Hector Hall

Hector Sanders Hall is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway, he made his first appearance in All-Star Squadron #25. While having adopted various codenames, the character is frequently associated with Hawkman-related characters.
Hector Hall is the son of Carter and Shiera Hall, the Golden Age heroes known as Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Carter and Shiera were reincarnations of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and his wife, both of whom had been killed and cursed by their rival Hath-Set. Unbeknownst to either of them, however, Hath-Set's curse also concerned the two's children. The curse of Seketh, the ancient Egyptian god of death, prophesied the combination of the Silver Scarab and the Eye of Ra, which would mean the end of the world. Hector is born without a soul and destined to be a vessel for the Silver Scarab, an agent of vengeance called forth by Hath-Set.
Feeling neglected by his parents, Hector constructs a suit out of the Nth Metal that granted his parents the power of flight, while also adding some solar improvements. Hector enrolls at UCLA and reunites with his childhood friend, Lyta Trevor. The two quickly fall in love and decide to apply for membership in the Justice Society of America. However, they, Atom Smasher, and Northwind are rejected due to their age and inexperience. Alongside Jade, Obsidian, Brainwave, Star-Spangled Kid, Power Girl, and Huntress, the heroes found a new group called Infinity, Inc.
After battling their parents and mentors, the team publicly reveals their secret identities and Hector announces his engagement to Lyta. They have little time to enjoy their happiness as the entity that had been within Hector since his birth came forth, thanks to the manipulation of Hath-Set. The reincarnated Silver Scarab battles Infinity, Inc. alongside Hath-Set and summons the Eye of Ra. The heroes manage to defeat Silver Scarab, but at the cost of Hector's life.
Hector's consciousness is cast into the Dreaming, where he is discovered by Brute and Glob, former servants of Dream who manipulate him into adopting the identity of Sandman. Some time later, Dream escapes captivity, returns Hector to the realm of the dead, and claims Hector's unborn son Daniel, who is destined to become the next Lord of Dreams.
Hector Hall later undergoes a reincarnation cycle that enables him to return to life. Shortly after his birth, Mordru accelerates Hector's aging process to adulthood, intending to usurp his power as Doctor Fate. On a later adventure in Kahndaq, Hector and Nabu clash as the latter argues the legitimacy of Black Adam's current agenda and accuses him of blindly following his father. Nabu later takes control of Hector and imprisons his spirit in the Amulet of Anubis. Within the Amulet, he is reunited with the previous incarnations of Doctor Fate: Kent Nelson, Eric Strauss, and Linda Strauss, who help him trap Nabu inside the Amulet. Lyta and Hector return to the Tower of Fate and live happily until they are trapped in Hell by the Spectre, who is on a rampage to destroy all magic. Near death, Lyta and Hector enter a portal to the Dreaming as their physical bodies die.
Following The New 52 reboot in 2011, the histories of previous Doctor Fates, including Hector Hall, were erased from continuity.
In "Infinite Frontier", Hector as the Silver Scarab appears in a portrait of the Infinity Inc. members. In a short backup story in the conclusion of the Superboy: Man of Tomorrow limited series, Changeling appears during a battle between Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and various alien creatures. He introduces himself as his son Hektor Hol, much to Hawkman's surprise.
