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".
[edit] Character History
The man who would become Monocle was an honest businessman in the field of optics, however due to the scheming of a criminal he lost his business. Out of revenge, he sought out those who ruined his life, until eventually captured by the Hawkman.
Decades later, after being released from prison, he was invited by the Ultra-Humanite to join his Secret Society of Super Villains which battled Hawkman along with the rest of the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America. He along with his colleagues were defeated and banished into an interdimensional limbo until the Ultra from 1942 contacted his future counterpart, enlisting the aid of all criminals then present in limbo. Monocle briefly resided once more in 1942 until he and his allies were defeated once again, this time at the hands of the All-Star Squadron.
Monocle was also seen hanging out with Merlyn and other various villains and ex-Suicide Squad members in mini-series Identity Crisis (2004).
Though his appearance in Identity Crisis set him up for the big time, he was killed by the most recent Manhunter (Kate Spencer) in Manhunter # 9 (June 2005).
[edit] Other media
In Justice League Unlimited, Monocle appears as one of the latest recruits to the Legion of Doom.
