History
This very sinister and deadly foe, who can also use Ninth Metal weapons to his advantage was an unnamed warrior-shaman from a South American jungle tribe whose destiny was changed, more or less, by Robert Ripley, threatened St. Roch for decades. Among Headhunter's abilities is the power to draw life and knowledge from the heads he severs and shrinks.
He seems to have developed a particular fascination with Hawkman, to the point of gathering bones from the corpses of his various incarnations and resurrecting an army of dead Khufu vessels. He seems to accomplish this and some other things with the aid of some "Nth Metal dust," presumably collected from the various Hawkman-incarnate tombs, his scythe may also be Nnth metal
The first battle between them left Carter in such an angered state, he ended up meting out justice more brutally than usual for awhile. The Headhunter may have returned later on with another army of living dead zombies with which to plague the city, and to keep Hawkman and Hawkgirl on their toes.
