Line 15:
* [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]: He fits under the ''Animal Alias'' type since there isn't a lot of hawklike things about him.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The amulets that give the users armor.
* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: In his final issues, Darkhawk acquired a new suit of armor and new powers (including finally being able to fly on his own). The series was cancelled, Darkhawk disappeared for a few years and when he came back, he was back to his older design with none of his fancy new powers. Also, the recent ''[[War of Kings]]'' event sheds a new light as to the nature of Darkhawk's origins.
** {{spoiler|However, knowing that Talon was simply manipulating Chris now makes the canon even ''more'' uncertain than it was before.}}
* [[Chest Blaster]]: He can fire forcefields and from his [[Chest Insignia]].
Line 33:
* [[Organic Technology]]: There is synthetic flesh under that suit, as well as blood. As mentioned, the amulet served as the android's heart as well.
* [[Powered Armor]]
* [[Power-Up]]: As Chris understood more about his armor, the more powers he discovered. As mentioned in the [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]] section above, these powers were quickly forgotten but the ''War of Kings'' gave him a different set of upgrades any way.
** Specifically, he gained the ability to switch between different armor modes, each of which had their own unique powers. And it's also hinted by both Talon and a Skrull that he hasn't even begun to unleash his full potential.
* [[Rogues Gallery Transplant]]: Mild examples. Both [[Spider-Man|the Hobgoblin and Tombstone]] showed up in early issues as reoccuring villains. In fact, the Hobgoblin was the first super villain he faced. Later, [[X-Men|The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]] showed up quite a bit despite editors for X-Men comics being very picky about that sort of thing. Even later, [[Spider-Man|Venom]], of all people, developed a recurring feud with Darkhawk. Ironically, Darkhawk typically tended to have an easier time against Venom than Spider-Man did, possibly because Darkhawk wasn't psyched out by Venom the way Spidey was.
