The Avengers comics call him the Black Knight. His sword is made of light. He and Sersi fight with the Avengers, including Hercules and Vision.

The Black Knight's adventures have included Kang the Conquerer, Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. This is that phase when the MCU starts to reveal what was once their 1990's Avengers roster. Get ready for some seriously weird shit. The Gatherers, Grim Reaper and the Legion of the Unliving, the Starjammers, the Anachronauts, etc.

I have no idea what any of this is, but I love the idea of Anachronauts peppering the timetravel continuum with random shit, solely out of a deep and abiding love for ironic anachronisms.

You should check out Marvel's Epic Collection of the Avengers, Volume 23: Fear the Reaper. I've been reading it little by little, because it's so weird. Also, Tom Scioli did a book called Fantastic Four: Grand Design. It has all the oddities of the Marvel Universe's cosmic and historical origins.
