Publication history

[edit]

Hath-Set first appeared in Flash Comics #1 and was created by Gardner Fox and Dennis Neville.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Hath-Set is an Egyptian priest who leads a rebellion and kills Prince Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara using a cursed Nth Metal dagger. This inadvertently causes the three to continuously reincarnate.

Doctor Hastor

[edit]

During World War II, Hath-Set is reincarnated as Anton Hastor and becomes Hawkman's first foe. He kidnaps prominent scientists and creates an advanced airship capable of destroying cities, but is defeated by Hawkman and the All-Star Squadron and killed by Hawkgirl.

Infinity Inc.

[edit]

In Infinity Inc., Hath-Set takes over the Infinitor Hector Hall, also known as the Silver Scarab. The team defeats Hath-Set, during which Hall is killed and becomes the third Sandman.

Helene Astar

[edit]

In his most recent incarnation, Hath-Set is a spirit who can control his descendants. The Hawks travel to the Himalayas to search for Speed Saunders. Hath-Set has taken over a woman called "Helene Astar". In attempting to kill the Hawks, Astar dies. The Hawks believe that Astar was a reincarnation of Hath-Set and that Hath-Set has been permanently killed. Hath-Set goes on to make a plot with the villainous businessman Kristopher Roderic to kill Hawkman.[2]

Alliance with Khea

[edit]

In Brightest Day, Hath-Set allies with Queen Shrike while living in Peru. He battles Hawkman and Hawkgirl before the latter kills him by snapping his neck.[3][4][5][6]

In the DC Rebirth continuity, Hath-Set's backstory is largely the same as his original version. However, he is depicted as having founded the Judas Tribe after encountering a time-displaced Batman.[7][8][9][10]
