History Characters / Hawkman

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He killed the Thanagarian cult leader Kartez, who was originally Thanagar's Supreme Holy Minster, for trying to control him.
-->'''Thasaro:''' ''[blasts Kartez]'' ''I am slave to '''no''' man!''\\
'''Kartez:''' D-dread Thasaro! My L-lord and m-master! I-I have served you w-well... b-rought you home... W-hy have y-you forsaken me...

* AffablyEvil: He is very polite towards his allies, and his enemies too if he isn't fighting them at that moment. He is so sociable that was even invited to Captain Cold's amnesty party despite not being a Flash rogue.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Changed from green-eyed redhead to blue-eyed blonde in the New 52.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silver_scarab_dc_comics_hall_who_machlan_ordway.jpg]]
!!!'''Alter Ego:''' Hector Hall
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''All-Star Squadron'' #25 (September 1983)

* AlliterativeName: '''H'''ector '''H'''all
* AnimalSuperheroes: Silver ''Scarab''.
* BadassNormal: Yup. But's he's not too happy about not having powers.
* BrokenAce: He's got brains, he's got looks, he's got talent. He even has the love of a beautiful woman, but his upbringing and the latent jealousy towards people with powers made him a rather unhappy person. Also, that "not having a soul" thing.
* CainAndAbel: Never very fond of his childhood friend/godbrother Northwind. This descended into outright enmity after Hector died and the Silver Scarab entity came forth, since Norda was destined to stop his evil.
* CameBackStrong: Came back as the ersatz "Sandman", died again then came back as Doctor Fate. So that worked out okay... for a while.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Lyta Trevor aka Fury, one of his "JSA brat" playmates as a kid.
* TheChosenOne: Except chosen by the evil god Setekh, in his case.
* ColorCharacter: ''Silver'' Scarab
%%* CursedWithAwesome[=/=]BlessedWithSuck
* DidntSeeThatComing: Silver Scarab's ultimate defeat hinged upon the fact that he and Hector were unaware of Lyta's pregnancy. (He would've killed her and severed Hector's last link to humanity if he'd known).
* GadgeteerGenius: He designed his own PoweredArmor, and was one of the brains of the team.
* HotBlooded: Extremely brash with an awful temper, he gets viciously competitive.
* ImperfectRitual: Hector Hall was born soulless, intended by the evil god Setekh to lose all of his humanity and have his body sacrificed, fusing the remaining "pure" inhuman consciousness with the Eye of Ra to wreak untold destruction. Lyta Hall's pregnancy, however, stirred something within Hector -- something he shouldn't have had -- that kept his humanity from being entirely drained. When the Eye was activated, it sensed the impurity within Scarab and refused to obey him, beginning to go wild.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Angry, impetuous, competitive, overconfident... Those epaulets on his shoulders may as well be chips -- no, whole ''blocks'' -- but in the end he is on the side of the angels.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: The "JSA brats", under [[HotBlooded Hector]]'s leadership, loudly barged into a particularly serious JSA meeting in costume and all but demanded to be allowed to join, which led to a scuffle as some of the members attacked the confrontational strangers who'd gotten past their security.
* TheMasochismTango: As much as they loved each other, Hector and Lyta's relationship could be this way, as they were both somewhat immature people who frequently bickered.
* NoSell: Powers which affect souls (such as Obsidian's) naturally can't affect him after his humanity is gone.
* NotHimself: Gradually, after entering his twenties, Hector began losing his emotions. This is implied to be due to the machinations of Heth-Set and Sutekh draining away his humanity.
* ParentalAbandonment: Died shortly after Lyta learned she was pregnant.
* ParentalNeglect: His parents' duties as superheroes and work as archaeologists often kept them away from home. This didn't help his rocky relationship with them.
* PoweredArmor: As the Silver Scarab, he used a solar-powered Nth Metal costume that gave him {{Flight}}, SuperStrength, and {{Hand Blast}}s. After being sacrificed by Hath-set, the Silver Scarab was an evil consciousness within an animated suit of armor.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: His armor is solar-powered and its HandBlasts are made of solar energy.
* TheResenter:
** The flightless Hector grew up with parents who could fly. His childhood friend/surrogate brother Northwind was a bird-person who could fly and who sometimes seemed to be closer to Hector's parents than ''he'' was, and his family regularly vacationed in a place full of other (flying) bird-people. This angry child eventually grew into a rather angry adult.
** He's also not happy when Sylvester Pemberton aka Skyman ends up as the leader when Infinity Inc. is formed. He has a point, here, as Hec was the one who led the other youths in confronting their parents about joining the JSA. On the other hand Sylvester has experience both as a Golden Age and modern hero, and is considerably less, uh, [[HotBlooded Hector]].
* ScienceHero: At first he went into pre-med in order to differentiate himself from his father, but his love for science was too strong. As such, he's the team's designated science expert.
* TheSoulless: Thanks to a curse from the evil god-bird-person Setekh, his parents' first incarnations (Khufu and Shiera) were fated to give birth to a soulless child who would wield the Eye of Ra and work great evil as Setekh's cats-paw, ultimately destroying the world. However, in every reincarnation throughout history the pair ended up being killed before they could conceive, until the Halls.
** Averted, however, after Hector got Lyta Hall pregnant. Somehow the act of doing so gave him a soul or something like it, which tied him to humanity, wrecked Setekh's plans, and allowed Hector to linger after his apparent death.
* SpoiledBrat: Raised in wealth and used to having things his own way. Couple that with resentment toward his parents for rarely being around for him.
* StartMyOwn: Even after the events in the LetsYouAndHimFight were sorted out, the JSA declined to let them in, in part due to the impetuous attitude they had shown. So Hector started Infinity Inc.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** Due to his privileged upbringing (and bad attitude in general) Hector didn't get on well with Obsidian. Lyta, during a fight, mentions that he's also clearly jealous of Obsidian for having powers.
** He also deeply resented his god-brother Northwind, due again to his inherent powers and having gained a great deal of Carter Hall's attention.
* ThatManIsDead: After Hector Hall is sacrificed, the entity who he once was insists that he's dead.
* TheUnfavourite: Hector always felt like this compared to Norda (Northwind), Carter and Shiera's godson, because he could not fly with his parents as Norda could.

In the early 20th century, Khufu was reincarnated as American archeologist Carter Hall, who became the costumed hero Hawkman alongside Shiera Saunders as Hawkgirl. Hawkman became one of the founders of the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica and later its chairman. He retired with the rest of the GoldenAge mystery men, but when UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} began, he joined the Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica as a mentor to the younger heroes. After ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', he and the rest of the JSA were banished to Limbo to stave off Ragnarok, but were rescued during ''ComicBook/{{Armageddon 2001}}''; during Hall's absence, Fel Andar and Katar Hol assumed the mantle of Hawkman in succession.

(Before ''Hawkworld'', Carter Hall lived on Earth-Two and had remained a member of the JSA throughout UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|OfComicBooks}} and UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}.)

(Before ''Hawkworld'', Katar and Shayera were married, arrived on Earth in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, and were members of the Justice League through to the International era. After ''Hawkworld'', their place in the pre-International League was taken by Carter and Shiera Hall and in the JLI by Fel Andar and Sharon Parker.)

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|OfComicBooks}}, he could talk with birds as a side-effect from the device that gave him knowledge of Earth.
* StrawCharacter: In UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}, the JLA writers used him as a conservative strawman for ComicBook/GreenArrow to knock down. Post-''Hawkworld'', this trait was passed to Carter Hall.

(Before ''Hawkworld'', Shayera Hol was Katar's wife, came to Earth in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, and joined the JLA in UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}. Post-''Hawkworld'', her place in the JLA was taken by Shiera Hall and in the JLI by Sharon Parker.)

!!!'''Alter Ego:''' Charlie Parker / Ch'al Andar
!!!'''Team Affiliations:''' Justice League of America
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Justice League of America'' (Vol 1) #116 (March 1975)
'''Pre-Crisis''', Charley Parker was a teenage orphan who idolized Hawkman and created his own knock-off costume.

During a time when Hawkman had been called back to Thanagar, someone began capturing low-level criminals around Midway City and proved so capable at it that Hawkman's FriendOnTheForce believed that the real deal had gone undercover rather than into space. The only thing left behind by the unknown vigilante was a single golden feather.

After Green Arrow read a letter Charley had sent the JLA about wanting to meet Hawkman, he decided to visit in lieu of his absent friend and learned that Charley had been accidentally empowered by Matter Master. MM's Mentachem wand, unable to find the actual Hawkman and acting upon the avaricious alchemist's subconscious desire to fight his old foe, had [[ClosestThingWeGot magically altered Charley's costume into a working copy]] which the boy could transform into and out of at will.

After helping the JLA beat Matter Master, Charley was restored to normal... but a few years later, Charley re-adopted his identity, complete with a new pair of wings donated by Hawkman himself, in order to investigate a strange crime alongside other teen heroes as a member of the one-shot team known as Titans West.

'''Post-Crisis''', Charlie Parker was an orphan in Midway City who lived a troubled life of crime, but when he turned 18 he was taken in by Carter Hall, who gave him a job at his museum. Charlie idolized Hawkman, who gave him a Thanagarian battlesuit and trained him to fight crime as Golden Eagle. During an adventure with the ComicBook/TeenTitans, Charlie was apparently killed.

Years later, when Carter had apparently fallen in battle, Charlie resurfaced and took the identity of Hawkman and tried to seduce Kendra Saunders, the new Hawkgirl. She refused his advances and he tried to kill her, but Carter returned and stopped him. Charlie revealed that he was Ch'al Andar, the son of the impostors Fel Andar and Sharon Parker, and wanted revenge on Hawkman in the name of his father. Carter defeated Charlie and brought him to Thanagar for trial.

On Thanagar, Charlie was pardoned and became an officer on the Wingmen. During the Rann-Thanagar War, he was reunited with his father, who pled with him to give up his plans of revenge just before he was killed by Blackfire. He is currently living on Thanagar and has apparently abandoned his crusade against Carter Hall.

* AgeInappropriateDress: Pre-Crisis. Nothing dirty, but making a costume and jumping up and down stairs pretending to be Hawkman isn't exactly normal teenage behavior.
* AndIMustScream: For his interference, Matter Master walled Golden Eagle into a massive calcium deposit, though Flash showed up in time to get him out before he suffocated.
* AscendedFanboy: A fan of Hawkman ends up becoming a hero himself.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Pre-Crisis. After getting captured and nearly suffocating to death at the hands of the Matter Master, Charley cools somewhat on the notion of becoming a hero, at least for awhile.
* CallingCard: In his first appearances, the Pre-Crisis version left a golden feather behind whenever he stopped criminals. Green Arrow (the man with a boxing glove arrow) called this hokey.
* ClosestThingWeGot: Pre-Crisis, Matter Master's mentachem wand reacted to its master's desire to fight Hawkman by altering Charley's homemade Hawkman costume into one closer to the real thing, with the ability to fly.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Post-crisis, he an orphan who was forced to sell drugs until he was kicked out by his foster family.
* DePower: Pre-Crisis, after Matter Master's defeat, Charley is restored to normal by his own choice.
%%* FaceHeelTurn
* {{Flight}}: Thanks to Charley's costume being made into a copy of Hawkman's, he can do this. Later he gets a spare pair of wings from Hawkman himself.
* GreenRocks: Pre-Crisis, he received his first costume and the power to switch into it from mentachem.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Post-Crisis, he's half-Thanagarian on his father's side, and human on his mother's side.
* HeroWorshipper: He always idolized Hawkman before becoming Golden Eagle.
%%* IJustWantToBeSpecial
* InstantCostumeChange: Pre-Crisis, he could instantly switch into and out of his first costume at will.
* KidHero: Only sixteen when he started. In his second appearance he's old enough to be working/trying to make it as an actor, though still apparently a teen.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Matter Master's wand did such a good job re-creating Hawkman's costume that it also recreated Hawkman's JLA signal device, which Charley used to summon the heroes after MM had captured him.
* OlderAlterEgo: Pre-Crisis. When suited up, he looks like a buff adult. The Leaguers were shocked to learn he was a teenager.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Post-crisis, this is the only reason he joined Titans West.
* ParentalAbandonment: He's an orphan.
* PunchClockHero: Post-Crisis, he tried to become a hero-for-hire, but with so many heroes doing their thing gratis, it didn't work out. People generally got offended and tore up the business cards he tried to give them.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Subverted. At first he seemed to be on track to replace the absent Hawkman in the JLA, but he was both willingly de-powered ''and'' the ''real'' Hawkman turned up again at the end of his origin story.
* SecretKeeper: Before he became Golden Eagle, he discovers Carter Hall is Hawkman when he saw him fight Shadow Thief.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Charley/Charlie's name is spelled differently depending on whether or not he's the Pre- or Post-Crisis version.
* TagalongKid: Charley's heart is in the right place, and he's good at taking care of mooks, but when it came to Matter Master all he managed to do was get captured.
* WaitingForABreak: Pre-Crisis, after his initial adventure, his second appearance (years later in-universe) shows him to be a struggling actor, getting fired from a gas station job.
* WolverineClaws: His later costume has talons.

->''“My past has finally caught up with me. What happens next will determine the future of everything.”''

* AdventurerArchaeologist: He was an Eqyptologist, in some continuities. Think of him as a cross between Franchise/IndianaJones and Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian--with wings.

* StalkerWithACrush: He came off this way at first toward Kendra Saunders. He believes he and Kendra to be soul-mates, he claims to know everything about her (and is proven wrong quite a few times... or so it seems), and immediately starts ''heavily'' hitting on her and spying on her the moment he returns. He actually gets called out on this by everyone who knows about it, from JSA members to Oliver Queen to his best friend Ray Palmer. Despite this accusation, Carter is probably the WORST "stalker" ever, in that he totally respects Kendra's decisions, moves on and dates other people until she decides that he is the one that she wants, and generally acts as a friend rather than a stalker until she makes the decision to rekindle their relationship.
* StrawmanPolitical: He's often used as a conservative for other characters, particularly Oliver Queen, to argue with.

(Before ''Hawkworld'', Fell Andar--two "l"s--was a Thanagarian spy who fought Katar Hol in ''The Shadow War of Hawkman'', which was rendered out-of-continuity. The JLI's Hawkman and Hawkwoman were Katar and Shayera Hol.)

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, he could talk with birds as a side-effect from the device that gave him knowledge of Earth.
* StrawmanPolitical: In UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}, the JLA writers used him as a conservative strawman for ComicBook/GreenArrow to knock down. Post-''Hawkworld'', this trait was passed to Carter Hall.

After helping the JLA beat Matter Master, Charley was restored to normal...but a few years later Charley re-adopted his identity, complete with a new pair of wings donated by Hawkman himself, in order to investigate a strange crime alongside other teen heroes as a member of the one-shot team known as Titans West.

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: One time when the villain was after Mavis's ring, she figures that if she can trick Hawkman into putting it on the third finger of her hand when he returns it, she can trap him into an engagement. Kator sees the mark on her middle finger where she usually wears the ring and puts it there to her dismay. That's...just sad.

* MurderByMistake: She discovered Hawkwoman's costume in the museum and realized the truth about the Halls. Then she decided to try on Hawkwoman's costume for kicks...right when a group of Thanagarian criminals who were looking to steal the Hawks' anti-grav belts showed up at the museum. [[DroppedABridgeOnHer One disintegration later]], the love triangle's lost a leg.

[[folder: Attila]]

Thus far, little has been revealed about the background of George Crystal other than that he is a man of strong religious beliefs. When he found the Attila robot on Earth--the precise circumstances of its arrival have not been made public as yet--he allowed his spirit to enter the construct, at which point Attila asserted its primary programming: to avenge the death of Aza by slaying any Thanagarian it could find. Because of this, the robot swiftly found and attacked the two Thanagarians living on Earth at the time: Katar Hol, AKA Hawkman III; and Shayera Thal, AKA Hawkwoman II. After George's death, the Attila robot was later animated by his daughter Julia.

Corsar Thal is the brother of Shayera Thal (a.k.a. Hawkwoman) and the son of Thal Provis, Emperor of Thanagar. When the Thanagarians were all poisoned and lost their wings, Thal Provis died making Corsar the Emperor of Thanagar. Corsar wanted to go to war using the Nth metal but it had already bonded to Katar Hol who fled to Earth. Corsar was was seemingly killed, but returned as a cyborg to try to reclaim the Nth Metal from Hawkman.

Even now, he's working to make America a better place...according to 18th century beliefs implied to be extreme even by the standards of his colleagues...and he's willing to use whatever violent means are necessary to do so. Ah, ''there'' it is.

[[folder: The Gentleman Ghost]]

->''"Many heroes make enemies that last a lifetime. But you, the both of you… your enemies last forever!"''

Born just prior to the UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain era, James "Jim" Craddock was the abandoned son of a {{Jerkass}} British aristocrat, and turned to robbery to support himself. He became an immigrant to the USA, got falsely accused of a violent crime there, and was killed by a masked cowboy named Nighthawk. He became a ghost and discovered that he could only move on when his murderer moved on to the next plane of existence. Unfortunately for him, it turns out that Nighthawk is one of many incarnations of ancient Egyptian royalty, meaning that both their souls have no chance of moving on. When Nighthawk was reincarnated into ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}, Craddock tried to kill him without success. In response, Craddock took on the name of "Gentleman Ghost" and took to antagonizing other superheroes as a way to pass the time.

* BreakoutVillain: Gentleman Ghost has come a long way from his original role in the 1940s and 1960s as a recurring Hawkman villain, growing into a popular villain for multiple adaptations...even those that don't include Hawkman or Hawkwoman. Within the comics, in the 2000s and 2010s, he eclipsed Hakwman's ''other'' arch-enemy, the Shadow-Thief, who has become a comparatively minor recurring henchman.

[[folder: Hath-Set]]

A cruel Egyptian priest who murdered Prince Khufu (Hawkman) and Princess Chay-Ara (Hawkgirl) with a cursed dagger forged from Nth Metal. This act resulted in a continuous cycle of reincarnations for all three. Hath-Set is reincarnated through his descendants

During her captivity, Alstair overthrew Hyathis's government. Her followers rescued her and took her to the planet Thanagar, whose people were then suffering from the so-called "equalizing plague." Hyathis and her followers used their science to cure the Thanagarians. As payment Hyathis demanded to be made absolute monarch of Thanagar. As a lingering effect of the plague the Thanagarians were far more submissive than before, and they acceded to Hyathis's request.

[[folder: Lion-Mane]]

Although he kept his own mind at first, seeing lions in captivity awakened a feral consciousness which subsumed his own and sought to kill humans. Battling Hawkman, it was discovered that the chunk of Mithra meteorite wasn't "pure" and thus his transformation was slowly killing him. By destroying the stone, Hawkman is able to restore Dawson back to his true form. Hawkman theorized that the "Mithra meteorite" was actually sent by an alien civilization of lion-like beings to transform other races--this has never been proven for certain.

Pre-Crisis, Charley Parker was a teenage orphan who idolized Hawkman and created his own knock-off costume.

Post-Crisis, Charlie Parker was an orphan in Midway City who lived a troubled life of crime, but when he turned 18 he was taken in by Carter Hall, who gave him a job at his museum. Charlie idolized Hawkman, who gave him a Thanagarian battlesuit and trained him to fight crime as Golden Eagle. During an adventure with the ComicBook/TeenTitans, Charlie was apparently killed.
