The Black Box, also known as a digital dungeon or treasure chest, was a data storage device developed by Japanese industrialist, Saga Genji. It appeared in Dynamite Entertainment's James Bond comic arc, Black Box, which ran between 1st March and 2nd August 2017.
History[]
- "A black box on an airplane records the final moments of pain and panic before the flight goes down. I'm about to release information to Taiwan about a Chinese colonel who sleeps with male prostitutes ... Can you hear the passengers screaming? The whole world is about to destabilize, crash."
- ― Saga Genji.
During the mid-2010s, in a bid to destabilise international relations and raise Japan to the status of a superpower, Saga Genji targeted high-ranking global government and military officials in a series of massive data breaches; storing the resulting wealth of incriminating data on a cube-shaped data storage device at his base of operations beneath the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Genji planned to selectively release the data to competing nations. At the same time, the world's intelligence agencies scrambled in a bid to acquire all the data for themselves. Ultimately, James Bond killed Genji and took the cube — only to be ambushed by his CIA friend (and now competitor), Felix Leiter. Before they could leave with the device Bond remotely wiped its memory using the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) feature on his wristwatch.
