NotesEdit

  • Originally, the adventures of Janos Prohaska and the other Blackhawks was germaine to the continuity of Earth-X, which also included all of the characters formerly owned by Quality Comics. In Earth-X and Earth-One continuity, the Blackhawk leader used the anglicized name Bart Hawk. Following the collapse of the Multiverse in the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths, Janos and his colleagues migrated to the Post-Crisis environment and they are now canonically recognized in New Earth continuity.
  • Actor Kirk Alyn portrayed the role of Blackhawk in the 1952 Blackhawk serial. In the serial, Alyn's character was known only as Blackhawk. Alyn is more famously known as the first actor to portray the role of Superman in the original Republic serials.
  • "Janos Prohaska" is also the name of an actor and stunt performer on American television from the 1960s, including an appearance as Yarnek in the Star Trek episode "The Savage Curtain".

TriviaEdit

  • The name "Janos Prohaska" is not an entirely correct Polish name. There is no such Polish name as "Janos"; a more Polish name would be "Janusz". Also, the name "Prohaska" does not sound Polish; it looks more Czech or Slovenian.
