I thought the Hood belonged to Archie Comics...

You're probably thinking of the Black Hood which according to my "Who's Who in the Impact Universe" there has been three plus one that was introduced into DC's than mainstream universe (Pre-New 52) with his own different origin. There is a a character called the Hood in the DC comics however this one is modeled after Robin Hood and is a member of Batman Incorporated.

The Hood I'm talking about is Parker Robbins, who came into possession of a cloak and a pair of boots after killing a demon which granted him invisibility (by holding his breath) and levitation, the demon that previously owned the items would take over Robbins' body during times of stress giving him superhuman strength, speed, and energy blasts. It was revealed though that his powers came from one of Doctor Strange's greatest nemesis Dormammu and lost them during an exorcism.

He has also used the Infinity Gems and Norn stones following the loss of his demonic powers and is currently using Hydra and AIM tech. He's been a member of Osborn's Cabal and has even led his own criminal empire comprised of supervillains including at least three villains that have made there debut in the MCU universe: Turk Burrett, the Purple Man, and Graviton (who in the MCU universe is Franklin Hall still trapped in his Gravitonium)

Here is a full list of the other criminals that were under his control:
