Eye (Centaur Publications)

The character had no origin story, and existed only as a giant, floating, disembodied eye, wreathed in a halo of golden light.

[3] The Eye had the ability to fly, appear and disappear, melt solid steel and bring invisible forces to bear, but had to work with human agents to fight crime.

"[5] Don Markstein writes: The Eye missed being properly referred to as simply a flying eyeball by never quite being seen floating freely, or shown from behind.

[7] In 1987, Michael T. Gilbert included one of the original Centaur Publications Eye stories in the first issue his two-part anthology comic, Mr. Monster's Hi-Shock Schlock.

Herat orders two of his subordinates to assassinate Mattes in New York City and to bring his daughter back to him so that he can marry her.

The Eye destroys their plane before they reach America, then returns to Mattes and orders him to write a letter back to Herat stating that the job was completed.

[9] The Eye next appears after an old man is murdered by a hitman called "Monk" and the blame is placed on a driver who first arrived on the scene.

Monk was hired by the old man's niece, Lucille Hodson, as part of a plan to make herself sole heiress of his fortune.

The Eye frees the driver from his prison cell by melting the bars and tells him to inform Hodson that he works for Monk, who is confessing to the police.

Monk tries to escape, but The Eye telepathically lifts his car and places it on top of a telephone pole, allowing the police to apprehend him.

[10] In the fictional Republic of Othsania, a group of arms dealers led by the one-eyed Ganza are digging a tunnel to the American consulate, intending to bomb it and blame the opposing side, prolonging the war.

[11] Manuel Rossoff has been ordered to appear before "The Committee Investigating Un-American Activities", but he plans to bomb the room holding evidence against him.

[12] A group of immigrants illegally enter the country by way of plane smuggling, but one of them is caught by a racist old man and his daughter.

After the match, The Eye appears before the coach, scaring him and causing him to fall, breaking the vial and knocking out everyone in the locker room.

The Eye then makes Danny and Clipper fall asleep, allowing Maizie to inform the guards about their plan.

[15] Attorney at law Jack Barrister is investigating a local gangster called Rigonie that has been performing robberies.

Jack heads over to the house of his partner, Chick, and the two plan to show up at one of their robberies with some friends in the police force to rescue Fay.
