The New Black Comet and its Black Arms trailed after the original Black Comet, remaining at a world the Black Arms had invaded to complete its conquest. It was here that Black Death sensed the defeat of Black Doom at the hands of Shadow the Hedgehog. Fearing that he lacked the power to defeat Shadow where his master had failed, Black Death ordered the creation of a Black Arms warrior designed specifically to destroy Shadow: Eclipse the Darkling. At Eclipse's suggestion, the comet altered its path away from Mobius to stop at the homeworld of the Wisps, where they captured several of the creatures for experimentation. (SU: #59, #69)
