History:
Stanislaus: The first to join forces with Blackhawk, the Polish muscleman watched as his family and friends died, victims of the Nazi scourge. Stan is reputed to have been a circus strongman, as well, as a brilliant student in the University of Warsaw.

Chuck: Before joining Blackhawk, the Texas-born cowboy was a high-flying member of England's Royal Air Force. Chuck is an expert pilot and electronics genius, as well as a lover of a good, old-fashioned brawl. Though good-natured, Chuck can also be a deadly enemy.

Olaf: Born in Sweden, the lantern-jawed Olaf was one of that country's leading circus acrobats. Although Sweden was neutral during the war, Olaf could not just casually watch as Europe fell before the Nazi menace. Thus, he left behind Sweden's peace and became a Blackhawk.

Hendrickson: The eldest Blackhawk, the walrus-mustached Dutchman has seen the most combat of them all and is considered the wise old man of the group. Though married, his wife, Violet, died before World War II began. He is an expert with all weapons.

Andre: A true ladies' man and soldier of fortune, the dapper Frenchman was a leader in the famed French underground and is a linguist par excellence. Andre is known for his military planning and he works alongside Blackhawk, preparing their daring raids.

Chop-Chop: A master of the martial arts, Manchurian-born Wu Chang is a small package that packs a big wallop. Chop-Chop's family lost their home during the Japanese-Chinese armistice, and he traveled throughout Europe before finding a new home with the Blackhawks.
