Axem Black, or simply known as Black, is a supporting antagonist in the popular 2006 flash animation series, Super Mario Bros. Z, originally created by Mark Haynes/Alvin Earthworm.

He is a member 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.

Black considers himself as the coolest of the group, and seems to be the "macho-man" as well, recalling he owes Mario a knuckle sandwich and called Red a "crazy fool" when he nearly blasted them with the Breaker Beam. He usually fights side-by-side with Axem Green, both wielding their signature axes.

Biography

Black, along with the other Axem Rangers X, are robots working for Smithy to help him take over the universe. However, upon being defeated by Mario, Smithy revived and upgraded them. The Axem Rangers X began searching the Mushroom Kingdom to find a power source that could restore Smithy's power. While doing so, they learned about a Chaos Emerald on Yoshi's Island.

In order to take the Chaos Emerald, Black and the other Axem Rangers X disguised themselves as Yoshis, before invading Yoshi's Island and enslaving most of the Yoshis, forcing them to dig up more Chaos Emeralds, only to find nothing. While doing so, Mario and his allies arrived and rescued the Yoshis, before taking the Chaos Emerald, only for it to be stolen by the Koopa Bros. However, the Axem Rangers X retrieved the Chaos Emerald, starting a fight between all three parties.

During this battle, Black worked with Green to defeat their enemies and used their own signature attack, in which they conjoin together to form an axe wheel to slice their foes. Some time later, the battle was interrupted by Turbo Mecha Sonic, who overpowered the Breaker Beam and destroyed Blade, taking the Chaos Emerald for himself in the process.

Red immediately demanded Mecha Sonic to return the Chaos Emerald, as well as hand over a second Chaos Emerald that was stolen from the Koopa Bros., but Mecha Sonic refused, and instead used his newfound Chaos Emeralds to transform into his Semi-Super form and fight them. Red commanded Yellow to destroy Mecha Sonic. Yellow was more than happy to oblige and charged at Mecha Sonic, striking the Sonic look-alike with his axe, only to be shocked that his axe had broken in two. When Mecha Sonic retaliates back, Black and Green try to defeat him with their axe wheel attack, but it can not surpass Mecha Sonic and Black gets brutally destroyed by getting split in half by the killer robot with Red's axe, being the penultimate Ranger destroyed by him. His death was later tried to avenge by his fellow Ranger Red, just to facing with the same brutal fate.

Trivia

• It is confirmed by Word of God that in the cancelled Smithy Saga, Black and the other Rangers would be planned to brought back to life by Smithy while creating a new member of the group, Axem Blue.
