Article on Icaruspedia Dark Pit

Dark Pit, known as Black Pit in Japan (ブラックピット, Burakku Pitto), is a character from the Kid Icarus series. He is Pit's rival who was created after he destroyed the Mirror of Truth. He is almost physically identical to Pit, but wears a black outfit, has black hair and red eyes. He also has a more serious and aggressive personality.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

One of Pit's palette swap in this game is a black colored Pit described on Smash Bros. DOJO as a "fallen angel".[1] However, since Brawl predates the first appearance of Dark Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising, it is possible this design inspired the development of Uprising, especially since both games are directed by Masahiro Sakurai (who redesigned Pit and Palutena in Brawl).

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Dark Pit briefly appeared at the end of Palutena's reveal trailer and in the background of her promotional poster, and turned out to be a playable character. He functions mostly as a clone of Pit.
