Biography

Frank Hoag

He came to serve for 20 years within the NYPD. (Sludge v1 #1) Dr. Ferdinand Lalama developed a human tissue regeneration process, seeking to find a way to speed up the healing process by accelerating the body's own capacity to heal itself. Lalama was fired from Caldwell and written off as crackpot. After buying out Caldwell Pharmaceuticals, some of mobster John Paul Marcello's men discovered Lalama's work. Caldwell reopened the project in their Re-Gen laboratory, and they tried to rehire Lalama, who refused to work with them. (Sludge v1 #10)

Hoag investigated the murder of a woman covered with death's head brands. Despite his best efforts, he never located or identified the killer. Frank brought in registered sex offender Chester 'The Molester' Polanski, suspecting him to be the branding iron killer, but Polanski's alibi was tight and he was released. (Ultraverse Premiere v1 #10) Marcello asked Hoag to kill another crooked police officer, Niall Quinn (who was working for both Marcello and his rivals in the Dragon Fang), but Hoag refused. (Sluedge v1 #1) Hoag met at the E.J. Caldwell Pharmaceuticals Tower with Marcello and his consigliore, Vittorio Sabatini, who asked him to rethink their request. When Hoag again refused and also told them that he could not remain silent if they took out Quinn, Vittorio shot Hoag. Taking a shoulder shot, Hoag managed to duck out of the room and into Caldwell's Re-Gen laboratory, into which Marcello's men tossed a grenade. Caught in the explosion and bathed in unknown chemicals, Hoag screamed in agony as Vittorio and two others Joey and Sal emptied their guns into him. Certain that Hoag was dead, the men tossed him into the sewers to get rid of his body. However, the chemicals from the lab mixed with the sewage, reviving him in monstrous form. Emerging from a sewer pipe, he was mortified to see his reflection in the water. (Sluedge v1 #10)
