Hawkman (New 52)

*"You think like me: a warrior first. I don't remember much, but the battlefields... those haunt me. The pauses so brief. Just moments to speak in the caged whispers of doom."*

## **Summary**

**Katar Hol**, known on Earth as **Carter Hall** and as the superhero **Hawkman**, is a character in the DC Comics universe. In the New 52, his character takes on an alien origin, hailing from the planet Thanagar. His Thanagarian physiology provides him with superior strength and durability, setting him apart as a formidable warrior. In this incarnation of Hawkman, the Nth metal, an extraterrestrial element, is fundamental to his powers and abilities. His Thanagarian strength and resilience are significantly enhanced by the Nth metal incorporated into his armor and weapons. This exotic material also bestows upon Hawkman the abilities of flight, rapid healing, and manipulation of the armor's form. In this continuity, Katar Hol, a noble from Thanagar, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him the Nth metal. The crash results in amnesia, causing him to forget his original identity and his knowledge of the Nth metal's capabilities. Taking on the identity of Carter Hall and working as an archaeologist, he gradually rediscovers the potential of the Nth metal, and as a result, assumes the mantle of Hawkman to protect Earth. The New 52 Hawkman storylines delve into his efforts to reconcile his life as Carter Hall with his responsibilities as Hawkman, his quest to regain his memories and mastery over the Nth metal, and his confrontations with a host of terrestrial and extraterrestrial threats. His interactions with other characters, his past as a Thanagarian noble, and his adaptation to Earth's culture contribute to his character development.
