Background

Dark Pit (ブラックピット) is a major character in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He is the flawed, incomplete clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. He serves as a rival to Pit, clashing with him multiple times throughout the game. He is currently an officer in the Forces of Nature.

Dark Pit first started out hating Pit for ripping off his look, but later learned of the great war and malice the gods were causing and put his differences aside and fought alongside Pit to ensure light prevails against darkness. Afterwards, he returns to being a rival towards Pit.

Prior to the Rewind Spring, Dark Pit actually had the capability of flying without any restrictions due to absorbing Pandora's remaining power.

Standard Equipment: Blades, Staffs, Claws, Bows, Palms, Clubs, Cannons, Orbitars, Arms, Pandora's powers, and the Lightning Chariot

Intelligence: At least Genius (Being a copy of the original Pit, he is just as skilled in combat as he is. Out of the two, Dark Pit is far more serious and acts less naive than Pit)

Standard Tactics: Dark Pit prefers to keep in the air using ranged weapons from afar and occasionally using massive AoE attacks | He uses the Lightning Chariot to ram through things, tearing space and time in the process

Weaknesses: Being a copy of Pit, he shares most of the same flaws as him. Unlike Pit, he can fly without restriction while in possession of Pandora's powers | None Notable

Key: Pre-Timeskip | Post-Timeskip | Lightning Chariot

Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co's abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshed it out.

Note 2: Despite Dark Pit being regarded as an imperfect copy of Pit, this only refers to his refusal to join the Underworld army or side with Pit during Medusa's invasion. He otherwise has the same physical stats and powers as the regular Pit and is regarded as such by the gods.

Note 3: Although Viridi hasn't shown the full extent of her capabilities, she states that she can do everything Palutena can and better. While the full claim can be seen as hyperbole, she does show to have a lot of the same capabilities of Palutena and provides Pit and Dark Pit with the same equipment as Palutena, so their powers and blessings shouldn't be any different.
