Major Story Arcs
Lethal Protection
Black obsidian was first seen in a investigation led by Miles Morales and Misty Knight of high-tech weapons being supplied and created by the supervillain Rabble aka Raneen Rashad to the local gangs of Brooklyn. Black obsidian and his goons were seen inside a warehouse with various high-tech firearms and weapons given to him by Rabble for a pretty penny. The young Spider-Man encounters Obsidian going on about his ambitions to become a prominent gang leader in Brooklyn and then becomes locked into a battle with him and his gang until interrupted by Dylan Brock. Black Obsidian and his henchman were easily defeated by next generation Spider-Man and Venom due to there sheer power and were then webbed outside the warehouse for the local authorities.
Sibling Day
Miles Morales was enjoying a day off with Billie Morales, Kamala Khan and Shift at a Brooklyn Street art festival after defeating Rabble and the Cape Killers led by Agent Gao until a loud bang is heard. Spider-Man goes to investigate with Ms. Marvel and encounters Black Obsidian and his crew stealing art using hard light constructs. Black Obsidian seems to have upgrade his weapons and suit but even still is taken back by the sudden appearance of the web head; he retreats to a van with all the art stored in it. This results in high-speed chase with Black Obsidian shooting explosive blasts out his gauntlets and throwing grenades while Miles chases him. The Van is intercepted by Ms. Marvel and a pincer attack was swiftly initiated by Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel leading Black Obsidian to another defeat and a mouthful of webbing.
