Summary[]
The human figurehead of Neptune and ex-husband of Cobalt Gemini. As one of the greatest brains of the world he’s always looked down on fellow humans as weak minded and ravenous animals. His work at Neptune is the culmination of his life’s work towards eliminating the weak links of the human race and replacing them with his very own customized race of superhuman soldiers. To reach this goal, he went through many phases of experiments. During that time he created an assistant for himself named Abliter, who ensured that experiments always remained under his control. Not long after he resolved to eliminate the current state of humanity, he reached his first milestone: the "Synthetic Body" theory. He believed that with a robotic core consisting of human DNA, he could literally grow a human body from it. He and Dr. Janus worked tirelessly to reach this goal, with multiple failures along the way. Though, one day, the two finally figured out the correct DNA formula, and completed their first successful test. Thanks to hero association insiders, Marx was able to acquire the DNA of the former number 1 hero, Blast. He used the DNA and implemented it into a core with the intent to grow a wife for himself, with whom he vowed he would 'create' his army with, the intent being for each child to bare the abilities of Blast.
That first successful experiment was the result of Blasts DNA. Her name; Cobalt. Marx coded the core to implement memories into Cobalt which made her believe that she was his wife. Years later, after Cobalt had mothered three of their children (with a fourth on the way), he had his wife form the organization called 'Pluto', with the intent being for Cobalt to pose as a partner to Saturn with the pledge of developing technology which would help the heroes. He wanted Cobalt to infiltrate the association and obtain the DNA of the modern S Class so that he could create his 'army.' After a series of events, Cobalt betrayed her husband and learned the truth, vowing to claim her life as her own. He battled her in an attempt to force her into being his 'baby making machine', however, he lost and was killed. Mega-X Abliter managed to claim strands of his DNA following his death, however.

Classification: Monster, Neptune Figurehead, True Boss of Pluto, "The Boss", "The Demon of Neptune"
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence (Designed his own battlesuit, as well as the battlesuits for Ozma and Dr. Janus. Was the first person to theorize about Synthetic Bodies), Large Size (Type 0; his suit makes him tower over average sized adults like Cobalt), Longevity and Immortality (Type 1; stated that he had the formula for a serum which provide eternal youth), Fear Manipulation (His presence is described as "looming", and instills fear even in his allies), Information Analysis (With Disaster Level Scanner, which shows him his enemy's threat level), Weapon Mastery and Vehicular Mastery (An expert with every function of his battlesuit), Body Control and Statistics Amplification (Contains hidden lasers inside of his suit and shifts his parts around to wield them. Can activate Rocket Mode, which opens various compartments around his body, giving him a significant speed and striking strength boost, and activate the other modes and systems as well), Absorption and Forcefield Creation (Can create an energy absorbing shield, which he can create a dual-layering for. Thanks to the dual-layer, it splits up the energy and absorbs in the most optimal way. The shield can only be deactivated by a single, overwhelming attack, much like Abliter's. It takes twice the force to break through the dual-layering and is simply stronger overall, with a slightly faster recovery time), Regeneration (His suit has Mid regeneration; much improved from Abliter and even Dr. Janus' suit, which Marx also made), Energy Projection, Energy Manipulation, and Homing Attack (Can blast massive energy beams and spheres from his palms, as well as many dozens of lasers which are hidden throughout his suit. The lasers home in on opponents and are able to pierce right through energy shields. Can also shoot rockets, which home in as well), Explosion Manipulation (Via Boss Mines, which far outclass Obliteration Mines, and can be contained within small spaces for extra damage), Flight (Via rockets and energy boosting), Danmaku (Via laser blast spamming; far superior than Abliter), Summoning (Can summon hundreds of Neptune Sentries and Neptune Battleships by releasing a vibration from his hands. Can also summon Abliter and his scanner minions), Electricity Manipulation (Can decimate the battlefield around him with lightning shot out from his suit), Statistics Amplification (Can greatly increase all of his stats by activating Boss Mode, which combines Skate Mode, Rocket Mode, Endurance System and Gigaton Punch Mode), Gravity Manipulation (Can manipulate gravity via Graviton Palms, which alter and twist gravity within multiple hundreds of meters in range, allowing him to crush opponents), Heat Manipulation (Can heat the outer layer of his suit hot enough to melt steel around him in moments), Resistance to Age Manipulation (As long as his age serum, remains in his bloodstream, he cannot be effected by age altering moves), Hacking (Could not be hacked by Sora), Heat Radiation, Electricity, and Paralysis Inducement (Scales above Abliter)
All previous abilities enhanced, Natural Weaponry (Claws, teeth, horns, etc.), Fire Manipulation (Can blast extremely hot concentrated beams and balls of flame), True Flight (Grows dragon-like wings), Self-Sustenance (Type 1, 2, and 3 due to his suits parts fusing with his organs), Cyberization (Upon monsterfication, his body fused with his battlesuit), Technology Absorption and Power Absorption (Can devour machines and gain their abilities. If physically touched by technology, his skin will suck it in and add its power to his arsenal. Absorbed his defeated sentries to recover quickly and gained power after doing so), Passive Damage Reduction and Aura (His "Master Aura" cuts the power of all attacks that land on him in half), Reactive Evolution (Due to the nature of his cybernetic parts, his body 'saves' the data of fights as they go on, improving his bodies stats and performances. Increases in efficiency as a fight drags on), Air Manipulation (Can alter the air around him into ripping winds that can even shred energy shields, such as Cobalts), Duplication (Can create tens of clones of himself, which are all commanded by the will of the original. The absolute limit is 50 clones, but the creation of a clone reduces the power of the main Marx. To counteract this, he hides himself manipulating darkness and preventing opponents from being able to see him), Fusionism (Can fuse his sentries into each other to form new, more powerful minions. Fused the Scanners and Abliter together after their deaths to form Mega-X Abliter, who can assist him when summoned), Vibration Manipulation and Sound Manipulation (By loudly roaring, Marx unleashes a vibrating shockwave which disrupts the makeup of his opponent and surroundings, dislocating the innards of his enemy, making them virtually useless. The roar is also 170 decibels), Acrobatics (Jumps around his surroundings like a wild animal), Regeneration (High-Mid; vastly improved from previously. Survived being nearly 'blown away' by Cobalt), Darkness Manipulation (Can trap opponents inside a shroud of darkness which blinds them and block them from sensing his location. Even blocked out highly advanced scanners, such as Ako's)
Attack Potency: Large Mountain level (More powerful than Rotten Sewerage. Ozma stated that even mountains can't stand in the way of his desires, and that his suits firepower is more than enough to obliterate them. Ako stated that he was more powerful than Rotten Sewage. Was able to damage "Awakened" Cobalt), higher with Gigaton Punch Mode (With Gigaton Punch mode, Marx is able to expend multiple gigatons of energy with each punch in his fight against Cobalt. Was capable of piercing her barrier, which he could not previously do), Island level with Boss Mode (More powerful than Queen Vacteria and Indvidual Parasite Kings, who can produce over 70 gigatons of energy. Fought "Awakened" Cobalt equally for a time. Far more powerful than his Indvidual Gigaton Punch state) | At least Country level (Upon monsterization, Marx's body fused with his suit, granting him the power of his Boss Mode. Fought with "Awakened" Cobalt on equal footing, whereas she had significantly overpowered him just before his transformation), Multi-Continent level with strongest techniques (The energy unleashed from his various 'Megalaser' attacks was stated to be threatening to the state of the entire continent. Comparable to Cobalt's "Plutonium Galaxy" technique, which is the attack that kills him)
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Much faster than Abliter. Was capable of fighting at a similar pace with Cobalt, who also stated that Marx was faster than Ako and Aiden), higher with Skate Mode and Rocket Mode (With Skate Mode, Marx easily surpassed Cobalt's speed. Successfully moved fast enough to confuse and distort Ako's scanning, which could detect Queen Vacteria with minimal trouble. With Rocket Mode, he could move even faster than Skate Mode in short bursts), far higher with Boss Mode (Gains the combined speed boosts of Skate Mode and Rocket Mode. Caught "Awakened" Cobalt off guard) | Sub-Relativistic (Far faster than his Boss Mode. Ako calculated his speed to be between 3-4% the speed of light. Kept pace with Cobalt and her "Max Aura". Mildly impressed Seiya)
Lifting Strength: At least Class G, likely far higher (Much more powerful than Queen Vacteria)
Striking Strength: Mountain level, higher with Gigaton Punch Mode, Island level with Boss Mode | At least Country level, Multi-Continent level with Strongest Attacks
Durability: Mountain level (Took multiple attacks from "Awakened" Cobalt, who was more powerful than Dr. Janus and Evil natural Waters reincarnation, which fought and survived Ako, Aiden, and Miro Fennbirn), Large Mountain level with Endurance System (Gains defense which is equivalent to the strength of the Gigaton Punch Mode. The Endurance System creates a small blue aura which enhances defense across Marx's entire body, including weak points. Survived Cobalt's more powerful techniques), Island level with Boss Mode (The combined power of all the modes serve to vastly enhance the efficiency of the Endurance System, allowing his defense to be parallel with his might. Repeatedly tanked many attacks from Cobalt before she used her Max Aura) | At least Country level (Much higher than previously, since his monsterized body was fused with his Boss Mode. Took attacks from Cobalt with her 'Max Aura')
Stamina: Superhuman (His suit has far more fuel than Dr. Janus and Ozma's. Did not slow down despite the amount of attacks he used against Cobalt) | At least Superhuman (Higher than before)
Range: Extended Melee Range (Via his sheer arm size), Hundreds of Kilometers with lasers and attacks | Extended Melee Range (Larger arms than before), Thousands of Kilometers with techniques (Far higher than before. Fired attacks across multiple cities at once)
- "The Boss" Battle Suit Mk. 1: Marx's signature battlesuit, which he designed himself to be the pinnacle of design. In actuality, it's a prototype created to test extra modes which are to be added to future Neptune machines. The modes include Skate Mode, Rocket Mode, Megapunch Mode, and the Endurance System. The abilities of the suit greatly surpass machines like Abliter, despite being a prototype.
- Neptune Sentries and Battleships: Marx is capable of summoning hundreds of Neptune Sentries and battleships which drop more sentries and bear immensely powerful cannons. The sole purpose of the sentries and ships are to assist Marx in battle. If Marx is caught between attacks the sentries use, those attacks will naturally curve past him to avoid damaging their master.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (One of the best minds at Neptune Inc. He personally designed his own battlesuit, Janus' battlesuit, Ozma's battlesuit, countless Neptune Sentries and created Abliter all on his own. He spearheaded the research on the Synthetic Body program, which culminated in the creation of Cobalt. Contributed to the design of various scanners. Against technological opponents, such as Ako, he is capable of deducing the inner workings of their programming to take total advantage of them. Despite this, it took a much longer amount of time to deduce the weaknesses of Dr. Hecate's machine. Overall, he is similarly as intelligent as his ex-wife Cobalt, who is also a brilliant scientific mind)
Standard Tactics: Marx expertly shuffles his abilities and analyses the situations in order to determine which mode works best at any given time. He believes in outright destroying his foes through the pure power of his suit and intelligence. After he monsterizes, he throws caution to the wind, aggressively attacking with all his might. He doesn't think of his next move as much, though his intellect is still there.
Weaknesses: Until he uses Boss Mode, Marx can only use one of Skate Mode, Rocket Mode, Gigaton Punch Mode, and the Endurance System at the same time. The speed of Rocket Mode only allows him to make straightforward moves which could be easily avoided if one is skilled enough to predict his moves before he makes them (since Rocket Mode allows him to blitz). If a battle is extremely long, the suit may run low on energy (Has to be many days for this to occur). In Boss Mode, the first weakness is removed | May succumb to anger. When he creates clones of himself, until the clones are beaten, he is weakened. Wielding his Megalasers expends significant energy, and so he can only use a couple of them per battle. If angered enough, he will ignore his stamina and use them more anyway, eventually resulting in his own defeat/death.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Graviton Palms: Marx can manipulate gravity via his Graviton Palms, which alter and twist gravity within multiple hundreds of meters in range, allowing him to crush opponents. He can freeze enemies, redirect attacks, and lower the gravity around himself or his opponent to change the flow of a battle. When used, the circular embeddings on the top of his hands glow a neon green. The maximum pressure is equal to 400 times Earth gravity.
Endurance System: A special program which enhances Marx's armor and overall defense. At the slight cost of attacking power, Marx becomes able to survive attacks which would otherwise cause major damage and overload his suit's regenerative ability.
Skate Mode: A special alternate mode where Marx changes his feet into skates, greatly increasing his movement speed. He can use the mode to skate right up the walls of buildings, allowing him to launch through the sky without the need for flying by bouncing off the walls. He utilizes the extra speed and change of fighting style to confuse enemies and catch them off guard. His agility in general is also raised.
- Boss Sweep Slash: A slashing move with Marx's energy sword where he bursts past his opponent and slashes right through their hips for a bisection. The speed of the slash exceeds his direct slash attacks by a significant amount, due to him only using it with Skate Mode/Boss Mode.
Rocket Mode: Marx's suit becomes inundated with dozens of rockets/rocket boosters, allowing him to massively raise his speed in short bursts. The rockets allow Marx to fly and blitz opponents of similar speeds. The downside to it is that he is so fast that his attacks are straightforward and can be dodged by slower opponents who are very skillful. Overall, the speed greatly exceeds Skate Mode, but is not nearly as easily controlled.
- Boss Rocket Punch: Marx charges forward, utilizing the speed of the rockets, and slams his fist right into his opponent. The amount of speed combined with the pure power of the punch makes for a blow that far exceeds Marx's general abilities. It's strong enough and speedy enough to disintegrate the enemies he hits.
Gigaton Punch Mode: This mode greatly increases the punching power of Marx. Like with Endurance System, the suit glows with a small, red aura that indicates the mode is active. As long as it is on, Marx's attack is far beyond his suit's initial limits. The mode overloads the suit with energy for a period of around five minutes before the mode needs to be switched. However, while it is active, Marx can obliterate opponents which were able to hold his own before the usage of the mode. Lasers and punches are overwhelming in the amount of energy used.
- Boss Giga Slam: Marx throws a punch at full power. The punch is so powerful that it could shatter Cobalt's energy barrier, whereas his previous moves did very little damage. The punch uses its energy to spread the damage in a controlled way across the opponent's full body, completely damaging every centimeter both inside and out. Even if it hits the air, a massive shockwave is launched which destroys his surroundings.
- Gigaton Lasers: Marx blasts thick, concentrated laser beams from all over his suit which pierce right through energy shields. The power packed into each one far exceeds his regular lasers, though they cannot be fired as fast and take more energy.
Boss Mines: Much more powerful versions of the Obliteration Mines Abliter uses. Each mine unleashes a massive explosion which blow over multiple skyscrapers. and can part the clouds above them (however, these mines can contain themselves to small, concentrated spaces, unleashing their full power right on their opponents). He throws them out and around himself. He can throw up to fifty of them at once before he decides to draw back from the explosions.
Boss Field: Marx creates a full-body shield which absorbs incoming energy attacks. Marx can activate two of them at once, layering them over each other, allowing him to absorb energy for much longer. It can be overwhelmed only by exceedingly powerful energy unleashed all at once, which would overload and bust the shield for a while. Due to the dual-layer, such an attack would need to be used twice to dispel the shield. Marx has a much shorter recovery time for his field than what Abliter does. In Boss Mode, there is a third layering.
Boss Gas: Marx releases a sleeping gas from the various laser openings on his suit. The gas is potent enough to effect Cobalt, who was unaffected by Abliter's gas. Marx uses it to put his enemies into an instant stasis. He blasts it omnidirectionally, making the gas hard to dodge, and preventing himself from being affected. After the initial firring, it continues to spread around the area slowly, affecting any who breath it in. It is much stronger than Abliter's version, as the gas can even disable technology when said tech is within the cloud of smoke. Marx is uneffaced because his helmet filters it out.
Boss Wave: Marx directs his hand forward and blasts a repeating wave of sound which disorients his opponent and traps them in a loop of full body pain. The sound is ear piercing and interferes with opponent brain signals, hurting their abilities to think at their regular capacities. It's much stronger than Abliter's Pluto Wave and disorients the technological programing of other robots and machines.
Boss Slasher: Using an energy blade from his hand, Marx slashes at his opponent. He is highly skilled with the sword, using the technique on both offense and defense. He can slash right through attacks to prevent any damage and can also use it to cut up his opponents. If necessary, he can fire the blade like an energy spike. It's much stronger than Abliter's.
Boss Megalaser: Marx summons the reserved energy of his suit, then compresses it all into one, very powerful beam attack. Marx blasts a 15x15 beacon of energy to destroy his opponent. The power of the beam is derived from his suits reserves, which provides it the power of atomic weaponry up to six gigatons. It's an attack with which he has the intent to devastate his surroundings. However, he will open with the move if his Disaster Level Scanner informs him that his opponent is much more powerful than he is. It's the upgraded version of Abliter's Pluto Megalaser. It can be used multiple times per fight before it has a negative effect on the total remaining fuel.
Boss Mode: The ultimate mode of Marx's suit. It optimizes the energy of the suit and allows the activation of Skate Mode, Rocket Mode, Gigaton Punch Mode, and the Endurance System all at once. The intermingled powers of Boss Mode greatly enhance his overall might, rather than simply allowing for the use of all his abilities at once, allowing him to challenge "Awakened" Cobalt. With Boss Mode, Marx can control the speed amps provided by Rocket Mode to maximize his fighting effort.
- Super Boss Storm: Marx fires over 500 Gigaton Lasers in half a second for total devastation. They instantly destroy barriers and destroy anything in their way with sheer, overwhelming energy. It's detrimental to the suits fuel reserves, though after one use there will not be much drawback.
- Super Boss Giga Slam: Marx concentrates his energy into one punch, inflicting damage three times his regular potency. The punch uses its energy to spread the damage in a controlled way across the opponent's full body, completely damaging every centimeter both inside and out. Even if it hits the air, a massive shockwave is launched which destroys his surroundings.
- Super Boss Rocket Punch: Marx blitzes into his opponent, slamming them with punches empowered by his rocket boosting. Due to the speed increase, it's nearly impossible to dodge, and Marx's control over his movements make his moves far less straightforward, removing his previous weakness.
- Super Boss Sweep Slash: Marx uses the combined speed of Skate Mode and Rocket Mode to sash through his opponent dozens of times while skating past them. He quickly turns around and continues to do so, slashing through every vital, and eventually finishing the attack by making them explode.
Monster-Cyborg Form: After being beaten around by Cobalt, Marx freaked out and underwent monsterization. As a result, his new body fused with his battlesuit, which was still in Boss Mode. As a result, he gained many new abilities which complimented his new form, in addition to retaining all of his previous ones.
- Master Aura: A passive aura around Marx which is always active, except for if he makes physical contact with his opponent, at which point the aura will disappear as long as the contact is being made. However, this will only occur if Marx himself initiates the contact, meaning that the aura will stand even if his opponent physically punches him. While active, any attack which lands successfully will have all of its strength and the effects of it cut in half.
- Boss-Master Flares: Marx fires hundreds of concentrated fire blasts, each one thousands of degrees hot. They have the power of Gigaton Lasers and the swiftness of Skate Mode.
- Technological Appropriation: A special technique where Marx can gain the powers of machines via a touch or by devouring them. With the attack, he gained the powers of his defeated sentries and battleships, also allowing him to heal. It is especially deadly against robotic opponents; he absorbs them into himself by making physical contact with them. The downside, however, is that he could overload his cybernetic parts and destroy himself by absorbing too much/an enemy who is too powerful on their own. He knows to keep it in moderation.
- Master Supernova: A special move where Marx intentionally fails a Technological Appropriation of an enemy. He wields a clone to do so (or many clones), by summoning them over an equally matched robotic opponent or having them touch them, at which point absorption would begin. Due to the equal power levels, the absorbing process fails, and both the clone and his enemy are fused into a chaotic ball of energy which promptly explodes, resulting in a gigantic explosion. The more clones used, the stronger the attack is.
- Save System: A special system which was created upon monsterization. With it, Marx is able to record 'save data' of all of his fighting and instantly apply said data to himself, making him much stronger both offensively and defensively. He can save different fighting styles into himself and perfectly replicate them, as well as combine different strategies and techniques specifically in a way that is advantageous against any given enemy. With it, he was able to counteract Cobalts energy attacks in a much more optimized manner.
- Shield Ripper: Marx throws his hands all around, generating slashing winds which shatter shields and cut enemies into over a hundred pieces. Before the wind ends, he is already able to wield anther move.
- Boss-Master Clones: Marx is able to create up to 50 clones of himself, all of which have similar power. However, they cannot act independently, and the actual Marx is weakened as long as the clones are fighting. He ides himself and commands them mentally. Usually, he will reserve some of them to protect his hiding spot. Exploiting him is very difficult, however, due to the sheer numbers of clones and the power they each possess. Unlike the original Marx, they cannot regenerate.
- Boss-Master Roar: By loudly roaring, Marx unleashes a vibrating shockwave which disrupts the makeup of his opponent and surroundings, dislocating the innards of his enemy, making them virtually useless. The roar is also 170 decibels, enough to completely destroy an enemy's ability to hear.
- Dark Shroud: Marx can contain himself within an expansive cloud of darkness which hides his presence. Even advanced scanners, such as the one installed inside of Ako, cannot detect him when the darkness is around.
- 10,000 Degree Megalaser: One of Marx's ultimate moves. He conjures all of the energy and fire within his new body, then unleashes it in the form of a 30x30 beam of 10,000 degrees Celsius, enveloping his opponent in beyond-solar heat. The beam extends outwards beyond the planet's atmosphere into space. Following its use, he is tired.
- Full Darkness Megalaser: One of Marx's ultimate moves. He conjures all of the energy and darkness within his new body, then unleashes it in the form of a 30x30 beam of destructive dark energy, enveloping his opponent in an immense field of endless pain. The beam extends outwards beyond the planet's atmosphere into space. Following its use, he is tired.
- Boss-Master Super Megalaser: One of Marx's ultimate moves. He conjures all of the energy and power within his new body, then unleashes it in the form of a 30x30 beam of devastating, all-encompassing waves of power, enveloping his opponent in an immense field of highly potent energy. The beam extends outwards beyond the planet's atmosphere into space. Following its use, he is tired.
Others[]
Notable Victories:
Laser Frogman (Froggy Universe) Laser Frogs profile (Speed was equalized. Both were 6-B, with nothing over High 6-B allowed, restricting Marx's High 6-A Megalaser attacks. Stage 3 Frogman and Monster-Cyborg Marx were used. Marx wielded his summoning and Technological Appropriation moves expertly and bided his time until he could use his clones to catch Frogman off guard. However, there were also some scenarios where Frogman could have won or kept it inconclusive. In the end, Marx was decided as the overall victor. Winning Move: Master Supernova.)
Axlven (Javenmon) Axlven's profile (Speed equal, both at High 7-A. Axlven's battling by Pokemon mechanics proved troublesome for Marx, as well as his use of copycat blocking out some of Marx's potential wincons. Marx was eventually decided as the winner due to his genius intelligence and general prowess allowing him to have the advantage against Axlven's possible strats. Winning move: Boss Wave + Boss Gas combo)
Notable Losses:
Queen Scarlet (Stick Shenanigans) Scarlet’s Profile (Base Scarlet and Boss Mode Gemini were used. Queen Scarlet had 7 jars of Revival Jelly. Fight took place in a flower valley with fighters starting 20 meters apart and speed was equalized. Marx had powerful offense and could strike multiple places at once, but Queen Scarlet dodged his attacks and revived long enough to poison him and beat him down from there)
Inconclusive Matches:
