Summary
Bedman (ベッドマン, Beddoman) is a character in the Guilty Gear series, who first appears as a playable character in Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-. He and his sister Delilah were born with such colossal intelligence that their brains would eventually collapse under the strain, so he has spent his entire life in a medically induced coma. A tiny fraction of his unconscious mind allows him to operate with supergenius intellect even while asleep. He served the mysterious ends of the Sanctus Maximus Populi Ariels, under the impression that the power of Absolute World would allow him to shape reality and recover his sister's consciousness from the depths of the dream world they reside in. Tragically, after waking himself up to avoid being killed by Robo-Ky and Venom, Ariels appeared to him and taunted him about the true nature of their goal - the eradication of all humanity - as his condition rapidly degenerated. In a rage, he initiated an incomplete Absolute World field, transferring his soul into his animate bed frame and retrieving his sister from the dream world before his body gave out.

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Regeneration (Low-Mid), Explosion Manipulation (Capable of creating explosions with his punches), Sound Manipulation, Self-Sustenance (Type 1), Precognition (His intelligence lets him accurately predict what will happen next), Dimensional Travel and Teleportation (Capable of traveling to different dimensions instantly), Telepathy, Memory Manipulation (Temporarily erased Elphelt's memory), Magic as Information Manipulation (Magic in GG is a result of manipulation of information in the Backyard), Forcefield Creation, BFR (Can teleport someone to the Backyard), Sleep Manipulation, Time Manipulation and Duplication with Déjà Vu, Can trap his target in a nightmare world made up of their worst fear (This has shown to be powerful enough to even trap That Man, and dying in the nightmare kills the target in real life), Reality Warping, Durability Negation, Existence Erasure, Law Manipulation and Resurrection (Able to warp, resurrect and erase others in the dream world, though he doesn't have these in the real world while comatose. Also stated that his words are rules within his world), Possession (Possessed his bed after dying), Spatial Manipulation, Transmutation, Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Deconstruction, Death Manipulation, Biological Manipulation, Matter Manipulation and Disease Manipulation (Temporarily created Absolute World, which will kill any lifeforms, erases everything within the area, and merge the Backyard, an alternate dimension composed of chaotic information that breaks down the fundamental laws of anything inside, and reality), Resistance to Extreme Cold, Cosmic Radiations, Death Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Reality Warping, Transmutation, Information Manipulation, Deconstruction, Biological Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation and Disease Manipulation (Temporarily resisted Absolute World which will kill every lifeforms, deconstruct matter at sub-atomic to macro quantum level, erase everything in the universe and create information flares), Matter Manipulation, Spiritual and Mental attacks (Able to reside in his dream world, which is part of the Backyard), Sleep Manipulation (Constantly in a medically induced coma but still conscious), Power Nullification (Magic beyond the twelve Divine Steps, like Bedman's, is immune to traditional countermagic) and Empathic Manipulation (Able to resist Elphelt's Instant Kill to some extent)
Attack Potency: Likely Large Planet level (Fought evenly against a rusty and semi-retired Slayer while using less than 8% of his full power. Slayer felt the need to train for the first time in ages before trusting himself to defeat Bedman. Managed to sever Slayer's right arm. He does, however, perform much worse after Gabriel cracks his bed frame, allowing him to be taken on by weaker characters), Low Complex Multiverse level via Absolute World (Able to cause Absolute World, which can erase everything in the universe by merging Backyard, a higher-dimension, and the world, destroying even the universe's space itself, this also includes the Underworld Hill, a pseudo-living space formed in the Backyard that is beyond space-time as a whole.) Able to ignore conventional durability in variety of ways
Speed: At least Relativistic+, likely higher (Impressed Slayer with his speed, avoiding several of his attacks and catching him off-guard. Pinned Chipp Zanuff)
Lifting Strength: At least Class P (Capable of matching Slayer in terms of strength)
Striking Strength: Likely Large Planet level (Cut Slayer's arm off)
Durability: Likely Large Planet level (His bed clashed with a semi-serious Slayer and only suffered a severed arm. Took an attack from Gabriel, albeit with damage. Survived the epicenter of Robo-Ky's self-destruction immediately followed by Teramachina System), much higher with Absolute Defense: Felion (The spell projects a forcefield that has only been broken by several extremely skilled magic users such as Sol and Asuka working in concert)
Stamina: Below Average (Thanks to his advanced brain. He has been asleep for his entire life, as even 4 minutes of his true intelligence would place lethal metabolic strain on his body. His bed frame, being mechanical, likely has Superhuman stamina)
Range: Extended Melee Range normally; Thousands of Kilometers with attacks; Low Complex Multiversal with teleportation and BFR.
Standard Equipment: His reinforced bed frame, which is strong and fast enough to overwhelm Johnny, Chipp and even Slayer, and armed with powerful robotic appendages, extending spikes, missiles, and a concussive alarm clock.
Intelligence: Supergenius (In a world full of futuristic magitek and geniuses, Bedman is considered a freak for his intelligence. His I.Q. and mental energy levels were so impossibly vast, even as a toddler, that his own physical form couldn't biologically contain it, and he was forced to bond into his bedframe robot in a permanent coma to keep most of his mental processes dampened. Almost certainly even smarter than Happy Chaos as a result, who suffered from no such condition)
Weaknesses: Compulsively talkative. Extremely condescending and rarely, if ever, fights at full power. Cannot speak, warp and erase in the physical world, and his brain is not functioning at full capacity. If he ever wakes up or is separated from his bedframe, he only has 4 minutes before his own thought process will overload his physical form and petrify his body.
