Monocle is a DC Comics supervillain and a recurring foe to Hawkman. He first appeared in ''Flash Comics'' #64 (April-May 1945): "The Man with the Magic Monocles". ==Fictional character biography== Jonathan Cheval is an honest businessman in the field of optics; however due to the scheming of a criminal he loses his business. Determined to get revenge on the people that cheated him, Cheval invents a number of monocles that can emit beams of energy. He is eventually captured by the Golden Age Hawkman after killing two of the criminals, although the remaining one is jailed with him. Decades later, after being released from prison, he is invited by the Ultra-Humanite to join his Secret Society of Super Villains which battles Hawkman along with the rest of the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America. He along with his colleagues are defeated and banished into an interdimensional limbo until the Ultra from 1942 contacts his future counterpart, enlisting the aid of all criminals then present in limbo. Monocle briefly resides once more in 1942 until he and his allies are defeated once again, this time at the hands of the All-Star Squadron. Monocle joins up with a new version of the Secret society in ''JLA-80 Page Giant'' #1 (1998), but judging from the story's end, this entire adventure is a tall tale told between two other supervillains; Sonar II and the Rainbow Raider. Monocle appears with Merlyn and other various villains and ex-Suicide Squad members in the mini-series ''Identity Crisis'' (2004). Though his appearance in ''Identity Crisis'' sets him up for the big time, he is killed by the most recent Manhunter (Kate Spencer) in ''Manhunter'' # 9 (June 2005). In ''Blackest Night'' #1, it is revealed that Monocle's remains were gathered by the Justice League along with the remains of several other deceased super-villains after Nightwing found out about a rash of graverobbings. In ''The New 52'' (a reboot of the DC Comics universe), Monocle was seen in the ''Forever Evil'' storyline where he thinks that the Crime Syndicate of America is actually the Justice League in disguise where they are tricking the villains. Monocle ends up killed by Ultraman's heat vision.〔''Forever Evil'' #1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monocle (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
