Fantômas

Fantômas is a fictional character created by French writers Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre. Allain continued the series after Souvestre died in 1914. The popular depiction of Fantômas as wearing a blue mask, black gloves, and using technological devices did not originate in the novels, but is a result of the popularity of the trilogy of Fantômas movies directed by André Hunebelle in the 1960s.
