Dark Phantom, known as Phantom Black (ファントム・ブラック Fantomu Burakku) in Japan, is an antagonist in Mega Man Star Force 2 and 3. The EM Wave Change of Hyde and the UMA Phantom, Dark Phantom served under Dr. Vega before her defeat where he strikes out on his own and pesters Mega Man on his missions.

Game History[]

Mega Man Star Force 2[]

Dark Phantom works for Dr. Vega, with the 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 EM 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 Rogue referring to him as a "parasite". He is then knocked out by Hollow after he and Rogue fought. He was also the only one of the four main bosses to actually retain his wave change with his user, the rest of the UMAs possessing Murians to assume their forms.

During the Apollo Flame sidequest, it was an alternate version of Dark Phantom that has tricked Mega Man into opening a portal towards the Alternate Dimension and Geo's world. He is the second boss the player has to beat before taking on the seven warriors protecting Apollo Flame.

Mega Man Star Force 3[]

Dark Phantom appears once again, and assaults the WAZA main computer, but he is not part of Dealer. He seemed to have been driven insane, only lusting for revenge for being defeated and losing the power of Mu. To that end, he attempts to acquire the Noise Change program in Mega Man by holding Zack Temple and Dr. Goodall hostage. When Harp Note and Taurus Fire step up to fight him, his plan falls apart and he retreats into WAZA's computers, where Mega Man follows and fights him. After being defeated by Mega Man once again, the shock caused him to step backwards one too many times, falling off the Wave Road of the WAZA main computer's CyberCore. Though Omega-Xis thought this may not be the last time they will see him.

Abilities[]

  • 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 (ステッキソード) - Dark Phantom attacks the player at his current position using his stick. Later versions have him attempt this many times if the first blow misses, but never exceed 3 times.
  • Phantom Claw (ファントムクロー) - Dark Phantom sends out a black hand from his chest, which breaks and pierces Invis.
  • Phantom Slash (ファントムスラッシュ) - 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.
  • Evil Claw (イービルクロー) - In the third game, on occasion a hand will emerge from a vacant panel and attack the player.

Shooting Star Rockman Tribe[]

Phantom Black is first seen fighting with Yeti Blizzard over the OOPArt, the Sword of Berserk. After Warrock accidentally swallows it, and Subaru being enlisted to travel the world in search of the other two OOPArts, Phantom Black is repeatedly seen tailing Rockman, attempting to take the OOPArt for himself.

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

Later, at a ninja training school, Hyde joins the school with Gori Monjirō, 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, Rockman and Burai are on the scene too. In the midst of the chaos, Phantom Black claims the Shinobi Shuriken for himself, joining a three-way struggle between Rockman, Yeti Blizzard, and himself for each other's OOPArt.

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

Phantom Black eventually follows Doctor Orihime 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.
