Fictional character biography

Black Dwarf is a member of Thanos' Black Order where he is the powerhouse of the Mad Titan's army.[1]

When Thanos targeted Earth as the next planet he would raze during the Infinity, Black Dwarf arrived in Wakanda.[2] To his surprise, Black Dwarf found great resistance in that country and was forced to retreat. For his failure, Thanos expelled Black Dwarf from the Black Order.[3]

Thanos gave Black Dwarf one more chance to prove himself by sending him to protect The Peak and keep it from being reclaimed by the Avengers following their fight against the Builders.[4] During the fight against the Avengers, Black Dwarf was killed by Ronan the Accuser.[5]

During the "No Surrender" arc, Black Dwarf was resurrected by Challenger who reassembles the Black Order in order to go into a contest against Grandmaster's Lethal Legion.[6]

Powers and abilities

Black Dwarf has super-strength, enhanced density, and his skin is impenetrable.

Film

Black Dwarf, renamed Cull Obsidian, appears in Avengers: Infinity War,[8] voiced and motion-captured by Terry Notary.[9][10] As in the comics, he is a member of the Children of Thanos and the Black Order. Obsidian assists Ebony Maw in an attempt to take the Time Stone from Doctor Strange. After being teleported to Antarctica by Wong, Obsidian jumped for the portal but Wong closed it, severing Obsidian's arm in the process. After getting a robotic arm, Obsidian appears in the Battle of Wakanda. Obsidian fights Bruce Banner wearing the Hulkbuster armor. He manages to break off the arm of the Hulkbuster armor, but Banner attaches the arm repulsor to Obsidian's body, sending him flying toward the Wakandan shield, which leads to his death.
