Darkwing

Origin

The original Darkwing was a hero with no powers. He was a member of the Guardians of the Globe and had a sidekick. When Darkwing was killed by Omni-Man, his sidekick became the new Darkwing. This Darkwing had powers that let him enter a completely black realm called the “shadowverse” by walking into shadows. He could use this to approximate teleportation or to trap enemies inside it. He wasn’t as good as his predecessor in any sense. He wasn’t on his level in fighting ability or in moral fiber. Instead of protecting his city, he became its dictator. Invincible had to be called in to stop him.
