History
Nothing is known about Blacksmith, save that while he was in prison he devoted himself to the study of the superhero Moon Knight. Studying and learning all of Moon Knight’s techniques and skills and working out, he continued until he felt he’d equaled the superhero. Incredibly powerful, Blacksmith escapes from prison with his huge mallet and using his forceps, which heated by a backpack, to burn through the necks of his adversaries.Â
Â
On the outside, he is hired by Mr. Latimer to help set a bomb in order to blackmail Manhattan for one billion dollars. Blacksmith accepts the job large because he expects Moon Knight to interfere. He hopes to pit himself against the hero to prove his superiority. All he succeeds in proving is that there is only one Moon Knight, the superhero bringing him to his knees in hand-to-hand combat.Â
Â
As he’s being arrested, the Blacksmith vows to work alone ever after in defeating Moon Knight.
