Axem Red, or simply known as Red, is a major antagonist in the popular 2006 flash animation series, Super Mario Bros. Z, originally created by Mark Haynes/Alvin Earthworm.
He is the leader of the Axem Rangers X, an elite team of five skilled battle robots created by their hegemonic master, Smithy, and their main purpose is to make him more powerful to conquer the universe easily.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He is an elite soldier leading Axem Rangers X, working for his hegemonic master Smithy, assisting him on his way of conquering the whole universe.
- During his first encounter with Mario and his team, Red mentions that he and his fellow Rangers fought Mario before but lost, most likely talking about the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, in which they attempt to defeat Mario and his allies, and recover the sixth Star Piece for Smithy on his way of ruling the world.
- In order to search a power source to make Smithy more powerful, he and his fellow Rangers patrol around the Mushroom Kingdom and find a Chaos Emerald -which they call the "Amethyst of Might"- in Yoshi's Island. They disguised themselves as Yoshis -whom the Yoshi Chief states as "Strange Yoshis"- to steal the emerald from the Yoshi Tribe.
- Upon stealing the emerald, they invaded the whole island with their massive warship Blade, and enslaved Yoshis, forcing them dig up the island to find more emeralds.
- Provokes a fight between their team, Mario's team and Koopa Bros, and attempts to kill them in order to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds and keep for his master Smithy.
- In order to kill Mario, Red -empowering with Chaos Emerald- fires the Breaker Beam from their warship Blade, and destroys the mountains of the island, causing a massacre on the island life. When he failed to kill Mario, he fires the Breaker Beam once more, and was about to destroy the whole island had Mecha Sonic did not interrupt with him.
- Alongside his group, he attempts to destroy Mecha Sonic to take two Chaos Emeralds from him. While Mecha Sonic is indeed a bigger and eviler threat, the Rangers' main and initial purpose was to steal the emeralds instead of destroying a bigger threat for greater good.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He genuinely cares about his master Smithy and his fellow Axem Rangers.
- He is grateful to Smithy for reviving and upgrading him and his fellow Rangers, and works on empowering him.
- When Turbo Mecha Sonic killed the other Rangers, he expressed anger towards the killer and called him 'monster' before trying to avenge his friends.
- He has some comedic moments, such as his way of reaction upon learning Turbo Mecha Sonic's power level.
- His death is portrayed with slight sympathy, as Yoshi Chief sympathizes with him being brutally killed by Mecha Sonic, stating that even bad ones like Axem Rangers X do not deserve a cruel fate like that.
Trivia[]
- It is confirmed by Word of God that in the cancelled Smithy Saga, Red and the other Rangers would be planned to brought back to life by Smithy while creating a new member of the group, Axem Blue. Had this would happen, Red's status could have changed depending on how the series continue.
