History
Digimon Frontier
Lucemon was a major antagonist in the TV show Digimon Frontier. According to Bokomon, there was a great war between Human Digimon and Animal Digimon. The war was never ending until Lucemon showed up and brought peace to both Digimon species. There was peace for a while until Lucemon was corrupted and obsessed with his own power and tried to destroy the world to recreate it in his own image. He would have succeeded in his plans until the 10 Legendary Warriors rose up and opposed Lucemon, defeating him and trapped him in the Dark Area within the Digital World's core.
Years later, Lucemon corrupted Cherubimon, causing him to steal and corrupt five of the spirit warriors, also corrupted the Spirits of Darkness, creating Duskmon. He also creating an army of beast-type Digimon to attack Seraphimon's Castle, and kidnaps Ophanimon.
After Cherubimon was defeated by EmperorGreymon, Lucemon summons his two Royal Knights; Dynasmon, and Crusadermon to absorb the rest of the data from the Digital World so he could be free from his prison. After they accomplished their mission, Lucemon was free, and banishes Takuya and the others to the moon of the Digital World.
Lucemon then talks to his Royal Knights about giving them the key to the Real World if they defeat the Digidestined. But the Royal Knights finally met their match against EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon and were defeated by them. Just as they were about to purify the knights’ data, Lucemon unexpectedly arrives and attacks Takuya (as EmperorGreymon) and Koji (as MagnaGarurumon), as well as betraying Dynasmon and Crusadermon by killing them. Doing so, Lucemon absorbs their data and transforms into his Chaos Mode form. The demon offers the Digidestined to join him in his paradise, but they immediately turned down the offer. Lucemon defeats EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon and goes to the Dark Area and creates a portal to the Human World while the image of Lucemon himself appears on all of Earth's electronic communications (phones, monitors, tvs, etc.). As Lucemon does this, he was interrupted by Takuya and his friends, who entered the Dark Area to confront and oppose him. They all fought Lucemon, but he was very powerful and easily deflects every single attack from them. Lucemon tries to destroy Takuya and the other Digidestined with his Ultimate Sacrifice attack, but Koichi takes the attack himself, nobly sacrificing himself to save his friends. As Kouichi succumbs to his wounds, he gives his brother Koji his spirits before turning into data. Lucemon absorbs Kouichi's soul and data, much to Koji's grief and Takuya's rage. Takuya, angered by Koichi's death, Ancient Spirit evolves (along with Koji) to Susanoomon for the first time.
Even though Susanoomon was powerful, Lucemon was still able to put up a great fight against him, and uses his Ultimate Sacrifice attack on Susanoomon in an attempt to destroy him. But fortunately, Koji and Takuya manage to survive the attack, and revert back to Susanoomon, much to Lucemon’s horror. Susanoomon used his Celestial Blade attack, cutting through the Dark Area and Lucemon, defeating him and avenging Koichi's death. Susanoomon purifies only the good data of Lucemon, but his spirit lived on, leaving only the evil data. As the Dark Area vanishes, it absorbs the evil data Digi-Egg for Lucemon to be reborn as his Shadowlord Mode form. He then breaks through the Digital World to attack the Human World as the world's electronic communications suddenly recieves Lucemon's cryptic message that reads "you must choose to follow me or be destroyed", and the heroes try to stop him, but were still no match. Suddenly the 10 Legendary Warriors emerged, and the spirits of the Celestial Digimon told Takuya and his friends that the only way to defeat Lucemon for good was destroying his true form.
Inside the Shadowlord's black orb dwells Lucemon's true form; Lucemon Larva Mode. After Susanoomon managed to enter the dark orb, the Larva attacks him, but Susanoomon was able to drive the Larva out of the orb, shattering it. The Shadowlord Lucemon mindlessly rampages, now that the Larva can't control it anymore. Susanoomon managed to pin the demonic dragon down with his Heaven's Exposure attack and sliced through the Shadowlord's body with his Celestial Blade, killing him. All of a sudden, the Larva sneak attacks Susanoomon, but unfortunately for him, this won’t bring him victory. Susanoomon split into the Ten Legendary Warriors and sliced through him one by one, destroying him for good.
With Lucemon finally defeated, the Digidestined restored the entire Digital World back to its former glory, and with a tearful goodbye from the Ten Legendary Warriors and Bokomon and Neemon, the Digidestined returned to their world, and found Koichi (Koji’s brother) miraculously alive, and now live a happier life.

After defending the Fusion Fighters and after being attack Gargoylemon, Lucemon shows the group the Area. When Fusion Fighter is captured and sentenced to death for a crime they did not commit minor, Lucemon pleads for clemency to both them and the real culprit, Cupimon. By showing mercy and help for all citizens to speak for themselves, Lucemon get popular support, which makes him the president of the Heaven Zone. However, as soon as is crowned, he returns to his true form and rips the zone in two, revealing the temple that holds the Code Crown and a giant sphere of darkness.
Although Shoutmon X4B and Shakkoumon are able to defeat Lucemon and retrieve the Code Crown, he survives and kidnaps Nene, who had been diverting the dark power to AxeKnightmon, used it to their advantage. However, Lucemon absorbs too much dark energy, transformed against his will into Lucemon Shadowlord Mode. After imprisoning Nene into the Dark Area through the orb Gehenna which is a source of greater darkness, a crazed Lucemon later absorbs huge amounts of negative energy from the citizens, and the data of all of the Sky Zone. After Shoutmon X4 manages to break the Gehenna, Sparrowmon immersed in it to save Nene. He is finally defeated by Shoutmon X5.
