Black Metal`s true identity isn’t known (believed that he never takes off his armor). He was hired by Teng Yun-Suan to over throw the then ruler .Funded by the Kingpin, he established a number of power bases for the Kingpin all over the world. Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. recognized what he was doing and sent Rick Mason to stop him who did just that.
