~ Luka during his transformation into Viperion |
Luka Couffaine is a supporting character, later one of the secondary deuteragonists (alongside Ryuko) from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. In season 3, he receives the Snake Miraculous from Master Fu, which, when inhabited by the kwami Sass, can transform him into Viperion, a snake-themed superhero.
He is voiced by Andrew Russell in the English dub and by Maxime Baudouin in the original French version.
Appearance
As a civilian, he has aqua eyes and medium-length black hair that includes dyed teal blue tips. His lips are pale pink, and he has a Roman nose.
As Viperion, he wears a black and cyan suit, appearing to be slender and muscular. His suit has a snake texture along with the same kind of underbelly like a snake and he has a cyan-colored mask around his eyes. His weapon appears to be a harp or lyre.
Personality
In contrast to his younger sister Juleka, Luka has a calm and mysterious personality. He is adept at reading other people's emotions and claims he can express them better with music than with words. He is also a very kind and generous person, which especially shows when he's around his crush Marinette.
Despite his kindness, the episode "Silencer" shows that his niceness does have its limits when Bob Roth and XY plagiarizing his and Marinette's band's song and costume, followed by Bob threatening to use his power in the music industry to make Marinette look like the plagiarist, causes him to get angry enough to be akumatized.
Powers and abilities
As a civilian
Luka is excellent at playing his guitar. In "Frozer", he's also good at ice skating and is also fairly strong as he can lift Marinette Dupain-Cheng with ease.
As Viperion
Like all Miraculous wielders, Viperion has enchanted abilities like speed and strength, and most notably agility, being able to jump much higher than either Ladybug or Cat Noir. His weapon is his lyre. His special ability is called Second Chance.
