Marvel Heroes Black Knight (Dane Whitman)

A scientist swept into a world of romantic adventure and mysticism, Dane Whitman is the modern-day Black Knight, heir to a legacy that stretches back to the legendary kingdom of Camelot in 6th Century Britain. Born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Dane Whitman grows up to achieve a Master’s degree in physics. When his super-criminal scientist uncle Nathan Garrett, AKA Black Knight, lay dying, he urges Dane to redeem the family name and the Black Knight guise by using it in the service of justice. Dane agrees and works to master his late uncle’s weapons and technology, creating a winged horse he named Aragorn. A scientist himself, Dane and his assistant Norris created a magnetic ray device designed to communicate with life in outer space. They unwittingly contacted exiled Earth-born super-criminal Magneto, who used their transmission to return to Earth. By this time, a treacherous Norris had attacked Dane in hopes of killing him and claiming sole credit for their work, but Magneto imprisoned both scientists, demanding that they serve him. Dane escaped and went into action for the first time as the Black Knight, trying to warn the Avengers that Max Eisenhardt, AKA Magneto, had captured their teammates, Pietro Maximoff, AKA Quicksilver, and Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch; but the Avengers mistook Dane for his uncle and attacked him. The misunderstanding was soon cleared up, but an irritated Whitman flew off after delivering his warning. Highly intelligent, Dane is a trained unarmed combatant, superb swordsman and expert horseman. Though specializing in physics, he is proficient in a wide array of advanced sciences and technologies, including genetic and mechanical engineering. He has strong strategic and tactical skills. When Dane touches his mystic pendant and invokes the name of Avalon, he conjures up his equipment and steed. His armor and weapons are extremely lightweight but supernaturally durable. His Shield of Night not only protects him from most attacks but also absorbs the energy of the forces directed against it. He can then release that stored energy in the form of power blasts from his blade, the Sword of Light. His winged steed Strider can fly at great speeds and is is even capable of traveling underwater. While riding Strider, Dane is magically able to breathe regardless of his environment. Dane sometimes employs the Ebony Blade, an indestructible, enchanted sword that cuts through any substance. It can also deflect, disrupt, absorb or penetrate energy fields and energy beams, including mystical energies; however, long-term use of the Blade can have negative mental or physical effects, especially if the Blade is used to shed blood or kill, in which case the blade usually compels its user to seek more bloodshed. Long-term wielders of the blade develop a mystical connection with it, and under certain conditions can transport themselves through space and even time to the Blade’s location if they have been separated from it. The spirits of people slain by the Blade are sometimes trapped within an astral realm linked to the sword. The Blade is said to render its wielder unkillable, though its sister weapon, the Ebony Dagger, can overcome this mystical protection. The current status of the Ebony Blade (and how many duplicates of same may exist) is a matter of some confusion. Sean Dolan, AKA Bloodwraith, was the Blade’s most recent longtime wielder, and how or if he may have lost the Blade remains unrevealed, but several other people have more recently wielded some version of the Ebony Blade: Dane Whitman, who was housing his version of the Blade in the Black Knight Museum before he recently began using it again; a seemingly unrelated new Black Knight, who serves as an overzealous agent of the Vatican and comports himself as a modern-day religious crusader, recently participating in a super-criminal assault on the “heathen” nation of Wakanda; and Wakanda’s ruler, T’Challa, AKA Black Panther, who stripped the Vatican’s knight of his Blade and kept it for his own use thereafter. One of these recently-employed Blades may be the late Proctor’s Ebony Blade, an alternate-reality version of the sword, last seen in the custody of the Avengers. Dane’s notable past weapons include his power lance and his laser sword. His original primary weapon, a mechanical power lance, was outfitted with heat beams, force beams, gas emitters and bola launchers. His laser sword, also known as his neural sword or photonic sword, generates an adjustable “blade” of energy which can act as a penetrating laser or as an immaterial energy column that stuns a victim without doing physical damage. Dane first rides Aragorn, a genetically engineered white horse with wings; Aragorn’s bird-like wings enable him to fly, with enough thrust to carry aloft several passengers as well. Though they get separated during Dane’s time in the Crusades.
