Origin
A figure who's identity surrounded in mystery and having the body of Goku, Black seeks to eradicate humanity, which he faults as the "greatest mistake of the Gods". He claims to have destroyed many civilizations, and arrived in Future Trunk's timeline to continue destroy humanity, in which he killed Future Bulma.
When Trunks escaped Black via his time machine, Black was able to follow him through a hole in space with the Ring of Time. It was there that he met the real Goku and fought him before being pulled back to his own time. He destroyed Trunks' time machine before he left, stranding his enemy in the past.
Creation
