[QUOTE=Moriarty;443941]is that you Kira's Mom?
anyway, my favorite Black Knight era is the 90s bomber jacket. though, as much as i like Dane i never could get into the Ultraverse stuff...even for him.[/QUOTE]
Yep, I'm Kira's Mom!
Ugh, Ultraverse. I didn't like the characters, and the less said about Dane's look the better!
The 80s and 90s gave him good stories. I loved that he and Hercules were pals. Also, I agree that Dane had a lot more confidence in the 90s, though he was still a bit of a dork with women! He was actually torn between [I]three[/I] women at that time- Sersi, Crystal, and Victoria Bentley- at least until she was killed by Bloodwraith right in front of him. Don't think he ever got over that. She was probably the woman he should have ended up with. :(

[QUOTE=Oberon;443967]Just joining this thread. I like this character a lot, I remember that story beginning him. I've always liked his adventures with Dr Strange and think that those were amongst his best moments, but I liked the arc in Avengers when he was involved with both Sersi and Crystal. That was a great time for the Avengers as well; Procter, Masters/Evil's so brutal invasion of the Avengers's mansion.
He's a great character that needs more exposure.[/QUOTE]
Gotta agree with you on all you said. My favorite is when he was riding Valinor, and except for the "Thorspeak", his adventures in Hulk Weeklys which I was able to read when it was collected in trade.
-
The "Thor-speak" was odd. And also inconsistent- it would just pop up for no reason. Just writers who didn't know the character I guess...
She-Hulk made fun of him for talking that way. *lol*

Yeah, maybe it was the curse making him speak like Thor and/or Sir Percy!

^Probably. Plus all those years stuck in his ancestor's body didn't help!
Here is my least favorite Dane appearance- the Ultimates. Poor Dane! No arms or legs!

And he becomes a Robo-Dane!

Of course, now I'm thinking whoever came up with the idea of Dane losing all of his limbs was a big fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail- that Black Knight was also limbless and mentally unstable!

There were two Black Knights in the ultimate universe, the one you mentioned (robo-Dane)and this one in the Defenders:

Right before the Ultraverse move I think it was John Bryne who had a big event all planned around Black Knight being the main star, but was ultimately set aside. During the 90's Black Knight was actually a star thought to bring readers in. Which is why they brought him into the Ultraverse in an attempt to lure readers to that imprint by having Dane among them.
-
^Would have been nice for Dane to get a big event for himself. Proctor was more about Sersi, and that doesn't really count as an event anyway!
-
I've posted my Black Knight redesign before on the forum, so apologies if you've seen it before, but I might as well pop it in here, too.

I never did finish what I was trying to do with it, but I wanted a more casual, war-torn look. It's been pointed out to me I never did put Dane's dragon symbol on there - I just wasn't sure where I wanted to put it.
-
I like it! I thought his symbol was an eagle, not a dragon.
-
Eagle! Of course. I, uh... get those two animals confused?
:p

Wow, that's too bad about the big event. That would have been great. Hopefully, Dane will have more to do after his Avengers World appearance.
-
I wish he'd get his flying horse back.
-
He still had Strider in MI-13. But I don't think a winged horse would be much use where Dane is during Avengers World! :p
-
I believe I really started liking the Black Knight when he guest-starred in Dr. Strange #68 [1984].
I wouldn't mind seeing more of the two teaming up in a mini-series. Also, like him with Captain
Britain and MI-13.
