History

Little is detailed about Black Knight’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Black Knight (Earth-616).

Presumably, Dane receives a call from Nick Fury to join the resistance aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, and leaves to join them.

With the extremely varied bunch all assembled on the Helicarrier, Nick explains how serious he believes the situation to be; that it is the end of the world. He also explains that whatever the histories of those assembled, they are all on the same side.

It can also be assumed that he was part of the team sent back down to the surface to battle the zombies, unsuccessfully, it would seem as a zombified Black Knight is later seen as part of the zombie masses that attack Magneto and his small band of survivors in their subway hideaway.

Though his ultimate fate is unknown, it can be assumed that he was fried by the Power Cosmic Zombies when they test out their new powers.
