"Listen, buddy, take care of this car until we get back. It's special. Just like you."

- Rex to Rick Tyler

Rex Tyler (died 2011 ) was a member of the Justice Society of America and the vigilante known as Hourman.

Final battle against the Injustice Society
On December 24, 2010, Rick fought alongside the rest of the Justice Society of America in the final battle against the Injustice Society and was seemingly killed by The Wizard.

Survival
However, he survived the battle and fled to Blue Valley with his wife and son but was pursued by the ISA.

He attempted to escape from them with his wife but he knew that they were likely to be caught and so he made a fake birth certificate that stated that his sons name was Rick Harris instead of Rick Tyler and left him with his brother-in-law, Matt Harris, alongside $50,000 to help raise him.

As they were leaving Blue Valley, they were confronted by Solomon Grundy who caused them to crash into a tree which caused their deaths.
