Carter Hall (Earth-8011)

"It's destiny. I waited thousands of years for us to meet each other again. I can wait a few more."

- - Hawkman to Shayera Hol

Carter Hall, born Joseph Garner, is a former archaeologist who became obsessed with the ancient Egypt following the discovery of the Thanagarians being linked to the ancient human civilization. After finding out about the lives of Katar-Hol and Chay-Ara, Hall became convinced he was the reincarnation of the past, and donned an advanced costume to mimic Thanagarian nature, naming himself Hawkman.
