Rick Tyler (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)

"Damn you! Fight back! Fight me! You stupid animal. You stupid animal! Go on! Get outta here! And never come back! You spared the beast. Whatever. My hour was up."

- Rick Tyler to Solomon Grundy

Rick Tyler, commonly known as Rick Harris, is the son of the late Wendi and Rex Tyler, a student at Blue Valley High School, a member of the Justice Society of America and the vigilante known as Hourman.

Early Life
Rick Tyler was born in either late 2004 or 2005 to Wendi and Rex Tyler. After the final battle between the Justice Society and the Injustice Society, his father took it upon himself to hunt down the Injustice Society, eventually purchasing a house in West Farms, Blue Valley which the family moved into.

They lived together there until one night in 2011 when Rex and Wendi planned to leave after Rex found out that the Injustice Society had discovered their location and was coming after them. The pair said their final goodbyes and Rex gave Rick a toy 1966 mustang, stating that he must take care of it until he gets back as it was special just like him. Rick's uncle, Matt Harris, then arrived at the home and was told that there is paperwork inside stating that he owned the house and that Rick was legally his son under the name, "Matt Harris". Rex and Wendi then drove away into the forest, where they were killed in a car crash by Solomon Grundy.

Blue Valley High School
This, combined with Matt's abusive treatment due to the resentment of raising a child he never wanted, resulted in Rick becoming a delinquent with an extremely short temper. As a teenager, Rick began to attend Blue Valley High School where he sat at the "losers table", stole school property, frequently received detention and began to skip school to drink alcohol. He also began to repair his father's 66' Mustang.

Meeting Courtney Whitmore
In 2020, Rick was eating lunch alongside Beth Chapel and Yolanda Montez when they were joined by Courtney Whitmore. Courtney introduced herself to them but was ignored by Rick and Yolanda, leading to Beth responding that they aren't friends and were sitting at the "losers table". Annoyed by this, Rick told Beth to speak for herself before storming off and stealing a Nutty Buddy product from a cart. Later that day, Rick was in detention where he used a pocket knife to carve something into the desk, which annoyed Courtney.
