''Black Axe'' is a Creator/MarvelComics series, published as part of the Creator/MarvelUK brand.

The protagonist is the immortal wielder of the titular axe. He’s about fifteen thousand years old, and he’s used a lot of different aliases in that time, but his ‘real’ name (if he has one) and full background are unrevealed.

For much of that time he’s been a mercenary, but in the 20th century he retired. And then [[EvilInc Mys-Tech]] offered him one last job.

----
