Klock

Klock is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Donny Cates and artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta, and first appeared in Doctor Strange #11 in October 2016. Klock is a member of the Empirikul, a religious order dedicated to eradicating magic from the universe.

The Empirikul, including Klock, traveled from another dimension with the sole purpose of destroying all magic. They viewed magic as a dangerous and corrupting force that caused suffering. Klock, along with other Empirikul warriors, engaged in a brutal campaign against magic users, particularly Doctor Strange. Their methods were extreme and often involved violence and destruction.

Klock's appearance and abilities are tied to the Empirikul's anti-magic agenda. While specific details about Klock's individual powers beyond general Empirikul capabilities are not extensively detailed, the Empirikul as a group possess advanced technology and combat skills that allow them to neutralize magical threats. Their goal was to create a "magic-free" reality, a vision that directly clashed with the existence of sorcerers like Doctor Strange.

The conflict between the Empirikul and Doctor Strange was a significant storyline, exploring themes of faith, belief, and the nature of magic itself. Klock played a role as an antagonist within this narrative, representing the Empirikul's unwavering conviction and their ruthless pursuit of their objective. The character's existence serves to challenge the status quo of the magical corners of the Marvel Universe.
