Nighthawk was a masked vigilante gunman who fought crime in the American west during the 19th Century, alongside his partner Cinnamon and his sidekick Jim Peyton. They were reincarnations of the Egyptian prince Khufu and his wife Chay-Ara, destined to spend their lives together but ultimately doomed to die at the hands of a reincarnation of Hath-Set. He was a member of the Rough Bunch. His successor in the modern day is a mercenary named Hannibal Hawk. Nighthawk was created by Joe Millard and Charles Paris, first appearing in Western Comics #5. (1948)
