As with the rest of this page (hence the deletion template slapped on it), that description is outdated. I believe that many of the new timelines recognize the species first as "Negatives" rather than "Dark Matter", and explain their substance as a gas that is kept magnetized around a central core.

You've correctly guessed the second bit, though - the species was originally a direct import from the Kirby franchise with a couple of... we'll call them creative licenses. The concept has been gradually reworked over the years to resemble its origin less and less, done so in an effort to move away from copyrighted content.
