Black Knight

The Black Knight is a supervillain and an enforcer for the Maggia.

History
Black Knight is part of the Maggia faction led by Count Nefaria. When Black Knight is ordered to kill Pepper Potts, Iron Man intervenes. Black Knight ends up fighting Iron Man and ends up defeated. When the police arrive, Black Knight and Count Nefaria are arrested along with the other Maggia troops that didn't escape.

In the episode Line of Fire, Justin Hammer calls in Black Knight to deal with the Black Panther who has been disrupting Hammer Multinational's Vibranium smuggling operation form Wakanda. Black Knight attacks Black Panther at his press conference at the Wakandan Embassy. Black Knight knocks Black Panther off his hover cycle only for him to be saved by Iron Man. When Iron Man is shot down, Black Panther manages to damage Black Knight's hover cycle causing Black Knight to retreat. Black Knight and Nakea (who wanted revenge for what Black Panther did to her brother) meet up with a Stark International operative named Rykland until Black Panther and Iron Man arrive. Iron Man ends up fighting Black Knight and defeating him. Black Knight, Nakea, and those involved are arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. and transported to the Vault prison.

When Titanium Man starts taking out supervillains that used to work for Hammer's secret criminal empire, Black Knight tried to run out of town when he dropped Whiplash in a car compactor. Iron Man tried to catch him and pinned him down, but Black Knight took out his sword and pushed him into the street where he almost got hit by a truck. The Black Knight manages to escape Iron Man.
