The Man In Black (Walter Padick / Walter O'Dim) Fun Facts

A fun, slightly obscure thing: the Man in Black (Walter Padick/Walter O’Dim) is just one incarnation of Stephen King’s recurring villain Randall Flagg — meaning the same antagonist shows up as a charming court magician in The Eyes of the Dragon, as the Walkin’ Dude cult-leader in The Stand, and as the Man in Black in The Dark Tower. In King’s multiverse, that single figure can play both royal adviser and apocalyptic demagogue, which is a neat and eerie bit of continuity fans sometimes miss.
