Hourglass
Hourglass is the name of two characters in the Epsilon Universe.

Michael Coven
Michael Coven was the first person to call himself Hourglass. He was the first person to ever put on a costume and begin fighting crime, active from 1932-1940. He operated in a similar way as a detective and was known for his incredible ability to interrogate and intimidate criminals into exposing themselves. He mainly targeted members of the mafia, most notably mob boss Evil Otto, who attempted to have him killed and who he shot in the middle of the street for it. While Hourglass was arrested for Otto's murder and went through a trial, all eye witnesses pretended they had saw nothing and the jury deemed him not guilty despite the overwhelming evidence. This turned out to be his claim to fame, inspiring several people and criminals to don costumes and become superheroes and villains like him, most notably his archenemy, the pyromaniac serial killer Fireman, and his sidekick, Chrono, the former dying shortly after Hourglass's own death by being stabbed in the throat and the latter leaving to join the military during World War II. Hourglass also died during World War II, as he switched his primary target to Nazi and white supremacist groups based out of America. For this, members of those movements cornered him during one of his nightly outings and shot him in the back of the head before unmasking him, revealing his identity as Michael Coven, a local reporter who wasn't respected for reporting on and printing gossip columns.

Jane Doe
In the modern day, a new person has appeared using the Hourglass identity and a new version of the costume to fight crime. Before this, Hourglass had become the subject of several forms of media that characterized him as mentally ill and a loner, which was a gross oversimplification of the truth. Although she refuses to speak to most people, like the original Hourglass, the new woman under the name is suspected to have been motivated by these adaptions, either inspired by the story or not liking Hourglass' portrayal in them and wanting to "redeem" the name. The latter seems to be more likely, as she is noted as having turned herself into police and allowed for a full phsych exam, which proved she was completely mentally stable, before promptly escaping.

Naomi did not have the best relationship with her mother or sister, as her father had died when she was young, forcing her mother to work overtime and pushing Naomi into more of a maternal role than a sisterly or daughterly one. After finding out Janet had been committing various petty crimes, Naomi allowed the stress of the situation get to her and she blew up at her family, leaving for college days later. Naomi majored in law, opening up her own firm, and began attending group therapy sessions where she met and fell in love with Patrick Grey.

Voltage
Ashton Laurence "Ash" Grey is the son of Patrick and Katherine Grey as well as the step-son of Naomi Hathaway. After the death of his mother due to complications related to anemia, Ash began acting up in school and eventually befriended a more violent student named Kenny Keen, who repeatedly took advantage of Ash's mental state. After his father was also killed in a car accident, Ash attempted to rob a chemical plant with Kenny, only for Kenny to leave him behind after an alarm was triggered. For two years, Ash was held in juvenile hall and upon being released decided to turn his life around, helping around the house and getting into Zane Hamilton University, where he met his best friend Triss Kuyani and her own friends, Rebecca Barker and Mike Brady, the former eventually becoming his girlfriend and the latter being his main rival for a good portion of his life. Together they formed a band they dubbed Telltale Heart and began practicing in a warehouse, where Ash one day saw a group of criminals attempting to buy the gene-mutating Magnifica bomb. During a scuffle, the bomb was set off and Ash was launched into an electrical generator, mutating his genes and granting him eletrokinetic abilities. Since then, Ash has become the premier hero of Los Angeles, Voltage.

Voltage is most well known for his upbeat personality, which rubs off on those around him, and the fact he seems to be in a positive mood even during the most intense of fights. One of the most famous scenes in Voltage comics was in his second issue when during his first fight with the supervillain Shrapnel, he appears to be crying from the pain he's in only to look up and reveal he is actually laughing because he's having so much fun, which has been homaged in multiple adaptions of the character. It has been noted by various characters that when Voltage isn't smiling, something has gone horribly wrong. Voltage's powers on the surface are electrokinesis, which allows him to blast electricity out of various parts of his body and bend electromagnetic waves to pseudo-fly and control metal (though the metal must be magnetic and he must make physical contact with it first), but Voltage's powers act much more like a battery, as it is possible for him to run out of electricity and have to recharge it, either by draining electrical equipment, breaking it in the process, or passively absorbing ionized particles.
