Shayera Hol of the planet Thanagar is a complicated woman. She was sent to Earth as a spy and advance scout for a planned invasion by her people. She infiltrated the Justice League, fighting alongside the other heroes as Hawkgirl.
Hawkgirl is a "hit first" sort of woman. She loves a problem that can be solved with a solid swing of her electric mace. She's not a touchy-feely sort of woman, her feelings for Green Lantern John Stewart not withstanding. Her sense of humor is biting.

When she is revealed, and unmasked (shocker: that IS a mask--I wasn't sure if it was her face or not), she becomes the heart of whole second story about the nature of loyalty, betrayal of forgiveness. Yep, complicated. And awesome.

I do not know Hawkgirl - she sounds like an interesting character to get into.

Haha, I love her sense of humor! Was that a show for kids?? o_o
ReplyDeleteIt's debatable. Animated shows these days are not automatically kids shows. I watched the series with the husband and the eight year old. Stuff like this just flew right over her head.
DeleteBoy have I missed out. Never heard of Hawkgirl either!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Hawkgirl, but didn't know much about her.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a fun character.
That Flash dig is awesome. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLoved Hawkgirl in JL and JLU. She has had such a complicated story in the comics. I do like the new Hawkgirl in Legends of Tomorrow though. I love the reincarnation angle (from the Golden Age comics).
