Who said that he work for himself? Could it be that he is just a messenger of doom from a far more evil villain?

Dark Kat appear in 'The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats', and he is still a very evil kat there, could it be that the Dark Kat we know and the Dark Kat from the Dark Side is the same Dark Kat?

Hmmm, a tiny kat in an exo-frame? :)

And both of them are very dark and mysterious.

Well, his action figures does look like a cyborg.

>The purple doesn't have to mean anything in animation, tho'.

Well, is either purple or green, and I think that I rather see a purple Dark Kat than a green Dark Kat. Besides, we already have a green villain, Dr. Viper.

>Say, what are those creeplings anyway?

I said it once, I said it again, genetic manipulation! We have our very own Jurassic Park here in MegaKat. :)
