Origin[]
Black Patch is the displaced leader of his band of space pirates headquartered in the "sea of liquid air" in Galaxy 9. They pilot the Space Scallion with his crew and often devise plans to capture Colonel Bleep. This mainly insists on kidnapping others and turning them into slaves or victims of death. When Bleep and his deputies come by, the plans, of course, end in failure.
It wasn't long before Black Patch joined forces with Bruto, the Black Robot, and The Black Knight of Pluto. Together, they form the Black Trio, plotting to overpower Colonel Bleep, Squeak, and Scratch and trying to conquer the entire universe.
Powers and Abilities[]
As for most leading villains, Black Patch has no unique superpowers. He usually carries numerous weapons, such as a giant cannon, cutlass, and vacuum. He also pilots the Space Scallion as his spacecraft.

Notes[]
- Black Patch closely resembles Captain Skyhook from Hanna-Barbera's series, The Space Kidettes.
- Both are villainous space pirates who rival a team of heroic characters, with Black Patch targeting Colonel Bleep and his deputies and Skyhook getting after the Space Kidettes.
- Both pilot a spaceship and have at least one minion.
- Unlike Skyhook, who is more sympathetic to children, Black Patch is much more hostile to children like Squeak.
