History

He is an enemy of Iron Lantern and, in the words of Hal Stark, "one of the deadliest beings alive".

Hector Tarleton was a scientist working for the Weaponers of A.I.M., a group focused on technology over genetics. He was assigned to study meteor samples to see if they could be used as weapons. The radiation from the shards mutated Hector, enlarging his head but shrinking his body. His mutation also gave him increased intelligence and psychic powers. Calling himself H.E.C.T.O.R. (Highly Evolved Creature Totally Oriented on Revenge), he planned to take over the world along with the Weaponers of A.I.M.

In the past, H.E.C.T.O.R. has manipulated Iron Lantern's other foes, including Black Brand and Sonicorn, into doing "his dirty work".

More recently, H.E.C.T.O.R. and the Weaponers of A.I.M. attempted to gain control of Earth, but Iron Lantern and Mariner intervened. Iron Lantern was able to defeat H.E.C.T.O.R. at the last moment by reversing the polarity of the villain's Ion Cannon.

After his defeat, Iron Lantern escorted H.E.C.T.O.R. to Oa the Living Planet so that the villain could be absorbed into the planet's prison levels.
