Big Red was the name of a large, brown hawk, that would occasionally assist Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Origin

Some criminals attempted to murder Hawkman by throwing him out of an airplane, when his falling form was spotted by a hawk, soon to be named "One-Eye", which saved Hawkman, and took him to a hidden valley populated by very intelligent birds. Hawkman learned their language while the amazing birds helped him repair his wings. He then returned to his pursuit of the criminals, backed by a large flock of hawks, but the crooks did some shooting and One-Eye was killed. Big Red was part of this flock and soon became a close ally of Hawkman.

  • This version of Big Red, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
