Hector Hall

Hector Sanders Hall (also known as Hektor Hol) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway, he made his first appearance in All-Star Squadron #25 (September, 1983). While having adopted various codenames, the character is frequently associated with Hawkman-related characters.

Hector Hall is the son of Carter and Shiera Hall, the Golden Age heroes known as Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Carter and Shiera were reincarnations of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and his wife, both of whom had been killed and cursed by their rival Hath-Set. Unbeknownst to either of them, however, Hath-Set's curse also concerned the two's children. The curse of Seketh, the ancient Egyptian god of death, prophesied the combination of the Silver Scarab and the Eye of Ra, which would mean the end of the world. Hector is born without a soul and destined to be a vessel for the Silver Scarab, an agent of vengeance called forth by Hath-Set.

Feeling neglected by his parents, Hector constructs a suit out of the Nth Metal that granted his parents the power of flight, while also adding some solar improvements. Hector enrolls at UCLA and reunites with his childhood friend, Lyta Trevor. The two quickly fall in love and decide to apply for membership in the Justice Society of America. However, they, Atom Smasher, and Northwind are rejected due to their age and inexperience. Alongside Jade, Obsidian, Brainwave, Star-Spangled Kid, Power Girl, and Huntress, the heroes found a new group called Infinity, Inc.

After battling their parents and mentors (who were under the influence of Koehaha, the River of Evil), the team publicly reveals their secret identities and Hector announces his engagement to Lyta. They have little time to enjoy their happiness as the entity that had been within Hector since his birth came forth, thanks to the manipulation of Hath-Set. The reincarnated Silver Scarab battles Infinity, Inc. alongside Hath-Set and summons the Eye of Ra. The heroes manage to defeat Silver Scarab, but at the cost of Hector's life.

Hector's consciousness is cast into the Dreaming, where he is discovered by Brute and Glob, former servants of Dream who manipulate him into adopting the identity of Sandman. Some time later, Dream escapes captivity, returns Hector to the realm of the dead, and claims Hector's unborn son Daniel, who is destined to become the next Lord of Dreams.

Hector Hall later undergoes a reincarnation cycle that enables him to return to life. Shortly after his birth, Mordru accelerates Hector's aging process to adulthood, intending to usurp his power as Doctor Fate. On a later adventure in Kahndaq, Hector and Nabu clash as the latter argues the legitimacy of Black Adam's current agenda and accuses him of blindly following his father. Nabu later takes control of Hector and imprisons his spirit in the Amulet of Anubis. Within the Amulet, he is reunited with the previous incarnations of Doctor Fate: Kent Nelson, Eric Strauss, and Linda Strauss, who help him trap Nabu inside the Amulet. Lyta and Hector return to the Tower of Fate and live happily until they are trapped in Hell by the Spectre, who is on a rampage to destroy all magic. Near death, Lyta and Hector enter a portal to the Dreaming as their physical bodies die.

Following The New 52 reboot in 2011, the histories of previous Doctor Fates, including Hector Hall, were erased from continuity.

In "Infinite Frontier", Hector as the Silver Scarab appears in a portrait of the Infinity Inc. members. In a short backup story in the conclusion of the Superboy: Man of Tomorrow limited series, Changeling appears during a battle between Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and various alien creatures. He introduces himself as his son Hektor Hol, much to Hawkman's surprise.

The original Hourman, Rex Tyler, was created by writer Ken Fitch and artist Bernard Baily and first appeared in Adventure Comics #48 (March 1940), during the Golden Age of Comic Books.

Rex Tyler

Rex Tyler, raised in upstate New York, is a scientist who develops an affinity for chemistry, particularly biochemistry. After graduating college, he lands a job researching vitamins and hormone supplements at Bannermain Chemical. A series of discoveries and accidents lead him to the "miraculous vitamin" Miraclo, which gives the user superhuman strength and vitality for one hour at a time. Feeling that Miraclo should be used for good purposes, Rex uses its powers to help those in need, becoming a superhero based in Appleton City and a founding member of the Justice Society of America. It is later revealed that Miraclo is addictive and that Rex is struggling with its effects.

In Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, Hourman is killed by Extant, who causes him to age rapidly. He is resurrected after the Hourman android takes his place in the battle with Extant, enabling him to survive. Hourman retires from heroics and provides technical support for the JSA All-Stars, of whom his son Rick is a member.

Rick Tyler

Rick Tyler, Rex's son, becomes Hourman during Crisis on Infinite Earths, using some of his father's Miraclo pills to save people trapped in a burning hospital. After serving for a few years as a member of Infinity, Inc., Rick becomes addicted to Miraclo just as his father did. Amazo, posing as the android Hourman, cures him of his Miraclo addiction. Having conquered his personal demons, Rick joins the Justice Society.

Android

The Hourman android is an android from the 853rd century constructed by Tyler Chemorobotics who possesses the capability for human emotions. Rex Tyler, the original Hourman, spent some time in the future and was involved in its construction. Metron later appoints the android as his heir and entrusts him with the Worlogog, an ancient artifact containing a map of space and time.

During "DC One Million", the entity Solaris places a virus in Hourman's body that disables his time-traveling abilities, stranding Justice Legion Alpha in the past and the Justice League in the future. After overcoming the virus, Hourman creates a duplicate of Krypton and rescues its inhabitants from the past, creating the world of New Krypton in the 853rd century. Solaris' actions deeply affect Hourman, who travels to the present day and joins the Justice League. He damages the Worlogog and limits his own power to resemble his predecessors, giving him power for one hour at a time.

Hourman later joins the Justice Society of America and meets Rick Tyler, son and heir of the original Hourman. After leaving the group, Hourman gives Rick a tachyon-filled hourglass that can see the future and temporarily resurrects his father, who was killed during the Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! event.

In "The New Golden Age", the android Hourman is revealed to be the buyer who wanted to purchase the Lost Children, a group of kidnapped, time-displaced Golden Age sidekicks, from a Time Scavenger called Childminder. It is revealed that Hourman is working for an adult version of Corky Baxter called Time Master. After Hourman is reprogrammed and returns to his original self, he blasts Time Master into a time portal. Hourman brings the Lost Children to the present day, as returning them to their own times would cause a time paradox.

Hyena

The Hyena is the name of two supervillains appearing in media published by DC Comics. The first Hyena debuted in Firestorm #4 (September 1978) and was created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom. The second Hyena debuted in The Fury of Firestorm #10 (March 1983) and was created by Conway and Pat Broderick. Both are werehyenas who transform when under great emotional stress.

Summer Day

The first Hyena, Summer Day, is the sister of Doreen Day, a love interest of Firestorm. She joined the Peace Corps as a result of relational issues with her police officer father Bert and was turned into a werehyena after an accident in Africa. Taking the name Hyena, Summer returned to America and began attacking both criminals and police officers. A result of her condition is a steadily progressing madness.

Hyena is captured and remanded to a clinic owned by the Day family. While there, she meets the psychiatrist Jivan Shi and become romantically involved with him. Shi is later infected and becomes a werehyena as well. Using his transmuting powers, Firestorm creates knockout gas that he uses on both Hyenas.

During the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" storyline, Hyena was sprung from Pleasant Hollow Convalescent Home in Pleasant Hollow, New York and was recruited into an alliance of multiversal supervillains.

In Infinite Crisis, Hyena joins the Secret Society of Super Villains. Deadshot kills Hyena after a prison breakout to serve as a message to the other villains to the leaders of the Secret Society of Super Villains.

Hyena is resurrected following The New 52 relaunch, which rebooted the continuity of the DC universe. This version resembles a humanoid spotted hyena. Hyena joins Black Bison, Killer Frost, Multiplex, Plastique, and Typhoon in attacking Firestorm and Joanne Raymond after the latter is abducted by Multiplex. When Alvin Rusch and Tonya Lu find Firestorm's unconscious body, Hyena shows up to attack Rusch, only to be saved by Major Force, who helps Firestorm defeat the villains.

In Forever Evil, Hyena appears as a member of Crime Syndicate of America's incarnation of the Secret Society of Super Villains. She accompanies Black Bison, Multiplex, Plastique, and Typhoon in attacking a hospital that Golden Glider is recuperating in. This leads to them fighting the Rogues until Crime Syndicate members Power Ring and Deathstorm show up to execute the Rogues for defying them.

During the "Dark Crisis" storyline, Hyena appears as a member of King Deathstroke's Secret Society of Super Villains.

Jivan Shi

The second Hyena, Jivan Shi, is a psychiatrist whom Summer Day had fallen in love with while he was attempting to treat her werehyena condition. One night, as Day and Shi were embracing, Day transformed and infected him with the werehyena curse. As mentioned above, Firestorm used a knockout gas to knock out both Hyenas.

Hyena appeared as a member of the Injustice League in "One Year Later".

During the "Salvation Run" storyline, Hyena is among the villains who are sent to the planet Cygnus 4019. He is later killed by Parademons.

Jivan Shi is reintroduced in the "Doomsday Clock" storyline, where he is stated to be a civilian psychologist working for the Department of Metahuman Affairs.

Hyena in other media

The Summer Day incarnation of Hyena makes a non-speaking appearance in the Creature Commandos episode "Chasing Squirrels" as an inmate of Belle Reve.
