Ever
since the summer of 1934 there has been a nocturnal man of mystery
stalking the busy streets and quiet laneways of Port Cartier. A shadowy
avian figure garbed in black, brown, and gold, flitting between
rooftops. Striking a blow in the night for Justice. It wasn’t Long
before the press of the time caught wind of the name that was found
scrawled at the bottom of the notes left pinned to the thugs the Port Cartier police
began to find left for them in various parts of the city. That’s when
the name "Night Hawk" entered the consciousness of the city. The French
language press equally eager to embrace this mysterious, and romantic
figure, simply called him "le Faucon Noir". Since
that time there has almost always been a Night Hawk perched above the
city, ready to swoop out of the darkness and put right the wrongs
committed in the dark nights of Port Cartier.
The mantel of the Night
Hawk appears to have been passed down to perhaps 4 different Individuals since his
initial appearance in the 1930’s, and not every iteration of Port Cartier's night-time champion has been male. When it comes to Night Hawks it seems
that the female of the species is every bit as determined and effective
in their chosen duties as the male.
From
time to time the Night Hawk has been seen in the company of a fledgling
crime fighter, clad in bright scarlet. These “sidekicks” have taken on
the nom-de-geurre of “Cardinal”.
The
Inspirations I had for Night Hawk are basically very similar to the
ones that I had for Midnight (Bat-Man, The Shadow , The Phantom, and a
little bit of the Original Space Ghost and Blue Falcon) But I feel
that even though they come from similar Inspirations they will end up be
very different Characters.
