[edit] Hunter I

Hunter I first appeared in Adventure Comics #358 (July 1967). Otto Orion is a master hunter on the planet Simballi where he became its sole ruler. Hoping to find new prey to hunt, he hunts the Legion of Super-Heroes where he is killed.

[edit] Hunter II

Hunter II first appeared in Superboy (1st series) #199 (November 1973). Adam Orion is the son of Otto Orion. He blamed the Legion for his father's death and tried to get revenge on them, but was thwarted by Bouncing Boy. Some years later, he joined the extended Legion of Super-Villains gathered by Nemesis Kid on the planet Orando.

In Final Crisis, he was among the supervillains in Superman-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Neither version of Hunter had any actual powers, but they were both master hunters and trackers.

[edit] Other Media

The Adam Orion version of Hunter appeared in an episode of Legion of Super Heroes along with the other Legion of Super Villains. He was voiced by Khary Payton (in a thick Australian accent).
