===== DMC File No: 0084 =====

**Subject Name:** Samson Knight  

**Alias(es):** Dr. Knight 

**Affiliation:** Pre-DMC Research & Development, [[United States | United States Government]] (Historical)  

**First Recorded Appearance:** Circa 1930s
  
**Power Tier Classification:** Class D (Technical Genius)

===== Abilities Summary =====

==== Intellectual Mastery ==== 

Samson Knight's genius-level intellect is renowned. His work in diverse scientific fields has led to groundbreaking technological advancements.

==== Inventor ==== 

Knight developed the super-soldier serum that powered [[Justin Case]] and [[skcf | multiple containment devices to restrain metahumans]].

==== Time Travel Expertise ==== 

Knight claims the machine that was taken into custody with him is a prototype time machine of his own design, further emphasizing his advanced understanding of theoretical and applied physics. According to Knight, time travel has somehow become impossible after his jump to our time.

===== Origin =====

Dr. Samson Knight was a leading scientific mind in the mid-20th century, collaborating with the US Government on multiple top-secret projects. While his death in the 1970s from a brain aneurysm was well-documented, the recent discovery of an individual identical to Knight from the '40s has raised numerous questions.

===== History of Activity =====

Knight's contributions to the scientific community were unprecedented, from the creation of the super-soldier serum that enhanced Justin Case to containment tech for metahumans. The recent individual, claiming to be Knight, has stated his intention was to witness a future where atomic bombs shaped the world.

===== Psychological Profile =====

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a profound sense of responsibility, Knight is analytical, focused, and often introspective. His recent detainment and isolation may lead to heightened stress, paranoia, and distrust, especially given his inability to verify the outcomes of his temporal explorations.

===== Criminal Record =====

Prior to his documented death, Samson Knight had no criminal record. The recent individual, detained by the [[DMC]], has not yet been proven guilty of any crime, although unauthorized time travel and the risks associated with it may warrant internal charges.

===== DMC Status =====

The original Samson Knight predates the [[Metahuman Registration Act]] of 1984. The individual currently in DMC custody, believed to be Knight from an earlier time, is held confidentially. Disclosure of his existence is restricted, especially from entities like [[Cowl | the Cowl]].

===== Threat Level =====

**Moderate** - While Samson Knight himself does not possess any inherent metahuman abilities, his vast knowledge, combined with the potential implications and risks of time travel, warrants caution.

===== Contingency Protocol =====

DMC's approach involves strict containment and controlled interrogation to understand the full extent of Knight's temporal explorations and the potential ramifications thereof. Collaboration with the Arcane Division is underway to understand the potential overlap of magic and time travel. External consultants with expertise in theoretical physics have been engaged under non-disclosure agreements to assess the veracity of Knight's claims and the functionality of his time machine.

===== NOTE ===== 

The utmost discretion is required when dealing with this subject. Any unauthorized leak of information regarding Samson Knight's reappearance may lead to unforeseen complications, both temporally and diplomatically.
