Matthew Garfield (Darko) (Voiced by Jon Hamm) He is the villain in Hendrix Linguistics, as he was part of the lab accident which gave himself powers. It turned it was himself that did it. His powers are darkness.

## Appearance

Grey Mask with Grey snood with Black gloves and Grey and Black torso suit. Red knee pads and Black boots.

## Personality

Darko is a cruel, sadistic, menacing, arrogant, and remorseless sociopath, who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, having no remorse for any of his actions. He has a brilliant mind, and his plans go to extremes to succeed. Darko abilities make him a daunting and formidable enemy and he has managed to hold his own against even the Providence.

Unlike most of Hendrix's other enemies, such as Klaus and Bill Hassler, Matthew prefers to carry out his plans himself rather than trusting his minions to do the work, instead using them for lesser duties, such as maintenance, manual labor, security, and being cannon fodder against his enemies.

## History

Matthew Garfield tested himself, with 4 other people as they went to test it as well. It turned out he did it, to override which cause an explosion in the lab, killing Scientist in a bomb. Matthew and the 3 members have survived through the lab accident..

He gained dark powers, with dark abilities as he master them as he got better with it and started to terrify most of the city. Hendrix and Doctor Hawkins is shock to see that Matthew is a Scientist that has powers. He as he goes into battle as Matthew has collecting sample from the Doctor that he stole to make his own terrifying creation. She realise that he cause the accident the lab, with Van Harden, Celeste, Reck Lofty (Radiation Man), and Vincent Cabrera (Magnetic Force). They all are apart of this. They fight against him, as light put him down because of Doctor Hawkins, as Matthew is imprisoned.

They attack the Pentagon, as Matthew will control the Pentagon, by sending army to attack the Scientist, for the project that he is going to continue as it is happening. Hendrix goes there, as his team fight 5 of the mutated people. Hendrix defeated them with his Cybernetics force, as he is sent back to jail.

Matthew wants revenge on Hendrix, as he lure Providence are doing something on another mission. Matthew uses his darkness as it nearly hurt Hendrix, as he escape with collapse. Hendrix upgraded in new Cybernetic, as Matthew is getting stronger with his powers, as his darkness getting better as a strong light will put him down. Hendrix uses his light suit, as he fights against Matthew as in a long battle. Hendrix defeated him in a hard fight, as Matthew stops as he has been sent to the Asylum.

Matthew really wants to settle old scores with other Scientist to form a Science that can destroy animals, with new Science. Hendrix, Mario and Doctor Hawkins found out that Matthew has killed these animals, as it decreased because of his experiment Science, including darkness.

Hendrix and Doctor Hawkins finds him, as some of them gains his abilities as they both destroy it with light, as Hendrix faces him again, as Doctor Hawkins assisted him to put him down and sent them to the asylum.

## Powers And Abilities

* **Darkness Manipulation**: The ability to control darkness. His powers were revealed to be a connection to the Dark Black Smoke, a dimension of primordial, quasi-sentient darkness which Matthew, as well as other characters with similar powers, can channel for various effects. Swift, perhaps due to age, seems to be the most powerful possessor of Shadowland given powers.
	+ **Darkness Teleportation**: The ability to travel great distances in short amounts of time, by traveling between Earth and the Dark Zone. This ability currently exhausts his powers and he isn't able to make these trips often. In the future, it seems he will be able to teleport freely.
	+ **Darkness Constructs**: The ability to create solid constructs out of shadows. These are limited to what he allows them to do; however, in the future, they take on a mind of their own.
	+ **Shadowland Demon Control**: The ability to summon and command demonic creatures from the Dark Zone.
	+ **Darkness Projection**: The ability to project darkness in the form of energy blasts.
	+ **Darkness Force-Field**: The ability to surround himself with a force field.

* **Darkness Mimicry:** The user is made up of or can transform their body completely into darkness/shadows. A user's transformed form is anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of darkness/shadows, in which case, it contains all organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately, the user can transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.
* **Darkness Aura**: The user can release and surround themselves in/with darkness/shadow for defensive and/or offensive purposes, possibly becoming almost untouchable. The aura may also give the user enhanced physical capabilities such as speed, strength and durability.
* **Darkness Defense:** The user possesses defensive skills that are enhanced by dark-based powers, allowing them to block, parry, dodge, etc. with the power of the darkness.

## Weaknesses

His only weakness (if it can be called such) is the fact that if he loses his shadow, he becomes vulnerable. However, this can only occur if a survivor from the same event in drains him of it, or in the event of a light strong enough to completely surround him to the point that he is unable to cast a shadow.
