- Count Bleck

Summary
Count Bleck is the falsified Dark One and secondary antagonist in Super Paper Mario.

However, Count Bleck used to be a normal man named Count Blumiere. He was part of the Tribe of Darkness, former members of the Tribe of Ancients that rebelled against their cause and formed their own laws. One day, Blumiere fatally injured himself, and he was going to die. But when he awoke, he was in a woman's house--what's worse, a human's house.

It was against the laws of the Tribe of Darkness to interact with normal human beings, for they cannot mix. Blumiere attempted to escape, practically limping out the door, when Timpani stopped him, and convinced him to stay until he healed. The two, from that day forth, became close friends. They snuck out every night just to be together. Eventually, their friendship turned into love. And their love became burning hot.

But one day, Blumiere's father caught his son sneaking out, and followed them. When he seen that Blumiere was, in fact, interacting with a normal human being, he used his ancestors' magic to thin Lady Timpani's literal life energy to a thread, but not before cursing her, forcing her to wander universes for all eternity until death do her part.

Blumiere, heart broken, searched for his love. He searched, and searched, and searched, and searched... But never did he find her. She was his world, his life... Without her, everything is meaningless... empty.

Succumbing to thoughts of nihilism, Blumiere, failing to heed his father's warnings, took up the dark book of prophecies, the Dark Prognosticus, and adopted a new persona--Count Bleck. He then murdered his father in cold blood, and erased every inch of his entire universe.

Statistics
Tier: High 1-C | High 1-C | Low 1-B

Name: Count Blumiere

Origin: Super Mario Bros.

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, likely between his 50s and 60s (Blumiere stated he did not have long to live after his boss fight)

Classification: Member of The Tribe of Darkness | Dimensional Black Hole

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes and agility, Flight, Teleportation, Dark Magic, Darkness Manipulation and Reality Warping | Nonexistence | Superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes and agility, Void Manipulation, Reliant Invulnerability, Meta Space-Time Manipulation, Reality Warping, Life Creation, Duplication, Flight, Precognition, Black Hole Creation, Dark Magic, Immortality (Type 1), Time Paradoxal Resistance (The Chaos Heart protects its user from the destruction The Void causes, which would erase the user's past) and Resistance to Life and Death Concept Manipulation

Attack Potency: High Complex Multiverse level (During his final battle, the Chaos Heart and Pure Hearts canceled one another out, leaving just base form Paper Mario to fight base Count Bleck whilst inside The Void) | High Complex Multiverse level (Stated to destroy all existence, and make it as if everything, anything and everyone never existed at all. It even threatened heaven, hell and souls. And because String Theory Soup proves that the Marioverse's secrets reside within String Theory, which is a theory that supports 11-dimensionality, this feat was consuming eleven dimensions, making it 11-dimensional) | Low Hyperverse level (The Chaos Heart was shown three times to make the user unstoppable unless the Pure Hearts are brought into the picture, and was even so far as stated to be invincible in comparison to everything, making the Chaos Heart the most powerful artifact in the entire Marioverse aside from the Pure Hearts)

Speed: Immeasurable (The Void consumes all existence--all worlds, all dimensions, all timelines, all possibilities. This would also mean it destroyed all time within the Marioverse. Count Bleck could still move after The Void destroyed Sammer's Kingdom, and could even move whilst INSIDE The Void. And to be specific, having time annihilated on a 4D scale justifies infinite speed. But the Marioverse has super time, the 11th Dimension. There is time--being above time is infinite, and most fictional universes that don't abide by String Theory only have a space-time continuum. However, abiding by String Theory gives the Marioverse a super space-time continuum, where space beyond the axis of X, Y and Z move, and where they move in super time--being above super time is immeasurable. The Void consumes all dimensions, so, if Count Bleck moves in a realm without super time, he has immeasurable speed. Not only all of this, but by being 11-dimensional, Count Bleck is naturally transcendental to a normal space-time continuum) | Immeasurable (Its rate of expansion covers all existence within days. And if powered by the dark one, it consumes it all within minutes) | Immeasurable

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable (Again, The Void consumes all. And what with the Marioverse being 11D, this would mean mass on a higher dimensional scale) | N/A (Black holes kinda don't lift things) | Immeasurable

Striking Strength: High Complex Multiversal | High Complex Multiversal | Low Hyperversal

Durability: High Complex Multiverse level (Tanked hits from Paper Mario and can survive inside The Void) | Unknown (It's stated that it won't be destroyed unless the dark one with the Chaos Heart falls. But then again, if you can destroy nonexistence, you can presumably destroy it without that requirement) | Low Hyperverse level (Is completely invincible and infinitely superior to everything in the Marioverse)

Stamina: Extremely high | Infinite | Infinite

Range: Several dozens of meters w/ magic, Universal+ going all out | High Complex Multiversal (Destroys all existence within the Marioverse) | High Complex Multiversal (Was destroying the entire Marioverse)

Standard Equipment: The Dark Prognosticus, Magic Scepter and Chaos Heart

Intelligence: At least Above Average

Weaknesses: None notable | If the dark one falls (dies), it will shrivel into nothingness, and its destruction will be halted. If the foe has the Pure Hearts, they can undo its destruction | Pure Hearts

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Dark Glob: Count Bleck waves his staff, and fires a powerful projectile--a small ball of darkness.
 * Super Flash: Count Bleck, right after slowing time, will dash forward with increased speed, in attempts to tackle his foe.
 * Chaos Heart: The most powerful half within this spicy little concoction.
 * Dimensional Rip: The Chaos Heart calls forth The Void.
 * Protect: The Chaos Heart empowers the user with dark energy, protecting them from any and all harm and granting them infinite power.
 * Summon: The Chaos Heart duplicates its user or gives life to an inanimate object, forcing it to serve its user.
 * Envelop: The Chaos Heart evelopes its user in dark power, granting them time manipulation, black hole creation, etc.

NOTE: While some would argue that Super Paper Mario's highly controversial, "And in the end, it will consume all existence... All worlds, all dimensions." refers to the common synonym universe for dimension, there is plenty pointing otherwise. Dimension D is the piece of evidence to say they mean universe. What says it means space? Well, Merlon stating that The Void is a hole in the dimensional fabric of space, Bestovius being referred to as a dimensional governor that gives out the dimensional technique, said dimensional technique being one that flips the user between spatial dimensions, and, well, sense itself. Why? "And in the end, it will consume all existence... All universes, all universes..." < I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. And besides, it consumes all existence and all dimensions, which would count as spatial as well due to the Marioverse abiding by String Theory.

NOTE #2: The following is a more in-depth explanation of why Count Bleck w/ the Chaos Heart is Low 1-B.

Tippi said: This sage was very wise and is even said to have written the Light Prognosticus... He was also a great magician who could control dimensions... The statements that were emboldened will come in handy later. Next...

The Light Prognosticus wrote: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_IjEPiYXhE&feature=youtu.be&t=15m50s The Void will swallow all... Naught can stop it... unless the one protected by the dark power is destroyed. The hero with the power of eight Pure Hearts will rise to this task.]

Now, please recall that Merloo wrote the Light Prognosticus. And he is saying that not even he can stop this prophecy. Of course, he controls dimensions--so Super Dimentio clearly has to be beyond his reach of power--a twelfth dimensional being.

Believe it or not, this is actually backed up by something else. And that something else is backed up by how the manipulation of the concept of death works.

The manipulation of death, as a concept, open wide opportunities. With this, you can instantly both kill an object and on the contrary, make it immortal, depriving it of the concept of death. In addition, you can kill even conceptually immortal beings, if your concept is stronger than the concept of a target.

Now, I'm proposing that Queen Jaydes has power over the concepts of life and death, and I'll be matching what she's done to the definition of the manipulation of life and death concepts.

Not only can she instantly kill Paper Mario in a game over (the one I'm proposing is 11-D), but she can also bring Luvbi back during the post-game, even though such a Nimbi never existed, and was merely a persona of the Pure Heart.

So, she has the power to both instantly kill a target and, on the contrary, make it immortal.

Now, she stands no chance against Super Dimentio--according to the definition itself, in order to not be able to kill someone, they simply must have a stronger concept.

And what's a stronger concept than higher dimensionality? Merloo supports it, and Jaydes supports Merloo. Heck, the Pure Hearts support it, as they have infinite power when in comparison to normal characters. This is all very consistent--and, it provides great reasoning for why the Chaos Heart and Pure Hearts were needed. Everything just... adds up.

NOTE #3: String Theory is divided into different theories. None are referred to simply as "String Theory." Allow me: Prior to 1995, theorists believed that there were five consistent versions of Superstring Theory (type I, type IIA, type IIB, and two versions of heterotic string theory). This understanding changed in 1995 when Edward Witten suggested that the five theories were just special limiting cases of an eleven-dimensional theory called M-Theory (the name behind it is for "membrane," or "mother of all string theories." Any version of string theory, by default, runs with M-theory). Thus, there are five versions of String Theory, all of which are connected to M-Theory. In Bosonic String Theory, space-time is 26-dimensional, while in Superstring Theory it is 10-dimensional, and in M-Theory it is 11-dimensional. Between these three, so we don't wank and so we don't downplay, M-Theory is the safest (and most likely) case the game had been referring to. And considering it didn't specify, simply calling it "String Theory," we would go by the safest and most likely case. In this case, M-Theory. Not to mention that Superstring Theory goes off of M-Theory either way, so we'd need specific statements to call it 10-D instead of 11-D. Which we do not have, unfortunately. This is why Mario characters are placed at 11-dimensional rather than 10-dimensional or 26-dimensional.
