Jack Danner's older brother Joe knocked his own brains out when he stepped on a rake; then, when Jack was five, his father's drunken driving killed his parents. Neither tragedy turned him into a tortured, vengeful soul. Jack spent seven years in St. Fredericks, cared for by Father Joe. When he was twelve, his Aunt Ruth returned from Europe, taking custody of Jack and his best friend Daniel Tolliver, housing them in Danner Manor. Unable to cope with their delinquint ways, Ruth soon accepted an offer from groundskeeper Kwi Chi to raise them alongside his own son, Lee Chi. He taught all three discipline and the martial arts. One night, Jack witnessed a hawk attacking an owl in the woods, and he raced to the rescue; afterwards, Kwi stated that Jack was now both the hawk and the owl.
The boys grew up strong and nseparable. Together they won martial arts tornaments, served in the military, and went to university. Jack traveled the world, training under the best fighting teachers. Back in Chicago, Jack decided to do something about the soaring crime rate and became the vigilante Hawk-Owl, operating out of the Owl's Nest, a hidden base atop the Manor.
Jack began to consider adopting a child, imagining fighting alongside a son as Hawk-Owl and "Woody"; he even had a costume made for the latter. When robbers broke into St. Frederick's to hide from the Police and took children hostage, Hawk-Owl captured them with the assistance of orphan Hank Kipple. Impressed by Kipple, Jack arranged to adopt him. The cynical Hank viewed his new father with open contempt, unwilling to trust anyone after being alone for so long. Even when he discovered the Nest and Jack's alter-ego, Hank rejected him. To prove he was being serious about being a father, he quit being Hawk-Owl; once Hank realized he wasn't bluffing, they finally began to bond. Soon after, the Ultimates tried to draft Hawk-Owl into their ranks; unimpressed by their arrogance, Hawk-Owl came to blows with Captain America and Giant-Man until Thor ended the fight, and the Ultimates departed.
When Hank's school principal Morgan Jones became the criminally insane Principal and put Jack in a coma, Hank tried to stop Jones as Woody, placing himself in peril before the awakened Hawk-Owl came to his rescue. The duo continue to protect Chicago, dedicated to make the windy city a little safer.
