Mo(r)dred in the UK Black Knight strip...
...is unquestionably the Mordred who tackled the Black Knight in the 1950s comic. Marvel Super-Heroes #17 depicted the spirit of the Asgardian Mordred empowering le Sabre to fight the modern day Black Knight; when le Sabre failed, Mordred was chasisted by his demonic masters. Hulk Comic #40 and Hulk Comic #41 represented the same story, noting that this was the Evil Walker Modred, showing Mordred dressed in the same robes he wore during the Otherworld saga, and revealing that the Nethergod Mandrac was one of those demonic masters.
