Wingmen of Thanagar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wingmen are the Thanagarian police force with roles of judge, jury and executor in DC Comics publications.
The Wingmen force wear non-winged helmets, protective military-style armour, metallic wings and carry energy blasters weapons. This group was the major law and order enforcement squad of Thanagar until the Elite Hawkmen Force was formed. Since then, the Wingmen have lost its prime importance and prestige and are used as front line warriors.
[edit] Elite Hawkmen Force
The Elite Hawkmen are the elite force of Thanagar.
This elite squad was formed by high ranking officials in order to turn the winged helmet's first concept of honor - a Thanagarian symbol of heroism amongst the Wingmen - into a competition's top-prize for the best soldiers. A very natural idea for a military society as Thanagar.
Hawkmen's armor and weaponry are visually the same to that of Wingmen, but are in fact superior. Besides, Hawkmen obviously wear the winged helmet.
In order to keep the Elite Hawkmen Force status as the best warriors, they are only sent into battle when victory is almost assured. Their task is to slaughter a weakened enemy and put an end to the battle.
