History[]
Kidnapped Black Order[]
The Black Order, consisting of Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, and Cull Obsidian, were intergalactic mercenaries who were loyal to whoever they served, becoming the most powerful people in their universe. This drew the attention Stephen Strange, who kidnapped the Black Order, hoping to feed them to the Forge and resurrect his destroyed universe. The Black Order was later freed along with the other prisoners by Captain Carter, leading to a riot which they participated in. Strange attempted to drop the team into the Forge, but Carter and Kahhori saved them and sent them back to the Hireling Black Order universe.[1]
