History[]

Hercules Hurricane was the captain of a tramp steamer until it was sunk by a German U-Boat early in World War II. After that, he and his ship's cook Maggott Malone enlisted in the Royal Marine Commandos. When he lost his temper and went into one of his 'raging furies', Hurricane had seemingly superhuman strength, though how was never made entirely clear. He and Malone, who acted as his batman, saw action in various parts of the world throughout the war.

Notes[]

Hurricane was one of a number of IPC characters resurrected by America's DC Comics in the 2005 limited series Albion, in which the details of his origin were changed; according to this account, Hurricane had been the subject of a failed experiment to create a super soldier, conducted by 'Doctor' Malone, and most of his memories of his past were delusional fantasies.
