Brief History
Blackbyrd is a no-nonsense detective who could be described as a dirty Harry version of Shaft. He has no problem with killing an enemy, and this fact is very evident in his premiere as he shoots an escaping man who had just killed an innocent woman. Blackbyrd has no respect for anyone and installs fear in anyone who has ever gotten his bad side. He makes for an interesting anti-hero. Blackbyrd has no superpowers, but he is a skilled marksman and detective as well as a decent scrapper.
