History

Mirrorman

Generation I

Darkron appeared in front of Mirrorman, but then vanished. Later Mirrorman fought Darkron who overpowered him as they fled through dimensions. However, Mirrorman unleashed his own power, the Mirror Light, which brought them out of the alternate dimensions. Mirrorman aimed a Mirror Shoot at Darkron's face, stunning him. He then used the Mirror Light again, further confusing him and allowing him to use another Mirror Shoot to kill Darkron, who vanished in green flames. ^{The Super-Express Vanishes}

Trivia

• Darkron's roar is a recycled Gabora's roar.
• Darkron was originally designed to be in Return of Ultraman as an alien called Gailos.

Generation II

After Mirrorman destroyed Sphenodon a light was irradiated from the Invaders saucer, which then suddenly turned into Darkron II. The two began to exchange blows, and after a while, Darkron II shot his right "hand" at Mirrorman, trying to stab him. Luckily, the hero dodged it and sent it back at the monster, impaling him in the chest. Darkron II fell on the ground and bled green. ^{Bodyguard from the Deep}
