alchemical serum he drank, Nighthawk posessed superhuman strength
whenever the Earth blocked from his body the direct rays of the
sun. At night he could lift about one ton. In daylight, Nighthawk
posseses the normal human strength of a man of his age, height
and build who engaged in intensive regular exercises.
Known superhuman powers: In addition to his
superhuman strength, the alchemical serum that Nighthawk drank
increased his endurance to at least five times that of an Olympic
whenever Nighthawk was away from direct sunlight. His practical
reaction time when he was away from direct sunlight was
approximately double that of an average human being.
Abilities: Nighthawk is a moderately skilled
hand-to-hand cambatant.
Paraphernalia: Nighthawk employs a jet powered
artificial wing system similar to (but not as miniaturized as)
that used by the Falcon. The maximum practical speed at which the
jet engines could propel him and still allow him to breath was
about 120 MPH. The wing jets enable him to carry enough fuel for
16 hours of continuous use. He could reach a maximum altitude ot
30,000 feet althought he had difficulty breathing at heights over
24,000 feet.
