Hector Hall (also known as Hektor Hol) 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 (September, 1983). While having adopted various codenames, the character is frequently associated with Hawkman-related characters.
The original incarnation of the character was the son of Carter Hall and the original Hawkgirl, Shiera Sanders Hall, who operated under the codename Silver Scarab, a member of Infinity Inc. The character is killed by events orchestrated by the Hawk family's longstanding enemy, Hath-Set, and becomes the third Sandman, reunited with his friends and family for a time before returning to the dead but not before conceiving child with love interest, Fury.
Inheriting his parent's reincarnation cycle abilities, he is reincarnated as the biological son of Hank Hall (no relation to Carter Hall) and Dawn Granger, the duo more famously known as Hawk and Dove, due to Mordru's machinations. Shortly after birth, Hector is aged to adulthood but embraces his destiny as the sixth Doctor Fate, succeeding Jared Stevens and becoming a notable member of the Justice Society of America until his death during the "Day of Vengeance" storyline. The newest incarnation of the character, Hektor Hol, is introduced in a backup of Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow. This version, known as Changeling, is seemingly Thanagarian in origin and possessing similar equipment often adorned by Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Hawkwoman. This version of the character and is the son of Katar and Shayera Hol.
Hector Hall makes his first media appearance in the first season of the Netflix drama series The Sandman (2022), portrayed by Lloyd Everitt. This version takes inspiration from his histories concerning his lifetime as the Silver Scarab and Sandman.
