Perfect Murder

No description available.

The Man in Black is the main antagonist of the American ABC television series Lost. He appeared as a cloud of black smoke until the final episode of season five where he appeared as a middle-aged man dressed in black. In season six, he appeared in the physical form of John Locke. He exhibited the ability to scan the minds and memories of others, allowing him to confront characters such as Mr. Eko and Ben Linus, with "judgement", and assume the appearances and memories of the dead, such as Christian Shephard, Yemi, Alex Rousseau, and Locke. According to Jacob, it is the incarnation of evil, and its primary goal—to escape from the island—would be the "end of everything good".
