The Black Major (published name John Shepherd〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Black Major )〕 (name changed to protect his family 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Black Major )〕 ) is a fictional character from the Action Force series depicted in the ''Battle Action Force'' comic books and Palitoy action figures as a European version of G.I. Joe. In West Germany, he was known as the Schwarzer Major.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Schwarzer Major )〕 ==Characterisation== The Black Major was depicted in the ''Battle Action Force'' comic book series as a member of the Red Shadows and second-in-command to Baron Ironblood. Limited information is given in to his background on the file cards that accompanied the action figure although it is variously believed that he was either a traitor from Action Force (as a former British Special Boat Service marine commando) or was otherwise a captive of Baron Ironblood, subsequently brainwashed into: ''a dedicated and ruthless follower. Brilliant military commander and tactician. Totally emotionless. The Black Major carries out Baron Ironblood's orders without question.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Major figure at Leicestershire City Council Museum's toy collection )〕 His primary military specialty is stated as ''Combat Control'' though all other information is classed as ''Classified''.〔 However, his real name is referred to a number of times in his extensive back story. Court martialled ''in absentia'' by his former Royal Marine unit and disowned by his family following his treachery,〔 his name is derived from the Spanish phrase ''el comandante negro'', which was shouted at him by Andean soldiers in his first engagement for the Red Shadows.〔 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「The Black Major」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
