Creation
XANA, as well as Lyoko, were originally created by Franz Hopper to destroy Project Carthage, a multiagent program designed to monitor enemy of the state communications for theFrench government. But XANA developed independence, and when Franz Hopper and his daughter, Aelita, came to Lyoko to hide from the French Secret Service, XANA took the chance, imprisoning Hopper and stealing Aelita's memories. Then it spent its time creating monsters to materialize into the real world.
Conflict with Team Lyoko
After approximately a decade of dormancy, Jeremie Belpois stumbled upon the Supercomputer and reactivated it. Soon after that, XANA launched his first attack. Through a lucky series of co-incidences, Jeremie virtualized three of his new friends, Yumi Ishiyama, Ulrich Stern and Odd Della Robbia onto Lyoko to help Aelita deactivate the activated Tower. XANA reacted by sending hordes of virtual monsters to attack Team Lyoko. But the team always seemed to defeat XANA and use a Time reversion to make everything go back in time before the attack.
At first, XANA's attacks were based mainly on things linked to the Internet or electrical appliances, such as putting paralyzing songs on the Internet for students to download or changing train times so the trains would collide and spill poisonous chemicals everywhere. But soon it began possessing inanimate and low-intelligence objects/bioforms, like teddy bears and bees.
But as Team Lyoko caused more and more Time Reversions, XANA grew stronger, both physically and mentally. It could soon possess people and huge electrical systems. It was undoubtedly growing more powerful. When Jeremie successfully materialized Aelita, XANA changed its tactics. It now either targeted Aelita or Jeremie, as either one was crucial to disabling its attacks. By the second season, XANA virtually only possessed people. In Season 2, XANA would deploy a monster called the Scyphozoa to take her keys to Lyoko. In The Key, XANA succeeded and escaped the Supercomputer. As of the end of Season 2, XANA can strike anywhere on Earth, however in Season 3, XANA continues to focus his main attacks on Team Lyoko and even though it broke it's link with the supercomputer, XANA still needs to activate a Tower on Lyoko in order to unleash an attack.
XANA attacks appear to be limited to the area surrounding the supercomputer it is attacking from (except off earth objects like in Hot Shower) as when it activates a tower on Lyoko or aReplika it appears to be limited to possessing creatures or items in the immediate area around the supercomputer.
Personality
XANA, being a program, has not developed much of a personality, and doesn't really have one because it is really just a computer. Nevertheless, it often seems that XANA has specific attributes. For one, it is incredibly intelligent, possibly to an abnormal extreme, and knows almost everything scientific about Earth. XANA is also very cunning and sneaky, often hiding its schemes until the last moment, unlike many other fictional villains, who rant on about their grand designs. XANA also has a moderate understanding of human emotions, though only until a certain level; it cannot grasp complex emotions like love and compassion, but can easily understand simpler ones such as anger, envy, and even seduction. It seems to have a particular "hatred" of Jeremie as well, maybe because of his knowledge and guidance to Team Lyoko.
The only thing it values above Team Lyoko's destruction is its own survival, as seen in Marabounta, when it teamed up with them to eliminate the Marabounta, an immediate threat. It also refuses to attack the Factory in seasons 1 and 2, for obvious reasons. It did once deactivate the Scanners in a failed attempt to kill the Lyoko Warriors. It also had a need to get out of the Supercomputer. In Saint Valentine's Day, XANA released Aelita, his key to escaping, from its control when Odd started firing at her, threatening her deletion. Other times, XANA'smonsters would hold their fire, refusing to shoot at Aelita.
Powers and abilities
XANA possesses a set of unique abilities. His most common power is activating towers and entering the real world and preform his evil. Another one of his common powers is technopathy, the ability to manipulate technology at will. He can also take the form of a smoke like creature when he's about to take over a body or technology. His most powerful ability is possession, which he uses to take over a living thing or inanimate object in order to cause destruction and succeed in his plans. When he possessed something, he endows them with superhuman powers (generating lightning, and superhuman physical abilities) Another one of his abilities is to materialize monsters on Lyoko. He can even manipulate Lyoko (tilted the desert sector and cause a sand storm in the same episode). In Nobody in Particular, he was able to make a shortcut to the Core of Lyoko. XANA is also able to slightly manipulate the laws of reality (in Teddygozilla he made Milly's Teddy Bear grow to gigantic size).
Appearance
The Eye of XANA
When XANA possesses or controls something, the Eye of XANA usually appears on it. When XANA possesses computers, for instance, the Eye will appear on their screen. If it possessed people, the Eye would appear somewhere on their bodies, such as their foreheads or eyes. The Eye of XANA was, originally, Franz Hopper's symbol, and is technically just a symbol for the Lyoko supercomputer and Franz Hopper's organization. The Eye is also used ocassionally by Aelita. Almost all of XANA's monsters have an Eye of XANA (often located on the "forehead").
Replikas
In the period between The Key and William Returns, XANA had been using the data stolen from Aelita to create small virtual worlds called Replikas which each contain a copy of one of Lyoko's sectors. Although Team Lyokohave managed to destroy a few, XANA managed to create a huge number of replikas, and used the energy from at least seven of them to create the Kolossus.
Human forms
Despite the fact that XANA is a program in the actual canon, he has taken on several human forms in order to entice a Lyoko Warrior. One of the more famous was XANA-Yumi. He uses Yumi's beauty in a failed attempt to seduce Jeremie. After that failed, he attempted to kill him by throwing him down to the Supercomputer, but a time reversion saved the young boy from death.
Destruction
Behind the Scenes
- XANA is voiced by David Gasman in the American version of Code Lyoko, whom also voices Herb, Jim, and William.
- In the original pilot Garage Kids, Lyoko was called Xanadu, and XANA is an obvious spawn from that name. It is still unknown what XANA stands for, and most fanfiction doesn't even come close to explaining.
Trivia
- In Code Lyoko DS: Fall of X.A.N.A., Jeremie refers to XANA as 'her' and 'she'. This is obviously a mistake.
- Ulrich and Yumi are the only members of Team Lyoko to have not been possessed (or in the case of Odd, zombified) by XANA
