He first appears in the 1-minute web videos where he would advertise his weapons for villains to buy.
Black Hat makes his first official appearance in the series in the pilot episode "The Dreadful Dawn". In the episode, he is contacted by a villainess named Penumbra to deal with a superhero named Sunblast from Atreno City, who has a long history of foiling her plans to obstruct the sun, due to her skin having a condition burning her every time she goes directly under the sun. After being contacted, Black Hat sends Flug, Demencia, and 5.0.5. to deal with Sunblast.
Later on, after the trio is defeated by Sunblast, they find out Sunblast is heading back to the manor to confront Penumbra. When they attempt to fly back, Black Hat contacts Flug and, noticing the trio heading back, asks if he had completed his task of defeating Sunblast. Flug, out of fear, lies by stating that they have defeated Sunblast and will even present him defeated at the manor, much to Black Hat and Penumbra's delight.
Later, after the trio shrinks Sunblast and defeats him, Black Hat then appears with Penumbra, having witnessed the event. Later in his office, Penumbra thanks him for his service and, as a way of payment, Black Hat has Penumbra sign a soul contract to him and then tells Penumbra to leave.
After doing so, he calls the trio's performance "mediocre", much to Flug's dissatisfaction, and proceeds to angrily berate the trio for bringing a hero to his manor, while at the same time turning into a giant monster.
