One of the earliest avatars for the wizard [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Shazam.]] Teth-Adam lived in the same time period as Prince Khufu, and the two were friends before the latter's murder at the hands of Hath-Set. He eventually misuses his powers, resulting in his being imprisoned for centuries. Awakening in the modern era eager to redeem his tarnished reputation, he is reunited with Khufu, now reincarnated as Carter Hall/Hawkman, and the two serve together on the Justice Society. However, Adam clashed with his teammates over his [[TokenEvilTeammate brutal methods]] - while Khufu, as Hawkman, had adapted with the times to dispense a less lethal brand of justice, Adam was not able to let go of his anger. Consequently, the two friends had a bitter falling out, and Adam resurfaced as a KnightTemplar blurring the lines between hero and villain.

Simple Simon was Simon Atwell, who grew up in a tenement on the wrong side of the tracks, idolizing gunmen and bootleggers. Believing his idols were caught when their schemes got too complex, he applied his genius to pulling off advanced crimes using no more than three simple aids every time (such as a diamond ring, chewing gum, and wire to rob a jewelry store), as a sort of Series/{{MacGyver|1985}} of crime.

-->''"Look, how about I talk to… to '''Hawkman''' on… on the '''birdphone'''. You'll be up for '''JLA''' membership in no time! All I ask in '''return''' is a tiny, misshapen chunk of '''innocence''' that you won't even '''miss'''."''

* BeardOfEvil: It certainly gives him a distinct profile, which his how the Hawks identified him.

* LogicalWeakness: The Hawks beat him the first time by lifting the trailer which served as his hideout while he was tangible inside it. If he shifted, his human body in the other dimension would be in the exact same position as it was in the "real" world (that is, in a trailer several miles up in the air), so if he left the trailer...'''splat'''. Then they placed it with the door next to a high cliff, and Sands leapt out before looking. Before he could hit the ground, he desperately handed Hawkman the Dimensionometer in order to be saved.

* NiceHat: A classy top hat to help point out where his head's supposed to be.

* NiceHat: To go with the cowboy aesthetic.

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Appparently Lion-Mane is meant to be the vanguard and terra-former for a race of giant lion-beings.

The modern-day reincarnation of the Egyptian princess Chay-Ara, Hawkwoman (originally known as Hawkgirl) has been reborn throughout the ages with her lover, Hawkman. She was a member of both the Justice Society and the League, though she was denied League membership until the move to their sattelite because she was deemed redundant with Hawkman.

Introduced during the [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal Dark Multiverse crisis]], Kendra Saunders is the reincarnation of Chay-Ara. This time, Kendra seems to retain all memories of her past lives. Initially working as Hawkgirl alongside Carter Hall, both started an organisation called the Blackhawks, dedicated to unravelling the wider mysteries of the Immortal Men. Kendra destroyed her wings after learning the true dangers of Nth Metal. Carter would venture into the Dark Multiverse to unravel its mysteries, while Kendra remained on Earth and took up the identity of Lady Blackhawk. She initially appeared to be hunting Batman before revealing the nature of the Dark Multiverse to the Justice League.

Headhunter, who can also use Nth Metal weapons to his advantage was an unnamed warrior-shaman from a South American jungle tribe. He threatened St. Roch for decades: cutting off and shrinking heads. He seems to have developed a particular fascination with Hawkman, to the point of gathering bones from the corpses of his incarnation and reviving them with the aid of some "Nth Metal dust," presumably collected from the various Hawkman-incarnate tombs, his weapons may also be created via Nth metal.

* CreepySouvenir: Headhunter collects the decapirated heads of his victims and turns them into {{Shrunken Head}}s.

[[folder: Ironsides]]

* CoolStarship: Sky Tyrant has control over the Soarship: a starship beloning to a past Rannian incarnation. This has an Nth Metal core, Zeta Drive and flight capabilities, and can travel through both space and time.

* ArmsDealer: Xerces specialises in selling ancient weapons.

** Post-''Hawkworld'' Emmet they all took a bit longer to warm up to each other, but Emmett was able to recognize that they were well-meaning, and also had the good sense to keep his men from firing upon the Eclipso-possessed Shayera, recognizing her behavior and power level as being ''way'' out of character.

* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Put him in direct sunlight and he's a genius, take him out and he's a thug with loony ideas.

* {{Meganekko}}: In her civilian guise.
