Summary
Wario is a recurring character in the Mario series. He is an obese, muscular, hot-tempered, and greedy man, and Mario's yellow-and-purple clad arch-rival. He usually appears as an antagonist, or in some cases an anti-hero. His name is a combination of Mario's name and the Japanese word warui (悪い), meaning "bad". Wario's greed pushes him to commit malevolent acts, such as the seizing of Mario's castle. Wario has also proven to be very cunning as he has tricked Mario on many occasions. He often goes out on his own adventures, from stealing treasure to running a microgame making company. Wario has helped heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom on a few separate occasions as well.

Name: Wario
Origin: Super Mario Bros.
Gender: Male
Age: 24 years
Classification: Human, Treasure Hunter, Star Child
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, durability and agility, Explosion Creation and Poison Manipulation w/ farts, Earthquake Generation and Shockwave Generation w/ certain techniques, 4th Wall Awareness (Super Mario-Kun only), Energy Manipulation, Duplication, Power Absorption, Mind Control, Fusionism (Can fuse his own essence with a tree), Plot Manipulation (Broke through the panels of the manga itself), Resistance to Plot Manipulation (Defeated the Super Mario-Kun Manga Kamen, who writes the scripts and plot; if he beat someone like that, he definitely needed to resist his power to bend the plot into his favor), Regeneration (Mid-High; can regenerate completely from being crushed flat, burnt to ash, torn to pieces, etc.), Flight, Intangibility Nullification, Increased speed, Healing, Flame Breath, Electrokinesis, Machines and Floatiness via various Disguises, Invulnerability w/ Power Flower, Nigh-Invulnerability as Wario-Man. Hallucinogen Releasing (This same power even affected Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, as well as others) and Melting (Even melted Mario, though he was saved) as Tree Wario
Attack Potency: At least Universe level+, likely Multi-Universe level (Fought and killed Black Jewel, easily ragdolling him. Defeated Rudy the Clown, who was stated as a threat to the music box world and the "outer one," which is the actual Marioverse. Thus, he is a threat to two entire universes) | At least Multi-Universe level', likely High Multiverse level+ (Scales to Mario in the 3D platformer games. In Super Mario 64, Mario defeated Bowser, who was under the effects of the Power Stars, which enabled him to create universe-sized realms within the walls and paintings. He had to of created the time in the painting as well, as time and space cannot exist without the other. Further evidenced by how Tick Tock Clock is a world entirely based on time. Now, why universe-sized? Because just Bob-omb Battlefield is described by Mario as a parallel world of some sorts when he calls it a world and compares it to the main verse's realm as a world. Additionally, the Super Mario 64 Official Player's Guide provides further support for them having the power to create entire universes, each of them having their own separate space-time. We know Bowser created these worlds individually, because Toad describes them as Bowser's "separate" worlds. We also know Bowser made this pretty much instantly and he couldn't have created them one at a time) | Large Star level (Comparable to other captains, like Mario, Peach and Diddy Kong, who create a star in their Mega Strikes with a widely expanding space all around) | High Multiverse level+, likely High Hyperverse level (Fought Bowser during the events of Mario Party 5, where he stated and showed he was going to ruin, or, destroy Dream Depot, and all dreams within it. In Dream Depot, the dreams of the multiverse's denizens are turned into entire universes. Bowser also planned on destroying Future Dream; this dream in particular was stated by Misstar AND by Mario Party 5's guide booklet on page 28 to be an entire universe, meaning each dream is its own universe. With this info, Dream Depot ranges from at least 5-D to infinite-dimensional). Higher w/ the Star Rod (Mario Party) | High Multiverse level+ (Battled Mario numerous times, and has even beaten him down on a few occasions, who has defeated Bowser, whom of which annihilated the Manga Kamen. The Manga Kamen has absolute godhood over the manga, and exists in a higher realm than it and its characters; he sees them as mere fictional works, as if they're on a piece of scrap paper while he is the artist. He sees this entire 4-dimensional multiverse as fiction. Seeing a 2-B multiverse as mere fiction makes you a higher dimensional being in comparison--High 2-A; and Wario scales to this)
Speed: Inaccessible (After Black Jewel erased his universe, turning it into a white void of nothingness, Wario was still able to move freely. He even did this in the beginning of the game, too) | Massively FTL+ to Inaccessible, likely Immeasurable (Should not be too far behind Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. In Tick Tock Clock, the progression of time is dependent on when you enter the world. Entering at 12 o'clock stops time completely, yet Mario can still move freely in this state. Wario is also capable of the same feat) | Sub-Relativistic+ (Capable of moving and interacting when at a distance from a large black hole. While he was definitely not behind the event horizon, light still gets bent and affected at that distance, so Wario moving at all is still around this level of speed) w/ Relativistic+ reactions and combat speed (Capable of dodging White Mages's specials, which are literal columns of light. Also reacted perfectly fine while racing around Saturn's rings. Since they can race along the E Ring, the furthest ring from Saturn, equating to a distance of 3-8 Saturn radii, and since Saturn's circumference is 227,350.77715498615708106457636117 miles [using its radius and converting it to circumference], then we multiply the result by 8x to get the furthest point of the E Ring. That is 1,818,806.2172398892566485166108894 miles. Since they cover the entire thing in 14 seconds, we divide the distance by the time, and that means they were going at exactly 129,914.7298028492326177511864921 miles per second. Light moves at 186,282 miles per second, so they were moving at roughly 0.69740744084975148098c, or around 70% of the speed of light, which makes them this speed) | Immeasurable (Bowser was traversing all of Dream Depot and wiping out each dream one by one--which are universes--casually, as evidenced by how he's talking about his plan and such, before destroying Dream Depot itself. Misstar then says "at this rate, he'll destroy the dream worlds one by one." She goes on to say that Wario must protect everyone's dreams. This means Bowser was casually moving at a rate that would allow him to destroy an uncountable set of uncountably infinite universes. Not only does Mario fight Bowser in this game, but during the story, he's actively chasing Bowser through Dream Depot, so Wario accomplished a toned down version of this feat. Even so, he still scales to the full thing for being a touch faster than Bowser) | Immeasurable (Scales to Mario and the Manga Kamen, whom of which is literally a 5-D being)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (Capable of lifting and throwing DinoMighty, who is larger than an adult elephant) | Class M (From page 18 to page 21 of the Super Mario 64 DS manual, it's shown that Wario is brawnier than Mario, Luigi and Yoshi. In the 3D Mario games, Mario could lift and toss King Bob-Omb with ease) | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Universal+, likely Multi-Universal | At least Multi-Universal, likely High Multiversal+ | Large Star Class | High Multiversal+, likely High Hyperversal. Higher w/ the Star Rod | High Multiversal+'
Durability: At least Universe level+, likely Multi-Universe level (Easily survived the destruction of Black Jewel's world, took hits from Rudy the Clown) | At least Multi-Universe level, likely High Multiverse level | Large Star level | High Multiverse level+, likely High Hyperverse level (Tanked hits from Bowser during the events of Mario Party 5) | High Multiverse level+ (Oftentimes demonstrated as a monstrous tank; once absorbed all the blows from Mario without even flinching)
