Who is Hourman?

Rex Tyler is a biochemist who created Miraclo, a powerful pill that grants him superhuman strength, speed, and stamina — but only for sixty minutes at a time. As Hourman, he channels this timed boost to fight crime alongside DC's greatest heroes.

Bronze Age born and quietly enduring, Hourman stepped onto the page in 1983's Flash #2, brought to life by the legendary Denny O'Neil and Don Heck. Over more than four decades this character has kept extraordinary company — sharing adventures with the likes of Green Lantern, Batman, Black Canary, and the Atom — a roster that speaks to a place at the heart of DC's heroic tradition. Most prominently featured in Dawn of Justice Society of America and across Flash and La Ligue de Justice, Hourman may have a modest footprint in this catalog, but the caliber of the stories and the company kept make every appearance worth tracking down.
