Hawkgirl

In General

Species: Metahuman

Played By: Ciara Renée, Anna Deavere Smith (1870, and presumably every other older versions)

see Stargirl (2020) page for the post-Crisis Earth-2 character who bears her name and background

Adaptational Modesty: While still a Form-Fitting Wardrobe, her costume here covers a lot compared to the comics.
Arch-Enemy: She and Hawkman for Hath-Set/Vandal Savage.
Battle Couple: With Hawkman. If they're not battling each other that is.
Buxom Beauty Standard: She's very well-endowed, as shown off by her Hawkgirl suit, and has no shortage of admirers.
Came Back Strong: Invoked and enforced. She and the Hawkman reincarnations either retain the memories of their previous lives or it eventually resurface. Either way, this gives either or both of them time to train for Savage.
Celebrity Paradox: An episode of The Flash (2014) mentions the Law & Order franchise. Her actress' first TV role was a guest appearance on Law & Order: SVU.
The Chosen One: She is the only one who can successfully kill Vandal Savage once and for all. Even Hawkman, who shares a very similar role in the plot as her, cannot do it.
Distaff Counterpart: To Hawkman and his reincarnations.
Dude Magnet: Her reincarnations are always involved in a Love Triangle with Hawkman and Vandal Savage.
Eternal Love: She and Hawkman are supposed to be soulmates. Unfortunately, Kendra Saunders initially doesn't show affection to Carter Hall in their current reincarnated state... because she doesn't even know who he is.

If I Can't Have You…: She usually dies by the hands of Vandal Savage, usually for rejecting him in favor of Hawkman.
I Have Many Names: Thanks to her Reincarnation curse.
Killed Offscreen: All of her reincarnations except Chay-Ara and Kendra Saunders (who lives) are Posthumous Characters.

Official Couple: With Hawkman.
One-Steve Limit: Two of her incarnations are both named Kendra, though the surname of the 1940s incarnation is unknown.
Past-Life Memories: She and Hawkman are capable of remembering their previous lives.
Psychic Link: She can feel whatever is happening to Hawkman even after he's dead.
Reincarnation: Originally an Egyptian priestess, she's reincarnated several times over as every time she's killed.
Reincarnation Romance: She and Hawkman are fated to find each other in every lifetime.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With Hawkman, over and over again, due to the mystical origins of their powers.

Superhero Speciation: She and Hawkman both have the exact same powerset.
They Killed Kenny Again: She's been killed by Vandal Savage 207 times by the time her latest reincarnation is introduced.
Together in Death: She and Hawkman were usually killed by Vandal Savage together.
Touched by Vorlons: Becomes a metahuman with reincarnation and winged powers due to exposure from a Thanagarian meteorite.
Winged Humanoid: Per the norm, and a blessing of Horus, she can sprout wings from her back as needed.

Appearances: Heroes Join Forces^note(Arrow) | Legends of Tomorrow

An Egyptian warrior priestess and lover of Prince Khufu. She is Hawkgirl's original incarnation.

Badass Preacher: Promotional materials dubs her as a "Warrior Priestess", though her subsequent Reincarnations are unquestionably far more competent than her.
Ms. Fanservice: Of all the Hawkgirl incarnations, she shows the most skin.
My Death Is Just the Beginning: After she and Khufu die, they will repeatedly be reincarnated and start an eternal battle with the now-immortal Hath-Set.
Posthumous Character: Naturally since she's Hawkgirl's original incarnation.
Sexy Priest: An Egyptian high priestess who was wearing a toga that shows her back and has such a low cut it shows cleavage and abdomen. She's (mutually) desired by Prince Khufu and Vandal Savagee (as Hath-Set).
Together in Death: Killed by Hath-Set with Khufu.
Ur-Example: Due to being the original incarnation of Hawkgirl.

Jade-Colored Glasses: She was turned bitter by her literally eternal bad experiences.
My Future Self and Me: She gets to meet Kendra Saunders, her late 20th Century-early 21st Century incarnation.

Never Mess with Granny: She is handy with a shotgun.
No Name Given: Her name is never revealed.
Posthumous Character: Dead way before the series starts.

Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl

Kendra Saunders

Known Aliases: Hawkgirl

First Appearance: "Fast Enough" (The Flash 1x23)

Appearances: The Flash | Heroes Join Forces^note(The Flash | Arrow) | Legends of Tomorrow

Hawkgirl's current incarnation, who initially had no idea about her past life as the once priestess. She's first introduced as a barista before being recruited by Rip Hunter. She leaves the Legends at the end of season one after they defeat Vandal Savage to retire and live a normal life with Scythian Torvil as Vandal Savage was finally out of their lives.

Belligerent Sexual Tension: The trailer implies that she and Carter have a volatile relationship.
Bling-Bling-BANG!: She gets her trademark mace from the comics due to covering the business end in her melted down gold bracelet from her first life, as anything that was with her back then can kill Savage.
Chekhov's Gunman: Her Hawkgirl alias can be seen in the future newspaper◊, helping the Arrow, Atom and Flash fight the Reverse-Flash, and she is briefly seen in The Flash Season Finale before her first full length appearance on this show.
Composite Character: She shares traits of different characters that took up the Hawk mask in the past - she is part of a heroic couple as she was during her original appearance, she uses a mace and is the reincarnation of an Egyptian character like JLA's Shayera Hol and she is Hispanic and goes by Kendra Saunders as she does in Earth-2.
The Dog Bites Back: After over 200 lifetimes of being relentlessly stalked and murdered by Savage, Kendra gets the last word between them by stabbing Savage in the chest and taunting him with his own pet name for her.
Dude Magnet: Not only Carter and Savage, but she has gained the attention of Cisco in The Flash and now of both Jax and Ray.
Early-Bird Cameo: As pointed out below (and Puns aside), her appearance in first season finale of The Flash basically amounted to this. Her appearance in subsequent episodes of Season 2 of The Flash amount to much the same thing.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Not actually dead, but when Barry gathers everyone to fight the Dominators in the "Invasion!" crossover, he makes no inquiries about the whereabouts of her or Carter. It especially stands out since he *did* notice that Snart wasn't among the Legends and Ray Palmer had to catch Barry up on his Heroic Sacrifice.
Hidden Depths: She turns out to be a Star Trek fan, even flirting with Ray by comparing him to Captain Picard.
Hot Librarian: Worked as a college librarian when she, Sara and Ray were stuck in The '60s.
How Do I Shot Web?: Unlike Carter, Kendra is just learning how to emerge and awaken her innate powers. Includes an insane Fly Or Die sequence.
Iconic Sequel Character: She does not appear in the Arrowverse until it's third year, being the Last Episode, New Character during The Flash (2014) Season 1.
Last Episode, New Character: She made her debut in the Season 1 finale of The Flash (2014). Of course it's just a quick shot at the end and if you didn't see the Legends Of Tomorrow trailer you wouldn't know who she is.
Leitmotif: Has a grand uplifting piece.
Long Bus Trip: She has not returned ever since her exit, not even in the Crisis Crossovers.
Love Makes You Stupid: She couldn't bring herself to kill Savage in 2166, as doing so would leave the brainwashed Carter trapped in Savage's conditioning. Ignoring the fact that Carter can reincarnate if killed, keeping Savage alive is a majorly bad idea which has severe consequences for the team not long afterwards.
Ms. Fanservice: She is very attractive.
One-Steve Limit: Her 1940s incarnation is also named Kendra, though her surname then is unknown.
Outliving One's Offspring: Played with. Prof. Boardman was hers and Carter's son from their previous life, but that incarnation of them died long before they see Boardman die.
Protectorate: She was guarded by both Teams Arrow and Flash, and eventually Carter Hall, from Vandal Savage's clutches.
Put on a Bus: She and Carter leave the team at the end of Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow.
Race Lift: Most versions of Hawkgirl have been Caucasian in the comics (although her voice actress in Justice League was Hispanic and redheaded). The comics version of Kendra Saunders that this character is based on is half-Hispanic.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: When her warrior side takes over.
Reluctant Hero: Initially unwilling to join the Legends out of fear of Vandal Savage, resorting to Carter having to issue a personal challenge of combat where the winner gets to decide to if they go with Rip or not. Kendra loses.
Sadistic Choice: Gets handed one in "Leviathan" courtesy of Savage. Since Savage has had Carter's mind erased in order to prevent him from remembering his past Savage tells Kendra that she can either kill him and risk Carter forever loosing his memories or allow him to live in order to get said memories back. Kendra decides to choose the latter.
Supernaturally Young Parent: She and Carter meet the now elderly orphaned child of their early 20th century incarnations.
Superpowered Evil Side: She seems to have one, complete with Red Eyes Takewarning. Possibly one of her previous incarnations.
Super-Strength: She is able to tear off Ray's chestpiece barehanded.
Took a Level in Badass: After spending countless lifetimes and most of her on screen battles with Savage, either dead or near fatally wounded, Kendra, with the help of Carter's mace imbued with the bracelet she wore on the night of her first death, almost manages to kill Savage singlehandedly. He only survives thanks to the Sadistic Choice mentioned above.
Transplant: Played with. While she was designed to be a main character in this show from the get-go, she was a Recurring Character on The Flash (2014) before this show airs.
Trapped in the Past: She,Sara, and Ray were trapped in the late 50s to the very beginning of The '60s during mid Season 1.

Hawkman

In General

Species: Metahuman

Played By: Falk Hentschel

see Stargirl (2020) page for the post-Crisis Earth-2 character who bears his name and background

see the Doom Patrol (2019) – Other Characters page for the Earth-21 character who bears his name and background

see Batman (1966): Heroes for the Earth-66 character who bears his codename

see the Smallville: Clark's Allies page for the Earth-167 character who bears his name and background

see DCEU: Other Superheroes page for the character in an undesignated Earth who bears his name and background

Adaptational Modesty: Hawkman's costume in the comics provides a straight-out Walking Shirtless Scene. Here, he is fully clothed/armored. He still gets a few shirtless scenes, plus some guy-liner.
Arch-Enemy: He and Hawkgirl for Hath-Set/Vandal Savage.
Battle Couple: With Hawkgirl. If they're not battling each other that is.
Came Back Strong: Invoked and enforced. He and the Hawkgirl reincarnations either retain the memories of their previous lives or it eventually resurface. Either way, this gives either or both of them time to train for Savage.
Celebrity Paradox: The Marvel Cinematic Universe is acknowledged to exist in this universe. His actor had a guest role in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before being cast here.
Composite Character: Hawkman has traits of Klarn Arg the Immortal Man, Vandal Savage's primal nemesis. They both are immortals who reincarnate upon death, possesses superpowers, and was a contemporary of Vandal Savage who ended up becoming his archnemesis.
Demoted to Extra: Invoked. Unlike Colin Donnell (Tommy Merlyn) and Rick Cosnett (Eddie Thawne), his actor was not given a "Special Guest Star" citation during his reappearances after his death ^note.
Eternal Love: He and Hawkgirl are supposed to be soulmates. Unfortunately, Kendra Saunders doesn't show affection to Carter Hall in their current reincarnated state... because she doesn't even know who he is. She eventually does grow to love him, and they leave to start a life together after Savage is killed.
Iconic Sequel Character: Does not appear in the Arrowverse until its fourth year.
I Have Many Names: Thanks to his Reincarnation curse.
Killed Offscreen: With the exception of Khufu and Carter Hall (and Scythian Torvil, who lives), all of his reincarnations are Posthumous Characters.
Legacy Character: The Hawkman mantle has been used by many of his Reincarnations, though who specifically started it is unknown. However, it is implied that Cisco Ramon is the one who named him (as he did so with Hawkgirl).
Men Are the Expendable Gender: Played with, since he and Hawkgirl both inevitably fall to Savage anyway, but at least two versions of Hawkman (Hannibal Hawkes and Carter Hall) were killed before Hawkgirl, and Scythian Torvil narrowly escaped the same fate. Justified, since Hawkman is usually the one who takes the initiative in most fights with Savage.
Mr. Fanservice: A Tall, Dark, and Handsome man who is fond of doing Shirtless Scenes. Also his sleeveless battle suit.
Murder the Hypotenuse: He usually dies by the hands of Vandal Savage, his Arch-Enemy who pines for Kendra.
No Name Given: The names of many of his incarnations are not (yet) revealed.
Official Couple: With Hawkgirl.
Past-Life Memories: He and Hawkgirl are capable of remembering their previous lives.
Pragmatic Adaptation: Perhaps the most contradictory and confusing character in comic book history (let's put it this way: the dude's the page image for Continuity Snarl) is given a significantly streamlined backstory under a single creative vision.
Psychic Link: He can feel whenever Hawkgirl is nearby.
Reincarnation: Originally an Egyptian prince, he's reincarnated several times over as every time he's killed.
Reincarnation Romance: He and Hawkgirl are fated to find each other in every lifetime.
Sleeves Are for Wimps: His costume is sleeveless, though it has shoulder pads.
Spear Counterpart: To Hawkgirl and her reincarnations.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With Hawkgirl, over and over again, due to the mystical origins of their powers.
Superhero Speciation: He and Hawkgirl both have the exact same powerset.
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Played by attractive 5'11 actor Falk Hentschel.
They Killed Kenny Again: He's been killed by Vandal Savage 208 times by the time his latest reincarnation is introduced.
Together in Death: He and Hawkgirl were usually killed by Vandal Savage together.
Touched by Vorlons: Becomes a metahuman with reincarnation and winged powers due to exposure from a Thanagarian meteorite.
The Unchosen One: Despite sharing a very similar role in the plot as Kendra, only she can permanently kill Savage.
Winged Humanoid: Per the norm, and a blessing of Horus, he can sprout wings from her back as needed.

Khufu

First Appearance: "Legends of Today" (The Flash 2x8)

Appearances: Heroes Join Forces^note(Arrow) | Legends of Tomorrow

An Egyptian Prince and the lover of Chay-ara. He is Hawkman's original incarnation.

Mr. Fanservice: He's a Walking Shirtless Scene.
My Death Is Just the Beginning: After He and Chay-Ara die, they will repeatedly be reincarnated and start an eternal battle with the now-immortal Hath-Set.
Posthumous Character: Naturally since he's Hawkman's original incarnation.
Together in Death: With Chay-Ara back when they were living under Ramesses.
Ur-Example: Due to being the original incarnation of Hawkman.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He's always topless just because.
Warrior Prince: Subverted. He only becomes a warrior in his later lives.

Hawkman's incarnation during the early 19th Century.

Alliterative Name: Hannibal Hawkes.
Killed Offscreen: Another Posthumous Character incarnation of Hawkman.
Posthumous Character: Dead way before the series starts.

Together in Death: Killed by Vandal Savage with Edith.

Unnamed mid 20th Century incarnation

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Hawkman's incarnation during mid 20th Century.

Mr. Fanservice: There's a reason for the Workout Fanservice below.
No Name Given: His name is never revealed.
Posthumous Character: Dead way before the series starts.
Workout Fanservice: He's seen practicing the Morning Star shirtless.

Carter Hall / Hawkman

Carter Hall

Known Aliases: Hawkman I

First Appearance: "Legends of Today" (The Flash 2x8)

Appearances: Heroes Join Forces^note(The Flash | Arrow) | Legends of Tomorrow

Hawkman's incarnation by 2016. By that time, Vandal Savage has killed him and Hawkgirl 206 times. As such, Carter tries to stop him from making 207.

Advertised Extra: In virtue of being a Sacrificial Lion who bites it only after the second episode.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: The trailer implies that he and Kendra have a volatile relationship.
Betty and Veronica: He is the Veronica to both Cisco and Ray's Betty for Kendra.
Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: He's one of the team's go-to guys when it comes to fighting and also the very first casualty.
Carry a Big Stick: His weapon is a Morning Star.
The Casanova: He's described as being a "confident, charismatic leader"...
Casanova Wannabe: ...but Kendra obviously finds his comeons too much. Indeed fans have nicknamed him Stalkman (Granted, he gets major development between the crossover episodes and his finale episode and his assholish behavior is nothing compared to what Vandal Savage has done to Kendra. At least Carter can take no for an answer... eventually).
Character Death: He is killed by Vandal Savage in the second episode of Legends.
Death by Adaptation: Following the footsteps of his Smallville incarnation, he gets himself fatally stabbed.
Decoy Protagonist: He's credited as one of the main members of the Legends cast and has a lot of relevance to Savage due to his history of killing Carter's previous incarnations, and then he ends up dying at the end of the pilot.
Defeat Means Friendship: He only starts helping Teams Flash and Arrow after Barry and Oliver kicked his ass.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: He dies in Kendra's arms.
Early-Bird Cameo: Puns aside, he made his first appearance in the second annual The Flash and Arrow Crossover.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: When Barry gathers everyone to fight the Dominators in the "Invasion!" crossover, he makes no inquiries about the whereabouts of him or Kendra. It especially stands out since he *did* notice that Snart wasn't among the Legends and Ray Palmer had to catch Barry up on his Heroic Sacrifice.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Carter can be impatient, sullen, and temperamental, but he's also passionate and loving about Kendra and her well being. He'll do anything to keep her safe and always puts her needs in front of his own.
The Mentor: He teaches Hawkgirl on how to use her powers and fight as well as to adjust on the circumstances regarding their situation. Like most mentors, he also bites it.
Not What It Looks Like: He very well knows that he'll look like Kendra's Stalker with a Crush when he just grabbed her and told her that only he can protect her from Savage.
One-Man Army: Downplayed. He still loses, but he was at least able to fight both Barry and Oliver on equal footing.
Out of Focus: The rest of the team gets a lot more focus and Character Development than Carter. It's justified for most of Season One of Legends of Tomorrow, because he's dead.
Outliving One's Offspring: Played with. Prof. Boardman was his and Kendra's son from their previous life, but those incarnation of them died long before they see Boardman die.
Sacrificial Lion: A significant and badass character that was killed to establish that Savage isn't going to go down easy.
Screaming Warrior: In his fight with Oliver, his response to seeing Barry speeding towards him is to charge him head on with a frenzied yell.
Sexy Mentor: He acts as the mentor for Hawkgirl and hits on her at the same time. She's not a fan.
Sink or Swim Mentor: He casually pushes Kendra off from the top of a building so that her powers can be revealed. Partly justified, since it is a case of Here We Go Again! for him - his memories have already returned.
Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Has not appeared in the teaser trailer. He does on the main ones though.
The Smart Guy: While Rip has better knowledge of the future (particularly everything post-21st century), Carter has expertise for the past due to being reincarnated several times and having better memories of them than Kendra.
The Stoic: He shows even less expression than Oliver.
Supernaturally Young Parent: He and Kendra meet the now elderly orphaned child of their early 20th century incarnations.
Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Stands 5'11 and has an aloof demeanor.
We Hardly Knew Ye: After only an episode each on The Flash (2014) and Arrow, and two episodes on this series, Carter is killed by Vandal Savage.
You Can't Fight Fate: He still dies at the hands of Vandal Savage, except this time Barry is not there to push the Reset Button.

Scythian Torvil / Hawkman

Scythian Torvil

Known Aliases: Hawkman II, Carter Hall (late 20th Century-Early 21st Century incarnation)

First Appearance: "Leviathan" (Legends of Tomorrow 1x13)

Appearances: Legends of Tomorrow

Hawkman's incarnation by 2166. In this lifetime, he is brainwashed by Vandal Savage to be part of his Praetorian Guard. He leaves the Legends at the end of season one after they defeat Vandal Savage to retire and live a normal life with Kendra Saunders as Vandal Savage was finally out of their lives.

Backup Twin: By way of reincarnation; he returns to the team after they pick him up in 2166 and after he shakes off Savage's brainwashing. Despite his name being Scythian Torvil, he comes to answer to Carter Hall.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Unlike Carter, he fights barehanded as Hawkman.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Savage brainwashed him to work for him.
The Brute: While brainwashed, his main role is to act as muscle for Savage, and he doesn't get much character development besides.
Defector from Decadence: Immediately joins the Legends the moment his brainwashing wears off.
Demoted to Extra: Unlike Carter, his actor's name is not part of the opening credits when he appears.
Dramatic Unmask: His helmet falls off him after Kendra knocks him out moments before she's supposed to kill Savage.
11th-Hour Ranger: He joins the team near the end of Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 .
Elite Mook: He used to be Savage's most skilled Praetorian Guard.
Heel–Face Turn: Originally Savage's most skilled Praetorian Guard, he betrays him after his brainwashing is negated.
He's Back!: After being killed by Savage in 1975, he reincarnates in the 22nd Century as his Brainwashed and Crazy Elite Mook. Fortunately, when Kendra is about to be killed right in front of him, he finally breaks free from Savage's control and regains his memories.
I Choose to Stay: He decides to live in The Present Day rather than return home to the 22nd Century.
Long Bus Trip: He has not returned ever since his departure, not even in the Crisis Crossovers.
Out of Focus: The rest of the team gets a lot more focus and Character Development than him. It's justified since he's the 11th-Hour Ranger.
Praetorian Guard: He used to work as one to Vandal Savage after the latter brainwashes him.
Put on a Bus: He and Kendra leave the team at the end of Season One of Legends of Tomorrow, wanting to start fresh with Savage now truly gone.
Replacement Goldfish: The narrative treats him the same as Carter, which makes sense due to being his reincarnation.
Screw Destiny: Unlike his previous incarnations, he is able to witness the fall of Vandal Savage.
Spanner in the Works: Kendra had Savage at his mercy before he showed up. Made worse by immediately following it with an accidental (and timely) Dramatic Unmask.
Trapped in the Past: A willing example. He was born on the 22nd Century, but decides to live in The Present Day with Kendra.
Welcome Back, Traitor: He is Easily Forgiven by the Legends the moment his brainwashing wears off (though that exactly is what justifies it).
