Groundhawk is a hammer-handed supe and "supervillain" to the Nubian Prince and Nubia. His "villianous role" was a storyline engineered by Vought International to make the Nubians more marketable as a supe powered couple.
==The Boys Series==
===Background===
====Film Career====
During the Cold War era, Groundhawk co-starred with Crimson Countess in the American propaganda film Crimson.

Groundhawk agreed to turn into a supervillain as part of a performance orchestrated by Vought International to have someone for Nubian Prince and Nubia to fight.
===The Boys Presents: Diabolical===
====Nubian vs Nubian====
Eight years prior, Groundhawk perpetrates a staged bank robbery and refuses to give up. He fights the Nubian Prince, whom he easily defeats, but Nubia comes to his aid and together they neutralize him.
In the present day, Groundhawk is visited by their daughter, Maya Nubian, to whom he confesses that he is friends with her parents and that Vought orchestrated the robbery. Maya blackmails him into helping her reconcile her parents to prevent them from divorcing, to which he agrees.
The next day, he pretends to attack Maya, and Nubia and the Nubian Prince attack and beat him. They quit for a while, and he exchanges a glance with Maya before being beaten unconscious by the two heroes again.
===Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman===
On the Vought News Network, Cameron Coleman reports on Groundhawk being checked into Vought's Global Wellness Center to battle his alcoholism for the fifth time after attacking various police officers near a local bar in Chicago.
==Personality==
Groundhawk is a rude, foul-mouthed and grumpy individual. He seemingly can't go two sentences without a swear word and doesn't bother to watch his language when children are in the room. However, despite his abrasive personality, he's not actually a bad guy. He's sympathetic to Maya Nubian's plight and even tries to comfort her after telling her the harsh truth about how Vought staged her parents' heroic deeds. He also seems genuinely happy for her when their plan to get them back together works.
Groundhawk suffers from depression and self-pity, and since his retirement has gotten out of shape and has gained a lot of weight. His power of having hammers for hands has rendered him unable to do basic things in his daily life, which has contributed to his anger issues and depressive state.

*Superhuman Strength: Groundhawk is strong enough to fight off countless people with ease as well as flip over a car with his hammers.
*Superhuman Durability: Due to Compound V, Groundhawk gained superhuman durability which allows him to withstand massive amounts of damage without being weakened.

He can also survive being electrocuted and getting thrown into a car with enough force to damage it.
