Scooby-Doo

The Black Knight is a recurring villain in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He appears as a suit of medieval armor brought to life, often haunting castles, museums, or historical locations.

While the armor appears to be animated, it is consistently revealed to be controlled by a human antagonist. Their motives generally revolve around theft, real estate schemes, or concealing illegal activities. They utilize the frightening image of the Black Knight to scare away investigators and potential witnesses.

Several different characters have donned the Black Knight persona across the various Scooby-Doo series and films. Notable iterations include Mr. Wickles in "What a Night for a Knight" and the Black Knight Ghost in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Despite the varying identities, the core concept remains the same: a deceptive figure leveraging the legend of a haunted suit of armor for personal gain.
