Lord Darkon was the archvillain of the Superfriends episode The Demons of Exxor who was leader of an interstellar force of conquerers who invaded the planet Exxor. Darkon's military forces included interstellar battlecruisers, fighter ships, and armored soldiers. Darkon's own personal flagship had two special weapons: one that caused victims' memories and beliefs to be tured into real monsters, and the other was a planet-destroying laser beam. Lord Darkon and his soldiers presumbly were modeled after Darth Vader, the Imperial Stormtroopers, and the Galactic Empire from the movie Star Wars.
