History

(Hawk & Dove V #2, 3) - Judge Irwin Hall was being honored at the White House with a lifetime achievement, and Hank Hall and Dawn Granger, aka Hawk and Dove, avatars of war and peace, attended. Obama presented Hall with the award and gave a speech detailing his plans for America’s economic future. Hank quickly grew bored of Obama’s speech, and when Dawn noted that Ren wasn’t around he agreed to go look for her. There was an explosion, and Hank and Dawn transformed into Hawk and Dove, only to be confronted by Swan and Condor, who had his claws around the necks of Judge Hall and Obama. Condor threatened to neuter President Obama, and while Dove tried to calm the situation down, Hawk leapt into battle, making a point of saying he didn’t vote for Obama, but he wouldn’t see him hurt. During the fight Condor bit the head off a secret service agent, and told Hawk he’d only threatened Obama to draw him and Dove out, and revealed that he knew Hawk’s secret identity and that Hawk was created for a war he knew nothing about. Dove and Swan paired off in battle, with Dove calling her opponent a cheap knock-off. Swan mentioned a war circle that considered Hawk and Dove a joke and told Dove she she was going to kill her and absorb her powers. Swan revealed the enchanted dagger she intended to steal Dove’s powers with. Deadman possessed Obama, helping Hall get to safety, and then tried to possess Condor, but instead of gaining control of him he was confronted my a monstrous winged creature that was part of Condor’s soul and driven out. Dove had taken care of Swan, and saved Hawk by stabbing Condor with the enchanted dagger. Condor was wounded, but not dead, and when his healing factor kicked in he turned back into his human form, that of a frail old man.
