Carter Hall is an archaeologist who has been reincarnated thousands of times. He operates as the hero Hawkman, a winged protector empowered by Nth Metal armor.
Carter Hall was originally born as Khufu, Prince of Egypt. One night he encountered a ship made of Nth Metal, the same material that was used to kill him and his lover Chay-Ara by the evil Hath-Set. The Nth Metal gifted both Khufu and Chay-Ara belts and boots which gave them many abilities and the power of reincarnation, causing them to enter a cycle of constantly being reincarnated in different time periods, only for Hath-Set to eventually kill them again. Khufu took many faces over the centuries such as the Silent Knight and Nighthawk, always baring the symbol of a hawk. In the modern day Khufu was born as Carter Hall and took up the alias Hawkman to defeat evil.
