Biography

Hordr_Root in Superman v3 #47.

Hordr_Root

Jimmy barely survived HORDR's attack and Contessa took him to safety whilst Superman took on his sand duplicate clone. Superman baited the duplicate into using a solar flare, intending to use the explosion to recharge himself and leave the clone vulnerable. It only partially worked as Superman did not regain his powers but the sand clone was turned to glass allowing the Man of Steel to shatter him. Clark returned to the hideout to find Condesa had turned all the electronics against Yurei, trapping her in a metallic prison. Yurei realized her part in the plot was over thus revealing that despite his victory, Clark Kent would not be safe as HORDR_ROOT would hunt him down with or without her. Taking Jimmy Olsen, he had the human's body dressed in the guise of Hordr_Root whilst his mind took control of him. Later, Clark and Haemosu put on the scheduled brawl but this time HORDR_ROOT and his group of robots and Quarmers crashed into the Thousand One House. However, unlike their past encounters, this time it turned out to be a trap that Clark had made for HORDR_ROOT. Alongside his minions, they attacked Superman where his ally Mayari created a bubble around the arena that traps them all inside and blocks all communication and signals. HORDR was thus trapped this time and could not transfer his mind to another node. (Superman v3 #47)

Avenging Apolaki, the gods fight came to fight against HORDR's robots. This was until Superman grabbed Hordr and looked to end the fight by breaking his foes neck. Clark dropped HORDR not wanting to commit murder with the villain who laughed at the hero's actions stating that now none of his friends and family would be safe. It was then that Contessa used a special hard drive to trap HORDR thus ending the threat posed by him. Clark at that point recognized the HORDR node's real voice and unmasked the person revealing it to be Jimmy Olsen. Kent then realized he had nearly killed his best friend and cradled him as he fell unconscious. Clark then took the hard drive to Mr. Terrific Michael Holt and asked him to keep it safe away from any RF signals that could enable HORDR to escape. (Superman v3 #47)

Overview

Personality and attributes

It was said that one did not find HORDR_ROOT but rather he found them. He was compared to being the Internet in that he was everywhere. (Superman v3 #47)

Powers and abilities

Hordr_Root was said to be capable of jumping from one body to another over the same RF signals used by the Internet. Those nodes he possessed operated as his body and contained some lingering trace of his memories if he left them. As a result, HORDR_ROOT made it a practice of destroying nodes he had discarded as he did not want any of his secrets to be revealed by them. (Superman v3 #47)
