Valinor has been the faithful steed of the Black Knight, enchanted by Amergin in Avalon to have a link to the Ebony Blade and obey the commands of the blade's wielder. The spell also gave the black horse the wings of a bat and allowed Valinor to fly. He served as a faithful companion to Dane Whitman, the current Black Knight, for a time until the spell that granted him his wings and powers made him sick. He was cured by Doctor Strange. During a fight with Magdalene he was shot by a power beam but was rescued by Thunderstrike. Sometime after that he was kidnapped by the Bloodwraith and made to fight his former owner and his friends
