==Summary==
Gargos is an ancient, evil and extremely powerful creature from the Astral Plane, whose only goal is endlessly extend his dominion and rule with the iron fist. As the only evil member of his kind, he was considered an outcast and his fellow Ichoriens always opposed his conquest of other dimensions, helping mortal beings in every way they could. Gargos's first attempt of conquering Earth was thwarted by Eyedol and Tusk, who were titled as champions of the gods and bestowed the power to repell the invaders. Seeking a way to increase his power and obtain revenge, Gargos ravaged the Astral Plane until he slew every single Ichorien, stealing their powers and finally crowning himself Shadow Lord. Not even his old rival Eyedol could defeat him, and eventually he too fell dead on battlefield. To prevent the incoming catastrophe, the Guardians - benevolent inhabitants of the Astral Plane - fled to other worlds and sealed the way behind them, trapping the Shadow Lord into his realm.
Gargos schemed and plotted for the centuries that came, setting events in motion and manipulating events that would lead to his return. With his powers and keeness, Gargos manipulated a number of earthlings, such as Jago and Kan-Ra, until the seal that trapped him was broken. Now free to act, Gargos attacked Earth, casting a corrupting force on the planet and scattering his forces everywhere. Setting their differences aside, heroes and villains of Earth grouped together to face the common threat and eventually seizing victory after a great war. And yet it wasn't the end for Gargos, as he survived once again and managed to retreat to his world. The final clash is only delayed, for as long as Gargos lives, the universe will not be safe.

Attack Potency: At least Multi-Continent level (Even at full strength, Jago, Kim Wu, Tusk and Aganos couldn't actually fight him on even grounds and were stated to be nowhere his equals twice. The lightnings powered by his Shadow Energy generated a continental shockwaveKiller Instinct (2013) - Shadow Lords Launch Trailer), likely Star level (Mimics claim he can . His battle with Eyedol was described to be like ). Varies with Mimics (They become progressively stronger as Gargos's influence expands, until they become as strong as their original counterpart, if not more), at most Wall level+ with Izziks and Dretchs (Can deal significant damage to the rest of the cast, but can also be easily defeated by them) 
Speed: Massivey Hypersonic Combat Speed (Much faster than Kim Wu), Varies for the Mimics, at most Massively Hypersonic Combat Speed for Izziks and Dretchs

Stamina: At least Peak Human, likely higher (Possesses huge amounts of Shadow Energy and is able to engage in battles for an extended time. Should be at least comparable, if not straight up superior, to the Guardians and the abilities they bestow on their owners)
Range: Standard Melee Range to Extended Melee Range physically, Planetary and Interdimensional with most abilities
Standard Equipment:
*Shadow Lord: An artifact that bears the same name of its master. It automatically restores half of Gargos health if he falls in battle. This effect applies only when the Shadow Lord is in Gargos's possession.
*At least one of the following artifacts:
**: Increases the strength of Gargos's attacks.
**: Gargos's attacks do full damage even if the opponent blocks them.
**: Gargos's attacks deal higher levels of damage.
**: Allows Gargos to predict the opponent's attacks and parry them, nullifying the damage. Constant barrages of attacks can make the effects of the Eye less efficient.
**: Gargos's attacks drain the opponent's Shadow Energy.
**: Gargos's attacks drain the opponent's Instinct energy.
**: Automatically restores Gargos's levels of Shadow Energy overtime.
**: Passively heals Gargos over the course of a battle.
**: Increases Gargos's maximum levels of health.
**: Extends the maximum capacity of Gargos's Instinct energy.
Optional Equipment: Any amount of the aforementioned artifacts up to all of them
Intelligence: Genius (A cunning individual with millions of years behind him. Can lead an invasion on a global scale all by himself, set events in motion that would come into fruition centuries later and several of his schemes and back-up plans have succeeded. He is always very careful and takes as many precautions as necessary before exposing himself to any risk, preferring to neutralize possible threats beforehand and without having to intervene directly. Manipulated Jago by disguising himself as the Tiger Spirit, and Kan-Ra with his telepathic abilities. Mastered the control of Shadow Energy, from which most of his powers stem. Designed his own fighting style and has experience in fighting a variety of different opponents with special abilities)
Weaknesses: His true form may be unable to interact with physical beings in a conventional way, and it might be impossible for him to either maintain an incorporeal form in the Mundane Plane or enter it at all. Warg-gram is one of the only weapons capable of causing him mortal damage.
Notes: Tusk and Gargos being stated to having been born as equals shouldn't be used to consider strength being equal as well, because such notion is contradicted by several statements and showings. It may also be a reference to how both of their most relevant powers stem from the Ichoriens. Gargos not receiving any burn from Jago's Endokuken is labeled as "possibly" due to the possibility of being simple art inconsistency.
