History: Katar Hol is a refugee from the planet Thanagar.
A former member of it's corrupt police force, Hol was sent to
Earth to bring in former police captain Byth Rok. After reading
the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, as well
as other historic documents, Katar Hol became convinced that freedom
was a goal worth dying for. After leading a revolution on Thanagar,
Katar, alongside many refugees, fled back to Earth, where he defected
to Earth. During the events of Zero Hour, Katar Hol became merged
with the spirits of previous Hawk beings and ultimately lost control
of himself. After a battle with the Hawkgod in it's own dimension,
Katar returned with the spirits totally merged with his own. He
recently proposed marriage to his longtime partner, Shayera Thal,
who accepted.
Powers and Abilities: Katar Hol's powers as a Hawk avatar
have yet to be fully revealed. He can fly at great speed through
natural wings. He heals from wounds incredibly fast, can communicate
with animals, read the auras of people, and is resistant to the
vacuum of space. He is slowly developing resistances to other
forms of attack. During a moment of great stress, Katar was able
to mindblast an enemy, but it is unknown if this power will develop
further. He also has all of the knowledge acquired by the Hawk
Avatars throughout history which makes him an expert warrior,
archaeologist, gunfighter, linguist and many other things.
Weapons and Equipment: Hawkman is an expert with all sorts
of ancient weaponry, as well as most modern ones. He regularly
uses a mace, sling, throwing stars, and a huge Bundi dagger (a
katar, appropriately enough.), as well as a Thanagarian gravity
pistol. He has access to a Thanagarian absorbascon, which allows
him to read the minds of any sentient being and implants that
knowledge in his own brain. Lastly, he has access to most of the
advanced technology of the Thanagarians and the peoples that they
conquered.
