History

The Black Knights were the elite soldiers of the Universal Church of Truth, an order of religious zealots who worshipped the entity known as the Magus. They clashed repeatedly with Adam Warlock, and later with Star Lord's Guardians of the Galaxy.

More recently, they infiltrated Earth, setting up a base in Colorado. They were challenged by the Annihilators. They were formerly led by Autolycus until his soul was swallowed by the Soul Gem.
