How Hawkman could soar beyond BlackAdam:
, subject to reboots, retcons, and alternate earths, alien planets, and continuity issues. The character created by Gardner Fox and Dennis Neville began simply enough as an archaeologist, Carter Hall, who was the reincarnation of Egyptian prince Khufu. But Hall was later rebooted by Fox and Joe Kubert as Katar Hol, an alien policeman from the planet Thanagar.
Another interesting element of Hawkman that could be explored through the casting of Aldis Hodge is what reincarnation looks like for a Black man. Puzzlingly, the Egyptian Khufu is consistently resurrected as a white man in the comics, so his time as the 5th-century knight, Brian Kent, the Old West gunslinger, Nighthawk, and oddly, Captain John Smith , have left the character unaffected by prejudices and social injustices of the time.
