Dark Pit

Dark Pit, also known as Black Pit and Pittoo, is one of the main characters from the Kid Icarus series.
== Charactah Account ==
A mysterious black-winged angel. He can soar through the skies without being granted the power of flight - and is determined to face Pit in battle.
As Dark Pit is the physical manifestation of Pit's dark side, Dark Pit is said to represent the repressed feelings that Pit keeps to himself. Dark Pit is significantly more serious than his jovial counterpart, often having a more dry sense of humor. He is also more arrogant and cocky, claiming to be the original Pit. Additionally, Dark Pit is more aggressive and pragmatic than Pit, often striking opponents when their guard is down. Dark Pit proves to be sharper than Pit, possessing more common sense. This is shown when he deduces that it would take more than one soul to create an Underworld monster.
Dark Pit's most notable trait is his independent streak. As the Mirror of Truth was destroyed before the process could be complete, Dark Pit becomes a neutral character, refusing to side with any of the gods. This is shown when he defies Pandora, and flat out refuses Medusa's offer for an alliance. He even openly calls out the gods for their selfishness, claiming that they are no better than humans as their wars throw the world off balance.

== Trivia ==
* Dark Pit continues the tradition of Nintendo doppelgängers, joining a cast that includes Shadow Mario, Dark Link, Shadow Link, Metal Mario, Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi, Dark Samus, The SA-X, Dark Bowser, Dark Meta Knight, Phantom Ganon, Pseudo-Palutena, Shadow Kirby, Shadow Pit, and Blood Falcon; but like Shadow Kirby, Dark Pit isn't evil. Unlike the blank Dark Link and Dark Samus, however, Dark Pit has a fully fleshed out personality.
* Dark Pit's design was likely inspired by Pit's "fallen angel" alternate costume from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as the color palettes are very similar between the two.
* His weapon of choice seems to be the Silver Bow, as he is seen wielding it more often than any other weapon.
** The Silver Bow is a prototype (therefore incomplete) version of the Palutena Bow, which is Pit's signature weapon. This reflects the fact that Dark Pit is a flawed clone of Pit.
** Some weapon Idols will show Dark Pit using them, like the Leo Cannon or Samurai Blade. Ironically, the idol of his weapon of choice, the Silver Bow, doesn't feature him wielding it. He is, however, seen holding the Dark Pit Staff on the weapon's Idol.
* Dark Pit is one of two characters in Uprising that has played the role of an ally, boss, and playable character. The other is Magnus.
** Unlike Magnus, he also appears as a mini-boss. He is the only character in the game to have this distinction.
** Dark Pit is also the only character besides Pit that is playable for a whole chapter, as Magnus isn't playable after the Boss Battle.
