Hawkman is a prominent figure in the DC Universe, known for his avian appearance and connection to ancient Egypt. Multiple characters have held the mantle, but the core concept remains the same: a winged warrior often reincarnated across millennia.

The most recognized Hawkman is Katar Hol, a Thanagarian lawman who came to Earth with his wife, Shayera. They adopted the identities of Carter and Shiera Sanders Hall. He utilizes a harness with Nth metal wings that allow him to fly. Nth metal also grants him enhanced strength and healing.

Another notable iteration is Carter Hall, an archaeologist who discovered that he was the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu, and his love, Shiera, was the reincarnation of Princess Chay-Ara. He crafted his own Nth metal wings, drawing upon memories from past lives.

Hawkman is often depicted as a fierce warrior, grappling with the weight of his past lives and the mysteries surrounding Nth metal. He's frequently associated with the Justice Society of America and the Justice League, contributing his aerial combat skills and tactical prowess.
