Archaeologist Carter Hall dreams that he is the ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu, who has a lover, named Shiera in the original story, or Princess Chay-Ara in modern retweet. The next day, Carter meets a woman named Shiera who looks exactly like the woman in her dream. Carter don identity Hawkman and Shiera became Carter's boyfriend. Shiera first appeared as Hawkgirl at All Star Comics # 5 (July 1941), in a costume made by Sheldon Moldoff, based on Hawkman Neville costume. During Hawkman's solo segment from the Justice Society of America story, Shiera don a set of Nth metal wing spears developed by Hawkman, and disguised as Hawkman to fool some criminals. Shiera continued to wear costumes and wings later on, eventually adopting Hawkgirl's identity.
Silver Age
With the fading superhero's popularity during the late 1940s, Hawkman's features ended in the latest edition of Flash Comics in 1949. In 1956, DC Comics evoked Flash by improving characters with new identities and backstory.. Following the success of the new Flash, DC Comics changed Hawkman in the same way as The Brave and the Bold 34 in 1961. The Silver Hawkman and Hawkgirl versions became the married alien police from the planet Thanagar who came to Earth to learn police techniques. Silver Age Hawkgirl is introduced as Shayera Hol (phonetically similar to Shiera Hall), which appears in costume as her first appearance. Although Silver Age Hawkman joined the Justice League in Justice League of America in 1964, Silver Age Hawkgirl was not offered a membership because the Justice League rules only allow one new member to be accepted at a time. A few years later, Silver Age Hawkgirl joined the Justice League of America with problem # 146 in 1977. In 1981, Silver Age Hawkgirl changed its name to Hawkwoman in Hawkman's reserve feature of World's Finest Comics # 274.
With the establishment of a DC multiverse system, the Golden Age Hawbirl is said to have lived on Earth-Two and the Silver Age Hawkgirl on Earth-One. Though Golden Age Hawkman made his first Silver Age appearance during the first JLA/JSA team in 1963 and continued to make appearances during the JLA/JSA annual team, Golden Age Hawkgirl did not reappear until 1976, in the revival of All Star Comics monthly comic. During the publication gap between Hawkman's cancellation at the end of the Golden Age and the Reintroduction of the Two-Hawkman Earth during the Silver Age, Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl married outside the panel. Golden Age Hawkgirl makes a further appearance as the mother of Silver Scarab at Infinity Inc.'s comics. and as Hawkgirl as a member of the All-Star Squadron, a retroactive Golden Age hero team active in the 1940s.
Post-Crisis and One Year Later
Following the DC miniseries event, Crisis on Infinite Earths , Earth-One, Two, Four, S, and X history are combined into one Earth with a past, present, and a consistent future. As a result, both the Golden Age and Silver Age versions of Hawkman and Hawkgirl live on the same Earth. Shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths DC, DC decided that having the same Earth Justice Society as all other superheroes is redundant and most teams, including Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl, were abundant in the Last Day from the Justice Community one way. The Justice Society is trapped in another dimension, Limbo, where they will fight forever to prevent RagnarÃÆ'¶k happening on Earth.
Initially, Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkwoman remain in continuity unchanged after Crisis on Infinite Earths . However, DC reversed this decision and restarted Hawkman's continuation following the success of the Hawkworld miniseries. Initially, Hawkworld was a miniseries created in the past that revised Hawkman and Hawkwoman's origins, but after the series became a success, DC Comics made the current series Hawkworld series , with the two heroes recently appearing on Earth after the events in the Invasion! miniseries, resulting in a complete reboot of Hawkman's continuation. Some continuity errors concerning Hawkman and Hawkgirl Justice League appearances will then need to be fixed, including their appearance in the Invasion! miniseries. All previous appearances by Silver Age Hawkgirl in the Justice League are described by Golden Age Hawkgirl who took the place of Silver Age Hawkgirl. However, Hawkwoman continues to appear in several pre- Hawkworld Justice League adventures during which time the Golden Age Hawkgirl is trapped in Limbo. To explain this continuity error, a new Hawkwoman, Sharon Parker, was created and retconned to the Justice League at the Golden Age Hawkgirl in Limbo.
After Hawkworld reboots, Hawkgirl (Hawkwoman) is now Shayera Thal and does not marry Katar Hol, not just his police mate. In post-Hawkworld continuity, Shayera adopted the name Hawkwoman from the beginning of his costumed career and never used the name Hawkgirl. The Golden Age Hawkgirl finally returned from Limbo, but during the miniseries Zero Hour joined Katar Hol and the Golden Age Hawkman into a new persona.
Hawkgirl was recently introduced as part of the 1999 revival of JSA's monthly titles. The new Hawkgirl is Kendra Saunders, granddaughter of the Golden Age Hawkgirl cousin, Speed ​​Saunders. Hawkgirl will continue to appear regularly in the monthly JSA and later in Hawkman every month. In 2006, the current Hawkman monthly series was titled Hawkgirl starting with edition # 50 as part of "One Year Later" to leap forward; Kendra replaces Hawkman as the main character. The comic book series Hawkgirl finished with edition # 66.
Kendra is a recurring member of Bird of Prey. Oracle first requested his help in # 104 in dealing with Secret Six, which Oracle rewarded him with cars. Throughout the Russian arc, Hawkgirl serves as a member of the team and develops competition with the Scandal of Secret Six members.
He was a member of the Justice League of America at the launch, but left the team because of the injuries he suffered in Final Crisis. The original Kendra and Hawkman (Carter Hall) were killed during the storyline Blackest Night ; Katar Hol had been killed earlier in the final battle with Hawkgod, and Carter Hall, who had been reincarnated in a new body, succeeded him as a partner of Hawkgirl. Carter and Shiera were resurrected after Blackest Night , but Kendra has been killed again.

After this, Hawkgirl, as Shiera Hall, made his first appearance at Dark Days: The Forge and Dark Days: The Casting , which served as the beginning for Dark Night: Metal .
Hawkgirl was featured in the first decade of the 20th century, where he was an archaeologist with her husband, Hawkman, at St. Roch. It reveals that Hawkgirl's first reincarnation was a generation earlier than Ancient Egypt, he was present during prehistory. Shiera acts as the leader of the Tribe of Birds, who fought against the darkness of the evil god Barbatos.

Strength and ability
Hawkgirl owes its strength to the metal belt of Nth, the native substance of Thanagar planet (once the home of a pair of Hawk heroes, Katar Hol and Hawkwoman). The metal is psycho-reactive, responds to the carrier's mind and in its basic form has a number of electromagnetic/gravity properties. For the Hawks, it provides fly strength, superpower, super-acute vision, and enhanced healing/regeneration abilities.
In addition, it features sophisticated hand-to-hand fighting skills. Like Hawkman, he retains the knowledge of some lives worth fighting for. His weapon of choice is a spear or a mace, but he is also depicted using swords, axes, warhammers, shields, and other melee weapons. He has shooting skills from his time as a shooter, Cinnamon.
In addition, the Nth metal knife that killed Hawkgirl in his original incarnation as Chay-Ara had an unusual effect on his soul and his lover Khufu (Hawkman). The couple is locked in a seemingly endless cycle of death and rebirth throughout the century. Though not a superhuman strength, this inclination for reincarnation has enabled Hawkgirl to deceive death and return to active duty in his current incarnation.
Like all modern Thanagarians, Shayera Hol has a pair of wings that grow from his back that allow him to fly. As a Thanagarian, he has tremendous physical strength, endurance and endurance. As a former member of the Thanagarian military, he has extensive training in tactics, military science, and personal combat skills. In addition, his focus in espionage can make him a difficult opponent to track, and give him an advantage when tracking down criminals.
Hawkgirl brings a mace made of metal Nth, which can generate electric current and dissipate magical energy, his mace is very effective against magic, as shown when Hawkgirl defeats Doctor Fate, a powerful magician of the DC Universe. Hawkgirl is skilled in holding and throwing the mace accurately. He creatively uses the mace as a shield to deflect incoming projectiles as well as emergency defibrillator units.
Hawkgirl is fluent in many languages ​​of the Earth, through the use of Absorbascon. Her unique Thanagarian physiology also enables her to communicate verbally with birds.
Nth Metals also regulates the wearer's temperature, preventing the need for heavy protective clothing while at altitudes. It also has heat-radiating properties, which can be controlled to warm the wearer in cold climates.
Recently, Kendra has found that it has improved healing ability, strength, vision, and limitations when not using metal. He speculates that this is because he is too long exposed to the substance. It remains to be seen whether he still has this ability now that he is Shiera Hall once again.

He fought with the Weather Wizard in Central City, and was then seen waiting outside the criminal's bar. Hawkgirl next appears to help Wonder Woman against the attacking Atlanteans and Aquaman. Hawkgirl fought against Atlantis forces when Wonder Woman ordered him to rescue the people who were thrown from the ship by Aquaman's attack. He saw Arthur's army suddenly retreat and saw a large tsunami rapidly approaching. He was the first to realize there was something behind the waves. Hawkgirl finds what he believes is a mountain that rises out of the water, but in fact the giant tentacles of the Aquaman Kraken summon his help. Hawkgirl is entangled by one of the Kraken tentacles and drags him underwater, slowly sinking while Wonder Woman struggles to save him. After Superman arrives and forces Aquaman to summon his monsters, Hawkgirl is commanded by Man of Steel to help the sailors while Superman and the League go to give their response to the Aquaman ultimatum. Hawkgirl removes a country leader from his limo during a parade before he loses him to the Atomic Captain. Surprised, Shiera let his guard down and was hit by an electric blast, causing him to fall into the street below. Collapsed, Hawkgirl spotted Black Lightning and Huntress before the latter dropped his faint with an arrow bolt. Hawkgirl was then seen held in a cell in the Batcave, glaring at Batman and Catwoman as they discussed the League's reaction to his abduction. When Catwoman suggests the League will look for him, Batman disagrees and cuts the scene to the Watchtower, where many heroes are in shock, the second Hawkgirl is seen arriving. The true Hawkgirl remains trapped inside the Batcave while the deceiver has been revealed as the Martian Manhunter, changing shape into its shape. Just a week later, Manhunter Martian was exposed thanks to Batman's son, Damian, and Bruce releasing Hawkgirl as promised. Shiera walks to the damaged Watchtower and confirms his identity by easily lightning matches.
Hawkgirl went to the Hall of Justice to question Lex Luthor about whether Sinestro really willingly surrendered his ring and strength before allowing himself to be imprisoned. Luthor confirms his question before saying he still believes Sinestro has something else to play before Sinestro replies that Green Lanterns will soon arrive to capture Superman and that the League will need his help to stop them. Hawkgirl looks next to wait for Superman and Shazam in Utah in the Great Salt desert, a mace ready when he answers Shazam's questions about what the Man of Steel says they face by replying, "He thinks we're dealing with Green Lanterns." When Superman asked how he knew, he told him that he was talking to their 'guest' in the Hall of Justice. When he saw Superman staring up at the sky, he asked how many Lanterns were on the road, with Superman replying, "Too much." After Green Lanterns arrived in front of them and Superman and Kilowog had a short conversation, Shiera wanted to know where Hal Jordan was, and when Kilowog did not respond, Superman had fired a Cyborg ray on Green Lanterns from the Watchtower. The Green Lanterns survived and involved the three, with Hawkgirl against the Green Lanterns Isamot Kol and RRU-9-2, when he saw Superman suddenly descend, calling his name. Shortly after, Hawkgirl was defeated, his Mace Metal was taken by Green Lantern Tomar-Re, and his subconscious was trapped in a bubble building alongside Shazam. Before one of them can be taken to Oa, Sinestro arrives, kills Ch'p. Shiera was released and restored his wand before involving Tomar-Re and Procanon Kaa in battle until the arrival of Sinestro Corps. Hawkgirl flies over the captured Green Lantern, silently observing as they unfasten their rings in submission and he watches the Sinestro Corps leave Earth with Sinestro's orders. For the past seven months, Hawkgirl worked alongside fellow Superman and Shazam League members and Lanterns Hal, John and Sinestro in bringing down more 'naughty nations' to continue building peace around the world.

He is voiced by Shannon Farnon and Janet Waldo.
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
Hawkgirl appears in the animated series Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, voiced by Maria Canals-Barrera. He is based on Shayera Hol, Silver Age version of the character. His personality was completely redesigned for the series by the producers, who wanted a second female superhero for the team to contrast with Wonder Woman. While the Black Canary is traditionally more associated with the Justice League, the producers would rather have the Hawk family represented. In the continuity of animation, Hawkgirl's wings are organic and he uses the Nth thieving metal that interferes with magical powers and other forms of energy; he is also described as having superhuman strength, endurance, endurance and is an expert hand-to-hand battle, "In Blackest Night Part.II" when he defeated four Green Lantern Corps members alone. It can be assumed that he also has the ability to hover, because sometimes he looks suspended in the air without using his visible wings. In the episode "Just Dream Pt. 1" he is seen floating with Copperhead clinging to his back.
In "The Secret of Origin", Mars Manhunter gathers the future League to fight against an alien invasion on Earth. After the invasion's defeat, the seventh remain the team and formally form the League of Justice, dedicated to the defense of the Earth against attacks both inside and outside. To the rest of the League, Shayera is a mysterious woman with angel wings from another world. He explains that he found himself on Earth when, while chasing some criminals who trafficked illicit technology, he was accidentally transported by rays from a dimensional transporter known to his people as Zeta Beam, traditionally associated with DC science fiction hero Adam Strange.
Throughout the series, he slowly builds a relationship with Green Lantern (John Stewart). In a two-part episode of "Wild Cards", John was nearly killed by a bomb that the Joker had set out while protecting Shayera. He almost managed to bring him back to life by shocking him with his wand, then left the city to take care of him. Later, in the Watchtower, John and Shayera show their true feelings for each other, and Shayera allows John to remove his mask, giving first view to the viewers on Hawkgirl's face under the mask, and the two share a kiss.
In the second season finale of "Starcrossed", Shayera reveals himself as a military officer of the planet's armed forces, working as a talent scout on earth. When his people suddenly came into effect on Earth, he worked to help the Thanagari people gain the support of the Earth's leaders to protect him from the mortal enemies of the Thanagarias, the Gordani. He also reunited with the commander and his fiancé Hro Talak (anagram for the Silver Age of Hawkman Katar Hol), with his two spy missions now revealed and this unspecified romance created considerable friction between him and John. The information he gave to the Thanagarians allowed them to take League prisoners, although Shayera said they should not be killed. They then run away.
Unbeknownst to Shayera, Thanagarian's real intent is to turn the Earth into the final link in a hyperspace shortcut, which will destroy the Earth but allow Thanagari people to strike a deadly blow in Gordanian's home world. When Shayera learned of this plan, he betrayed his people and told the League of Justice about the Thanagarian plot, proving this by restoring John's ring that had been taken by the Thanagari people. Thanagarian forces were eventually defeated by the League and forced to leave Earth, with Shayera abandoned as a traitor. (For this reason, Shayera is then ambushed by a group of insurgent Thanagarian resistance fighters seeking revenge on "Hunter's Moon".) Six other members of the League take a vote on whether to allow Shayera to remain on the team but before they can tell him the result , he resigned from the League and departed (in "Wake the Dead", he revealed that the decision, when split up, supports letting him stay, with John abstaining and Superman breaking the tie). He eventually comes to live with Doctor Takdir and his wife Inza in the fortress of the Fate tower in an attempt to decide what to do with his life.
In the episode "Wake the Dead", Solomon Grundy's body was re-organized, and he made a mess. Shayera took responsibility for killing Grundy, whom he once considered a friend. After this, he returns to the League, but some time before he is well received among his members, especially Wonder Woman and Batman (who are both likely to have previously opted against him remaining on the team). After being allowed to rejoin the Justice League, Shayera reclaimed his position among the seven founding members and chose to wear simple civilian clothes compared to the more militaristic previous costumes.
After returning to the League of Justice, Shayera finds conflict with Wonder Woman, Amazon warriors reluctantly allow Shayera to join the team again, but holds a grudge against him. He will retain that feeling until the episode "The Balance", when he is forced to bring Shayera to Themyscira and Tartarus because of Felix Faust's return and seize the throne of Hades, Shayera is very important for this mission because his N-Mace Metal is the only weapon who was able to stop Faust. During this mission, Shayera and Wonder Woman resolve their differences once and for all. Shayera is still in conflict with Vixen. Once, they, during the episode "Hunter's Moon", along with Vigilante, were assigned to rescue missions in the distant months where foreign miners were having problems due to the high levels of Nth's unstable metal. However, it turns out it was a trap made by Paran Dul, who led a group of Thanagarian soldiers including a mentally handicapped Kriwa. During their confrontation on the moon, Paran reveals that Shayera's betrayal has led to Thanagar's defeat by Gordanians and that Hro T
