[dhampiravidi]

notes on my portrayal of Hawkwoman, previously known as Hawkgirl

First off, here's summaries for the "canon" versions of her that I'm taking bits of inspiration from:

Shayera Hol (DCAU): she was an advance scout for the Thanagarians who ended up siding w/Earth. Eventually, she has a kid w/John Stewart, after breaking off her engagement to Thanagarian Hro Talak. She barely interacts w/Carter Hall, her reincarnated lover from Ancient Egypt. Thanagarians have natural wings and an enhanced physiology & look 30 when they're a century old. She's got red hair and green eyes.

Shayera Hol; née Thal (Prime Earth): she's the reincarnation of the angel Shrra, who was cursed by The Presence when she spoke to Ktar Deathbringer, a servant of an evil entity. In her modern life, she was a Thanagarian officer who came to Earth w/her partner Katar Hol. They joined the JSA as heroes. Later, she becomes the empress of Thanagar Prime. She & Katar sacrifice themselves. The Presence talks to them in their original identities & they ask to be reincarnated in the 40s w/the JSA. They survive to the 40th Century. She's got red hair as Shrra and Shayera, but Shrra has dark brown eyes while Shayera has green eyes.

Shiera Sanders (New Earth): 1st life was as Chay-Ara. She & Prince Khufu were killed by Hath-Set using a dagger made of Nth Metal. The dagger started their reincarnation cycle. In the 20th century, the couple became heroes using belts of Nth Metal. Radiation slowed their aging. Their son Hector Hall would become Dr. Fate. She's got brown hair and brown eyes.

Kendra Muñoz-Saunders (Earth-2): because of her reputation as a treasure hunter, the World Army hired her and gave her wings. She works with the new heroes the Flash (Jason Garrick) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott). She has enhanced senses and she's highly skilled w/both handguns and the crossbow. She's got brown hair and hazel eyes.

Shayera ? (DC New Talents Showcase): She's a Thanagarian cop who poses as a human, telling her Chicago colleagues that she's on loan from the GCPD.

Here's the parts I'm using:

In her current life, she's Shayera Thal/Muñoz.

Reincarnation's due to the combination of her previous life, Kesi, successfully praying to the goddess Aset--asking Aset to heal her beloved (Tanus) who had been fatally stabbed, by using Kesi's life to save him--and the blade's Nth Metal.

She has auburn hair and hazel eyes in her current form (she changes her appearance when she reincarnates).

Shayera has never gone by Hawkgirl as an adult, just Hawkwoman.

She's a Thanagarian cop who came to Earth to investigate a case, then decided to stay on the planet to study human police.

Her Nth metal mace (which has been used by pretty much every version of the character) has the following properties: generates electricity (for attacks or defibrillation), easily disturbs/blocks magic, generates heat, regulates the wearer's body temperature.

She prefers using her mace, but her subconscious retains weapon proficiency from her past lives, allowing her to use handguns and a crossbow with little fault.

She'll have an AU where she's the empress of Thanagar.

Earth-82 Teams, Part I

i actually made this post forever ago but i decided to remake it, since i’ve since changed some backstories around!

The Justice League of America (Founders) 

Bruce Wayne (Batman) - Bruce witnessed his parents’ death when he was seven years old and after that he was put into the custody of Alfred Pennyworth (his family’s butler) and Leslie Thompkins (a doctor friend of Thomas’s). During his college years, Bruce sought out training so that he could eventually return to Gotham and attempt to eradicate crime. During this time, he joined the League of Assassins for a while and fell into a brief relationship with Talia al Ghul. He became Batman at 23 and adopted Dick Grayson a year later. 

Clark Kent | Kal-El (Superman) - Kal-El is the only biological son of Jor-El and Lara-El (nee Lor-Van), who was born during Krypton’s last days. Jor and Lara sent him and his older adopted brother Val to Earth, with the hope that they would be taken in by a human family who would raise him well. When they landed they were found by Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent (nee Clark), a childless couple. Martha convinced Jonathan that they should adopt the two boys, they eventually chose to give them the human names Clark Joseph Kent and Val Harold Kent, raising them as normal humans, despite their strange origins. He became Superman at 22, a few months after being employed at the Daily Planet. 

Diana, daughter of Hippolyta (Wonder Woman) - Diana, Princess of Themyscira, was Queen Hippolyta’s and General Phillipus’s oldest daughter. Made from clay, Diana is one of the results of multiple goddesses deciding to give Hippolyta her wish to have a child. Diana grew up semi-isolated on Paradise Island, surrounded by the Amazons but lacking company her own age, other than her twin sister Nubia. She was almost three thousand years old when Steve Trevor landed on Themyscira. After a series of challenges that she won, Diana was chosen as Champion of the Gods and left Themyscira with Steve. She helped end WWI but didn’t return to Themyscira at that point, because she had fallen in love with Steve. She stayed with him until he died, before returning to Paradise Island. She did this several more times and at one point brought a young orphaned baby girl back with her to Themyscira. Hippolyta chose to adopt the girl and raised her as Diana’s youngest sister. Diana chose the name Donna, in honor of a fallen friend. Diana became known as the Wonder Woman in certain conspiracy and history circles around the time of the Gulf War.  

Arthur Curry | Orin (Aquaman) - King of Atlantis, Arthur is the son of Atlanna, the former Queen of Atlantis, and Tom Curry, a human lighthouse keeper. He was raised in the surface world but was informed of his Atlantean heritage at a young age. His father got sick when Arthur was fifteen and, afraid, Arthur fled to Atlantis. Once there, he learned his mother was believed to be dead and that her husband (Orvax) had been made king. Arthur was welcomed to the kingdom, as a member of the royal family. Arthur was there for two months before Orvax was killed by a rampaging sea monster and the Council of Atlantis was split about who should inherit the throne, but ends up choosing his younger half-brother Orm, with Nuidis Vulko as his advisor. At first, Arthur seemed welcome at Orm’s side, but he was soon informed by a mute servant that Orm planned to have him killed. The servant, an Atlantean mutant named Dolphin, helped him escape and took him to the stronghold of the rebellion that she was a member of. He, with the help of the growing rebellion led by Mera of Xebel, overthrew Orm and Arthur - now known as Orin throughout the kingdom - took his place on the throne.

Kendra Muñoz-Saunders (Hawkgirl) - Kendra is the reincarnation of Chay-Ara, an Egyptian priestess of Isis who - alongside her lover, Prince Khufu, and a priest of Hathor, Hath-Set - found Thanagarian nth metal, which turned them into Thanagarian-human hybrids and made it so they would reincarnate each time they die. This lifetime Kendra is an archaeologist, along the vein of Lara Croft. On her twenty-first birthday, she received her first memory of her life as Chay-Ara and has since retrieved many more of both Chay-Ara’s and her other past lives. 

Barry Allen (The Flash II) - Barry Allen was destined to become the Flash, not that he knows this. When he was eleven years old Eobard Thawne traveled back in time from the twenty-fifth century and murdered his mother before disappearing again. Barry’s father was blamed for his wife’s murder and imprisoned for the crime, despite Barry’s protests. Barry was adopted by Jay and Joan Garrick, old friends of his parents. Barry is a certifiable genius and managed to graduate high school at sixteen. Barry went through college and got a degree in biochemistry and could have gone farther and become a renowned scientist but instead chose to become a CSI for the CCPD. Barry became the second Flash (though for about six months he was known only as the Scarlet Speedster) when he was twenty-two, due to a lightning strike which hit him and caused him to crash into a bookshelf of chemicals. Unknown to him, the lightning was actually the Speed Force choosing him.

Dinah Lance (Black Canary II) - Dinah is the eldest daughter of Larry and DeeDee Lance, born with a dominant metagene. The metagene activated during a traumatic childhood experience when she almost fell from a great height but managed to stop herself from hitting the ground with a powerful scream. Dinah grew up in Gotham City with her best friend, Zee Zatara. She was very close with her mom’s best friends, John Zatara and Ted Grant, seeing them as her uncles. When Dinah turned eighteen years old, she left Gotham and moved to Seattle, where she started college, joined a (pretty good) punk band, and became known as the “Lady in Black” - a vigilante that stopped muggers and rapists with a single scream and a few well-placed kicks. Little did Dinah know that she was following in the footsteps of her mother, the first Black Canary. 

Zee Zatara (Zatanna) - Zatanna is the daughter of Giovanni “John” Zatara, a golden-aged superhero called the Magician who had been a member of the JSA and was capable of some magic (a descendant of the Homo Magi), and Sindella, one of the last pure Homo Magi. Zee was born with magical potential the likes of which few could compare. Due to John being close friends with DeeDee Lance and Thomas Wayne, Zee grew up as a friend of Dinah Lance and Bruce Wayne. John decided to move to Europe when Zee was ten years old and while Zee lost contact with Bruce, she stayed close to Dinah. During her time in Europe, John sought out magicians to help train Zee. When she was eighteen, Zee decided to leave Europe (and her on-again-off-again boyfriend John Constantine) and move to Las Vegas to try and get a start as a stage magician, following in the footsteps of her father.

So according to the Supergirl at Super Hero High novel, I’m guessing this Hawkgirl is based on Kendra Muñoz-Saunders.

[dykerachelsummers]

if u could write/direct/create any kind of dc show/movie- what would it be

i actually have a really in-depth post in my drafts that’s my idea for a batfam show! also @flashhwing and i have had a pretty indepth conversation abt the potential for a zatanna show

movie-wise i’d love to make a starfire movie! either that or a tomb raider-esque kendra!hawkgirl movie that has her come into her memories of shayera (this would go the reincarnation route) and have her regret and make up for actions as a treasure hunter (idk man i have ideas akshsjsh)

tbh i know that this is going to make hawkman/hawkgirl shippers sad/mad, but i think hawkgirl works a lot better away from hawkman.

not like they couldn’t work well together but it seems like in practice the male writers get tempted to make her the softness to his anger or the one smoothing things over in social interactions or whatever... they want to slot her in a generic love interest role. When she’s not with him they often* let her stand more on her own, she gets to be a bit rougher around the edges and have clear internal conflict focused on her and not him.

*i say often because i have heard truly terrible things about hawkgirl: the maw

#sorry dean #dc comics #hawkgirl #hawkman #kendra saunders #kendra muñoz saunders #UNSURE HOW MUCH DC IS TRYING TO MAKE THEM THE SAME CHARACTER

i love her 😭 

I also think this is good at showing Jay being inexperienced in fighting (he just got flash-i-fied like yesterday) because he jumped on kendra, which put him at a disadvantage superspeed wise since she could actually touch him.

image description under cut

[image: a series of comic panels from earth 2 #3 showing Kendra Muñoz Saunders as Hawkgirl and Jay Garrick as the flash. we start with just a close up on kendra’s face.

KENDRA: And no skills either, from the looks of how you kicked up all that dirt trying to stop.

JAY: Yeah, maybe my breaking needs work, but I can run so fast now that --

KENDRA: 'Kay, you can run... But can you fight? She shoots her crossbow at his leg and he starts jumping out of the way. He looks concerned.

JAY: Are you crazy?

KENDRA: No. But for the purposes of this... let's pretend i'm certifiable.

There's a panel showing Jay running while talking, with motion blur around him.

JAY: Yeah? You want some? Sure, I'm new, but with my speed I'm more than a match for some winged chick with bad manners.

JAYS INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: Easy. I run --- use my speed - to get behind her and --

jay runs up a tree and uses it to launch himself at kendra and land on her back.

kendra grabs him and throws him and uses her wings to flap the mud he kicked up earlier all over him, trapping him. She sighs with disappointment. Jay holds a hand up, trying to keep the mud out of his face.

JAY: Oh, come on!

kendra flies above him and holds her crossbow down at him.

KENDRA: that's your best shot, huh? Then you're lucky I wasn't giving you mine. Boy, you're going to take some work. end iamge]

image description under cut

[image: two comic panels from Earth 2 #3 showing Jay Garrick (the flash) meeting Kendra Muñoz-Saunders (hawkgirl). We are looking at Kendra from a low perspective and she is flapping down towards Jay. The sun is behind her and she is holding a crossbow in one hand.

JAY’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: -- I can't begin to imagine what tomorrow will bring.

KENDRA: ... will you wipe that dopey look off your face and say something?

JAY: What in the hell are you? Apart from being -- well -- amazing!

the camera flips so we see them both there, Jay standing and kendra hovering, and we only see their silhouettes and the sky as an orange-sh gradient.

JAY: Are you an angel?

KENDRA: Are you an idiot?

JAY: What? You have wings don't you?
