Hawk

Hawk's History

Henry "Hank" Hall was born in 1989 in Washington, D.C. and raised, alongside his half brother, Don Hall, by a single mother. Despite living in a poor district, the Hall brothers were pushed academically to gain a scholarship that offered them the chance to attend a prestigious private school where, in 1999, Hank became a top star for the school football team, The Hawks.

Once during his school days, Hank experienced a traumatic incident after a game. He protected his half brother who was going to be sexually abused by his coach, Vincent. He sacrificed himself by taking Don's place and proceeded to be molested by his coach after having sent Don away. Sometime after that, his mother developed cancer and passed away since she couldn't afford the proper medical attention.

Sometime later, Hank and Don was engaged in a fight and eventually expelled from the university. Then, in order to release his anger, which football had been his outlet before he was expelled, he found a different method by doing vigilantism with his half brother. However, Don was killed not long after in an accident.

At the same accident, Dawn Granger's mother was also killed, which later made both Hank and Dawn to be closer because they often crossed paths at a support group and talked with each other about their lost after sessions. Eventually, they were engaged in a relationship and at some time, Dawn found out about Hank's secret identity. Sometime later, Dawn donned her own vigilante identity, Dove and joined Hank in vigilantism, and so Washington, D.C. has its secret protector in Hawk and Dove.
