Fictional team biography
The Black Order is a group of ruthless aliens that work for Thanos. They help Thanos into razing worlds where they demand tribute. When Corvus Glaive sent one of their Outriders to find a new world to raze, the Outrider targeted Earth.[1]
The Black Order arrive on Earth in search of the Infinity Gems, which are under the control of the Illuminati.[2] Each member of the Order targets a member of the Illuminati with varying degrees of success. During their search for the gems, Ebony Maw finds Thanos' son, Thane, whom Thanos wishes to kill.[3]
During a battle with the Avengers, Black Dwarf, Supergiant, and Corvus Glaive are killed. Ebony Maw betrays Thanos, and frees Thane. Thane traps Thanos and Proxima Midnight in an amber construct which leaves them in a state of "living death."[4]
