HISTORY

Hawkgirl is a reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian Chay-Ara and her true love Khufu (a.k.a. Hawkman). Hawkgirl and Hawkman's relationship was a reincarnation cycle that happened through out time (finding love and dying together)until Shayera Hall. Carter Hall cheated the cycle and ended up with her previous incarnation dead. So now Shayera Hall doesn't know about the reincarnations of her past lives and her love with Hawkman is over. But after being exposed to the anti-gravity Nth metal from Thanagar they were imprinted with memories of the distant planet's people.

POWERS

Hawkgirl is super strong, she has enough strength to lift a car and fly with it. Hawkgirl can perform a sonic scream that can damage and/or destroy living tissue and do some damage to non-living objects as well.

Hawkgirl cannot fly under her own power and needs a belt made out of the Nth metal. This allows her to fly without the wings. She has the inorganic wings so she can maneuver much better through the air.

Hawkgirl uses a mace that has an electric core. With her mace, Hawkgirl can bash up concrete and even leave dents in thick steel. The mace can be charged up with its core into a super powered strike. This electric power attack can shatter solid steel into pieces. Her mace also has some unique abilities to which it can't be effected by magic and can not affect anything magic.

DC Animated Universe

Hawkgirl gained a whole new popularity in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited Cartoon series. In the cartoons her real name is Shayera Hol. She was one of the original seven members of the league and Hawkman did not appear in the show until much later in the Justice League Unlimited series. Hawkgirl develops a romantic relationship with the Green Lantern John Stewart. This goes south when it is revealed that she is a spy for her people. She betrays the league until she finds out that she has been mislead by her people and that they plan to destroy Earth. When she discovers this information she helps the League but she had already burned bridges with half of the members. In the last episode of Justice League the team votes to keep her in. As it turns out Hawkgirl quits to avoid hearing what they decide.

Much later in the new series Justice League Unlimited she finds out that she was never voted out of the league, however it was a close vote. She returns to the league but never again wears her Hawkgirl costume. She even mends bridges with all the members of the League except John Stewart. They have a friendly relationship but it is tainted by the fact that John is dating Vixen another member of the league. John even goes on a mission and finds out that he and Hawkgirl had a son. He believes that this means he and Hawkgirl are meant to be together but he feels he is being unfair to Vixen who he also has feelings for. The series ends with him telling her this information but also tells her he is still staying with Vixen.
