Black Bolt
Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appears in Fantastic Four #45 (December 1965). Black Bolt is the ruler of the Inhumans, a reclusive race of genetically altered superhumans. Black Bolt's signature power is his voice, as his electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of his brain. Speaking triggers a massive disturbance in the form of a highly destructive shockwave 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, and he usually remains completely silent and communicates through sign language or via spokesperson.
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.

Blackballed
Slowly but surely I'm starting to find
The "in" crowd is blind being led by the blind
Pressure to conform is incredibly stiff
They'll warm you up and tell you to jump off a cliff
From the herd I have been purged
I'll have to learn to live with the scourge
Cuz I'm not even gonna come close to the the verge
Of doing the meaningless things they urge
Blackballed
The powers that be
Blackballed
Have rejected me
Blackballed
They say I'm deluded
Blackballed
I'm never included
Most folks behave like Santa's elves
They flat out refuse to think for themselves
Like hormone fed poultry in a KFC coop
Hooked to an I.V. of chicken soup
Like heffers filing to a slaughter
They all look the same as they stand in line
I'm in the corner with a glass of water
Watching them celebrate Miller time
Blackballed
They don't want me around
Blackballed
They're putting me down
Blackballed
Everyday of the week
Blackballed
They say I'm a geek
I'm sure that Everest & Jennings
Can get by with selling one less chair
Running with that pack of lemmings
Looks like it'll only lead to nowhere
Blackballed
I can't get in
Blackballed
They don't want me it
Blackballed
Nowhere to hide
Blackballed
