NotesEdit

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
• Originally, Lion-Mane was an adversary of Hawkman (Katar Hol). In the revised Post-Hawkworld continuity, he is a foe of Katar's Earth-bound predecessor, Carter Hall.
