For Melisandra, as a prelude to the part that I promise I will get to in the near future.
The part to come will involve participation by/intervention of the following character, who I think needs zero explanation.
The Black Knight (Avengers 47 1967)
Dane (yes, that's right) Whitman is best known as the modern-day Black Knight, continuing a legacy that began in medieval England.
Black Knight, as opposed to a White Knight of the Kingsguard, obviously.
The first Black Knight, Whitman's ancestor Sir Percy of Scandia, lived during the reign of King Arthur. Percy's murder at the hand of his nemesis Modred began a string of successors, all of them Percy's descendants. Dane inherited Castle Garrett and traveled to England. He encountered the spirit of Sir Percy of Scandia there and was given the Ebony Blade - a blade carved from a meteor, and enchanted by the wizard Merlin.
Ok, so a sword made from a meteor is passed down through descendants of one family. Nope, never heard that before!
The blade is cursed with the souls of all those slain by Sir Percy. The blade is indestructible and able to cut through almost any material. It can trap dead souls and absorb or deflect all kinds of energies and mystical power.
Additionally, the Blade bonded to its wielder in such a way that the wielder can summon it back to himself or herself using a mystical ceremony if it is ever lost, even if it was in a different time period. The Blade formerly rendered its wielder invulnerable to everything except another weapon carved from the same meteor.
Dane Whitman eventually purged the Blade of its curse at Doctor Strange's behest by plunging it into the Brazier of Truth while Strange bathed them both in magic fire. However, the curse returned, and Dane eventually gave the Blade up.
Bathed in magic fire generated by a dude that has been pegged as the comic equivalent of Bran/Jon. One of whom can travel through time via a treenet. Hmmm.
He drove it deep into the same meteor from which it was forged, now residing in his castle. Only another deemed worthy would be able to withdraw it.
Da fuq, George.
But let's not forget Dane's other talents, including:
Excellent swordsman and hand to hand combatant
Expert horseman
Strong strategist and tactician
Magic senses
Wields the Sword of Light and Shield of Night
DA FUQ, GEORGE.
Yep, total coincidence with the comic! Only the most minor and inconsequential influence!!
