| Years ago, even before his birth, a curse was placed on Hector Hall by Hath-Set, the arch foe of his father, Hawkman; Hector would be born as "the child without a soul". Though Hector appeared normal for the first two decades of his life, Hath-Set (now reincarnated as the woman Hastor) eventually sprang his trap, awakening the latent evil that dwelled inside Hector. A malevolent entity which adopted the name of "Silver Scarab" (Hector's own code name as a member of Infinity, Inc.) and which literally hatched from Hector's body, killing him (though he would later be resurrected). |
