DC Comics: Blackhawk #262 (1983)

 

By circa 1940-June-21 at the very earliest, Hinrichten agent Domino had been tried and condemned and awaited a firing squad. Blackhawk officer Andre had intercepted a propaganda newsreel of Hitler gloating over having personally assassinated four world leaders, "four days in the future," or "next Monday." The team split up to guard four targets (De Gaulle, Stalin, Churchill, & Roosevelt), in three distant places. Domino escaped from her ineptly-guarded cell on death row and from the badly underperforming Royal Army.

 

Domino in one day gets from a military prison in England to Berlin. All four assassination attempts (in rural France, Moscow, London, and London) are thwarted, and all four assassins self-destruct, by detonating chest-mounted bombs (believing they are activating their quick-escape equipment). These assassins were the Hitler-impersonating "Four Zwillings." At story's end, Blackhawk and Domino are each assigned to destroy the other.

 

Blackhawk is the eponymous fictional character of the long-running comic book series Blackhawk first published by Quality Comics and later by DC Comics. Primarily created by Chuck Cuidera with input from both Bob Powell and Will Eisner, the Blackhawk characters first appeared in Military Comics #1 (August 1941).

 

Led by a mysterious man known as Blackhawk, the Blackhawks (or more formally, the Blackhawk Squadron) are a small team of World War II-era ace pilots of varied nationalities, each typically known under a single name, either their given name or their surname. Though the membership roster has undergone changes over the years, the team has been portrayed most consistently as having seven core members.

 

In their most well-known incarnation, the Blackhawks operate from a hidden base known only as Blackhawk Island, fly Grumman XF5F Skyrocket fighter aircraft, and shout their battle cry of "Hawk-a-a-a!" as they descend from the skies to fight tyranny and oppression. Clad in matching blue and black uniforms (with Blackhawk himself boasting a hawk insignia on his chest), early stories pitted the team against the Axis powers, but they would also come to battle recurring foes such as King Condor and Killer Shark, as well as encounter an array of gorgeous and deadly femme fatales. They also frequently squared off against fantastical war machines ranging from amphibious "shark planes" and flying tanks, to the aptly named War Wheel, a gigantic rolling behemoth adorned with spikes and machine guns.

 

At the height of his popularity in the early 1940s, Blackhawk titles routinely outsold every other comic book but Superman. Blackhawk also shares the distinction of being just one of five comic book characters to be published continuously in their own titles from the 1940s up to the 1960s (the others being Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Phantom).

 

The comic book series has spawned a film serial, a radio series, a novel, and has been announced as a forthcoming Steven Spielberg feature film. A grounded version of Blackhawk named Ted Gaynor appeared on television in the first season of the Arrowverse series Arrow, played by Ben Browder.
