Conrad Krueger was one of the most brilliant scientists in the world, yet he was so obsessed that his mind finally break down. He was sent to a state psychiatric institution and in the solitude of the padded cell he created the identity of the Black Knight, modeled after the medieval knights. The Black Knight spoke in old English and, beyond his conquest desire, he used to follow the knight's code. After escaping from the institution, Krueger assembled a group of outsiders, armed them with technology surprisingly advanced for his time, and led them with iron fist into raiding banks, armored vehicles, and jewelry stores.
POWERS & WEAPONS
The Black Knight and his men traveled on some kind of flying motorcycles and carried electrified lances and swords that could penetrate the door of a safe. They all wore chain mail and special bulletproof shields.
