Rock (sometimes spelled Roc) is a young boy with shiny dark hair. He first appeared in the manga series ''Detective Boy Rock Holmes'', as a child Detective . (His name was then based on Sherlock Holmes ). While most of other Tezuka child characters (such as Kenichi ) stayed the same age, Rock grew up throughout the years and his character was reused for more mature "roles" in Tezuka's mangas, where he got a gradually dark personality; often being cold and brutal, his character tends be used as an antagonist. In this older form, Rock is often wearing a three-piece suit, a striped tie and dark Sunglasses , the latter which became a bit of his Trademark . Rock was most recently seen in the animated version of Tezuka's Metropolis (the manga for which he did not appear in) and in the recent '' Astro Boy '' series (as the secret identity of villain Deadcross ). A character named Rock (but of a different appearance and personality) also appeared in the 1980 animated '' Phoenix 2772 ''. Rock's Japanese full name is based on MacBeth for Makube and Kuro ("dark" in japanese) for Rokuro (mixed with "Rock"). EXTERNAL LINKS
