Riddick
Riddick is a fictional antihero created by writer-director David Twohy, portrayed by Vin Diesel in the science fiction films *Pitch Black* (2000), *The Chronicles of Riddick* (2004), and *Riddick* (2013).
The character is a dangerous escaped convict with surgically enhanced eyes that allow him to see in the dark—a trait that makes him uniquely suited to survive on hostile alien worlds.
He went full Riddick and disappeared into the shadows.
