Manhunter — dc | wkmrr.org

Manhunter is an legacy codename used by several characters in the DC Universe.

In-universe, the earliest historical source of the name was the group known as the Manhunters, an intergalactic police force made up of androids created by the Guardians of the Universe. For thousands of years, they served the Guardians well, as they also inspired a Manhunter Cult on Earth during Millennium, as well as on Mars, resulting in the creation of Martian Manhunters. However, their programming was corrupted; their mantra, "No Man Escapes The Manhunters", became more important to them than seeing justice done. Their turning evil led to them massacring an entire sector, and they were replaced by the Green Lantern Corps, and they frequently battle them. They reside on the planet Biot.

The original human Manhunter was Dan Richards, a police officer turned vigilante with a canine sidekick named Thor. Richards was involved with the All-Star Squadron and the Freedom Fighters.
The second was Paul Kirk, a private investigator who turned vigilante when his friend was murdered. Kirk was involved with the All-Star Squadron and O.S.S..
The Council cloned an army based on Kirk, and one prominent Paul Kirk clone founded the Secret Society of Super-Villains.
Mark Shaw was a lawyer who grew tired with criminals escaping justice, and he received a costume from the ancient society of Manhunters. He hunted down costumed criminals for bounty. Shaw was also involved with the Shadow Fighters and the Suicide Squad.
Chase Lawler was a musician who became Manhunter when he summoned the Wild Huntsman to rescue his girlfriend.
Paul Kirk's last remaining clone took the name Kirk DePaul and became a member of Power Company.
The most recent Manhunter is district attorney Kate Spencer. Spencer has been involved with the Birds of Prey, the D.E.O., the F.B.I., and the Justice Society.

Manhunter was created by Tex Blaisdell and Alex Kotzky, first appearing in the Quality Comics publication Police Comics #8 (1942).
The Manhunters were created by Jack Kirby, first appearing in 1st Issue Special #5 (1977).
