Hawkman (Carter Hall) derives his powers primarily from a rare gravity-defying alien material known as Nth Metal. His iconic wings and weaponry are crafted from this metal, which grants him flight, super-strength, enhanced healing, and hyper-acute eyesight.

In many origin stories, his soul is also tied to an endless cycle of death and rebirth. He is the modern-day reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian Prince Khufu. Because of this, he retains thousands of years of combat expertise and memories from his past lives across space and time.
