Description

Dan Richards is the original Manhunter, a skilled detective and fighter who operated as a costumed crimefighter after clearing his friend Jim's name from a false murder charge. Lacking superpowers, he relied on his physical abilities and sharp investigative skills to pursue justice. He was often accompanied by Thor, a dog trained to assist him during his missions. Dan Richards' Manhunter identity originated in Quality Comics and later became part of the DC universe, where he worked alongside teams like the All-Star Squadron and the Freedom Fighters.
