Biography[]
Past[]
There is a lot of mystery surrounded in Bison's past, however an often believed story is that when he was young, he killed his own parents for unknown reasons. He was eventually found and raised by a tribe of nomadic Gypsies. The Gypsies' leader took Bison under her wing and trained him in the art of Soul Power. Her decision, while noble, resulted in many years of suffering.
Shortly after he mastered Soul Power, Bison found a much stronger version of Soul Power known as Psycho Power. But in order to master this power, Bison had to expel all goodness and humanity in him, which formed into a woman named Rose, his pupil and fellow student of a same master, who then became one of his nemesis. After gaining the Psycho Power, M. Bison killed his master in front of Rose.
Shortly after this, Bison created the organization Shadaloo to continue to seek out sources of power and through his research, was able to create the Psycho Drive, a device that could absorb life energy and convert into the energy known as Psycho Power.
Street Fighter Alpha 2[]

Eventually, Bison learned of a martial artist named Ryu after he defeated his minion Sagat. Deciding to recruit him, Bison began searching for him, eventually being confronted by Rose, whose powers were similar in nature to his.
She fought Bison, who lost, but apparently threw the fight purposely. Later, he ran into Chun Li, who demanded that he tell her what had happened to her father.
They fought with Bison toying with her, before finally taking her down, and he withdrew, revealing that he had killed her father. Eventually, Bison found Ryu and tried to convince him to join his organization, saying that he would make him the greatest fighter ever. However, Ryu refused his offer and fought him, but Bison defeated him, bringing him to his scientists to be brainwashed. (Note: This ending is not considered canon.)
Street Fighter Alpha 3[]
As time went by, the Psycho Power that Bison wielded had begun to overwhelm his body. Having foreseen this, he ordered his scientists to create a new body he could transfer his essence into. They genetically engineered a girl named Cammy White using Bison's DNA and he made her a part of his Dolls Project, a group of brainwashed young women, all of them kidnapped as little girls, who served as Bison's assassins. However, Cammy eventually developed a mind of her own and turned on Shadaloo.
Bison sent Vega and then Juli, another of his Dolls, to retrieve her. When both failed, Bison began thinking about alternatives and settled on Ryu. He sent another Doll, Juni, to gather information on the martial artist and eventually tried to draw him out by capturing his friend, Ken.
Bison fighting Ryu.
Bison brainwashed Ken and forced him to fight Ryu, who managed to free his friend of Bison's control. The martial artist engaged Bison himself, but lost and was brainwashed himself. Sagat observed and objected to this, but Bison just pointed out that he could now have his rematch against Ryu.
As Sagat fought Ryu, he urged him to snap out of it, and when Ken and Sakura engaged Bison, Ryu freed himself. He fought Bison again, and Bison was about to win, but suddenly, a strange connection formed between his Psycho Power and Ryu's Satsui no Hado. Bison realized their energies were alike and tried to put Ryu under his control again, but with his friends' support, he was able to resist Bison, taking him down with a powerful Hadoken. Bison retreated to the Psycho Drive to restore himself.
Bison revealing the truth to Cammy.
Meanwhile, Cammy turned the other Dolls against Bison, who appeared to confront them, deciding that they were now useless to him. They fought him, but Bison revealed that thanks to a psychic link between himself and the Dolls, they would perish if he did.
Bison's destruction.
They defeated him, but their minds began to deteriorate as a result. However, Cammy used her genetic similarities to Bison to control the Psycho Drive and break the connection between the Dolls and Bison. Meanwhile, Charlie and Guile, US Air Force members who had set out to stop Bison, were joined by Chun-Li and rigged explosives throughout the Shadaloo base. Charlie fought a revived Bison to keep him busy while Guile and Chun-Li escaped, apparently sacrificing his life as the explosives went off. However, Bison's soul lived on and managed to possess Rose. He remained in Rose's body while his scientists worked on making a new body for him.
Street Fighter II[]

Bison eventually managed to be put into a new body, though his powers were significantly weaker than before. He held a second World Warrior tournament so as to have revenge on those who had opposed him before, especially Ryu. However, as Bison was about to fight in the final match, Akuma showed up and used his Shun Goku Satsu on him, destroying him and fighting the other finalist himself.
Street Fighter IV[]
Bison in Street Fighter IV.
| “ | Hmpf... Fifteen. You are merely a gear in the machine that is my ultimate ambition. I was willing to leave you to your own devices as long as I had a use for you. But I never imagined you would go this far... And that vile woman. To think you managed to add such a valuable pawn to your arsenal... I have little patience for betrayal. I will crush you under the heel of my boot like the vile insect you are. Hah hah ha ha... You will regret the day you decided to betray me! The marionette who thinks he is a real boy - you have forgotten your place! | „ |
| ~ M. Bison in his Super Street Fighter IV prologue. |
Prior to his encounter with Akuma, Bison had ordered his scientists in S.I.N., Shadaloo's weapons division, to create a number of androids. #15 demonstrated higher intelligence than the others, eventually becoming the new head of S.I.N.
On another occasion, Bison had a Korean official and his family murdered with the exception of his daughter, Juri Han. #15 had her cybernetically enhanced, thinking she could be useful. After Bison's destruction at Akuma's hands, #15 renamed himself "Seth" and began an attempt to take over the world, announcing a new World Warrior tournament. However, Juri planned to pit Bison and Seth against each other, so as to avenge her parents.
Bison took the bait and had his soul placed in another body, which was again not as strong as his first one. His scientists tried to discourage this course of action, since they reasoned that with enough time, they could build a body capable of holding the Psycho Power completely. However, Bison said he had not realized how far Seth would go and that he would inhabit a body eventually anyways. He entered the tournament, easily making it through the qualifying rounds and eventually confronted Seth.
Bison fighting Seth.
Bison engaged him, saying that the loss of his mindless loyalty had made him useless, and Seth protested that he'd helped rebuild Bison's empire. However, Bison revealed that everything that happened had all been a part of his own plan, defeating Seth.
Juri showed up, her plan to have the two destroy each other having failed, and threatened Bison, but he was unconcerned.
The two fought, but the result of their fight is unclear. Later, Bison came across Abel fighting an android that had begun to show signs of becoming self-aware like Seth. Bison destroyed it and said that Abel had grown after their last meeting, but the details of this meeting are unknown, though the implication was that Abel was part of the experiments that created the androids. As Bison left the S.I.N. facility, he came across Rose, saying that she owed him. He took her down, saying he was going to collect with interest and brought her with him to his jet. However, Guy was waiting for Bison and threatened to destroy the jet if he didn't let Rose go. He did as Guy asked and departed, apparently in a hurry.
Finally, he appears in front of Cammy and her sister Decapre, telling her that she would never be a coincidence if Decapre dies, as a result of a dead man's switch from having gotten free of Bison's mind control. Ater Cammy is comforted by her sister, Bison takes Cammy's sister away with him back to her stasis pod.
Street Fighter V[]
Some time later, Bison started his new project to achieve global domination. He also killed United States Air Force Captain Charlie Nash when he tried to capture him and also recruited F.A.N.G, leader of the criminal organization Nguuhao, as his new second-in-command.
Bison's plan was called "Operation C.H.A.I.N.S" and consisted on the creation of seven satellites known as the Black Moons, which were capable of emitting electromagnetic pulses all around the world. The ensuing chaos would then increase Bison's Psycho Power to the point of making him unstoppable. However, one of the Shadaloo programmers working on the project stole the devices needed to activate the satellites and sent them to various fighters across the world, so Bison stopped the operation and sent his generals to retrieve them.
F.A.N.G recovered one of the pieces and used it to destroy a city in North America. Bison went there to check on the effect of the Black Moons and witnessed F.A.N.G arguing with Vega and Balrog over their ranks, only to be interrupted by Guile and Chun-Li. Chun-Li attacked Bison but got quickly defeated thanks to his Psycho Power having been boosted by the fear caused by the city's destruction. Before Bison could finish her off, Cammy appeared and saved her, and they ran away.
Back at the Shadaloo HQ, Bison was confronted by a revived Charlie Nash, who had been resurrected by the Illuminati Secret Society, but defeated him. They were both then confronted by the mysterious fighter Necalli, who wanted to consume Bison's soul. While the dictator overwhelmed Necalli with his Psycho Power and defeated him, Nash managed to escape but came back later with his allies. However, at that moment Bison was seemingly invincible due to the Black Moons having caused worldwide panic, further boosting his Psycho Power. Nash managed to absorb a huge amount of Psycho Power from Bison's attacks before dying while Rashid stopped the Moons, weakening the dictator. Ryu then showed up to stop Bison once and for all after also defeating Necalli.
Bison taunted Ryu about the Satsui no Hado, which he used along with the Power of Nothingness to beat Necalli. Ryu remained calm, saying it is a power to push forward and not to defeat. Bison ignored that, saying that power is just power, the searching of it leading to conflict leading to the ultimate battle. Bison and Ryu then started their final fight and the dictator was nearly killed but still stood confident enough to perform a Psycho Inferno that ended up countered by Ryu's Hadoken. Finally consumed by the Power of Nothingness, Bison laughed as he faded away. His base crumbled into the ground soon after, his hat being the only thing that remained from Bison.
After that, a specter that carries his will, Phantom Bison haunted people supposed to be his body replacements, such as Ed and Falke. The phantom his time until he gets a new body.
Street Fighter 6[]
| “ | Bison, Vega, Shadaloo, Lord... Call me whatever you please. | „ |
| ~ M. Bison to his scientist Dr. Badd in Street Fighter 6. |
It is revealed that M. Bison survives his last encounter against Ryu, but the Mu no Ken effect that left him his scar on his upper right half cause him to suffer an amnesia, barring his violent intent which was left of his remain. An amnesiac M. Bison was found falling into coma at Metro City, and naked for years that cause him to be absent in Street Fighter III event. He later wakes up in a present, when three group of thugs (appears to be members of the city's formerly renowned criminal gang Mad Gear) found him at the alley. The amnesiac M. Bison, then attack the thugs and took their pants and shoes. He is then guided by a weakening Psycho Power to find the trace of his lost memories. After encountering Juri, who remind him who his past life was when he was a dictator M. Bison, an amnesiac M. Bison is interested to retake his name as the means to recover his lost memories. He then went into hiding at Nayshall, where he rescued his newfound horse stead, Rosinante from near-death by implementing him with Psycho Power.
The Shadaloo remnants who are loyal to M. Bison were revealed to have been working on find a way to resurrect M. Bison, until F.A.N.G send the player Avatar to discover what the remnants are planning behind his back, and ultimately led the Avatar to finally find amnesiac's M. Bison's whereabout. After the Avatar battled a Shadaloo test subject in the Ruined Lab, it caused the machinery in the lab and the chair with Bison's cap to activate, unleashing Psycho Power and past memories of M. Bison to create the face of Phantom Bison. It draws an amnesiac M. Bison's attention, who then absorbs Phantom Bison into his body to become whole once more, and ultimately leads to the Avatar becoming his disciple.
Bison speculated that the reason why he survived the battle with Ryu is possibly because his soul has been transformed into one of his backup bodies somewhere in the world, and considers the possibility that there might be another "Bison" roaming around somewhere in the world. Though he admits that the Shadaloo he once knew may have gone, Bison is still adamant about his world domination goals, and believes that he will attract more "subordinates" by himself eventually to fulfill his goal.
Following his return to lead the Shadaloo remnants, while still incomplete because of his amnesia, the Avatar seeks the fighters who last encountered Bison back in "A Shadow Falls", namely Ryu, Ken, Guile, Juri, Cammy and Chun-Li, to learn more about who Bison was.
Street Fighter X Tekken[]
Bison and Juri as a team.
As the meteor containing Pandora fell to Earth, Bison learned that one of Shadaloo's satellites had tried using the Psycho Power on it, only to be rejected. Determined to possess the power the box held, Bison set out after it personally, so as to prevent anyone else from obtaining it.
He teamed up with Juri, who remarkably had no qualms with working with the man who had killed her family. Together, Bison and Juri defeated the other fighters seeking Pandora and finally reached it. However, before the two could open Pandora, they encountered one more fighter, Ancient Ogre. Both M. Bison and Juri had to work together in order to defeat Ogre.
Bison engaging Juri.
As the box opened, Bison reached out to claim its power, but Juri turned on and attacked him. However, he teleported away and called her a predictable fool, saying he'd anticipated her treachery from the beginning as Pandora transformed him. As Juri was transformed as well, she said she never planned to share the box's power with him and Bison said all who defied him would meet their end. Juri replied she was just warming up and the two threw themselves at one another.

Personality[]
| “ | You have been quite entertaining. As a reward, I will grant you death. | „ |
| ~ M. Bison. |
Bison is a stereotypical "card-carrying villain", in that he is calculating, manipulative, intelligent, ruthless, and cruel, having given up all goodness within him to master the Psycho Power. He is driven purely by his own desire for power and has no problem with destroying anyone who might hinder his plans. Bison wants complete and utter control of the world's governments and to be viewed as the most powerful fighter around. To this end, he has even cheated death on more than one occasion. He takes great pride in being evil, and will often gloat about this. Some versions, such as his animated series counterpart, even brags about killing his own parents while downplaying what he did to Chun-Li.
Bison demands complete loyalty from his minions, but views them as nothing more than pawns, tolerating them only as long as they are extremely serviceable and useful to him and quickly disposing of them when they are not. Bison often uses force and brainwashing to bring fighters to his side and views those he harms in the wake of his plans as insignificant and not worth letting live. That said, even though several of them did betray him, he is sometimes willing to welcome them back. Thus, one could assume that he treats his minions based on how much he values them.
Bison is also extremely pompous, arrogant, vindictive, Megalomaniac and narcissistic, even likening himself to a god, and considers himself a superior fighter for his mastery of the Psycho Power. However, he has been proven extremely wrong on several occasions, but refuses to accept the fact that he is vulnerable. His ego rivals that of of his assassin Vega's. Unlike Vega, however, Bison is better at hiding it, since he sometimes avoids confrontations with those more powerful than himself and usually has more control over his temper.
Though he is a violent, heartless, and prejudicial killer, he does not always kill his opponents; several of his win quotes involve him simply ordering his defeated opponent to "get out of [his] sight", suggesting that he does not see them as worthy of dying by his hand, a demonstration of his narcissism. Other times, he will offer to spare their lives if they swear allegiance to him, indicating that, despite his arrogance, he is not above being impressed by the skills of other fighters and admitting it. That said, there is no indication that he has ever spared someone out of compassion.
All and all, Bison is one of the evilest villains in video game history - some incarnations of Street Fighter depict him as very close to (if not entirely into). the real-life clinical diagnosis of a psychopathic monster. His ruthless nature, the fact that he gave up his soul for power, and his lack of any heroic traits make him the most sadistic fighter in the series. Even in his more "noble" portrayals, he stands out as a cruel human being who would do anything for power. This makes him the most opposed character in the series with even Akuma feeling nothing but absolute contempt for him.
Powers and Abilities[]
| “ | Get lost, you can't compare with my powers! | „ |
| ~ M.Bison |
Bison using his Psycho Crusher.
Bison is one of the strongest and most capable fighters in the entire series. With just a tiny fraction of his strength, he can level cities in mere seconds, and even defeat the likes of Akuma with almost no effort at all. He has defeated many of the series' strongest fighters, even taking on multiple opponents at once. He has mastered the Psycho Power, a dark, negative energy and can harness it to use a variety of attacks.
Bison using the Psycho Punisher.
Bison's techniques include the Psycho Crusher, where he surrounds himself with energy as he flies, spinning at the opponent, the Bison Warp, where he glows with energy and teleport.
The Psycho Cannon, a ball of energy that he throws at his opponent, and the Psycho Punisher, where he gathers energy into his hand, then drives his hand into his enemy's chest and fires the energy through them.
M. Bison also has another form known as Final Bison. In this form, M. Bison increased his Psycho Power significantly. All of his attacks deal a large amount of damage to his opponent, though there's a cost; his body will eventually get mutilated by his own power. However, if his body gets destroyed but his soul survives, Bison can transfer his soul into another body to live on.
Bison is a deadly combination of unparalleled strength, as well insurmountable intellect. He knows bend people top his will, with just about every character in the series serving as is unwitting pawn for his grand plan. Even the most pure of heart kneel before him and follow him unconditionally. His evil organization, Shadaloo, has been immensely thriving thanks to M. Bison's cunning and leadership.
However, he has his limits, and has been defeated several times in the past. His Psycho Power can eventually destroy his body, and his search for a new one in Alpha 3 ultimately led to his temporary defeat. Also, while he is for the most part a cunning schemer, there are times where he has let his arrogance get the best of him.
However, it is almost impossible to truly finish Bison, due to his ability to possess other bodies with his soul. When Akuma had "killed" Bison in Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Bison quickly possessed Rose, and stayed in her body until in Street Fighter 4 when his scientists created a new body for him. Bison's soul quickly possessed the new body and is still in control of it today.
For his incarnation in 1994 film, Bison's infamous Psycho Power was replaced with life-support computer systems with an electromagnetism device that augmented on his body. In spite of this, Bison himself is still a dangerous and deadly opponent in his own right, as he can levitate, fires electrical blasts from his arms, and would technically remain immortal as long as his life-support computer system remained intact. At the same time, it is clear that he is nowhere as powerful as he is in canon.

- Double Knee Press: M. Bison performs a forward somersault with his legs outstretched, kicking the opponent up to twice and aiming to land on the opponent's knees.

- Electric Arc: Bison unleashes electricity from his hands forwards toward the ground, electrifying it and fries any opponent standing on that area who is not blocking.

- Ultimate Psycho Crusher: More Powerful Psycho Crusher.

- Psycho Inferno: Bison raises his hands, causing a pillar of Psycho Power to erupt from the ground in front of him.

- Psycho Reflect: Uses Psycho Power to reflect single attacks and other projectiles.
- Psycho Vanish: Bison engulfs his hand in Psycho Power and performs an overhead "slash" or punch that hits 3-5 times and knocks the opponent down.
