All-Black the Necrosword

All-Black is the first of Knull's creations, the very first, and most dangerous Proto-Symbiote.

Appearance
All-Black has never really been shown in it's symbiote form, as it is always depicted as an either black or red sword utilized for killing gods. This doesn't mean it has no symbiote form though. It can be assumed that All-Black would resemble most other corrupt klyntar, being a solid black color with a red spiral on it's head, as well as Knull's red dragon symbol on the chest area.

Personality
All-Black is sentient and possesses a malevolent will of its own, though it’s subservient to its creator Knull and seeks to carry out his agenda of purging all life from the universe - especially the gods. Like other symbiotes, it is capable of communicating with its hosts and seeks to corrupt them; being indicated to have influenced the already misotheistic Gorr into becoming the deicidal God-Butcher, trying to influence All-Father Thor into killing Old Galactus, and corrupting Old Galactus into the monstrous Butcher of Worlds

Abilities/Powers
The first and most-powerful symbiote manifested by Knull from the living abyss, All-Black is metaphysically tethered to the undead corpse of the Celestial used to refine it, which supplies it with power in exchange for assimilating the souls of those slain by the Necrosword. In addition to the abilities bestowed by lesser symbiotes, All-Black grants its host powers similar to those of Knull himself. As a result, Gorr -- a mere mortal -- was able to kill countless gods and essentially became a dark god himself; simultaneously defeating three versions of Thor. It is also able to fire blasts of dark energy, to augment the wielder's own divine abilities, and kill immortal beings as powerful as the Celestials.


 * Superhuman Strength: All-Black augments its host's strength to the extent that a mortal such as Gorr was able throw chunks of a moon into space; best Young Thor, present-day Thor, and All-Father Thor in combat all at the same time; and single-handedly defeat millions of gods in open combat - including one that supposedly "wrestled with black holes for fun." However, it is meant to be wielded by a god: Knull was able to decapitate a Celestial with a single strike, King Thor was able to defeat Galactus in single combat, Galactus effortlessly destroyed countless planets using its power, Ego used it to devour the last of the Celestials of Earth-14412, and Loki effortlessly destroyed Ego as a test of his newfound power.
 * Superhuman Durability: While wielding All-Black, Knull was able to survive prolonged combat against armies of hundreds of other gods; while Gorr able to survive a massive lightning bolt summoned by Thor, the Godblast of an Odin-Force powered All-Father Thor - which propelled him "several light years" away in a matter of seconds - and survived being immersed in a star to no ill effect. When thrown into a black hole in an attempt to destroy it, All-Black was unharmed and eventually assimilated the singularity. Loki was also engulfed in Ego's magma while destroying him to no ill effect.
 * Superhuman Speed: By manifesting wings, All-Black enables its host to fly at hypersonic and possibly faster-than-light speeds, as when Gorr quickly overtook Thor during their first encounter.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: Gorr was able to catch Thor rather easily off guard, as well as many other gods.
 * Longevity: After bonding to All-Black, Gorr lived for at least three-thousand years and still looked to be in his prime.
 * Regeneration: While bonded to All-Black, Gorr was able to recover from a lightning strike within four days with no signs of injury from the incident. He was also able to regenerate or reattach his arm after it was severed by Thor.
 * Constituent-Matter Manipulation: While All-Black's original and preferred form is that of a sword, it is able to shapeshift to create clothes, armor, wings, weapons, and tendrils from its living abyss. It can also be used to create semi/fully sentient entities as minions, such as the shadowy beasts known as the "Black Berserkers".
 * Dark Energy Manipulation: All-Black is capable of wreathing itself in or discharging blasts of purple energy -- as seen during Knull's battle with the Silver Surfer, and when Gorr used it to blow up a Space Shark in his battle with young Thor. It was also capable of augmenting the innate energy projection abilities of its hosts, as seen when All-Father Thor used it to strengthen both his Thorforce and mystical lightning when battling Galactus, turning them black.
 * Divine Slaying: The weapon's main purpose is the killing of Celestials, gods, and other cosmic entities; and as such it is capable of bypassing their immortality and affecting them as though they were mortal. As an extension of this, All-Black feeds off and draws its strength from the blood of gods it kills, and the more gods killed by it or its creations the more power it can provide its host; though this power must be replenished as it is used up.

Weaknesses

 * Mostly, All-Black can be damaged by divine/cosmic abilities. These are what affect him the most. He can still be damaged with things like magic or energy attacks, pretty much anything non-physical, but they won't work as well.
 * Knull notes that All-Black's forging gave it and most subsequent symbiotes a psychosomatic fear of intense heat and sonic vibrations. Despite this, All-Black was not only able to survive being thrown into a star to no ill effect but turn it black - causing an assortment of ill omens in the process.
