Referring to Rick Tyler as the "Silver Age" Hourman is somewhat misleading. The character first appeared in the mid-1980s, well after the end of the so-called Silver Age. Also, he has been reestablished as DC's "official" Hourman in recent issues of JSA where his father, Rex, has returned to earth and retirement and the android Tyler was destroyed in Rex's place by Extant.

I propose the "age" descriptions be replaced by "first", "second" and "third". rockhopper10r 17:28, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Almost two year later, the current covention is CODENAME (REAL NAME). Which means that this article should split off Rex into his own article and leave this as a disambiguation. CovenantD 00:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creators

We need a citation on the writer who created Hourman. I say this because this page suggests it was Gardner Fox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnLynch (talk • contribs) 10:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
