He fought the Two-Gun Kid several times, but was ultimately defeated each time. Later, the time travelling West Coast Avengers battled Hurricane and the group of outlaws he belonged to. He battled Tigra, but was taken into custody. He was created by Stan Lee and Dick Ayres.

Hurricane IV

Hurricane IV was a member of the second incarnation of the Dark Riders. He was a mutant with the power to summon force-ten gale winds, which he normally used to disorient his victims while the other Dark Riders battled hand-to-hand. During their first mission, the Dark Riders faced off against a few of the X-Men, and Hurricane jumped at the opportunity to face Storm. They battled, and Storm eventually defeated him. Later, Storm pushed Hurricane's strong winds away and Gauntlet was ready to kill him for failing twice. Fortunately, Genesis didn't want Hurricane dead and he stayed with the Dark Riders. Hurricane was one of the Riders who broke Cyber out of prison, and the two seemed to have some anger towards each other though they had just met. During the adamantium bonding process on Wolverine, Hurricane was killed when Wolverine rejected the adamantium, exploding the tank and sending shards of adamantium everywhere. Hurricane was stabbed with hundreds of adamantium shards and died instantly.
