Changes: Black Knight (What a Night for a Knight)

Revision as of 13:05, 1 December 2019

This article is about the character from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode What a Night for a Knight. For other uses, see Black Knight (disambiguation).

The Black Knight was the disguise of Mr. Wickles, used to scare visitors away from the County Museum during his art forgery scheme.

Physical appearance

A traditional English large, black, suit of armour with red feathers on its helmet. While believed to be empty, it had yellow eyes glowing from within its visor.

Personality

The Black Knight sought to terrorize anyone it encountered.

Powers and abilities

It only comes alive on nights when the Moon is full. He was also pretty strong and very agile, considering suits of armor can greatly reduce a person's mobility and speed, for example.

History

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Season one

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo found an abandoned truck with a mysterious suit of armor inside and contacted Fred, Daphne, and Velma for help. The gang determined that the armor had been in the care of a Professor Hyde White and was being transported to the County Museum.

After taking the truck and the armor to the museum, they learned that the armor was that of the legendary Black Knight and was supposedly haunted by his ghost. Mr. Wickles, the museum curator, was concerned that the legends of the Black Knight were true and that Hyde White was its latest victim. After investigating, the gang trapped the Knight and revealed that it was Mr. Wickles, who was using the disguise to scare people away while he swapped the museum's paintings with forgeries and selling the real paintings for profit.^[1]

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (DC Comics)

The gang's exploits in solving the case had been put into a newspaper, which Shaggy found while rummaging through boxes in his garage.^[2]

Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost

The gang had apparently been given it as a keepsake, but when they were forbade to pursue anymore mysteries after nabbing the wrong guy, this necessitated to remove all trace of their past mysteries, which included having a garage sale of selling off the Black Knight suit along with other mementos.^[3]

In a crossover in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!, the costume is seen along with those of other classic Scooby-Doo villains.
It is in the comic-book style opening credits of the DTV Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon.
