Publication History
Monsieur Stigmonus first appeared in the pages of the The Spectre, during a three-part story entitled "The Redeemer", which featured Hal Jordan in the role of the Spirit of Vengeance, a role he was coming to terms with. Under the influence of writer J.M. DeMatteis, Jordan was questioning the need for vengeance from an all-loving God and eventually became more a Spirit of Redemption. However, he needed a foil to counter this developing belief structure and Stigmonus became said archnemesis. Ryan Sook provided the look of Stigmonus, a pale white humanoid with a black goatee, yin/yang encased on his forehead, and dressed in the high fashion of the 18th century.
