Dial H for Hero
|
|
Dial H for Hero is a comic book feature published by DC Comics about a magical dial that enables an ordinary person to become a superhero for one hour.
The dial causes its possessor to become a new superhero with a name, costume and powers each time it is used. These superheroes are usually brand-new, but on occasion the dial causes its owner to become a duplicate of an existing superhero, such as Plastic Man.
The original owner of the dial is Robby Reed, a teenager from Littleville, Colorado, who discovers the dial in a cavern and quickly uses it to protect Littleville under the guises of numerous superheroes.
Later, two other dials are discovered by teenagers Christopher King and Victoria Grant of the New England town of Fairfax. King and Grant thus begin protecting Fairfax from any number of menaces, and eventually they even meet Robby Reed.
In a much later series, H.E.R.O., a similar dial is found by various other people, who each gain super powers in a similar manner to Reed, King, and Grant. Eventually, Reed appears in this series as well.
