Hawkgirl

Hawkgirl is the name of several fictional superheroines in the DC Comics universe. They are partners, and sometimes spouses or lovers, of the various incarnations of Hawkman. more...

Shiera Sanders

The Golden Age Hawkgirl was Shiera Sanders (or Saunders), the reincarnation of the Egyptian princess Chay-Ara, and partner of Carter Hall, the Golden Age Hawkman.

The Hawks were members of the All-Star Squadron, and while Hawkman was a member of the Justice Society of America, Hawkgirl was not a member, only assisting the group on occasion, although recent retcons seem to point to Hawkgirl being formally inducted into the JSA at some time. Eventually, Carter and Shiera married and had one son, Hector Hall, the most recent Doctor Fate.

Through retcon Carter and Shiera joined the Justice League of America in the early 1990s.

Shiera died when she was merged with Carter and Katar Hol to form a new Hawkman version, a "hawk god" creature, during the events of Zero Hour.

Kendra Saunders

The current Hawkgirl is Kendra Saunders, a young woman who committed suicide. When Kendra's soul left her body, that of her grandaunt, Shiera Hall, the Golden Age Hawkgirl, entered it. She currently has all of Kendra's memories, but almost none of Shiera's. She is a member of the Justice Society.

Kendra will be taking over Hawkman series with # 50, renaming the title Hawkgirl in the process.
