Build Comments: Black Swan first appeared during Jonathan Hickman’s Infinity series a few years back as a cryptic speaking harbinger of Incursions. She eventually became part of Thanos’ Cabal then a member of The Black Order, replacing the deceased (and underwhelming) Supergiant.
She was actually pretty decent in The Black Order limited series, getting some good one liners and showing a more consistent flying brick powerset. Overall, her powers are pretty ill defined so I just did what I’ve seen.
Secret Origins: Yabbat Ummon Tarru was a princess on Earth-T365 and became its lone survivor. When she was four years old, her earth was involved in an incursion event, where two universes are colliding with each other at the focal point of their Earths. A race of beings called Black Priests came from the parallel Earth, intent on destroying her Earth to save their own universe and killing anyone who stood in their way. She fled into the Library of Worlds, a way station of the multiverse. There she was met by three Black Swans (female beings each of a different appearance) who took her in and raised her to be a Black Swan.
The Story so Far: This new Black Swan came to Earth-T1 when it experienced its first incursion event. She was intent on destroying Earth in order to save both universes involved in the incursion. She fails and is then captured by Black Panther and imprisoned below Necropolis, The City of the Dead in Wakanda. Mister Fantastic is chosen to interrogate the Black Swan. While she seems cold and ruthless, she is seen via security camera weeping and crying out for help when sleeping. Though she is straightforward with her answers, they seem cryptic and like superstitious nonsense. She constantly warns that worse things are coming, and they need to prepare, but no matter what they do it's only delaying the inevitable because in the end everything dies. It was also revealed that Black Swan has a hatred toward Doctor Strange and magic users in general, being unwilling to tolerate Doctor Strange even talking to her, once he had told her he is a master of the mystic arts and the Sorcerer Supreme. This may be because her original Earth was destroyed by the Black Priests who appear to be magic users wearing helmets with one large eye on them, resembling the Eye of Agamotto.
She eventually agreed to help the Illuminati for a price, which is her own life, and in helping them, she helps herself for the moment. She gives them her history and the only method of permanently stopping incursions into their universe to destroy their Earth. As a sign of her good faith, she also gives them the scientific knowledge to make a device to forecast upcoming incursions, where as up until then, their technology could only detect incursions as they occur; her own such devices are implanted in her eyes. The Illuminati also reverse-engineer her anti-matter injection bomb, which they use to stop the next incursion. Black Swan is later placed in a cell where she has the Terrax of an alternate Earth as a cellmate. Both of them form an alliance where they will use each other's talents for the coming days.
During the Infinity storyline, Thanos finds the Illuminati's base. While looking for the Infinity Gems, Thanos stumbles upon the cell of Black Swan and Terrax. When both of them ask for Thanos to free them in exchange for being one of his lieutenants, Thanos declined and left. Following the defeat of both Thanos and the Builders, Terrax later pointed to Thanos' cell where Black Swan sees that Black Order member Corvus Glaive is slowly reviving.
After Namor was kicked out of the Illuminati, he released Thanos, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, Black Swan, and Terrax in order to form his incarnation of the Cabal. They made plans to do what the Illuminati didn't want to do and that was destroy the worlds that were in the incursions.
They started destroying worlds that would be a threat to their Earth during the incursions. After they were trapped on another Earth, Black Swan and the rest of the Cabal worked with Maker into making a life-raft that would save them from the final incursion where it was deployed during the fight between both its inhabitants. Following the final incursion, Black Swan and the Cabal awoke in their life-raft when it landed on the patchwork planet called Battleworld.
After God Emperor Doom's defeat and the restoration of the Multiverse, Thanos later recruited Black Swan to join his second incarnation of the Black Order.
