A Pittsburgh-born mutant industrialist who absorbs kinetic energy and uses it as strength. He seizes the Hellfire Club as Black King, builds his fortune on Sentinel contracts, and repeatedly clashes with the X-Men. He is murdered by Emma Frost, memory-wiped, and resurrected, sits on Krakoa's Quiet Council, murders Kate Pryde, later bargains with Orchis, and is finally killed by Emma Frost in a Hellfire Gala plot.
Fox films
