Appearance:
Civilian Attire: Usually just a hoodie with a light trench coat over it
Personality: Rex is rather stoic. He isn’t much of an emotive person, but does feel compassion towards others. It is quite hard to tell the difference between when Rex is angry, and when he’s sad, but close friend’s can tell. He is usually always in deep thought, and rarely ever speaks up unless spoken too. Still his close friend’s consider him a gentle giant.
He is actually quite deep, and well-spoken when you do luckily get to talk to him. He reads often, and enjoys secretly reading old mystery novels. His outer appearance makes him look rather cold and unapproachable, and he tries to keep up with that image. Deep down, though, he is quite friendly, and fun to get to know. Despite his dry sense of humor.

Skills: Hand-to-Hand Combat: Rex is rather adept in basic hand to hand combat, being trained by the original Wildcat
Expert Detective Skills: Rex spent his entire life honing his detective skills, and even trained with the JSA member Sandman for a while. It has become something he relies on more than his precognition and Miraclo pills alone.
Special Equipment: Small vial of about 5 Miraclo vitamins, He carries with him at all times
Weaknesses:
Hour long time limit: The Miraclo pill can only work for an hour, and Rex cannot take another one for 24 hours, without physically exhausting himself, or potentially killing himself.
Prone: When he’s using his precognition powers to see 60 minutes into the future, He is prone for about a minute, leaving him open to attack from anyone.
Human Capability: Without the pill, Rex is susceptible to everything a normal human is susceptible to.
Pill based powers: Because Rex has to take a pill to gain any form of superhuman abilities, anyone who is fast enough could prevent him from taking it, leaving him vulnerable.
Most Heroic Achievements: Stopping a string of related crimes an hour before they occurred.
History: After a very long, and prosperous crime fighting career, Rick started to feel the effects of time, and wanted to settle down. Though she was devastated, Jesse gave her blessing, and he retired from the hero business. This gave Rick a new lease on life, and made his marriage with Jesse much more proactive. After a couple of months, Jesse decided to hang up the cape as well. It was then that Rex was conceived.
With the two assured their son would be safe from the lifestyle, they brought him into the world blinded. For much of his adolescent life, Rex was unaware of his parents identities. It wasn’t until Rex started getting into mystery novels at age 16, he found lying around the house that he started to investigate. After finding old photos of team members hidden away, He quickly deduced that his parents were superheroes. He was quickly inspired to follow in their work.
Still reluctant for their son to become a crime fighter, they made him train up with some of the best. He spent months training with the original Wildcat, learning basic fighting techniques he would need to fight crime. Though he ended up attaching to the JSA’s resident detective Sandman. He spent a great deal of time shadowing Sandman, as Sanderson taught Rex the tricks of the trade when it came to mysteries. Rex spent years learning from Sandman, and becoming a more adept detective.
Sanderson even helped him home in on his precognition a bit, before Rex had decided what he wanted to do with his life. Rex wanted to use his mind to help people rather than his body, and decided to become a private detective. He wanted to leave to Gotham, where he felt he was needed. His parent’s knew all too well what Gotham was like, and his father entrusted him with the tachyon hourglass, and the way to make Miraclo pills, if he is ever in trouble.
Rex left for Gotham at age 21, and made a bit of a name for himself as a private detective. He quickly realized that there were some crimes he couldn’t take on as Rex Tyler, and decided to don the mantle of his father, and his father before him, Hourman. Using his precognitive abilities, coupled with his detective skills, Rex hones in on crimes and, if necessary, dons the hood.
RP Sample:
Rex walked across the frozen streets of Gotham. It was almost magical, despite the crime and filth of the city being exactly the same. The cold didn’t bother Rex, but it did bother poor Agatha Smith, who decides tonight is a good night to take a shortcut. Rex decided to pick up the pace, as he wasn’t sure if he would make it to the location of the murder in an hour at the pace he was going.
He started darting through alleyways as fast as he could. Alley cats everyone scurried as Rex dashed through the snowy hallways of the city.
“I won’t make it in time” Rex thought to himself.
It quickly donned on Rex what he needed to do. He took off his civilian clothing, dropping them in a nearby dumpster. He took out a single blue gel capsule, popping it into his mouth. A sudden rush of energy invigorated Rex, as he felt his body becoming stronger, and more agile.
He quickly jumps for a fire escape ladder attached to the apartment building adjacent to him. Rather than use the stairs, he pulls himself up one level at a time. Once he’s atop the building, he gathers his bearings and decides to leap the rooftops to get to his destination.
*sigh*
With a leap of faith, he jumps across the moonlit rooftops of the cold Gotham buildings, finally making it to the familiar alley. As if, fulfilling a prophecy, a red-headed waitress darted downs the alley with a heavy raincoat and an umbrella. A rather shady looking fellow followed her close behind. Rex had figured this was the same man who had killed and stolen from the past few waitresses who had been passing through during this unfortunate season. Rex had figured he had some sort of vendetta against waitresses or something.
Before the fiend could even brandish a knife, a trash can top flew straight towards his solar plexus, knocking the air out of him. A quick kick to the back on the knee, and a boot to the head and the potential murderer is out cold. Without saying a word to the lady, Rex nodded, concealing himself in whatever darkness he could. He lifted the criminal over his shoulder, and quickly darted towards GCPD.
It would finally be safe for waitresses to walk home again.
