Encyclopedia
Hank Hall is a fictional character
in the DC Comics
universe who first appeared in Showcase #75 as Hawk of Hawk and Dove
. He later became the supervillain
Monarch
in the crossover event limited series
Armageddon 2001
. He later became known as Extant, and appeared in the Zero Hour
limited series (as well as some related tie-ins).
Hawk, of Hawk and Dove
. Hawk represented "chaos", while Dove represented "order". His brother, Don Hall, the original Dove, died during Crisis on Infinite Earths
. Don was replaced with Dawn Granger, who mysteriously acquired her powers in London
.
, an expert on temporal
studies, who was convinced he could use his technology to travel back in time and prevent the maniacal ruler from ever coming to power. He learned that forty years ago, one of Earth's heroes would eventually turn evil and become Monarch, and ten years from that would conquer the world. During a time travel experiment, Matthew was transformed into a being called "Waverider", and began searching the timestream for the hero who would become Monarch, not knowing that Monarch was following him. When Monarch came into battle with the heroes of the present day, he killed Dove, and her enraged partner killed him for it. Removing the villain's mask, Hank discovered that he was Monarch, and donned the armor.
in the past (sometime between 230 and 65 million years ago), they attempt to enlist both (without either's knowledge) to assist them in creating a wormhole. The wormhole's creation would destroy the universe in which the primitive Earth existed, but would allow the aliens to travel freely.
Hal Jordan
, now known as Parallax
, in a plan to alter time as they saw fit (as seen in Zero Hour).
His first act was to alter the future so that he could have a metahuman
army at his disposal, mostly consisting of members of the Teen Titans; his plan was to amass an army so powerful that no one could interfere with his efforts to control time itself. Several heroes banded together to stop his plans before they began in the 30th century, and altered history so that his followers never came to exist in the future.
Down, but not out, Extant began to strike back at the heroes at Ground Zero, the beginning of time. Parallax had warped several metahumans from various time periods together for the ultimate assault, and Extant hit the Atom with a chronal blast, de-aging him into a teenager. Sensing defeat was imminent, he escaped the fight, promising vengeance at a later date.
Extant would first reappear in the 1999 one-shot, "Impulse: Bart Saves the Universe." In it, Extant picks a fight with the original Justice Society as a means of tricking the Linear Men
into saving the life of an innocent bystander who was destined to die. The man they saved would now go on to develop a nuclear weapon that, when tested, would shift the Earth out of its proper orbit, causing massive changes in the timelines of some of Earth's greatest heroes. Among these changes, Hal Jordan never becomes Green Lantern, thus he never becomes Parallax, and never stops Extant from destroying all of time. Fortunately for the citizens of time, Impulse
arrives and is able to defeat Extant and prevent the Linear Men from saving the doomed scientist.
He would engage the Justice Society again on a later date as he sought to acquire the reality-warping power of the Worlogog, recently dismantled by Hourman
because he feared its power. Although Extant succeeded in his goal with the aid of Metron
's stolen Mobius Chair, Doctor Fate
learned from the imprisoned Mordru
that when Hourman had dismantled the Worlogog, he had retained a small fragment of it, thus creating infinitesimal flaw in the prime Worlogog that the JSA could exploit.
After the resurrected Dove sacrificed herself to distract Extant, Hourman divided his Hour of Power amongst his teammates, thus granting them all immunity to his reality warping powers for four minutes, each of them attacking him on a different temporal plane until they were able to separate him from the Worlogog. Following this setback, Extant again attempted to escape. Instead, Extant was teleported by Hourman and Metron, at Atom Smasher's behest, into the seat of an airplane whose crash Kobra
had caused earlier (in his relative timestream). As a result of this, Atom Smasher's mother was saved (as she was on the plane when it crashed), but Atom Smasher replaced his mother with a weakened Extant, saving her life but murdering the supervillain.
Extant made an appearance in Booster Gold
(vol. 2) #0 (2008), in a time travel adventure where Booster Gold crosses paths with Extant in the timestream during the events of Zero Hour.
. The black power rings also try to reanimate his brother Don, but are denied, stating "Don Hall of Earth at Peace." Hank then tracks down and attacks Dawn and the new Hawk, her sister Holly. After a short battle, Hank rams his hand into Holly's chest, ripping her heart out, and using it to charge his ring. Holly's body is then revived by a black ring, and the two attack Dawn together. Outmatched, Dawn retreats, with Hank and Holly giving chase. Hank and Holly follow Dawn to Titans Tower
, where more Black Lantern Titans are attacking the living heroes. The two eventually overwhelm Dawn, with Holly plunging her hand
into Dawn's chest. Dawn suddenly radiates a white energy that completely destroys Holly's body and ring. The other Black Lanterns, seeing Dawn as their greatest threat, attack her. However, she turns the light on them, destroying all but Hank, Tempest
, and
Terra
, who quickly retreat. While battling the Black Lanterns at Coast City
, Hank is later brought back to life by the power of the white light. Dawn has a vision of Don Hall, who tells Dawn that she can save Hank, and to not give up on him.
event, Hank and Dawn begin working together again as a crime-fighting duo. Dawn expresses worries over Hank's increasingly violent demeanor, but he simply brushes off her concerns. While stopping a group of teenaged criminals in Gotham City
, Hank and Dawn are invited by Zinda Blake to join the Birds of Prey. The two are immediately called by Oracle
to help Black Canary
and Huntress
during their battle with a dangerous villainess known as the White Canary. Hawk attempts to defeat her himself, but is surprised when White Canary is somehow able to dodge his attack and then draw blood from him. Hank and Dawn later encounter Deadman
, who Hank asks to resurrect Don. At a crater in Silver City, New Mexico
, Deadman attempts to revive Don, only to be prevented from doing so by the Entity
. As a number of onlookers (including Jackson Hyde) watch the Entity speak to the heroes, it instructs Hank to catch the boomerang that Captain Boomerang
will throw at Dove.
After being injured during an encounter with the Penguin
, Hank is sent to a hospital while his teammates plan their next move. During his hospital stay, Hank has a vision of himself, clad in a White Lantern uniform and talking to Don. Just before the dream ends, Don assures his brother that he is at peace. Later, Dawn is transported to the Star City forest by the Entity, Hawk unintentionally went with her, but when the "dark avatar" made his presence known, the Entity tells them that they must protect the forest and withstand the ultimate saviour, which is Alec Holland
.
It was revealed that Captain Boomerang's mission for throwing the boomerang was to free Hawk as an avatar of war from the Lords of Chaos because his act of saving Dove would have broken their hold on him to be his own self. However, he failed to catch the boomerang and instead it was caught by Boston Brand, who ended up dying in the process and used his final act to move his white power ring to Alec Holland and bring back Swamp Thing and cleanse the Green from Nekron's influence.
. Without his partner Dove to suppress his violent nature, his rage is boundless. His armor, crafted using advanced technology, is highly durable. After absorbing the powers of Waverider, he became Extant, giving him the ability to travel through time and control time. After piecing together the Worlogog, Extant was elevated to a nigh-omnipotent, god-like status, only lacking a slight fraction of the power necessary to be truly omnipotent.
As a member of the Black Lantern Corps, Hank wielded a black power ring, which allowed him to fly and generate black energy constructs. He was also able to perceive emotional auras. However, whilst he was able to perceive Holly's aura as red for rage, he saw Dawn's as a pure white that his ring could not identify.
