The Blue Knight was knight-errant of King Arthur's era in Reality Z-25 31-H, who derived their invincibility in battle from magical blue armour given to them by Merlin. Their original career ended when they became trapped under a boulder for centuries — kept alive by the magic of the armour, but unable to leave.

Description

Physical appearance

The Blue Knight was never seen without their iconic blue armour, which also included a helm with large round eye-holes protected by fine grating, as well as a red cape. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

Personality

The Blue Knight originally saw their existence as a straightforward, traditional struggle of a noble knight against evil forces. The Knight never considered that the case of the Princess “abducted” by the Dragon might not have been the manichean case they thought it was, a fatal mistake which led to their entrapment under the boulder. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

Powers & abilities

Beyond the ability to ride a horse and a base level of competence at swordfighting, the Blue Knight's combat prowess mostly stemmed from their invulnerability to physical blows, owing to the magic of their armour, enchanted by Merlin. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

Biography

Origins

Living in King Arthur's England, this individual became the Blue Knight when they were gifted their enchanted blue armour by the “legendary” wizard Merlin. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

Defying the Dragon

The Blue Knight crucially misapprehends the situation. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)

After many other adventures, the Blue Knight was despatched to retrieve a maiden Princess who was thought to have been abducted by a Dragon. Riding alone into the wilderness, the Knight found the Dragon and Princess. They were immediately knocked off their horse by the Dragon, but continued fighting him on foot with their sword. However, they had not realised that the Princess was actually in love with the Dragon and had eloped with him. Climbing up a nearby cliff, the Princess rolled a boulder off the edge; dropping down onto the Knight, it pinned them in place, even if their magic armour prevented them from being killed. The Dragon and Princess then departed, intent on travelling to some other land where their forbidden love would not be judged. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon)
