Greetings fellow lovers of all things comics. Today's showcase is from the Marvel 2099 line-up. His name is Bloodhawk and his adventures were originally told in the X-Men 2099 titles. So, sit back on this chilly day and have some fun learning about the winged "demon" known as Bloodhawk.
We are first introduced to Bloodhawk as a prisoner of the Synge Casino, about to be executed in a floorshow for damaging Synge transports hauling hazardous materials to desert dumpsites. Krystalin and Meanstreak arrive to rescue him and offer for him to join the new X-Men. Bloodhawk declines, preferring to work by himself to protect his desert home.
After Synge's enforcers raid the X-Men's mutant gathering, Bloodhawk leads them to a local dam for safety, as repayment for them rescuing him.
As the X-Men confront Synge, Skullfire is knocked out one of the casino windows, where Bloodhawk flies in to save him. He joins the fight, during which his wing is broken by Junkpile, but later healed by Xi'an's recently discovered secondary mutation. He stays with the X-Men for a short while longer, attending the funeral of Serpentine who died during the fight with Synge but then returns to the desert.
Bloodhawk continues to constantly find himself in interesting situations. Whether its trying to save the Savage Land or to have situations arise with the Doom of his timeline or returning to the X-Men for an occasional battle, Bloodhawk is always on the prowl to help those in need.
Powers & Abilities
