The One Who is Many . The One Who is Many is a villainous alien shapeshifter and the antagonist of the " " graphic novel " Comet Crisis . " History . The exact origins of this being are unknown ; what is known is that it previously lived on an inhabited planet where it used its abilities to turn the inhabitants against each other . Even on the occasions when it was discovered , it was able to use its abilities to escape , and the infighting from its actions eventually led to the planet ' s destruction . The One became marooned on a fragment of the planet , a large asteroid , where it spent an unspecified period of time languishing in boredom without other beings to manipulate , imitate , and / or deceive . Eventually The Four Golden Weapons ended up on the comet as a result of the events of Wrong Place , Wrong Time , and after the Nindroid s escaped with them the One was left to torment their stranded Ninja pursuers . The One Who is Many attempted to prevent the Ninja from repairing the Arcturus spacecraft and making their escape , impersonating Kai , Jay , Cole , and Nya in its efforts . It eventually abducted Jay and forced the others to follow it to a series of ruins , where it made known it ' s role in the cataclysm that had destroyed its previous home . Taking the forms of Lloyd , Wu ( both normal and cyborg ) , and Cyrus Borg , it refused to allow the Ninja to leave .

It could assume alien and human forms , including a featureless white Minifigure , and could transform itself into smoke as well . However , for some reason it was apparently unable to take the form of a Nindroid , and the attempt temporarily weakened it and allowed the Ninja to flee . Phantom Ninja . The Phantom Ninja is a Ninjago character who appears in . History . After the Ninja failed to work as a team , Kai began an argument about Cole ' s leadership . Jay agreed that they should consider a different leader altogether , suggesting himself as a likely candidate . Cole , however , retorted with the fact that leadership would be too difficult for any of the three , leaving his comrades to think it over . Zane thought they should go fetch Cole , but Kai interrupted him to decide a new means of choosing the next leader : whoever performs the best in the next mission will be leader . The next morning , the Ninja found that Cole was missing along with their equipment . The three quickly searched for the Earth Ninja , only to find him unconscious in a field of grass . With the splash of cold water , Cole awoke from his forced slumber , complaining of a headache and claiming that something wiped him out while he was guarding their campsite . While they debated about the cause , Kai found a note attached to a tree held up by a single shuriken . The note was signed by the Phantom Ninja , admitting to being the one who stole their possessions and warning that he would take something more precious if the Ninja did not surrender . Cole then told his team a story about Sensei Wu attempting to recruit the Phantom Ninja , but changed his mind when the Ninja demanded gold in return for his services . The Phantom Ninja was not able to handle Sensei Wu ' s second thought , vowing to seek revenge . The Ninja turned to Cole for a plan to tackle the task , but Cole pointed out that he was no longer the leader , causing the three other Ninja to walk away in order to help themselves . The Ninja agreed to a plan sorted out by Kai , though the trap they laid out failed to lure the Phantom Ninja . However , after they heard the shocked screams of Cole , the three Ninja went to investigate and found that the Earth Ninja was missing . A note rested in his place where his black ninja hood had been left behind , signed once more by the Phantom Ninja . It spoke of how he took Cole , warning that they will never see him again if they cannot find him by the next day . They headed out through the forest in search of their missing friend . The three Ninja came across a broken bridge above a river , finding yet another note , which informed them that they must make it past the river without the use of Spinjitzu . Jay spotted some of his stolen gear nearby , creating a rocket pack and tying a rope around himself and his comrades . They flew across with success and crash - landed onto the other side of the river . A single arrow shot past Zane with another note , though Kai ordered everyone to search for the Phantom Ninja instead as the arrow would indicate that he was close . In their chase , they became so focused they accidentally sprung traps that left them hanging upside - down by vines . The Phantom Ninja finally showed himself , laughing and taunting the group . He then gave them a clue of Cole ' s situation : Where is a man who is drowning , yet not wet ? The Phantom Ninja vanished after his question , the Ninja quickly realizing that Cole must be in the quicksand nearby . Zane , Jay , and Kai arrived at the pool of quicksand , spotting a black - garbed figure in the middle . Kai made a lasso out of some vines , though Cole made no effort to grab it and instead lay motionless . Zane and Kai turned to leave , Jay astonished with them as they left him behind . An axe was propelled at the ground where they were walking , the Phantom Ninja standing atop a branch above them . The Phantom Ninja questioned their actions , Kai telling the figure of the dummy that was placed in the quicksand , and Zane elaborating with details of his plan . Having been figured out , the Phantom Ninja pulled off his hood to reveal himself to be Cole . Cole explained how he planned out the entire ordeal to teach the team a lesson about leadership , and when Kai asked him if he made up the Phantom Ninja , Cole admitted that the story was true . The Earth Ninja informed his team that he returned their possessions to the campsite after they left , though when they headed back home , the campsite was completely trashed . At first the three Ninja assumed that Cole was lying about returning their luggage , but Cole was just as stunned as they were . The Phantom Ninja appeared before them , stating it was his doing before throwing shurikens at Jay . Cole demanded to know his reason for trashing their camp , though the Phantom Ninja replied that he heard his name was being used in vain . After Kai and the Phantom Ninja exchanged taunts , they both sprung into battle . He quickly paralyzed Kai with a sparrow strike , moving onto Zane next . The Phantom Ninja complimented Zane for his skill , though he took down the Ice Ninja with ease . Cole then sprung into action with Jay , using their Spinjitzu - however , the Phantom Ninja whirled around into a tornado of Spinjitzu and countered their attack . The Phantom Ninja disappeared afterward , Cole ordering his teammates to grab makeshift weapons using rocks and sticks . The gray Ninja reappeared moments later , Zane questioning how he performed such a technique . He explained that he simply emptied his mind of all thought , commenting that the technique should be easy for them . Cole began to notice his comrades were becoming exhausted , coming up with a plan in an attempt to stop the endless battle . He ordered the Ninja to close in on their opponent and , once they were close enough , performed Spinjitzu which whipped the Phantom Ninja into the air . Once the gray Ninja fell , the Phantom Ninja began laughing before stating that he lost his wager . Confused , Cole asked him what he meant , the Phantom Ninja explaining that he and Sensei Wu participated in a bet to see if the team became too fractured to operate properly in a crisis . Kai was baffled by his explanation , the Phantom Ninja elaborating further - the story that Sensei Wu told was made up . The Phantom Ninja was previously a bandit , and when Sensei Wu found him , they worked out a deal : Sensei Wu would not report him to the police if the Phantom Ninja only stole from other bandits and passed any information of major threats to Sensei Wu . Then he explained to them that he provided the team a common enemy when they needed it most , to bring them together . Zane pointed out how after the entire ordeal , he was unsure of how he could just simply let him go back to his banditry . The Phantom Ninja said to the Ninja of Ice that it was just how things were , giving them the option of attempting to beat him again . Cole was forced to stop an infuriated Kai from attacking the gray Ninja , instead letting him off on the note of being ready for another attack if necessary . With that , the Phantom Ninja bowed , saying that he would leave Sensei Wu the Tea in the " usual spot " and informed them where he placed their gear before vanishing . Seliel .

Seliel and her father were quickly captured , being held hostage to force the rest of the village into subservience creating fake Nindroid parts .

However , fearing what would happen to her father if he was recaptured , Seliel didn ' t tell him and would go back to her prison before the Nindroids could notice . With the exit , she made a plan , going out every night and donning her Phantom Ninja armor , fighting the Nindroids before sneaking back into their prison to elminate the possibility that she was the enigmatic vigilante in the Nindroids ' minds . Her feats and clever use of the smoke pellets made her renowned amongst the captive villagers , who regarded her as a supernatural entity . Who is The Phantom Ninja ? After sneaking out once more , Seliel disabled a pair of Nindroid Drone s , attracting the attention of the Ninja , who had stumbled across the village and noticed the presence of the machines . Later , Seliel ambushed a truck carrying metal for the Nindroids ' factory , destroying the engine and being confronted by the ninja . Seliel , keeping her identity secret , revealed she planned to scatter the iron before taking revenge on the driver for assisting the machines , regardless of whether or not he knew of what he was involved in . However , the ninja distracted her , giving the driver time to escape , and furious , warned them not to interfere before disappearing , heading back to her prison . The next night , sneaking out under her disguise once more , she was confronted by Jay , who suspected her of secretly being a Nindroid trying to trick them ; However , when his magnet failed to attract her , revealing she wasn ' t a machine , Seliel clashed with the ninja before Nya came to his aid , forcing Seliel to fly away . The next night , she snuck out of the prison once more , being spotted by Nya , unbeknownst to her . Continuing on , she attacked the Nindroids after the ninja freed her fellow villagers from the factory , begrudgingly working with them in gratitude . However , despite their attempts , they were cornered by the machines , and Seliel disappeared in a cloud of smoke , leaving the ninja behind and returning to the prison . The next night , she snuck out yet again only to be confronted by Cole , who had been told by Nya of what she had seen the night before . Cole unmasked her , and angered , Seliel attacked Cole , blaming him and the rest of the team before the predicament of her home , declaring she wasn ' t willing to just stand aside . Ultimately , however , Cole managed to subdue and calm her down , suggesting an alliance , and for the sake of her friends and father , Seliel agreed to his proposition . The next night , she appeared before the Nindroids , claiming that the escaped villagers were in the woods and taunting them to challenge before her , and disappearing . Even as Cryptor and his army headed to the forest , where they fought the ninja , she rescued her father , stopping by the abandoned factory on the way and discovering the parts manufactured were useless fakes . After helping the ninja in the fight , Seliel gloated against Cryptor , revealing her rescued parent and identity to the Nindroid , forcing him to leave now that he had no leverage . Reconciling with her new friends and father , Seliel revealed how she became the Phantom Ninja before warning the ninja of the fake parts , causing Cole to realize the entire ordeal had been nothing more than a mere distraction . Though invited to join the team , Seliel announced that she preferred fighting solo , but nevertheless offered to help them out in the future , disappearing with her father . Later , while reconciling with her father on a hilltop , she managed to gain his approval to continue being the Phantom Ninja , and stared at the stars above , unknowingly looking at the comet Arcturus , where the ninja were at the very moment .
