The Koopa King.

Oh, how I wish this name still belonged to Bowser. With all his resources, his magic, his army, Bowser's goal was only to be loved by Peach. In hindsight, he was harmless. Now the name Koopa King is a name to be feared.

The day Bowser died, something changed in Mario. Maybe he had thrown one too many fake Bowsers into a lake of lava. Maybe he was just tired of seeing Peach kidnapped. For some reason after the event, Mario decided things were going to be different. He took Bowser's magic, his source, and usurped the Koopa King's throne. He whisked Peach away to another of Bowser's secret castles, where she languished for months.

Eventually, Peach decided things were going to be different too. 3 months into her stay at her new prison, she staged a breakout. And died for it. She was caught by a Banzai Bill and wiped off the planet. Whatever was left of my brother that day was eradicated. All that was left was the Koopa. And the Koopa was strong within this one.

He took all of Bowser's wasted potential, and put it toward destroying whatever he deemed fit.  His grief boosted his cunning and strategy, allowing Bowser's formerly useless army to lay waste to the Mushroom Kingdom and its surrounding neighbors. All that's left now is the resistance on Yoshi's island. The Shy Guy Tribes, the Yoshi Clans, and me. The future looks bleak.

Hopefully things have changed by the time you read this.
