Horn of Gabriel
Magical horn from DC Comics, first seen in the "You Can't Say No To The Angle Of Death!"(Or Can You?)" story of Teen Titans #45 (December 1976). The horn was bestowed upon Teen Titan pal Malcolm "Mal" Duncan by Azrael, the Angel of Death, after Duncan defeated him in a battle for his life. Blowing the horn either summons help, or makes Duncan the equal of whoever he's fighting. The catch is, if he ever loses a battle, Duncan will die and Azrael will come claim his soul. Duncan chooses the superhero name Hornblower and fights crime 'n' stuff.
In the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths timeline, the Horn has a different origin. After defeating a villain, Duncan finds plans for a high-tech horn that creates spatial warps. He builds the horn and becomes the superhero Herald. Learning the horn weakens the boundary between the mortal world and Limbo, he destroys it and retires.
Duncan also ran a restaurant/club called Gabriel's Horn that was the HQ for the Teen Titans.
