For the pinball tables by Steve Ritchie, click here. Not to be confused with that Sonic the Hedgehog game, although it's also part of this trope. Compare Tin Tyrant, which applies this trope to an Evil Overlord character by giving them a Scary Impractical Armor (though the armor itself may not be literally black). See also Darth Vader Clone, because Darth Vader himself is both an example of this trope and a popular inspiration for enough Black Knight characters that his Fountain of Expies status makes him a modern Trope Codifier. If the Black Knight is in service to a female villain, then it may be a case of Dark Lady and Black Knight. A Monster Knight has a high chance of being a Black Knight. They might also be the holy, chosen guardians of The Sacred Darkness or a Magic Knight who uses that power alongside their sword.Ī Sub-Trope of Evil Wears Black. If they are villainous and end up fighting another bad guy, the chances that they are A Lighter Shade of Black in that situation are extremely high. This character very rarely is a total villain, but also only rarely The Hero. More likely, they can be anything from a Knight in Sour Armor to a Noble Demon.
While that can take a variety of forms, they rarely are the Knight in Shining Armor. This places them rather high among the list of potential candidates for Dark Is Not Evil, or at least a sympathetic form of villainy. Note that, although being a black knight, this character is still a knight.
