Blackie is a hawk with black plumage.

During World War II, a wild black hawk came to the aid of the Blackhawk Squadron who had fallen into a trap laid by Killer Shark. Blackie helped the Blackhawks escape, and became the squad's official team mascot. Blackie shared in many of the Blackhawk's adventures during and after the war.

  • This version of Blackie, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
  • Unlike their counterparts in the Quality Universe, both Blackie and Killer Shark met the Blackhawks during World War II.
  • Blackie's species of hawk is migratory, and periodically re-visits San Durango.
