A Phony Hourman is the fifth agent. His mission? Take out Hourman (the real one that is)
Didn't we already do this plot?
Someone dressed up as Hourman is running amuck, leading the police to assume that the Man of the Hour has gone crooked, or else gaining superpowers from drugs is somehow a bad idea.
Of course, the fake is just a decoy with the idea to lure the deal out so a bunch of thugs can ambush him. They seem to have forgotten about the whole crazy strong for an hour bit and thus he easily mops the floor with the punks.
Not a very well thought out idea, was it?
