==Black Knight II==
:  Nathan Garrett
:: Joined Masters of Evil: Avengers 6 (founding member)
:: A descendant of the heroic Black Knight of Arthurian times, scientist and failed spy Nathan Garrett adopted his ancestor's identity as a criminal guise, using pseudo-knightly weapons and paraphernalia he'd created through his own scientific genius, including a multi-weapon lance and a winged horse. As the Black Knight, Garrett fought Giant-Man (who had ended Garrett's spy career), Wasp, Iron Man and Spider-Man, and battled the Avengers twice as a founding member of the original Masters of Evil. Later, though, he fell from his flying horse during a battle with Iron Man and died, but not before he made his nephew Dane Whitman swear to use the Black Knight identity for good, which Whitman has done as a member of the Avengers. Garrett's equipment has since been stolen and adapted by a new criminal, the Dreadknight.
