10 AWESOME FACTS ABOUT HAWKMAN

Hawkman is one of DC's oldest characters, having been around since the earliest years of the Golden Age of Comics. Over a long career, he's been a part of the publisher's highest-profile teams, participated in its biggest events and appeared in live-action and animated adaptations. Still, all that exposure hasn't necessarily translated to respect.

With that in mind, here are 10 amazing facts about Hawkman, DC’s most complicated superhero.

1.  UNDERWATER HERO.

In flash Comics issue 9, it was revealed that 

Before Aquaman debuted in 1941, Hawkman went into the ocean and met Poseidon. Poseidon granted Hawkman the power to live and breathe.

2.  TALK TO BIRDS.

In All Stars Comics issue 10, Hawkman had the ability to talk to birds during the Golden Age. Not only that, he taught the language to the other Justice Society members. 

3. SLOW AGING.

In The shadow war of Hawkman issue 2

 It has been said that the Thanagarian life span is three times as long as a human’s. A 100-year-old Thanagarian would look to be about 30 in Earth years.

4. THANAGAR

Thanagar is a planet that is synonymous with Hawkman and his mythos. A highly advanced planet, it is home to the mysterious and powerful Nth metal. Thanagar is home to humanoid Thanagarians whose law-keepers are the winged Hawkman. Isamot Kol, a Lizarkon or humanoid lizard is from the planet Thanagar. He is partners with Rannian, Vath Sarn. Thanagarians and Rannians famously do not get along. With a rich history and ties to a lot of major DC stories, it is a well-known fixture of the DC universe.

5. PRINCE KHUFU FROM EGYPT.

Prince Khufu is one of the first known incarnations of Hawkman. He lived during the time of Ramses II in Egypt. He was the lover of Princess Chay-Ara. They were murdered by the Dark Priest Hath-Set and cursed to an eternity of reincarnation. They were doomed to find each other every time they were reincarnated only for Hath-Set to murder them. Interestingly, his associates were Nabu and Teth- Adam. Nabu was the wizard whose helmet and consciousness would guide iterations of Doctor Fate. Teth-Adam, his champion would go on to become corrupted and turn into none other than Black Adam.

6. HE BEAT SUPERMAN

Forged by Nabu for Prince Khufu, the Claw of Horus was a devastating weapon. It was made from the Nth metal found on the Thanagarian ship that landed in Ancient Egypt. The claw draws its power from the Earth’s magnetic field. Hawkman used this device to briefly incapacitate Superman during the Public Enemies storyline. Its mystical energy could have also caused Superman serious damage owing to his weakness to magic.

7. CURSED LIFE.

Khufu and Chay-ara were slain with an Nth metal dagger by Hath-Set and cursed to live on, reincarnated after each death until they again found each other and fell in love, though Hath-Set also reincarnated, cursed to kill them across generations.

Khufu lived many different lives throughout the DC continuity, including old west gunfighter Hannibal Hawke/Nighthawk or Brian Kent/Silent Knight, with the current Carter Hall discovering even more lifetimes in his most recent series.

8. DARK FORGE

Carter Hall/ Katar Hol’s failed New 52 reboot meant that writers did not know what to do with him. Enter DC: Metal. The story goes that the great Bat-demon Barbatos found Carter Hall in the Dark Multiverse. He transformed Carter into a gigantic hawk-demon. Carter was forced to man the World Forge, a place beneath creation itself creation that created entire universes from the fears and terrors of every living being of the multiverse.

9. SUPERHERO CHILDREN

Hawkman has had children who have gone on to become powerful heroes in their own right. Earth-2’s Carter Hall would have a son with Hawkgirl, Hector Hall. Hector would take the name, Silver Scarab and wear a suit of Nth metal. He would then go on to become Doctor Fate and join the JSA in the main universe where the Justice League also existed. Fel Andar, another Hawkman had a son called Charlie Parker. Charlie would go on to have a short-lived career as the Golden Eagle of Titans West.

10. EARTH 2.

On Earth-2, the superhero team was the Justice Society of America. Here, Hawkman, Carter Hall, was a reincarnated Egyptian Pharaoh who used Nth-metal to construct his crimefighting equipment and used ancient weapons to fight crime. He would go on to become the chairman of the Justice Society of America.

TOP 10 AWESOME FACTS ABOUT WONDER WOMAN.

Wonder Woman is one of the most popular comic book characters of all time. She is considered one of the big three in the world of DC, alongside the likes of both Superman and Batman. She is an icon of hope and female empowerment. 

Here are the top 10 facts about Wonder Woman.

1. HER ORIGINAL NAME WAS SUPREMA, THE WONDER WOMAN. 

Wonder Woman was created by American comic book writer William Moulton Marston. Her creation was inspired by two women: his wife, Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and Olive Byrne, who lived with the couple in an polyamorous relationship. Marston created her to be a liberated woman and have the positive characteristics that he associated with women.

Wonder Woman was also created to rival the strength of Superman. Before she made her comic book debut in All Star Comics in December 1941, she was originally called Suprema, the Wonder Woman.

2. GAL GADOT THOUGHT SHE WAS AUDITIONING FOR CATWOMAN.

When an actress like Gal Gadot gets called in to audition for Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder, she makes her own assumptions and Wonder Woman wasn't part of her initial thoughts.

When she got called back to go test with Ben Affleck, who plays Bruce Wayne/Batman in the film, she was told what role she was actually trying for, that of Wonder Woman.

3. TWIN SISTER OF WONDER WOMAN.

Nubia is not the foil to Diana, Wonder Woman’s true identity, but a true equal. She was created in 1973 out of the same clay used to make Diana, only her clay was black. She was formed by the goddess Aphrodite, and from there her backstory gets a bit wild. She is stolen at birth by Ares, the god of war, and was trained by him to become a master at hand-to-hand combat. In fact, when she was introduced in Wonder Woman Vol. 1 #204, she beat Diana in battle, and only stopped when she met her sister at sword point.

4. HER BRACELETS KEEPS HER POWER IN CHECK

In the New 52, Wonder Woman removes her bracelets in order to fight a God.

Wonder Woman's bracelets do not only help in deflecting bullets and other weapons. They also help her to keep her powers and emotions in check. The bracelets remind the Amazons to be grounded. If ever removed, it would make them go insane in rage. Also, it would make them more powerful and their powers would go out of their control. The bracelets are not in her hands to protect her but us from her.

5. GAL GADOT IS THE FIRST NON-AMERICAN TO PLAY WONDER WOMAN

Despite the fact that Wonder Woman traditionally wears stars and stripes, she's not American, which makes Gal's casting even more exciting. There was a small bit of outcry surrounding her being tapped for the role, but so far she seems to be doing original Wonder Women — Lynda Carter and Cathy Lee Crosby.

6.WONDER WOMAN WAS BANNED IN 1942.

Diana of the Amazons was introduced in 1941 but In March 1942, the National Organization for Decent Literature, one of the most influential censorship groups in America between the 1930s and 1960s, banned the book because of Wonder Woman's costumes. "Wonder Woman is not sufficiently dressed,” said a bishop. Wonder Woman was placed on a blacklist of "publications disapproved for youth".

7. LEADER OFTHE STAR SAPPHIRES.

Wonder Woman was a member of the Star Sapphires for a brief period during Blackest Night. The Star Sapphires are a Lantern Corps (kind of like the Green Lanterns) and their power comes from love. Diana’s love of the world and the people within it made her a perfect fit for the pink Star Sapphire ring.

8.SHE IS VEGETARIAN. 

Since she is a favorite of the Greek Gods, she has been gifted with certain unique abilities. One of them includes talking and controlling animals. She can easily communicate with animals and can control them to do as she pleases. She uses this power to save them from harm and vis-à-vis.So, since she is friends with the fauna, eating them would be inconsiderate and inappropriate. Therefore, she is a vegetarian.

9. LOVE WITH GREEN LANTERN.

The Green Lantern and Wonder Woman were supposed to become a Couple. But that was scratched in the 70's when DC received a letter by a fan that suggested the same idea. Due to legal reasons. This prohibited DC comics from moving forward with the idea.

10. REAL LIFE LASSO OF TRUTH. 

The creator of Wonder Woman—William Moulton Marston—also helped create the modern lie detector by tracking a subject’s blood pressure changes while they were lying. No wonder he gave his famous heroine a lasso that compelled people to tell the truth.
