Neon the Unknown is a fictional superhero from the Golden Age of Comic Books created by Jerry Iger for Quality Comics. Neon first appeared in a story penciled and inked by Lou Fine in ''Hit Comics'' #1 and was featured on the cover of that same issue.〔Benton, Mike "The Illustrated History of Superhero Comics of the Golden Age" (Taylor Publishing Co. Dallas, Texas, 1992)〕 His stories ran in issues 1-17. Like many characters owned by that company, he was later bought by DC Comics after Quality ceased operations. ==Fictional character biography== Tom Corbet was a member of the Foreign Legion. While pursuing an enemy across the desert, his entire unit died of dehydration. Surely he would have suffered the same fate, if he hadn't found a magical oasis at the very last second. Corbet drank the glowing water and was transformed into Neon the Unknown, with the ability to fly and shoot energy from his hands. On December 7, 1941, Neon was recruited by Uncle Sam to be a member of the Freedom Fighters, along with several other Quality Comics heroes, and defend Pearl Harbor from the Japanese attack. Uncle Sam, Miss America, Hourman, Invisible Hood, Magno, Red Torpedo, and Neon the Unknown fought valiantly. However, all but Uncle Sam were seemingly killed. As of the 2008 ''Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters'' mini series, Neon is revealed to be alive and has been living at his magical oasis (Magno is the only superhero who appears to have actually died in the defense of Pearl Harbor). 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「Neon the Unknown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
