Hourman (Rick Tyler) is a fictional character, a superhero who was created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas and Todd McFarlane and first appeared in Infinity Inc. #20 as Rick Tyler, son of the original Hourman, who quickly joined Infinity Inc. as the second Hourman in #21 of that book.

Hourman was given a special hourglass that caused him to experience random visions of one hour in the future. He also uses the drug Miraclo, which grants him super strength, speed, agility, reflexes and durability for a full hour.

Without Miraclo, Hourman is no more powerful than a regular human. He can only use one dose of Miraclo a day, as its long term abuse may prove detrimental for his health. Hourman's Miraclo is dispensed directly into his bloodstream by the hourglass amulets embedded in his costume's gauntlets.

The hourglass on his chest was once able to take him to a limbo chamber at Timepoint, but this ability has been used up. He is now a member of the Justice Society and married to Jesse Chambers, who has adopted the mantle of Liberty Belle and is a member, as well.
