History
Police patrolman Donald "Dan" Richards was secretly a masked criminal hunter, under the name Manhunter.
In Empire City,[1] Dan attended police academy with the brother of his girlfriend Kit, James Kelly. Jim came on top of the class, but Dan at the bottom. He had high marks during the years, but tanked his exams because he was busy cataloging all the country's criminals and their characteristics.
Jim was framed for the murder of shady politician Al Armand, who had asked him to kill a rival. The rival showed up and killed Armand instead. With his database, Dan realized the murderer was Johnny Cosentino. He donned a costume he had been preparing, caught the perpetrator and cleared Jim's name.
Afterwards, he continued to operate as Manhunter.
