Black Order/MCU/T'Challa Became a Star-Lord

*"He's got the Black Order doing security. Take it from me, they're bad news."*
―Thanos to the Ravagers[src]
The **Black Order** was an elite team comprised of powerful individuals who were hired by the Collector for the security of his museum.

## History

### Working for the Collector

After Thanos reformed and abandoned his goal of wipe out half the universe, Taneleer Tivan hired the Black Order for the security of his museum. Proxima Midnight was the head of security while Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian guarded the surroundings. Ebony Maw worked inside the museum, helping the Collector more closely. All of them being supported by their soldiers, the Sakaarans.

#### Theft of the Embers of Genesis

In 2008, T'Challa and his Ravager team, along with Nebula, infiltrated the Collector's Museum in order to steal the Embers of Genesis, using a distraction to remove Midnight from the guard so they could pass and avoid the routinary scanning to visitors that she used to do. When the Ravagers started to fight between them, they attracted the attention of Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian, who were guarding the surroundings of the museum, so Corvus reported the situation and called all the units there.

Midnight went there and stopped the fight with a giant electric explosion produced by her spear. She then realized that was a diversion and ordered to turn on the alarm and lock down the museum.
