This is gay Afro-Latino (Puerto Rican) superhero Hero Cruz (who currently only appears in the 19 issues of the 1996 comic title, SUPERBOY AND THE RAVERS--and yes, that's literally his name).

It's a handsome redesign by Luciano Vecchio, featuring both his Achilles Vest & his H-Dial!

"Dial H For Heroes"

Way back in 1981, Hanna Barbera Productions began developing an animated series based on the comic book Dial H For Hero published by DC Comics. The series would have character designs made by the legendary Alex Toth, at the time an employee of the Hanna Barbera studio.

I never knew Dial H could have been a cartoon! I always thought of it as one of those great untapped ideas. It may have been doomed from the start, as I can imagine how expensive and time-consuming it would have been to create new heroes every episode.

We may have gotten off lucky, looking at some of those character descriptions...

Billy Batson refers to Miguel Montez as Ben 10 too often...

They're both fans of the show, especially Billy, but still, he calls Miguel that A LOT

The Metal Men and Dial H for Hero by George Pérez

[celadons-penultimate]

I'm always flabbergasted when I think about the DC Comics title DIAL H FOR HERO. Not only did DC have it *DECADES* before Ben 10 was ever a thing, but gay Afro-Latino H-Dial wielder Hero Cruz existed 23 years before Miguel Montez (current H-dial wielder, also gay & Latino) & even 15 years before Marvel's own Spider-Man, Miles Morales (also Afro-Latino).

No shade to Miles nor Miguel & I know that social progress isn't, and shouldn't be, a competition.

It's just wild that, if DC folks were thinking (and if people were not hindered by prejudices), the Ben 10 "I can be a one-man team" dynamic could have happened in the mainstream WAY earlier & w/ more diversity to boot!

I'd love to see an H-Dial hero in a DC Comics TV show or movie (animated and/or live-action), but I doubt DC would even attempt it now, with the comparisons fans would inevitably draw between DH4H & the Ben 10 universe (despite there actually being very big story differences).
