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.
- Can fight totally on par with Pete.
- Defeated a Gorilla.
- Physically fought on par with Phantom Blot, The
very same Phantom Blot who stole all the disney villains, tanked nukes, stole

- Defeated a whole pirate crew including Pete.
- Lifted a house sized trailer.
- Took down a Giant the size of a skyscraper that
creates earthquakes and tidal waves while walking.
- Defeated 3 different Giants.
- Easily scales past Minnie who shattered the moon.
- Scales past Clarabelle, who Also shattered the
moon.
- Scaled to Donald, who spat a ball so hard it
impaled right through Chernabog, pulled an entire sailboat under water and beat
the shit outta a shark.
- 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.
- Overpowered and rode a Lion.
- Jumped the height of buildings.
Speed:
- Can easily keep pace with Pluto, who casually
ran through the entire solar system in seconds multiple times in rapid
succession. This includes running from Neptune to The Sun in only a single second,

- Scales to Donald, and Donald doge and react to comets and run across water.
- In The Kingdom Hearts Series, Mickey can outpace numerous impressive characters, including the likes of Ventus, Sora and Riku.
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.

from Hercules. That Same Hercules is stated by Hades to have lifted
the Sun.

crushed.
- Tanked a gas explosion that obliterated a house.

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.
This may arguably be your best analysis blog yet Thor! Just the fact you went through all this media is impressive by itself. You would think a compilation of everything Mickey has ever done would be, well, a mess, but you did a great job of organizing his abilities into categories and summarized everything really well. The music choices were also pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job in representing the Kingdom Hearts parts of his analysis, with how confusing that series can get (but oh boy, did that series bump up Mickey's speed more than I expected, good grief). Mickey really has proved himself to be quite powerful and a lot for Bugs Bunny to contend with.
The backstory and personality sections really felt like a sweet tribute to the character as well. It is very inspiring that the dreams of one man can live on for so many years and Mickey is the perfect representation of that.
Just a really solid blog that I'm glad to have read. Rooting for Ashley for the next time.
As someone who made a blog on a character with a lot of material.......jeez even I couldn't imagine doing a character with THIS much. Amazing job Thor, the sheer scope and ambition of this blog would be impressive enough all on it's own, even if the execution was bad. Needless to say however, your execution gives it all the honor it deserves for such a well known character of such a long timespan, honestly probably the most well known character globally ever.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job balancing all the different stuff, the text to visuals ratio as well as the ratio of cartoons, comics and video games. As someone who basically only knew Mickey from the video games I was certainly shocked at how expansive his arsenal was, though as you sort of commented to me, it's what happens after 90 years.
To say that I am impressed would be an understatement, I am blown away at the commitment and passion the blog was clearly made with, and how well you capture such an iconic character with so many disparate roles in so many universes in such a beautifully unified way.
Similarly, got to say, I was surprised as the consistency. In terms of raw power did not expect so many of his biggest feats to all be roughly in the same stellar range. That was quite impressive!
A match between him and Bugs Bunny would no doubt be one of the most interesting matchups for DB to do, though sadly it doesn't seem like they're ever going to. Nonetheless absolutely amazing job with Mickey's feats.
About the next time....MAGICKA!!! MAGICKA!!!....I'm a little excited for Lok and Magicka. :)
M-I-C-K-E-Y okay I'll stop there :P Take a bow dude! You just made a blog on Mickey Mouse! MICKEY MOUSE! I'm surprised it only took you *one* year; something like this could easily take two I'd imagine. First off, love the scoring in this blog. The first track especially worked well in introducing the blog. And excellent use of gifs in here! There were a ton and it made the big blog a lot easier on the eyes than just a bunch of text.
ReplyDeleteThere is some truly crazy hax in here but one thing stood out above all others to me: that brush. That magical wizard's brush! That's gotta be from those painting-themed video games, yeah? Maybe I should check those out. Besides all the crazy things that brush can do, it also seems like a super strong weapon against any toon Mickey fights and surprise surprise, his most requested matchup seems to be against a fellow famous cartoon character. Mickey vs Bugs, now that's truly one for the ages. Since you're THE cartoon guy, I wonder if we'll get to see you tackle that fight some day? I know you'd knock it out of the park!
Thanks for making this blog, I've actually been waiting a long time for someone to tackle this character and I'm glad that someone was you. I'm continuously blown away by the stuff cartoon characters do (cutting flames with scissors, seriously?!). I figured Mickey'd be busting galaxies at the very least but was surprised to see him at star level. Then again, with that speed and hax, he could handle pretty much anything.
As for next time, another fight already? Awesome! I know almost nothing about either of these characters, so I guess I'm gonna be learning a lot! Looking forward to it dude, godspeed.
