Hourman is an android from the 853rd century created by Tyler Chemorobotics (formerly TylerCo). Shortly after his construction, Metron appoints Hourman as his heir and entrusts him with the Worlogog, an artifact containing a map of space and time.[1]
Solaris uses Hourman's body as a vessel to transport a virus to the past. After restoring the planet Krypton and its inhabitants, Hourman travels to the 20th century to join the Justice League, where Snapper Carr mentors him. Furthermore, he limits his power to be more like his namesake.
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, Hourman assists Stargirl in rescuing various Golden Age sidekicks from the Time Masters.[2][3][4][5] Unable to return the sidekicks to their own times, Hourman instead brings them to the present day.[6][7]
Powers and abilities
Hourman's body consists of countless nanomachines, enabling him to repair himself if damaged. Furthermore, he can manipulate time for one hour at a time and wields a transforming time ship.
