:''For persons affected by night blindness, see Nyctalopia.'' The Nyctalope is the name of a lesser-known fictional superhero who appears in a book series of novels written by French writer Jean de La Hire, a prolific author of popular adventure series, many of which include science fiction elements. First appearing in 1911, he is the first superhero of the genre, followed by the Japanese Ogon Bat, Superman and Doc Savage in the 1930s, and Batman in 1939. The Nyctalope possessed enhanced night vision, special color-shifting irises, and an artificial heart. "Nyctalopics" is a term that describes the process of cybernetic adaptation. Also there is a reference in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne; Chapter 5: "Day and night they watched the surface of the ocean, and even nyctalopes, whose faculty of seeing in the darkness multiplies their chances a hundredfold, would have had enough to do to gain the prize." == Other appearances == The Nyctalope has appeared in several short stories published in the anthology ''Tales of the Shadowmen'' and two collections of new stories written by other writers, ''The Nyctalope Steps In'' (2011) and '' Night of the Nyctalope'' (2012). The Nyctalope is one of the main characters in Serge Lehman's ''Chimera Brigade'' comic book (2009-2010),〔First volume of this six-issue comic book is planned to be published in English by Titan Books in 2014.〕 set just before World War II. He is also mentioned in volumes 2 and 3 of the graphic novel ''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' by Alan Moore. 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「Nyctalope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
