Hawk

Hawk flies in, he saves the day

**Zack Hawkes**, aka **Hawk**, is an expert at flying and an amateur actor. His sometimes arrogant and selfish behaviour often get him into trouble with the rest of his team, yet they know that they can rely on him and value him as a friend.

Zack Hawkes, also known as Hawk, is a gifted test pilot who is more at home in the air than on the ground, both due to his piloting skill and his huge ego. He's not much of a hand-to-hand fighter. He has used a Muay Thai fighting stance more than once, getting knocked down each time he did it. He also was not able to swim until Lioness and a lifeguard named Laura taught him the basics. Like the other male members, he is very muscular.

Before his time with the Alpha Teens, Hawk was enrolled in a flight school where he developed a rivalry with another pilot named Bogey. They pushed each other to see who was the best pilot, but Bogey's actions almost got them both killed. Both men were expelled after Bogey blamed Hawk for the incident during an inquest.

Hawk's aforementioned ego annoys the rest of the team (and almost everybody else he meets) and sometimes is counterproductive on their missions. Because of this, he often strikes out with the ladies, including Lioness when he tried to pick her up when they first met. In spite of this, Hawk is very serious about protecting innocent lives as well as his piloting skills (e.g. he refuses to evacuate a damaged aircraft unless he makes sure it lands safely).

Hawk is a serious actor, when not fighting villainy or testing vehicles for Lee Industries. His two biggest claims to fame are starring in the sci-fi b-movie, "Radioactive Island" in the first season and advertising "Worrywart" wart cream in a TV commercial in the second; the latter he is teased for. He is also becoming a good friend to Shark, despite his clean freak nature contrasting with Shark's sloppiness.

Hawk has light red hair and green eyes; his Alpha Team uniform is blue and orange. His personalized equipment includes the Jetwing and the Rotarbike 3000. Hawk has parents and possibly more family, which he describes as one being "...more superficial than the next". His catchphrases are: "Hawk flies in, he saves the day" and "Oh yeah, who rocks?!".

## Appearance

Hawk is a young man of about 1,85m height. He has very short red hair with an individual pattern cut into it (it resembles an airplane). He has green eyes and like the rest of the team he is very athletic and muscular.

His mission outfit is dark blue with red, white and grey details.

He is often seen wearing a dark blue and red jacket with red pants and white shoes. Sometimes he wears blue jeans, a dark red top with white details and a white and red wristband.

Hawk pays a lot attention to his outward appearance and has a high level of personal grooming. He always brings a mirror, even to missions (cf. "Revelation", season 2 episode 2).

Hawke - the chief pilot of the chief representative and exaggerated ego.

He genuinely feels compelling and constantly remind everyone about it, plunging into a stupor of these same "all" (unless, of course, is not accustomed to all ATOMtsy). Hawke also lives with the slogan "There is no limit to perfection," so constantly that "irresistible" supports hairstyles, peelings, manicures and other things (for example, only he can voluntarily stand at 8am to put himself in order).

Hawke dreams of becoming an actor and constantly teeter on various casting, but it is the people's love and find it was not possible. While most famous for his work was an advertisement antiborodavochnogo cream plus another advertising shampoo and bit parts in movies ("Radioactive Island", "cream sauce fate" and "Return of the Revenge of the dragon's son"). However, in spite of everything Hawke tries hard to be a star, putting notify everyone.

Given his self-esteem, it seems that he simply narcissistic egotist, but do not shoot from the hip: in fact Zack lifetime taught that he must pursue an acting career and be a star (comes it from his father, actor series, which was to boy hero). Therefore, regardless of any circumstances, to overcome this setting Hawke and failed, even though much better he can fly.

Speaking of the latter, Hawke, never graduated from flight school (he was expelled after the incident with the Gods), is still a high-class pilot, able to control the fighter jet Strato class and even the space shuttle. Entertainment himself, too, picks up associated with height - a flight on the wings of the jet and bungee (bungee jumping).

Against the background of the rest of it seems a bit of a coward, but it is rather a reluctance to go into the thick of unnecessarily; but if one of his friends in danger, Hawke always comes to the rescue. He speaks Thai boxing, but not such a good fighter (another reason not to look for trouble).

Great fear Hawk - is water. From childhood he could not swim and was afraid even to go into the water, but in the 2nd season, he overcame his phobia for the sake of Sarka.

In romantic relationships Hawk "lit up" in particular: from "a single skirt will not miss." Most of his adventures were over, to put it mildly, unfortunate; Hawks can boast only favors Laurie, a swimming instructor.

## Personality

Hawk may be difficult to get along with, but once one knows him he is a true and loyal friend. His number one priority is becoming a famous actor, which is why he thinks very high of himself and has a lot of selfconfidence. He tries to present himself in the best way possible and does a lot of poses in front of any kind of camera.

Because he thinks he is a talented actor he also has the impression that women like him a lot. Unfortunately, it is much to the contrary: Women often cannot stand his annoying behaviour or leave him once they find out that he is not really famous. Even with the help of a girl (in this case Lioness) he is unable to have a proper date and things go terribly wrong.

In the very beginning Hawk makes clear that he would leave the team anytime in case he gets an offer for an acting job. It becomes obvious though that the team means a lot to him and that he finds it hard to leave them (in "A Paine by another Name, Part II" [season 1, episode 2] he cannot forget about them and decides to join them again later).

Hawks deepest fear is failing to become famous and being embarressed during a performance, and mutant zombie fangirls.

## Relationships

Axel Manning - Hawk respects Axel as the leader of the team, but not even he is safe from Hawk's sometimes annyoing comments. Yet Axel does not react like Lioness and takes it with humour instead.

Lioness - Whenever Hawk makes a comment, Lioness is annoyed by it and teases him with a witty reply, which in return angers Hawk. When it comes to difficult situations, though, they know that they can rely on each other.

Shark - Hawk and Shark are best friends and they spend a lot of time together. Even though they are a weird duo and the rest of the team does not want to leave them alone as they fear they could get in trouble, Hawk and Shark proved that they are capable of solving problems together.

King - King seems to be someone who gets along least with Hawk, though he probably does better than Lioness.

**Kip Hawkes** - Hawk stated that in his family one is more arrogant than another. Same goes for his father. He played the main part in "Macho Force" and Hawk admires him a lot for this. He cannot deny any of his father's wishes and has a very good relationship to him.

**Bogey** - Hawk met Bogey at pilot school and they developed a rival relationship, always trying to prove that they are better than the other one. In the end, Hawk can show that he is by far the better pilot.

## Abilities

Hawk is an excellent pilot and even knows a lot about the technical side of flying, as he manages to repair the Stratojet without Garrett's help (cf. "High Frontier"). He is even able to fly a space station. He knows that his abilities in this area are very good, which is why this is one of his catchphrases: "Ain't nothing that flies the Hawk-man can't handle".

Hawk is a terrible actor, most likely because his self-confident attitude gets in way with his acting and prevents him from taking serious parts in real movies.

## Personal equipment

Personal transport Hawke were Rotorbike 3000 (Bike helicopter 1 season), Jetwing (ion wings); Strato-Mech and Bladejet (Season 2 gear, replacing those that were in the first), and Turboboard (reactive board).
