History
Mega Man Star Force 3
In the third game, Dark Phantom appears once again, and assaults the WAZA main computer, but not as part of Dealer. He seemed to have been driven insane, only lusting for revenge for being defeated and losing the power of Mu. To that end, he attempts to acquire the Noise Change program in Mega Man by holding Zack and Dr. Goodall hostage.
When Harp Note and Taurus Fire step up to fight him, his plan falls apart and he retreats into WAZA's computers, where Mega Man follows and fights him. After being defeated by Mega Man once again, the shock caused him to step backwards one too many times, falling off the Wave Road to his apparent demise. His fate is unknown. Phantom work temporarily with Vega, Hollow, Rich Dotcom, and Yeti while on Mu, and later escape during its collapse.
Powers and Abilities

- Stick Sword: Dark Phantom attacks the player at his current position using his stick. Later versions have him attempt this many times if the first blow misses, but never exceed 3 times.
- Phantom Claw: Dark Phantom sends out a black hand from his chest, which breaks and pierces Invis.
- Phantom Slash: Dark Phantom moves up next to the player and performs a multi-hit wind attack that hits all panels around him. This removes Barriers and Auras, and must be blocked.

Trivia
- Hyde is a possible homage to the novel "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", as he shares his name with the doctor's evil personality and wears British-style clothing. However, his EM Wave Change form Dark Phantom bears more similarities to the "The Phantom of the Opera".
