The first Hunter first appeared in Adventure Comics #358 (July 1967). Otto Orion is a master hunter on the planet Simballi where he became its sole ruler. Hoping to find new prey to hunt, he hunts the Legion of Super-Heroes, and is killed in battle.
The second Hunter first appeared in Superboy (1st series) #199 (November 1973). Adam Orion is the son of Otto Orion, who blamed the Legion for his father's death and tried to get revenge on them, but was thwarted by Bouncing Boy. Some years later, he joined the extended Legion of Super-Villains gathered by Nemesis Kid.
In Final Crisis, he was among the supervillains in Superman-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains.
Neither version of Hunter had any actual powers, but they were both master hunters and trackers.
The Adam Orion incarnation of Hunter appears in Legion of Super Heroes, voiced by Khary Payton. This version has a thick Australian accent.
