Doctor Hormone, a man who appeared to be 25, but was really 75, was a scientist who, having discovered the secret of life itself, was injected with his own “youth hormone”, which successfully restored his body to youthful vigor. After agents from Urasia stole his formulas from his laboratory to aid in their nation’s wars against its neighbors, Doctor Hormone and his granddaughter, Jane, traveled to the besieged nation of Novoslavia, where he used his scientific expertise to help battle the Urasian invaders, who were using the hormones to create armies of animal/human hybrids. Later, Doctor Hormone was employed as a researcher for the United States Army and worked in a laboratory at Fort Knox. Doctor Hormone was also summoned by a disembodied voice called The Thinker, who temporarily endowed him with superhuman powers to fight off an invasion of Texas by the “Nazians”. Then, The Thinker lured Doctor Hormone and Jane into a mysterious gorge where they descended to the “Chaos” and fell into a state of suspended animation. The character has not appeared since. Doctor Hormone was a scientific genius who developed powerful “hormones” which were capable of creating great changes in the human body, including restoring youth and transforming people into animals or bizarre human-animal hybrids. Oddly, although constantly referred to as a “youth hormone”, the hormone actually just turned everyone 25… including babies. In his first appearance, Dr. Hormone used the “youth hormone” to age a dying baby to 25 with varying success (the infant became 25 and lived, but didn’t know how to walk or talk). The doctor then used the hormone to age young boys into men capable of becoming soldiers. The Thinker endowed Doctor Hormone with powers that included superhuman strength, a stentorian voice, and super-breath. Presumably, this was temporary.
