~ Dark Pit after absorbing Pandora's powers |
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: Unknown academically (Although he is a copy of Pit who is seen as uneducated by the other gods, Dark Pit is far more serious and acts less naïve than Pit), At least Genius, likely higher (Being a copy of the original Pit, he is just as skilled in combat as he is)
Standard Tactics:
As a clone of Pit, he uses the same strategies only without the five minute restraint on his flight. He will keep a safe distance and overwhelm his opponents while additionally using the environment around him to his advantage.
Dark Pit will use the Lightning Chariot's speed to blitz his opponents and travel through space and time as a means to gain some distance from the opponent. Additionally, the Lightning Chariot has projectiles it can fire if they are matched in speed by the foe.
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: Saving and loading in Kid Icarus can be active once characters get a game over, or wish to return to prior points in the timeline. Saving has been mentioned by several major characters. If the game ends for the current playable character, they can simply come back. A "game over" doesn't only stop at a death. A game over can also be the characters making the wrong choices, getting trapped in a separate universe, possessed, and incapacitation (such as falling forever in an endless void or left completely helpless). This ability can be used passively and across multiple incarnations of the characters. Do also note that a player canonically exists, so saving and loading is not a stretch.
Note 3: 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 (As an angel, it is his duty to serve the gods/goddesses). He otherwise has the same physical stats and powers as the regular Pit and is regarded as such by the gods.
