Make Them Laugh

oh...I thought there was like 4 or 5 versions of cartoon justice league series during the past 30 or so years ... wasn't the first cartoon series called Super Friends??

I bet wikipedia would tell which Hawkes appeared in which JL cartoon series...

in the most recent JL cartoon movies...there are no Hawks.

I think Hawkman was created first...lol

eternalfate

Make Them Laugh

Don't know why I posted that.
Hawkman did come first. must have been posting on so many boards at the time I typed that or mistyped.

If Hawkgirl came first, that's a shocker. Just seems logical that Hawkman character was first or they were introduced together... since they are together all the time, even when we know one of them probably are dead.

we know that both got their powers at the same time... but I think Hawkman appeared first in both comics and cartoons

Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (1940), and was a featured character in that title throughout the 1940s. This Hawkman was Carter Hall, a reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu. Hall discovered that the mysterious "ninth metal" could negate the effects of gravity and allow him to fly. He donned a costume with large wings to allow him to control his flight and became the crimefighter, Hawkman. He also had a companion hawk named Big Red that assisted him in fighting crime. An archaeologist by profession, Hall used ancient weapons from the museum that he curated.


Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Dennis Neville, Shiera Saunders first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (Jan. 1940), in the same 12-page story in which Fox and Neville introduced Hawkman.[1] Archaeologist Carter Hall has a dream that he is an ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu, who has a lover, named Shiera in the original story, or Princess Chay-Ara in modern retellings. The next day, Carter meets a woman named Shiera who looks exactly like the woman in his dream. Carter dons the identity of Hawkman and Shiera becomes Carter's girlfriend. Shiera first appears as Hawkgirl in All Star Comics #5 (July 1941), in a costume created by Sheldon Moldoff,[2] based on Neville's Hawkman costume. During Hawkman's solo segment of the Justice Society of America story, Shiera dons a spare set of Nth metal wings developed by Hawkman, and masquerades as Hawkman in order to trick some criminals. Shiera continues to wear the costume and wings in later stories, eventually adopting the identity of Hawkgirl.
