Master Monarch (Spider-Man character) (original) (raw)
History: Nothing is known about Master Monarch except that he has an undisclosed connection to a person called the Agitator, who requested his "aid with the bigger picture," whatever this might mean.
(PPSM#16) Master Monarch, accompanied by two of the Agitator's operatives, came upon a fight between Spider-Man and the Wicked Brigade, who were pursuing a bounty which had been placed on Spider-Man; Master Monarch, evidently having been instructed by the Agitator to incapacitate the Wicked Brigade, ended the fight with one energy blast, rendering the three members of the Wicked Brigade unconscious, although Spider-Man avoided injury. Uninclined to kill the Wicked Brigade and having no interest in Spider-Man, Master Monarch departed the scene, along with the two operatives; Spider-Man, who had avoided the brunt of the blast, headed to the Daily Bugle in hopes of obtaining information about these new villains, only to be distracted by subsequent trouble.
Comments: Created by Howard Mackie, A.A. Ward, John Romita, Jr., and Scott Hanna.
Judging by the color scheme of his outfit, I can't help wondering if he might be an older model of Doombot. Discarded by the not-so-good doctor, himself. And, then, reprogrammed and upgraded by whoever found him/it.
