Pitch Black

==Summary==
Once a great warrior and a hero of the Golden Age, Kozmotis Pitchiner was tempted and tricked by the Fearlings, creatures of shadow. While they were a shifting, useless mass by themselves, Kozmotis had the power to shape them into his own army of darkness and command them himself.
Now calling himself Pitch Black, the Nightmare King, he razed the galaxy, plundering planets and extinguishing stars. He single-handedly destroyed the League of Star Captains, the Pooka Brotherhood and the Lunar Lamas. However, on his quest to take the Lunanoff Prince as his Prince of Nightmares, he was defeated and sealed on Earth by Nightlight, who watched over Pitch with the Lunanoff Prince.
Pitch eventually broke free and covered Earth with a layer of darkness to begin taking the universe back. The Lunanoff Prince, desperate, created a team of Guardians to take on Pitch. These included the last member of the League of Star Captains, the last Pooka, and brave men and women from Earth. After a fierce battle, Pitch was eventually defeated again, remembered only as a bad dream. The Guardians took over Earth, keeping it peaceful and loving.
Pitch rose once more during the events of Rise of the Guardians, killing the Sandman and almost defeating a team of Guardians lacking their most powerful members. However, thanks to Jack Frost's belief in children, the Sandman was resurrected just in time to defeat Pitch. Truly scared for the first time in his life, Pitch was quickly consumed by the very nightmares he tried to subjugate in the first place.
