Zyklon (comics)

Der Zyklon is a fictional villain created by DC Comics. He was created by Roy Thomas and first appeared in All Star Squadron #45.

History

Zyklon was given the power to move at super-human speeds by scientists of the Third Reich. His first mission was to aid his fellow Operative Baron Blitzkrieg, in stealing the Liberty Bell. They were opposed by Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, (Then Members of the All-Star Squadron) as well as the Liberty Bell's Night guard Tom Revere. Blitzkrieg proceeded to Hurl Tom Towards a wall. Johnny Quick attempted to catch him but was stopped by Zyklon. Tom Died, And Liberty Belle Swore Revenge on Zyklon. The two Nazis then fled with the bell. The Baron wanted the bell, because it contained strange energies. He intended to destroy Philadalphia, however his plans were disrupted by Johnny Quick, Liberty Belle, Hawkgirl and the Golden Age Flash. It should be noted that while the heroes destroyed his machine, Liberty Belle was struck by a beam of lightning which endowed her with her Sonic Pulse Power. The villains then fled.

Zyklon's current whereabouts are unknown.
