Fictional character biography
Bram Velsing is a Latverian scientist, unsatisfied with serving Doctor Doom whom he referred to as a "grotesque mockery of a man" and thought himself as his superior. Upon learning of Velsing's treacherous ideals, Doom grafts a skull-like metal helmet to his head using a Bio-Fusor device, scarring him as a way to make him even with Doom. [2] Velsing flees and comes under the care of Victoria Frankenstein, who nurses him back to health at Castle Frankenstein. Velsing gains a variety of weapons and rides the "Hellhorse", a bat-winged horse created by Victoria Frankenstein using the Black Knight's horse Aragorn. Calling himself Dreadknight, Velsing attempts to force more resources from Frankenstein to defeat Doom, only to be defeated by Iron Man and Frankenstein's Monster and rendered comatose. [3]
Dreadknight is revived by the mystical villains Morgan Le Fay and Mordred and menaced Captain Britain, Victoria Bentley, and Sean Dolan, but is defeated by Dane Whitman. [4]
Dreadknight appears as a member of Wizard's incarnation of the Frightful Four alongside Trapster and Man-Bull. In their attempt to capture a physicist named Dr. Cargill, the Frightful Four were defeated by Spider-Man and Cargill's daughter Turbine. [5]
Dreadknight battles Iron Man while working for and still resenting Doctor Doom, but is defeated and the Hellhorse leaves him him. [6]
During the "One World Under Doom" storyline, Dreadknight joins Mad Thinker's incarnation of the Masters of Evil and assists them in invading the Impossible City while still resenting Doctor Doom. [7] After Sam Wilson's Captain America form had the Man-Slayer's "Suit" form plug into the computer to extract Black Panther, Mad Thinker sent Dreadknight after them while alerting the other Masters of Evil members. While pursuing them on Hellhorse, Dreadknight is knocked down by a radio tower's extending arm. Sam Wilson threw Dreadknight down a vent as Mister Hyde shows up. [8] While Sam Wilson and Black Panther are fighting Mad Thinker in his Super-Adaptoid armor, the Impossible City's suit extension takes control of Dreadknight and puts the Impossible City under a hard reset.
