Biography: Born on the planet Thanagar, Katar Hall grew up to be a police officer. When an intergalactic menace rose up to conquer his planet, Katar quickly joined the military forces to combat this new evil, feeling it was equally his duty to fight.

After the war he attempted to return to his original job, but found himself feeling as if something missing. Switching fields, he signed up for the intergalactic exploration programme and taking to exploring the galaxy, he eventually crashed on a backwater planet.

Shortly after discovering that the crash had been due to pilot error, Katar was discovered by the natives. Believed to be a deity called Horus, the natives began to worship him, much to Katar's displeasure.

For a nearly a hundred years Katar was worshipped as a deity on the backwater planet. When a passing, Thanagar ship picked up his distress signal he gladly returned to his home planet, where he swore off space exploration. There, he attempted to return to his original job as a police officer, eventually marrying.


Trying to return to doing what he’d done before the war, Katar found himself once again felt like something was missing. Expressing his feelings to his wife, she suggested that they do some soul searching. Returning to the space exploration programme, he was once again agreed to pilot a space ship, with his wife as his first mate, on terms that he’d return to earth for further study.

When the two arrived on earth, both prepared for a long stay. However these plans where put on hold when once again the natives discovered them.

Believing once again that Katar Hall was a god, the natives where unsure what to make of his wife. In the long run they judged her to be a false deity and a bad influence of their god. Coming upon the two in the dead of night, the natives killed Katar’s wife cursed her and buried her in an unadorned sarcophagus somewhere in the desert.

When Katar finally was able to rest the information from the natives, but not where she was buried, he returned to his ship and selecting several different weapons, he went on a rampage. When his anger subsided, shortly after sinking an island and unknowingly starting a legend, and Katar realised what he’d done he swore that so long he was on earth he would never use Thanagar weaponry. After a bit more thinking, he also came to the conclusion that no native of earth would see his true form, which he believed to cause of a lot of his problems.

Taking to cryo-sleep, he hid his ship and let the years pass. When he woke at select intervals, he learned all he could about the planet and the years that had passed.

When he did eventually leave, around three hundred AD, Katar thought about returning to his planet, but decided otherwise.

Wandering the cosmos, he figured that there was still so much to learn and in between touchdowns on various planets, Katar decided the best way to prolong his already long life was to continue with the use of cryo-sleep.

Eventually returning to earth, he discovered himself drawn to an native woman. Further inspection revealed to Katar that his love had been reborn. But before he could really confess this and his love to creature, she was taken by others of her village and sacrificed to some deity.

Upset by this, Katar did not leave the planet, but instead put himself in cryo-sleep. Awoken ahead of the scheduled time by what he thought to be one of the natives, Katar soon discovered that the man who’d woken him was a Kryptonian name Lor-Jix, an explorer like Katar Hall. Catching up on what happened while he sleep, Katar also learned more about his new friend and what sort of species Kryptonians were, finding it interesting that, even though they had many classes, they could mostly be divided into two primary groups: scientist and warriors.

Spending his time on backwater planet, eventually learning it was called earth Katar eventually put behind him the loss of the woman he loved and prepared himself to watch and learn as history passed by him. When Lor-Jix announced he was returning to Krypton, Katar decided he would return to cryo-sleep.

When he awoken at a later date, Katar took to wandering the world, learning all he could about the civilisation and that the natives called the current period the renaissance. Coming to a place the natives called Italy, Katar was once again drawn to a native, who he knew to be his love once again reborn.

Confessing his love and who he was, Katar went out of his way win her over, but was devastated when she was once again taken from him, this time by a disease, had it been caught in time, could have easily been cured.

Returning to his ship, Katar’s thoughts turned inward and as he took to the sky and the vast space beyond, he started to programme the ship to fly into the nearby sun. But before he could put his plan into motion, he stopped when hailed by a passing ship. Almost deciding not to answer, Katar decided that he was ready to die and answered the hails.

To his surprise it was another Kryptonian, this one calling herself Beliz-Van. Docking with her ship, he learned she, like Lor-Jix was a scientist and that she was on a mission of exploration. When she asked about the planet he’d just left, Katar was almost hesitant to talk about it, but in the end filled her in. When she asked about going there, he explained that she was welcome to, but at the moment he had no wish to.
Deciding to respect Katar’s wishes, Beliz-Van asked him to join her as she planned to continue exploring, but elsewhere for the moment. Joining the Kryptonian woman, Katar Hall felt a measure of relieve as he put earth behind him to explore elsewhere.

Eventually the two parted company and for a while Katar Hall drifted, still using cryo-sleep to pass the time, as he done so many other times in the past. Returning to his home planet, he found to many changes and after a bit left, finally returning to earth.

Upon arriving on Earth, he was immediately confronted by a third Kryptonian, this one calling himself Jor-El. Assisting the Kryptonian with his studies, and catching up with what had been happening in Earth’s histories, Katar eventually opened up to the scientist and upon Jor-El’s request, explained who he was and what he was doing on Earth.

After a couple years Jor-El announced he was returning to Krypton and asked Katar Hall to join him. Declining, Katar told him how comfortable he’d come to be on Earth and asked for a rain check, unaware that he’d never see Jor-El again, but would someday run into his son, Jor-El II, as well as his grandson, Kal-El (for the sake of story, Katar Hall hasn’t run into Kal-El, but he will).

Now, present day, calling himself Carter Hall, he has taken up the job of curator of the Midway City museum in Michigan. He knows about the so-called superheroes and villains that are emerging, but in the long run he has no interest in their problems.
