Dane participated in the siege on Avengers Mansion by the Masters of Evil (during which he was captured and beaten by Mister Hyde). He began his first extended membership with the team shortly after Vision stepped down as chairperson. While a member, his scientific knowledge came to be useful, especially when such minds as Iron Man and Hank Pym were not on the roster. Whitman's spirit returned to his original body, which became flesh and blood again.ĭane served several tours of duty with the Avengers. Back in the past, he protected the mystical island of Avalon from the demonic Fomor, until Garrington's body was eventually destroyed during a battle involving the time-traveling Avengers. After this mission was concluded, Whitman was returned to the 12th Century, though he did briefly travel forward again to attend Merlyn's funeral. Sent to find the amnesiac hero Captain Britain, Whitman then traveled with him to Otherworld to battle the evil Mordred and his master, the demonic Necromon, and save Camelot (at some point during the course of this quest, both heroes were briefly abducted by the Grandmaster to participate in his 'Contest of Champions'). Later, however, he was equipped with a new flying horse named Valinor and transported (still in Garrington's body) to the present day by the mage Merlyn, to carry out a special mission.
Whitman declined to return to the present day with the Defenders, and Valkyrie returned his sword to him Whitman allowed her to keep the horse. They discovered, however, that Whitman's spirit had been transported back in time to the 12th Century where it now inhabited the body of his own ancestor, Eobar Garrington. The Defenders later attempted to restore him using the Evil Eye of Avalon. Strange took custody of his petrified form. The Valkyrie took possession of the Knight's Ebony Blade and his winged horse, Aragorn, and Dr. ĭane later fought alongside the Defenders against the Enchantress, but was apparently turned to stone by her. This he did to aid the Avengers, but they did not trust him until he later assisted them against Kang the Conqueror. Taking the weapon Dane decided to be a hero, joining the Masters of Evil just as his uncle did, but with the intent of infiltrating them from within. Passing its test, Sir Percival explained the history of the blade and its curse.
He was unaware that his uncle had been the villainous Black Knight until finding notes and inventions.
Īs an adult, Dane inherited his uncle Nathan Garrett's castle. Refusing treatment, Ashima died within a year, after secretly giving birth to a baby girl, Jackie. Dane planned to visit her in the hospital and propose, but lost his nerve and fell out of touch.
