Hector Hall is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway, he made his first appearance in All-Star Squadron #25 (September, 1983). Throughout the character's history, he has adopted several superhero codenames.In the DC Universe, the character is frequently associated with the legacy of the Golden Age heroes Hawkman and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl, either as their biological or spiritual offspring. This connection stems from the character's inherited abilities related to reincarnation.

In the character's earliest comic book portrayal, he is the son of Carter Hall and Shiera Sanders. He takes on the superhero persona of the Silver Scarab, joining Infinity, Inc. and forming a romantic relationship with Fury. Tragically, the character is ultimately killed as a result of actions orchestrated by Hath-Set, a longstanding enemy of the Hawk family. The character's soul later inhabits Garret Sandford's body after his suicide, becoming the second Sandman. He reunites with Lyta and friends but is later returned to the realm of the deceased by the Morpheus. During his time as Sandman, the character and Lyta bore a child named Daniel Hall, conceived in the Dreaming. Daniel would eventually become the next Lord of the Dreaming, succeeding Morpheus.

In the character's third incarnation, he is the biological child of Hank Hall (not related to Carter Hall) and Dawn Granger, also known as Hawk and Dove. He is magically aged to adulthood and becomes the sixth person to assume the Doctor Fate mantle, taking over from Jared Stevens. Hector, as the heroic sorcerer, is regarded as potentially the most powerful but faces challenges in proving his abilities in the role. The character later reunites with his lover and maintains his relationship with Hawkman, considering him a father figure. Eventually, the character meets his demise once more, his spirit and Lyta's ascending back to the Dreaming with their son from his previous iteration, Daniel. A fourth incarnation is firist introduced in the backup of Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow limited series. This incarnation, named Hektor Hol, is reintroduced as the son of Hawkman (Katar Hol) and Hawkwoman (Shayera Hol (nee Thal)).

Hector Hall would make his first media appearance in the first season of the Netflix drama series The Sandman (2022), portrayed by Lloyd Everitt.
