  1. It should be mentioned that at this time the Hulk had childish mnemonics for his Defenders teammates because he couldn’t remember their names. Namor the Sub-Mariner was “Fish-man,” for example; Nighthawk was “Bird-nose.”

  2. I went to high school with Omar Al-Sharief, worked with Jim Carey, and was roommates with Steve Colbert (although he pronoun es the T)

  3. I bought this one off the rack back in the day.
    Even as a young kid I found the ‘who’s the monster here!! Who !!!’ message a bit ‘very special episode of MTIO’ clunky.
    But I did like the monster visual.

    Loved Siskoid’s idea of a B&B run at marvel with Nighthawk. I’d read that.
    My ideal team-up with Nighthawk would be Firehawk in some company crossover where the two flirt like mad.

  4. Let’s see since you guys like to but night hawk in
    The Batman rule and since Batman has team up with the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
    We can team up a nock off with a some nock offs
    Night hawk teams up with the biker mice from mars who get sent to marvel universe via .
    A worm hole . And have to team up with night hawk to from new villain created for the for story
    Day break a female member of the biker mice’s species who do experiment via the king has the powers and skills of night hawk . And a bike called day rider that has all kinds of gizmos and gadgets and she is only one who can create another worm hole to send biker mice home and what’s is her link to the leader .

  5. My personal history with Nighthawk is a little different, in that my introduction was the neighborhood kids in the 70s collecting 7-11 Slurpee cups, and he was considered the coolest by far! Because from that limited exposure, there was no connection to Batman. The closest we could come was an edgier version of Hawkman from Super Friends. With that head canon, I see that equated to “cool” because 10 year old boys have always preferred EXTREME, not just in the 90s.

    I’d go for Nighthawk teaming up with Darkhawk, Shadowhawk, and Bloodhawk to form a new team: Force Hawks! I don’t know who they’d fight, since they’re too preoccupied trying to be cool and EXTREME!
