Monk was an ape-man from the "lost world" in the Amazon jungle who was used by Dr. Krud for his crimes. He was an enemy of Quicksilver.
History
Monk was taken from the lost world in the Amazon jungle by Dr. Krud and taken to America to help him with his crimes. Monk attempted a kidnapping with Dr. Krud but it went wrong and Krud was sent to prison, while Monk was kept chained up in a cellar being fed black market beef. Once Dr. Krud escaped prison he planned the kidnapping of Connie Carlyle with Monk in the cellar. Monk walked through Oakwood Park to interrupt Carlyle's masquerade gala, being spotted by Quicksilver. Quicksilver interrupted Monk and they fought, with Quicksilver being knocked unconscious after being thrown against a log. Monk stormed into the gala and grabbed Carlyle. Carlyle fainted and Monk walked out carrying her in his arms, the partygoers laughing at a seemingly innocent gag. As Monk was carrying Carlyle through Oakwood Park he was once again spotted by a recovering Quicksilver and got into another fight. Carlyle used the prop sword in her gala costume to stab Monk in the back, allowing Quicksilver to trail Monk to his master's lair. Upon reaching the lair Monk died from his wound and Quicksilver apprehended Dr. Krud.
