Overview
Personality and attributes
He had a reputation of appearing out of the night similar to his namesake where he struck at crime and injustice. Hannibal said that the Nighthawk worked on the side of law and order. In a fight, he used tactics such as shooting out the lights to blind his enemies with Hawkes saying he worked better in the dark. (Western Comics v1 #5)
Powers and abilities
Nighthawk was said to possess a sharp wit that could make anything sharp into a weapon no matter how innocent the object. He was able to use a silk lasso and throw it accuracy enough to snatch a person around the neck. Hawkes also came to use a wire-cutting belt that he believed was the handiest gadget he had ever invented. Hannibal's guns were noted to be deadly with him using them in defense of the right.

Hawkes maintained a secret compartment in his wagon that contained his vigilante uniform. (Western Comics v1 #5)
