Today I learned Hawkman was reimagined as Native American in the 90s
In 1993, Hawkman was granted his own ongoing title off the heels of the Hawkworld series, which redefined the characterÂ’s alien origins on the planet Thanagar and its complex, problematic culture he would reckon with. Launched through a miniseries by Tim Truman, Hawkworld was continued by legendary writer John Ostrander.
In his six issues of Hawkman, Ostrander introduces us to an Anigiduwagi medicine woman Naomi Carter, known to her people as “The Faraway Woman.” In his final issue, Hawkman #6, we discover why. During this period of Hawkman’s history, there were a few active Hawkmen. One was the Thanagarian Katar Hol, who recently arrived on Earth in Hawkworld. Another, Carter Hall, was the reincarnated Prince Khufu and charter member of the Justice Society of America, who with his wife Shiera worked in their civilian lives as archaeologists. As a young woman, Naomi acted as a translator and guide to Shiera and Carter, helping them avoid sacred burial grounds and assisting them in returning misplaced or stolen artifacts to their rightful people.
Through the Halls, Naomi met a man named Perry Carter—in truth, a Thanagarian visitor to Earth named Paran Katar. The two fell in love and eloped to Thanagar, in defiance of Naomi’s parents and in deception of Paran’s, who claimed that Naomi herself was descended from Thanagarian colonists on a distant world.
We got a big week of comics centering or involving POC's this week.
Amazons Attack #2
City Boy #6
Here's some more.
Cyborg #5
Steelworks #6
All right so the end of the year is fast approaching and I would say we've had a decent showing of POC characters both in comics and outside media. Almost every A-list hero has had a spin off POC have their own comic/mini. Any standout favorites amongst you all?
My highlights Spirit World. I'm a fan of fantasy and mythology and this hit a pretty good niche in the DC universe that can be expanded on given the chance. Xanthe is a outstanding characters with appeal that I would love to see in the future. Static was also a pretty good comic along with Green Lantern War journal.
As far as outside media, Blue Beetle has been one of the better DC movies to be released and it was a blast. Very fun even if it's another origin movie and the actor was phenomenal.
Here's hoping this character make more appearances in 2024 then just a diversity appreciation comic. Hopefully some more for Monkey Prrince.
