Black Knight has been a member of The Avengers, The Defenders, & MI13, Marvel\u2019s equivalent of the famed real life MI6.\n\nBlade, Created by Marv Wolfman & Gene Colan, this half-man, half-vampire (aka dhampir)\u2019s first appearance was 1973\u2019s The Tomb of Dracula #10. Wesley Snipes played the character in a trio of films that came out from 1998 through 2004 (the second was directed & written by a budding Guillermo del Toro and available on HBOMax).\n\nShe-Hulk\u2019s Past with Eros (aka Starfox), Featured in She-Hulk Vol 2, #6-7, from 2006, written by Dan Slott and art by Will Conrad; the arc ultimately doesn\u2019t really resolve the fate of Eros after his escape from court, so it\u2019s hypothetically possible that the character is still wanted for his crimes on Earth.\n\n\nFor a closed-captioned version of this episode, please visit crooked.com/xrayvision..\xa0\nFor a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com and include the name of the podcast.
