Ed's Notes: This is the classic, "Silver Age-y"version of Hawkman from the 2nd Edition. This was by far my favorite version of the character, and I prefer it to the Armored, Sci-Fi version represented in the 3rd Edition.  The third edition does include a nice upgrade the the Belt, which I would allow:

ANTI-GRAVITY BELT [Body: 9, Gravity Decrease: 7] Limitation: Gravity Decrease only  allows user to hover in place and lift great weights.

This gives Hawkman an effective Str of 13 for the purpose of lifting things.  And I would have no problem allowing this version of the belt to be used.


First Appearance: The Brave and the Bold #34 (February, March, 1961)

  1. No connection to the Atom? They were best friends in the Silver Age :)

  2. It's a shame he didn't have the Claw of Horus yet. I'd guess Body:8, EV:11 or something

  3. "The Black Power Mixtape 1967 - 1975" documentary takes a refreshing look that the civil rights movement from the eyes of a group of Swedish news journalists. I was amazed at the amount of footage never-seen-before footage of civil rights icons. Black Panther for birthday
