Like a Hawk!

Saturday was a red-letter day for us when we were kids. It was the day when RPN-9 would play cartoons and kiddie shows non-stop, from 8:00am to noontime.

This was Saturday Fun Machine.

One of our favorite shows back then was "Superfriends." It was the 30-minute show that featured Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and some lesser known heroes like Apache Chief. They went up against the Legion of Doom which had villains that were pitted directly against a hero.

Superman vs. Bizarro. Green Lantern vs. Sinestro. Apache Chief vs. Giganta. That kind of shizz.

And while my brothers and cousins wanted to be Superman and Batman, I was the only one who wanted to be Hawkman.

I thought Hawkman was super cool. Aside from the fact that he had real wings, I found his stern demeanor and dry humor very interesting.

While he's still very much around in the DC Universe, I think they should build him up some more. This guy deserves to soar even higher.
