15	-> ''"But a funny thing happened. As I worked on the mask, I found the man inside was changing. He became...[[FallenHero wrong]]. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters A monster]]. I can live with it now, but I don't think anyone else can."''
16
17	The eponymous hero, Darkman was once Dr. Peyton Westlake, a brilliant scientist working to develop the perfect synthetic skin to replace skin graph procedures. Everything changed when his laboratory was raided by gangsters working to recover an incriminating document and ended up horribly mutilated and left for dead. Surviving his injuries, he returned as a vigilante and uses his scientific achievements to help him get revenge on the people who ruined his life.
18	----
19	* NinetiesAntiHero: One of the earliest examples outside of comics, [[UnbuiltTrope before many of this trope's more ubiquitous characteristics had taken hold]]. Darkman made his debut at the beginning of the decade, is CoveredInScars, has a one-word name that used to be reserved for villains, uses lethal force on his opponents regardless of necessity, and generally acts more like a "classic movie monster who only kills bad people" than an actual superhero.
20	* AntiHero: [[UnscrupulousHero He can and will be extremely ruthless]] but struggles to [[PragmaticHero put the total good of everyone in the city]] over his own revenge. He goes after mobsters and criminals, enjoying the suffering he is giving them. Also while he will never harm innocent people, his unstoppable rage doesn't stop him from breaking the fingers of an Asshole Carny while incognito.
21	* ArchEnemy: Robert G. Durant, the thug who disfigured him.
22	* AxCrazy: Peyton is completely nuts, to put it lightly. While he tries to keep his vicious brutality focused on criminals, he has hurt innocent (though massive {{Jerkass}}es) people due to his mood swings.
23	* BadassBookworm: As a scientist, he makes strategies for his attacks on Durant and his gang and is able to physically overpower thugs with his enhanced physiology.
24	* BadassLongcoat: He finds it in the trash, but it is no less badass.
25	* BandagedFace: His heavily burned face is covered in bandages and gauze to hide his identity and prevent further harm.
26	* BerserkButton: Don't call Darkman a "freak", try to cheat him out of a carnival prize, or as noted below, the surgery that keeps his burns from being unbearably painful had the side effect of giving him ''a lot'' of these.
27	* BlessedWithSuck: The treatment that cut off his pain, allows him to be super strong and tough, but also makes him prone to severe mood swings.
28	** CursedWithAwesome: However, he does possess superhuman strength, durability, and agility caused by the surgery. Once he was able to adapt to the surgery procedure, he was able to kick a lot of ass and escape mostly without injury.
29	* CoatHatMask: Well, more accurately: Coat, Hat, Bandages.
30	* CompositeCharacter: Of Radio/TheShadow and ComicBook/UnknownSoldier mixed with Franchise/UniversalHorror characters.
31	* TheCowl: Works in the shadows, as smart as he is ruthless, and never stays for a "thank you".
32	* DarkIsNotEvil: While not in disguise, dresses entirely in black, yet he is the hero... [[NinetiesAntiHero sort of]].
33	* DisabilitySuperpower: Indirectly invoked -- Westlake didn't get his powers from the explosion, but as a side-effect of the doctors' attempts to treat him.
34	* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler:He could have, but chooses not to in the end.]]
35	* DoesntLikeGuns: Subverted. He prefers to use science and his strength, but doesn't have any hard rule against guns. When he does use them, it's for show. [[spoiler:[[BatmanGrabsAGun However, that doesn't exclude the fact he does murder Skip with his own fake machine gun leg in the novelization of the first film]].]]
36	* {{Expy}}: He’s basically the ComicBook/UnknownSoldier [[RecycledInSpace created in the 90's]]. He also takes after the monsters of Universal's early days, particularly the Phantom of the Opera (who he's explicitly likened to in the second movie) and the Invisible Man.
37	* EyesAreUnbreakable: Despite being caught in an explosion and repeatedly dipped head-first in a big vat of acid, his eyes are completely unharmed.
38	* FacialHorror: His face is disfigured beyond recognition following Durant's attack on his lab.
39	* FallenHero: Peyton goes over the course of the movie from a brilliant, friendly, mild mannered scientist to a mentally unstable AntiHero VigilanteMan who succumbs to HeWhoFightsMonsters.
40	* FedoraOfAsskicking: His iconic black hat.
41	* FeelNoPain: The nerve endings connected to his skin were severed, rendering him incapable of feeling pain.
42	* {{Fingore}}: Snaps a {{Jerkass}} carnies fingers like nothing.
43	* FriendToAllChildren:
44	** In ''Return of Durant'', it is shown that while Darkman prefers to be alone, he doesn't mind giving back a basketball to a kid that lost it.
45	** While he hates Rooker in ''Die Darkman Die'', he doesn't take it out on his wife or child. In fact, he went out of his way to protect them. [[spoiler:In the end, he actually sacrifices the only stable synthetic skin to fix the kid's face when he could have used it on himself.]]
46	* GeniusBruiser: He's a brilliant scientist and gains superhuman strength through his surgery.
47	* GoodIsNotNice: He's indeed a good person who cares about innocents' well being but he's also a very brutal VigilanteMan.
48	* GoodLipsEvilJaws: Zigzagged. He's a pretty violent AntiHero, and his teeth are exposed because his lips were burnt off.
49	* TheGrotesque: He lost his entire life and most of his face after the accident, leading him down the path to becoming "Darkman".
50	* HairTriggerTemper: Due to his amplified emotions, he can get real mad real quick. One scene in the first movie has him breaking a carny's fingers because he refused to give a prize for winning a game.
51	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He is the first superhero to admit that he would end up like that, and by the end, ultimately does. The scene where [[spoiler:Pauly has been killed, he's sitting on top of a building saying "What have I become? What have I become?"]]
52	* ImmunityDisability: The destruction of his nerve endings allows him to FeelNoPain... but has also cost him his sense of touch.
53	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Thanks to his adrenaline rush, he is not only strong, but has excellent aim. As proven when, during a minor bout of stress, he managed to win a carnival game with the baseball during the first film.
54	* ItsNotYouItsMe: At the end of the first film, he [[spoiler:chooses not to return to his old life and renew his relationship with Julie, stating that he's changed on the inside as well and cannot subject anyone to his new vicious nature]].
55	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s become violent, unhinged and downright ruthless, but he cares about innocents and tries not to hurt them.
56	* KindheartedCatLover: Darkman usually has a stray cat living with him which was at first intimidated by him 'cause his terrifying appareance but then it started to bond with him.
57	* LargeHam: "JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" and "SEE THE DANCING FREAK! ONLY 5 BUCKS! STEP UP AND SEE THE DANCING FREAK, JUST 5 BUCKS!"
58	* MadeOfIron: Darkman ''can'' get hurt, but since he's lost all sense of touch, tends to ignore it.
59	* ManipulativeBastard: In the first movie, he was able to fool Durant and his cronies into believing Pauly stole their money. In the second movie, Durant caught on to his disguise trick. However, rather than it giving him an advantage, it made Durant paranoid that any of the mooks could be Darkman. He went as far as tugging a guy's face to make sure he wasn't Peyton.
60	* MaskingTheDeformity: He does this thanks to some horrible burns, but the material he uses for his synthetic mask disintegrates if exposed to sunlight too long.
61	* MasterOfDisguise: Slowly became one over the course the first ''Darkman'', but more or less perfected it by ''Return of Durant''.
62	* MoodSwinger: Despite his status as a hero, his amplified emotions cause him to swing from one to another. As Darkman, he goes from a raging psychopath to a crying baby. Even as Peyton, he is too overly happy almost border-lining to SlasherSmile material.
63	* NightmareFace: His face is horribly disfigured with very few skin on.
64	* NiceGuy: Even after becoming a brutal AntiHero, is actually quite capable of being polite and friendly.
65	* NinetiesAntiHero: Checks off most of the criteria. Calls himself "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Darkman]]", [[UnscrupulousHero tends to kill his enemies instead of sparing them to be arrested]], is horribly disfigured, brooding, and dresses in dark clothing, has a violent temper and, if provoked even a little, might hurt innocent people for petty reasons.
66	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Liam Neeson's American accent slides all over the place, till the point where you can hear his Ballymena accent coming in.
67	* PayEvilUntoEvil: What saves his injuring of the carnie is the fact the guy was a huge {{Jerkass}} for no given reason.
68	* PetTheDog: He gently gives back a ball to a child in ''Return of Durant''.
69	* PsychopathicManchild: The stuffed elephant scene has shades of this.
70	* RequiredSecondaryPowers:
71	** Since Darkman is missing roughly 40% of his skin, he pretty much needs a HealingFactor, or he'd keel over from various horrible diseases and the injuries he sustains in battle. ''Die Darkman Die'' states that he ''does'' have rapid healing.
72	** Westlake also seems to be the world's greatest vocal impersonator (although the first movie does show him taking the time to practice). Also a talented ventriloquist, as he somehow manages to speak coherently without lips.
73	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His main motivation is to kill those who ruined his life. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Strack during the final fight.
74	* SenseLossSadness: After the accident he suffered, which left him severely burned, the title character was subjected to an experimental medical procedure that severed the nerve endings close to his skin; as a result, he's no longer able to feel pain... or any physical sensation at all. He's not happy about it, and in the third film, when Bridget Thorne claims she can repair his nervous system and allow him to feel again, he jumps at the chance.
75	* SpotTheThread: One of his main weaknesses. He doesn't get a lot of information on the targets he disguises himself as. So when someone is aware that he is around the bad guy will usually trip him up on some information or notice he is acting out of character.
76	* ThatManIsDead:
77	-> '''Darkman''': ''Peyton is gone...''.
78	* TookALevelInJerkass: Peyton was, by all accounts, and NiceGuy looking to help his fellow man. While Darkman isn’t entirely selfish, he’s definitely now more focused on revenge.
79	* TragicHero: Darkman is probably one of the best examples in media. He was a kind man who lost everything when Durant destroyed his lab and left him disfigured, leaving him to abandon his old life completely in the end.
80	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Peyton was a NiceGuy, but his disfigurement at the hands of Durant turned him into the psychotic and vengeful Darkman, although he's still not without his good qualities.

88	--> "Now, let's consider my points, one by one. One," (''cuts off rival's finger'') "I try not to let my anger get the better of me. Two," (''cuts off another finger'') "I don't always succeed. Three," (''cuts off another finger'') "I've got seven more points."
89
90	A psychopathic mob boss with a habit of cutting off the fingers of his victims with his signature cigar trimmer. In addition to operating his own criminal network, he also does the odd dirty job for Louis Strack Jr., the [=CEO=] of Strack Industries. Responsible for Peyton's transformation into Darkman, he serves as a major antagonist in the first film and returns to menace Peyton again in the sequel.
91	----
92	* {{Archenemy}}: To Darkman, seeing as he's personally responsible for Peyton's mutilation and rebirth as the eponymous hero, but also returns in the sequel and other spin-offs to menace him.
93	* ArmsDealer: He was already dealing in guns in the first movie, but in the second he recruits a mad scientist to produce sci-fi-esque guns to put him at the top of the criminal food chain.
94	* AxCrazy: Don’t let his [[FauxAffablyEvil calm and collected mask]] fool you, the man is a heartless {{Sadist}} with fingers in his cigar box.
95	* BadBoss: Downplayed due to his pragmatism. He'll dole out painful deaths to employees that have cheated him in some way, but he doesn't express much emotion when loyal employees die in front of him. At one point in the sequel he's forced to choose between shooting one of his henchmen and Darkman disguised as that henchman. When he ends up choosing wrong, his only reaction is to joke about it.
96	* BigBad: In ''Return of Durant'' he's his own boss.
97	* BreakoutVillain: Durant was popular enough that, not only is he the villain most likely to appear in spin-offs, but he even returned to menace Darkman in the sequel despite apparently dying in the first movie.
98	* CigarChomper: He has a penchant for smoking cigars. Though he uses his signature cigar trimmer for more disturbing purposes.
99	* ConvenientComa: In ''Return of Durant'', [[spoiler:to explain how he survived being ''BLOWN UP'' at the end of ''Darkman'']].
100	* CreepySouvenir: Not only does Durant use his cigar trimmer to cut off the fingers of his victims, he keeps those fingers as trophies in his collection.
101	* DeadpanSnarker: Durant is hands-down the snarkiest character in the series, having a delightfully sarcastic comment for any and every situation.
102	-->'''Durant:''' (''after a henchman accidentally electrocutes himself'') I think we've all learned a valuable safety tip here.
103	-->'''Laurie:''' You killed David.
104	-->'''Durant:''' I thought you might still be upset about that.
105	%%* TheDreaded
106	* DragonInChief: In ''Darkman'', he does the dirty work for Strack and is definitely more dangerous than his boss.
107	* DragonAscendant: Following the death of his employer, Louis Strack Jr., in the first film, Durant miraculously survives his apparent death and returns as the BigBad of the sequel.
108	* {{Expy}}: Much like Darkman being based on DC Comics' the Unknown Soldier, Durant appears to stand-in for the Unknown Soldier's reoccurring ArchEnemy [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Klaus_von_Stauffen_(Earth-One) Klaus von Stauffen, the infamous Black Knight]].
109	* FatBastard: He's an overweight mob boss who cuts off the fingers of his victims and delights in murder.
110	* FauxAffablyEvil: He'll put on a calm, charming facade even as he cuts off people's fingers or tortures a man for information he doesn't have.
111	* {{Fingore}}: Durant has the habit of collecting people's fingers as trophies.
112	* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Implied, but not explicitly stated that he was in the military.
113	* {{Gayngster}}: Possibly. There's a hint in the deli scene that Durant may have a thing for Rick.
114	* HandCannon: Wields a large revolver in the opening shootout, which he uses to take out four of Eddie Black's men with two bullets.
115	* TheHeavy: The initial target of Darkman's revenge and the greatest threat to him and Julie.
116	* HellishCopter: In the first movie, he dies when his helicopter crashes. [[spoiler:He gets better in the sequel.]]
117	* JokerImmunity: He seemingly died at the end of the first film, but is revealed to have merely fallen into a ConvenientComa in ''II''. Spin-off stories also have him coming back from the dead as everything from a [[ComicBook/DarkmanVsArmyOfDarkness Deadite]] to a reanimated head attached to a SpiderTank.
118	* KickTheDog: Durant's habit of collecting fingers from people he brutalizes.
119	* TheMafia: Strongly is a member and leader of a mafia group, or considers himself to be one.
120	* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Whatever the G stands for in Robert ''G.'' Durant.
121	* NeverFoundTheBody: When his helicopter explodes after a nasty crash in the first film, Durant's body is nowhere to be found; the sequel establishes him as having somehow survived.
122	* NotQuiteDead: He somehow survives being blown up in a helicopter to return as the main villain of the first sequel.
123	* PetRat: He's a mob boss who does the dirty jobs that respected [=CEO=] Louis Strack Jr. can't be caught associating with.
124	* PragmaticVillainy: Durant's a sadist but he's not a moron. At one point he snarks that he abhors violence, if it's not making him money. A few minutes later he talks a henchman down from obtaining Brinkman Electric by murdering or hurting Dr. David Brinkman, and suggests buying it legally to avoid drawing attention to themselves. When David refuses to sell, Durant and his henchmen do a repeat performance of what they did to Peyton, only David isn't lucky enough to survive.
125	* PsychoForHire: A sadistic and remorseless gore fetishist who works as an enforcer for Strack in the first movie.
126	* TheSociopath: An all-around horrifying crime boss.
127	* TaxidermyIsCreepy: You have to keep that collection of severed fingers from rotting away somehow. Besides that, he's shown petting a taxidermied rabbit as if it were alive.
128	* YouHaveFailedMe:
129	** After Darkman frames Pauly for stealing money from him and planning to run off with Rick, Durant has him thrown out a window.
130	** In the sequel, he does a repeat performance with his henchman, Rollo, who's been skimming off the top of his drug deals while Durant was in a coma. This time has the added twist of locking Rollo in a golf cart and pushing it off the roof.

137	An attorney who worked for the Pappas & Swain law firm, Julie uncovered the Bellasarious Memorandum, a document that proved the corruption of her employer, Louis Strack. She left the document at the lab of her lover, Peyton Westlake, unwittingly resulting in Strack sending Durant to recover the document and causing the creation of Darkman.

153	* BaldOfEvil: He's bald as an egg, as emphasized by the tattoo on the side of his head.
154	%%* TheBrute
155	* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler:Durant kills him by throwing him out a window. The CarCushion afterward just adds insult to injury.]]
156	* FatBastard: He's about as overweight as his boss, and almost as unpleasant.
157	* FrameUp: Darkman is able to make it look like the Pauly and Ricky were about to leave town with money. Guess how Durant reacts to this.
158	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hot dogs with lots of sauerkraut.

166	----
167	* AssholeVictim: He's the one who kills Peyton's coworker and friend, so he deserves what's coming to him.
168	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: His head crushed by a moving truck. [[GoryDiscretionShot We don't see it, but the results are not pretty.]]
169	* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears thick coke-bottle glasses and works for the mob.
170	* TheStoolPigeon: As soon as Darkman gets his hands on him, he spills the beans on Durant and the gang. [[spoiler:However, since he killed Peyton's lab assistant and friend, it doesn't save him.]]

182	* KarmicDeath: Dies in the exact same way Peyton was supposedly killed, in a lab rigged to explode.

192
193	The immensely corrupt [=CEO=] of Strack Industries, Strack's vision is to rebuild his city into one that matches his vision for the future. Outwardly charming, he's really a manipulative egomaniac who ordered Durant's attack on Peyton to cover up his corruption.
194	----
195	* AdaptedOut: Strack doesn't exist in the licensed NES game based on the movie. Interestingly, the climactic battle at the construction site still happens, but it's between Durant and Darkman rather than Strack and Darkman.
196	* BadBoss: Accidentally kills his henchman and doesn't care.
197	* BadassInANiceSuit: As a wealthy businessman, he's always dressed well. And the climax shows he can handle himself in a brawl.
198	* BigBad: Drives the plot of the first film with his corrupt dealings to make his dream city.
199	* BitchInSheepsClothing: See FauxAffablyEvil.
200	* BondVillainStupidity: After immobilizing Darkman by riveting his hand to a steel beam, instead of finishing him off, Strack takes the opportunity to gloat and belittle him, in the process hitting Darkman's BerserkButton and enraging him into breaking free and getting a second wind.
201	* ChekhovsSkill: He claimed that before he became head of his company that he started out as a High Steel worker. This made him skilled enough to keep balance on the beams while fighting Darkman, who was struggling not to fall off.
202	* ClassicVillain: Pride, Greed, and Ambition are his defining traits.
203	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: An industrialist who falls back on criminal enforcers when traditional business practices don't yield results.
204	* EvilPlan: Louis Strack, Jr. seeks to wipe out the slums of his city and rebuild new, fancy buildings in the process. Seems reasonably well-intentioned, but he's willing to bribe and kill to do it.
205	* FauxAffablyEvil: For the most part, he initially seems genuine with his feelings towards Julie and wants to help her out. In reality, he's a greedy ManipulativeBastard willing to do anything to make his dreams a reality.
206	* FisticuffsBoss: Much of his moves during his final fight with Darkman is punching the hell out of him.
207	* GreaterScopeVillain: Due to hiring Durant to steal a document for him that involves attempting to kill Westlake for it, he is indirectly responsible for the birth of Darkman.
208	* HomeFieldAdvantage: Knowing he wouldn't be a match for Darkman in a fair fight, Strack lures him to the top of one of his construction sites where his ChekhovsSkill grants him the edge.
209	* ItsAllAboutMe
210	--> '''Strack''': What do you think, Julie? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Who's the real monster here?]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist I destroy, to build something better!]] Whereas you?

219	* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He wants to steal the [[{{MacGuffin}} Bellasarious Memorandum]], [[VillainousGentrification destroy the slums in the city, and build a brand new section]] that will, as he sees it, bring in a new era for the city.
220	* WrongGenreSavvy: When Darkman gets the jump on him, he mistakes Darkman for TheCape and gloats about how he won't be able to kill him. He's ''so'' wrong.
