So I recently got a request for Hawks and realized I havenât seen a lot of information on him so I did some light research to pull together a personality after reading ch. 184 and 185 (6/02)
1. Hawks, The Precocious Man
Currently 2nd in the Billboard Chart
Started his own hero office at age 18
Was in the top 10 less then a year after
This is just some general information but its clear weâre dealing with a genius over here! He is the youngest and quickest of the top heroes and as I will discuss later is not intimidated by that fact.
Due to the nickname he was given, I think its safe to assume he was a protege in high school and was probably very serious about becoming a hero.
2. Hawks likes to manipulate situations and dosnt hold back from using unorthodox methods to do so. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing but I guess weâll seeâŚÂ Here are two examplesâŚ
Hawks is seen taking a jab at Endeavor when he asks him how it felt to be in first place. Its obvious he knew what he said bothered Endeavor from the way he made the motion of zipping his lips but what stood out to me was the way his expression showed that he didnât care. This sets the tone for the next few pagesâŚ
Right before this, Hawks went on a rant about ânot clinging to the past and speaking like real heroesâ and it seemed to me he was just another arrogant hero calling everyone out for the sol purpose of making himself look cool but as it turns out, he was setting the stage. Setting the stage for the turning point everyone was talking about and setting the stage for Endeavor to look like a real leader.
Call it what you want. Arrogant, blunt, rude. Hawks has already proven that he has no problem speaking whats on his mid, and in front of thousands of people no less! I suppose you donât make it as far as he has at his age by worrying what people think of you and holding back. But what I really appreciate about his character is that he called people out without putting them down!
In his rant, Hawks didnât lift himself up saying HE was a model hero or that THEY were wrong. He simply made them question if this was the time to be using the same old methods and words they always have and then he said âPlease, speak more like real heroes.â Did he step on some toes? Yes, but he was just voicing what he thought needed to be said with out directly offending his colleges. I respect that.
4. Calculative or impatient? Or both?
For now, its too soon to tell a lot about Hawks personality.
What I noticed in the latest chapter was that Hawks considered what the others were saying before he interrupted and spoke out. He waited though all 8 of the other heroes speeches, before finally taking his turn. However this could also show his impatience as he was making faces at what they were saying the whole time. Or it might just be his age? And the fact that he doesnât hold back things well. Then againâŚ
5. Maybe heâs expressive and showy? I mean he really didnât have to take flight during his speech right?? ・(*^â˝^*)ă
*Nhggkjhihfjjg look at those wings !!!*
6. He isnât too prideful to ask for help
