Dr. Emil Hamilton was a scientist who works with the United States military branch DARPA. Hamilton was present alongside with the military when an extra-terrestrial signal was detected on Ellesmere Island, Canada. He greatly contributed to the defeat of General Zod's alien invasion, but was himself sucked into the Phantom Zone as a result.
Biography
Hamilton identified alien signals and co-ordinated with the United States Army to discover their secrets. Searching began in Ellesmere Island, Canada where he searched for the source of the signal. Unable to find the cause of the signal, an enormous alien spacecraft rose from beneath sheets of ice that was tens of thousands of years old and flew far away. Not long after a larger alien spaceship entered Earth's orbit.
General Swanwick reached the control room and Hamilton told him of the preceding events. A military clampdown procedure began at Swanwick's behest, but subsequently an extra-terrestrial message was simultaneously broadcast across the world by the Kryptonian megalomaniacal military leader, General Zod, who was in pursuit of a lost member of his race called "Kal-El" and that the world would pay if he wasn't handed over of surrendered himself. The alien voluntarily handed himself in to the American military and was put in a cross-examination room. Hamilton began to ask him questions before the alien spoke with Swanwick telling him that he was not their foe, but advised him that they would never control him.
Reporter Lois Lane spoke with the alien inside the room and dubbed him Superman. He relayed all the knowledge he knew of his Kryptonian heritage to her while Hamilton and Swanwick overheard. Superman was handed over to Zod’s forces by the military. Later He defeated Zod’s minions when they attacked Smallville, Kansas and Lois Lane conveyed Jor-El's plot to destroy Zod's ship to Hamilton and Colonel Hardy. They took Superman’s ship aboard a plane and flew to Metropolis where Zod's forces were attacking the city. Faora jumped aboard their plane and threw out Lois and was about to kill Hamilton and Hardy soon after. Hamilton activated the Phantom Drive with House of El key Lois tried to insert just as Hardy flew the plane directly into Zod’s ship, sucking his forces into the Phantom Zone, through a Phantom energy singularity.
Abilities
- Expert Scientist: Dr. Hamilton was a highly skilled and experienced scientist, as he quickly understood the science behind Phantom Drives' collision after just a few explanatory words from Superman, almost instantly understood the function of the World Engine after seeing it in action, and was able to successfully adjust a crucial panel on Superman's infant starship (making the insertion of the Command Key possible), despite being barely familiar with the sophisticated alien technology behind it.
