DC's 45 Strongest Chracters: Where Does Hawkman Rank

   CBR recently put out a list of DC's 45 strongest characters in the DCU. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to see Hawkman ion this list but he just snuck in at No. 44. That's pretty impressive, considering all the powerhouses that the DCU has. The Nth Metal added with Hawkman's expertise with the metal is a pretty potent mix. The article doesn't even mention his ultimate weapon; the Claw of Horus. If you add that, he would probably move up even a few more spots. We recently saw Hawkman give Black Adam (No. 6 on the list) a good fight in the latter's movie, and Hawkman also sent Superman hurtling into a mountain back in Superman Batman Public Enemies (2009). Let's hope we get to see Hawkgirl showcased just as well in the upcoming movie.

The Greatest Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman Stories

By Tim Board

Art by Ed Coutts

On April 25, 1941, in All-Star Comics No. 5, Shiera Sanders became Hawkgirl for the first time, and so began the story of one of the most famous and recognizable characters in the history of DC Comics. Hawkgirl may have been a sort of sidekick to Hawkman in the beginning, but she is no man's sidekick now. She is one of the most interesting and powerful characters in comics, with her own set of powers, abilities, and history. I could have gone into her history to celebrate Hawkgirl Day 2020, but this year I thought I would list my favorite Hawkgirl stories. I'm sure every Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman fan has their own favorites, so my apologies in advance if they aren't on the list. I also tried to do a countdown of best stories, but that proved to be difficult since I like them equally. So here are my favorite Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman stories in chronological order. Let us know which is your favorite in the comments!

The Story of Shayera Hol/Hawkwoman and Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl

By Tim Board

   Since the release of the Dark Nights Metal series in 2017-18, Hawkfans have been wondering when Hawkman and Hawkgirl were going to get back together. The current Hawkman series kicked off in June 2018, but Hawkgirl was not a part of the series. We saw her in some of her past lives; Chay-ara, Shayera Thal, and Sherra, but we never saw her as Hawkgirl in the first 18 issues. That all changed in the final 11 issues. We also saw Hawkwoman and Hawkgirl face off in the Justice League series (#14-16). This article is to explain who Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman are and their connection to Hawkman. 

Celebrating Hawkgirl Day! (April 25)

 Since we started Hawkworld back in 2016, we have celebrated Hawkgirl Day on April 25. Shiera Saunders first appeared as Hawkgirl in All-Star Comics No. 5, which was released on April 25, 1941. Techincally Shiera didn't become Hawkgirl until Flash Comics No. 24, but even then she didn't officially become THE Hawkgirl until later. But she dressed up as Hawkgirl for the first time and helped Hawkman so we consider April 25, 1941 as her debut as Hawkgirl. 
This week, from April 20 to April 25, we'll be putting the spotlight on the different versions of Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman that we've seen over the years.
