Argus is a fictional superhero published by DC Comics. He first appeared during the Bloodlines crossover event in Flash Annual v2, #6 (1993), and was created by Mark Waid and Phil Hester.
[edit] Character Biography
Whilst investigating one of Keystone City's criminal organisations using the alias "Nick Kovac", federal agent Nick Kelly was attacked by a Bloodlines Parasite named Venev. Kelly gained the ability to become totally invisible in shadow and to see far beyond the normal spectrum in microwaves and infrared.
He later worked alongside both the the Flash, and the Blood Pack.
In JSA Classified #19 (January 2007), Argus was revealed to be a patient in a S.T.A.R. Labs facility, left blind and powerless after having his eyes removed. The culprit was initially identified by Doctor Mid-Nite as a resurfaced Ultra-Humanite, but it later turned out to be have been done at the behest of the long-thought-dead actress Delores Winters now calling herself Endless Winter. Part two of "Skin Trade" (JSA Classified #20) had Doctor Mid-Nite retrieving Argus' eyes and the wounded hero awaiting re-attachment surgery.
[edit] Powers and abilities
- Invisibility in shadows, which can be dispelled by a strong enough light source.
- He can see beyond the visible light spectrum into the infrared and ultraviolet.
- Enhanced strength and reflexes.
- Slight healing factor: he was able to regrow his eyes when they were gouged out, and when they were reimplanted into him (the second time he lost them) the recovery time was sped-up.
