I think that the more information should be revealed about the Overlord's past than what they have now. Did he just appear out of shadow? Or was he alive at some point, building up his spirit with the evil deeds he did? Then, at the brink of death, bathes himself in a darkness many times shaded than that of dark matter. The very darkness that took his life, prolonged it. Once he became the evil spirit he was destined to be, he decided to complete what he never was able to do in life, to conquer a world. As a newborn world, Ninjago seemed more or less like an easy target. Besides, it was the First Spinjitzu Master who hurled him to his death in the first place, making Ninjago a perfect scene for revenge.

We all know what happens after that. The Overlord fights the First Spinjitzu Master but is banished to the Dark Island. Thousands of years later he returns, but is angered to see that the First Spinjitzu Master had since passed away. He decides to conquer Ninjago while settling his revenge on the Second Spinjitzu Master, who, in turn, banishes him once again. Next, the Overlord awakes much sooner than is realized, this time in control of cyberspace, something that New Ninjago City relied profoundly on. But even then, the Overlord was defeated by the Second Spinjitzu Master (or Zane, but I think Lloyd makes more sense to deafeat the Overlord) Banished now for the third time, the Overlord decides to bide his time, as not to be called the "Ultimate Failure" rather than the "Ultimate Evil" But he will return, in a day when the Ninja have passed away and, with time, long forgotten. Someday when many generations of Spinjitzu Masters have risen and fallen. The time will come for conquering, but the time is not now...
