Bart Hawk was the Blackhawk, an ace pilot fighting in World War II with his allies in the paramilitary unit Blackhawk Squadron.

Origin

The Polish-American pilot Hawk joined the resistance in his native country in the early stages of the War. In his plane, which he had painted black, he was a scourge to the Luftwaffe. Von Tepp targeted him by destroying his family farmhouse and killing his family. With his country overrun, he formed a new identity, Blackhawk, and gathered pilots from various countries to form the Blackhawk Squadron, a paramilitry unit that answered directly to Winston Churchill.[1]


Abilities

  • Aviation: Blackhawk could fly any aircraft ever built.
  • Aerial Combat: Blackhawk was absolutely the greatest combat pilot of all time, bar none.
  • Chemistry/Size Alteration: Blackhawk once deduced the formula for, and recreated, a chemical compound invented by the renegade scientist Zaroc. This formula, after he ingested it, when combined with a massive jolt of electricity, caused him, and his clothing, to grow to a height of about twenty feet, and charged him with thermal energy.[2]
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic) Blackhawk and his team were famous for wading into well-armed masses of enemies, and laying them out with their bare fists.
  • Mysticism[3]
  • Robotic Engineering: Blackhawk once built a robot duplicate of himself,[4] and participated in the building of Zollo, the team's runaway espionage robot.[5]
  • SCUBA Diving: Blackhawk could do underwater welding or other rescue and demolition work.[6]
