Bring on the Bad Guys: The Monocle

Real name: Unrevealed 

First appearance: All-Flash Quarterly#1 (Summer 1941)

Abilities: Thief 

Worst act: Theft, attempted murder, kidnapping 

Created by: Gardner Fox (script) and Evert E. Hibbard (art)  

Sadly not related to the Hawkman foe. Again, just another typical gangster. This time the Monocle hits a fashion show where Joan Williams is working (guess she quit being a reporter?) The Flash somehow loses the gang when they split but he finds their hideout when the Monocle issues a challenge. 

Of course it's a trap and the Flash gets captured. He escapes but the Monocle counters by kidnapping Joan. The Monocle tries to flee via plane but the Flash snags him and busts up the gang and rescues Joan. 

Aside from the name, a pretty boring character.
