What's Hawkman's Personality?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]80528[/ATTACH]
From what I've seen, many seem to have the idea that Hawkman is a brutish, barbarian-type character, which probably stems from Geoff Johns' revival of the character in the 2000's; which drew inspiration from a warrior-poet characterisation. He was a man who struggled to control his savage temper.
Reading the Golden Age stories, Hawkman seems to be a globetrotting adventurer, with a love/marvel for many different cultures and subjects. Not only was he a weapons collector, but he was also a research scientist. Scott Snyder's revival of the character seems to draw heavily from this, as we saw in Metal.
Venditti's Hawkman seems to draw upon both of these characterizations, and creates a midpoint. Carter Hall is a man who spans the globe, immersing himself in many different cultures. He is more reserved, but still has a temper, and is always ready to finish the fight; rather than start it.
How do you see Hawkman's personality.
