Character Stats and Profiles Wiki

In the past, we have encouraged users to create new pages for powers and abilities they thought the wiki lacked. However, as of now, we want new pages to be approved by the staff, meaning that new powers and abilities pages must be suggested. This can be done in our official Discord server in the suggestion channel, or messaged to a staff member. Of course, users can always create blogs about powers and abilities to include in their profiles if they don't want to attempt creating official pages. Linking to other wikis' powers and abilities pages is also permitted.

The Overlord(Alternative ,Canon Ninjago)DezerVilka

Sign in to edit

I go by many names, but you may call me "Overlord".

My master plan has been in the works since the beginning of time. Every piece moves in perfect harmony, like the gears of the clock, slowly shifting the balance of power back to darkness. Every piece, that is, but you!

Where there is Light, there will always be Shadow.

All your existence, you've been powered by a lie. That the good guys always win. Sadly, they don't. I have the power now!

All your existence, you've been powered by a lie. That the good guys always win. Sadly, they don't. I have the power now!

I was trapped in Lord Garmadon, then I was trapped in the Digiverse. Now I am free! Bow to your Golden Master!

What was it you said to me the last time we fought, mmm? Oh, yes... It ends. Now.

Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by The First Spinjitzu Master. But you've only heard half of it. In Ninjago, there has always been balance between good and evil. So you know about how the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago, but what if I were to tell you in order for there to be light, there must be shadow, and within shadow, there is darkness. The blackest of darkness that existed from the very beginning. An evil spirit called The Overlord.

In the First Realm, only two races existed, the Oni, and the Dragons, beings who controlled creation and destruction, and who fought each other in an eternal stalemate. One day, however, a child who was born of both the Oni and the Dragon was born. This child, known as the First Spinjitzu Master, was sought by both races as a means to end the war. Seeing that the two races would never find peace and couldn't understand the balance that was necessary for existence, left the realm to create his own, which became known as Ninjago. However, as the balance dictates that a world must have both good and evil, the Overlord - the dark spirit that had always existed - emerged into the Realm. The First Spinjitzu Master and the Overlord fought tirelessly and endlessly until The Overlord created a stone army to finally kill him. Knowing that he would eventually lose, the First Spinjitzu Master split the land in two, the Overlord being sealed into The Dark Island. However, the Overlord saw the arrival of Lord Garmadon, and thus waited for the ultimate battle between good and evil. Eventually, his prediction came to pass, with Lord Garmadon being betrayed by the Serpentine and left to rot in the ocean, eventually landing on the island. Manipulating Lord Garmadon and starting the Celestial Clock's countdown, which would dictate the beginning of the battle, The Overlord tricked him into spreading darkness through the Garmatron into Ninjago, shifting the balance back to darkness and restoring his powers. Forcibly taking over Garmadon's body and regaining his true form, and proceeded to corrupt all of Ninjago. However, he was ultimately soundly defeated by Lloyd Garmadon, who had become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master and was purged from Ninjago. Unfortunately for the Ninjas, the site of his defeat was still a foothold for him to remain and allowed him to take over Borg Industries, whose headquarters were built upon it. Taking over New Ninjago City’s infrastructure and the entirety of their computer system, he began a campaign to drain Lloyd’s power in order to become the Golden Master, a legendary being of Serpentine lore who held the powers of The First Spinjitzu Master at his peak, and would be fated to enslave the world. Eventually fulfilling this role with the power of the Golden Weapons, the Overlord was defeated by Zane, who sacrificed himself to turn the Overlord’s power against himself at the cost of his own life, purging his darkness from Ninjago once more.

Origin: Ninjago

Gender: Genderless, but referred to as a male

Age: Predates time and reality

Classification: Primordial dark entity, source of all Evil and Darkness in Ninjago

Powers and Abilities:

  • Abstract Existence (Type 1 [Concept]; The Overlord is the source of Darkness and Evil in Ninjago that exist to counterbalance Light and Good)
    • Incorporeality (The Overlord is actually a spirit that acts as source of Darkness and Evil, though he needs a physical form or shell to act in the physical world)
  • Nonduality (Type 1 [Good and Evil]: The Overlord, representing darkness in a fundamental, conceptual sense for everything in existence, has the power to break The Balance between Light and Darkness without facing any negative consequences, while the duality between Light and Darkness is a fundamental system that controls how existence functions as a whole)
  • Nonexistent Physiology (Nature Type 1, Aspect Types 1, 2 & 3) & Beyond-Dimensional Existence (Type 1; The Overlord existed forever beyond the mortal plane of existence, being in the void outside of the Multiverse which predates the First Realm and Ethereal Divide and thus overall creation itself. At the same time, he is able to manifest in Ninjago in the form of a sphere, but if the Balance of good and evil is not shifted or some external factors do not help the Overlord to create a physical body, then he is still technically imprisoned outside of the reality)
  • Acausality (Types 1 & 4; The Overlord immune to time paradoxes and he is unaffected by changes through time and immune to The Cloud Kingdom, which can write the fate of people)
  • Immortality (Types 1, 3, 5 & 8; The Overlord can recreate his physical forms and vessels as evil accumulates in the world upon time. The Overlord's spirit regenerated after Golden Power attacks upon him. Moreover, he cannot actually "die" in terms of regular death like Harumi's one, but needs to be destroyed by other characters. Upon each of his defeats, he was not present in the Departed Realm, or any other afterlives in Ninjago)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Possesses thermal vision)
  • Resurrection (He is able to summon the souls of the dead to himself and either return them to their bodies, or send them to Departed Realm)
  • Possession (The Overlord can possess other beings, bodies, and even objects)
  • Technology Manipulation (The Overlord is able to enter inside computers and machines to manipulate them, and he's even able to create his own technology)
  • Genius Intelligence (The Overlord planned to act for thousands of years, predicting Lord Garmadon's arrival, even outsmarting, tricking and abusing the latter. The Overlord was also able to perfectly understand and use Cyrus Borg's technology and the Digiverse)

Standard Equipment:

  • The Helmet of Shadows: A special helmet built by the Overlord to control the Stone Army. The latter will, in fact, obey anyone who wears it.
  • The Garmatron: A large machine built by The Stone Army to help the Overlord to take over Ninjago. It can shoot Dark Matter shells. Dark Matter is the essence of the Overlord himself, and even in microscopic quantities, it can cause hallucinations of evil and completely corrupt even the purest of person, filling them with rage and bringing them to insanity, becoming in the process a servant of the Overlord. Dark Matter can quickly spread into the air if it's released, and it is extremely dangerous, especially in large quantities: in addition, The Overlord can reach his Final Form when enough people have been corrupted by Dark Matter. The Overlord can also turn the Garmatron itself into a fortress.
  • The Golden Spider-Mech: A giant mech with three legs. It was built by the Overlord using the Golden Weapons and the Mega Weapon. With it, the Golden Master can freely move around, jump, and use both his powers and that of the legendary weapons.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (The Overlord is an extremely ancient being, that is very knowledgeable about Darkness and Evil, as well as the Balance itself. He created the invulnerable Stone Army, which was unaffected by the First Spinjitzu Master's powers until the latter used the Elemental Blade, as well as various other war machines and weapons. He predicted Lord Garmadon's arrival to the Dark Island, and the final battle, planning how to conquer Ninjago for thousands of years. He tricked and manipulated Lord Garmadon into helping him at taking over Ninjago. After being defeated by Lloyd Garmadon, he entered inside the Borg Tower's computer and hacked and completely took over the Digiverse, an entirely digital realm that expands throughout all of New Ninjago City and is connected to all of its technologies. He wasn't outsmarted by Cyrus Borg and created an entire army of Nindroid Warriors using Zane's project. He also created technologies and devices to extract and absorb Golden Power, even directly from Lloyd Garmadon, and used this power to create a new body with all the latter's and the First Spinjitzu Master's powers. He even used the Golden Weapons and the Mega Weapon to create a giant Golden Spider-Mech from himself.)

Weaknesses: Golden Power is the Overlord's main weakness: it can easily match, if not overpower his Darkness, and can completely nullify the properties of Dark Matter. While he is extremely hard to get rid of, the Overlord cannot regenerate his body, and he needs a body or vessel to actually fight: because of this, he can be potentially expelled from a body (by its destruction or by directly removing him from it) and/or sealed (check Note for more info). After transforming into his True Form, he may lose the Helmet of Shadows: if another person wears it, the latter will take full control of the Stone Army.

Feats:

  • Fought the First Spinjitzu Master and almost defeated him with the Stone Army.
  • Created the Stone Army, which was immune to the First Spinjitzu Master's powers, until the latter used the Elemental Blade.
  • Created the Celestial Clock and predicted Lord Garmadon's arrival to the Dark Island.
  • Possessed Lord Garmadon and overpowered Post-Awakening Lloyd Garmadon.
  • Easily took over all of Ninjago and its inhabitants.
  • In his Final Form, he briefly fought the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master, though he was outmatched.
  • Took over the entire Digiverse.
  • Created the Nindroid Warriors and various other devices capable of absorbing Lloyd Garmadon's Golden Power.
  • Created the Golden Armor with Lloyd Garmadon's powers.
  • Used the Golden Weapons and the Mega Weapon to create the Golden Spider-Mech.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Darkness: The Darkness is not a regular Elemental Power, but actually Elemental Essence: naturally, it's stronger than other Elemental Powers, and it can be used in a variety of ways, such as creating energy beams, controlling shadows and darkness, etcetera. Like any Elemental Power/Essence, the user is able to harm immaterial beings, like the Ghosts from the Cursed Realm.
  • Dark Matter: Dark Matter is the essence of the Overlord himself: even in microscopic quantities, it can cause hallucinations of evil and completely corrupt even the purest of person, filling them with rage and bringing them to insanity, becoming in the process a servant of the Overlord. Dark Matter can quickly spread into the air if it's released, and it is extremely dangerous, especially in large quantities: in addition, The Overlord can reach his Final Form when enough people have been corrupted by Dark Matter. In his True Form, the Overlord can produce an immense amount of Dark matter all around his body, and even by breathing, which makes it difficult to fight him. The Overlord also altered its powers and properties by refining it, making it a nigh-indestructible substance, which he used to create the Stone Army.
  • Possession: The Overlord can possess a person to make them his new body. This process, other than greatly mutating the host's body, it also vastly amplifies their original strength, and the Overlord gains new abilities by possessing them, mainly the one the host has: as such, the Overlord possesses all the powers of Lord Garmadon. By corrupting enough people with Dark Matter, the Overlord can evolve his possessed body to his Final/True Form.
  • Absolute Darkness: A special attack of the Overlord's Final Form: it consists of surrounding his opponent into a giant sphere of complete darkness. The sphere's inside is much larger than it looks from the outside. In this space, the Overlord can make his head grow so much to the point of being able to completely eat or swallowing his opponent.
  • Digital Hacking: The Overlord can enter inside computers, machines, networks and even entire digital realms like the Digiverse, being able to hack them and to take them over.
  • Golden Power: As the Golden Master, the Overlord could control the most powerful Element and the true essence of the First Spinjitzu Master. This power can be used in a variety of ways, such as creating things out of nowhere (even entire Realms), shaping, manipulating and controlling matter and other objects, altering reality to the user's will and being able to destroy darkness and evil, negating the effects of Dark matter and being completely immune to them. it can also be used to summon an Elemental Golden Dragon.
    • Elemental Powers: As he possesses all of the First Spinjitzu Master's and the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master's powers, the Golden Master possesses all the other Elemental Powers and Essences: Fire, Lightning, Earth, Ice, Energy, Water, Wind, Metal, Mind, Gravity, Speed, Nature, Light, Smoke, Shadow, Poison, Form, Amber, Sound, Time, Creation and Destruction.

Notes:

  • The Overlord's regeneration does not apply to whatever physical form he has (except Crystal King form), in fact, while he can come back after being destroyed in its Spirit Form, he cannot regenerate a body: for example, he would be able to regenerate from an attack that would destroy his spirit and body, but only his soul would return. His spirit, however, does have multiple powers as well to regain physical form, so it is not necessarily an incapacitating blow.
  • Additionally, contrary to popular belief, The Overlord was not destroyed at the end of Rebooted and is still considered to be alive by Word of God, with his current status being the official reason for his absence from the Departed Realm and those resurrected by The Yin Blade.
