Mr. C is an Evil Mystery Within Twin Peaks

Mr. C is the evil doppelganger of Dale Cooper, an FBI agent who ended up stuck in the Red Room for 25 years. Mr. C takes his place in the real world, wreaking havoc upon anybody who stands in his way. Mr. C became determined to not return to the Red Room, where he would be sent back to the Black Lodge. Mr. C apparently had a time limit with staying on Earth, and he was doing whatever he could to avoid going back to his realm. 

His stay on Earth during the 25-year mark was terrifying, because he hurt so many people that Dale Cooper was close to, and I can't imagine the confusion of all of these people over the years, wondering why Cooper had transformed into an evil monster. It was so scary how Mr. C came off as a soulless monster, he was truly the complete opposite of what Dale Cooper was. 

Luckily, the police department back in Twin Peaks had already figured out the real truth, and due to the father of Bobby Briggs, they knew Mr. C was the evil Cooper, not the one they were all familiar with all those years ago. 

Mr. C learned about an entity known as Judy, who could help him avoid returning back to the Black Lodge. She was apparently just as dangerous when it came to the entity known as Bob, who he carried within himself whenever he committed vile actions against anyone on Earth. 

I think that Mr. C refused to return to the Black Lodge, because he felt in control in the real world. Maybe he wasn't as powerful within the Black Lodge, and he wanted to continue hurting others, doing whatever he pleased. It was eerie how he was able to get away with his crimes for 25 years, and it makes you wonder how many people Mr. C had murdered or harmed over the years. His powers were also a total mystery. Whenever he got killed, entities from the Black Lodge would appear, helping him heal from his wounds. My guess is that Mr. C was able to pull his recovery off every single time, because he knew the power he held over the entities in the Black Lodge, because he was no longer stuck in that supernatural realm. 

It was satisfying to watch Mr. C fall when he confronted the police department in Twin Peaks. After everything he had subjected his victims to, he totally deserved his fate, of getting sent back to the Black Lodge, where he belonged. 

He was burnt alive by the Red Room, as punishment for refusing to return. 

Now that is a fitting end to a monster that never should have taken the place Dale Cooper, a good man who never deserved such a fate.
