DC
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Janos Prohaska was a Polish man who joined the Polish Air Force at a young age and had already become a national hero by 1936 alongside his trusted friends Stanislaus Drozdowski and Kazimierc "Zeg" Zegota-Januszajtis. Prior to the outbreak of World War II, the trio travel across Europe, providing freelance service and even fighting for a time in the Spanish Civil War as members of the Communist party. (Secret Origins v2 #45)
Following the end of World War II, Janos set up his own private charter air service in East Asia. However, he met with little success and sank into a dissolute life in Singapore. (Action Comics v1 #602)

Powers and abilities
Notes
- Blackhawk was created by Chuck Cuidera, Bob Powell and Will Eisner where he made his first appearance in Military Comics v1 #1 (August, 1941).
- At Comic Con (1999), Eisner commented, "It's not important who created it...it's the guy who kept it going, and made something out if it that's more important. Whether or not Chuck Cuidera created or thought of Blackhawk to begin with is unimportant. The fact that Chuck Cuidera made Blackhawk what it was is the important thing, and therefore, he should get the credit."
