Ed's Notes: I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I *HATE* this version of HawkGIRL.  In a vain effort to make her "cool," DC proved that turning a character dark and gritty is not always a recipe for success.  What's more, moving the story to a planet nobody cares about and then turning a super-hero into an over-glorified cop (working for a Fascist Government no less) is definitely not.  Oh, and changing the color of the armor didn't seem to matter either. Although I have followed the Hawkman titles in decades, I'm guessing this version didn't last long, based on how difficult it was to even FIND a decent picture of her in her 90's Abomination Armor. (Red, Blue, White version... didn't matter. Apparently everyone else hated this too.)

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)
