History:
A Polish-American, the man who would come to be called Blackhawk watched in frustration as his ancestral homeland was overrun by the Nazi scourge. Since America had not yet entered World War II, the young pilot joined the Polish resistance, flying a plane he’d painted jet black and scorng countless successes in night runs against the enemy.

Completing one such run, he was pursued to his family’s farm by the Nazi Colonel Von Tepp, and watched in helpless rage as Von Tepp bombed the farmhouse, slaying the young pilot’s brother and sister.

Vowing vengeance, the young pilot created the identity of Blackhawk, and launched a one-man terror campaign against history’s greatest oppressors. Other pilots, inspired by his example, soon joined him in his mission, forming a volunteer paramilitary unit second to none in the history of combat. Answerable solely to Great Britain’s Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, the Blackhawks became a force to be reckoned with.

Whether the Blackhawks survived the Second World War, and thus their current whereabouts, has long been a subject of great speculation and debate.

Powers:
An excellent pilot and crack shot, Blackhawk’s most impressive ability is his natural leadership.

Like his comrades-in-arms, Blackhawk is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a near Olympic-level athlete.
