Axem Black
First appearance	Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996)

“We live for disorder!”

—Axem Black, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Axem Black is one of the five Axem Rangers and a member of the Smithy Gang who appears in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Like all of the other Axem Rangers, he fights with a small axe. Additionally, Axem Black commonly utilizes bombs in combat and, due to his high speed, can attack twice in one turn or occasionally three times, like Geno.

After an Axem Ranger is defeated by Mario and his allies, they give an excuse for not being able to fight anymore. Axem Black's excuse is: "I broke my shades!" Axem Red's reply is: "Serves you right!"

Like the other members, Axem Black is later encountered as a mass-produced Machine Made clone in the Factory. Unlike the others', his clone is identical due to already being monochrome. Despite being modeled after Axem Black, he apparently wasn't actually a member of the Machine Made Axem Rangers yet, as can be implied by his Psychopath quote. He is also the only Machine Made Axem copy whose psychopath quote didn't reference either their excuses for quitting or, in the case of Red, their pre-battle introduction.
