Despite his flaws, he deeply cares about his son, [[Nate Heywood]] and his wife [[Dorothy Heywood]]. Although he was estranged from his son due to his devotion to Project Hades, he still believed he was doing the right thing for his country and most importantly for his son to live in a better world. He was also desperate to reconcile with his son, hence why he agreed to fund the [[Time Bureau]] to protect history from the [[Magical fugitives]]. However, he was using this to gain access to the fugitive creatures for Project Hades. Even though his actions were based on good intentions, he was willing to work with [[Neron]] to create the project (knowing that Neron was a demon). Ultimately, it was his son who convinced him to be a better person and not hide secrets. The love for his son was so great, he was convinced by him to trust the Legends after having a falling out with them, and not only that he was willing to sever ties with Neron and his cruel Project Hades, to be a better person and work with his son instead. This decision cost him his life, as Neron absorbed his life essence and killed him in retaliation, framing Nora Darhk for the crime who was trying to save Hank. His death devastated his son Nate (who was planning to forgive his father after finding out about Project Hades), he immediately regretted trying to cast Hank out of his life. Hank's death was avenged when [[John Constantine]] killed Neron.

"I had faith in you, Nate. And I was right to believe that my boy and all his freaky buddies would see this thing through."
—Hank Heywood's ghost[src]

Henry "Hank" Heywood[1] (1955 - April 8, 2019) was the son of the late Henry Heywood and Bettie Heywood, and the father of Nate Heywood. He grew up without his father due to him vanishing in 1956 and was led to believe he died. As such he became a detached individual and also overprotective of his son especially when he was diagnosed with hemophilia. This resulted in them becoming estranged when his son had grown up. However, the two finally reconciled after Hank discovered Nate had been saving the world as a Legend.

Hank was later killed by Neron after telling the latter he was not needed anymore. His soul was sent to heaven, though his ghost visited that of his son and used magic to bring the latter back to life.

Biography

Early life

Hank and Nate Heywood

Hank Heywood meeting his future son Nathaniel in 1970

Hank was born in 1955[2] to Henry and Betty Heywood in Hackensack, New Jersey.[3] Hank was raised by his mother after his father was reportedly killed in action when Hank was only a month old. He eventually received his father's dog tags from the war that Rip Hunter delivered to him as a final request from his father. In 1970, he entered into a contest for getting a chance to see the Apollo 13 mission control, not knowing that the competition had been rigged by his father in the hopes that he could meet him. However, this never occurred as his father died before they could actually meet, he instead unknowingly met his future son. Nate noticed he was wearing the dog tags and Hank told him that they were his dad's though he never got the chance to know him and he mentioned how his own father hadn't really been around for him, but he assured that he believed both were sorry.[4]

At some point in time, Hank married and had a son Nate who he later passed down his father's dog tags to and also told him bedtime stories of the battles that his father had fought in. Once, at the age of five, Nate scraped his knee causing him and his wife to become very overprotective as it was later discovered that Nate had hemophilia. However Nate noted that his father was emotionally closed off which led to their later estrangement in Nate's life.[4]

—Nate Heywood to Hank Heywood [src]

Hank appears to be a detached individual. He is shown later to be patriotic noticing the magical creatures can be used in Project Hades.[6] Nate originally thought he was torturing them but in reality he wanted to train creatures for an attraction park based on his son's dreams. Despite his flaws, he deeply cares about his son, Nate Heywood and his wife Dorothy Heywood. Although he was estranged from his son due to his devotion to Project Hades, he still believed he was doing the right thing for his country and most importantly for his son to live in a better world.
