Enter Absolute Hawkman: A Legacy Hero with a Dark Agenda
In the latest issue of Absolute Superman, Carter Hall, aka Absolute Hawkman, steps onto the scene. He presents himself as a seasoned veteran, having fought Nazis during World War II. On the surface, he seems like the perfect mentor for our younger Superman, offering wisdom and guidance in this darker DC Universe.
But here's where it gets controversial... Hawkman's intentions are far from pure. He serves a sinister group known as the House of Un-American Activities Committee and the "Justice League" of the Absolute Universe. This shadowy cabal includes some of the most corrupt and evil figures, including Veronica Cale, Joker, and Ra's al Ghul. And Hawkman has a history of killing idealistic heroes like Green Arrow on their orders.
The Battle for Superman's Soul: Redemption or Corruption?
Hawkman claims he wants to train Superman, to prevent him from making the same mistakes as past heroes. But his first piece of advice - to work with the Lazarus Corporation - is a deal-breaker for Superman. Their conversation quickly turns into a physical confrontation, only to be interrupted by the arrival of Absolute Parasite.
Superman's stance is clear: helping people in need is his priority. But will he be able to redeem Hawkman and turn him into a true hero? Or will Hawkman's dark influence corrupt the Man of Steel?
