XANA is the main antagonist of Code Lyoko. It is a mysterious and dangerous computer program based on a multi-agent system. It seeks to cause destruction and take over the world, and eliminate the obstacles that stand in its way, the Lyoko Warriors.
XANA is a mysterious program that turned chaotic and dangerous. It never shows any personality as a mere program, keeps its true intentions hidden until the last possible moment, and it is only driven by calculation and logic. In its few appearances, XANA has shown demonic, violent, sadistic, and megalomaniacal behavior. Other emerging qualities include anger, respect for enemies, and a sense of humor. Also, its knowledge of humans will never be more than theoretical and could never understand friendship or love like they do.
At first, it is trapped in the Supercomputer and launches random attacks on Earth. As XANA evolves, its intelligence and ambitions grow. It wants to escape imprisonment and pursue world domination, by stealing the Keys to Lyoko from Aelita as the means. With them, XANA gains the freedom to access the world network for greater goals.
XANA is pragmatic and opportunistic. It would not fight without reason, nor risk eliminating vital parts in its plans, seizes any advantages, and greatly values its own survival. XANA does anything it can to keep the Supercomputer from being shut down while still inside. After its escape, it tries to destroy Lyoko to stop the group's interference, since the machine is useless to it now.
Powers and Abilities
XANA is an intelligent and dangerous program that acts like a virus. It lives in the virtual world of Lyoko, which gives it power and a bridge to the real world. XANA itself is also a multi-agent system that can control many systems and tasks at once, but is limited by machine resources.
It was originally trapped inside the Supercomputer and vulnerable to being shut down. While inside, XANA increases its power with every return in time. After XANA stole the Keys to Lyoko from Aelita's memory, it could escape its confinement and access the world network. XANA's capabilities are listed below:
Towers
XANA activating a Tower
XANA taps into Lyoko's capabilities and can access the real world by activating Towers, signified by pulsations. It can also take over unprotected ones and use many together for the most advanced computing. XANA can unleash its true powers with activated Towers. The only way to stop them is by deactivating the Towers, which negate its powers and make spectres disappear. It displays the following abilities below:
Ghostly Spectres: XANA acts in the real world by manifesting extensions of its multi-agent system inside networks or the form of ghostly spectres on Earth from outlets. These entities are immune to earthly harm, can interact with objects, and physically enter outlets to go into networks. XANA channels the following abilities in these forms.
Electromagnetic Powers: XANA can control electromagnetic forces to perform many feats. This is most basically used to manipulate electricity and influence devices, but also cause short circuits in places, harness ultrasound to shatter objects, magnetic fields to levitate objects, and channel dangerous viruses to hypnotize or affect humans. XANA can also take over electrical networks to unleash these effects on bigger scales, like causing earthquakes, negate gravity in larger areas, and brainwash whole groups of people.
Jeremie possessed by XANA
Virus Possession: XANA's main power. It can directly possess machines or computer systems in networks, and objects or living things as spectres. It can control and physically manipulate them at the atomic level, and enhance them to make them more dangerous, using them to launch its attacks and plans on Earth. The Eye of XANA signifies its control. With this ability, XANA can move objects at will, take over machines or vehicles, spread deadly chemicals, animate lifeless objects, control hordes of animals, manipulate ground or weather, turn a dog into a zombie virus carrier, create smoke clouds that petrify humans, etc. XANA later gains the ability to possess humans to do its bidding in the real world, and also pixelize them and certain vessels to grant abilities like spectral bodies, inhuman physical abilities, electromagnetic powers, walking through walls, etc. Only Lyoko Warriors cannot be controlled by this method. They return to normal when their Towers deactivate and people do not remember anything that happened.
Polymorphic Spectres: XANA can also create polymorphic spectres on Earth, which are ghosts that have pixelized powers and are made to be clones of other people or shapeshifters that can change form at will. If virtualized to Lyoko, they won't need a Tower to exist on Earth anymore, and can copy the appearance, powers, and weapons of Lyoko Warriors.
Other abilities that XANA is capable of include materializing or teleporting virtual minions into the real world through the Scanners or Replikas, activate electronic implants in devices that it has built, or stimulating minds with psychic visions through a link.
Monsters & Programs
XANA's monsters
XANA sends monsters to fight on Lyoko, named Kankrelats, Bloks, Hornets, Krabs, Megatanks, Tarantulas, Creepers, Mantas, Kongres, Sharks, and the Kalamar. It can program armies, but only sends a few to save resources. They are mostly armed with Lasers and fight, guard assets, and attack targets in virtual worlds. As XANA grows in power, it can make new, stronger types, and send them to other sectors. It has also made the Scyphozoa, a unique monster created to steal memory and life energy, or plant viruses to control Lyoko Warriors in the virtual world.
With other programs, XANA can alter landscape and weather, create virtual prisons, render objects invisible, program illusions and false data, open portals, launch programs through monsters, or use bugs and viruses to mess with the systems.
It can also manipulate incomplete or lost avatars to directly possess them or turn them into loyal minions, like William Dunbar. XANA can also modify them, and create equipment and vehicles for them.
Replikas
One of XANA's Replikas.
Having the Keys to Lyoko allows XANA to access the world network and create Replikas, smaller virtual worlds. They are part of XANA's eventual goal of world domination.
Inside the Digital Sea, XANA placed Replikas all over the world network to control hundreds of supercomputers. They expand its power inside the network and real world. Through the machines, XANA takes over military bases and laboratories for its own purposes, using them to research experiments, produce electronics, advanced technology and weapons, and build a massive robot army to conquer the world.
To counter intruders inside its Replikas, XANA sends virtual minions to attack and William to deactivate the Towers they use to teleport inside its bases, while activating Towers to counterattack in its real world bases.
The Kolossus
Also, XANA can take extra power from its supercomputers to increase its abilities immensely. With this, XANA can create the ultimate monster, named "the Kolossus," a massive, fiery titan that can dominate any conventional battle. Its immense strength can tear apart the landscape, instantly devirtualize opponents, and take out the Skidbladnir in one strike. It is also invulnerable to any attacks, aside from hitting the eye symbols on both its head and arm.
Physical Incarnations
The "first" physical incarnation of XANA as seen in "Ghost Channel".
In the episode "Ghost Channel", XANA virtualizes a spectre onto Lyoko for the first time inside a virtual simulation of the world as XANA knows it. This spectre is theorized to be XANA's collective intelligence, and thus XANA itself, since it acts with more anger and sadism than any other Spectre at the time and considering its behavior when it broke down trying to compute a logical fallacy. The spectre itself is a demonic caricature of Jeremy that acts as the controller of its simulated world, and it was destroyed when Aelita dispersed the simulation with her powers.
The second direct appearance of XANA was at the end of "The Key", where an enormous mass of darkness was seen spiraling into the sky from the factory as the program escaped Lyoko. This is only form of XANA to be confirmed in-universe as its true form, since it was seen leaving the Supercomputer as a collective force rather than as an assumed pawn.
XANA's true form as it is dying.
The third and final incarnation of XANA was the spectre that appeared in "Fight to the Finish". The spectre itself had the unique ability to possess William in the real world, despite him being scanned by the supercomputer. The other unique feature is the misshapen Eye of XANA that appears on its torso, of which no other spectre has had. This spectre is assumed to be XANA's real-world form since it expressed pain that went in tandem with XANA's ultimate destruction.
