A superhero and member of the Justice League.
Description[]
Hawkman is seen to be one of the tall and heavily built superheroes (along with Batman and Superman). He wears a dark green costume with dark red gloves, boots, and 'briefs', and a yellow belt. The cowl on his head is also yellow and it has a hint of a hawk's beak over the nose. He is not very talkative but is hard-headed in his dealings with villains. Despite his human looks, he is said to be a Thanagarian (from an alien planet) yet his appearance near the Pyramids on one occasion suggests that he also has a connection with Ancient Egypt as elsewhere.
His powers are not well explained and his main one of flight through the air could be assumed to be caused by the flapping of his wings except that he also does this when he flies through space. It is usually put down to the presence of alien 'Nth metal' in his costume but this is never mentioned. The wings are held in place by the crossed straps on his chest and are attached to a wider band across his back.
Hawkman has considerable strength as we see he can rip a door from a jail cell. In combat he brandishes a medieval-style mace which can knock down even super-powered opponents, and always uses it to the exclusion of his fists. He can take considerable punishment in a fight and this may be due to the presence of armor of which we can see plates on his shoulders. There is more on the right than the left and still more may completely cover his head and body except that we cannot see it because it is invisible. This covering might also explain his ability to breathe in the vacuum of space.
The irreverent Lobo calls him "Captain Cluck-Cluck".
