Mr Dark

Line 77:

==In ''[[Rayman Origins]]''==

The second trailer of [[Rayman Origins]] shows a brief glimpse of a [[Teensie]] with a top hat and a black robe, standing on a stone platform, surrounded by [[Darktoon]]s and [[Psychlops]]. Several months later, a more clear artwork of the character was released, and the official website confirmed him to be Mr Dark, stating "''The archenemy from Rayman 1 returns.''". Like [[Betilla the Fairy]] and the other returning ''Rayman'' characters, Mr Dark seems to have been redesigned somewhat for this game, and is no longer limbless. ~~Ingame~~, there are no references to Mr Dark making a plan to take over the Glade of Dreams as in previous games, as the game doesn't seem to have a fixed plot or a real main enemy. However, in the level "[[The Reveal]]", the [[Magician]] is discovered by the heroes as the ~~responsable of~~ the evil steampunk empire in the ''Moody Clouds''. He in response pulls ~~out~~ the star of his top hat, showing more clearly his ~~resamblance~~ with the artwork of Mr Dark, and possibly, revealing to have been Mr Dark the whole time and been faking a friendship with Rayman.

However, there are many issues that make unclear this possibility, as an early script of the game shows scrapped dialogues indicating that the Magician was not intended to be Mr Dark, but a fan of him, loosely pretending to be as mysterious and evil as him. It is possible that this idea was scrapped like several other material from the script, and the Magician is actually Mr Dark's alter ego. However, there are several posters in the Magician's headquarter, some with pictures of Mr Dark's silhouette, and one with a picture of a heart and the word "Mr. D" written down, suggesting that possibly the idea wasn't scrapped at all.
