The Black Mass is the overarching antagonist of the 2001 science fantasy/action series Samurai Jack being the origin of the tyrannical ruler Aku.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- The Black Mass was a powerful entity, even more so than its descendant Aku, being completely capable of even harming the gods Ra, Odin, and Rama. It eclipsed the three gods in size and could temporarily paralyze its victims. Much like its future descendant, the Black Mass had shapeshifting capabilities which it used during its battle with the three gods. It should be noted that the Black Mass being given a sapient form was a blessing in disguise: originally a mindless being, the Black Mass would later consume and absorb everything it came across after narrowly escaping the three gods before eventually reconfiguring itself into Aku.
- It was responsible for the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event which happened around 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs. Over the years the Black Mass would continue to grow and expand feeding on the sapless organisms that fell victim to it. By the time of the samurai, the Emperor tries to kill it with a magic elixir. However, rather than it destroying the dark entity, it instead is given a sapient form that being the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness Aku.
- The Black Mass has a considerable amount of influence being that it was the origin of the main antagonist of the series.
