Blake Klien (presumably born June 02, 1982) is a leading European investor, businessman, and philanthropist. He is considered one of the most "influential and secretive" investors in the modern world, the primary shareholder of Klien Finances, and in 2005 (before his severe stroke and coma) was ranked by Forbes as the 65th richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $5.6 billion.

Klien is surrounded in controversy over his possible ties to a supervillain. Many claim that the two are the same. Investigations into the death of Superior and the strikingly coincidental moment of Klien's stroke and coma along with the reappearance of both has many world governments questioning.

Klien is also a notable philanthropist, having pledged nearly 50% of his fortune to an unnamed charity.

Before 2000, Klien was an unknown figure until he gained his fortune in acquiring Crown Holdings, a formerly run mob-bank. In 2005, Klien was listed among the Hero Games 100 Most Influential People in the world for his contributions into research for meta-humans.
