Being one of Nintendo's most iconic antagonists, Bowser was very tyrannical; cruel, ruthless, and oppressive, he was willing to do anything it took to defeat his former nemesis (arch nemesis at the time) Mario, and capture his wife (girlfriend at the time) Peach Toadstool.
Now as a SuperCharger, Bowser is a trustworthy warrior; courageous, selfless, and loyal to those who can't help themselves. He is still sinister, but in a good way (very similar to the SWAP Force Skylander, Rattle Shake). He also tends to assume himself leader of the SuperChargers in Spitfire's absence.
Biography
Bowser is the king of the Koopas and believes himself to be the supreme, unquestioned ruler of a kingdom far from Skylands. A hot-tempered and spiky-shelled warrior, he was transported to Skylands by traveling through a rift that had been created by Kaos' terrible Sky-Eater. The Skylanders sent out a distress call across all the dimensions to call for reinforcements, and for reasons known only to Bowser himself, he has decided to join this epic battle against Kaos and the Darkness in his Clown Cruiser as the newest and most lethal of all the SuperChargers!
Story
Skylanders: Unexpected Allies
When Kaos cut off the connection between the Portals in Skylands, Mags' distress signal was not only able to reach all of Skylands but to other worlds as well. Both Bowser and Donkey Kong were transported to Skylands through a rift where they were soon attacked by a gang of pirates lead by Captain Blubberbeard. During the battle, they discovered two Rift Engines nearby and touched them, transforming into SuperChargers. With their newfound powers, Bowser and Donkey Kong defeated the pirates and drove them away. Skylanders, Bone Bash Roller Brawl and Lava Lance Eruptor, discovered the two newcomers and brought them back to the Skylanders Academy where Buzz explained what was happening to Skylands. At first Bowser wasn't willing to help out, as he believed that since Skylands isn't his world, it wasn't his and Donkey Kong's fight. Buzz soon noted that if Kaos succeeds in ruling Skylands, Bowser's world would be in danger as well. With an enhanced Clown Cruiser to seal the deal, Bowser decided to join the battle against Kaos as a SuperCharger.
Relationships
Donkey Kong
The former Koopa tyrant and the primate hero were sworn enemies. Now together as Skylanders, they are in good terms with one another, as evident when Bowser was defensive of his associate during their confrontation with Blubberbeard and his pirates.
Gameplay
Equipped with a large, fire-infused hammer, Bowser can land devastating blows on his enemies. He can also summon Koopas, Warp Pipes, and transform into Molten Bowser.

While Bowser is capable of speech in the IDW Skylander comics, he doesn't talk in the game.
Thwomps were originally part of Bowser's moveset, until it was decided that Koopas were a better fit.[1]
Molten Bowser is a homage to Giga Bowser in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Additionally, Giga Bowser was planned to be a part of Bowser's moveset in an attempt to stay loyal to Nintendo source material. Nintendo, instead, encouraged deviating from source material and doing something original, and thus Molten Bowser was created instead.[1]
Bowser is the first villain to have a Skylander figurine.
He and Donkey Kong are the only two SuperChargers with vehicles not of their respective Elements.
