History

  The son of Hourman Rex Tyler, Rick initially disappointed his father by becoming an artist rather than a scientist. However, his relationship with his father remained strong, and when Rex disappeared, Rick took up the mantle of Hourman, becoming a member of young super-hero group Infinity Inc. He used a supply of his father's Miraclo tablets, using them to gain hour-long bursts of speed and strength. He later contacted a rare disease which was eventually cured by the android Hourman, who also gave him the gift of some additional powers, including a limited precognition, and the precious gift of one hour to spend with his deceased father. As Hourman he is now a member of the new JSA.
