- “Darkness Falls!”
- —Blackout's official catchphrase
Blackout is a black dragon who is the Dark core Skylander in Skylanders: Trap Team.
Background
Personality
Despite knowing of his sinister origins, Blackout shows bravery, compassion, and encouragement towards others. Like all Skylanders of his element, Blackout sees no relation between the Dark element and The Darkness.
Biography
Blackout hails from the Realm of Dreams, where the collective imagination of all the creatures in the universe come together to create beautiful wonders... and terrible nightmares. At a young age, he was recruited into the Dark Stygian – a Dragon Clan whose chief responsibility was to create nightmares for evil creatures as a way to discourage them from doing more villainy. But the clan began to abuse their power, and soon spread nightmares far and wide for its own amusement. But Blackout would not stand for it. So he learned to teleport directly into the nightmares the clan created and fought the creatures within. Eventually, the nightmares reached as far as Master Eon, who witnessed Blackout’s courage within his own dreams. After helping him put a stop to the Dark Stygian, Eon then made Blackout a Skylander, serving as the protector of the Realm of Dreams and beyond!
Story
History
Originating from the Realm of Dreams, a young Blackout was drafted into a dragon clan called the Dark Stygian, whose main goal was to conjure nightmares specifically for evildoers to dishearten them from committing more evil deeds. However the clan began to misuse their power by spreading nightmares far and wide for the fun of it. Not tolerating such abuse, Blackout used his teleportation abilities to dive right into the nightmares and battled the creatures residing inside. One of his battles was witnessed by Master Eon himself when the Portal Master was eventually threatened by these bad dreams. Both Blackout and Eon soon stopped the Dark Stygian, and Blackout was made a Skylander on the spot.
Light in the Dark
Spotlight and Blackout checking out their surroundings.
After eating a piece of candy and being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Blackout and Spotlight found themselves inside a strange place with an opening at the top. However, before they could do anything, the area started to become flooded with candy, threatening to drown the two Skylanders. Both Spotlight and Blackout were unable to break themselves out on their own, but by combining their Light and Dark powers, the two dragons managed to escape. They discovered that they had been inside a giant piñata with Arkeyan ruins, and quickly flew away to alert Master Eon. From afar, Pain-Yatta announced his plans of a "candy catastrophe" that the Skylanders wouldn't be able to stop in time.
After reporting back to Master Eon at the Skylanders Academy about what happend to them, Spotlight and Blackout soon discovered through Gearshift's report that Pain-Yatta used their Light and Dark powers to create an army of candy warriors to rule Skylands. Upon learning about Pain-Yatta's plan, Master Eon sent Spotlight and Blackout back to the Arkeyan ruins in order to find out any clues about the attack. Once there, the two dragons were ambushed by a horde of candy warriors until Knight Light and Knight Mare came to assist their fellow Skylanders. However they were soon confronted by Pain-Yatta, who released a wave of candy upon the four Light and Dark Skylanders.
Blackout, Spotlight, Knight Light and Knight Mare became imprisoned inside Pain-Yatta's giant pinata to power him and his army of candy warriors during their impending conquest over Skylands. Should they use their powers of Light and Dark to try and escape their prison, they would only make Pain-Yatta and his army stronger. Eventually the Skylanders concocted a plan to overload the pinata with their powers, causing it to explode and allowing the Skylanders to escape. Despite absorbing the Light and Dark energies to empower himself, Pain-Yatta suddenly became sick from taking in too much power and his candy warriors around Skylands dropped to pieces, resulting in Pain-Yatta's defeat. At the Skylanders Academy, Master Eon congratulated the Light and Dark Skylanders for their efforts in saving Skylands once again with their Light and Dark abilities.

Trivia
- Blackout is the only core Skylander of the Dark Element as of Imaginators.
- His name refers to the common term for a power outage.
- Statues of Blackout can be seen on the ledges of Midnight Museum.
- The Legendary Treasure, Legendary Gargoyle, is based on Blackout.
- He bears a resemblance to the Changelings from the television series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as both are black skinned, winged individuals with white eyes.
- One of his upgrades, Shadow Blade, shares a name with a weapon from Mega Man 3.
- Although Blackout has wings but cannot fly, his upgrade, Cloud Gravity, from his "Prince of Darkness" allows him to fly over enemies for a short time.
- There is a glitch that if the "Cloud Gravity" is used and then the auto-cut scene interrupts this attack, Blackout becomes invulnerable to all attacks from enemies and Trappable Villains, and never loses health. This works in all levels and on any difficulty setting. After this glitch is performed, the player can keep this glitch even if they can change the level infinite times, switch to a playable villain or fall off the platforms. The only way to cancel out this glitch is to either remove Blackout from the portal or simply perform the "Cloud Gravity" again.
- This glitch was removed in Skylanders: SuperChargers.
