Ugh, why did they make Dark Pit just sell out like that? Making him work for someone is just silly.

[[Dark Pit]], known in Japan as '''Black Pit''' (ブラックピット ''Burakku Pitto''), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Dark Pit is a doppelgänger of Pit and his arch-rival, created after Pit destroyed the [[Mirror of Truth]]. He is nicknamed "Pittoo" (in English releases), "Tip" (in some European releases) or "BlaPi" (in Japanese releases) by [[Palutena]] and [[Pit]]. At first, he serves as an enemy to Pit and picks fights with him multiple times, but eventually allies with his light counterpart in later parts of the game. Dark Pit can also be known as "Fallen Angel Pit"<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html</ref>. "Kuro" or "Kuro Pit" is also a popular nickname among fans ("Kuro" being the Japanese word for Black). | [[Dark Pit]], known in Japan as '''Black Pit''' (ブラックピット ''Burakku Pitto''), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.

He is later shown to have a dry sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". Also similarly to his light counterpart, he seems to enjoy playing other Nintendo games, as he mentioned ''[[wikipedia:Brain Age|Brain Age]]'' at one point. However, unlike Pit, he is quite sharp and bright, seeing things from a third party view due to his lack of affiliation with any of the gods. This is shown when he accuses all the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are powerful omnipotent figures. | He is later shown to have a dry sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry".

Dark Pit also does seem to have a sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that the [[Hades|Underworld god]] has been using souls to craft his [[Underworld Army]], and he agrees that the evil deity needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with the goddess of light, he does seem to care about Palutena, as he aids in rescuing her from the [[Chaos Kin]], and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them. | Dark Pit also does seem to have a sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense.

In the very least, he likely does come to trust Pit, calling out for help from him when he ends up caught by the Chaos Kin. | In the very least, he likely does come to trust Pit, calling out for help from him when he ends up caught by the Chaos Kin. | ||

The doppelgänger angel is later seen using the Lightning Chariot again, and saves Pit from Hades after he manages to defeat [[Hades' Heart]] in ''[[Lord of the Underworld]]''. In the [[Chapter 25|final chapter]], the dark angel flies past his lighter twin after the defeat of Hades, and appears to be using Palutena's power of flight as Pit was using Viridi's. He flies behind Pit but doesn't say anything, instead, gives a small genuine smile before flying off to another direction. | The doppelgänger angel is later seen using the Lightning Chariot again, and saves Pit from Hades after he manages to defeat [[Hades' Heart]] in ''[[Lord of the Underworld]]''.

Dark Pit is a [[smashwiki:clone|clone]] of [[Pit]], and uses his [[Silver Bow]] as his main weapon, but has a few minor differences, such as his [[smashwiki:side special|side special]], which is the [[Electroshock Arm]]. Despite his render depicting him wielding his [[Dark Pit Staff]], he only uses it for one move—his [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]]. He also has an unique victory fanfare which takes tunes from his iconic theme song. In the complete roster, Dark Pit's slot is placed between [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario|Dr. Mario]] and [[fireemblemwiki:Lucina|Lucina]], instead of next to his fellow ''Kid Icarus'' comrades, this is likely due to the fact that Dark Pit originally was just an alternate costume for Pit who was later turned to his own character, just like Dr. Mario and Lucina.<ref>http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/10/10/super-smash-bros-for-wii-u-director-has-harsh-words-for-clone-critics/</ref> | Dark Pit is a [[smashwiki:clone|clone]] of [[Pit]], and uses his [[Silver Bow]] as his main weapon, but has a few minor differences, such as his [[smashwiki:side special|side special]], which is the [[Electroshock Arm]].

In [[Palutena's Guidance]], Dark Pit reveals that some point afterwards the events of ''Uprising'', he joined the ranks of the [[Forces of Nature]] as an officer. According to him, he and Viridi had "interests that overlap", likely meaning that both of them are interested in taking Pit down. This would also mean that Dark Pit is still rivals with his lighter half, despite them allying together to defeat Hades and knowing that the two share a bond. | |||
