!!Anakin Skywalker
No, we really aren't kidding. Immediately post-Mustafar, pre-suit, Anakin's soul was grabbed on a whim by the Grandmaster and pulled into Sakaar and forcibly spliced onto Johnny Storm, whose VoluntaryShapeshifting was abused to turn him into a perfect replica of Anakin's form. Both a deadly Sith Lord, fresh from his first atrocities, and a scared, manipulated boy in far over his head, it's extremely unclear where his path is going to go next.

[[hardline]]
* BerserkButton: In Sith mode, being mocked. Which Harry does, relentlessly.
* CooldownHug: On the receiving end from Harry. It helps that SuperStrength makes it very hard for Anakin to squirm out of his grip.
* ColorCodedEyes: Bloodshot gold equals Sith. Blue equals confused Jedi.
* EyeColorChange: His eyes change as Harry's CooldownHug takes effect.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Under the darkness, he is fundamentally a good person, and spliced with Johnny Storm, another example.
* HeroicRematch: A villainous variant, with the Grandmaster doing over the Duel on Mustafar ForTheLulz. This gives Harry the opportunity to break the cycle of violence.
* MasterSwordsman: As per canon. However, Harry can match him blow for blow once he gets past the shock, and is controlling the fight.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Notices that 'Obi-Wan' is behaving oddly even through his wild rage and is worried about it.

* SpottingTheThread: Even out of his mind on the Dark Side, he can spot the inconsistencies in his situation and in 'Obi-Wan'.
* TragicVillain: This aspect is emphasised in Harry's compassion for him.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Literally ''no one'' expected him to turn up, least of all him. It helps that after Nathan, he's the first character explicitly from another universe - and one outside the 'local' multiverse, at that.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Harry immediately pegs him as this, and recognises the parallels, ending up giving him a CooldownHug.

* MirrorCharacter: To Strange. Both are {{Immortal Genius}}es, exceptionally musically talented, ''the'' standard to live up to in their chosen fields, both have had many names over many lives and the name they use now is most certainly not their original, both are intimately connected to Camelot and time, both are mischievous with a [[TheGadfly puckish sense of humour]], and both are shaped by tragedy. The difference is that where Strange manipulates, she teaches and guides, being relatively open and inviting people to figure her out where Strange actively obscures his past, and she cherishes her past and those she's lost while he runs away from them. He's a study in bitter self-hatred at what he has become, whereas she's perfectly happy with who she is.
