Hawks is a chicken. Let’s proove it mathematically!
So, the weight of an male hawk is around 2,2 kg with a wing span of 89 cm. (Male hawk are smaller than females.)
So let’s assume Keigo’s bodyweight is around 66 kg, which is the male average in japan.
Now that’s 30 times more than a hawk, so: 89 cm*30 = 26 meters. Keigo’s wing span had to be 26 meters (over 85 feet)! [13 meters (42,6 feet) per wing! That’s fucking huge, guys. He wouldn’t even have the strength to move them.]
So let’s say his bones are hollow, like these of a hawk. (Means we can remove around 15 percent of his bodyweight, which is 11 kg; so 66 – 11 = 55 kg.) So now Keigo weights 55 kg, which is 23 times more-> 89cm*23 = 20 meters.
That means 10 meters (32 feet) per wing, which is still incorrect.
So he has to be lighter. But… how?
We’ve to think about his body. He isn’t weak and has lean muscles – but muscles are heavy. So in order to make him faster and lighter, let’s compensate his muscle mass and assume his inner body is build more bird-like.
Let’s go in risky and give him, like a hawk:
-> Extremely fast digestion and metabolism with light inner organs.
This reduces his weight immensely. But it increases his hunger and body heat. It fastens his heartbeat and weakens is immune system. No accumulated fat also makes him endangered for Osteoporosis & Overfeeding syndrome etc. He would feel immense consequences if he only skipped a few meals.
(A/N: Even though it sounds bloody cool, I’m personally not a big fan of the ‘Hawks eats raw meat’-headcanon. It’s cool, sure, but raw meat is fucking inefficient in supplying your brain with nutrients. You’d have to eat a time-wasting amount to get nearly the same energy. And I seriously doubt Hawks can afford this risk. It’s actually a question of life and death for him. (‘Keigo mainly eating raw meat’ pulls me out of a otherwise good story. But you do you, if you enjoy it, go with it dude.)
-> A really thin skullcap
When you’re a bird and you fly against a window, you’d probably die. When you’re a human and you run against the same window with the same impact force, you’d probably survive. But when you’re a bird with a heavy human-build skull, it’d be way harder for you to fly. If we make your skull thinner well… that’s dangerous, but efficient.
(A/N: Oh shit, I remember Dabi keeping Hawks’ head under his shoe. Jesus fucking christ- Imagine he knew that Hawks’ skull was a fucking weak spot? Maybe not, but I’ll worship this headcanon till I die)
So after looking at him like a Hawk, we can assume a weight of ~30 kg, (which is really fucking light for a grown up male.)
Since he’s still a human, we can now just look at the wingspan of a heavy airborne bird, and we’ve his wingspan.
For example the Albatross weights 13 kg with 3 meters of wingspan.
Keigo’s only two times that weight! So 3 m*2 = 6 meters!
Which means one of Hawks wings in full feathers measures around 3 meters! (~9 Feet per wing)
————————————————————–
So here is my personal little list of headcanons for Hawks:
- He is really fucking light. [Around those 30 kg]
- Like a Hawk, He’s most active at dawn.
- Like a Hawk, he can see ultra violet.
- Like a Hawk, his eyes will become darker as he ages. [Most young hawks (like him) have light yellow eyes.They only become darker (orange/red) as they age. [Imagine 30 y/o Hawks with red eyes.]
- Hawks’ speed:
(If you don’t care so much for the math, you can just skip to the conclusion)
Thank god we got this panel:
Here we see, the building hast at least 15 visible floors. The average height of skyscraper floors is between 2,0 m – 3,20 m, so let’s meet in the middle at 2,6 m.
(The buildings of the street have around 32 f on average (I counted the windows) so let’s add 17 “invisible” f.)
32 f*2,6 m = 83,2 m. The skyscraper Hawks chills on measures about 83,2 m. But the beeline between Endeavor and Hawks is actually even greater. (We have a x here but Hawks still had to be out of anyone’s radius of sight, so under the conditions at least 50 m.)
The shown movement of Endeavor on the mainstreet is (measured by the cars lengths at least) 40 m, plus the side street which measures around 25 m, - so let’s add 65 m.
(Just imagine a triangle with a 90 degree angle, which is the building meeting the street. c=65 m & b=83,2 m - so a has to be 105,5 m)
The direct distance between Endeavors attackers and Hawks measures 105,5 m.
So, now let’s get salty…
Hawks defeats Endeavors attackers after Deku jumps but before Deku lands. The panels lag is (measured by Dekus position in the air) 0,5 seconds.
v = s / t so 105,5/0,5 = 211 km/h.
-> That means Hawks can move 211 km/h (131 mph) without problems.(probably faster)
[In free fall, a Hawk can kill a target with the speed of 400 km/h. (They use the blind spot from above to their advantage.) I dunno if our bird is capable of this, but I’d like to.]
(If you liked this post give me your heart, your soul and worship me in a comment, because I’m a power-hungry individual)
What do you think? Any other cool headcanons I don’t know yet? Did I fuck up in my math? (I can sense it, somewhere up there I made one. I’m searching for my mistake. If you find it, please give it back)
Anyways, have a save day!
