Biography[]
In 1978, Hannigan broke a major story regarding the Vice President dodging the I.R.S. and having hidden connections to the mafia.[1]
Some years later, Hannigan hosted his own tabloid TV show, Hank Hannigan's Hot Copy. He headed to Central City to get a scoop on the local pizza, not being interested in the alleged appearances of the Flash. He was given a police escort, Barry Allen and Julio Mendez. The latter took him to Mario's, a local pizzeria. Hannigan later hung around by the two scientists' lab, chatting with Barry about how he simply reported whatever his general audience wanted to hear, before heading to check out the city by himself. He witnessed the Flash putting out a fire, recording it with his camera. He followed the Flash and Kid Flash to a fair, but admitted to Julio that he wouldn't air the footage on his show, choosing to remain credible.[1]
In 2018, The Monitor invaded Earth-90 and seemingly killed all of its residents. Because of that, Hank's fate remains unknown.[2]
