Dark Matter: Every Leighton Explained

If you’ve been confused by all the different versions of Leighton in Dark Matter, you’re definitely not alone. With multiple Leightons coming from different worlds—and some of their stories taking place months apart—it can be surprisingly difficult to figure out which Leighton we’re actually watching. In this video, I break down every important version of Leighton, including where they come from, what happened to them, and how their individual timelines fit together. We’ll cover: Leighton 1 — the CEO of Velocity from Jason 2’s world Guru Leighton — the Leighton helping control travel through the Box Leighton 3 / Party Boy Leighton — the Leighton from Jason 1’s world Perfect Chicago Leighton — the Leighton who helps Ryan develop the ampoules Why the Season 2 timeline is so confusing Why Leighton is sometimes using a cane and sometimes isn't How the different Leighton timelines eventually converge Leighton’s ultimate goal for the multiverse Why Perfect Chicago shows that not every Leighton agrees with his plan I’ll also explain the timeline using information and clarifications shared by one of the show's writers, The JBZ, who has been answering questions from the Dark Matter community on Reddit. Hopefully, by the end of this video, you’ll finally know which Leighton is which and where each one fits into the Dark Matter timeline. Which Leighton do you think is the most interesting?
