hiddenriverninja posted:For some reason I was a real fanboy of Darkhawk as a kid. A sad, sad kid. God, why do I think Darkhawk was so cool? Most of his actual comics run was getting his rear end kicked, the very first comic of his I read was the one where Venom played dead because he felt SORRY for Darkhawk (who was dying at the time, because loving TOMBSTONE yanked out his plot crystal)  Dramatic battles included Darkhawk taking off his helmet to gross people out with how hideous his off panel bioandroid head was, and also failing when another Darkhawk body guy did the same to him  But damnit, I still like him. Even though I think he's dead because of Battle Royal ripoff or whatever I didn't really keep track of his appearances after his old series ended with him getting his life back together and not being ALL ANGRY ALL THE TIME. Hmm, maybe him and Raiden should compare notes.

I remember liking it quite a bit. He's not a terrible character. Then again, my favorite character is Dr. Strange, so what do I know?

Darkhawk is one of the those characters that could be really good because there's a neat mythology to play with but nobody ever does anything with him and it's sad.

Is Doctor Nemesis supposed to parody Warren Ellis dialogue? That's the impression I've got.

From Shazam! to Darkhawk.. well, okay, maybe not Prime. I did like how he was kind of struggling with it, in The Runaways and part of a support group.

I've always liked Darkhawk, too. I remember he had a nemesis/ally named Portal. Portal was a mutant that could teleport, and he wore armor that was really similar to Darkhawk, except it was green.

My second comic with Darkhawk I ever read was one of the few I've bought back then, at the local drug store. (it was to be continued in the new warriors ) Hanging out with the new warriors, OH NO DARKHAWK CAN'T EAT PIZZA! Dare he change to his secret identity to eat pizza!? John Yossarian posted:I've always liked Darkhawk, too. I remember he had a nemesis/ally named Portal. Portal was a mutant that could teleport, and he wore armor that was really similar to Darkhawk, except it was green. Which is pretty badass considering that's like skinning a terminator.
