Crooked Energy

The **Crooked Energy** aka Crooked Man is the main antagonist of Raising Dion. It is an evil entity able to possess and manipulate Powered and Non-Powered people.

The Crooked Energy first surfaced after the Aurora Event possessing Pat Rollins. The first time he ever used Crooked Energy was Kerry Phillips after she used her pyrokinetic powers to set him on fire. Then, The Crooked Energy was finally revealed in Pat's form, killing and absorbing her.

## Appearances

#### Season 1

Throughout most of Season 1, Pat is thus is possessed by the Crooked Energy, which grants him the power to transform into a giant made of lightning, but is also causing him great pain and slowly kills him; a process he can only halt by absorbing other superpowered people. It is left ambiguous how much Pat is aware that his powers come from a living, separate entity, since he never talks to the Crooked Energy. At the end of the season, Dion and Nicole are able to defeat Pat as the Crooked Man, which fragments and dispels the Crooked Energy, with only a little bit of it remaining in Pat.

The majority of the Crooked Energy manages to track down and possess Brayden Mills, and uses the boy to regain his strength. Unlike Pat, the energy does not possess Brayden all the time, and Brayden is fully aware that the energy is a separate entity, which he frequently talks with. Over the next two years, the energy gradually grows stronger and corrupts Brayden. It makes him mind control a couple named Cindy and Joe into driving him to Atlanta, and take revenge on Dion. Not wanting to confront Dion alone a second time, the Crooked Energy used a Sinkhole and the negative energies it contained to grow a glowing plant, that could infect people with parasitic spores and turn them into plant monsters to form an army.

#### Season 2

When Brayden visits Pat in his cell at Biona, Pat tries to warn the boy how the energy amplifies all the hosts negative emotions like anger and jealousy. Eventually, the energy grows strong enough to fully take over Brayden.

At the ending of Season 2, after being defeated by Dion, Nicole, Tevin, Janelle, and with Brayden rejecting the energy with Nicole's help, the energy first tried to use the plant in the sinkhole to continue and replicate the infection, but this was stopped by Dion who killed the plant with a serum made by Biona. Without a host and having lost again, the energy sought out Pat, who by now had given up trying to be good and had given himself superpowers with help of P-DNA. Pat accepted the Crooked Energy back, making him the Crooked Man once more.
