Darkforce is the name given to a negative energy that is the counterpart to the Lightforce, drawn from a dimension nicknamed the "Darkforce dimension". Some mutants can tap into this energy naturally, while normal humans may learn to call upon it magically or even technologically. Like all other negative energies, Darkforce is eay to learn but hard to control. Darkforce can have a bewildering variety of effects, and its users can control differing aspects of it, so some time passed before it became apparent that all these phenomena had a single source.
The Darkforce dimension has no formal name, no known inhabitants, and no known points of references. Its most obvious, and perhaps only, characteristic is darkness: not simply an empty place that has no light but a medium that absorbs light. This "dark matter" may only be what humans can perceive of an alien universe. Normal light sources are practically useless and magical sources have limited range and power. The same absorption applies to heat and even life essence. Those who enter the Darkforce dimension without protection feel coldness and, in time, lethargy. Prolonged exposure to Darkforce in our dimension can have the same effects.
Those who can access the Darkforce dimension typically summon the dark matter of the Darkforce dimension. It appears in this dimension as darkness but with varying consistencies. A weak field of Darkforces look like a dark mist or shadow and can become camouflage, intimidation, or a smokescreen. A medium field behaves like a thick liquid and can impede or encase an opponent. A strong field, for most purposes, acts like a solid that can form shapes or carry things.
Others use Darkforce indirectly to teleport. They open a portal around themselves into the Darkforce dimension and open another portal out that appears in a different location. The process is instantaneous, so they do not physically move through the Darkforce dimension.
Neighboring realms to the Darkforce dimension exist which have similar or familiar properties to it. The Spot draws his powers from a Spotted dimension which he accidentally cconnected to while trying to recreate Tyrone Johnson's connection to the Darkforce dimension.
