Nikos Aegeus is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. The character is a minor supervillain who has primarily fought Wonder Woman. ==Fictional character biography== Nikos Aegeus is the wanted leader of a Greek terrorist cell. After executing an ambassador, he and his gang escaped to an uncharted island in the Aegean Sea (eventually revealed to be Paradise Island, home of the Amazons) where Aegeus encountered Bellerophon, the blind adventurer of ancient times. Bellerophon endowed Aegeus with the lightning of Zeus and provided him the winged horse, Pegasus, as his steed. During an Air Force training exercise, Aegeus kidnapped Steve Trevor in order to learn the location of Paradise Island so Bellerophon could use the Amazons' Purple Healing Ray to restore his sight and conquer them. Aegeus located Paradise Island within the Bermuda Triangle but was beaten in battle by Wonder Woman and betrayed by his ally, Sofia Constantinas. He then escaped to parts unknown.〔''Wonder Woman'' #297-299 (November 1982-January 1983)〕 Aegeus returned a few months later using Vulcan's dagger, an indestructible weapon, to take revenge on Colonel Trevor and Wonder Woman for humiliating him at Paradise Island. It was revealed that Aegeus had been hired by rogue US Government operative, Howard Kohler, to further Kohler's agenda of sabotaging upcoming arms talks with the Soviet Union. Aegeus was set free since his participation in a public trial would endanger the arms talks. He vowed that he'd meet Wonder Woman in battle again, but such a meeting would never occur.〔''Wonder Woman'' #306-307 (August–September 1983)〕 Aegeus was not seen during the ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' and did appear again for over a quarter of a century. Aegeus returned in 2010's ''Wonder Woman'' #600 as a terrorist who attempts to hold Washington D.C. hostage, only to be defeated by Diana and Superman. He's returning to the Post-Convergence DC Universe in 2015 (hinted in ''Wonder Woman'' #41, August 2015), with a new motivation but keeping the winged horse and bow traditional to him.〔http://www.newsarama.com/24852-wonder-womwn-writer-on-donna-s-redemption-dumping-bathing-suit-costume.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aegeus (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
