Ed's Notes: This entry has been completely rewritten. It was originally adapted from Siskoid's Collections, which I further tweaked to bring him more in line with what I thought an older, more experienced version of Hawk. Two things... As Monarch, Hank Hall doesn't use his Hawk Powers. And then Mark sent me a page from the 1992 Q3 DCH Newsletter, which I would consider "officially published," even if it was preliminary, from Mayfair. So the entry no matched that, as my other entries match their published sources.

This is one I've looked forward to for a LONG time, and now that I've done it... Man. This guy ends up rather an underwhelming villain. Lol. First problem... In superhero, main-character terms... Hank Hall is an idiot: Int 3. No one that... mediocre is going to take over the world unless they have OVERWHELMING firepower. And that suit... doesn't. Speaking of which...

Rather than Mental Freeze, Mayfair used Control with the Limitation that it can only be used to Freeze an opponent. That's Mental Freeze! BUT, Mental Freeze wasn't parts of the game until 3rd Edition. So under 2nd Edition rules, they did it this way instead.  Now, the illusion is... fine. But it needs more range. 7 only gives it a range of 1/8 of a mile. So I'd like to see (or I would grant) something like a Radio Communications: 20 Power, with the Illusion contingent upon it. Something like that.

So , the suit is... Fine. But it doesn't amke him enough of a heavy hitter to take over the world, with a Int of 3. I mean... Lex Luthor has an Int of 14 and MUCH better tech than this, AND Kryptonite. And he's never really come even close to this level of success. But it still doesn't necessarily feel wrong to me, stat-wise. Armageddon 2001 was just a goofy story, I guess. I would have believed Batman. Or Hal Jordan. Or... yeah, I suppose even Captain Atom. But Hank fucking Hall is NOT going to kill everyone and take over the world with THIS TECH. No way. (Yeah, after doing this just now, I truly do think that this was the very first instance of DC trying to subvert readers' expectations and ending up with something stupid that everyone hated. Lol)

First Appearance: Armageddon 2001 #2 (October, 1991)

Ed's Notes: This version of Hawk is not a true "Year Two," but rather a form that existed from a awhile in between his Titans West days and the 3rd Edition Version, after the death of T'Charr.

Ed's Notes: 3rd Edition Hank Hall differs enough from Hawk that he warrants his own entry.  2nd Edition (Year One, Year Two) did not.

Ed's Notes: 3rd Edition Hawk represents his power level after the death of T'Charr of Chaos.  The notes included for his power level prior to this make his "Year Two" stats almost identical to the 2nd edition.  2nd Edition also includes a "Year One" version.  The page for Hank Hall is exclusively linked to this version of Hawk.

Ed's Notes: This is Dove II, prior to the deaths of Terataya and T'Charr. 2nd Edition leaves off the Advantages: Connection: New Titans (HIgh) and Rich Family. No real "super powers" but still beefed up a bit from Dove I.

Ed's Notes: It sounds weird to say this, but THIS version of Dove actually kicks a little ass. Look-level, mook-ass, but still. Vastly improve over Dove I.  This version came about after the deaths of Terataya and T'Charr.  Her "Year One" entry represent her prior to that, and she is much more in line with Dove I.
