Who is Black Abbott?

Brief History Black Abbott was one of the Monks of Dakoth-Kuru, a sect that had managed to use their teachings to unlock the full potential of their minds, giving them incredible mental powers. One, however, had more powers, the ability to control the twelve others and use them to act as "limbs" of his. Taking control of the entire brotherhood, the Black Abbott sought ultimate power. One of The Black Apostle posing as him hired the Taskmaster to gather a large number of local gang members together to be trained to work with him. Unfortunately for the Abbott, they were disrupted by Nomad and Spider-Man , who were chasing a thief. Taskmaster easily captured Nomad, while the false Abbott waited for Spider-Man to get within range, then blasted him with a psychic bolt, knocking him unconscious. When one of the gang members decided that he wanted no part of something involving super-heroes, the Apostle attempted to mentally change his mind, but failing, opted to reduce the man to ash instead. Just as he was about to do the same to Spider-Man, a groggy Nomad grabbed Taskmaster's shield and threw it between them.
