M. Bison
All must bow and grovel at my feet, for I represent power you cannot dream of!
~ M. Bison[1]

Bison
As I had expected, you are the one who comes to me in all this chaos. You had the power to actually defeat that beast, now show it to me! (...) Humph! Power is just power! The desire for all power leads to conflict. And that conflict leads to the ultimate battle! Now is the time!
~ M. Bison to Ryu[2]

Summary

For unknown reasons, the child who grew up to be M. Bison (Vega in Japan) murdered his parents in cold blood before he was adopted by a tribe of Romani who taught him the art of Soul Power, an ancient art that allows the user to manipulate one's soul. Bison quickly mastered Soul Power and used it to expel all of the good and humanity out of him, turning him into an egotistical psychopath. He then evolved Soul Power into Psycho Power, took on the title M. Bison, and organized a group of mercenaries to help him succeed in global conquest.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 8-B | Low 7-B | High 7-A

Key: Base/Street Fighter Alpha 2, II and IV | Street Fighter Alpha 3/Empowered by the Psycho Drive | Street Fighter V/Empowered by the Black Moons

Name: M. Bison, Vega (in Japan), Dictator (international "neutral" name)

Origin: Street Fighter

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, likely in his 50s to 60s biologically and for his consciousness. A few years at most depending on the two bodies inhabited after his first death

Classification: Human, Leader of Shadaloo, Martial Artist

Powers and Abilities:

Empowerment and Absorption (Increases the potency of M. Bison's Psycho Power by absorbing human hatred and fear,[31] then directing them into him. Can also absorb the energy[32] of those imprisoned[33] in it, save for M. Bison himself and the Dolls), Energy Projection (Can fire[32] the stored energy), Healing (Can[34] heal[35] M. Bison indefinitely[36], even[37] from[38] distance[39]), Weather Manipulation (While powered by the Psycho Drive, M. Bison was able to generate a storm around the Shadaloo base[40])

Attack Potency: City Block level (Far stronger than the Four Kings of Shadaloo and the likes of Chun-Li, Guile and Charlie Nash. Effortlessy[41] defeated[42] the true Seth and overwhelmed[27] a serious Juri with the same ease) | Small City level (The Psycho Drive made him much stronger than before. Generated a skull-shaped storm[40] around the Shadaloo headquarter, which should require at minimum such levels of force) | Large Mountain level (Much more powerful than his base due to being empowered by the Black Moons. Their activation was one of the reasons that caused the summoning[2] of Necalli, who was meant to go after a Satsui no Hado-empowered Ryu[43] and then M. Bison himself[43]. Managed to put up a brief fight[2] with Ryu and his Power of Nothingness, but lost eventually)

Speed: High Hypersonic Travel and Combat Speed (Much faster than Sagat and Juri) | High Hypersonic Travel and Combat Speed, Massively Hypersonic+ Flight Speed and Reactions (Able to perceive and move at comparable speeds[44] to the Psycho Drive laser beam) | At least High Hypersonic Travel Speed, Massively Hypersonic+ Flight and Combat Speed (Faster than before. Would have kept up with Torrent of Power Necalli. Shortly contended with Power of Nothingess Ryu)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Much stronger than Zangief) | Class M (Far stronger than before) | Class M (Comparable to SFV Ryu)

Striking Strength: City Block level (Thrashed Seth and Juri) | Small City level | Large Mountain level (Superior to his previous self. Was meant to fight with Torrent of Power Necalli. His Psycho Inferno, which is composed of the same energy that powers his physical blows, could make Power of Nothingness Ryu feel pain[2])

Durability: City Block level (Took hits from Juri in two[42] occasions[27]) | Small City level (Psycho Power enhances his strength as well as his durability) | Large Mountain level (Endured some of Ryu's blows when they were fueled by the Power of Nothingess)

Stamina: Superhuman (A well-trained fighter, who can hold back and prolong battles with the the world's best warriors, such as Chun-Li, Charlie Nash and F.A.N.G, just to toy with them. Is one of the few individuals in possession of the physical and mental fortitude required to control Psycho Power without dire effects on their body and mind.[18] In SFV, Nash blew himself up while trying to absorb his power[2], and the latter still had plenty of energy, and enough to put up a fight with Ryu)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with Projectiles (His Chi Projection is superior to SFIV Ryu's), much higher via various abilities, Planetary with the Psycho Drive Satellite, Portal Creation, Clairvoyance and Corruption (The latter requires sufficient time to spread, possibly even years)

Standard Equipment: None notable.

Optional Equipment: The Psycho Drive, the Black Moons

Intelligence: Genius (A master martial artist, strategist and leader. Is the founder and commander of Shadaloo, the most poweful criminal organization of the planet, and even recreated it anew after its first downfall. M. Bison himself is stated to control all the other organizations of the underworld[45]. Shadaloo and its divisions, such as S.I.N., possess advanced[2] technology[46], extensive military resources[47], several bases all around the world and have their fingers in every type of activity, legal or illegal[45], ranging from drug trafficking, arms manifacturing[44] and human experiments[7], to controlling the high ranks of the US military[48], which take orders directly from M. Bison. Can correctly predict how the events would unfold over the years, like the time when he manipulated[49] Seth and S.I.N.'s actions from behind the scenes, stating that everything went according to his plan[41]. He predicted Necalli's[2] arrival, his defeat by the hands of Ryu[2] and the fact that the latter would have eventually faced him; even his own defeat may have been part of his schemes[2]. Conducted various projects for world conquest and to increase his power. Has always a backup plan[7] and knows several ways to ensure his immortality by transfering his consciousness into new bodies, whether they have been stolen or engineered by Shadaloo. Was a martial artist[7] in his youth and created a unique fighting style revolving around his Psycho Power[16], which also allowed him to develop many abilities and techniques. His skill allows him to frequently hold back just to toy with expert fighters of the caliber of Chun-Li, Guile, Juri Han, Charlie Nash and F.A.N.G, even countering all of the latter's countless killing techniques[45]. Could hold his own against Power of Nothingness Ryu and even Akuma recognized him as a worthy opponent[50], despite the difference in power)

Weaknesses: Highly arrogant. His Psycho Power at a point started to become too great for his body to handle (Hence his desire to find a stronger one). He seemingly cannot possess anyone at will, as the host needs to be either infused first with Psycho Power and brainwashed (Ryu), be specifically engineered for it (Seth and other spare bodies), be a clone of M. Bison himself (Cammy, Decapre, Ed and Falke) or possess his same soul (Rose)
