## History

### Early Years

It is unknown where Blackhand was born and who he was born to. All that Black Thought figured out is that Blackhand was a former soldier in the Navy who was honorably discharged after losing his right arm. Blackhand would be approached by Dr. Harrison Maxis, who offered him a chance to be a soldier again and restore his right arm, which Blackhand agreed to. Thus, he joined Lazarus and gained his signature black cybernetic arm, where he got his namesake. He was tasked with watching the genetic experiments but failed when Kendrick and Ethan Park escaped.

### Hunting Woods & Kendrick

Blackhand would track Kendrick, Ethan, Woods, and Black Thought across the NUSA to retrieve Kendrick. However, he would become increasingly more vicious and brutal with his methods. This brutality was shown when he orchestrated the slaughter at Lenore Ranch by unleashing a clone of Woods named Sky and when he sacrificed his fellow Lazarus operative, Silas, to ensure that the tracker bullets they fired at Woods and Kendrick would work. He would meet his untimely death at the hands of Woods after Kendrick was killed. Woods beheaded Blackhand in front of the Extremity base in Helena, Montana, but Blackhand swore that he would return to kill Woods.

### Return & Second Death

Naomi Maxis would resurrect Blackhand after she completed her father's work on a serum known as the Inferus Pathogen. Now revived, Blackhand planned his revenge against Woods but failed colossally. Naomi, Harrison, and Blackhand would activate the AI construct known as The Voices from the Edge, but the AI would turn on Lazarus and kill them, destroying the Inferus Pathogen. The District of Columbia cremated Blackhand's body to prevent it from returning.

## Attributes

### Powers

**Cybernetically Enhanced Physiology:** After agreeing to join Lazarus, Blackhand was enhanced slightly by Dr. Harrison Maxis through technology. His right arm was restored with a smooth, raven-black reactive cybernetic arm. The component allows Blackhand to lift ten times his physical weight, and while the arm was the main focus, his baser attributes also evolved. His stamina, speed, and agility were also heightened to being just below superhuman. While he was better than an average human, he still had a man's durability at his height and weight.

### Abilities

**Military Training:** As Blackhand was a Navy Seal, he had received extensive military training from the Navy and later Lazarus. He could hold his own combat-wise against Woods but often resorted to cheap tricks to gain the upper hand. He was also an accomplished marksman.
