Professor Hamilton

A trusted figure in Superman's corner of the DC Universe, Professor Hamilton made his debut in Superman Annual #9 in 1997, brought to life by Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen during comics' Modern Age. Over a remarkable stretch running all the way to 2025, he's kept extraordinarily distinguished company — sharing pages with Superman, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Jonathan Kent across titles like Adventures of Superman and Superman Adventures. If you love the rich supporting tapestry that makes Metropolis feel like a real, lived-in world, Professor Hamilton is exactly the kind of character worth seeking out.
