeth, and a glowing M letter.


 * This is one of the few viruses that combines the codes of two different games, which makes it more unique.


 * Also in this comic was extremely crooked art, from which a separate offshoot appeared in the form of a meme-character, which is called Mareo.xe.


 * M.exe followed the real life of people and with the help of their knowledge he chose the name Mephisto (also called Marphisto because of his association with Mario).


 * In the old story M.exe was called Monster Mario or simply Mario.exe, but after some time the author gave him a new name M.exe, because of the pronounced letter M on the cap, which extends beyond the circle. Also, the letter M represents the name Mephisto.


 * The comic takes place in an alternate Mario universe, where Mario himself has a modern palette but is made in the style of Super Mario Bros, and the world around him is similar in style to Super Mario World.


 * Based on the information provided by the character's author, M.exe has at least 15 different forms, several of which are no longer considered canon.


 * In the Satanotyrant form he becomes incredibly powerful, as he completely merges with his world. In this form Sonic.exe will not be able to stop him alone, so he fights along with the whole team.


 * The portals themselves are quite unstable, and often appear in other exe-game universes by mistake. For example, one portal ended up in the world of Sonic.exe and teleported him to the world of M.exe. By the way, until that time they did not even know about the existence of each other.


 * M.exe heard about the existence of Mario.exe from MM and his friends, mostly maintains neutral relations with them.


 * M.exe has a mental connection with his world, so when someone enters his territory (as happened with Sonic.exe), he will know about it immediately, so it is almost impossible to hide from him.


 * The world of M.exe itself has undergone significant changes - all the water has turned into either toxic blood or poison, and the hills and the earth are solid flesh. That is why, when M.exe threw a knife towards Sonic.exe and hit the hill, blood flowed from him.


 * M.exe's favorite weapon is a large knife. Although in the old story, he, like Mario.exe, used a cleaver.


 * M.exe is practically immortal, it can only be destroyed by erasing the main code from virus and freeing Mario's soul, but so far no one has been able to do this.


 * M.exe changed its design several times during the 7 years of project development.
