Darklops is a recurring antagonist in the Ultraman franchise, most notably appearing in Ultraman Max and Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial. He is a robotic doppelganger of Ultraman Zero, created using advanced technology. His origins vary slightly depending on the series he appears in, but he is consistently portrayed as a formidable foe with strength and abilities matching, and often surpassing, those of the Ultra he is modeled after.

In Ultraman Max, Darklops Zero is created by the alien Zetton to mimic Ultraman Max's power and defeat him. He is programmed with combat data and equipped with weaponry designed to counter the Ultra Warriors. He proves a challenging opponent, pushing Ultraman Max to his limits.

In Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial, multiple Darklops are produced on the Planet of Mechanical Monsters under the command of Ultraman Belial. They serve as part of Belial's robot army, attempting to conquer the galaxy. Their sleek design and devastating power make them significant threats throughout the film.

While his exact backstory changes, Darklops consistently embodies the concept of a dark reflection, representing the potential dangers of unchecked technology and the constant struggle against powerful, artificial adversaries. His appearances are marked by destructive battles and the test of the Ultramen's strength and resolve.
