The Great Evil (or the Ultimate Evil, or Mr. Shadow) is an ancient cosmic force that has for thousands of years tried to destroy Earth and all life in The Fifth Element Universe. In the 23rd century, it approaches planet Earth upon finding out that the five elements are no longer in place to stop it. But it is once again thwarted by the power of the Fifth Element, Leeloo, killing it forever and its body becoming a second moon for Earth.
