[edit] Appearances in Other Media

Hawkgirl Shayera Hol, known on Earth as Hawkgirl, was a lieutenant and an instructor in espionage on the planet Thanagar, engaged to be married to Thangarian Commander Hro Talak. She was sent in advance of the Thanagarian invasion as a scout to determine Earths weaknesses should Thanagar's enemies, the Gordanians, attack. Her cover story was that she was tracking criminals to their fortress when she was unexpectedly teleported to Earth. Shayera eventually established herself and became known to the populace as Hawkgirl. Due to her efforts during the invasion, Hawkgirl was invited aboard the Watchtower, and formed the Justice League along with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and J'onn. This incarnation appeared on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited produced for the Cartoon Network from 2001-2006. - For more on this Hawgirl see article at DCAU Wiki
