6) Dark Pit
First Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo 3DS, 2012)
I know, it’s a slight cheat to throw Dark Pit in here, as he’s his own separate character, but hear me out. A flawed clone born from the Mirror of Truth, Dark Pit is the physical manifestation of Pit’s dark side. Edgier, meaner, and an antihero of sorts, Dark Pit, despite his grumblings, appears to struggle with conflicting motivations. This tug to be a hero rather than a villain speaks strongly toward Pit’s own overwhelmingly good nature, and makes Dark Pit an infinitely fascinating take on the jovial angel. It also doesn’t hurt that he looks super cool, too.
