this has most likely been picked up on before and well behind the times but something dawned on me while reading the newest books
[spoiler]what is monarch is actually ray palmer, just all this talk of ray being lost in the multiverse hunting for an army to prevent a hugh crisis, where as monarch is doing the same [/spoiler]
again i could be talking about my backside but i wouldnt put it past dc with who monarch was orginall meant to be and most artists have drawn him with skin and human eyes also
[spoiler]in the new issue of arena when the nazi ray escapes monarch is shown in the back with dark hair and human skin
though on other hand monarch mentions a containment when fighting the gl batman but that could just be a red herring or be a mention of his armour[/spoiler]
I thought it was supposed to be Captain Atom.
he was back during zero hour, but his identity hasn't been confirmed yet
