Biography

Monako

In 1940, his first known adventure that occurred in America happened when Monako saw a speeding car barreling towards a young girl. Monako used his magical powers to pull her to safety when he realized that the woman was his friend, Josie. He also saw his old foe Mr. Muro in the speeding car. Josie revealed that her brother Al had perfected a new type of explosive for the government and Muro was seeking to steal the formula. Al had already committed the formula to memory and destroyed all of his notes, prompting Muro to kidnap him and bring him back to his hideout. Monako discovered Muro's hideout by following them in his astral form and soon made his way back to the location in his corporeal body. He was soon captured, however, and placed on a torture device alongside Al, whom Muro hoped would be intimidated into revealing his secret formula. Monako managed to free them both using his magic and they escaped. While searching for Muro, they discovered that he had captured Josie, leaving her tied up in a his boat with a bomb. Monako set a trap to fool his old nemesis, leaving a can of the secret powder for Muro to find. Muro did indeed fall for the trick and Monako saved Josie before the bomb exploded, but Muro himself managed to escape. (Daring Mystery Comics v1 #1)

Monako next encountered Muro when he again had to save his friend Josie from his schemes. This time Muro has acquired secret documents detailing the locations of several secret fortifications near the Panama Canal. Muro planned to take over the fortifications, thereby gaining control over the Canal itself. Monako chased Muro's plane in one of his own and used his magic to force Muro to land. When Monako attempted to give chase, however, he is captured by Muro's men and left to die in the desert. Muro also took Josie as a hostage in case Monako got free. Monako, however, did escape and increased himself to giant-size, grabbing Muro's plane and rescuing Josie. Before he was able to take Muro into custody though, Muro used his black magic to teleport away, again eluding capture. (Daring Mystery Comics v1 #4)
