Who is Hank Heywood III?

Introduced in the pages of Justice League of America #242 in 1985, Hank Heywood III is a Bronze Age DC creation from the pen of Gerry Conway and the pencils of George Tuska — a character who arrived at a pivotal, transitional moment for one of comics' most storied teams. His catalog footprint spans an impressive forty years, with three key-issue appearances that mark him as genuinely collector-significant, and his adventures unfold alongside some of DC's heaviest hitters: Green Lantern, Vibe, Steel, and the ever-watchful Martian Manhunter. Whether in the classic Justice League of America run, the landmark Legends crossover, or the retrospective sweep of DC Universe: Legacies, Heywood occupies a fascinating corner of DC history — a figure worth tracking down for any fan who loves the texture and ambition of 1980s superhero storytelling.
