History
Prior to his death, the father of the Hangor siblings supposedly hid $50,000 in bonds in the family home. For whatever reason, Hangor disappeared and lost touch with his family years before his father's death. His sister inherited the family home but was unable to locate the hidden bonds and so converted the home into a boarding house, renting its rooms to various tenants.
Hangor, either already knowing about the hidden bonds or learning about them later, changed his appearance and pose as a tenant. At night, he obscured his features and murdered the other tenants in the hopes of frightening everyone off the property so that he could search for the bonds himself.
He didn't account that one of the most recent tenants was the Eternal Makkari who was posing as the human Mike Curry and moonlighting as the costumed hero Hurricane at that time. Quickly being witness to a murder, Hurricane investigated the situation. He learned about the supposed hidden bonds and set himself up as the "Menace's" next target. When Hangor attempted to murder Hurricane, he easily overpowered him and turned him over to the authorities to confess to his crimes.[1]Paraphernalia
