YThis is a fan-made Death Battle of Darkiplier from the Youtube channel, "Markiplier," vs The Observer from the Slenderverse series, "TribeTwelve."
Beginning[]
Wiz: Darkness...it corrupts even the trusted. And it shows with these two.
Boomstick: Darkiplier, the reality bending alter-ego.
Wiz: And the Observer, the leader of the proxies.
Boomstick: He's Wiz, and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skill to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE.
Darkiplier[]
Wiz: A friendly YouTube channel was made in 2012, Mark Fischbach created the channel "Markiplier," a Let's Play channel where he mostly plays video games. But sometimes...it'd get weird. You see...the Mark in Markiplier isn't really Mark....rather Dark....
Boomstick: Yeah, turns out Mark was hiding this guy for a while then he started showing up in his projects. And, he's WAY more powerful than you think. He's got all kinds of powers, and we'll go over them.
- Reality Manipulation
- Infinite Creation
- Fourth Wall Awareness
- Magic of all Kinds (Death, Life, Electricity, Fire, etc.)
- Space and Time Manipulation
This is all we know about his powers so far, but he doesn’t just stop there. Apparently, he is actually a separate entity from Mark and can basically control Mark at will. Making him do all sorts of things.
FLAWS
- Overly Cocky
- Really frustrated at times
- Luck is usually against him
- No Self-Control
But if we put these flaws aside, Darkiplier is one of the scariest and most threatening internet personas around. Like previously mentioned, his reality bending powers and awareness to the viewer is already amazing as is, but he has more.
Wiz: Manipulation is one of Darkiplier’s strongest attributes. He can throw the viewer off with his trust and think he is one to be trusted, when really he isn’t. He gets really angry when not trusted by people, which is more of a flaw than a feat.
Boomstick: Apparently he can survive an attack that’s the power of a NUKE. A normal person couldn’t even survive that after a nano-second.
Wiz: Right, Boomstick, Darkiplier is a very durable opponent…..but….at the same time...he isn’t. He once died to a bullet.
Boomstick: Are you fucking kidding me? This reality bending time/space warping guy survives a nuke but not a gunshot? How even does that work?
Wiz: It’s just like Dark himself...we don’t know. Despite this, he has amazing feats to consider
FEATS
- Killed the Nurse from Surgeon Simulator
- Tears Reality apart just from being present
- Tanked a nuke-esque attack
- Forced time and space to do his bidding
Now all of this is impressive, don’t get us wrong. But there’s one feat that stands above all of them. Apparently, according to my calculations, he once killed the SLENDER MAN.
Boomstick: How do you even do that normally?
Wiz: According to Slender Man Mythos, the only way to really “kill” Slender Man is by removing all evidence of his existence and removing all memories of his existence.
Boomstick: So I guess Dark has mind powers now. I mean, considering his whole reality bending motif, I guess it wouldn’t really be out of the question.
Wiz: Reasonable. Don’t be fooled by who you love, cause you might end up with a Darkipilier.
”I’ve been waiting.”
Observer[]
Wiz: Noah Maxwell was just a guy recording fun videos on the internet. He was happy with his life at the time…..until things started happening. His videos were originally going to be about the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but the project was cancelled by his teacher for unknown reasons. Then he found out his cousin, Milo Asher, had committed suicide and was found dead. Noah changed the channel to a dedication channel to Milo. Then….videos started showing up that he did not create. What the hell?
Boomstick: I’m pretty sure you can guess where this goes. Noah starts investigating for supernatural activity outside his house by recording at night. Then he gets an unusual package, but only one item in it seemed to work. A cell phone. He recovered it, and it started to not work….until he gets a call.
Enter: The Observer.
Vessel Name: Kevin Haas
Occupation: Proxy, second in command of the Collective.
Wiz: The Observer is an incorporeal entity that possesses human vessels to do his bidding, turning them into black figures of utter destruction. In this case, the Observer is the most powerful of the Collective, a group of incorporeal entities that work for the Administrator. Also known as the Slender Man.
Boomstick: Now this is where it gets interesting: What can this...THING...even do? A whole lot, actually. His powers consist of:
Technopathy (Hacking easily)
Time Manipulation
Teleportation
Darkness Manipulation
Disease Manipulation
Apportation
Spatial Manipulation
Possession
Shapeshifting
Matter Manipulation
And that’s not all, he has the same type of immortality as an entity from another Slenderverse series, HABIT.
HABIT: Someone called?
Boomstick: Oh god, are you the horror version of Deadpool he-
HABIT: Shut your fucking mouth, fat-ass. I just came here to say hello, and you scoff at me? You don’t even know my true pow-
Boomstick: In another fight, HABIT. In another fight.
HABIT: Fine…...stupid fucker.
Wiz: What just happened?
Boomstick: I have...no idea.
Wiz: Anyway, back to the Observer, his immortality means he cannot be killed by normal means, or even by exorcism. To truly kill him...well we don’t know. Maybe existence erasure?
Boomstick: This guy creeps me out. And that’s pretty cool, and he has pretty cool feats as well.
FEATS
Extremely manipulative.
Created an audio device that recorded Noah’s everyday life.
Unaffected by having his throat and wrist slit.
Doesn’t care about time and calls it “an abstract concept created by humans”
Created a virus
Rotated the entire Earth to change the time of day.
Now with all this said….that’s really all we have so far of this guy. The series is STILL going on and we don’t know when it will end. We do hope it’ll end soon, because it’s been going on for a whole decade. To compare, EverymanHYBRID ended last year. So what’s taking it so long?
Wiz: Patience, Boomstick. Patience. We will never know when it’ll be complete, but one thing we do know is….you don’t want to cross paths with the Observer. Ever.
“A brief lesson from your own world. You, and everyone you’ve ever met, are prisoners, bound in a cave and facing a blank wall on which you can only perceive shadows. A brain connected to eyes and nothing more. We have seen what casts those shadows, Noah Maxwell. Why won’t you let us untie you? You are quite deserving, after all. The Boardwalk. Bring the journal. That is your homework. However, if you come empty-handed, we shall be forced to take...disciplinary actions. Perhaps another detention? Until then, I will continue my…..observations. Pleasant dreams, Noah.”

DEATH BATTLE[]
Markiplier: Hello, everybody! My name’s Markiplier, and welcome to Death Battle Fanon. Now, I’ve heard a lot about this site...you can take literally anyone and use them. Like for example..*types Markiplier*...HEY! I got a page! Aww, that’s sweet! Ahh….of course there’s one about me vs. Jack, obviously. Wait….*Darkiplier?* AW NO. WHY WOULD YO-
*the screen glitches, revealing Darkiplier*
Dark: I’ve been waiting..and I have come for vengeance. Users of the Death Battle Fanon will be permanently ripped from existence from my ha-
*a weird symbol popped up in the corner of Darkiplier’s shirt, he notices and thought it looked weird*
Dark: What the….who put this here? COME OUT!
*the screen glitches again, this time revealing a new entity*
AH YES
HELLO DARKIPLIER
I HAVE COME TO SEND A MESSAGE
WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOU
ADMINISTRATOR IS GONE BECAUSE OF YOU
I AM COMING FOR YOU
BE PREPARED
OR YOU SHALL SERVE A FATE WORSE THAN NOAH MAXWELL
Dark: I should’ve known...it was you. You only exist to deliver turmoil to those who interest you. Why?
WE TAKE OUR SUBJECTS VERY SERIOUSLY
IF YOU ARE NOT VULNERABLE
THEN YOU ARE NOT WORTHY
Dark: Your “administrator” was a weak and frail figure, trying to pursue his dream of conquer. But, his dream is no more, as I shall conquer.
sorrydarkbutwecannotletyou
ordersareorders
myorderscometofruition
I THINK ITS TIME WE TAKE THINGS INTO OUR HANDS DARK
Dark: Come at me, Black Rook. We shall see who is truly worth conquer.
FIGHT!!
The Observer decided to stop time altogether, but Dark broke out of it and returned time to normal.
NOT BAD DARK
BUT WHY SHOULD IT MATTER IF ONE CAN CONTROL SUCH A USELESS CONCEPT
Dark: Because it gives me the upper hand.
Darkiplier decided to grow fire out of his hand, then blew it onto Kevin’s face. His face was starting to burn, while the fire started to turn purple.
Then the fire started to go out, Dark couldn’t even notice if the fire did any damage to him because of how black he already was.
theburningofthedamnediswhatkeepsmegoingdark
The Observer started to give things life, by having knives grow eyes around it like some kind of Pokemon + Resident Evil experiment.
MY CHILDREN SHALL GIVE YOU SOME TIME OFF
Darkiplier fought the living knives, by grabbing them by the handle and throwing them at Kevin. The Observer stopped them in mid-air and gave their life away.
NO MORE NEED FOR BARBARIC MAGIC
IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE A NEW FEELING OF
S I G M A
The Observer started to radiate Sigma Radiation, and Dark started to feel it go inside him. He started to feel ill, but he knew he could overcome it. He warped both of them to a new world where Dark would have the upper hand.
Dark: Reality bends to my will….why can’t YOU?
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF OUR TRUST DARK
OUR ADMINISTRATOR IS GONE
A NEW ONE WOULD BE REDUNDANT
I TAKE ORDERS FROM NO ONE ANYMORE
The Observer’s virus still lingered, it became worse and worse for Dark. He started puking a oil-esque substance out of his innards. It felt..burning inside of him.
Dark: Urgh…
Dark bended reality so hard that cracks started to show up on his body. Then cracks came upon the Observer, looking like tainted glass.
REALITY MEANS NOTHING DARK
IF IT IS YOUR PAWN
THEN I SHALL BE YOUR KING
AND YOU WILL BE A SIMPLE ROOK
For the final touch, the Observer possessed Darkiplier and somehow pulled a gun out of nowhere. Observer forced Dark to shoot himself, but Dark fought back. The Observer started to become more threatening to Dark than Noah Maxwell.
WE DO NOT KILL
BUT ONLY THIS TIME WE MAKE THE EXCEPTION
The trigger was almost about to be pulled, Dark couldn’t bend reality or use magic anymore. He was done for.
“Pleasant dreams, Mark.”
The trigger was pulled. The bullet went into Dark’s head, killing him.
K.O.!!
OUTCOME[]
Boomstick: Woah...didn’t SEE that one coming.
Wiz: While Darkiplier surely is a powerful and menacing foe, he just had nothing in particular to truly take down the Observer.
Boomstick: Darkiplier had magic and time/space bending, but so did the Observer, and he had much better options to take out Dark.
Wiz: Yes, Dark is a very durable foe, surviving a nuke-esque attack...except he also isn’t very durable, via dying by gunshot.
Boomstick: In the battle or official stuff?
Wiz: Both. Plus, the Observer is an entity that could take over Dark’s body and powers with relative ease, as he needs specifically a human vessel to call his own in order to take over.
Boomstick: Overall, it LOOKS like the Observer put Mark back in the DARK.
Wiz: The winner is the Observer.
