Stormhawk A member of Honor Guard during the 1980s. Powers His two large wings provide Stormhawk with the power of flight. He also possesses some form of electrically based power that mimics or sources directly from lightning storms. Observations According to backstory material presented in the Dark Age Story Arc, he is a relative of E.A.G.L.E. boss, Flannery Hawk. When in human form, his wings become designs running down his costume's sleeves, suggesting that the costume is part of the transformation process to a super-human. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and parlayed a talent for genetic research into a notable amount of money - enough for a custom-built house on the outskirts of Astro City. Speculations, Theories When he died, a bird skeleton was floating next to a human skeleton. This suggests that Christopher's transformation to Stormhawk was based on merging with a bird, possibly the hawk he had named Lightning.
