After Hawkman Vol. 3 ended in 1996, the Hawks were set aside for a few years, only returning in some alternate universe stories. But in 1999, they were brought back in a way that had never been done before, and the reincarnation theme was heavily used for the first time in their history. Both of their origins for this era are pretty wild, so buckle your seatbelts. It's gonna be quite a ride.
Shiera Saunders (Golden Age Hawkgirl) had a first cousin named Speed Saunders (*), who first appeared in Detective Comics No. 1 way back in 1937. (*) Speed had a family; Michael (son), Trina (daughter-in-law), and Kendra (granddaughter). When Kendra was 13 years old, she and her mother were almost raped by two corrupt policemen, but in the struggle, Kendra was able to grab an officer's gun and shot one of them dead. This traumatic incident started her downward spiral. She would start cutting herself and make a few suicide attempts from this time. She also gave birth to a daughter (Mia Mendoza) whom she gave up for adoption at about the age of 16. (*)
When Kendra was 16 years old, her parents were murdered during a trip to St. Roch, and this led to her final suicide attempt. She took an overdose of drugs but Speed found her and got her to the hospital. However, it was too late and they pronounced her dead. Ten minutes later, she miraculously regained consciousness. However, according to Speed, it was not Kendra anymore. Shiera Sanders' soul, which had been in limbo after being killed during Zero Hour, had entered Kendra's body. (*)

Shiera retained much of her knowledge and abilities but the shock of what happened may have confused her and caused her to keep much of Kendra's consciousness as well. So Speed trained her and Kendra became the new Hawkgirl. It appears that Kendra's initial motivation for becoming Hawkgirl was to find the murderer of her parents.
Why did it happen this way? My personal theory is that two things were the cause. One was Carter and Shiera's "deaths" during Zero Hour. When Katar Hol II merged with the Hawk avatar and Carter, Katar took on Carter's consciousness so Carter was not truly dead. However, Shiera was thought to be dead. Because of their reincarnation cycle, Hawkman and Hawkgirl probably are reborn at the same time. So if one dies before the other, the one who died first is in some sort of "stasis" or "waiting period" until the other dies and then they are reincarnated at the same time and on the same planet.
However, even when Katar was sent to the Hawk realm to stop his insanity, he wasn't dead. He was waiting for a way to come back to his reality. Shiera was the key. She would be the beacon for Hawkman to find his way back to this realm. But she was dead, with no way to help Carter come back. So when Kendra apparently died, Shiera took over her body. But throughout the rest of Kendra's story in the 2000s, she is in constant battle with herself, believing she is Kendra, but acting like Shiera at times. Even in her relationship with Carter Hall II, she flipped-flopped back and forth between a love for him and a desire to make her own destiny apart from Carter.

Even the angel Zauriel appeared to tell Kendra that she was dead. But I think Speed and Zauriel misunderstood what had actually happened. Kendra didn't die that night. She was still Kendra. But she now appeared to have a split personality with Shiera, and for much of the beginning of the JSA and Hawkman Vol. 4 series, Kendra is confused, unsure, hesitant, and difficult to deal with. Shiera's memory and abilities flash in and out. Shiera's death in Zero Hour and Katar II's banishment to the Hawk realm, for all intents and purposes, threw a giant wrench into the reincarnation cycle that would last until the events of the Blackest Night. I told you it would be a wild ride!
 |
| The Evolution of Hawkman and Hawkgirl (1993-2001) |
The Justice Society accepted Kendra as a member but she continued to act strange and say things that only Shiera would know. At the same time, several members including Doctor Fate, began to sense that Hawkman was returning. Right after Kendra found out that she was "dead," the Flash (Jay Garrick) traveled to ancient Egypt and met Prince Khufu (the future Hawkman), Nabu (the future Doctor Fate), and Teth-Adam (the future Black Adam). They also predicted Hawkman's return and gave Flash the Claw of Horus, a powerful war gauntlet made entirely out of Nth Metal It was to be handed over to Hawkman when he returned. Flash returned from ancient Egypt as Kendra was suddenly transported to Thanagar. (*)
Thanagar had been taken over by the demon Onimar Synn and the high priests of the Downsiders wanted to bring back Hawkman to fight the demon. He was trapped in the Hawk Realm, and they could not bring him back without Kendra's help. Their past love and history with each other would act as a beacon for Hawkman to find his way back. Kendra stepped up to the Well of Spirits and extended her hand, and Hawkman immediately found her and emerged from the realm. After five years, Hawkman had finally returned. But there was a difference. (*)

| Carter talking to Ray Palmer (Hawkman Vol. 4 #8. December 2002) |
There was also another major change but it was on Kendra's part. She had no feelings of love whatsoever for this new Carter Hall. For Carter, it was just another reincarnation cycle in a way, and he was once again with the woman that he had loved for thousands of years. But she wanted no part of a relationship with Carter because of "destiny."
 |
| Hawkman Vol. 4 No. 1 (May 2002) |
For the next ten years, it would be an endless parade of moments like this; Carter wants his eternal love by his side, while Kendra doesn't want her destiny decided for her. When one finally wants to get close, they either push each other away or a crisis event gets in the way. They play each other like yo-yos again and again. Kendra later joined the Justice League and tried to start up a relationship with Red Arrow (Roy Harper), but all she would talk about was Carter this and Carter that, so Roy got fed up and left. Even Power Girl had a brief affair with Hawkman and got burned for it. She tried to warn Roy but he did not heed her warning and their relationship ended badly. (*)
The relationship between Carter and Kendra was never truly resolved. Shiera left Kendra's body at the end of the Hawkman Vol. 4/Hawkgirl series (*), but they still tried to get a relationship going until the Blackest Night event. More on that later. I don't know if writers of Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders will ever read these pages but for the sake of both Hawks, I would say just let these two keep a platonic relationship and be partners only, if they HAVE to team up, and it would be even better if they are kept apart and go their own separate ways.

| Justice League of America No. 9 (July 2007) |
In 2008, there was film called Hancock starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron. They obviously had a long history between them and in this case, Will Smith remembered nothing and Theron remembered everything and hated/loved him. It was a rather puzzling film that sort of explained that they had to be apart to survive. There was even a pointless battle scene between the two that always reminds me of Carter II and Kendra I. Many other fans noticed the similarities.
Another important factor that Geoff Johns brought back into the Hawkman series in a major way was reincarnation. Since it was first introduced in Hawkman's first appearance in 1940, it was rarely referred to until the 2000s. It would occasionally pop up, like in the All-Star Squadron or Hawkman Vol. 3 series, but it was usually mentioned in passing and forgotten. However, Johns really leaned on it as a plot line for Hawkman Vol. 4 and as a way to bring Hawkman's continuity together. In the series, we discovered several past lives, besides the ones we already knew about.
Prince Khufu / Chay-ara (16th century BC)
Brian Kent (The Silent Knight) / Lady Celia Penbrook (6th century)

| The Many Lives of Hawkman and Hawkgirl Revealed during the 2000s |
Reincarnation was now officially a major plot in Hawkman and Hawkgirl's story. Some of the best stories during the run were about his past lives. During this run and in the JSA series, it was established that Hawkman could speak thousands of languages. He had a history in almost every country on Earth. The legend and outreach of Hawkman began to grow further and deeper into the DC Universe. Through reincarnation and later series, Hawkman has many connections with other heroes in the DC Universe.
-Superman: It was revealed in the Brave and the Bold #10 (Apr. 2008) that the Silent Knight was Brian Kent, making Hawkman an ancestor of Jonathan Kent. (*)
-Doctor Fate: From 1999 to 2006, Carter I and Shiera I's son Hector Hall was the wearer of the golden helmet. (*)
-Golden Age Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor: Hector Hall marries Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor's daughter, Lyta. They even share a grandson. (*)
-Neil Guiman's Dream of the Endless: Carter I and Shiera I's grandson was chosen as the successor to Morpheus, the original Dream in the Sandman series. (*)
-Neil Guiman's Dream of the Endless: Carter I and Shiera I's grandson was chosen as the successor to Morpheus, the original Dream in the Sandman series. (*)
-Supergirl: It was revealed that in a former life, Hawkman was Catar-Ol, the curator of the Kryptonian Museum and also Kara-El's teacher. He perished when Krypton exploded. (*)
Batman: Carter Hall had a friendship with the Wayne Family, apparently before Bruce Wayne was born. Batman found Carter Hall's journal hidden in the Wayne Manor by his parents or another ancestor. (*) (*)
-Blackhawks: Carter Hall established a base on Blackhawk Island and led the Blackhawks (Also the Challengers of the Unknown, Red Tornado, Starman) in missions to discover the Dark Multiverse. There is even a statue of Hawkman in honor of him. (*)

We need to take a moment to look at Hawkgirl's name. Shiera's last name was Sanders (her last name appeared for the first time in All-Star Comics No. 5, Jun. 1941), but Speed's last name was Saunders (Detective Comics No. 1, Mar. 1937). How did they connect Shiera and Speed? In Flash Comics No. 86 (Aug. 1947), back in the 17th-century, there was a villain named the Purple Pilgrim. He was captured and sentenced to death by Judge Ely Sanders, an ancestor of Shiera. Before he died, the Purple Pilgrim vowed to return and kill all of the Sanders family's descendants. He came after Shiera during the Golden Age but was defeated.

| Left: Flash Comics #86 / Right: Hawkman Vol. 4 No. 42 |
The Crisis on Infinite Earths wiped him out of existence, but writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray brought him back in Hawkman Vol. 4 No. 42 (Sept. 2005). Speed had found out about the curse of the Purple Pilgrim and changed the spelling of his family's name so that they wouldn't be found. Not sure how that would fool an evil spirit villain, but hey, comics. And that is how Shiera's last name was spelled differently from Speed and Kendra.

| Stonechat Museum (Hawkman Secret Files and Origins, 2002) |
After Carter Hall returned from the Hawk Realm, he rejoined the Justice Society and served as a mentor for the younger members. Hawkgirl went down to St. Roch to solve her parents' murder, so Carter joined her there and it became their base until 2011. They worked with the Stonechat Museum and Carter became a part-time professor at St. Roch University. Kendra eventually tracked down the corrupt cop who killed her parents but they kept St. Roch as their home. After finding the murderers, Kendra became a bit more stable and decided to break away from Carter and join the Justice League, although her base was still in St. Roch. And then the Black Reign event came along.
 |
| Black Reign: JSA #56-Hawkman #23- JSA #57-Hawkman #24-JSA #58-Hawkman #25 |
Hawkman led the JSA in the battle against Black Adam over the country of Kahndaq. This was the series that the Black Adam movie was very loosely based on and it is one of the best-written events during the entire JSA and Hawkman Vol. 4 runs. Hawkman was becoming more violent and savage in the lead-up to the series and he pretty much stayed this way until the Flashpoint event (2011) wiped everything out. Then three months later the (infamous?) Identity Crisis happened.
 |
| Identity Crisis (2004-2005) |
Identity Crisis was a dark event that brought tragic real-life circumstances into the lives of the heroes and almost destroyed the Justice League. Sue Dibny, the wife of Ralph Dibny (The Elongated Man) was brutally murdered. In the course of tracking down the killer, it was revealed that Sue had been raped by Doctor Light a few years ago. After being caught, he threatened to kill the loved ones of the Justice Leaguers. Hawkman and several other heroes decided to have Zatanna basically perform a lobotomy on him to protect their families. While they were doing this, Batman came along and strongly opposed what they were doing. They ended up erasing ten minutes of Batman's memory to continue their plan. Some were hesitant about what they were doing, but Hawkman and others never wavered from doing what they had to do to protect their loved ones. The event tore apart the heroes for a while and strengthened the image of Hawkman as a hard-core character who would do anything, including killing, to stop evil.

| Justice League of America #116 (Mar. 1975) / The New Titans #72 (Jan. 1991) / Hawkman Vol. 4 #38 (May 2005) |
The new version of Golden Eagle (Charley Parker) was another wild tale that ended rather bizarrely. As it turns out, he was actually the son of the Hawkman and Hawkwoman imposters Fel Andar and Sharon Parker and his Thanagarian name was Ch'al Andar. He was abandoned by his parents but grew up in foster homes on the West Coast. He became the Golden Eagle to get his revenge on Hawkman for sending his father to Thanagar's prison. Carter defeated him in a final battle by breaking his arm and putting his left eye out. Hawkman sent him back to Thanagar where he was pardoned on Thanagar and then joined the Thanagarian army. During the Rann-Thanagar War, he was reunited with his father Fel Andar right before Blackfire killed Fel. He commanded his own ship for a time until he was defeated in battle by Viza Aziv and became her sex slave on her ship. He was eventually freed but he has not resurfaced since. (*)
Since his first appearance in 1975, Golden Eagle had the potential to be Hawkman's sidekick but sadly, DC wasted that potential. With everything being rebooted after Flashpoint, it is very possible we could see a better story for Golden Eagle someday.
 |
| Rann-Thanagar War #1-6 (2005) |
Soon after the Black Reign and Identity Crisis events, war broke out again between Thanagar and Rann. A rogue group of Thanagarians transported Rann into the Thanagarian star system to conquer them but the plan backfired and caused Thanagar's obit to become unstable. Many Thanagarians were able to make it over to Rann and now the bitter enemies were living on the same planet, blaming the other for what happened and ready to go into all-out war. Adam Strange asked Carter and Kendra to come to help him prevent the war. On Rann, they once again met Shayera Thal who had joined the Thanagarian army. War eventually broke out and Shayera was killed by Blackfire, the sister of Teen Titan's Starfire. Onimar Synn was revealed to be behind the war so the Rannians and Thanagarians were forced to work together to defeat him. Just as the Rann-Thanagar War appeared over, the Infinite Crisis began. (*)
 |
| Hawkman #49 (Infinite Crisis Tie-In, 2005) |
The Hawks did not have a very big role in the Infinite Crisis event. They worked to bring Rann and Thanagar together to fight the threat of the Infinite Crisis. Afterward, Carter decides to stay on Thanagar and help rebuild Rann as well as capture Blackfire and avenge Shayera Thal's death. Kendra decides to go back to Earth and take over the job of running the Stonechat Museum until Carter returns.
Hawkman Vol. 4 ends here at issue No. 49, making it the longest-running Hawkman series to date. The series continued as a Hawkgirl series from issue No. 50 and it picks up one year after the events of the Infinite Crisis. (*)

| JSA Classified #22 (March 2007) / Hawkgirl #65 (Aug. 2007) |
During the Hawkgirl series (2006-2007), Hawkman eventually became commissioner of the Thanagarian police while Kendra was running the Stonechat Museum in St. Roch. Blackfire attacked both Carter and Kendra but they were able to defeat her and nullify her powers. (*) As mentioned previously, the Hawkgirl series closed with the defeat of Hath-Set and Shiera leaving Kendra's body for good. Or so we thought. (*)
 |
| Hawkgirl #66 (September 2007) |
In 2006, the JSA series and the JLA series came to a close. There was one important event that happened towards the end of the JSA run. Hector Hall's run as Doctor Fate came to a close. The story of Hector Hall is a long one and you can read about it here. Here are just the basics. Hector Hall (son of Carter Hall I and Shiera Sanders I) and Lyta Trevor (daughter of the Earth-2's Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor) had a son named Daniel. The Dream of the Endless, Morpheus took Daniel from them and set it up for Hector and Lyta's son to become the new Dream of the Endless. Hector's soul was trapped in the Dreaming but after the birth of Daniel, he was reincarnated and chosen to become the new Doctor Fate. (*)
 |
| JSA #24 (July 2001) |
Hector made many appearances as Doctor Fate in the JSA and Hawkman Vol. 4 series. Towards the end of the JSA series, the Spectre went on a rampage and tried to destroy all magic. He threw Hector and Lyta on top of a mountain, where demonic creatures attacked them. They were both about to die when Lyta accepted Daniel's offer to go into the Dream, Lyta and accepted the invitation, leaving their frozen bodies on the mountaintop, never to return. (*)
 |
| Northwind / Infinity Inc. #37 (Apr. 1987) / Hawkman Vol. 4 #19 (Nov. 2003) |
While we're here, let's take a closer look at the third member of Hawkman's son/sidekicks; Norda Cantrell, also known as Northwind. Norda's parents asked Carter and Shiera parents to be his godparents so Norda and Hector spent a lot of time together as kids. Eventually, Norda joined the Infinity Inc. with Hector Hall (Silver Scarab), Lyta Trevor (Fury), and others. After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Norda returned to Feithera and took his place as their leader. While there, the Feitherans gradually evolved further into a bird-like creatures and lost the ability to talk. For some undisclosed reasons, New Feithera was destroyed so the Feitherans went to Kahndaq to help Black Adam overthrow the military and bring freedom to its people. He confronted Hawkman a few times but did not acknowledge his relationship with Carter. Last we know, he is still with his fellow Feitherans in Kahndaq. You can read up on Northwind's history here.
 |
| Justice Society of America #1 (Feb. 2007) / Justice League of America #5 (Feb. 2007) |
In 2007, Carter rejoined the Justice Society (*) and Kendra was accepted once again into the Justice League. (*) Carter's time with the Justice Society ended when he had a disagreement with Jay Garrick and Alan Scott that divided the team. They decided to suspend Carter but he resigned and never came back to the series. On an interesting note, we learn that Hawkman built the famous Justice Society round table. (*)
 |
| Justice Society of America #23 (March 2009) |
After Hawkman left the Justice Society, there were other events such as the Rann-Thanagar Holy War, the Trinity saga, and then the Final Crisis.
At the end of the Final Crisis, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are seen trying to save people from a dimensional tunnel that is collapsing but it appears that they are killed in the blast. We later find out that they were hospitalized and released. Kendra leaves the Justice League after this event and does not return. (*) (*)
 |
| Blackest Night (2009-2010) |
In 2009, the Blackest Night event took place. Carter and Kendra are at the Stonechat Museum, once again squabbling over whether they love each other or not when they are attacked and brutally killed by the Black Lanterns Elongated Man and Sue Dibny. They are turned into Black Lanterns themselves and join the Black Lantern Corps of the undead. (*) In the end, the Black Lanterns are defeated and the dead are brought back to life, including Hawkman and Hawkgirl. However, when Hawkgirl took off her helmet, it was revealed to be Shiera, not Kendra. The Hawks embrace, finally truly back together since the Zero Hour event in 1994. Kendra I disappears after this event and is never seen again. (*)

| Blackest Night #8 (May 2010) |
Before they departed for home, the Star Sapphire gave Shiera a shard of a crystallized bone, telling her that it was from the power battery of the Zamarons. When they return to St. Roch, the shard attaches itself to Carter's Claw of Horus and leads them to Hawkworld, a place in another dimension between Earth and Thanagar. They battle Hath-Set and Queen Shiva (Shiera's mother), and after Shiera kills Hath-Set, Queen Shiva escapes to Zamaron.
In Green Lantern #46 (Nov. 2009), it was revealed that Prince Khufu and Chay-ara's remains were the power source for the Zamaron's power battery. Their love for each other was so powerful that it was used as a power source for the Star Sapphire Corps. As mentioned earlier, Star Sapphire had given Shiera a shard from their crystallized bodies in the power battery, leading them to Hawkworld. They followed Queen Shiva through a portal and ended up on Zamaron. With Star Sapphire's help, they defeated Queen Shiva and returned to St. Roch, hoping they could live the rest of their lives in peace.
 |
| Brightest Day #18 (March 2011) |
As soon as they returned, the White Lantern appeared before them and told them that they had to be apart from each other (Remember that Hancock movie?), with no explanation given. Carter and Shiera refused and were immediately turned into dust and killed. A little while later, they are brought back as air elementals and after defeating the dark entity, only Carter is brought back and it appears that Shiera remains as an air elemental. In the last scene, we see Carter trashing the Stonechat Museum as he screams in anger over the loss of Shiera. (*)
 |
| Brightest Day #24 (June 2011) |
That ends the story of the Hawks that began in 1999 and continued through 2011. Kendra Saunders was dead and gone and she would not return until a rebooted version shows up in Dark Nights Metal in 2017. Hawkman would soon be rewritten as the Savage Hawkman in the New 52 series. Shiera has not returned since. It was a very weak ending to the 13-year adventure that expanded the Hawks' story in many ways. A month later, the Flashpoint event takes place and the continuity of the New Earth that began with the Crisis on Infinite Earths ends. The events that happened between 1985-2011 are either erased or placed on an alternate Earth. The New 52 was about to start.
