After months of training, Black Gorlock sought to test his new skills in the Arena of the Misfits, an underground fighting pit where the city's outcasts could prove their worth. His first opponent was "The Electric Eel," a wiry, agile fighter who could conduct electricity through his body. The fight was a spectacle, the crowd roaring as Boris, now more agile than before, used his weight to ground his opponent, effectively neutralizing his electric attacks.
His top hat became a part of his strategy, its brim used to deflect light, blinding his opponent momentarily. Each victory in the Arena was a lesson, a step closer to mastering his body. His reputation grew, whispers of "Black Gorlock" echoing through the dark corners of Neon City, his name now synonymous with resilience and power.
