the fuck is this guy?

A character with a complicated backstory and uncool powers

>>87809597
DC's Wolverine

>>87809597
A character, along with his spouse, in desperate need of a revamp

What's a good series with him?
Always been interested

>>87809597
Reincarnating space cop.

>>87809773
Hawkman V4

Everyone thinks that and it always turns out terrible. What we need is the opposite: A return to the character's roots and a writer smart enough to keep them there. Maybe cool down on Hath-Set fucking with him and his wife every week bit, but the idea that the hawks are heroes destined to EVENTUALLY die at the hands of Hath-Set is fine. Just don't make it every conflict.

You can't say that just because they have similar masks

>both are old as fuck
>both have "past lives"
>their special ability is basically a magic metal, let it be Adamantium or the 9th metal mace
>both are mostly known for being part of a team
>both serious and prone to violence with a touch of noble savage

Well you got me there. I wonder why Hawkman is much less popular then. He's basically C-List.

>>87810049
Because DC pushes "paragon" type heroes, and Batman too over the "brutal" hero image.

What year roughly? RConline has a series in '02 or '08?

Cant we just do a Stargate thing and have the Hawks enter space sarcophagus(s) to "reincarnate"

>>87810354

Or just do the Hancock thing where he and Shayera are stranded aliens who happen to be also immortals and get weaker when close to each other.

The '02 series. It ends in '06 and then gets rebranded as Hawkgirl to go on for another year or two. It's still kinda okay after the rebrand, Kendra is still fun to read about alone, but there is a noticeable decline in quality. Certain plotlines get wrapped up kind of awkwardly and out of nowhere, and I think there's a tie-in to another book you have to read that I never did. You might get better mileage just pretending it ends at '06.

I've never even heard about an '08 series, I'll have to check it out.

I remember having a toy of this guy and wondering who he was way back.

Because it's shit, they even gave him an entire title when Nu-52 started instead of giving one to someone that actually deserved it and he even has a mini now.

Tony Hawk

Hawkman, particularly when paired with his wife, is actually a great character with plenty of nuance to play with in cape stories. He offers a different perspective than many of the usual JL players, but if writers just see him as "guy with wings not as strong or fast as Superman + mace" then he suffers.

It's Aquaman syndrome. He can be played as an underwater sea King Arthur, but people usually just see him as "weaker Superman that can't fly, performs better when wet".

While we're on the subject, anyone reading this?

So far it's nothing to write home about but I do like the idea of Hawky and Adam Strange having adventures together and it promises to deliver.

Apparently they're going full on space cop this time around.
