Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon) is a fictional character that appears in publications by Marvel Comics. Black Bolt is the ruler of the Inhumans. His most prominent offensive weapon is his voice, as his electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of his brain. Speaking triggers a massive disturbance capable of leveling a city. Due to the extreme danger posed by this power, the character has undergone rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering a sound, even in sleep.
The character of Black Bolt has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as arcade and video games, animated television series, and merchandise such as trading cards.

“Here’s neither bush nor shrub to bear off any weather at all. And another storm brewing, I hear it sing i’ the wind.

Yond same cloud cannot choose but fall by pailfuls.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“May I in my brief bolt across the scene
Not be misunderstood in what I mean.”
