Benedict Kine is a member of the Hellfire Club in the Marvel Comics universe.
The character, created by Ian Edington and Gene Ha, first appeared in X-Men Annual#2 in 1994.
Within the context of the stories, Benedict Kine, alongside Reeva Payge and Benazir Kaur, joined the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club following Shinobi Shaw's coup against his father, Sebastian Shaw. Kine was present when Shinobi attempted to force X-Men member Storm into joining him. Kine fought against the X-Men when they tried to rescue Storm but was defeated alongside his fellow Lords Cardinal.
Kine attempted to remove Shinobi Shaw from power and take over the New York branch of the Club by invoking a Rite of Challenging. Kine used the robotic White Knights to hunt down J. Jonah Jameson, hoping that his death would cause the Daily Bugle to cease investigating Hellfire Club. As part of the Rite, Shaw used the Ebon Knights, also robots, to prevent Kine's attempted murder. Jameson was saved thanks to the intervention of Spider-Man and then the X-Men, who were called by Tessa. Following the neutralization of Kine's White Knights, Kine tried to attack Shaw, but was stopped by Spider-Man.

“The Japanese are, to the highest degree, both aggressive and unaggressive, both militaristic and aesthetic, both insolent and polite, rigid and adaptable, submissive and resentful of being pushed around, loyal and treacherous, brave and timid, conservative and hospitable to new ways.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
