Knull is a fictional supervillain‎ appearing in American comic books‎ ‎published by Marvel Comics‎, commonly in association with Venom and Carnage. The character is depicted as an evil deity, who created the alien races known as the Klyntar and the Exolons.

Publication history

The character was first introduced as an nameless being in Thor: God of Thunder #6, before making his full appearance in Venom #3. The character would go on and have more major role in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography

Knull was a primordial deity, who existed before the universe itself, enjoying drifting through the endless void of space, until the Celestials arrived to "evolve" the universe. Knull seeing that "his" space was being touched, he created All-Black the Necrosword and decapitated one of the Celestials. The other Celestials saw that and banished Knull along with the severed head into the Void. He then used the head to forge more the symbiote where he unintentionally gave the symbiote its weaknesses to sonic and fire — the severed Celestial head would eventually become Knowhere. He created an symbiote armor from the Celestial's  blood and with All-Black, he started killing the other deities, until he crash landed on an unnamed planet where Gorr took All-Black and incapacitated Knull.[1] Knull eventually reawakens and then finds out that he could bond his living abyss to "lesser" creatures and creates an army of symbiotes to conquer the universe and killing the light and creation. However, when one of symbiote dragon-like composite arrived on medieval Earth, Thor Odinson arrived and defeated Grendel causing the connection of Knull to the symbiotes to break. The symbiotes over the universe started bonding to benevolent hosts learning about the Light and Altruism. The Symbiotes rebelled against their evil god and trapped him inside an artificial planet formed of thousands of symbiotes called Klyntar — which in symbiote language means cage.[2]

After thousands of years, when body of Grendel is discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D., who bonded pieces of the dragon to soldiers, this reawakens Knull, allowing to take control of Grendel before being captured by Nick Fury‎ and Logan, expect one piece named Tyrannosaurus which escaped Knull's control.[3] Then, Eddie Brock with Venom unknowingly freed the dragon and after a battle against Eddie and Spider-Man, the dragon started searching for Tyrannosaurus in order to free Knull.[4] However, Venom merges with Tyrannosaurus and tricked the dragon into a trap and then Eddie puts the dragon inside a furnace, incinerating the dragon to death.[5] The codexes of Grendel are then retrieved by Maker and Project Oversight.[6]

In Carnage Born, it's revealed that when Cletus Kasady died at birth, he came in contact with Knull who the latter revived Cletus to be the one to free him from Klyntar. After Scorn formed a cult worshiping Knull they stole‎ the codexes of Grendel along with Cletus's damaged body and after implanting the codexes inside Cletus, the Carnage symbiote absorbed Grendel, becoming god-like. After the contact with Knull, Cletus decided to free Knull by collecting every codex of every host who had at some point bonded to symbiotes.[7]

It's revealed that Knull had also created the Exolons — parasites that attach to a host, while feeding on their soul. Zak-Del, who is infected with an Exolon, plans to find Knull in order for the latter to remove the parasite of him. That is Zak-Del's reason for joining up with Starfox's Dark Guardians.[8]

Powers and abilities

Knull is a primordial deity, having super strength, agility, immortality and healing factor. He can manifest the Void to create weapons and creatures which he calls the "Living Abyss", which he can control. He also possesses limited shapeshifting ability, including the ability to turn his human-like mouth into fanged jaws with an elongated tongue — this feature was passed on to the symbiotes. He's also an expert combatant, utilizing All-Black to kill Celestials and gods, while wearing an armor made from symbiote with a red Dragon emblem (Venom would form a similar emblem with mixed design of Knull's emblem and Spider-Woman's emblem).[9]

Other versions

In Ultimate Marvel, Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr., were the ones who created the Venom suit with Richard's DNA as a cure for cancer.[10]
