The '''Faceless Hunters''' are a race of alien supervillains in the [[DC Comics]] universe that first appeared in ''[[Strange Adventures]]'' #124 (January 1961). They were created by [[Gardner Fox]] and [[Mike Sekowsky]]. The Faceless Hunters hail from Klaramar, the word Klar-a-mar breaks down into "clear of imperfection". Klar is the [[German language]] term for "clear", and "mar" can mean either blemish or imperfection.

The Faceless Hunters first come to public attention in 1961 after one of them, '''Klee Pan''', is intercepted trying to steal major world sculptures such as the [[Mount Rushmore]] heads and the [[Easter Island]] statues. [[Oregon]] [[highway patrol|Highway Patrolmen]] Bob Colby and Jim Boone are assigned to Mount Rushmore, and confront Klee Pan, who explains that he '''comes from Klaramar - a world revolving within an atom on the planet [[Saturn]]''' and he is looking for a stone face left on Earth millennia ago which can help prevent Saturn exploding. He reveals that an evil Faceless Hunter, '''Chun Yull''',<ref>Note: who has a name problem - he is initially called '''Chan Yull''' in ''Strange Adventures'' #124, but Chen Yull throughout the rest of the story, Chun Yull in ''Strange Adventures'' #142, and Chan Yull throughout ''Strange Adventures'' #152, then '''Chun Yull''' again in ''DC Presents'' #77 - 78 and thereafter</ref> has planted an 'ultimate energy time-bomb' and threatened to detonate it unless he is made supreme ruler, but died giving no clues as to where the face, which can defuse the bomb, was hidden. Boone deduces that the face is on [[The Moon]], and Klee Pan takes Colby and Boone there and then to Saturn - after cutting the face from the Moon's surface. When the face is destroyed by a trap set by Chun Yull, the patrolmen help reconstruct it (using an [[astronomy]] book Boone happens to have had in the patrol car), disarm the bomb and save the planet. The Faceless Hunters replace the face on the Moon in gratitude, and Klee Pan gives both men telepathic abilities.<ref name="autogenerated1961">"The Face Hunter From Saturn" in ''Strange Adventures'' #124 (January 1961)</ref>

Having in fact teleported himself to Saturn instead of dying, Chun Yull later revives and vows revenge on the patrolmen who had thwarted him, and on Earth. He captures Colby and Boone and builds a new bomb, then teleports them all to Klaramar, where Klee Pan once again foils Chun Yull and returns Colby and Boone to Earth.<ref>"The Return of the Faceless Creature", ''Strange Adventures'' #142 (July 1962)</ref> A year later, Chun Yull telepathically commands Colby and Boone to build a machine which increases his size and transports him to Earth again, which he threatens to destroy unless he is made 'Earth Citizen Number One'.

Meanwhile, Colby and Boone manage to beam themselves to Klaramar and Klee Pan saves Earth and again captures Chun Yull.<ref>"Threat of the Faceless Creature", ''Strange Adventures'' #153 (June 1963)</ref>

When [[Starro]] invaded the planet, the faceless citizens found themselves immune to the Starro parasites. However, the Faceless Hunter strikes a deal with Starro to destroy his own planet in exchange for becoming Starro's herald. Ever since, he traveled across the universe, preparing planets for Starro's destruction before eventually coming to Earth. While the Faceless Hunter manages to defeat most of Earth's heroes and starts to prepare draining the planet's energy for Starro, he is foiled by [[Batman]], [[Booster Gold]], [[Captain Marvel (DC Comics)|Captain Marvel]], [[Firestorm (comics)|Firestorm]], and [[B'wana Beast]]. Undeterred, the Faceless Hunter captures B'wana Beast and uses his powers to combine the Starro parasites into one giant monster capable of destroying planets and draining energy on its own.

Strange Adventures #142, artist Murphy Anderson.
Main article: Strange Adventures

The Faceless Hunters first come to public attention in 1961 after one of them, Klee Pan, attempts to steal major world sculptures such as the Mount Rushmore heads and the Easter Island statues. Oregon police officers Bob Colby and Jim Boone confront Pan, who explains that he comes from Klaramar, a microscopic world on the planet Saturn, and seeks an ancient stone face to stop it from exploding. He reveals that an evil Faceless Hunter, Chun Yull,[1] threatens to destroy Earth with a time bomb unless he is made its supreme ruler. Colby and Boone stop the bomb, after which Pan rewards them with telepathic abilities.[2] Chun Yull returns on several occasions, but is continually defeated.[3][4]
