Man In Black

Man In Black was the first colorman introduced.
The current Man in Black is William Blackson, and was the first colorman known to attack the Island of Sodor's railways directly. He is a direct descendant of Arthur Blackson, the original Man in Black, who was a rather respected blacksmith in the town he grew up in. Perhaps explaining his knack for magic involving metal manipulation, for reasons unknown he tried to trap and destroy all the red engines on Sodor. He was foiled by the current Man In Blue, who used his powers to, ironically, render Man in Black colorblind. Despite his vision issues, he is still quite powerful, and one of the most feared evil colormen. He also fought in the First Battle of Sodor, helped Man In Brick steal part of The Prism, Fought Woman In Gold and tried to kill Man In Jet.
After the Spirit of the Prism was returned to the prism, Man In Black became good again.
==Trivia==
* Not only is he colorblind, but due to a brawl with the Man In Salmon over mistaking him for a Man in Pink, he has a rather large scar on his left arm. Because of this, even in summer time he always wears long sleeves
* His lineage artifact is the Javelin of Blackson. While he was evil, and because of the fact that many of his ancestors dating back to the mid-1600s were also evil, the prism saw them as unworthy and stripped the lineage of it. The javelin was last seen in 1657 before being returned to him following Man In Black becoming good again.
* He is 5'11", 200 lbs, has black hair and eyes, and rather light skin tone. His favorite songs are, appropriately, "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones and "Back In Black" by AC/DC.
