'''Mr Dark''' is [[Rayman]]'s arch-nemesis, and a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. A diabolical and mysterious shape-shifting sorcerer, Mr Dark has attempted to disrupt the balance of [[the Glade of Dreams]] on several occasions, but is always thwarted by Rayman. He usually hides beneath a shadowy cloak and hat. His first appearance is as the main antagonist and final boss in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. He is encountered in [[Mr Dark's Dare]], the first and only level of the [[Candy Château]], which is the last of the game's six worlds. He is a mysterious being that steals [[the Great Protoon]] because of its immense power, causing the world to lose its natural stability. He also uses his powers to defeat [[Betilla the Fairy]], who tries to defend the Great Protoon but is overpowered. At a later point of the game, Mr Dark kidnaps her and traps her in a crystal ball. Mr Dark also makes a significant appearance in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', an educational spin-off of the original game. Although is unclear if Mr Dark made a direct appearance in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', his identity as a villain takes a major role at the end of the game in [[The Reveal]].

The second trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' shows a brief glimpse of a [[Teensie]] with a top hat and a dark cloak, standing on a stone platform, surrounded by [[Darktoon]]s and [[Psychlops]]. Several months later, clearer artwork of the character was released, and the official website indicated that he was Mr Dark, stating that ‘The archenemy from Rayman 1 returns’. However, the same section of the site also claims that [[Soldier]]s and [[piranha]]s are in the game, which is not correct; the game's final manual contains an updated version of the same information, and makes no mention of Soldiers, piranhas or Mr Dark. Other than that, the game itself contains no references to Mr Dark making a plan to take over [[the Glade of Dreams]] as in previous games, as the game does not seem to have a fixed plot or a real villain. However, in the level '[[The Reveal]]', the heroes discover that [[the Magician]] is the one responsible for the evil steampunk empire of the [[Moody Clouds]]. A diagram on the wall explains that he has been collecting the heroes' [[Lum]]s throughout the game and using them to power his machines. In response to his cover being blown, the Magician rips the golden star off his top hat, showing more clearly his resemblance with the artwork of Mr Dark. This scene has led to much confusion among players, some of whom interpret it as Mr Dark revealing that he has been disguising himself as the Magician.
