Akuma: Hawk Moth creates an akuma by charging a normal butterfly with his dark energy. The purpose of an akuma is to possess an important object of a person, forming a link between the person and Hawk Moth. Once the deal is made, the akuma in the object releases black and purple smoke that transforms the person into a supervillain. They also can slit through incredibly small spaces, being able to get in an elevator's door crack while it was closed, which is impossible for normal butterflies. If an akuma is not de-evilized, it will multiply and its multipliers will transform civilians into the same villain as shown in Origins Part 1.
