**Knull** ([/nʌl/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English)) is a [supervillain](/source/Supervillain) appearing in [American comic books](/source/American_comic_books) published by [Marvel Comics](/source/Marvel_Comics). Created by writer [Donny Cates](/source/Donny_Cates) and artist [Ryan Stegman](/source/Ryan_Stegman), the character debuted in *[Venom](/source/Venom_(comic_book))* vol. 4 #3 (August 2018), and later retroactively established as the unnamed black-armored figure in [Jason Aaron](/source/Jason_Aaron)'s *[Thor: God of Thunder](/source/Thor%3A_God_of_Thunder_(comics))* #6 (March 2013). Knull is a [primordial](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/primordial) god of darkness from before the universe's seventh iteration. He created the [symbiote race](/source/Symbiote_(comics)) and the weapon [All-Black the Necrosword](/source/All-Black_the_Necrosword), and he rules the symbiotes as the **King in Black**. His introduction altered the established fictional history of the Klyntar, [Venom](/source/Venom_(character)), and [Carnage](/source/Carnage_(character)).

Knull was developed gradually across Cates and Stegman's *Venom* run (2018–2021), first appearing in flashback before escalating to the central antagonist of the "[Absolute Carnage](/source/Absolute_Carnage)" crossover event (2019) and then the main villain of the company-wide "[King in Black](/source/King_in_Black)" event (2020–2021). In that event, he invades Earth with a fleet of symbiote dragons, kills [Sentry](/source/Sentry_(Robert_Reynolds)), and seals the planet in a symbiote sphere that cuts it off from sunlight, before being defeated and killed by Venom, who absorbs his role as King in Black. Following the *[Venom War](/source/Venom_War)* storyline (2024), Knull was resurrected in a 2026 self-titled solo series, written by [Al Ewing](/source/Al_Ewing) and Tom Waltz with art by Juanan Ramirez.

Knull has been described as one of Marvel's most powerful supervillains.[2][3][4][5][6] His creation drew widespread critical attention as a meaningful reinvention of the symbiote mythos. Knull made his live-action feature film debut in the [Sony's Spider-Man Universe](/source/Sony's_Spider-Man_Universe) (SSU) film *[Venom: The Last Dance](/source/Venom%3A_The_Last_Dance)*, portrayed by [Andy Serkis](/source/Andy_Serkis).

## Publication history

The character was first introduced in [*Venom* vol. 4](/source/Venom_(comic_book)) #3 (Aug 2018), giving a nod to a nameless being appearing in *[Thor: God of Thunder](/source/Thor%3A_God_of_Thunder)* #6.[7] The character would be mentioned in various issues of *[Web of Venom](/source/Venom_(comic_book))*, *[Guardians of the Galaxy](/source/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(2008_team))* and "[War of the Realms](/source/War_of_the_Realms)". After that, Knull was the main antagonist in [Donny Cates](/source/Donny_Cates)' *[Silver Surfer: Black](/source/Silver_Surfer%3A_Black)*.

Knull returned in *[King in Black](/source/King_in_Black)* as the main antagonist, which centers on his attack on Earth with his symbiote army.[8] Knull was killed off at the end of *King in Black*, but returned in a self-titled series in 2025. The series is written by [Al Ewing](/source/Al_Ewing) and Tom Waltz, with art by Juanan Ramirez.[9]

## Fictional character biography

### Origin

Knull is a primordial deity who came into being following the destruction of the sixth iteration of the cosmos.[10] He was originally content to drift through "the endless void" until the [Celestials](/source/Celestial_(comics)) arrived and began creating the 7th iteration of cosmos—the Marvel Universe. The Celestials offered him the position of "King in Black" and the responsibility of ensuring stability in their new universe,[11] but upon realizing that the Celestials' "Light of Creation" was slowly despoiling his kingdom of darkness and making him little more than a pawn of the Celestials, Knull retaliated by creating his first [symbiote](/source/Symbiote_(comics)) in the form of a large sword, with which he decapitated the Celestial tasked with monitoring him.[12]

The other Celestials banished Knull and the severed Celestial head deeper into the Void. He then used the head to forge [All-Black the Necrosword](/source/All-Black_the_Necrosword) by combining his symbiote sword with extracted cosmic energy from its brain, a process that inadvertently created [Knowhere](/source/Knowhere).[13] In doing so, he unintentionally gave the symbiotes their weaknesses to high sonic frequencies and fire. He created a symbiote armor and, with All-Black, started killing the other deities, until he crash-landed on an unnamed planet where [Gorr](/source/Gorr_the_God_Butcher) took All-Black from the incapacitated Knull.[14]

Knull eventually reawakened and discovered he could bond his living abyss to "lesser creatures" and control their new forms as vessels. He created an army of symbiotes with himself in the center of the hive mind and used them to spread across the universe, thus establishing the Symbiote Hive and killing the "light and creation" in the process. He continued killing gods, while also enslaving others. At some point, he was approached by the time-displaced [Silver Surfer](/source/Silver_Surfer) who had been weakened after Silver Surfer had created a little star to free a world from Knull's control. After a brief fight, Knull was able to bond a symbiote to Silver Surfer, but the latter was saved by [Ego the Living Planet](/source/Ego_the_Living_Planet).[15] When Knull reached Silver Surfer, he tried to defeat him and re-infect Silver Surfer with his abyss, but Silver Surfer, who had gathered the energy of the cosmos, created a star which was enough to defeat Knull.[16]

When one dragon-like symbiote arrived on medieval Earth to claim the planet as part of the Symbiote Hive, the young [Thor](/source/Thor_(Marvel_Comics)) arrived in aid of the Viking villagers and defeated the dragon, which the villagers called "[Grendel](/source/Grendel_(Marvel_Comics))", causing the connection between Knull and the symbiote hive mind to break. The symbiotes that were scattered over the universe, now free from Knull's control, began bonding to benevolent hosts and learning about the [Light](/source/Divine_light). The symbiotes rebelled against their god and trapped him inside an artificial planet formed of billions of symbiotes, which they called Klyntar—"cage" in their language.[12]

### Meeting Eddie Brock

After thousands of years, [S.H.I.E.L.D.](/source/S.H.I.E.L.D.) discovered the body of Grendel and bonded the pieces of the dragon to soldiers to create Super-Soldiers to fight in the [Vietnam War](/source/Vietnam_War). The procedure was dubbed the [Sym-Soldier program](/source/Weapon_Plus#Weapon_V). This reawakened Knull, allowing him to take control of the Sym-soldiers who went rogue before being captured by [Nick Fury](/source/Nick_Fury) and [Logan](/source/Wolverine_(character)), except one piece, named Rex, which escaped Knull's control.[17] Years later, [Eddie Brock](/source/Eddie_Brock) ([Venom](/source/Venom_(character))) unknowingly freed the dragon and, after a battle against Eddie and [Spider-Man](/source/Miles_Morales), the dragon began searching for Rex to free Knull.[18] However, Venom merged with Rex and trapped Grendel in a blast furnace, incinerating it and Rex.[19]

### Freed by Carnage

In *Carnage Born*, after [Scorn](/source/Scorn_(Marvel_Comics)) joined a cult worshiping Knull, they steal Grendel's codex and [Cletus Kasady](/source/Cletus_Kasady)'s deceased body, and after implanting the codex inside Cletus, the [Carnage](/source/Carnage_(character)) symbiote's codex was absorbed by Grendel, causing Grendel to become god-like. After the contact with Knull, Cletus decided to free Knull by collecting every codex of every host who had at some point bonded to symbiotes to overload the symbiote hive mind and scatter the Klyntar.[20] After Cletus reunited with [Doppelganger](/source/Doppelganger_(Marvel_Comics)) and [Shriek](/source/Shriek_(character)), they reformed the cult dedicated to worshipping Knull. They then returned to Doverton, Colorado, where they receive codices from citizens and animals who were infected by Carnage during *Carnage USA*.[21]

During "[Absolute Carnage](/source/Absolute_Carnage)", as Carnage grew stronger, so did the connection between Knull and the symbiotes, as witnessed when [Phage](/source/Phage_(comics)), [Agony](/source/Agony_(comics)), [Lasher](/source/Lasher_(comics)), [Riot](/source/Riot_(comics)) and [Scream](/source/Scream_(character)) also became corrupt.[22][23] Knull was finally reawakened after Dark Carnage tricked Eddie into killing him after claiming the remaining codices. Knull promptly destroyed Klyntar, manifesting a suit of draconic armor and coalescing its constituent symbiotes into a fleet of symbiote-dragons. Meanwhile, Knull was tracked down by [Wraith](/source/Wraith_(Zak-Del)) who wanted Knull to remove the Exolon parasites from his body.[24] Knull revealed to Wraith that Exolons were just his failed experiments on symbiotes and he dumped that "trash" in The Exoteric Latitude, he stripped the Exolon from Wraith's body turning it into his sword and kicked off Wraith into the space.[25] Knull resumes his campaign against the light while making his way to Earth.[26]

### Conquering Earth and death

Sensing Knull coming at the start of the "[King in Black](/source/King_in_Black)" storyline, Eddie Brock alerts the Avengers. Knull unleashes the Symbiote Dragons on Earth as the [Avengers](/source/Avengers_(comics)), the [Fantastic Four](/source/Fantastic_Four), and the [X-Men](/source/X-Men) fight them. [Sentry](/source/Sentry_(Robert_Reynolds)) takes Knull into Earth's orbit, intending to kill him, but Knull kills Sentry and assimilates the Void. Knull then proceeds to have his Symbiote Dragons form a sphere around Earth to cut it off from the Sun. Knull grabs Venom as he recognizes Eddie as the one who killed Grendel, then he states to Eddie that he is looking for his son, [Dylan Brock](/source/Dylan_Brock). When Eddie begs for Knull to take him instead, Knull rips the Venom symbiote from him and absorbs it.[10]

Knull plans to control Dylan since the latter has the Symbiote codex, but Dylan fights back freeing [Cyclops](/source/Cyclops_(Marvel_Comics)), [Invisible Woman](/source/Invisible_Woman), [Doctor Strange](/source/Doctor_Strange), [Black Cat](/source/Black_Cat_(Marvel_Comics)), and the [Human Torch](/source/Human_Torch). Strange morphs into a stronger form and together the heroes fight back against the symbiotes. [Namor](/source/Namor), Thor and Storm deal heavy damage while [Jean Grey](/source/Jean_Grey)'s psychic powers immobilize Knull, seeing Knull's past and realizing that the God of Light (the [Enigma Force](/source/Enigma_Force_(comics))) is the one thing that can take down Knull. Silver Surfer arrives to where the Enigma Force is and frees it from the Symbiotes. Knull reels in pain and Eddie is chosen to be the new [Captain Universe](/source/Captain_Universe).[27]

Venom manages to make use of [Mjolnir](/source/Mjolnir_(comics)) and Silver Surfer's surfboard, fusing them into a battle axe that is in the shape of Venom's spider emblem. Using his battle axe, Venom starts to shred his way through the Symbiote Dragons upon noting that Knull has become afraid of him. Knull even unleashes a Symbiote-controlled Celestial to aid him, only for Venom to behead it. As Venom rips off Knull's armor, Knull states that the darkness is in Dylan. Venom then picks up Knull, flies into the air, and punches through the Symbiote barrier surrounding Earth, where he uses the Uni-Power to vaporize Knull. As a result of Knull's death, Eddie Brock becomes the god of the Symbiotes now that they are free of Knull's control.[28]

### The King in Black's true purpose

As the new King in Black, Eddie learns from his future self known as the Eventuality that the Kings in Black are picked by the Celestials to serve the same purpose as the [Beyonders](/source/Beyonders)—maintaining the multiverse—but they work from the inside instead of the outside. Knull had refused the work and rebelled against the Celestials.[11]

### Return

Eddie Brock lost his position as King in Black during the *[Venom War](/source/Venom_War)* storyline, creating a cosmic vacancy. Knull is resurrected to fill this vacancy, but is left in a weakened state. Hela captures Knull and takes most of his power, becoming the Queen in Black.[29][30] With his darkness powers drained, Knull turns to the light, conquering the Lightforce Dimension.[31]

## Powers and abilities

Further information: [Symbiote (comics) § Powers and abilities](/source/Symbiote_(comics)#Powers_and_abilities)

Knull possesses superhuman strength and durability.[10][32][33] He is depicted as an immortal being.[34][6] He is able to generate and manipulate eldritch darkness, as he can manifest darkness to create weapons and living creatures, whom he calls the "Living abyss."[12][32][35][36] He is able to forge different types of symbiotes with various abilities, such as dragon-like symbiotes.[37][38] He can remotely influence and control the symbiotes he creates.[12] Knull is also a shapeshifter, being able to turn his human-like mouth into fanged jaws with an elongated tongue—a feature passed on to the symbiotes.[16] With his regenerative healing factor, Knull can recover quickly from injuries.[12] Knull also has the ability to fly.[10]

He is an expert combatant, using All-Black to kill [Celestials](/source/Celestial_(comics)) and other gods, while wearing an armor made from symbiote-matter. Knull's armor is decorated with a red dragon and spiral emblem, which was based on Spiral of [Carcosa](/source/Carcosa) from *[True Detective](/source/True_Detective)*.[39]

## Reception

### Critical reception

Ian Cardona of *[CBR.com](/source/CBR.com)* referred to Knull as a "cross between Marvel's [Dracula](/source/Dracula_(Marvel_Comics)) and the main villain behind *Spider-Verse*, [Morlun](/source/Morlun)", writing, "There is an ethereal, wraith-like quality to his demeanor. He's got the appropriately haunting build, with his broad shoulders and chest covered by armor that makes him appear both regal and powerful. He has terrifyingly sharp teeth, and the signature symbiote tongue."[40] Bradley Prom of *[Screen Rant](/source/Screen_Rant)* called Knull one of Marvel's "memorable antagonists", saying, "It took all of Earth's heroes, along with intergalactic heroes such as the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Kree-Skrull alliance to finally stop him. However, before they all teamed up, Knull beat Silver Surfer, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more, forcing the ultimate team-up to stop one of the most powerful Marvel Comics villains in history."[3]

Knull received particular attention in Sweden and Norway, due to the word *knull* being the noun form of "fuck" (referring to copulation), in Swedish and Norwegian.[41][42][43]

### Accolades

Various online articles have assessed Knull as among the most powerful villains in Marvel Comics,[2][4][5][36][44][45] and among the most powerful symbiotes.[3][35][46][47] In 2020, *[CBR.com](/source/CBR.com)* included Knull in their "Spider-Man: The Best New Villains of the Century" list.[48] In 2022, *[Screen Rant](/source/Screen_Rant)* included Knull in their "Marvel Comics: 13 Most Powerful Symbiotes" list, in their "10 Best Cosmic Villains Not Yet in the MCU" list,[49] and in their "10 Marvel Comics Gods Who Should Join The MCU Next" list.[50]
