History:
(Strange Tales II#18/2) - Catherwood looked after Victoria Bentley as she recuperated
from the loss of her mystic powers at the Hotel Resplendent in Southern
England. Dr. Strange came to apologize, but an unforgiving Catherwood struck
him a brutal blow with the back of his hand. Doc restored all of Victoria's
lost powers and then some, and Catherwood looked on as Doc and Victoria shared
a tender moment.
(Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme
I#1) - Dr. Strange cast a spell that made the entire world believe he was
dead. In the illusion, Victoria Bentley and Edward Catherwood were among those
who attended the fictitious funeral service.
(Black Knight II#1) - Catherwood assisted Victoria Bentley as she cast a mystic spell using the
Crystal of Bas-Lyonesse that reanimated the body of the Black Knight. The
Knight's body was not inhabited by the spirit of Dane Whitman, but rather by
that of his ancestor, Sir Percy of Scandia, the first Black Knight. Sir Percy
battled an evil demon and Catherwood received a minor injury but recovered
fully.
(Avengers
Spotlight I#39) - Upon the Black
Knight's return to Garrett Castle Washington D.C., Catherwood greeted
him and
stabled his winged horse Valinor. Later, Catherwood admitted a Mrs.
Blackwood, who had come seeking the Knight's aid for her deranged
husband Arthur, the
Crusader, whom she feared was guilty of murder.
(Avengers I Annual#22) - Following
the reception of an Avengers Priority Alert, Catherwood saddled the Black
Knight's winged horse Valinor and brought him up from the Garrett Castle
stables. In the Knight's absence, Achmed and another intruder broke into the
castle. Catherwood tried to defend the castle using the Knight's Power Lance
but was overpowered. The villains were eventually killed by Blood Wraith who
was himself defeated by the Avengers.
