Warning! Spoilers for Marvel’s King in Black event below

This weekend, Hasbro revealed the King in Black will finally be getting his own Marvel Legends action figure. As part of the Hasbro Pulse Con announcements, the first action figure for Knull the God of Symbiotes was showcased. While details remain scarce, Hasbro did provide a first look at what the villain could look like, with a digital rendering that should have collectors and fans of the character excited.

The King in Black is one of Marvel Comics’ most powerful and terrifying villains ever. Debuting in Venom #3 and created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, Knull is responsible for creating the first symbiote in All-Black the Necrosword. In Marvel’s King in Black event, he enveloped the Earth in darkness, unleashing his symbiote army on the greatest heroes and villains on the planet. Knull nearly beat the Avengers, killed Eddie Brock, and pushed the heroes to the brink of defeat. But, once Brock was brought back to life as the God of Light and bonded with the Enigma Force, he became the King in Black’s one true equal – leading him to kill Knull by vaporizing him into the sun.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

At this weekend’s Hasbro Pulse Con, Hasbro revealed several new Marvel Legends figures. Among the fantastic figures showcased include Jubilee and Wolverine from X-Men: The Animated Series, detailed retro figures for Iron Man and Captain America, as well as Scarlet Witch and White Vision. However, the most exciting announcement was when Venom writer Donny Cates appeared on the live stream and helped unveil the first ever Marvel Legends figure for the King in Black. Check out the sculpt for the God of Symbiotes below (which isn’t final but hints at what’s to come).

Besides the picture of what the figure could look like, little additional details dropped about the King in Black’s Marvel Legends figured. Right now, there’s no release date or no information about whether it will be a single figure or part of a build-a-figure wave. However, if it ends up being a BAF, there’s plenty of characters from Cates and Stegman’s run that would be perfect for the wave, such an Axe-wielding God of Light Venom, Silver Surfer Black, or the number of symbiote-possessed heroes and villains who showed up during the run.

No matter when the release date of the King in Black is, Marvel Legends finally revealing their take on the villain is incredibly exciting. We can’t wait to see what the figure looks like when it comes out. We will have more details on the King in Black Marvel Legends action figure when available.
