Powers and Abilities

Darkhawk's abilities seem to have been randomly rolled on a MSH table ;). Whenever he
touches his alien amulet, Chris is teleported to the starship in nullspace, and the
Darkhawk android body take his place. This body has enhanced strength, durability and
agility, as well as some vision powers. He also has a costume with a claw-cable on his
right hand and retractable glider wings under his arms, with an ominous looking helmet.

Chris is an excellent student of kendo and unarmed martial arts, and has proven able to
successfully defend himself against four young toughs at once.

History:

Dargin Bokk was an intergalactic crime lord, who sought to improve his agents so they
would become expandable, but able to come back (Invulnerability). He thus went on a
quest for independent scientists, whose inventions could be combined to create super-
agents. One scientist had a mean to store consciousness, another a teleportational system
which could substitute a being for another, a Terran built sophisticated androids, another
scientist worked on telepathy, another on the techno-virus, and the last one had managed
to access a pocket dimension called null-space.

Five android, each with an amulet allowing to telepathically control it, were designed.
However, most of the scientists had been coerced by Bokk, and they rebelled using the
Darkhawk bodies. Bokk killed one of the Darkhawk and took over it, becoming
Evilhawk. One of the 'hawks fused with Bokk's starship, and another had his body stolen
by Portal. The two remaining ones projected their consciousness on Earth, and became
mysterious Darkhawk supporting characters.
One of the amulets ended up in the hands of Chris Powell, a young New Yorker. He
became a vigilante after he discovered his father, a cop, was on the take from a local
crime lord, and made himself powerful enemies.

Description:

As Darkhawk, he's 6'1" and athletic, and clad in a night-blue costume with metallic soles,
collar and belt, and a metallic apparel on his right forearm with a three-pronged claw-like
grapnel above his hand. He has black triangular shoulder plates, and a forward jutting
helmet that looks a bit like a TIE pilot's in Star Wars. The Darkhawk body uses a vocoder
with a hollow, inhuman voice, and "bleeds" a bright green fluid when wounded.

The second Darkhawk android body and armour, not currently covered by this writeup,
looked like this:

Personality

Darkhawk is just a brave kid thrust into a volatile situation. He's in that teenage phase
where you rebel against authority (OTOH, his father is a cop on the take), and thus
became a vigilante. He seems to have been heavily influenced by Batman comics, and
sometimes consider himself as justice incarnate.
