Biography
Henry was a police officer of the CCPD. At one point in his life, Henry met Nora and together they had two sons, Jay and Barry.
As a father, Henry was particularly close to Jay and took every opportunity to praise him, especially when his son entered law enforcement as well.[1] However, Henry was distant from Barry as he grew up, to the point that Barry felt that Henry had failed as a father.[2] Ultimately though, Henry loved both his sons equally.[3]
In 2018, the Monitor invaded Earth-90 and seemingly killed all of its residents. Because of that, Henry's fate remains unknown.[4]
