History

Prior History

In Horus #101; Crisis In Cloudland, Horus met the Cloudlander siblings Nimbus and Cirrus. As Professor Whittaker Falcon, he almost fell to his death, but survived after reciting the Pnakotic Chant.

Twelve Hours To Dawn

In 1963, Horus had fought against and defeated Termagant after shackling his brother Typhon. Afterwards, he returned to Midtown College under his civilian guise Professor Whittaker Falcon. Later, he had transformed back into Horus and summoned the Barge of a Million Years and was followed by his student Janet Jones to Heliopolis. His uncle Set had drugged the crew of the barge so that Ra would sail unprotected into the night, so Horus boarded the barge and moments later, realized he was followed by Janet. They passed through the twelve hours of the night, encountering enemies such as Nehebkau, Astarte, and Anubis, until they returned to Heliopolis at dawn. His grandmother Nut and his mother Isis began to punish him and his female companion, when his father Osiris claimed that she was owed thanks for taking the helm of the barge. They returned to Midtown College, where Janet woke up and had no knowledge of Horus and Professor Falcon being the same person. Professor Falcon received a letter from Inframan before Janet left.

From Here To Alternity

Horus, along with his fellow members of the Tomorrow Syndicate, arrived at the Tomorrow Complex after being summoned by Inframan. Inframan had tracked a radiation signal coming from Greenwich, New York; the same kind that came from weapons that he had received from Fury after fighting the Voidoid. They followed the signal, entering the Mystery Mile. Then, they entered a portal that lead to the Time-Stream. They met the Victory Vanguard from the 1940's, including a past version of U.S.A. After leaving the Time-Stream, they arrived in a reality, where they fought against the Tomorrow Gang and the Orbiteer. They returned to the Time-Stream and eventually ended up in a reality, where the radiation signal was said to be present.
