What is the King in Black Event in Marvel Comics?
The King in Black Event in Marvel Comics revolves around the arrival of Knull Marvel Comics, a powerful Symbiote God also known as Dark God and a Cosmic Tyrant, on Earth. This Ancient Primordial Deity who exists since the creation of the universe and has a hunger for destruction - his goal to reclaim the symbiotes that he created, a mission which ends up threatening the entire universe. The event has taken center stage in several of Marvel Comic's biggest crossovers and brought an abundance of chaos and upheaval as Marvel Universe heroes must work together to resist this Symbiote God. Knull's invasion and his massive force, which consists of an array of Symbiote Dragons and Symbiotes seeking to conquer the world - creates an incredibly powerful challenge.
The fight to combat those Knull's threat to the entire galaxy has involved several Marvel Comic's characters and introduced an exciting blend of powerful forces - a significant event, one that continues to serve as an impressive demonstration of the scope of those heroes, like Venom, as they battle against the Dark Side, to combat the power of Knull.
Who are the Most Notable Venom Hosts in Marvel Comics?
The Venom symbiote has a long and rich history across Marvel's productions and even its most significant Venom hosts (the characters who serve as vessels for its powers), often face an array of difficulties, a constant battle against both their own demons and those trying to destroy them. However, those who enjoy this story arc will easily notice the important figures that have made this a notable element across Marvel Comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Some of the most notable figures: Eddie Brock, Flash Thompson as they serve as the Venom's most well-known and recognizable hosts. Both characters show a very intense and conflicting battle to master the Venom's abilities (that provide an incredible amount of strength and often destructive power) with a desire to use them to save the world or to defend their community from dangerous enemies. These characters showcase the struggle that each host will endure, as they learn how to adapt their own morals with the Venom Symbiote.
What Are Knull's Powers in the Marvel Universe?
Knull - considered to be a powerful and nearly omnipotent Dark God - has a unique and formidable set of abilities. He's a formidable enemy, as well as the Symbiote God of all those that follow those alien creatures that connect with various Marvel Comic's Heroes - but with their dark force as well as their desire to bring about chaos. Knull’s powers stem from an ability to wield an intense amount of cosmic energy.
One can imagine how those who battle against him - such as the Silver Surfer (who is granted a Power Cosmic) have often had to confront those same cosmic forces. There are several characters who also face Knull, and even those who come to battle him have to resort to tapping into those powers to counter his forces: the Black Knight who wields an ancient and mysterious weapon - The Ebony Blade which also connects to powerful forces within the Marvel Universe. These Heroes must find unique, innovative ways to face the challenges they encounter. In the case of Knull, they must do so against one of the oldest Cosmic Tyrants who was born into a dark and dangerous world.
Who has Defeated Knull in Marvel Comics?
Those Marvel Comic's readers, and fans who are deeply rooted in this franchise will have come to appreciate that Knull is a fearsome, menacing villain. Even those who battle him face challenges as his Dark God nature often seeks to end all life - one of the most difficult villains that has often led to the loss of countless lives. Knull was finally vanquished by Eddie Brock. He's considered a central character and a pivotal component in Venom: The Last Dance
With Eddie's role as the host for Venom (the main anti-hero, who is often called a symbol of chaos, in the same vein as the Symbiote that makes him such a notable villain - giving viewers an interesting sense of moral gray areas), he takes on the power of the Enigma Force, and it's an intense and powerful energy - one that allows those connected to it to confront cosmic forces.
Has Knull Been In The MCU?
While Knull, one of the greatest Symbiote God villains within Marvel Comics, has yet to make his official entrance to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans are anticipating an arrival - and it will likely be in Venom: The Last Dance where Eddie Brock makes a comeback.
Even with the anticipation of seeing a new, iconic figure (Knull), the introduction of characters such as Namor Ruler of Atlantis in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has set the stage. With a new universe and a large expansion - Knull's introduction, who possesses powerful abilities such as being able to control the Symbiotes and their dark powers (something those fans will easily recognize from Marvel Comic's "Venom") - those following the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be surprised by what the character could be like - particularly in this expanded universe.

However, when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - those who enjoy these events and watch the movie releases. They will recognize a distinct set of storylines and those that appear to take place in a world of their own, although the MCU does often reference the characters that have made their appearances. The creators often go back to those iconic, familiar faces - for inspiration.
What Happens If Knull Enters the MCU?
With Knull being an Ancient Primordial Deity and having an impact on Marvel Comics (as seen in the King in Black Event), those who follow the Marvel Cinematic Universe will anticipate a series of intense, even destructive events when he enters the universe.
A key aspect that those following this story can appreciate is how much influence Knull will have. There's a chance that the MCU might find itself changing as those powerful entities begin to work on reshaping their own world. We could be looking at Knull taking on roles that were once reserved for Thanos, in the case of the Infinity Gauntlet MCU - serving as an incredible and potentially destructive force that would impact several heroes and even the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful characters. For those who watch the MCU with interest - one of the most common and exciting features has been a desire to see powerful forces - and that might just happen with the introduction of Knull and his symbiotes.

The introduction of the X-Men will add an element of drama and danger to the world - as well as showcasing just how influential they can be. It's easy to understand why there's great enthusiasm about how they are being introduced. With Professor Xavier, a figure who can connect to a wide range of minds (in his role as one of the X-Men’s main mentors, providing powerful and unique abilities - his powers in telepathy) in the Marvel Comics universe. This opens a potential for these characters to face the Symbiote God Knull - as they become those who have the skills and powers that can combat a cosmic villain who has a power that stretches far and wide across the universe. In a sense, we could see them in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, showcasing those powers that allow them to communicate with various individuals.
