British Knight

The British Knight encases himself in grey plated armor. Curved horns rise from his helmet and spikes jut from his shoulders, while a pale red gem sits at the center of his chest and a length of dark green cloth drapes his waist.

Nothing is recorded of the man behind the armor before his hero days. At some point he took up the role and partnered with the Global Defense Agency, guarding his native United Kingdom. He appears among the mourners at the Guardians of the Globe funeral, still unaware of the truth about Omni-Man, and he later tries out for the rebuilt Guardians without earning a place. When Doc Seismic seizes a group of captured heroes, the Knight is among them, freed by the ReAnimen and thrown into the fight against Seismic's subterranean creatures.

His end comes in the Invincible War. Squaring off against Stripevincible near Buckingham Palace, he is hurled into the air and dropped hard. The variant sneers that he would not even bother keeping him as a slave, then finishes him, leaving the Knight's body slumped across a wrecked statue before continuing his rampage across Britain. He is remembered as one of the heroes who died shielding Earth from the alternate Invincibles.

The Knight's protection comes from his heavily reinforced armor, sturdy enough to absorb a blow from an alternate Invincible before he was finally overwhelmed.
