Trivia

Alternate Versions

Kingdom Come

In the "Kingdom Come" reality of Earth-22, the character of Hawkman bears a strong resemblance to Northwind's current physical appearance. Hawkman of Earth-22 has never been identified by name, so it remains unknown whether the character is intended to reflect Northwind, or another character altogether.
