Background
Bill Cipher is a triangular dream demon who exists in the Mindscape and the true antagonist of Gravity Falls, secretly being responsible for many of the most important events of and leading up to the show. Years ago, Bill made contact Stanford "Ford" Pines, posing as a muse who revealed himself only once every century to a special individual. Tricking Ford into thinking of him as a friend, Bill promised the answers to all of his questions so long as Ford allowed him access to his mind. Ford eventually built a trans-universal portal that he believed would bring answers to important questions until he discovered the true purpose of the device. The portal would act as a connection between the real world and the realm of nightmares, allowing Bill and his friends to pour through, leaving their realm to claim another universe. Ford shut the portal off and denying Bill access to the universe. Years later, after Bill reveals himself to more members of the Pines family and begins to stir up even more trouble in Gravity Falls, he inches his way closer to his goal. As of "Weirdmageddon Part I", he has managed to finally achieve physical form and enter the real world and is beginning to spread madness and chaos across the globe.

It was revealed that after the events of Gravity Falls Bill is trapped in a cosmic punishment where he's forced to relive the events of the series again and again. Bill lived in and made Nightmare Realm his new home[6] which is not only described as a place that lacks laws[6] such as physics[6] or causality[7], but also implied to be outside time[1] due to it being a dimension between dimensions, each being a different space-time that follows its own rules[6]), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

Is able to come back because of the Axolotl), Resurrection (Mid-Godly. Implied that, thanks to the Axolotl, he can come back after his erasure,[9] with the latter knowing about it, though details such as the methods or how much time it takes are unknown, with it also likely being the reason why Bill is trapped in a cosmic punishment where he's forced to relive the events of the series over and over), If Bill tricks his target into making a deal with him he gains access to: Soul and Mind Removal, Possession (Showcased here[5]), Extrasensory Perception (Implied to have more senses than humans.[4] Could see Dipper's soul despite none else could), Extreme Fourth Wall Breaking and Awareness (He is aware of the real world and can "see" us.[1] Changed the entire intro of the show after Weirdmageddon started and also changed the text "Created by Alex Hirsch" into "Created by Bill Cipher".[3] Was able to possess Alex and make a Reddit account for himself.[1] Spoke to the viewer in the Complete Box Series), Mind Manipulation, Telepathy and Dream Manipulation and Nightmare Inducement (Claimed to be a master of the mind, and showcased to know what others are thinking at the very moment.[4] Enterred Stanley's mind possibly through his dreams[4] to fulfill his deal with Gideon, with Stanford stating that Bill would have read and entered inside his mind if it weren't for the metal plate protecting him.[10] Bill is a dream demon, so he is able to enter dreams[5] and can then turn them into nightmares[10]), Flight (Is always floating in the air,[4] was able to replicate the moon[5]), Telekinesis (Was able to take the teeth of a deer and then put them back[4]), Teleportation and Intangibility (Has shown the ability to disappear into thin air,[4] somehow appeared behind Dipper while he was looking directly at Bill.[5] He also was able to come through the ground behind Dipper without alerting him even though Dipper was looking right at him[5]), Energy Projection (Fired a beam of energy which blew a hole in Dipper's Mindscape form[4]), Fire Manipulation (Shown here[4]), Shapeshifting, Body Control, Elasticity, Stealth Mastery, Sound Manipulation and Size Manipulation (Turned into Soos and tricked Mabel and Dipper by mimicking his voice perfectly, can also use his own body like a telephone which can be called.[4] Manifested from the Moon itself;[5] can become red and of a larger size; is shown to be very elastic when he wants; became a slot machine version of himself[5]), Portal Creation (Showcased here[4]), Precognition (It is heavily implied he was able to foresee Weirdmageddon way before it happened,[4] Quickly saw Dipper waking up, screaming and acting in a specific way before it happened and did an impression of it perfectly, and later asked Soos if he wanted to hear the exact time and date of his death.[5] Told Ford to not have a heart attack as he wasn't 92 yet, implying he knows when and how Ford will die.[10] Replied being asked twice if he could see the future by claiming to see the questioner's future, and that he could "see a kaleidoscope of temporal probability with fluctuating range", seeing in it "infinite alternate versions of [himself] in infinite alternate dimensions answering [the] question with infinite variation", one of them having "answered by vomiting a stream of blood and prime numbers out of his third mouth!".[1] While being erased Bill showed a single image of his statue in the forest which we see later in the episode at the ending[10]), Retrocognition (Displayed here[5]), Regeneration (Soul and Mind, High-Mid. Recovered from a hole that was pierced through his body from Dipper and remade his whole body after being reduced to just his eye and limbs), Memory Manipulation (While possessing Ford, Bill deleted a word from his vocabulary and replaced it with another,[6] listed "Eating childhood memories" as fun), Dimensional Travel, Gravity Manipulation (Changed the gravity of the dream world by simply tipping his hat off to Dipper[5]), Creation and Subjective Reality (Created Mabel's imagination with a single snap.[4] Created "a head that is always screaming" with a simple clap, and later a cane for himself in the same episode[5]), Selective Time Stop (Stopped time upon first appearing[4]), Clairvoyance and Cosmic Awareness (Can see through paintings and representations of himself, can see everything those who summon him see.[6] Can "watch" the entire universe from the Nightmare Realm.[10] Can see the actions of all of his other infinite selves[1]), Duplication (Is able to make several versions of himself and control all of them[10]), Sleep Manipulation (Put Mabel to sleep with a simple snap of his fingers[11]), Extreme Charisma and Manipulation Skills (Tricked and terrorized great minds in history "since time began".[6] Tricked Ford and is described as being highly charismatic, and often aims to reach his personal gains through deals & deceptions, previously making others believe incorrect notions.[10] Can make people cry from simply repeating "why"), Non-Physical Interaction and Concept Digestion (Showcased to interact with other Mindscape beings multiple times.[4][5] Claimed to have tasted the concept of life. which he adds that it tastes like "Uracil Cytocine and Thymine",[1] although if this is meant to be taken literally is debatable), Air Manipulation (Stated that he can eradicate "ALL OXYGEN ON THE PLANET LEADING TO GLOBAL ASPHYXIATION!"[1]), Immersion (Was implied that he used to be in a comic book), Void Manipulation and Power Nullification (Reduced the Mindscape into a white void, nullifying the abilities of Dipper, Mabel and Soos), Dimensional Storage and Spatial Manipulation (Took a clock out of nowhere while acting like a wormhole, redirecting Mabel back to her original location after she entered inside of him[4]), Light Manipulation (Showcased[5] twice[3]), Electricity Manipulation (Can release electricity from his body), Technology Manipulation and Data Manipulation

Shown that his powers could be use to play ping-pong with a planet.[12] despite its natural structure disallowing elasticity and rebound. Shuffled "the functions of every hole" in Preston's face[3]), Reality Warping, Law Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Physics Manipulation and Empowerment (11-D. Weirdmageddon, the event that Bill caused and controls: Ford stated that Bill's power grows stronger with every minute,[3] it is considered to be an apocalypse and can possibly affect the multiverse, it can send waves of Weirdness which can make objects come to life, spawn random beings, transmute beings and objects, change the size of beings to insane degrees, bring game characters and two dimensional beings to the third dimension and several other logic breaking effects.[3] Bill states that "Meaning has no Meaning" and that "Existence is upside down", Madness Bubbles are shown to warp the shows animation by changing the very fabric of reality.[3] after the Bubble is gone he states he will rewrite the reality from any kind of law[8] and causality system[7], which is supported by his powers being used to play ping-pong with a planet and break logic all together[8]), Additional Limbs (Can grow as many arms[3] as he wishes to[8]), Pocket Reality Manipulation, BFR, Sealing, and Animal Manipulation (Created Mabelland and trapped Mabel there,[3] there are some parts of Mabelland made out of bugs[12]), Creation and Madness Manipulation (Types 2 and 3, Can create madness bubbles that can induce madness into whatever it touches while warping those within them,[3] his true name can cause ecstasy and frenzy to mortals, and they would disintegrate into vapor. His "true form" beneath his exoskeleton could drive Fiddleford to insanity[7]), Time Manipulation (When starting Weirdmageddon stated that time was dead while showing a clock and birds slowing down until stopping, later Blendin described the place as "time dodge". Killing Time Baby gave him improved control over time.[3] Listed "Making time stop forever" as fun), Energy Projection, Energy Manipulation, and Durability Negation (Is able to send energy beams from his hands[3] strong enough to vaporize Time Baby[3]), Enhanced Telekinesis (Immobilized and lifted Ford up using telekinesis[3]), Fire Manipulation (Burned all three Journals with a motion of his finger[3]), Forcefield Creation (Deflected Dipper's punch by forming a forcefield around his eye[3]), Dimensional Manipulation and Subjective Reality (Originally came from the 2nd dimension, which he described as a flat world. Liberated and destroyed said dimension with every 2-Dimensional being in it.[8] Later Bill ascended to the higher dimension and took Nightmare Realm as his new dimension and home[6], this is supported by Bill describing gaining a 3-Dimensional physical form as "a multi-dimensional makeover".[8] Bills plan seems to be slowly rising in dimensions and taking over each one starting from the second to the top[8]. Brought video game characters such as Rumble McSkirmish into the real world), Weather Manipulation (Created a gigantic lighting storm that scared all his friends after he got angry[12]), Intangibility (Phased through the floor of his room[8]), Probability Manipulation (Created Mabeland[3], where everything, even simple activities such as skipping stones, is perfect[12]), Enhanced Mind Manipulation and Astral Projection (Bill implies he now doesn't need dreams to enter minds, as he intended to enter Ford's mind anyway if he did not have the metal plate,[8] [Bill can also now mind control people when he wants, leaving them as flying puppets[8] with no consciousness.[12]. Shown[8] twice[9] that he can leave his physical form to enter the Mindscape), Enhanced Spatial Manipulation (Stated that he has the ability to control and manipulate space entirely[8]), Matter Manipulation (Bill stated that he has full control over matter[8] which is supported by him threatening to disassemble Dipper and Mabel's molecules[10]), Enhanced Duplication (Briefly demonstrated in his battle against Shacktron by making several exact clones himself to confuse Shacktron), Enhanced Size Manipulation (Up to Large Size Type 7. Bill now able able to control his size in anyway he likes, making himself and others reach even planetary or galactic sizes[8]), Power Bestowal (Bill Cipher displayed this when empowering his Henchmaniacs to fight Shacktron.[8] Can grant wishes by deals)
Extreme Cold and Cosmic Radiation (Was shown his freely in outer space[8]), Madness Manipulation (One peek into the Nightmare Realm drove Fiddleford briefly insane and made him poetically describe a future event; Bill lived there for 1 trillion years), Quantum Manipulation (Bill is existing in a state of quantum uncertainty, thus making manipulations of quantum particles ineffective against him[1]), Physics Manipulation (Bill lived in and made Nightmare Realm his new home[6] which is described to lacks consistent Physics[6]), Unconventional Biological Manipulation, Poison Manipulation (Bill is stated to be a being made out of pure energy[5]) and Petrification (His Mindscape Form can still act and leave his physical form if it is petrified[9])
Attack Potency: Unknown (Originally came from the 2nd dimension, which he described as flat,[8] with said dimension not being infinitely inferior to the 3rd.[6] Destroyed the 2nd dimension with every being living in it. Described gaining a 3-Dimensional physical form "a multi-dimensional makeover"[8]), Varies via Possession (Doesn't exist in the physical world unless he's possessing someone or an inanimate object[5]), able to ignore durability with powers | At least High Macroverse level (Caused the Dimensional Rift[3] and gets empowered by the minute from it,[3] with Time Baby claiming that if the Rift is not stopped, it would destroy the very fabric of existence.[3] Implied to sustain the Rift itself due to his death causing it to close and all of its effects being reverted shortly after.[9] Has "liberated" the 2nd dimension from destroying it, and stated that he can do the same to the Stanford's home dimension,[8] with "dimension" in context meaning one of the many parallel universes.[6] Easily killed Time Baby,[3] who he claimed weighs 9 trillion tons.[1] Stated to have infinite power, told Stanley Pines that he can grant him both infinite power and his own galaxy, and shown Stanford that if he gets his powers, he could grow larger than a galaxy[8]. Due to the Dimensional Rift being the gap between worlds,[3] which are infinite[7] in total and Stanford saying twice that Bill is a threat to the wider multiverse,[6] it's possible that the Dimensional Rift would have also destroyed all of them, with Bill's goal being also planning to use it to make existence without restrictions, laws,[8] cause and effect[7], making it like the Nightmare Realm, the lawless space between all the dimensions[6]. Ford considered Bill a threat to the multiverse and its inhabitants[6] that contain Pan-Dimensional Beings that can be 11 dimensional[6]), able to ignore durability with powers
Speed: Unknown, Varies via Possession | Massively FTL+ (Closed a gap of several meters very suddenly[3] and crossed half of Gravity Falls in seconds.[12] Should be able to go to a similar speed as a galaxy-sized Stanford, as he could reach this level if he takes Bill's power.[10] Able to cross to a nearby galaxy in seconds[10], Bill lived in and made Nightmare Realm his new home[6] which is implied to be outside time[1] due to it being a dimension between dimensions, each being a different space-time that follows its own rules[6]) with Infinite reaction speed (He could "see a kaleidoscope of temporal probability with fluctuating range", seeing in it "infinite alternate versions of [himself] in infinite alternate dimensions answering [the] question with infinite variation", one of them having "answered by vomiting a stream of blood and prime numbers out of his third mouth!"][1])
Lifting Strength: Unknown, Varies via Possession | Class K with Telekinesis (He was able to lift the Fearamid[3]), up to Universal via Size Manipulation and Reality Warping[10]
Durability: Unknown, Varies via Possession | At least High Macroverse level (Should be the same as his Attack Potency, due to Stanford stating that the end of the world caused from the Weirdmageddon being just a game for him[10] and that before he couldn't find an energy source powerful enough to kill Bill despite the fact that he has something capable of containing the Dimensional Rift[6] at the time, with Bill also not being bothered from Time Baby claiming that the Rift would destroy the fabric of existence even after it was showcased as being a massive explosion[3]), Regeneration and Immortality makes him extremely difficult to kill
Stamina: Infinite (Didn't recognize being tired when in Dipper's body, implying it was something new to him[5]), Varies via Possession | Infinite (Claimed to have infinite power)
Range: Up to HIgh Macroversal with his abilities (Possessed Blendin and was able to enter his dreams, who was at that time at the future.[6] Can travel across and tamper with realities, and is one of the most feared beings in the multiverse[6] and can see the actions of all of his other infinite selves[1])
Standard Equipment: None Notable
Intelligence: Is said to know "lots of things",[4] such as the truth of many well-known conspiracies as well as future events, like the destruction of Gideon-bot and that Gideon Gleeful would go to prison. Tricked and terrorized great minds in history "since time began". Helped Stanford in building a portal for the "Weirdness Dimension", with the portal being powerful enough to shake the entire Nightmare Realm and requiring for its construction 5th-Dimensional Calculus, Hyper-Advanced Engineering, Applied Quantum Phase Theory and a Temporal Displacement Hyperdrive, with the latter being an invention which won't be made from humanity until 10,000 years later in the future, while also tricking him to lead said portal to instead the Nightmare Realm with Ford being unaware of it until that the portal was almost activated[10][6]
Weaknesses: He will do irrational things at times and is extremely cocky and arrogant. His regeneration seems to take a bit of time as he complained about how long it took him to regenerate his eye back. His precognition needs to be activated and he often neglects to use said power in combative scenarios, presumably due to hubris. While he is in someone's mind, memory erasure can be used to erase him. However, as hinted by clues such as a hidden incantation Bill spoke in reverse, he can eventually return from being erased.
