Harlan Krueger[]
Harlan Krueger was the product of another era. Growing up, he idolized Silver Screen action heroes like Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne and Tom Mix. Through their adventures, he developed a very clear sense of good and evil. In his perception, there were no grey areas. Heroes were incorruptible, while villains were irredeemable. When he came of age, he enlisted in the United States armed services and served during World War II.
Seeing the Nazi soldiers as the very epitome of evil, he savagely murdered as many enemy soldiers as possible. Despite his devout patriotism, his actions were considered not only above the call of duty, but recklessly unconscionable. Harlan was court-martialed and drummed out of the service.
Harlan attempted to continue his vow to combat evil by joining the police department, but his dishonorable discharge placed a a permanent stain on his employment record, and no police agency would hire him. Viewing law enforcement agencies as weak and corruptible, he decided to become a "crime-fighter" and adopted the guise of the Hangman.

Horrobin[]
Horrobin was a scientist who worked alongside another man named Doctor Poole. He set up shop inside of a cavern in the side of a hill in the village of Thursdyke in England. Professor Horrobin sought to awaken the "God-Kings" of the Earth. To this end, he bathed the entire village in microwave radiation that matched the frequency of the brain wave patterns of the people who lived there. This resulted in villagers succumbing to their more base and impulsive instincts, many of which included acts of violence. By doing so, Horrobin believed that by unlocking subconscious impulses, he was setting the people of Thursdyke free. (Hellblazer 25)
