Carter Hall (Earth-1955)

"I'm a superhero! And I say run! I'm Hawkman, dammit! Now get your fucking ass out of here or find something to fight with!"

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.
