In the Dark Mirror Universe, Kopaka was a member of the Toa Empire who was killed in the Battle at the Coliseum.

History[edit | edit source]

Early Life[edit | edit source]

Kopaka was created by Artakha on his island early in the history of the Matoran Universe. Kopaka and his five teammates, who were known collectively as the Toa Mata, were tasked with reawakening Mata Nui if he ever fell asleep and were trained for this mission by the Order of Mata Nui. Once the Toa Mata's training was complete, the Order put them into stasis in Toa Canisters in the Codrex until such a time when they would be needed.[1]

When Tuyet learned of the existence of the Toa Mata, she decided to find and awake them prematurely to add them to her Toa Empire. She gained the knowledge of their location from Artakha and sent teams of her own Toa to retrieve them, but none reported back from the expedition, so she looked into alternate means of recovering the Toa Mata instead. Eventually, she found a hidden area of the Coliseum from which she could fake the launch signal for the Toa Mata's Toa Canisters. Tuyet found the Toa when they washed ashore and manipulated them into believing that the only way to protect Mata Nui was to eliminate all threats to the Empire. The six Toa Mata were drafted into the Toa Empire and taken back to Metru Nui, where each individual member was assigned certain tasks across the city. Because there was no need for the Toa Mata as a team anymore, it subsequently ceased to exist.[1]

Dark Mirror[edit | edit source]

In 3500 ADP, Kopaka and Tahu were on patrol in Metru Nui when they found Takanuva, an unfamiliar Toa who seemed to recognize them. Tahu demanded to see Takanuva's identity tablet, but he did not have one,[2] so Kopaka knocked him down with an ice blast and informed him that he was now a prisoner of the Toa Empire for having committed an act of war against them. Kopaka and Tahu threw Takanuva into a cell in the Coliseum and left.[3]

Later, when Takanuva had escaped imprisonment and allied himself with Lesovikk, he expressed concerns to Lesovikk about meeting with Pohatu because of how his encounter with Kopaka turned out, so Lesovikk asked Takanuva to trust him. Once Pohatu had revealed to Takanuva that he was a member of the resistance, Takanuva asked him how it was possible that Kopaka was awake if Mata Nui was still conscious, so Pohatu told him how Tuyet had found the Toa Mata and drafted them into the Toa Empire.[1]

Kopaka participated in the Battle at the Coliseum the following day. He flash-froze the resistance member Ahkmou, who was then shattered into pieces by Onua's claws. Kopaka later shot an ice dagger at Lesovikk, hitting him in the shoulder; Lesovikk responded by summoning a strong burst of wind that knocked Kopaka off his post high atop the Coliseum. Kopaka was unable to break the fall, so he plummeted to his death.[4]

Abilities & Powers[edit | edit source]

Elemental Powers[edit | edit source]

  • Ice Creation: Kopaka could freeze things or create constructs of ice by projecting elemental Ice energy from his hands or his Toa Tool.[5]
  • Ice Control: Kopaka had complete control telekinetic control over all frozen liquids, but could not control liquid that had yet to be frozen.[5]
  • Ice Absorption: Kopaka could absorb certain amounts of ice into his body, which became stored for use in future elemental attacks.[5]
  • Ice Nova Blast: If he had to, Kopaka could have released all of his elemental energy in the form of an Ice Nova Blast, which would have been an explosion of Ice energy large enough to freeze an area the size of a large city.[5]

Mask Powers[edit | edit source]

  • X-Ray Vision: When activated, Kopaka's Kanohi Akaku allowed him to see through walls and other solid surfaces.[5]
