Ecolo from Puyo Puyo. :-3
Yes, Ecolo from the Puyo Puyo series could kill Macbeth!
Depending on the game/version/translation, Ecolo is referred to with either masculine or gender-neutral pronouns, and is generally accepted to be canonically genderless. I couldn't find any instance of Ecolo being referred to specifically as a "man," though I suppose there is some potential for debate there for the Gender Clause; we'll be counting him for now.
Regardless, Ecolo's body is composed of space matter, and he is an inter-dimensional "spacetime traveler" that regularly breaks the laws of physics. From what I could find, we don't have any mention of Ecolo's creator(s) or origin, but it can be safely assumed that Ecolo, at the very least, applies for the Unconventional Birth Clause.
Thank you for your submission!

Fun Puyo Puyo Fact for you power scalers out there.
The more Ls one takes one after the other the stronger they are. Because in general, the loser gets exhausted after losing, meaning they don't have it in them for a rematch. So getting back on their feet is impressive.
Lemres, Possessed Klug, Satan, Ecolo, Ex, Marle, and Squares all operate(d) on this.
Squares in particular was on steroids, like 8 losses so close to each other. The one time he did one Marle was holding back.
To be fair the last few weren't hostile but he's still outdoing Satan.
Satan's highest losing streak was either 4 or 5 in 20th's final story. It's legit nothing to him. He can keep on playing until you're exhausted at winning. (Someone turn that into a comedy fanfic, please... or a dramatic one.)
Doppelganger Arle I guess is a glass cannon retroactively. She took one defeat and bolted out of there. Which is a little amusing.
And Rafisol perhaps shouldn't be judged by the same standards. She's a final boss in an RPG. The numbers she has should speak for her. Though it was 3-v-1.
The point of this post is I just find it funny that you can tell who's strong overpowered if they lose and go "That didn't count, let's go again!" It's inherently oxymoronic.
But in most if not all cases it does show it shows those guys are decent people.
Satan usually just leaves it at one match. Despite him being the one most capable of abusing it, it is often casually implied he is the strongest there is after all. Nobody comes close, even steroid Squares.
Possessed Klug loses one after the other, it's just Sig and Raffina bolt out of there before he can get up and rechallenge them. And maybe PKlug could have another go if Amitie didn't go:
He is brought down on his knees 3 times though. But that could mean anything.
I think Lemres reached more than his limit after all of the Fever 2 Waku Waku Courses because he's absolutely wrecked. He Puyo'd too much in the sun.
The Squares gauntlet is more about trying to de-escalate him than actually fighting Squares. But also demonstrates the BS "that didn't count" thing to its logical extreme. Satan could be that if he wanted too, but unlike Squares he isn't attempting to do something evil.
Only about 5 or 6 matches Squares partakes in are actually serious. He is successfully convinced he did a bad eventually, and the final few matches aren't antagonistic as a result.
Honestly, now that I think about it. The fact losers are kinda drained by a losing a Puyo match, and Squares almost exploding because he had too much power, would imply the final battle, a skill battle, is everyone Puyo-ing him at once to curb his powerful tummy ache. (I mean that's always stated, just I have more clarity now I think.)
Besides maybe Tee I think everyone else just doesn't rematch after a loss. They are consistent about this.
I'm not into power scaling persé, I don't like rating things like that and deciding who or what is only worth my time. That's reductive and dumb taking things with personalities, experiences, stories, and lore into account especially.
But I think it says something about these strong characters that's more than "Satan could beat Goku".
Ecolo and Satan, the two most recurring ones that can pull the "That didn't count" but usually don't tells us a lot about them.
That and as I said I find it funny. This is like so funny, flies in the face of logic. The more you lose in quick succession the stronger you are.
Also it's a Puzzle game, Satan may have the highest AI, but that still put him on equal grounds with Onion Pixie.
