There is a whole backstory! As the story of "Dark Might" develops, we learn he's secretly Voldo Gallini, head of Gallini crime family, which is one of the biggest and most famous European crime organizations. The entire crime ring takes center stage!

Gallini is obsessed with All Might. Gallini used his power to turn himself into All Might so the world could think he was his replacement! This incredible and unique power is his Quirk! And that's called Alchemy!

What was particularly significant is the mysterious prisoner who plays a crucial role. That's Anna Scervino. This isn't just some normal criminal she can super-charge others who connect with her, meaning that whoever she connects with will be overpowered.

This really changes things for the movie as Gallini manages to do incredible feats of strength by being so powerful! You can see some big action moments in the city where this villain shows his massive amounts of control over everything, transforming it into something totally wild.

His methods, however, show how flawed this view really is, as he becomes violent, harming civilians without any concern for anyone around. As it gets serious! Gallini becomes much more twisted! This incredible villain creates the idea that he should get "Dark Might" as a title, something he came up with when he realizes All Might was never on board for his twisted idea!

Things escalate to another level of incredible mayhem as his experiments lead him down a violent path. He's testing many people with Anna! He was attempting to turn them into his henchmen. However, he soon will have to deal with the fact that Anna's powers can’t be controlled forever and at the end, it completely explodes and takes over Dark Might! Making it look like something totally monster-like. This ultimately gave our heroes a huge opening!
