Hawkmanis the name of severalsuperheroesappearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byDC Comics.Created by writerGardner Foxand artistDennis Neville,the original Hawkman first appeared inFlash Comics#1, published byAll-American Publicationsin 1940.
Several incarnations of Hawkman have appeared in DC Comics, all of them characterized by the use of archaic weaponry and by large, artificial wings, attached to a harness made from the special Nth metal that allows flight. Most incarnations of Hawkman work closely with a partner/romantic interest namedHawkgirlorHawkwoman.
Hawkman is most often depicted as human archaeologistCarter Hall—the modern-day reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince named Khufu—or asThanagarianpolice officerKatar Holfrom the planet Thanagar. The character is generally regarded as having one of the most confusing backstories of any in DC Comics, due to a series of reinventions over the years following DC's 1985 seriesCrisis on Infinite Earths.
The character has been adapted into other media numerous times, with significant appearances in the animatedJustice League Unlimitedcartoon, which featured Hawkgirl as a main character, as well as severalDC Universe Original Animated Movies.
In live action, the character first appeared onscreen in the two-part 1979 TV specialLegends of the Superheroesby Bill Nuckols appearing alongside Adam West and Burt Ward as allies Batman and Robin. Hawkman was later portrayed byMichael ShanksinSmallvilleand byFalk HentschelinThe CW'sArrowversefamily of shows, with both versions favoring the ancient Egyptian version of the character. Hawkman made his cinematic debut portrayed byAldis Hodgein 2022'sBlack Adamset in theDC Extended Universe.
Publication history[edit]
Hawkman first appeared inFlash Comics#1 (1940), and was a featured character in that title throughout the 1940s. This Hawkman wasCarter Hall,areincarnationof theancient Egyptianprince Khufu. Hall discovered that the mysterious "ninth metal" (later changed simply to "Nth metal" ) could negate the effects ofgravityand allow him to fly. He donned a costume with large wings to allow him to control his flight and became the crimefighter, Hawkman. He also had a companion hawk named Big Red that assisted him in fighting crime. Anarchaeologistby profession, Hall used ancient weapons from themuseumthat he curated.
Hawkman was a charter member of theJustice Society of America,beginning withAll Star Comics#3 (Winter 1940). In issue #8 he became the JSA's chairman, a position he held until the end of the JSA's run inAll Star Comicsin 1951. He was the only member of the JSA to appear in every adventure during theGolden Age of Comic Books.He romanced his reincarnated bride, Shiera Saunders, who became the crimefighterHawkgirl.His first three adventures were drawn by creatorDennis Neville(who modeled Hawkman's costume on the hawkmen characters in theFlash Gordoncomic strip byAlex Raymond), then bySheldon Moldoff,and later byJoe Kubert,who slightly redesigned his mask inFlash Comics# 85 (Jul 1947) and then, one year later, replaced the winged-hawk-like mask with a much simpler yellow cowl inFlash Comics#98 (Aug 1948).
Along with most other superheroes, Hawkman's Golden Age adventures came to an end when the industry turned away from the genre in the early 1950s. His last appearance was inAll Star Comics#57 (1951).
Later in the decade, DC Comics, under editorJulius Schwartz,decided to revive a number of heroes in new incarnations, but retaining the same names and powers. Following the success of theFlashandGreen Lantern,the name "Hawkman" was revived inThe Brave and the Bold# 34 (Feb–Mar 1961), this time as analienpolice officerfrom the planet Thanagar, though his powers were largely the same. Created byGardner FoxandJoe Kubert,this Hawkman namedKatar Holcame to Earth with his wife Shayera in pursuit of a criminal, and decided to remain on Earth to study earth police methods as well as fight crime. They adopted the names Carter and Shiera Hall and became curators of a museum in Midway City.
This Hawkman became a member of theJustice Leagueof America in issue #31, where he often verbally sparred with the iconoclasticliberalheroGreen Arrow.In the 1960s, it was revealed that the original Hawkman lived on theparallel worldofEarth-Two,and that Katar Hol lived onEarth-One.The JLA and JSA had an annual meeting throughout the 1960s and 1970s during which the two heroes often met.

TheSilver AgeHawkman had his own series for a few years in the '60s, but with declining sales it ended at issue #27 and was then merged with that of theAtom.Atom and Hawkmanlasted only another year or so before cancellation.
In the late 1970s inShowcaseandWorld's Finest Comics,Thanagar went to war with the planetRann,the adopted home ofAdam Strange.This led to Hawkman and Hawkwoman severing ties with their homeworld, and later fightingThe Shadow War of Hawkman(written byTony Isabella) as theThanagarianstried secretly to conquer the Earth.
The landmark 1985 seriesCrisis on Infinite Earthsresulted in a massive revision of much of DC continuity and led to many characters being substantially rewritten. Hawkman was to suffer some of the greatest confusion as successive writers sought to explain his various appearances. In the revised timeline there was a single Earth which had witnessed the JSA in the 1940s and the JLA decades later. Successive revisions sought to establish exactly who had been Hawkman and Hawkwoman at different stages. For the first few years the pre-Crisis incarnations were still used, during which time they were prominent across the DC Universe and joined the latest incarnation of the Justice League.
DC decided torebootHawkman, in a limited series (which later led to an ongoing series) titledHawkworldoriginally byTim Truman,and laterJohn Ostrander.In this series, Thanagar was a stratified society which conquered other worlds to enrich itself. Katar Hol was the son of a prominent official who rebelled against the status quo. He and his partner Shayera were sent to Earth and remained there for some years until Hol was apparently killed.
This created several continuity errors. Because the new Katar Hol had only just arrived on Earth, someone else had to have been Hawkman previously. In an attempt to resolve the problem it was established throughretconsthat the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl had continued to operate sporadically after their supposed retirement in 1951 through the 1990s, and that Nth metal originally came from Thanagar. The Halls, and not the Hols, joined the original incarnation of the JLA. Another Hawkman—Fel Andar, a Thanagarian agent—had been the one who joined the Justice League during the 1980s, pretending to be a hero but secretly spying on the League for his Thanagarian masters.
TheZero Hourminiseries muddied the waters further by merging the different Hawkmen into a "Hawkgod", who was the focus character in the third volume of the monthlyHawkmanseries. This version of Hawkman also had a small role in the alternate-future seriesKingdom Come.After the end of this series, Hawkman'scontinuitywas considered by DC to be too complicated,[citation needed]and he was absent from comics for several years.
In the late 1990s, theJSAseries untangled Hawkman's continuity, establishing him as Carter Hall, a man who—along with Shiera—had been reincarnated dozens of times since his life in ancient Egypt, and whose powers were derived from Thanagarian Nth metal, which had been retroactively renamed from "ninth metal". The Katar Hol of theHawkworldseries had also come to Earth during the 1990s, as previously established. The 1980s Hawkman Fel Andar returned to Thanagar. The Hawkgod was later revealed to be an avatar of the Hawk aspect of the Red (from whichAnimal Manreceives his powers) and only believed that he was Hawkman.[citation needed]
During theIdentity Crisisminiseries, it was established that Hawkman (Carter Hall) had encouraged themindwipeofDoctor Lightand had actually been the one to initially suggest the idea. His role in the mindwipe was the basis for his enmity withGreen Arrow,who felt that interfering with an individual's right to self-determination was beyond the moral right of any organization or government.
Subsequently, Hawkman was reincarnated and given a new series in 2002 entitledHawkmanvol. 4, written initially byJames RobinsonandGeoff Johns,with art byRags Morales.Justin GrayandJimmy Palmiottitook over writing duties during the third year of the series. In 2006, the series was retitledHawkgirlwith issue #50 and given a new creative team ofWalt SimonsonandHoward Chaykin.This series was cancelled with issue #66 in July 2007.
Hawkman was a major character in theRann–Thanagar Warminiseries, which stemmed from events inCountdown to Infinite Crisis.During this time his continuity was further changed (see Carter Hall section below).
The character then received a new series spinning out ofDark Nights: Metal,helmed byRobert VendittiandBryan Hitch.[1]
Fictional character biographies[edit]
Carter Hall[edit]
In the days ofancient Egypt,Prince Khufu is engaged in a feud with his rival, theEgyptianpriestHath-Set.The priest eventually captures both Khufu and his consort Chay-Ara, and kills them using a cursed dagger of Nth metal. Millennia later, in 1940, Khufu is reincarnated asAmericanarchaeologistCarter Hall,Chay-Ara as Shiera Saunders, and Hath-Set as scientist Anton Hastor. After touching the same Nth Metal dagger used to kill Khufu, Carter regains the memories of his former life and realizes Hastor is the reincarnation of his ancient foe. When Hastor kidnaps Shiera, using a magic spell to draw her to his lair, Hall uses his newly-refound memories to craft a gravity-defying belt using Nth metal and a winged costume to become Hawkman. Carter successfully rescues Shiera, Anton is killed by electrocution, and Carter and Saunders begin a romantic relationship.
Carter Hall and Shiera Saunders had a son together, named Hector Hall, who grew up to also have a superheroic identity as Silver Scarab and later adopted the mantle ofDr. Fate.Hector Hall was a member of the superhero groups Infinity Inc. and the JSA, where he served alongside his father.
Katar Hol[edit]
Katar Holis an honoredpolice officeron his homeworld of Thanagar. Along with his wife Shayera, they use the anti-gravity belts and their wings to fly and fight criminals. These were the tools of an elite police unit tasked to track and apprehend the most dangerous criminals. The pair were sent to Earth in 1961 to capture the shape-shifting criminalByth.Following this mission, they elected to remain on Earth to work with authorities in theUnited Statesand learn human police methods. The two adopted covers as a pair ofmuseumcurators, Carter and Shiera Hall, and acted publicly as the second Hawkman and the secondHawkgirl(later Hawkwoman).
Although initially depicted as surviving theCrisis on Infinite Earthsintact, Katar Hol wasrebootedjust a few years afterwards in a prestige-formatminiseriesnamedHawkworld,byTimothy Truman.A regular ongoing series of the same name followed, with writerJohn Ostranderjoining Truman. Katar Hol, a youngpoliceofficer on the planet Thanagar, rebels against the oppressive system of his planet and is sent into exile. He later escapes and uncovers a renegade police captainByth.As a result, he is reinstated into the force, given a new partner, Shayera Thal, and sent on a mission on Earth, where he is the third Hawkman.
In DC'sThe New 52universe, Hawkman is Katar Hol but uses the name Carter Hall.
Fel Andar[edit]
Late in the 1980s, ThanagarianspyFel Andar—who had been living on Earth for some time already—fell in love with an Earth woman, Sharon Parker, and they had a son named Charley. Andar was ordered by the Thanagarian government to infiltrate the Justice League and Parker's memories were altered so that she believed she was Hawkwoman and believed that her son was "Carter Hall Jr." instead of Andar's son. Charley Andar later took up the name Hawkman to honor his "father" whom he believed to be Carter Hall. When Parker's old memories surface, she exposed Andar's infiltration plot; Andar murdered her and fled to Thanagar. Andar later returned to Earth to help his son become the hero known asGolden Eagle,and saved his life once before being recaptured and returned to Thanagar.
Zauriel[edit]
WhenGrant Morrisonrevived theJLAcomic book in 1997, they expanded the roster to include over a dozen heroes. With frequent collaboratorMark Millar,they intended to create a new Hawkman with no links to the old characters. This new Hawkman, an Earth-bound angel of the "Eagle host" namedZauriel,was to be introduced into the JLA with issue #6 (June 1997). Morrison was denied permission to use the name "Hawkman" by DC editorial, which still considered it "radioactive", due to the complex post-Crisis continuity problems with the character.
In theWizardJLA Special,Morrison made an appeal to the fanbase, "It's a good name and it seems a shame to let it go to waste. We're hoping that fans will figure 'For God's sake, let's just call him Hawkman and get him in the Justice League as Hawkman,' and the editors will relent. We're hoping to start a campaign." DC held firm, and the "Hawkman" name went unused for several more years.[2]
Charley Parker[edit]
Originally theTeen Titansmember calledGolden Eagle,Charley Parkerwas presumed deceased after an attack by theWildebeest Societyduring the event known asTitans Hunt.He was later revealed to be alive in the fourth volume ofHawkmanand went on to assist the Carter Hall Hawkman for some time. When Carter Hall seemingly perished, Charley Parker took on the mantle and became the fourth Hawkman, and revealed himself as the son of Carter Hall. In fact, he was actually the son of Fel Andar, and had been responsible for Carter's troubles and his apparent demise. Carter Hall eventually defeated the Golden Eagle, their vendetta was later dropped, and Carter Hall reclaimed his mantle.
Powers and abilities[edit]
All incarnations of Hawkman used the fictional "ninth metal" or "Nth metal" to defygravityand allow them tofly.The metal is in their costume's belt, boots, and wings. Its abilities are controlled mentally. Their wings allow them to control their flight, though they can be "flapped" through use of shoulder motions. In most comic books, Hawkman is known to have slightlyenhanced physical strength.
TheGolden AgeHawkman was also granted the ability tobreathe underwaterby the sea godPoseidon.[3]He also discovered a hidden kingdom ofsentientbirdsled by the old One-Eye, who taught him their language and later sacrificed himself to save Hawkman's life.[4]Among the leading birds was ahawknamed Big Red who became a companion and even helped the Golden Age Hawkman solve crimes.[5]
TheSilver AgeHawkman also had enhanced senses comparable to a hawk's. He, and sometimes the Golden Age Hawkman as well, was also able to converse with birds, though not command them in the same way that, say,Aquamancould command sea creatures. Hawkman also wore special contact lenses that allowed him to detect beams and radiation.[6]
The Silver Age Hawkman also possessed aThanagarianpolice space ship and a variety ofscience fictionalweapons.
All versions of Hawkman prefer to usearchaic weaponry—particularlymaces,nets,spears,andshields—rather than modern or futuristic weapons. The current incarnation prefers this in part because, having the memories of having lived throughmany past lives,he is more proficient in their use than with contemporary weapons. In Katar Hol's case, it was too dangerous to use Thanagarian weaponry since there was too great a chance they could be lost or captured and then used or duplicated on Earth. There is, however, one significantly unique weapon Carter employs occasionally: the Claw of Horus. Constructed of Nth metal by Prince Khufu inancient Egypt,it was delivered to the newly resurrected Carter Hall by the time-displacedJay GarrickinJSABook 3: "The Return of Hawkman". Later, inSuperman-BatmanBook 1: "Public Enemies", Hawkman used it to defeatSuperman,using its Nth metal to channel the Earth's gravitational field. As he explained to Superman, "Essentially, I just hit you with the planet."
All versions of Hawkman have shown enhanced levels of strength. The Golden Age Hawkman was said to have the strength of 12 men but later that idea was dropped. Where as the Golden Age Hawkman's strength appeared natural, it was later explained (with the Silver AgeHawkman) that the Nth metal enables its wielders to carry great weights. The recent incarnation has interpreted this as the Nth metal simply enhancing the strength of the user. Also, several JLA and JSA stories indicate that Thanagar has greater gravity than Earth, and that Thanagarians are naturally stronger than humans because they are adapted to it, similarly to howAtlanteans(e.g.Aquaman) are adapted todeep sea pressures.
It has also been explained in theJSAseries that the Nth metal greatly aids in healing,closing wounds almost instantaneously.One example is in theJLAstory "Crisis of Conscience", in issues 115–118, when Carter's arm is nearly severed during one part of the issue, but the wound has obviously closed and functionality returned by the end of the issue.The Atomhas commented that Hawkman laughs at anything less thanthird-degree burns.
The Nth metal also regulates thebody temperatureof the wearer, preventing the need for heavy protective clothing while inhigh altitudes.It also has the property of radiating heat, which can be controlled to warm the wearer in colder climates.[7]
Other versions[edit]
- During the chronal disruptions ofZero Hour,multiple versions of Hawkman (andHawkgirl/Hawkwoman) from alternate timelines were appearing in and out of existence. It turns out the Hawks were one of many anomalies in the timestream resulting from the Crisis. Somehow the various versions were converged into the current reality's Katar Hol.
- A Hawkman evolved fromRobinin theJust Imagine...comic book.[8]This version was a humanoid hawk, similar toNorthwind.
- Hawkman'sAnti-matter Earthcounterpart is Blood Eagle. He was killed by the Crime Syndicate.[9]It is unclear whether he is a Thanagarian (like Katar Hol) or a human (like Carter Hall).
Awards[edit]
The series and character have won several awards over the years, including:
- 1961 Alley AwardforBest Adventure Hero/Heroine Not in Own Book
- 1962 Alley AwardforBest Hero
- 1963 Alley AwardforCross-Over of DC Heroes(The Brave and the Boldwith theFlash)
Reception[edit]
Hawkman was ranked as the 118th-greatest comic book character of all time byWizardmagazine.[10]IGNalso ranked Hawkman as the 56th-greatest comic book hero of all time, stating that the best part of Hawkman is his incredibly short fuse. IGN also described him as a complete and total badass.[11]
