Biography
James fought in the War of the Americas wearing a silver kettle helmet. When he returned home, he found that his wife, Ashley, was attempting to leave him. He became violent, and started assaulting her. Their son, Hunter, walked in on them and James, angry with his wife, gave Hunter his kettle helmet and forced him to watch as he murdered the boy's mother. Following the ordeal, James was convicted and sent to prison, while his son was sent to live at the Central City Orphanage.

Behind the scenes

 * In the DC comics, the name of Hunter Zolomon's father is unknown. His backstory is also significantly different; Hunter's father was not a war hero but a serial killer who had killed six young girls, and when his mother told the police, his father murdered her on the day Hunter was to leave for college. Hunter's father was subsequently killed by the police after refusing to give himself up.
