| ~ Blizzard Midbus to Bowser |
Background
Midbus is an antagonist from the Super Mario Bros. series, making his first and only appearances in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Midbus serves as the primary rival to Bowser, and Fawful's right hand man.
Although Midbus doesn't have much stake in the overarching story, he is completely loyal to Fawful and will fight Bowser on a whim. After suffering defeat at the hands of Bowser during their first encounter, Fawful powered Midbus up through use of a Freeze Ray, which transformed Midbus into the fearful Blizzard Midbus. Still, Midbus lost to his rival, and encased himself in ice, yet to be seen since.

Powers and Techniques
All previous abilities, Ice Manipulation & Cold Manipulation (Can encase himself in ice and give off cold air from his snout, create Snawfuls made from snow, create small and large snowballs. His Snawfuls can create and throw chunks of ice) Explosion Manipulation (Can use Bob-Ombs, which explode after being hit), Status Effect Inducement (Blizzard Midbus's attacks can inflict the Sick status), Statistics Amplification & Healing (The icy breath of Snawfuls heals Midbus and increases his attack and defence)
All Mario characters can use Paint, which grants:
Conceptual Manipulation (Can remove paint from anyone with any attack)
The next set of the abilities are what Paint makes up, and thus what Midbus can remove:
Life Manipulation & Death Manipulation (Paint is all of life, and removal of it can cause a person or object to have no life within, having their concept of life be removed), Blood Manipulation (Paint makes up all of blood within someone, removing it is the same as removing their blood), Mind Manipulation & Memory Manipulation (Paint makes up the mind, as paint beings can directly speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Loss of paint can also remove your mind and memories), Spatial Manipulation (Paint makes up all of space. Removing it makes space as if it was solid), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Paint makes up souls and ghosts. Removing it is the equivalent of destroying your soul), Empathic Manipulation (Paint makes up all emotions. Removing it would mean the removal of emotion), Power Nullification (Paint makes up the ability to use powers. Removing it would mean the removal of using powers)
(See Note for extra information on Paint)Equipment
Ball & Chain, Bob-Ombs, Snawfuls
Other
Weaknesses: None notable.
Note: In Paper Mario Color Splash, the main point of the game is paint. Paint is a concept. As shown in the game, paint encompasses everything. And I mean everything. Paint is shown to be all of land, liquid, life (Once bringing Toad back via paint, Huey states that paint gives life. Additionally, paint can return the blood, organs, and skin to an old fossil that's been dead years ago), mind (Paint can speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Paint was able to take over Bowser's body and freely act on their own. Big Paint Stars are also shown to be alive), memory (Toad couldn't remember anything with the loss of paint on his head. Returning paint gave his memories back), emotions, space (even simple holes require paint to function as holes) and souls. Removing any paint would stop making anything work. It's everything.

- ↑ "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
