This version, Sir Percy of Scandia, was an actual knight of Camelot who battled Mordred the Evil after the death of King Arthur. … This Black Knight became a villain, battling the Avengers before repenting and passing the sword on to his nephew, Dane Whitman.Nov 5, 2021
Cover art by George Tuska. Dane Whitman or Black Knight is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The third character to bear the Black Knight name, he was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema, and first appeared in The Avengers #47 (Dec. 1967).
A Black Knight is usually found in settings in which a Knight in Shining Armor is also present. Frequently, they revel in combat. A common subversion is that they're not actually evil, but merely a Self-Proclaimed Knight. … Note that, although being a black knight, this character is still a knight.
Using his mantle's villainous past to his advantage, Dane used the Black Knight's reputation to gain membership with the Masters of Evil. Helping defeat them from within, Black Knight proved himself to the Avengers and became an important member of the team.
After his uncle's death, Dane inherited Garrett's castle and learned that Nathan was secretly the villain Black Knight by finding notes of his inventions. Garrett told his nephew to honor his legacy by being a good man, telling him not to become a villain that he was by joining the Masters of Evil.
Blade's narration shows that he does not think of himself as a hero, because in the world of Marvel's resident vampire hunter, there are no heroes or villains – just him and the "bloodsuckers" he has devoted his life to killing.
Dane Whitman Will Become The The MCU's Next Black Knight When he finally does, it's revealed that he's come into possession of the Ebony Blade whose corruptive power already seems drawn to Dane himself.
Thor would easily win the battle against Dane Whitman's Black Knight, although he had surprisingly lost to the original Black Knight, Sir Percy of Scandia. The Black Knight has some superpowers due to his magical artifacts and scientific knowledge, but he's still only human.
