History[]
Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi[]
A mad scientist with interest in creating life, Mabuze sought to create one that he deemed perfect in his own vision. To that end, he participated in the tournament held by Phalaris to obtain the gene bomb, more specifically the Fruit of Life, and finally ascend to godhood through his creations. Mabuze created the artificial life form Zigzag using corpses he stitched together as his representative in the fight, controlling it through a cockpit within the monster's head.
After Jugglus Juggler entered Mabuze's stage, the alien brought forth Zigzag and used it to fight the warrior. Juggler called Mabuze out for trying to play god, something that irked the alien even further. Juggler had his pet snake, Crowley, slip into the cockpit and frighten Mabuze to the point of forfeiting his participation. Mabuze escaped by ejecting in his escape pod, leaving Zigzag to deactivate itself from the lack of a controller.
In space, Mabuze decided to abandon his pursuit for the Fruit of Life, but remained insistent in creating new life forms through an alternative. He would go on to create the Monster Bomb Darebolic and planned to sell it for his own arms dealing business. Upon hearing of the Villain Guild's existence, he decided to jump to another universe's Planet Earth where the events of Ultraman Taiga would take place.

Ultraman Taiga[]
Mabuze auctioned the Monster Bomb to the Villain Guild, with Zolin purchasing it but it ended up being lost to a string of events that lead to Ultraman Fuma's first appearance on Earth. Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi Requiem of the Wolves He also obtains the DNA sample for Ultraman Belial through said auction as well.
Once again attempting to create the ultimate creature, he had many test subjects taken and used for his experiments; one of them was a Lunah named Moko, which was the pet of a boy named Kanta. Kanta went to EGIS for help. While the other members dismissed him, Hiroyuki Kudo decided to help because he was reminded of Chibisuke. They went to look for Moko in an abandoned building, where Hiroyuki saw many other captured monsters, most young. The two were apprehended by Chiburoids sent by Mabuze, who contacted them via a hologram. He explained that he was capturing infant monsters in an attempt to create the ultimate creature, before he unleashed a Skull Gomora, which he created using the genes of Gomora, Red King and Ultraman Belial.

"Chi-Chibull science is number 1 in the universe!"
- ―Mabuze's last words.
Later on, Alien Zarab, Alien Godola and Alien Sran sought out Mabuze's help in defeating the Tri-Squad and Ultraman Tregear so that they could stand unopposed. Mabuze decided to help them by using the Belial samples he acquired to create Imit-Ultraman Belial, who was able to overcome each of the Tri-Squad members, though they had to give it a power boost using additional Belial cells when Ultraman Tregear appeared. Ironically, this became their undoing as Tregear led the Belial clone to destroy the building that the aliens were in, crushing them under the rubble. Just as he died, Mabuze declares Chibull science to be the best in the universe. Clash! Ultra Big Match!

- Cloning Technology: To instantly creating clones of a life form, Mabuze has projectile devices which materialize said life form, provided that its DNA essence is loaded. He first use three stationary devices (each loaded with Gomora, Red King and Belial's DNA respectively) to create Skull Gomora at his hidden lab, but he also has a handheld version of it to create Imit-Ultraman Belial, with another shot to the giant clone serves to further enhance his strength.
