History

Pre-Crisis

The Wingmen were a police force on the planet Thanagar consisting of winged Thanagarians.

The bird-like beings known as the Manhawks were the first thieves that appeared on Thanagar and were instrumental in the formation of their police force. (Hawkman v1 #18)

Post-Crisis

Onimar Synn later arose on Thanagar where he corrupted the planet and took control of it where his rule was enforced through the Dark Wingmen that were the dead revived by necrophists. (JSA v1 #23)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.

In the search for answers on the Totality, Martian Manhunter along with John Stewart and Kendra Saunders travelled to Thanagar Prime to find the Martian Keep. Upon arriving, they were nearly arrested by Wingmen but the Thanagarians were called off by their monarch who was Empress Shayera Hol. (Justice League v4 #14)

Overview

It was said that there was a lot of room for advancement in the Wingmen division. (Hawkworld v1 #1)

Police on Thanagar wore distinctive uniforms that possessed wings that attached to them. (Brave and the Bold v1 #34)

Anti-Gravity Belts were used to give them the power of flight with manual controls allowing the user to ascend or descend whilst the wings governed speed as well as angle of flight. (Brave and the Bold v1 #34)

Wingmen had access to interstellar ships that could adjust the speed their velocitors took them across space. Radarscopes were used by the ships to track quarries and criminals that were on the run. Their vessels contained hibernation chambers where they could place criminals with the machine keeping them unconscious and preventing their escape whilst the vessel took them back to headquarters for detention.
