Dial H for Hero is a comic book feature published by DC Comics about a magical dial that enables an ordinary person to become a superhero for one hour.
The dial causes its possessor to become a new superhero with a name, costume and powers each time it is used. These superheroes are usually brand-new, but on occasion the dial causes its owner to become a duplicate of an existing superhero, such as Plastic Man.
The original owner of the dial is Robby Reed, a teenager from Littleville, Colorado, who discovers the dial in a cavern and quickly uses it to protect Littleville under the guises of numerous superheroes.
Later, two other dials are discovered by teenagers Christopher King and Victoria Grant of the New England town of Fairfax. King and Grant thus begin protecting Fairfax from any number of menaces, and eventually they even meet Robby Reed.
Though their dials had only four letters where the original had ten (the Wizard had seemingly learned from his mistakes as Robby), and their transformations were limited to an hour's duration, Chris' and Vicki's transformations were as colorful and bizarre as Robby's.
Hero is currently still using her H-Dial as his source of power, sometimes as a member of the Titans L.A. He has recently learned to master it better, now being able to choose his super-powers deliberately.
The three heroes flew off, not noticing the night watchman, who was trying to attract their attention, believing he had something that the whole future of humanity might depend on.
