Professor Emil Hamilton is a fictional character in DC Comics' ''Superman'' titles. He was created by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway. He is generally portrayed as a stereotypical absent-minded professor, with a gray beard and thick glasses and, at times, a "Mr. Wizard" type character. However, recent versions of the character have been more villainous as he begins to see Superman as a potential threat to the world. The character was named after Edmond Hamilton, who wrote stories about Superman and other characters from the 1940s to the 1960s.〔http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Emil_Hamilton〕 ==Fictional character biography== He first appeared in ''Adventures of Superman'' #424, as an apparent villain, using his gadgets to attack Superman in an attempt to gain funding by proving that they worked. A former employee of S.T.A.R. Labs and the US Government, it transpired he had been driven insane when all his research was bought up by Lex Luthor, who took credit for the inventions. He was placed in a mental health facility and responded well to treatment. On his release, he set up a laboratory in Suicide Slum and quickly became Superman's "scientific advisor", eking out a general living as a technical consultant. He was responsible for creating many devices that aided Superman, including the Phantom Zone Projector and early Superman Robots, as well as helping Superman during such problems as the 'Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite', when Red Kryptonite created by Mister Mxyzptlk shut down Superman's powers; until Superman's powers were restored, Hamilton provided him with various machinery such as a force field belt and an armoured suit to allow him to continue as a hero. Later, another force field belt Emil provides allows Superman to get around the power-blocking talents of the artificial life forms 'Psi-Phon' and 'Dreadnaught'.〔''Adventures of Superman'' #442 (July 1988)〕 Emil's first time turning evil is when the immortal 'Mister Z' brainwashes him into assisting in an attack on Superman.〔''Adventures of Superman'' #404 (November 1994)〕 Later, Superman is fighting the alien monster Doomsday. Working with Bibbo, another ally of the Man of Steel, Emil sets up a powerful laser and scores a direct strike on the monster. It does little to stop it.〔''Superman: The Man of Steel'' #19 (January 1993)〕 The two combatants seemingly fall dead and Emil creates a CPR unit for the hero. Bibbo is injured while using it and Hamilton takes over. Their efforts fail and Superman is declared dead.〔''Adventures of Superman'' #498 (January 1993)〕 This failure causes feelings of intense guilt that not even Hamilton's long-term female friend Mildred Krantz can help him overcome.〔''Superman: The Man of Steel'' #20 (February 1993)〕 After the hero's return, Emil helps in the investigation of a Superman 'corpse duplicate'.〔''Superman'' (vol. 2) #95 (December 1994)〕 He lost an arm during the ''Fall of Metropolis'' storyline, but replaced it with a self-designed cybernetic prosthesis. He also provided Superboy with the visor that duplicated Superman's vision powers (x-ray and heat vision). This helps Superboy get a start on a heroic career in Hawaii. Hamilton would also enjoy time in that state as well.〔''Superboy'' (vol. 4) #1-3 (February–April 1994)〕 He spends time with Superman, assisting him in restoring in Fortress of Solitude and saving the lives of the citizens of the Bottle City of Kandor.〔''Superman'' (vol. 2) #117 (November 1996)〕 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「Professor Hamilton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
