Shadowhawk
Encyclopedia
ShadowHawk is a fictional comic book
vigilante
anti-hero
created by Jim Valentino
.
He was first introduced in the Malibu Sun free promotional magazine in May of 1992
. His official Image Comics
debut was in the second issue of Rob Liefeld
's Youngblood
series.
Originally, the name Shadowhawk was to be used for the Marvel character Starhawk
while he had darkness powers, but Tom DeFalco
convinced Valentino to use the name for a new character instead.
. He avoided a life of crime due in part to the encouragement of a man named Richard Woodroe, who was originally assigned as a caseworker to Paul when he was caught stealing, and eventually married his mother, becoming his stepfather.
Eventually Paul became a lawyer and, beyond that, a district attorney. While his life was going so well, his half brother Hojo had taken his success in college, moved to Wall Street and developed a coke and crack addiction. Using Hojo, some gangsters tried to leverage Paul into letting their men off, but Paul refused. Soon after he ended up the target of an assault intended to serve as an example to others who got in the way of these mobsters. This incident culminated in his attackers injecting him with HIV
-infected blood.
After the encounter, Johnstone was left uncertain regarding whether he had been infected or not. The attack had been made public and word of his possible infection spread through Johnstone's workplace, making it a very inhospitable environment to be in. Tensions between Johnstone and one of his co-workers led to an altercation between the two which landed Johnstone out of a job and in jail.
After he was released, Paul received medical confirmation that he was HIV positive and he descended into depression. While walking the streets to clear his head, Paul was threatened by a group of young gang members. He went berserk and attacked them, leading to his brutal mugging and return to the hospital. During this time he resolved that he would use the rest of his time to dispense justice to the individuals who preyed on innocent victims. One of his friends, a cop named Christina Reid (who had been kicked off the force that day for use of excessive force), was also in the hospital and came to visit him. She informed Paul that she and a man named Carlton Sun had been developing an exo-skeleton suit of armor that could help aid him in accomplishing this task.
Johnstone decided to don the suit, christening himself "ShadowHawk" after his favorite superhero (a name that would eventually lure out the psychotic and racist villain Hawk's Shadow, who believed he was the one entitled to bear the mantle of ShadowHawk), and was taught how to fight effectively with the help of Christine, promising to "take back the night." Johnstone also kept the pills needed to slow his reaction to his HIV infection in small pouches on his belt so he could take them as needed.
Early on, ShadowHawk's actions against criminals were brutal. He would catch violent criminals in the act and break their spines, leaving them to be discovered by police with no indication that he had attacked them other than hearsay from the criminals. This led to ShadowHawk garnering a reputation as an urban legend
as well as being hunted by both criminals and law enforcement alike.
Later in his career (and as his lifespan shortened due to the progression of HIV to AIDS), Johnstone eventually grew to be less violent. He would also spend a majority of his remaining time searching either for a cure to his infection or another way to extend his life. This led to encounters with the likes of Supreme
(in which a battle would ensue, leading to the discovery of ShadowHawk's true identity to the world), the WildC.A.T.s. (who offered a possible solution involving a robotic body to transplant Johnstone's consciousness into - which would ultimately fail to work) and Youngblood
's Chapel (another hero also infected with HIV). One of his few regrets was that he never got to join a super-group, as in his search for a cure, he had realized how useful and fun fighting in a group was.
In his final act as ShadowHawk, Johnstone would rescue his mother from being attacked by Hawk's Shadow. The aftermath of the fight would leave Johnstone in a weakened state and unable to elude the pursuit of the police. He was remanded into custody and transported to a hospital where AIDS eventually took its toll and ended his life.
. The saga of the robot ShadowHawk was told in a crossover story called "ShadowHunt," which ran through five Image titles in April 1996. At the end of New Man #4,the robot was destroyed.
At first Eddie's father orders him to stop, thinking it would kill him. But Eddie is faster, stronger and more agile now and finds new responsibility to the people of New York City
. After saving some hostages, Eddie meets Captain Nieves and starts working with him.
Hero
" wakes up from a 30-year coma and learns his wife Dayglo has been killed 10 years ago by a villain called Firepower. He is falsely told by a mysterious man that Shadowhawk is the son of Firepower. Blacklight later attacks Shadowhawk and is accidentally killed by him. After killing Blacklight, ShadowHawk faces a mercenary named ZAP. After ZAP is defeated, police proposes Eddie Collins to go through the Police Academy to learn the difference between superhero
and vigilante
. Eddie is attacked by the man who hired ZAP and lied to Blacklight, named Nocturn.
Out on patrol, Nocturn, who knows Eddie Collins is ShadowHawk, attacks him and, after a brutal fight, Hawk's Shadow comes out of the shadows to face his "returned" arch-enemy. After being beaten nearly to death, Shadowhawk faces Hawk's Shadow, who wants the helmet that gives Shadowhawk his powers. In the end Paul Johnstone usurps Eddie's body and beats Hawk's Shadow to near death, but Eddie stops him before the kill.
Soon, Eddie meets the new Blacklight, who is investigating the origin of her new-found powers. The two team-up
to bring a vicious monster down. Their target turns out to be the first Blacklight.
Eddie's mentally unstable classmate, Philip Marko discovers he has the power of Pyrokinesis
. After killing ten people at the high school and his mother, ShadowHawk stops him.
A man-beast named Komodo kills Eddie's best friend, Steven "Skeeve" Evans and defeats Shadowhawk. The helmet, the source of ShadowHawk's power, is taken by Hawk's Shadow, who steps in and kills Komodo. He is soon confronted by his father, the Silver Age ShadowHawk. With the help of the new Blacklight, and Astroman, Eddie goes after Hatfield and wins, taking back the helmet.
After hearing the stories of past Shadowhawks,, Eddie Collins makes the decision that now he is going to be ShadowHawk on his terms, and receives a new costume.
Steven Evans' younger brother blames Shadowhawk for his brothers death and seeks revenge, while Hawk's Shadow's brain is placed in Komodo's body.
