Death Battle Analysis: Mickey Mouse

He's arguably the most famous cartoon character of All Time, he’s in the top 10 most often depicted characters in comics, he’s been an international pop culture icon for over 90 years, and now, he’s in VS. Jeez that was dramatic, but that’s only to convey how excited I am, I started work on this blog well over a year ago, researching all the games, comics and animation he’s ever appeared in, I even watched all of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse….Do You SEE what I do for you people! Would have been one thing if he did something like blow up a galaxy or something in it but No….Sorry Nevermind. Anyway now all that is finally coming to a head. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give ya, Mickey Mouse.

Background

Mickey Mouse was created in November of 1928, by famous cartoonist, Walt Disney, to be the Mascot for his new animation company, after losing his old Mascot, Oswald, to copyright issues. Generally as far as canon goes, Mickey, as well as his general crew of Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy etc, are aware they are cartoon characters and act somewhat as actors in every piece of official media they appear in. They also have private lives outside of this media, where in it Mickey and Minnie are actually married while most cartoons display them as merely dating.

This also means that compositing all the Mickey’s together IS in fact the correct thing to do as they are all the Same Mickey even though it’s rarely referenced it is in that media itself. Anyway Mickey and friends since their creation have been lovable cartoon characters who have been stirring up wacky antics for over 90 years.

Mickey, unlike most anthropomorphic cartoon characters of the time, acts basically the exact same as a human character would, only he happens to be a Mouse. While others are mostly animals that live in the wild but just happen to have human intelligence, Mickey generally lives in nice neighborhoods and cities, owns a pet dog named Pluto, has a lovely girlfriend named Minnie, works a variety of different jobs sometimes along his friends like Donald and Goofy, and occasionally saves the day from his arch nemesis Pete. Its partly because of this that Mickey is actually pretty relatable as a cartoon character, mostly dealing with somewhat familiar human problems. But other adventures have him being a sorcerer's apprentice to the powerful wizard Yen Sid, the King of all of Disney, or the savior of alternate cartoon dimensions.

But no matter what he’s up too, he’s always representing the dreams and ideals of the man who created him, even so many decades later.

Personality

Mickey is a clever, charismatic, and lovable cartoon hero who loves adventure, fun and being with his friends. Mickey’s main trait on top of all of this however is his rebellious nature, he loves to adventure, take some risks and break some rules all in the name of good fun, sometimes getting into trouble, but always getting out of it in the end. Generally speaking, Mickey is a cheerful optimist who's infectious upbeat attitude and selfless care for those around him can bring a smile to almost anyone's face and brighten their day. He is extremely friendly and caring and does whatever he can to help his friends, pet and girlfriend get through any little problem they are having. Mickey is also a hopeless romantic who is totally and completely in love with Minnie, who cutely loves him just as much. What is funny about this however is how he's only very romantically competent with Minnie and girls who are very similar to Minnie, as when he gives characters like Donald or Goofy romantic advice it always blows up in their face. But that doesn't stop Mickey, when faced with a problem or foe, Mickey can be quite determined, competitive, witty and even mischievous when dealing with them. He is scrappy, stubborn and refuses to take things lying down or give up easily. While these traits have allowed him to accomplish great things, the accomplishments this has yielded him, in addition to being super beloved both in and out of universe, have caused him to also grow somewhat of big headed, cocky and occasionally reckless. But he's still completely the Mickey everybody knows and loves on the outside.

Intelligence & Skills

Height: 2’3

Weight: 23 lbs

Age: 90 (Physically 25)

Naturally as a character who’s had over 90 years of experience, Mickey has picked up a vast amount of knowledge, skills and experiences to fill his resume. Mickey is a total genius in several different fields of science, including both chemistry and robotics. He was able to build an artificially intelligent boxing robot, numerous powerful boobytraps, and an advanced computer network. He created a dangerous chemical formula straight outta Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which makes the target grow immensely stronger and angrier for a short time and can even work on animals and machines. Mickey is not just adept in science however, but Magic as well. Mickey was trained as the apprentice to the godly powerful sorcerer Yen Sid to be a powerful wizard himself and thus has numerous different ways to use magic. Mickey is one of only a handful of being to earn the title of Keyblade Master, which not only required you to master magic to such a degree you are above wizards like Merlin, but also be a complete master of physical combat.

In fact Mickey being a master of physical combat is pretty well established, Mickey has trained in the military being a veteran of BOTH World Wars, has majored in physical culture which involved him mastering a Wide variety of martial arts and can pull off some pretty advanced techniques, including paralyzing someone's Entire Nerve Center with only a few simple moves. Additionally Mickey has a dexterous Tail that basically works as a 3rd arm. Mickey's MOST impressive attribute to his intellect however is his Jack of All Trades ability to quickly master whatever skill he needs. He can fluently speak numerous different languages including German, French, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Turkish and Korean, he has the names and dates of every disney produced piece of media ever made memorized better than those who appeared in it, And he can play literally every instrument known to man to a master degree. And if you just look at Mickey’s employment record, the little mouse’s resume includes, Steamboat operator, Rhea rider, Tango Dancer, Jockey, Pilot, Voice Mimicker, Locksmith, Train Conductor, Singer, Farmer, Lifeguard, Gunslinger, Samurai, Firefighting chief, Tapdancer, Taxi driver, Sailor, Radio show host, Grocery Store worker, Pro Football player, Construction Worker, Stage Actor, Mistral, Mail Man, Police Officer, Pro Polo Player, Ringleader, Tightrope walker, Chemist, Stage Magician, Ghost Buster, Tailor, Tugboat Captain, Moped delivery driver, Musketeer, Master of Ceremonies at the House of Mouse and Many MANY more.

Powers

• Storm Creation:

Mickey can generate and completely control giant storms and tornadoes powerful enough to destroy an entire park.

• Elasticity:

In true squash and stretch fashion Mickey can contort and expand his body in almost any conceivable way without damage. He can extend and retract his tail to use as a lasso, grappling hook or spring, and generally stretch himself around for general extensions.

• Shapeshifting:

The Elasticity can go even further as Mickey can literally morph his body to look like other beings, allowing him to both flawlessly disguise himself or take on more advantageous forms.

• Flight:

Mickey can also fly using the magic of Peter Pan Fairy Dust, also so I don't have to reuse this gif, he can survive in places devoid of oxygen.

• Matter Creation/Destruction:

Mickey can create matter out of thin air and remove it just as easily, he can make many complex objects and even organic life.

• Light & Darkness Manipulation:

Mickey as a Keyblade Master knows numerous different offensive spells, his bread and butter are light and darkness magic which he can fire as projectiles and control, but he also can manipulate energy and numerous different elements.

• Form Manipulation:

Mickey can change and alter the forms of all types of non malleable creatures and objects with almost no limitation. Some such things he can do with this ability include, making barn animals into music players and instruments, extending a horse's neck to shorten its tail, turning a car into a plane and many more. And these things can't turn back of their own accord.

• Healing:

Mickey also knows a large array of different healing spells that can cure himself and others of all ailments even if they are on death's door.

• Mental Projection:

Mickey can bring things he imagines, including hallucinations and dreams, into reality as well as take them back into his mind. These things are invisible and inaudible to all but Mickey. They are capable of sentience and independent decision making if Mickey so chooses, and while normally intangible they can touch and interact with objects and people if they or Mickey wish.

• Gravity And Magnetic Manipulation:

Mickey is able to manipulate Gravity and Magnetism in numerous different ways ranging from creating fields, altering charge and weight and basically using it like telekinesis. Also in true classic toonforce fashion, Mickey can stand and move on thin air as long as he does not look down.

• Animacy Granting:

Mickey can bring inanimate objects to life through song, dance and even just physical contact, including whole buildings and everything inside.

• Regeneration:

Mickey can remove and reattach pieces of his body without negative repercussion. He can survive with his brain removed, having all his limbs and head ripped off, being reduced to a skeleton or smashed into literal liquid paste. This would overall be considered a High-Mid Healing Factor

• Extra Sensory:

Mickey can track the trail of others based off the light in their heart. This ability works even in the Realm of darkness, where light is naturally much weaker.

• Anti-Logia Hax:

Mickey can interact with liquids, gasses and energies as if they were solids. He can grab and lift water, cut fire with scissors, and physically fight a tornado. Furthermore, his nephews can touch smoke and fire, using the former as footholds, and fighting off the latter.

• Force Fields:

Pretty Self Explanatory, he can make fields of energy that surround his body and block hits.

• Super Breath:

Can generate hurricane winds by breathing. He also seems to be able to do this internally to create some form of heat generation.

• Astral Projection:

Mickey can project his soul outside his body to travel across the world or even to magical alternate realities by going through mirrors while his body remains where he left it. Mickey’s astral form is intangible in his own reality, however he it can interact with things if he chooses to, though in other realities it is always tangible.

• Agelessness:

Mickey is timeless, as long as he and his friends continue to bring joy and laughter to the world they don’t age physically, this gives Mickey high end resistance to aging hax.

• Time Manipulation:

Fitting with his agelessness, one of Mickey’s most powerful and iconic abilities is his power to manipulate time. He is able to create large time fields where time is stopped, freezing his enemies yet leaving himself and allies unaffected. He also can MAYBE time travel?...KH can be confusing ok…..

• Transmutation:

Mickey possesses the natural ability to turn large numbers of characters and objects into other objects, states of matter and even living creatures. This completely ignores durability and counts as an instant kill for anything creature turns into an object.

• Self Duplication:

Mickey can casually generate over 100 clones to aid him in battle, these duplicates of himself are equal to him in every way. He also seems to be able to reabsorb them back into himself.

• Size Manipulation:

Mickey Can compact and otherwise alter the size of objects and foes at will.

• Teleportation:

Mickey also has the ability to teleport around  using his magic as a Keyblade Master.

• Dimensional Travel:

Mickey can literally exit the reality of his cartoons into the real world or other planes of existence.

• Reality Warping:

Mickey upon entering another plane is able to manipulate Time, Space and Reality in his own plane on a legitimately universal scale.

• Metafictional Manipulation:

An all around useful hax Mickey often uses, this power can mess with reality in all sorts of ways specifically by playing with the fact it is a cartoon. The power can change density, create matter from thought, manipulate gravity, manipulate space and much more.

He can even pause his own universe and give himself advice from the higher plane.

Weaponry & Equipment

• Normal Weapons:

Ha. In all seriousness folks, Mickey has and used a lot of relatively normal weapons over the years and is quite skilled with all of them so I figured I’d list them all here and we can get to the more impressive stuff after. Mickey has numerous different types of guns ranging from revolvers, shotguns, rifles, machine guns and even cannons, all of which he is an expert marksman with. He also has used multiple types of swords, most notable are the rapier that he used during his days as a musketeer and The Enchanted Sword of Prince Charming. His other normal weapons include a Lasso and a Boomerang.

• The Sorcerer Hat:

The Sorcerer Hat is a powerful magic artifact owned by the wizard Yen Sid, which Mickey eventually inherited for himself after mastering the magic necessary to use it. The hat is the source for a large amount of the magic used by characters in the Mickey Mouse canon. The Sorcerer Hat is said to grant the wearer unlimited magical power, and boy oh boy can it do some crazy things. Some of it’s notable abilities include:

• Telekinesis: Wearers of the Hat can mentally move objects with such amount and precision it can cause an entire orchestra to play, and with such power it could cause stars to fly across the night sky and crash into each other with enough force to make explosions similar to a firework, when this was initially seen in Fantasia it was a dream, but the feat has actually been replicated by wearers of the hat outside of dreams afterwords.
• Hydrokinesis: The hat can also control the tides, make tidal waves, manipulate and displace away large bodies of water and otherwise control water itself.
• Aerokinesis: It can also manipulate clouds into intricate shapes and create city sized storms with ease.
• Animacy Granting: One of the most famous powers of the hat, it can grant object's life and make them sprout limbs and perform tasks. Even more impressive, if you cut said object to pieces, all the pieces will reform into objects of equal size to the original, making this actually much better than Mickey’s own Animacy Granting.
• Dimensional Portals: The hat can create large dimensional rifts that allowed Donald to travel to 6 different Disney franchises.
• Levitation: Pretty self explanatory, the Hat can levitate itself, the wearer and other objects.
• Pyrokinesis: Like seemingly all Magic macguffins in fiction, the hat can generate powerful fireballs.
• Magic Absorption and Redirection: This honestly is one of the hats best traits and allowed Mickey to beat powerful wizards like Jafar pretty effortlessly, absorbing their magical attacks and using it against them.
• Matter Creation: The hat can also create matter out of thin air.
• Time Reversal: The hat can reverse the flow of time for several objects in an immediate area, which is even capable of repairing damages and such.
• Size Manipulation: Can drastically increase or decrease the size of objects.
• Summons: Lastly, it can Summon things to its aid, most notably the wearer’s own flying carpet.

• Magic Wand:

This wand uses magic to do many impressive things such as matter creation, levitating objects and summoning elemental attacks. The wand has a mind of its own and can transform itself into all sorts of things to defend itself and even repair itself after being broken to pieces.

• Metamorphosis Ring:

This tricky device can serve as both a portal to travel to other random areas and can be used to transmutate anyone who passes through it into a random animal.

• Cupid’s Magic Crossbow:

Whoever is hit with one of these arrows will fall madly in love with the first person they see.

• Flare Gun:

Fires flying magical energy similar to a firework, which can either hit or pass through solid objects, the gun itself also has unlimited ammo.

• Spring Pan Flute:

Controls Nature itself, and can change the seasons with its music.

• Yen Sid’s Brush:

Yen Sid’s brush is an extremely powerful haxy weapon capable of manipulating cartoons themselves due to its use of both paint and thinner that exist on a higher plane. With its Paint it created an entire dimension for cartoons forgotten to time. It can also use this paint as a projectile, it can restore things even that have been erased from existence and can boost the essence of things, brighter sun, wetter water, stronger wind the works. Paint can also alter beings on the metafictional level, literally retcon-ing them to be anything else the user wants even if its completely different from what it once was. More deadly however is its Thinner. Thinner can completely erase cartoon objects and characters from existence in every conceivable way, think of it like Doom Dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, And naturally it can fire this as well.

• TV Sketch:

Creates a Television that mesmerizes foes in the nearby area, briefly putting them into a distracted trance.

• Watch Sketch:

This Watch summon slows time around Mickey to a crawl giving him a large speed advantage.

• Anvil Sketch:

Summons a gigantic Anvil to crush foes into oblivion and to be used as a platform.

• Fairy Sketch:

This last sketch makes people and objects it is cast on lighter than air, helplessly levitating off the ground.

• Kingdom Key W:

The Kingdom Key W is Mickey’s current and most powerful Keyblade, which Yen Sid created for him by fusing together the two Keyblades Mickey previously used, Kingdom Key D and Star Seeker. As such it has all the handy powers and abilities of both combined. Like all Keyblades, it is able to slash and stab like a normal sword...somehow, and can fire beams that unlock portals to other dimensions. Through this it has both spatial manipulation and sealing abilities, two extremely dangerous hax that can allow one to beat foes regardless of their durability due to either spatially separating them or locking them in another dimension. Mickey can summon this weapon out of thin air and control its actions through thought as he is a Keyblade Master. The Keyblade also acts as a conduit for his Magic Powers.

Feats

Strength:

• Fought toe to toe with a 30 foot tall frankenstein version of Pete.
• Lifted a Horse.
• Physically shook a 3 story building.

• Defeated Goofy in a dual, Goofy is so powerful that he withstood the force of a leaf blower which pushed the sun right out of the sky. Later on he also has feats such as physically pulling all the clouds out of the sky, becoming a star and shattering the sun himself.

• Mickey has also grabbed and pulled the sun right out of the sky.

• Created a shockwave that launched all the surrounding buildings several dozen feet in the air.

• Mickey is also one of the most powerful characters within the Kingdom Hearts series, and thus scales past numerous of the series’ most impressive feats.

The most notable feat he scales past is from Zeus, who casually moved a collection of 614 stars at MFTL speeds to form a constellation of the three title characters. Since there is no way to measure the Kinetic energy of objects traveling faster than light, we must rely on the Gravitational Binding Energy, which must have been overcame to move these at all. Assuming all these stars are the same size as our sun, this feat would yield 100,860 Tenatons of TNT, which is more than enough to obliterate the Sun, and nearly 3 times as powerful as a supernova.

• Jumped the height of buildings.

Ventus is so fast he was capable of moving in tandem with Stitch’s spacecraft in hyperdrive, which traveled to Earth in a timeframe of 130 seconds. Using the lowballed assumption that this was simply in another solar system this feat would be worth over 220,394 times the speed of light, but if you consider it was far more likely in another galaxy this would be worth over 614 Billion times light.

Riku and Sora on the other hand were able to block hundreds of light attacks attacking them from every angle at once.

• Constructed a helicopter in seconds.

• Ran to the store in a blur, bought over 8 different types of cookies and returned in 10 seconds.

Recommended Opponents:

Bugs Bunny:

I mean come on, Who Else Was It Going To Be? Anyway what I like about Mickey VS Bugs is not only is it arguably being THE greatest rivalry of All time, both being the world's most famous cartoon characters, and classic mascots for the two biggest entertainment companies on earth who seem to have an equivalent for everything as they fiercely compete, But despite everything I have said about Mickey, this fight is still INCREDIBLY Close with Bug’s feats and arsenal being just as wacky and nuts, this really would be a battle of legends.

Next Time
