Read OnlineLeo Saint-Clair, alias the Nyctalope, was created in 1911 by Jean de La Hire, one of France's most prolific serial writers. Gifted with night vision, hypnotic powers and an artificial heart, Saint-Clair is a fearless hero who battles colorful super-villains. His adventures, which spanned 30 years, created a template that was later adopted by such pulp heroes as Doc Savage (1933), before providing the core mythology of American comic books. In the first part of The Nyctalope vs Lucifer trilogy (1921), the Nyctalope faces Baron Glô von Warteck, a.k.a. Lucifer, who uses his evil mind powers to blackmail the leaders of the Europe and plots to rule the world from his castle of Schwarzrock in the Black Forest. Just as Captain America, is the incarnation of the Stars and Stripes, the Nyctalope, stood for the ideals of Colonial France between two world wars. Jean-Marc Lofficier.
