When a criminal named Karnage broke into the office looking for his boss Arthur Cranston, this, and another event, led him to become the costumed hero Blackwing. Although his first outing as a crime fighter proved unsuccessful when he was captured by the costumed villain Boa's gang, Blackwing managed to contribute in freeing the Huntress from Boa's giant snake and recorded some evidence that was used to put the mastermind and his men away. Since then, Blackwing has never appeared again in any other published story.
