A black hole is created when a star more than twice bigger than our sun collapses under its own gravity. I think the mass stays, but is 'unseen', while the gravity increases until it can bend the space around it and stop light form escaping.

everyone is right for the most part. A black hole does not need a large star in order to form. Even a dwarf star dying out can and will creat a black hole. Even a small black hole, say the size of a quarter, has the ability to pull something the size of our sun into it. Nothing can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole once that object crosses the holes event horizon.
Black holes are formed when a star uses up all its' nuclear resources. As the star uses up these resources the star begins to shrink. It will eventually reach a critical point in whic the star can no longer sustain it's own gravity and will calapse in on itself. This implosion creates antimatter and enough heat to explode this antimatter, ripping a "hole" in space itself. Possibly an escape from our own dimise and to escape the imminent destruction of our own planet.

A black hole is an object predicted by general relativity with a gravitational field so strong that nothing can escape it — not even light.

the forces neccesary to to create a large mass of electron stripped atoms i.e. with-out the space between nuclei or a "black hole is the collapse of a galaxy . the collapse of a star even one a hundred times the size of our star like betelgeuse the largest- star in our area. would only create an emmission nebula

It is the remnants of a immensely dense, dead star. The gravitational pull from within the black hole is so strong that even light cannot escape it.

Hi. An object with intense gravity that has an escape velocity equal to light speed.
