Man in Black (Lost)
The entity referred to most frequently as The Man in Black (referred to as The Smoke Monster by the main characters) is a fictional character and the main antagonist on the American ABC television series Lost. He appeared primarily as a cloud of black smoke ("The Smoke Monster") until the final episode of season five, where he appeared as a middle-aged man dressed in black. In season six, he primarily appeared in the physical form of John Locke. He exhibited the ability to "scan" the minds and memories of others, allowing him to confront characters such as Mr. Eko and Ben, with "judgment" (a replay of their pasts), and to assume the forms and memories of the deceased, starting with the original Man in Black himself, being Jacob's brother, or Christian, Alex, and Locke. According to Jacob, who explains this to Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), it is the incarnation of evil, and its primary goal—to escape from the island—would be the "end of everything good".
Various other characters have implied that his escape would be catastrophic and could even cause the destruction of reality. A longtime resident of the island that serves as the main setting of Lost, the true nature of the Man in Black was long shrouded in mystery. It had been described by Lost producer Damon Lindelof as "one of the biggest secrets" of the mythology, and the producers have often hinted that the black cloud of smoke was not a monster in the traditional sense.TV Guide included him in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.
Man in Black (album)
Man in Black is the 38th overall album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1971. Many of the songs on the album contain political references, either broad or specific, while the title song refers both to Cash's tendency to wear black at live shows and to the tumultuous times in which the song was created, implying the Vietnam War. The album's name also eventually became Cash's informal nickname, given to him by the public. Two tracks—"Man in Black" and "Singin' in Vietnam Talkin' Blues"—were released as singles, the former becoming very successful and peaking at No. 3 on the Country charts; the first track features Billy Graham.

It all ends in lots of blood without any obvious reason. At the end of the day it's all about as politically incorrect as possible. Sort of.

Plot: In Manila, a solitary man from a far-away province lives in poverty. The only thing he has is a camera, and he stays at churches hoping people will hire him to take their photographs. During one day, he has three encounters that change his life: the first, with a smooth-talking young man who's standing by the church door who berates him for wasting his life in church, the second with a boy who offers to take his picture, and the third with a Mercedes-driving man who's been stuck in traffic and has no patience left. Is there any deliverance from the soullessness of the city?

The Man in Black: You're a thief, you're a thief because you steal people's smiles, people's laughter. You steal their souls!::The Photographer: But they like that, they like to have memories.
Man In Black
Babe I know ya sold your soul hanging on the edge of rock n' roll
And all you ever wanted was to find your way home
So when you look into my eyes does it really come as a surprise
That you now know that you are not alone
Chorus
Cause you can't stand to stare into the sun
Cause I am your only one
And the fun has just begun
Step up or you will have to stand in line
If you forfeit your time with me oh baby
Babe I know ya sold your soul
And I hope you get it back from so and so
But I am afraid he wants me to take your place
Cause I have been to the other side
And I barely made it out alive
I'd kill for you but stay out of my way
You be my man in black
I 'll be your angel in white
With your hand full of shadows
And my fists full of light
Bridge
You grab your guns
I'll grab the sun
And we'll both take them out one by one
And I won't stop kissing you until were done
Chorus
Bridge
