Curtis Metcalf ( Hardware ) is a fictional superhero published by DC Comics. An original character from DC's Milestone Comics imprint, he first appeared in Hardware #1 (February 1993), and was created by Dwayne McDuffie and Denys Cowan. Hardware was the first of Milestone's titles to be published, and (along with Blood Syndicate, Icon, and Static) was one of the company's flagship titles.

Hardware makes a cameo appearance in issue #7 the Superman & Batman Magazine.

Hardware makes non-speaking appearances in Young Justice: Outsiders. This version is initially a member of the Justice League before joining Batman, among other Leaguers, in resigning due to U.N. secretary-general Lex Luthor's restrictions preventing the League from interfering in metahuman trafficking rings.

Hardware can be included in the discourse of Afrofuturism based on its adherence to Mark Dery's definition of "speculative fiction that treats African-American themes and addresses African-American concerns in the context of 20th century technoculture—and, more generally, African-American signification that appropriates images of technology and a prosthetically enhanced future".

Curtis Metcalf re-purposes technology as a force of liberation, fighting against the evil Edwin Alva. As Hardware, he uses his superhuman understanding and fluency with technology as a form of agency. Hardware's status as a superhero, through the manipulation of technology, is a means of transcending the digital divide.
