Dark Phantom

Dark Phantom, known as Phantom Black in Japan, is the result of the combination of the terrible artist Hyde and the UMA Phantom.

MegaMan Star Force
In the game, he works for Dr. Vega, with a job of distributing UMA to those who seek their power. He also kidnaps Luna Platz near the start of the game, whilst terrorizing Wilshire Hills by materializing ghosts. Dark Phantom later kidnaps Luna again, invoking memory data of Ophiuca to forcibly Wave Change her to Queen Ophiuca.

Eventually, it is revealed that he plans to turn against Dr. Vega, and take over the world himself. He is then quickly disposed of, with Dr. Vega referring to him as a "parasite".

In the third game, Dark Phantom appears once again, and assaults the WAXA main computer. His motives are still unknown pehaps it was to get revenge or he was hired by the Dealers or just to cause trouble.

Abilities

 * Phantom Illusion : On occasion, when the player attempts to attack Dark Phantom (except while he is attacking), Dark Phantom will phase out, avoiding damage from the attack. He often follows up with an attack of his own afterwards.
 * Stick Sword : Dark Phantom attacks the player at his current position using his stick. Later versions have him attempt this twice if the first blow misses.
 * Phantom Claw : Dark Phantom sends out a black hand from his chest, which breaks and pierces Invis.
 * Phantom Slash : Dark Phantom moves up next to the player and performs a multi-hit wind attack that hits all panels around him. This removes Barriers and Auras, and must be blocked.
 * Dark Hand : In the third game, on occasion a hand will emerge from a vacant panel and attack the player.

Shooting Star Rockman Tribe
Dark Phantom is first seen fighting with Yeti Blizzard over the OOPArt, the Sword of Berserk. After Omega-Xis accidentally swallows it, and Geo being enlisted to travel the world in search of the other two OOPArts, Dark Phantom is repeatedly seen tailing MegaMan, attempting to take the OOPArt for himself.

In Egypt, he enters a pyramid rumoured to contain an OOPArt, and while searching the pyramid, he encounters MegaMan. However, the Sword of Berserk is beyond MegaMan's control, so although MegaMan unintentionally invokes his Zerker Tribe, he is forced to abandon the fight to cancel Wave Change. Dark Phantom proceeds to search the pyramid, but all his effors were in vain.

Later, at a ninja training school, Hyde joins the school (with Rich Dotcom, and they search it for the OOPArt. Both of them eventually get discovered and Wave Change, and in the end they find the OOPArt. However, MegaMan and Rogue are on the scene too. In the midst of the chaos, Dark Phantom claims the Shinobi Shuriken for himself, joining a three-way struggle between MegaMan, Yeti Blizzard, and himself for each other's OOPArt.

Whilst running an art class, Hyde discovers MegaMan's true identity, and takes Hope Stelar, who happens to be nearby, hostage, and lures MegaMan. Although Harp Note joins the fight, the fear that they will hurt Hope results in MegaMan and Harp Note being unable to properly fight him. As Dark Phantom prepares to finish MegaMan off, he is interrupted by Yeti Blizzard's appearance, who reminds him that he's still after Phantom's OOPArt. However, Hollow ends up forcibly extracting the OOPArt from the both of them.

Dark Phantom eventually follows Dr. Vega to the Mu continent, being promised eternal life. He assists in the ritual for Le Mu's revival. However, as Le Mu begins to regain its strength, he escapes from Mu. Hyde is currently still at large.
