Nightshade (Earth-9147)

== History ==
=== Early Life&Becoming a Supervillain (1985-2003) ===
Born Onyx McGregor to Aliison and AJ, he was born on March 15, 1985 in the city of Midnight City, New Jersey. Growing up in the slums of his city, he was raised around violence and negativity, and had to learn to be tough-skinned. When he was only eight years old he discovered he was born with the power to access what he would go on to call “The Shadowverse”, which is a pocket-dimension that only he has access to. Inside it are invisible beings that hide in the shadows and devour anything they find from other dimensions. Onyx can enter this universe via the use of portals, and he can use this ability to almost travel via portals, having the ability to open a portal anywhere in his dimension to anywhere in the shadowverse, and back out anywhere in his dimension.
He showed his powers to his friends at school, who ended up rejecting him. He became the subject to humiliation and bullying because of his powers, even being disowned by his family and friends. During the process of being shunned by everyone he knew, he developed a very strong hatred for humans, feeling as though they are monsters hiding in facades of teddy bears, and that they are treating him like this because he is better than them. He only doubled-down on these feelings when the school Nuns tried to teach him about Catholicism, with the hopes that he would “see the light of God”, however when he learned about Jesus being shunned and disowned by his peers, Onyx’s first and only thoughts were that he is a god being shunned by the puny humans.
=== An Arch-Enemy (2002) ===
His first major conflict was in eleventh grade. He was sitting at the lunch table all alone listening to Mozart, when the school superhero known as “Boy Immortal” approached Onyx. It was early May, and the movie about the fictional superhero “Spider-Man” had just been released. Boy Immortal told Onyx that,
Everyone in the cafeteria started laughing at Onyx, and Boy Immortal even grabbed him by the leg and lifted him up with one hand, flying up above the cafeteria… Onyx was yet again made to be nothing but a clown. This infuriated him, and he started swinging at Boy Immortal, despite none of his punches landing. Everyone started laughing even harder, which caused Onyx to open a portal to the Shadowverse, which he entered by bending down to punch Boy Immortal’s wrist, opening his hand and releasing Onyx, who fell into the portal. Upon entering the Shadowverse, a place he was very familiar with, being a loner, he opened another portal right behind Boy Immortal and punched him in the back of the head. He kept doing this, opening various portals around Boy Immortal’s body and punching him, before he was able to wear down the hero and drag him into the Shadowverse. Boy Immortal questioned where they are, and Onyx struck fear into his peer when he said,
Boy Immortal started cowering, and Onyx used this opportunity to let out all of his pent-up anger from the years of humiliation, bullying and even racism. He started wailing on Boy Immortal and laughing at him, calling him degrading names, and eventually driving his finger-tips into Boy Immortal’s neck, squishing it and popping his head off. Covered in blood and unsure how to feel, Onyx just started laughing. He opened a portal to his universe and exited it, holding Boy Immortal’s head. He showed it off and yelled at the now pitch-silent cafeteria, inciting anyone to test him now. After he finished raging, everyone started screaming and crying. Onyx rolled his eyes and re-entered the Shadowverse, tossing Boy Immortal’s head on the cafeteria floor before leaving.
After this, Onyx would spend the next year developing an alter ego, and harbouring hate for any and all humans and superheroes alike, believing humans to be undeserving of life, and superheroes (whom he calls supervillains) to be fools for believing humanity can be good. The persona he would craft would be “Nightshade” and upon the interrogation (and then murder) of several heroes, he found out that the man who makes their suits goes by the name “Art”, even having a tailor-shop in Chicago. Onyx would pay him a visit and claim to be an aspiring superhero. He used money he had stolen from the heroes he killed to pay for the suit, and soon enough, it was complete. It was very dark grey and black, to reflect his soul. He would devote his life to the murder of every human being and superhero who would not bend their knee to him, their “rightful God”.
=== Meeting His Match (2004) ===
Onyx decided it was time to officially start taking over Midnight City, so he took the action to raid a police station with the hopes that he could take their weapons from them and murder each and every single officer in there. He arrived at the police station to begin, and started off by cutting the Desk Sergeant's head off with a portal. He then started massacring the other officers, but it was quickly cut short when The Immortal and the Japanese hero, All-Might showed up to stop him.
As usual, The Immortal was rather easy to dispatch, but the moment he tried to take on All-Might, he nearly got his head punched off. No American superhero has ever had this kind of strength, and this took Onyx aback. He continued to try and fight All-Might, but when All-Might stopped pulling his punches, Onyx's jaw nearly got unhinged. Shocked by this feeling, All-Might hit him with a lighter punch to the stomach, completely knocking the wind out of Onyx, leaving time for the police to arrive and put him in power-draining handcuffs, so that they could take him away and send him to the Midnight City Supervillain Correctional Facility. He would not be let out of this facility until the following year, when his psychiatrist fell for him, giving him the opportunity to steal his costume and escape back into the world, where he would continue to battle his arch enemy and build up a vendetta for All-Might.
=== Nightshade's "Golden Years" (2005-2015) ===
==== Life in Prison (2004-2005) ====
 The golden years of Nightshade's supervillain career were a period of ten consecutive years from 2005 to 2015, where in that timespan, he would go on to kill 55 heroes (with ten of them being Pro Heroes). As well during this time, Nightshade developed a name for himself as the single most notorious supervillain on the planet, being well-known across the world and feared by citizens and heroes alike, with heroes terrified of being the next ones to be killed by him.
When Onyx had been arrested by the Midnight City police, he was immediately arrested and sent to the Midnight City branch of the Supervillain Correctional Facilities. His costume was confiscated from him and locked up in the facility's evidence lock-up. Part of the SCF's way of doing things is to provide the arrested villains with psychiatric help to better them and prepare them for life as a free person once they finish their sentence. Onyx's psychiatrist was a doctor by the name Dr. Arielle Quillan, who was once a supervillain known as "Zane" that got rehabilitated by the SCF and earned her degree in psychiatry and therapy.
Within his time in jail, he would develop the utmost disdain for All-Might, seeing as how everyone knew him as "the guy who got embarrassed by All-Might". He decided he would make it his mission to become stronger and faster, and eliminate every superhero on the planet lest they bend a knee to him. When he's ready and strong enough, he would travel to Japan and track down All-Might, making him bow down to Onyx once and for all. That is... if Onyx ever gets out of the SCF.
Nothing seemed to be changing in Onyx for a good long while, until almost a year into his twenty year long sentence. One day, during a counselling session with Dr. Quillan, she started to develop an attraction to his unempathetic front, and by now, she had written a full psychological report on the observations she had made on Onyx up until this point, figuring out that he has a soft spot inside him, and truly just wanted to be loved... she took this and decided she would try and get him to show that side of himself.
This all culminated in a session that involved the two of them engaging with each other intimately. After this, Onyx saw the opportunity to manipulate her into helping him escape from custody. She dropped his suit off in his cell the following day, and had her deactivate the quirk dampening technology within his cell, he put his suit on and opened a portal out of the facility, promising himself he would never return and never do anything to let himself get caught again.
==== Aptify, A- (2005-2006) ====
As a free man, he would go on to kill over a dozen low-tier heroes in the span of a year.
His first kill was of a hero named Aptify. Aptify sported a blew and white suit with a set of goggles and an enormous "A" on his chest. His quirk is that he is highly intelligent (or to be more on the nose, of high aptitude) and acrobatic. He operated in the state of Florida and was the same age as All-Might.
Onyx was able to track him down based on his pattern of travel when it came to stopping crime in the state of Florida, noticing that Aptify tended to travel in the shape of an "A" around the state, stopping in major urban areas for up to three days at a time, fighting crime there before moving on.
Onyx crossed paths with him at the point of his "A", which happened to be in the city of St. Augustine. Aptify was currently doing a press-conference to celebrate his defeat of notorious Floridian supervillain, "G-Torr". Onyx watched from a rooftop across the street, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. That moment came when Aptify was just about to leave the stage after his speech. Onyx opened a portal below him and dropped him into the Shadowverse. Onyx joined him in the Shadowverse and laughed as Aptify struggled to figure out what was going on. However, it didn't take him very long to determine that the man attacking him is the villain Nightshade. Thankfully for Onyx, Aptify assumed Onyx was an easy victory, seeing as he lost to All-Might just over a year prior.
Onyx would go on to fight him using a new tactic he had developed, which is to fight his opponent in and out of the Shadowverse, disorienting them. He would let Aptify attempt to get a hit off on him outside of the Shadowverse, before dragging him into the Shadowverse, getting some hits off of him and then releasing him from the 'Verse. After this went on for a few minutes, he was finally able to break the bones in Aptify's right wrist, further disorienting him, giving Onyx an opening to absolutely go ham on him, ending with him punching a whole through Aptify's stomach. He tossed the lifeless body of Aptify back out onto the stage and went into hiding for a few weeks to avoid suspicion. From there he developed the perfect plan: kill one Pro Hero per year, and then change to the lower-tier heroes for easier and less public targets.
After Aptify, he would go on to kill heroes ranging from older heroes passed their prime, with his victims being:

K-Bomb 	40 	Can smash the ground hard, creating a targeted, mini-earthquake 	Compton, Los Angeles

==== Red is the New Pink (2006-2007) ====
The next pro hero Onyx went after was a superheroine in talks to join the country's premiere superhero team lead by The Immortal, the Flagbearers. The name of this hero was Pink Matter, and she had the ability to create matter out of thin air and could construct whatever she imagined. She was only 23, and operated in the city of Chicago.
Onyx determined from studying her that the only way to draw her out would be to create a scene, so he did the only thing he could think of: destroy a bridge. He went to one of the movable bridges downtown, and sucked one half of it into a portal into the Shadowverse, re-opening that portal over the cityscape. This caused mass-hysteria across the city and a prompt visit from Pink Matter, as well as two other heroes of the rescue quirk to work on damage control. Onyx watches all of this from a rooftop, waiting for the perfect time to strike, but Pink Matter notices him and flies up to him. A fight ensues between the two of them, as they battle across rooftops, with Pink Matter flying him up into the sky, only for him to drop the two of them into the Shadowverse, trade a few blows and pop back out in the skies above Chicago. The battle was intense, with neither of them willing to lose. Eventually, Onyx dropped a portal underneath her and then above him, but she recovered quickly, using her legs to put him in a chokehold, attempting to pacify him in a quick-thinking move. This is when Onyx took a big risk, and bit her thigh, causing her to scream in agony. Taking advantage of the now injured hero, he pushed off of her and performed a spin-kick to her face, before knocking her into the Shadowverse and finishing her off the same way he finished off Aptify: punching a hole through her stomach. He dropped her body back out into the world on the street so the world could see what happened to its hero, before promptly going into hiding for a few days.
After he came out of hiding, he would go on to take down five low-tier heroes over the course of the rest of the year. Those heroes were,
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Thunderclap	32 	Has the ability to generate and control electricity, using it for offense, defense, and even flight 	Tulsa, Oklahoma
Cascade 	26 	Controls the forces of nature, specifically water-related abilities like summoning tsunamis, manipulating water currents, and creating protective barriers	Bend, Oregon
Aerobourne 	29 	Possesses aerokinetic abilities, allowing them to control and manipulate air currents, create powerful gusts of wind, and even fly at high speeds 	Fargo, North Dakota

Delta Blitz	27 	Has super speed and agility, allowing him to move at incredible velocities and perform lightning-fast maneuvers 	Mobile, Alabama
==== Absorban Absorbed (2007-2008) ====
The next Pro Hero Onyx decided to go after was one named Absorban, who operated in Washington, D.C.
While studying Absorban, Onyx noticed that of all the quirks he has somehow absorbed, his main one is his electric quirk.He noticed that the biggest advantage Absorban would have over him, is his ability to hide in electrical currents, such as lightbulbs, making him quite a formidable foe. Unlike with the other heroes he's killed (19 until this point), he would have to act fast when he's in the Shadowverse. He couldn't risk Absorban getting the chance to escape and fight him where there is light.
Eventually, the day came: the President was holding a ceremony for heroes at the White House, and Absorban was one of the heroes guarding the House's exterior. Trapping him in the Shadowverse was going to be tricky, because he chose to do his patrols by traversing through different light fixtures around the place.
Onyx watched for hours, trying to find a good time to strike... then it offered itself to him on a silver platter: the President called upon Absorban to meet with some Quirk scientists inside so they could take a closer look at his genetic make up and determine why he has the ability to absorb quirks from other people. Meanwhile, Onyx was more focused on why someone with such a wonderfully evil power would choose to use it for good. This is why Onyx never understood heroes... why choose to help out humanity with your powers, when you are above them? Regardless, Absorban let his guard down to head inside, and Onyx struck. He opened a portal underneath Absorban right in front of the President, and Absorban joined him in the Shadowverse. At this point, Onyx was known as the Hero Killer, and was the single most feared supervillain throughout all of America--perhaps even the world. The blotch on his record that was being bested by All-Might, seemed to have gotten buried by the countless heroes he was recorded to have killed. Absorban immediately got on the offensive, and used a stretchy power he has to grab Onyx by the neck and pull him in, only for Absorban to shift his arm into stone and uppercut Onyx. Onyx immediately realized why Absorban was hired to guard the White House that night... he was being defeated in his OWN domain. Onyx knew everything about the Shadowverse and had always used it as a safe place to kill people, but now, he feared he might be killed in it! Absorban was hitting him with combo after combo, switching up his powerset each time.
Finally, Onyx found an opening when he noticed that Absorban had to take a second to pause and almost manually change his power in his head like a selection wheel. With this new information, Onyx let Absorban combo him a few more times so that he could get the timing down perfectly, and when he had it, he saw Absorban switch from a fire ability to a lightning ability. Right as Onyx was about to go open a portal level with Absorban's neck, one of the beasts lurking in Shadowverse, which Onyx had figured out are sensitive to loud sounds and bright lights, came out of hiding and shoved a long hand through the stomach of Absorban, almost imitating the way Onyx had killed all the other heroes. With that done, Onyx had tossed the body back out into the world, and just like with all the other heroes, he briefly went into hiding and the only thing he did was steal the suit of the deceased hero during the funeral.
After he came out of hiding, he proceeded to kill three low-tier heroes that year:
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Hourglass 	55 	Time manipulation, allowing her to freeze, speed up and slow down time 	Eureka, California
Cricket 	19 	Camouflage, allowing him to instantly adapt his biological characteristics to any environment or situation	Helena, Montana
Crimson Queen	42 	The ability to completely bend reality to her will 	Pawhuska, Oklahoma
==== All American Hero (2008-2009) ====
The pro hero Onyx killed in the Spring of 2008 was his most infamous kill of all, and yet it wasn't his last infamous one. This year, his target was the Pro Hero and Flagbearer member: Stars and Stripes. He was also the predecessor and inspiration for the next hero to take on that moniker many years later. S&S was the co-founder of the Flagbearers, and The Immortal's best friend. Many saw him as a man with the potential to take over The Immortal's spot as America's Top Pro Hero, and he was given the nickname "America's All-Might".
Onyx hated him nearly as much as he hated All-Might, simply for the fact that he took the spotlight away from Onyx's arch enemy and rival, The Immortal. S&S had a very unique quirk as well, as he was one of the few heroes with the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes. That, combined with his flight and super strength/speed, made him a very formidable foe, and made him worthy of the title the public had given him.
Knowing everything about S&S, Onyx knew that S&S spends most of his time back home in Kansas on his parents farm, so he decided to pull the most villainous, heinous act he had ever done in his life time: he got a villain "acquaintance" of his by the name of "Drought Trotter" to cause a scene in Kansas, forcing S&S to go and investigate. While S&S is fighting Drought Trotter, Onyx would sneak into his parent's house and kill them, forcing whatever demon is hiding inside of him to come out full-force on Onyx. Using this, Onyx would lure him to Kansas, where the world would see just how unhinged he truly is, before Onyx promptly kills him too; that way, S&S is remembered for the time he went ballistic on a supervillain and then got killed by said villain. 
The plan actually went off without a hitch. When Onyx had slaughtered Stripe's parents, he looked through their phone book for his phone number, using the landline to call S&S and tell him what he did to his parents. Within seconds of hanging up, S&S burst through the wall of his parent's abode and saw Onyx with blood all over his hands and a demented smile on his face as he stands between the two dead bodies of Stripe's parents. 
S&S flies at Onyx, but Onyx escapes narrowly through a portal into the Shadowverse, reappearing in Kansas. He looks up into the sky and sees S&S up there, scanning the area for Onyx. He and S&S lock eyes, causing S&S to fly full force at him in the dead center of the downtown area. Onyx opens a portal, making S&S fly through it, before immediately opening another portal, causing S&S to nosedive directly into the street, causing a mini earthquake and a shockwave. With some more egging on from Onyx, S&S is completely bloodlusted, and grabs Onyx by the throat, flying him up and choke slamming him into a parked car. Onyx lays there for a few seconds, allowing S&S to wail on him repeatedly, as everyone watches, waiting for the right moment before opening a portal underneath S&S and closing it just in time to slice his head off. Onyx spits on it before exiting the scene via the Shadowverse. 
After going into hiding for a few days, Onyx returns to take the lives of ten more low-tier heroes, 
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Sentidult 	20 	Can climb on walls and swing from webs shot out by his finger tips 	Toronto, Canada
Tekki 	38 	Can morph into a cybernetic being 	Roswell, New Mexico
Osteomorph 	21 	The ability to control her bone structure, using her bones as weapons or armor 	Marfa, Texas
Mental Might	30 	Super strength and telepathy 	Hood River, Oregon
Microblaze 	42 	The ability to generate and manipulate microwave radiation, creating intense heat and flames	Wallace, Idaho
Sonic 	59 	The ability to create a screech that reaches supersonic volumes 	Bisbee, Arizona
Air One 	44 	The ability of flight and super strength 	Natchez, Mississippi
Inferness 	27 	The ability to generate and control intense flames 	Haines, Alaska
Subterran 	36 	The ability to burrow and dig underground, traversing via tunnel systems 	Jamestown, Rhode Island
Storm Sewer 	48 	The ability to control and manipulate weather, creating storms 	Kodiak, Alaska
==== A Noble Ending (2009-2010) ====
The next pro hero Onyx chose to take on, was the hero with the ability to control the wind: Zephyr Noble. He didn't know much about her, other than she originated in the small town of Amsterdam, New York, and that her Quirk gives her the power to manipulate the wind. Upon reading up on her and checking her recently created MySpace page, he found out that she was doing a Meet'n'Greet at the San Diego Comic Con of that year.
His plan going in was a very straight forward one: there is no wind whatsoever in the Shadowverse, so the sooner he can get her in there, the quicker he can kill her. He arrives at Comic Con in his villain costume, and waits in the line to her booth until it finally gets to him. She seems confused as to why he is "cosplaying" Nightshade, and lectures him on the ethics of cosplaying a serial Hero Killer. Before she can finish her lecture, he drops her into the Shadowverse and jumps down with her, creating quite the stir back on Earth.
In the Shadowverse, he starts wailing on her, giving her a black eye. When he goes for his finishing gut punch, he feels a massive gust of wind push him aback. He realizes that Zephyr must have brought some wind down with her when she fell, and now the fight is fair. She starts attacking him, using the wind to aid her in her attacks, and is able to get some shots off on him, before he attempts to get the wind out of the Shadowverse by opening a portal to suck it out. However, this betrays him as she falls back onto Earth, she uses the wind to pull him back with her. He gets on top of her on the ground and starts wailing on her again, and before he knows it, the Flagbearers have arrived, lead by The Immortal. While Zephyr is distracted greeting them, Onyx drops her into the Shadowverse again, before she can get the chance to bring wind down with them again, and he finishes her off, punching her neck a few times, before using his finishing move and punching a hole through her stomach. He sends the body back out to Earth and goes into hiding, as per usual.
After he comes out of hiding, he murders four low-tier heroes. Those heroes being,
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Captain Sergeant	32 	Super strength, endurance, super durability 	Denver, Colorado
Slugger 	21 	Has super strength that he can temporarily transfer into a weapon of his choice for advanced melee combat	Cooperstown, New York
Portalarrow 	44 	He can shoot arrows that open portals to any location he is thinking of 	New York City, New York
Martian Man 	56 	Shape-shifting, regeneration 	Fakahatchee, Florida
==== Red Rush Runs No More (2010-2011) ====
The next Pro Hero on his hitlist was the scarlet speedster from Russia, Red Rush. Red Rush had moved to New Hampshire a few years prior and joined up with the Flagbearers as an honourary member being friends with The Immortal. Onyx knew the only way to catch Red Rush would be to make him unknowingly run into something that could kill him upon impact, so he develops a plan: recently, Drought Trotter had been released from the SCF for what he did in Kansas a few years ago, and Onyx calls on him again to help him with this mission. The plan is as follows:
# Drought Trotter causes a disturbance in a highway tunnel
# As Red Rush shows up to save the day
# Onyx opens a portal that sends him into the Shadowverse;
# Immediately after, he opens a portal sending a subway train into the Shadowverse
# If all goes well, the subway train rams into Red Rush before he knows it's coming, and he gets blown up by the impact
Shockingly, this plan works out perfectly. After Onyx had sent the train into the Shadowverse, he checks back in to see what happened to Red Rush, and all that remains of the hero is a lens of his goggles.
Rather than going into hiding, Onyx immediately goes into killing ten more low-tier heroes:
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Energine 	34 	Control over various forms of energy, such as creating energy blasts or absorbing energy from the environment 	Saugatuck, Michigan
Rocky 	52 	Mastery over elements like fire, water, earth, and air 	Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
Deep Stitch 	27 	Rapid regeneration of wounds and injuries thanks to a healing factor 	Woodstock, Vermont
Warpstride 	41 	Teleportation 	Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
Mechani-Man 	19 	A lesser version of Red Rush's super speed, that is more akin to car speeds 	Staunton, Virginia

==== Passing of The Torch (2011-2012) ====
The next Pro Hero Onyx decided to take down was the hero from New Orleans, Louisiana: The Torch. After studying him briefly, Onyx came to the conclusion that he draws his power to control flames from the torch he always carries. Onyx showed up to his city that year during the Mardi Gras celebrations, where Torch has been seen to join in the local festivities, using his torch to light an enormous straw statue ablaze.
During the night of Mardi Gras, Onyx remained on the rooftops of the city, watching everything happen and even partaking in some "fun" of his own, sending random pedestrians to the Shadowverse. Finally, the time to light the statue ablaze had come and everyone gathered around in the center of the city, with the straw statue standing proud and tall in front of the citizens.
The Torch made his long awaited appearance, and put his torch to the straw. Right as he went to light it, Onyx opened a portal on his hand, chopping it off and sending the torch to the Shadowverse. Everyone, including The Torch, screamed in fear and shock, unsure of what could have possibly happened.
Taking advantage of the fear and uncertainty in the air, Onyx drops down and starts beating on The Torch. He hits him with punch after punch, knocking out his teeth, cracking his domino mask. All of the citizens nearby run away with screams of terror filling the once celebratory streets. Onyx finishes him off with the same gut punch he gives to all of the heroes he's killed, however unlike the previous years, he opts not to go into hiding anymore, feeling powerful and strong enough to take on anyone who dares challenge him.
That year, he killed only two low-tier heroes and they were:
Hero 	Age	Quirk 	Located
Real Steal 	25 	Invulnerability 	Sedona, Arizona
King Arthur	41 	Super strength, speed, immortality	Mackinac Island, Michigan
==== Two-for-One (2012-2014) ====
Onyx's next target came in a pair: the famous Winslow Twins. They are originally from Winslow, Arizona, however they now reside in Los Angeles as stars. While studying them, he learned that from a young age the two of them quickly learned that the quirks they had developed were reliant on the other Twin being present to create a combo with the other one. He also learned that they were filming a movie about themselves that year. This time, now being nearly a decade into his crusade against superheroes, Onyx decided it was time to step up his game: his first course of action was to learn who the director of the movie was, as well as where he lived. The second step in his plan was to establish a fake identity as an up-and-coming director, and then for the third step: kill the current director and take over the film project to create an opportunity to kill the two of them.
He did some research on the director, whose name turned out to be John Slavinger, and found that he has an address in the Hollywood Hills. Onyx paid him a visit one night and watched through the back windows as he went through some nightly routine, saying goodnight to his wife and kids, before taking some time to go outside into the pool located in his backyard. While he was floating in his pool, Onyx showed up and joined him in the pool, cupping his hands around Slavinger's nose and mouth, knocking him out peacefully. Once he was knocked out, Onyx gently pushed Slavinger's body to the bottom of the pool so that he could die in a faux-drowning.
A few days later, the news had spread that renowned director John Slavinger had drowned in his pool. Just when it looked like the film would be cancelled, Slavinger's wife had found a note that Onyx sent to their bedroom dresser that read,
With that, Onyx had a cover letter and a reason for his new character "Alex Luxcian" to take over the project for Slavinger. Not to mention, he also anonymously bribed internet browser hackers to make a fake IMDB profile for him and a page for him in an L.A. high school. Onyx showed up on set a few days later and made his presence very well known by everyone. He put on a fake charm and got the Winslow Twins to trust him, so much so that they invited him to a coffee brunch to learn about him and reflect on all of their relationships with John Slavinger. Onyx accepted, and the date was scheduled for a few days later.
On the day of the date, only the male twin: Michael was able to show up, as Mikayla was feeling too distraught over the thought of Slavinger, that she had to stay home. During the coffee brunch, Onyx and Michael chatted for a little bit, before Onyx got up to use the washroom. While walking passed Michael, he grabbed Michael's head and slammed it hard into the table. With Mikayla not there, Michael could not activate his quirk, and is therefore an easy kill for Onyx. Onyx simply slammed Michael's head into the table countless times, before dragging him into the Shadowverse, beating him to a pulp, and hitting him with the finishing gut-punch he kills all heroes with.
Things became harder however, as Mikayla would end up going into hiding. Onyx spent a year and a half looking for her, asking around on supervillain internet forums, and interrogating superheroes known to be connected to the Winslow Twins. After the aforementioned year and a half, Onyx finally got a hit: someone on one of the forums replied to his post telling him that Mikayla was spotted in northern Alaska, living in a cabin by herself. He used the Shadowverse to traverse to the location of this alleged cabin, so as to avoid the freezing cold, and emerged exactly in the cabin that the person told him about. Coming in from the cold was the person he was looking for: Mikayla. She dropped the firewood she was carrying and screamed, crying and pleading for him to leave. His final words to her were: "I will", right before using the fire poker to pierce her forehead, making her drop dead on the floor. 
==== The Immortal (2014-2015) ====
The next hero on Onyx's list was his arch-enemy: The Immortal. Since their run-in a decage ago, the two of them have clashed many times, but neither one willing to finalize their rivalry (in Immortal's case, arrest Onyx, and in Onyx's case, kill the Immortal). However, Onyx thought it might be time to kill The Immortal once and for all.
He confronted his foe in the city they grew up in: Midnight City. In fact, not only did he confront him in their hometown, but in front of their old high school, on the twelve year anniversary of the time Onyx had killed him. He drew Immortal there by causing mass hysteria, killing a security guard out front, and then proceeding inside, where he was blindly opening and closing portals to the Shadowverse, sending students and faculty into it.
Shortly thereafter, Immortal showed up and scolded Onyx for his childish actions. The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat, entering and exiting the Shadowverse, and eventually, The Immortal punched him so hard that it sent Onyx barreling down the street like a meteor. This is strength Onyx had never seen from Immortal beforehand, figuring his arch enemy must have gotten stronger over the years... just a shame that he would have to die. Onyx dragged him into the Shadowverse and started wailing on him like usual, however when he had The Immortal in a submissive position and ready to accept his fate, Onyx simply could not bring himself to kill Immortal. He couldn't explain it either, he wanted to very badly, but he couldn't. These two had known each other their whole lives, fought on numerous occasions, were given the title of arch enemies by the entire nation, and were the most notorious hero-villain rivalry in the whole world. Ultimately, Onyx tossed Immortal back out into the real world and stayed in the Shadowverse, where he went into hiding.
After coming out of hiding this time, he did not kill any other heroes. In fact, he felt just as humiliated for not killing Immortal, as he had felt when All-Might defeated him. This sparked an old rage and hatred for All-Might within Onyx that had been simmered down by all of the other hero kills he had. However, he knew that after all of the kills he had, he figured he was strong enough to take on All-Might... after he'd got some kills and built up just as notorious a reputation as he had in America, in Japan. With that, he made a plan to find a cave to live inside of in Japan, and found some low-tier heroes to go after.
=== Moving to Japan (2016) ===
 Nightshade had high hopes moving to Japan, but little did he know that this would be the decision that caused the downfall of his notoriety and his skill as a villain. Upon moving to Japan he soon learned that the heroes there are much more powerful than the heroes in America, which lead to him making much less risky moves and getting rusty.
Fed up with seeing how much All-Might had been gaining popularity and love in Japan, along with the fact that he had embarrassed Onyx ten years prior, Onyx moved to Japan with the plans to slowly weed him out by eliminating the hero population. He would kill lower-grade heroes and steal their costumes as trophies of his victory, with one spot being reserved for All-Might's. Onyx ended up deciding to live in a cave on Okinawa Island because it provided lots of space for his belongings and he could just scare off any tourists that stumble upon his hideout.
After months of diligently learning and practicing Japanese, as well as immersing himself in the culture of the country, Onyx was finally able to fluently speak the language, and with that... it was time for phase one of his plan to take down All-Might to commence.
==== Villainous Culture ====
While he was studying Japanese and engaging in the culture of the country, he came to learn that the villains within the nation are a lot more easy to contact and get in-touch with as opposed to America, and are overall much better connected. Much of this was thanks to underground and illegal bars, fight clubs and more. The one Onyx discovered that made an impact on him was referred to as the "UQFC" (pronounced by its regulars as, uke-eff-cee). He would go on to also become a regular here, however he always kept to himself and simply just watched as quirk users fought each other day-in, day-out. 
=== First of (Not So Many) (2017) ===
When Onyx was finally ready to take on the heroes in Japan, he found what seemed like an easy low-tier hero to take on: a hero called 
=== Darkwing (2029) ===
One day, Onyx is hunting down Rock Lock (the predecessor to the one seen in MHA) in the streets of Tokyo, when Rock Lock is able to suddenly get the drop on him. The two engage in hand-to-hand combat, with Onyx ducking and dodging all of Rock Lock's punches and kicks, knowing if he gets hit he can be immobilized. As they are fighting, Onyx can sense other heroes lurking around corners and on rooftops waiting to strike and help Rock Lock if needed, so he opens a portal and ducks into the Shadowverse. While he is in there, he sees a strange creature tied up and terrified. The creature looks alien-like, with green skin and antennas on its head. Onyx looks around, curious as to how this creature could have gotten into the Shadowverse, before grabbing it and pulling it into his cave-home.
He starts interrogating the creature, but to no avail, because it speaks in a language he does not understand. His last words to the creature before killing it are, "You should not have stepped into my territory, alien" followed by him punching through its now old and wrinkly head. He returns to the Shadowverse seeking solitude, when he can hear someone else in there. He hides in the shadows as he walks around the pocket-dimension, before seeing another stranger. This one looks like a spinning image of himself, but with the colours inverted on his costume, and a cape. Using the shadows, he throws punches on this clone like he did to The Immortal all those years ago.
Suddenly, the clone is able to grab one of his punches and force him to remain within the Shadowverse. Onyx demands to know who the clone is, and the clone simultaneously asks Onyx for the same information. Onyx says his name is Nightshade, and the clone introduces himself as Darkwing. By now, Onyx is assuming this clone to be a variant of himself from across the multiverse, and Darkwing verbalizes the same thought process. They both share the same sentiment that they presumed the other version to be evil, and Darkwing assures Onyx that they are on the same side. Onyx invites Darkwing into his universe, and brings Darkwing out into his Okinawa cave.
Onyx tells him that this is his home and that he does not really have any connections with people, claiming that it helps him concentrate on his work. A few minutes later, Darkwing asks him why he is operating in Japan, to which Onyx explains that a villain he is hunting a villain who is based here (the "villain" in-question is All-Might). Darkwing offers to help him track down the "villains" he is hunting, and Onyx accepts his help, figuring two of him fighting against heroes will be more effective than one. Before they leave, Darkwing comments on all of the costumes on display within Onyx's cave, and Onyx tells him that,
On that note, the two of them head out and embark on a hunt for some heroes in downtown Tokyo. After patrolling for a little bit, they find one of Onyx's targets: the yellow and blue recent graduate from U.A., Muteki (無敵 Invincible). They drop down and jump the young hero, with Onyx grabbing him and snapping his neck, commenting that he "seems pretty vincible". After that, Darkwing starts arguing with him about the ethics of killing and says that Onyx should not have done that. This makes it clear to Onyx that Darkwing must be a hero in his universe, and that they both just assumed they were aligned on the same side, especially with Onyx preferring to refer to heroes as villains and vice versa. Darkwing engages him in combat, but Onyx quickly opts to send him into the Shadowverse, knowing that he will most likely not be able to take on a hero version of himself. Onyx tells him that he presumed Darkwing to be fine with killing after Darkwing had described his fight with an ex-hero from his world who had turned on Darkwing and his team. Onyx also learns that Darkwing doesn't actually have powers like Onyx, and had to develop technology that could give him access to the verse. This confession gives Onyx the confidence to try and kill Darkwing, seeing as how he has the advantage over him in the power department. After Onyx tells Darkwing that no humans are good and in fact,
After Onyx attempts to escape back into his reality, Darkwing grabs onto him and the two fall out into an alleyway in Tokyo. They get into a fight there, trading blows in a close hand-to-hand fight, and Onyx thinks he has Darkwing on the ropes when he grabs a knife off of the ground and is able to slice Darkwing's abdomen with it. However from then on, Darkwing is able to perfectly counter and parry each of Onyx's attacks, and is provided help when Rock Lock shows back up out of nowhere and lands the final blow, knocking out Onyx.
Later, Onyx wakes up in a cell being guarded by one of the heroes he hates the most, Rock Lock. Onyx laughs maniacally before using the Shadowverse to easily escape custody and return to his cave.
=== Black Swan Syndicate (2030) ===
Onyx was the final member of the recently formed Black Swan Syndicate, because he never wanted to work for anyone--let alone people younger than him by a significant margin. However, due to the pay being very high and the leaders seemingly competent, he agreed to join.
==== Clashing with Hangman (April) ====
One day after joining the Black Swan Syndicate, Onyx challenged the leadership of both the leader of the group, Nero as well as the second-in-command to him, Hangman. After the first official meeting of the group, Nero handed a list of possible superhero targets to be eliminated, trusting Onyx with the job of taking them out, as well as the job of scoping out a superhero museum for a potential heist. Hangman insisted on joining Onyx, claiming he couldn't do the job on his own, and this lead to very high tensions between the two, with both of them insulting each other and praising themselves as the greatest. This confrontation, combined with Onyx's insubordination and disrespect, lead to the two of them clashing in the middle of the meeting room. The fight seemed to last forever, alternating between the planes of both earth and in the Shadowverse. Numerous times throughout the fight Onyx nearly won over Hangman, causing Hangman to have to inject himself with healing components to stay in the fight. In the end, Hangman was just barely able to take the victory, knocking Onyx out. With the help of Nero, Hangman woke him up, and both Onyx and Hangman confessed to having mutual respect for one another after such a closely fought battle.
==== Scouting the Museum ====
Nero sends Onyx on a recon mission to the local superhero museum to scout it out for a potential heist. While scouting it, Onyx learns a lot about the location and its valuables, even having an awkward interaction with a secretary causing some security to keep their eyes on him. After he is done, he heads back to the Black Swan Headquarters and compiles a dossier on the location, even including a heist plan proposal he came up with and puts it on the desk of Nero. At the same time, Hangman is in the room and offers Onyx some weed he confiscated from a drug dealer he tortured, remarking that Onyx must have been around it a lot. Onyx asks if that was racially motivated, and that's when Hangman takes off his mask, revealing he is also black.
The dossier Onyx compiled reads as such:
==== Hostile Takeover ====
Shortly after, the team (minus Akhiro and some new recruits) show up to a local Italian restaurant, which is a front for a drug operation (that they learned the location of thanks to the help of Hangman's torture interrogation), the group enters and immediately start fighting the criminals within the building. After easily piecing up the goons out front, they head into the back room where the boss of the operation is, named Sokushi, and they kill him, making an example for the employees that see this happen. With that, the Black Swans take over the restaurant and force Sokushi's ex-employees to work for them.
==== Superhero Museum Heist ====
Later that day while everyone is doing their own thing, Onyx heads to the local homeless shelter to eliminate some easy targets. Everyone is sleeping so he simply just sends one of them into the Shadowverse before heading back to base, not before promptly attempting to trip someone while walking down the street. All the while, Akhiro is on a mission to purchase a device that can be used to shut down all communications in the Superhero Museum.
At around 9pm the Black Swans have a meeting where Nero goes through their revised plan which is as follows:
The group arrives at the museum around the end of its working day, and the plan is followed to the letter. Akhiro does his thing, which allows Onyx to enter the Shadowverse and opens a portal directly inside the vault where he sees some historical records and documents as well as safety deposit boxes. He sends them into the Shadowverse. Grunder and Hangman then cause their scene out in the lobby area of the museum, which allows Nero to send the other recruits in to start looting. Onyx re-enters the Shadowverse and pops out beside Nero to let him know that "the bag is secured". Nero is flabbergasted by this and tells him the purpose of the air pods they are sharing amongst the group are for communication. As things heat up on the first floor with the gang looting and Grunder and Hangman distracting the security guards, Onyx heads up to the second floor via Shadowverse and stashes the All-Might statue inside it. With that, everyone is finished looting and heads up to the second floor to regroup with Onyx, where they all enter the Shadowverse.Nero lets Grunder and Hangman know that it's time to finish, and the two of them leave the Museum while the group appear at headquarters now, with everything secured. When everything is brought out, Onyx takes the All-Might costume and puts in the Shadowverse so that he can put it on display in his cave along with the costumes of the heroes he has actually killed. He did this so that he could use it as fuel to remind him of the day he got embarrassed by All-Might, because this is the suit All-Might was wearing at the time. It will be positioned front and center in his cave so that he is reminded everyday about his secondary goal: make All-Might bow to him.
The items they stole value up to $80,000... or so they think. They open a box to find a diamond, which their appraiser tells them contains the ashes of the first hero. He was cremated and the ashes were put into that diamond. The appraiser tells them that this could be worth $30,000,000 and that they would be in immense trouble if they get caught. They finish counting up the sellable items, and find that aside from the diamond, they have $20,000 extra, totaling $100,000.
They turn on the TV and see that there is an emergency broadcast of the police chief discussing the night's events. He announces that he has "anti-villain contraptions" titled "Liberators" which are robots that have access to criminal databases and hero quirks, and kill supervillains on-sight. He finishes off by saying that today is a dark day, and then ends it with him asking for the people to vote for him.
==== Recruiting a New Villain ====
The next day he is woken up at 6am by a text from Hangman telling all members of the Syndicate to come to base pronto. He teleports to base and is informed that he will be given extra money and is in fact not needed anymore. Feeling bad, Nero sends him out on a mission so that he didn't come here for no reason, and that mission is to look out for Liberator robots and do some recon on them. After standing on the ledge of a roof and brooding for about half an hour, he does not see any Liberator's on patrol, and figures they must only come out in situations when someone is causing mayhem using a quirk.
Onyx returns to base and reports this to Nero, who asks him to go back out and look for people causing mayhem with quirks (and potentially recruit them). It's about 7am now and Onyx heads around a street corner (wearing his villain costume) where he hears an explosion nearby. He heads around the bend to see a giant green goo holding on to a woman. Shortly thereafter, a pair of Liberators appear alongside the police officers and fire lasers at the goo. Onyx watches from the shadows and sees the goo form a wall to block the bullets. The woman's now headless body falls to the ground, her head having been shot off by a laser--this makes Onyx slightly smile. He opens a portal and heads behind the man causing all of this, who is wearing a green safety suit with a blaster as well. Onyx starts conversation with him, introducing himself as Nightshade. They shockingly have a banter (because Onyx doesn't really talk at all) where Onyx says he started in the 2000s and the man calls him washed up. Onyx asks him what he knows about Liberators and whether he "hates humanity as much as I do". The man says he only cares about the money, and Onyx is somehow able to convince him to come back to Swan Syndicate HQ and join the Swans. Onyx opens a portal to the base and the two walk through it, coming out in Nero's office. To Nero's surprise, Onyx was actually able to recruit someone, and he thanks Onyx for this. The man introduces himself as Plasma Surge, and Nero gives him the basic rundown of how things work within the Syndicate, as well as who the current members are. Plasma Surge then leaves, as it is just Nero and Onyx in his office now. Onyx leaves.
A thought crosses Onyx's mind: now that he has a team, he can try to finally take down All-Might..
==== Study Your Enemy ====
While the rest of the Swans are back at base training, Onyx heads to the local library to study up on All-Might. He wants to learn everything he can about the hero-his feats, quirk, history, everything. If he is going to take on the top hero in the world, he needs to know every single thing he can about this man. He walks up to the receptionist and asks where their All-Might books are. The receptionist tells him that they are all down aisle seven, including children's books. Onyx walks down to aisle seven and sees that every single book in the aisle is about All-Might, from textbooks to history books to chronicles to children's books. Onyx starts dropping them all into the Shadowverse and while he is doing so, the receptionist approaches him and asks what he is doing. Onyx stats that he is simply "borrowing these books", to which the receptionist figures it is not worth it to risk his life as a volunteer, so he permits Onyx to continue taking them as long as he promises to bring them back. With that, Onyx empties all of the shelves of aisle seven into the Shadowverse, and then heads back to his cave to start studying all of the material. 
==== Blackwood Assassination ====
After reading nearly half of the books he has, Onyx gets a call from Nero, calling him to base for a meeting about a mission he has for the team, that Onyx has an integral role in. Onyx hangs up and teleports back to base, where everyone gets together in the meeting room. Nero tells them that he came up with a plan to assassinate the head of the Blackwood family and gaslight his son Zio to give them command of his father's organization.
=== Humiliated Again (2035) ===
One night, after figuring out that All-Might is currently in his office at Might Tower in Tokyo, Onyx pays him a visit with the device he and Nero constructed, called Bittersweet Release, which is a device that connects a person's heart and their brain to transport them to their ideal reality, where they will live it out inside their mind, not even knowing they are in a dream. He uses the Shadowverse to traverse through the building, up to the very top where All-Might's office is. When the rest of the building has gone home, All-Might finishes cleaning up before shutting down Might Tower until the morning. However, somehow he sensed that Onyx was there, and--in one fowl sweep--turns around and flies at Onyx in the darkness, grabbing him by his neck. Onyx greets All-Might and asks if he recognizes him, to which All-Might tells him that he does not. This infuriates Onyx, how could he have spent so many years plotting his revenge against All-Might, only to be a villain of the week? Onyx tells him,
This reminds All-Might who he is, and even calls Onyx a monster for all the heroes he has killed over the years. Not being known as someone to smile Onyx smiles slightly before quickly placing the Bittersweet Release on All-Might's chest, making him drop to the floor, still standing, however also releasing Onyx. Onyx gets up and dusts himself off as he looks upon the world's Symbol of Peace, helpless. Onyx ponders what All-Might could be seeing.. a world where billions of adoring fans are bowing down to him? A world where he reigns supreme as the leader? Onyx spends several minutes rummaging through All-Might's office and thinking of ways to torture him, before he accidentally activates the silent alarm, which alerts nearby heroes that the tower has been compromised. Unknowing of this fact, Onyx continues to rummage, before he is greeted by Endeavor (the world's number two hero) and a very new hero who recently debuted, who goes by the moniker of Kamui Woods. Endeavor actually recognizes Onyx as "America's most notorious supervillain" and instantly recognizes what kind of threat he is to the hero community. He also recalls hearing about how All-Might humiliated Onyx years prior, although Onyx hated Endeavor's retelling of the events. Kamui Woods and Endeavor make the plan that Woods would take on Onyx while Endeavor figured out how to free All-Might.
Onyx and Kamui Woods fight for about a minute, before Endeavor is able to free All-Might from his coma. Enraged, All-Might leaps at Onyx and starts fighting him, demanding to know what was done to him. Onyx explains that,
Before inquiring about what All-Might saw in his dream, and even asking if it was what Onyx thought it could have been. All-Might chooses not to answer, giving Onyx the idea that he was right.. in All-Might's ideal world everyone is bowing down to and praising him like he is a god. As All-Might beats down on Onyx, Onyx gets PTSD from their last encounter over thirty years ago, and he desperately tries to fight back for several minutes, trying to use his portals to fight All-Might, but nothing works. All-Might is able to best Onyx and knock him out.
When Onyx comes to, he is being transported to the maximum supervillain prison facility called Tartarus, which is located in an unknown location, far away from humanity. He has been sentenced to a life sentence for each of the heroes he has killed, and will spend the first ten years of his sentence locked away in Tartarus, before being deported back to America and transported to a building he hasn't seen the inside of since he last fought All-Might: the Midnight City branch of the Supervillain Correctional Facilities. Since his escape, they have upped their security measures, so that not even a villain such as the notorious One For All could escape its walls. Onyx braces himself for a very long rest of his life.
=== Finding out about All-Might (2036) ===
While locked away in Tartarus, Onyx is sitting in his cell reading a book and minding his own business. Shortly thereafter, the warden announces that it is time for dinner and that all inmates must converge in the cafeteria designated to their sectors. Onyx puts his book down and heads into the hallway, which looks like rush hour traffic, making his way steadily down to his cafeteria. He stands in line as the workers serve him and his fellow inmates the disgusting food they have prepared, and then Onyx finds a table in the corner of the room, by a wall-mounted TV. He watches the TV while he eats and sees All-Might on it. At first, he just assumes it has something to do with U.A. and the star students who've been on the news for facing off with real villains numerous times, but instead, Onyx notices that All-Might is currently fighting the notorious villain, One For All. It seems very intense, with both of them trading blows, and then it happens: One For All hits All-Might with an attack so strong, that it seems to have done something strange to him... in All-Might's place is a skeleton-looking man in All-Might's uniform. The broadcaster seems shocked by this, as does everyone else in the cafeteria. Onyx is not shocked by the revelation that All-Might's muscular form is a façade, rather, he is enraged. He thinks to himself, How can I have been bested and humiliated twice by a fraud?! I HAVE MORE MUSCLE MASS THAN HIM!Onyx freezes in his spot, shaking with rage not even touching his food. He feels even more humiliated and devastated that he won't have another chance to fight All-Might and prove that he is better. The fight continues, and as if the gods had set out to make Onyx furious that day, One For All loses his fight against All-Might. Dinner ends and everyone goes back to their cells, where Onyx opts to just go to sleep for the rest of the night, because after seeing All-Might's true form he had lost all motivation to do anything at all.
=== Nightshade No More (2047-2061) ===
After a very long decade of isolation in Tartarus, Onyx was deported back to America and sent to the Midnight City Supervillain Correctional Facility. This is the first time he had been here in 2005 when he had fallen for his psychiatrist and used her to help him escape. He notices that Dr. Quillan is no longer working here, and that the security has been severely boosted, to the point where one of the guards tauntingly told him that,
However, Onyx was also informed that now that he is in his "recovery" and "rehabilitation" phase of his sentence, it is possible for him to be bailed out of the Facility... if only he knew anybody...
After a few months of serving his time, he was awoken one morning to find that someone had anonymously bailed him out. He is lead through an exit-ticket process, where he is given his Nightshade suit back and was to sign some papers, before being lead outside via the front doors. Outside, he sees a chauffeur and a limousine ready and waiting for him. Onyx hesitantly approaches it, and the chauffeur tells him that it was sent for him by Dr. Quillan. It is this assurance that convinces Onyx to get in the car.
As he is driven through the streets of Midnight City, he can't help but feel nostalgic for a time in his past, having not stepped foot in the streets of this city for over twenty years, he gets a rush of memories from his youth and also the "golden age" of his villainy. Eventually, the car comes to a stop on a street underneath the subway tracks, and in front of a building with a sign reading Dr. Zane Quillan: Quirk Therapy. He gets out of the car and walks into Dr. Quillan's office building. He notices that all the employees (such as the receptionist, janitors, etc.) are dressed in attire similar to Zane's henchmen and women when she was a villain back in the '90s, which consisted of clown masks and black and red outfits. The receptionist welcomes him and tells him that Dr. Quillan is in her office waiting for him. He nods to the receptionist before walking through the door that has a sign reading "Dr. Quillan". Inside it, he sees a woman that cannot possibly be Dr. Quillan. He immediately assumes that this is a copycat and lunges across her desk, grabbing her by the throat and demanding to know why she is copying Zane. She insists that it is her, and tells him that she was blessed by a patient of hers who used his Quirk to slow down her aging, making her look like she is in her 40s while she is currently in her 70s. Onyx still doesn't believe her, so she pulls out all the stops and recalls the very intimate encounter they had in 2005. This causes Onyx to stop in his tracks as memories of that day fill his head and he remembers that she is the only person he has ever found himself truly feeling love for. The two of them catch up in her office and ultimately decide to become a couple, as they bring out the best in each other.
With that, Onyx decided to retire from villainy and just work under Zane in her office, making her the main breadwinner of the household. The two of them would go on to get married and even have a child together, whom they named Luna Quillan-McGregor. The McGregor's also moved away from Midnight City in 2051 to start fresh before the birth of their daughter, moving out to Chicago instead.
=== Not-So-Happy Ending (2069) ===
One day, while Onyx (now age 84) is tending to his family's garden while his daughter is at school and his wife is at work, a mysterious young hero dressed in a blue and red costume with yellow eye lenses. The hero flips and lands in front of him, shouting "Nightshade" at the top of his lungs. Onyx tells him that he no longer goes by that name as, 
Onyx explains that he is retired from villainy and has come to peace with his past, moved on from that anger. The superhero, a high school student with a spider Quirk by the name "Redback", does not seem to believe that Nightshade could be capable of that, and in a fit of rage, the hero beats Onyx to death in his front lawn. Onyx lets it happen, figuring it was karma from the gods that he died the way so many of his victims did... brutally and helpless. The last thing he sees is Zane come outside in shock, only for Redback to yell at her too, before killing her after Onyx, and then fleeing the scene.
