Dark Pit, nicknamed Pittoo, is a major character in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He is a clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth, a magical mirror capable of duplicating anything that stands before it, creating an identical copy in nature. 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.

== Physical Appearance == Dark Pit, a clone of Pit, stands at approximately 160 cm (5'3") tall, making them essentially the same height. He is portrayed as a young teenager with narrowed red eyes and short black hair. His outfit consists of a black chiton adorned with purple and gold trimmings, which is secured at the shoulder by a golden fibula featuring a purple gem in the center. Around his waist, he wears a purple belt with gold lining along the edges and a gold triangular buckle.

Underneath the chiton, Dark Pit has black tights trimmed with gold. His look is further enhanced by black and gold cuffs around his forearms, along with singular gold rings on his upper left arm and right thigh. On his feet, he sports black sandals embellished with crossing gold bands, topped off with gray fur.

Except for the color of his clothing, Dark Pit's appearance is nearly identical to that of Pit. However, while Pit's wings are rounder and fuller, Dark Pit's wings are more stylized and narrower. This distinction is noticeable in official artwork, although it is not emphasized in any of his in-game models.

== Personality == Dark Pit is the physical manifestation of Pit's dark side and represents the repressed feelings that Pit keeps hidden. He is significantly more serious than his jovial counterpart, often exhibiting a drier sense of humor. Dark Pit is also more arrogant and cocky, claiming to be the original Pit. Additionally, he is more aggressive and pragmatic, often attacking opponents when they are off guard. Dark Pit is sharper than Pit and possesses more common sense, as demonstrated by his deduction that it would require more than one soul to create a monster from the Underworld.

One of Dark Pit's most notable traits is his independent streak. After the Mirror of Truth was destroyed before the process could be completed, Dark Pit became a neutral character, refusing to align with any of the gods. This is evident when he defies Pandora and outright rejects Medusa’s offer of an alliance. He even calls out the gods for their selfishness, arguing that they are no better than humans, as their wars disrupt the balance of the world. This statement angers Viridi, while Palutena admits there might be some truth to it.

During the Chaos Kin arc, Dark Pit’s personality begins to change progressively. Once he realizes that his life is directly connected to Pit’s, he becomes one of Pit’s closest allies, fighting alongside him to rescue Palutena’s soul. When Pit sacrifices himself to save Dark Pit, he becomes determined to save Pit at all costs, though his motivations may be partially selfish, wanting to preserve his own life. Dark Pit seems to care for Pit, yet remains belligerent toward him, resulting in a somewhat complex relationship between the two.

== Trivia ==

• Dark Pit continues Nintendo's tradition of creating doppelgängers, joining a roster that includes characters like Shadow Mario, Dark Link, Shadow Link, Metal Mario, Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi, Dark Samus, The SA-X, Dark Bowser, Dark Meta Knight, Phantom Ganon, Pseudo-Palutena, Shadow Kirby, Shadow Pit, and Blood Falcon. However, unlike Shadow Kirby, Dark Pit is not evil. In contrast to the more simplistic characters like Dark Link and Dark Samus, Dark Pit possesses a fully developed personality.
• Dark Pit's design is likely inspired by Pit's "fallen angel" alternate costume from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as their color palettes are very similar.
• His weapon of choice appears to be the Silver Bow, which he is seen using more frequently than any other weapon.
• The Silver Bow is a prototype (and therefore incomplete) version of the Palutena Bow, which is Pit's signature weapon. This reflects the fact that Dark Pit is a flawed clone of Pit.
• Some weapon Idols depict Dark Pit using various weapons, such as the Leo Cannon or Samurai Blade. Ironically, the idol for his weapon of choice, the Silver Bow, does not show him wielding it; instead, he is seen holding the Dark Pit Staff in the idol's artwork.
• Dark Pit is one of only two characters in Kid Icarus: Uprising who have served as an ally, boss, and playable character, the other being Magnus.
• Unlike Magnus, Dark Pit appears as a mini-boss in the game, making him the only character to hold this distinction.
• Additionally, Dark Pit is the only character besides Pit who is playable for an entire chapter, while Magnus is not playable after the boss battle.
• It is plausible that Dark Pit's creation might be influenced by Sonic Adventure 2, as Sonic has once called Shadow a "faker"- a copy or clone of him.
