It doesn't look like there are many games were the MC has some dark power, but you might find what you are looking for in the following titles:
Emberwood by @emberwood-if
Fell Star by @fell-star-if

Good day, madame/sir/your royal majesty! May I request a:
Hero has a evil superpower that was forced upon them by Villain and they try to hide it the struggle they’re having with it, but they accidentally lose control infront of Villain and now Villain has to mentor them.
Depending on people, it’s not a very open ended request so absolutely no pressure if you don’t want to do it! 🤎
"You did this to me," Hero hissed, smoke trailing off their tongue. “Now you want to help? Are you so sick that you have to micromanage my misery too?"
As always when their powers misfired, everything felt hot and tender. From their skin to the roots of their hair, to the nerve endings in every inch of their body. It was like an electric charge had surged through their insides and left them fried. What was worse was that they felt it building back up again. A threat beneath the surface of their skin that would grow and push until it found a way to do harm all over again.
Villain dared close those few steps between them, gently trapping their wrists in both hands. The destructive swelling in their chest and head immediately went flat. A breath of fresh air after drowning. A rush of ice over an open flame. It was relief and exhaustion wrapped in one.
Hero probably should have jerked away immediately, but it was all they could do to stay standing and glare. Besides, active resistance would drain them of what little fight they had left in case things went really bad.
"Come, Hero," Villain said, thumbs rubbing the insides of their wrists. "It's not as if it's all bad."
"Actually it is."
"Because you killed a bunch of people in front of a bunch of other people you're obsessed with pleasing?"
Hero glared down into Villain's vacant eyes, pretending to not be chilled, even now in their anger, by the cold, dark hollows. "Shut up."
"You've killed people before. In secret. A kidnapper here, a serial murderer there, people you know the world is better off without. You just didn't want your fan club to know that about you. Their shoddy opinion is the only thing keeping you together."
"Shut up!"
Screw conserving energy. They yanked back against Villain's grip, but the criminal's fists tightened like shackles. They aimed every unstable emotion in their smug direction, but for the first time, the ravenous beast inside them did not surface.
"Let me finish."
"You don't know anything about me!" Hero shouted. "You're trying to make me seem like you! But the deaths I've chosen and the deaths you've forced upon me are completely different!"
The villain raised their eyebrows.
Hero hated that look. The skepticism in it. Hero was not like Villain. They couldn't be. They'd been perfectly fine before Villain trapped them with this horrific ability.
They tried not to imagine the criminals from earlier, the fear in their eyes, bodies edged with smokeless black flame--if it could really be called flame without heat--disappearing bit by bit into thin air.
This was all their fault!
"What do you even want?" Hero said. "You give me this power, and what? You want to destroy me? Humiliate me? Or do you just want the company?"
Villain scoffed.
It was Hero's turn to raise their brow. "Really?"
Villain's fingers pressed harder into Hero's skin, enough to make them wince and maybe leave behind some light bruises. "Believe it or not, but not everything I do is about you."
"Forcing destruction powers on me seems a lot about me."
"Consider it a basis for negotiation."
Hero tipped their head inquiringly.
"I help you get that nasty power under control, and you do me favor."
Hero had to stop themselves from gaping. That was the reason? That was why Villain had ruined their life? To have proper leverage to lure them into a deal? They couldn't have just asked them? If what they wanted was so bad they needed to go to such lengths as these, Hero wanted nothing to do with it.
"I'll give you a better one take it away and I don't burn your face into oblivion."
Villain quirked a smiled. "Not possible. Your ability has been carefully embedded into each neuron in your brain. It's a part of you now. I can't undo it. Not without inflicting permanent damage on your psyche."
"I don't believe you."
"Ask anyone. Ask your precious agency doctors. But then...you might have to admit you've become a liability.
Hero gritted their teeth, voice dropping into a bitter hiss, "I hate you."
"Sticks and stones, dear. So, do we have a deal?"
This was dangerous. Getting involved with villains? Especially a crafty rogue like Villain? Hero shouldn't even be considering it. But...they couldn't keep living like this. Hiding away in their house, using every ounce of willpower to keep from destroying everything around them, dreading every call to action, and praying the agency didn't find out just how helpless and weak they really were.
"What guarantee do I have that you can really help me control this thing?"
"None. Except for the promise that you don't have to help me until I've helped you."
Hero clenched and unclenched their fists, working up the willpower to say what they already knew they would.
"Fine."
"Fine?" Villain repeated.
"I'll do it." Hero's words were tinged with a growl. "What even is this favor anyway? Or am I not allowed to know?"
Villain shrugged, as if the thought of Hero messing up their plans was so impossible it wasn't even worth thinking about. "You're going to bring me some things from inside the agency. And you're not going to get caught."

IZEK STRAZNI
My two Izek's from two different games I run and plan to run.
The first is from my current game... he's gone through stuff and a pretty big arc, he's joined the party in hopes of helping rescue his sister from Castle Ravenloft. (The party is currently level 12). If you have any questions about him I'd love to spill the deets however I can!
The second is... in my opinion the perfect Izek, at least one that I have wanted to tackle for a while now. There is a theme and archetype I've been to try and apply to his character after running him once (twice actually but in one game I had to end abruptly) already and I am super stoked to see how my players find him in the rerun.
Oh yeah, I guess I haven't mentioned it here but Hi! I am also a Curse of Strahd DM! Looking forward to sharing little bits from my current game and LOADS more from my Re-run.
Current game: One Braided Fate
Re-run: Torch Be Yours!

The Dark Power : Those who lost and the one who won
The Dark Power wasn't supposed to infect Kyouya.
First, Kyouya has all this arc with the Wolf Canyon that differentiate him from Hikaru and Tsubasa. And the Dark Power doesn't overwhelm him as he does with Hikaru, Tsubasa and Ryuuga.
And those aren't the only differences. Let's take a look at two other points showing the difference in Hikaru's, Tsubasa's and Kyouya's reaction, and consequently on Dark Power's influence on them.
Psychological influence
The Dark Power, and Ryuuga, uses a psychological ascendancy to win. Their power impress, or even scare their opponents. If it's not enough, however, Ryuuga doesn't hesitate to use words to make their opponents doubt about themselves.
Hikaru looses even before the duel's beginning.
"Why did I- Why did I think I could ever win for a moment… against a guy like that ?"
-Hikaru, episode 41
Thought Tsubasa resists longer than Hikaru, using the strategy he planned to battle Ryuuga, he looses before the battle's end.
Ryuuga : What's wrong ? If you think you can dodge it, give it a try. If you think you can stop it then go ahead and stop it. Why don't you ?
Tsubasa : Don't quit Eagle.
Ryuuga : I congratulate you for being able to make me use some of my real strenght. As a reward, I'll take extra special care and stealing that power from you. (...) It's finished. You were reckless and foolish to even consider challenging me in a battle at all.
Ryuuga : So say hello to the pit of despair!
-episode 45
Tsubasa lets Ryuuga's words (and power) touch him without replying. At the end of their duel, he's entirely passive.
On the other hand, we have Kyouya. He is evenly matched with Ryuuga, driving him to give up the Dark Power for their duel and even snatching some kind of compliment from Ryuuga:
"You are no match for me. (…) However, I can't remember anyone taking so many of my direct hits without completely collapsing. I give you credit for that."
Kyouya fights Ryuuga as if he was any other blader (an interesting blader, not a horrible monster he has to defeat to protect the world). He returns every blow and taunt, without being impressed, and even less scared, by Ryuuga. When L-Drago's Dark Power intervenes, Kyouya isn't afraid…
Ryuuga : Ah what ?
While Ryuuga is shocked by the Dark Power's apparition. This is the first time he shows such an expression.
Kyouya is destabilized, somewhat worried for Ryuuga, but he isn't afraid.
Kyouya : Ryuuga ? What's wrong ? (…) Yeah. Just when I thought it was getting good. Now the circus' act is becoming a bit much, huh ? Hey Ryuuga ?
He tries reaching out to Ryuuga but the Dark Power entirely overwhelms him. It soliloquizes about its need and Kyouya's answer is just :
"Okay, that's really nice. Go ahead, and try. But I'll never let you steal from me my blader's spirit. (then, thinking) Ginga, take a good look. This is my blader's spirit."
Kyouya stays in fighting mode until the end of their battle. The last sentence he says is adressed to Leone "Shatter him ! Let's use everything that we've got left !"
If Kyouya looses the duel, he isn't the one who looses against the Dark Power. Ryuuga is. The Dark Power controls him as a puppet at the end of the battle.
A symbolic detail
Hikaru and Tsubasa fall. Kyouya doesn't. He's standing despite his defeat, which is shown from different angles. He never hits the ground.

The first thought that came to me was that everything I had done was undone, useless, and it had not at all turned out the way I had wanted.— I realized that some dark power, some ineffable bad luck was struggling against me.

Nightmares as Teachers: Fear Used as a Source of Power
Nightmares are generally misunderstood. They are often met with contempt and are written off as something that is only meant to terrorize us. But just because nightmares can leave us with a feeling of dread and negativity, doesn’t mean that they aren’t trying to help us. Nightmares can be great teachers and messengers that bring light to what we must explore about ourselves or our surrounding environment. Nightmares could stem from traumas or basic fears, whether these are found in our conscious or subconscious mind. They can bring attention to things we need to heal about ourselves and they are an opportunity to face the fears we need to face.
If you are terrified by a nightmarish being(s) in your dreams, be open to hearing their side of the story and you may find that they are trying to help you. These beings and creatures of the nightmare realm serve a purpose and they may very well be trying to teach you to embrace your power. They may be presenting you with tests for you to overcome, bringing you out of your comfort zones so that you are pushed to grow stronger. By presenting you with obstacles and difficulties, they are providing you with an opportunity to grow and empower yourself. To energetically overcome your fears, sometimes the being would want you to fight them. And other times, showing them compassion is the way to overcome your fear. But it would all depend on the individual and their tests.
Not only can nightmares serve as teachers, they can be used as a source of power by drawing upon fear to empower yourself. Cultivating your fear’s energy to build your power can be a useful technique. To use fear, you must embrace it as a part of your being and meet it with open arms, realizing that fear is not an evil thing. When you change your perception of fear and treat it with a form of compassion, you’ll find that nightmares and fear can help you along your journey.

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.
because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!
needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture
#light mage about to unleash an absurd amount of infrared radiation wearing those heat suits volcanologists use:#of course many light mages dabble in dark magic as extra layers of protection#and vice versa - dark mages using light magic to light up their work spaces#though most specialize#sadly all theories of perpetual spell craft - light spell powering a dark spell#have been proven to not be feasable

frank: let me get this straight. thalia and jason’s domain is the sky, percy’s domain is water, and hazel and nico’s domain is basically the underground?
annabeth: yes
frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?
annabeth: yes
frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?
annabeth: yes
frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?
annabeth: yes.
annabeth: but don’t tell him. he hasn’t had that realization yet
#and it will be a bad day for his enemies when he finally does#percy is also the only one with healing/regeneration abilities#there is a reason many people say poseidon is more powerful than zeus#zeus is lucky poseidon has no interest in being king#percy be scary#but doesn’t realize it#percy jackson#heroes of olympus#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#annabeth chase#lol#jason grace#frank zhang#nico di angelo#dark!percy#seaweed brain

Something else differentiated Kyouya to Hikaru and Tsubasa.
Kyouya is the only one talking about the blader's spirit. Hikaru and Tsubasa say they are going to battle Ryuuga, but they never talk about it. We don't even know if they believe in it. More importantly… Let's look closer at his quotes about the blader's spirit, in episode 49:
Kyouya : But I have the blader's spirit. This is how Leone and I fight and win.
Ryuuga : How nice for you two. Now I'm just gonna crush that spirit like a bug.
Kyouya : This is far from over. Go ahead and try but you'll never touch my blader's spirit.
And later
Dark Power : The only way to heal our wounds… The only way… to heal our wounds… We need blader's power to.
Kyouya : Okay, that's really nice. Go ahead, and try. But I'll never let you steal from me my blader's spirit. thinking Ginga, take a good look. This is my blader's spirit.
Kyouya doesn't only talk about his blader's spirit as something that'll help him win, he also says openly he'll prevent Ryuuga, L-Drago and the Dark Power to influence his blader's spirit.
I notice it because I search it to make this post… But Kyouya's spirit is the first one to help Ginga in episode 51. First as the shield preventing Ginga to fall
then as an added power
His spirit, even trapped by L-Drago's Dark Power, can make his own decisions and acts as he decides.

thinking about being the new addition to tf141. you are an asset given to laswell by the CIA, a timid little thing but your aim is always on target, and you are quiet, tech savvy, and you do as you're told. (18+, dark)
just how lieutenant riley prefers. he dwarfs you. the first time you meet, your eyes nearly come out of your head from how wide they go. he's so large, and you feel so tiny compared to him, and even though he does nothing but a disinterested once over, it is obvious to the rest of the team that you might just be his favorite.
it's most obvious in the subtle touches. when you're getting ready to jump, ghost comes up from behind and tugs on your parachute, nearly topping you over making sure it's secure. when you're getting ready in the back of the humvee, he reaches over and buckles your thigh holster for you when he notices the strap is coming loose. you nearly choke when you feel his big hand between your thighs, and you stare up at him with wide eyes when his pinkie moves up the seam of your zipper when he tugs his hand away.
and then the way he's on your six is unlike anything else. like glue, chest pressed to your back, his gloved hand squeezing your waist as he moves you every which way he pleases because you're so small to him, so easy, and he growls under his breath when he touches the curve of your hips or the fat of your ass.
maybe you might enjoy it if he wasn't so fucking awkward about it. if he didn't stare at you without blinking. if he didn't adjust his cock in his jeans right in front of you. if he didn't grip you by the back of your head, tugging you any way he wanted as if scolding a kitten using the scruff of their neck.
you think the team would notice by now--that they would step in, tell ghost to back off, but they turn a blind eye. they tolerate this behavior, and you don't know if it's because ghost is so good at his job, they don't want to, or that they are so afraid of him, they refuse to say anything.
or maybe they approve. maybe it keeps ghost at bay. maybe it keeps a lion in his den. a spider in its nest. maybe indulging ghost in his fucked form of flirting and socialization is what keeps the foundations of this team right where it needs to be--and you realize, slowly, that maybe that is why you're here.
because ghost likes them soft, and they need to put a muzzle on their dog.
so when you feel him in the dark, slipping a gloved hand under the blanket that keeps you warm at night, he is pleasantly surprised to find you awake. and even more surprised to feel your hand slipping the soft lace of your panties right into his fucking pocket.
"they teach y'that 'n basic training? how ta give y'r knickers to y'r lieutenant, eh?"
"no," you whisper, and when you meet his eyes in the dark, he looks so hungry. he's untamed, no training, he's used to getting what he wants with no resistance. you turn over in bed, and you don't get to see the way he sucks on his teeth when you let your knees fall, revealing the pretty place between your thighs, soft and puffy and wet, just waiting for a good mutt to eat her up. "but i learned other things."
"tha' right?"
"yeah," you say softly, and you turn over onto your stomach, pushing back onto your knees right in front of him. he bends, leaning over until he's pushing his masked face right into the seam of your cunt, and you grip the sheets tight when he inhales deeply, a rumble following as both of his hands grip either side of your ass and spread you open for him. you're drooling, wetting the nylon fabric, and you gasp when you feel the wet, warm muscle of his tongue suck on your folds through the mask. it's lewd, and you're wetting the material so much it sticks to the strong lines of his face, but he continues, tilting his head to the side as he laps at the pretty slick that dampens your thighs.
"what'd y'learn then, swee'eart?"
not how to fuck your lieutenant. but...you did learn to keep them happy.
"h-how to be a good girl."
and you think you feel him smile.
