Shadowballa

"It's like you said earlier; there are different types of morality. I guess you can say that...we're all different shades of villainy."
~ Shadowballa to Lord Claudius Ko'Al in Claudius' Quest - Episode 5: Shades of Villainy.
Shadowballa, formerly known as Fallaballa II is a reoccurring character in the Terrachaoverse series who has been both a background character & an antagonist. He used to be a normal member of the Ballan species but was corrupted by dark powers which turned him into a supervillain.
Tier: 9-C prior to his transformation; 4-C, higher with his Magic Wand
== Appearance ==
Shadowballa has dark brown hair with a beard & mustache. His body type is that of an average physique. He wears a black polo shirt with white horizontal stripes, as well as black shorts & a black cape. He right eye glows a fearsome red, especially when he activates his lazer vision. He also wears glasses, but since his transformation, he's only worn sunglasses, as to conceal his red eye.
Like all Ballans, Shadowballa has an extra appendage on his head called a balla. It was white prior to his transformation & turned black afterwards. He also appears to have gotten an "I ❤️ NY" tattoo on it.
== History ==
=== From Zero Intelligence to Zero Remorse ===
Fallaballa II's origin is unknown. He would participate in several Randomness events throughout 2013.
In the year 2014, he became sick & was hospitalized on planet Irk. Apparently, he was exposed to some kind of cosmic energy by accident & had a mass of it growing inside his heart. This would eventually spread to the rest of his body & seemingly kill him from the inside out. However, it also was responsible for recreating him as a super-powerful entity. He knows not where this dark power came from, but he would accept it later on. There was no more Fallaballa II, only Shadowballa.
That same year, he would travel to other worlds & befriend the supervillain named Dangerous Man. They would work together as partners in crime, searching the galaxy for whatever they wanted, whether it be money, knowledge, power, or some other fourth thing. It was during their crusades of crime when Shadowballa obtained a powerful magic wand, though it is unknown where exactly it came from. When their villainy caught the attention of the Time Police, they were trapped in a dimension called the Dead Zone, where only the most heinous of supernatural criminals be exiled to.
=== Battle with Ferronidas ===
It wasn't until August 15th, 2016 when Shadowballa & Dangerous Man would be freed from their dimensional prison. Shadowballa finally found a magic spell from a burnt, torn piece of paper they found that could be used to enchant Dangerous Man's weapon to become a key that can unlock any door. They escaped, emerging in Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda's grandfather's house, where they would meet the Archangel, Lord Ferronidas. After introducing themselves, Dangerous Man attacked Ferronidas while Shadowballa would quickly examine where they ended up, cloaking himself in invisibility so Ferronidas couldn't catch him. After Dangerous Man would fail to defeat the Archangel, Shadowballa took out his magic wand & finished what his friend started. Shadowballa had the upper hand for a brief moment, but was caught off guard by Ferronidas' Angelic Wail, followed by a lightning bolt to the chest. Shadowballa conceded & Ferronidas showed mercy. When asked about the origins of the wand, Shadowballa was adamant in not giving away any information. But the Archangel would take away the wand within the blink of an eye, prompting Shadowballa to lunge at him, only to be teleported away back to his home.
=== Joining the Legion of Shadows ===
He wouldn't make a comeback until August 22nd, 2017, when he & Dangerous Man would meet Lord Claudius Ko'Al at the Ledda Residence to talk business. After a somewhat lengthy chat, the two supervillains were ultimately hired by Claudius, who would teleport them to the Fall Residence to meet their fellow coworkers. Upon introducing himself to Stupid Handy Mandy, Shadowballa encountered another member of his species; Blueberryballa. Shadowballa claimed his superiority & fired his Lazer Vision in front of Blueberryballa's feet, prompting him to quickly run away. This gave him a good laugh. At the end of the day, it became official that Shadowballa & Dangerous Man had become two of Claudius' appointed Destroyers.

== Personality ==
As Fallaballa II, he was goofy, idiotic, & easily spooked, but as Shadowballa he's a supervillain at heart, acting only out of his own intentions. He delights in the pain & suffering of those who oppose him & would never question the option of having a battle to determine who gets to end their day victoriously. Although Shadowballa is always in it for himself, he seems to care enough about Dangerous Man to consider him as a friend, but other than that, his alliance with the other members of the Legion of Shadows is just good business. He also has much respect for Claudius, admiring the way he broke free from his royal duties & set out to conquer the Earth, & he understands that Claudius doesn't like being called a villain, while he himself revels in it, accepting that there are many different types of morality. Shadowballa also appears to have low self-esteem, as he was enraged (& likely embarrassed) when Dangerous Man told Claudius that they lost to Lord Pothead & Trixie Lulamoon.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Ultrahuman Strength: Prior to his transformation, Fallaballa II wasn't really all that strong, only being slightly above the average Human in terms of power level. But after becoming Shadowballa, his power level skyrocketed to the point where Claudius deemed him as worthy to join his team. Shadowballa has fought the likes of Ferronidas & Maniacman, & while he lost to both, he still put up a decent fight. He is strong enough to destroy a star.
Ultrahuman Speed: Shadowballa can casually move at subsonic speeds, but his attacks are much faster into the relativistic range since he was evenly matched with Maniacman. His wand, however can go far beyond lightspeed, as it was able to hit Ferronidas (even if he was holding back).
Durability: Prior to his transformation, Fallaballa II's best durability feat was having a ceramic cup smashed into bits against his head & not have a scratch on him. But after becoming Shadowballa, he could take a holy lightning bolt to the chest from Mjölnir & survive an energy shockwave from Maniacman. He is tough enough to survive a supernova.
* Toxin Immunity: Ballans are able to ingest poisonous materials without injury, as shown when Shadowballa drank from a bottle of bleach (for unknown reasons).
Ballan Physiology: The Ballans are a species nearly identical to Humans in appearance, with the exception of an external organ in the shape of a neck pillow perched atop their heads. This is called a balla, which contains a secondary brain in case their main one is damaged, stolen, or destroyed. It can easily detach & reattach to their heads at will by connecting to the electrical impulses in their main brain. Shadowballa's was white in color before he transformed, which became black afterward.
Levitation: Shadowballa can lift himself off the ground & glide around quickly.
=== Special Powers ===
Cosmic Energy Manipulation: Thanks to a freak accident, Shadowballa can manipulate cosmic energy that's stored in his heart & his Balla. 
* Bioluminescence: He focuses his cosmic energy through his eyes, & can make his red eye in particular glow red.
* Lazer Vision: He can fire a red lazer beam from his right eye, which can be fired in small dosages as a kind of warning shot.
* Crimson Death Beam: When he fires lazers from both of his eyes, they combine into a deadly attack that could blow up a planet. This beam was equal in potency to Maniacman's Shadow Beam.
Dark Magic: Shadowballa has some experience in the dark arts.
* Invisibility: He can briefly turn himself invisible, unable to be detected by most beings & an optimal ability for doing stealthy things.
* Teleportation: With the twirl of his cape, he can disappear & reappear at will. He can also teleport other people with him, & his range can transport him between planets.
* Gateway Nullification Spell: After finding a spell written on a loose piece of paper found in the Dead Zone, Shadowballa learned a spell that can allow someone to escape dimensional banishment. He used this spell to enchant Dangerous Man's Pain Train so that it could unlock any door no matter where he is. This is how they both escaped the Dead Zone & returned to the Terrachaoverse.
== Equipment ==
Magic Wand (formerly): Years ago, Shadowballa obtained a powerful wand that contains the power of stars, which he used in combat against Ferronidas. However, the Archangel was able to snatch the wand away from him, & he has never been able to get it back since.
== Weaknesses ==
While he may have escaped from death before, his source of power has now become his weakness. As shown by Ferronidas' electric powers, Shadowballa was greatly injured by a bolt of lightning aimed at the heart & fell to his knees; chest injuries are most effective against him in battle.
== Trivia ==
* His voice is inspired by Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.
