The Silver Scarab armor was created by Hector Hall using the gravity defying Nth metal discovered by his father, Carter Hall.
History
It was solar powered and, in addition to enabling Hall to fly, could also fire beams of solar energy. Hall later redesigned the armor to be more lightweight and flexible, resembling a costume more than it did armor. Later still, when an ancient mystical curse overtook Hall, his body seemingly spontaneously generated a third armored form which, while still composed of Nth metal, was actually a seemingly empty shell motivated purely by magic. The third Silver Scarab armor was not actually worn by Hector Hall at all, but effectively replaced him. It was eventually destroyed at Hall Manor, Hector's ancestral home. Whether the first and second versions still exist is unknown.
Notes
- Three versions of the armor appeared:
- The original cowled version starting in All-Star Squadron #25 (1983)
- An open faced version stating in Infinity Inc. #16 (1985)
- The mystical shell starting in Infinity Inc. #43 (1987)
