Hammerhead

Hammerhead is a operative in the Valiant Universe's H.A.R.D. Corps, a team of soldiers equipped with neural implants granting temporary superhuman abilities, working alongside teammates like Gunslinger and Shakespeare under the direction of Charlie Palmer.

Hammerhead made their entrance in the pages of The H.A.R.D. Corps #4 in 1993, brought to life by the creative team of David Michelinie, Bob Layton, and Mike Leeke during the early, electric days of the Valiant Universe. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, this character inhabits a gritty corner of Acclaim/Valiant continuity alongside a memorable cast that includes Gunslinger, Shakespeare, and Charlie Palmer. With appearances stretching across The H.A.R.D. Corps, Bloodshot, and the landmark crossover Deathmate, Hammerhead may have a compact catalog footprint — including one key collector issue — but that's exactly the kind of deep-cut Valiant history that makes hunting down these early-nineties gems so rewarding.
