| ~ Ground Hawk preparing to lunge at Hughie Campbell - his catchphrase and only words. |
Ground Hawk is a minor antagonist in the controversial comic book series The Boys and a supporting character in The Boys Presents: Diabolical. He is a member of the superhero team, G-Men, despite being an almost mindless, feral supe.
Biography[]
Comics[]
Almost nothing is known about his previous life, but it is assumed that, just like other G-Men members, he was kidnapped as a child, given Compound V, raped and abused by their founder, John Godolkin, and trained to become a superhero as well as the leader of the G-Men. His animalistic needs to kill people with his hammer-hands, his fearlessness, and his inability to speak proper words other than his phrase "Gonna" are a result of the side effects caused by Compound V. Due to the fact that he has hammers for hands, his teammates normally feed him during lunch. However, he is rather cannibalistic and would normally eat his enemies/victims alive.
Ground Hawk is first seen in the comics growling and preparing to engage Hughie Campbell, but is soon stopped by one of his teammates. Vought would become concerned with Godolkin, who is selfish, greedy, and sexually abusive and becomes too much of a problem for the mega-corporation to deal with. Ground Hawk leads the G-Men and the G-squads, such as G-Force, G-Wiz, and G-Style, as they decide to take a stand against Vought's attempt at taking down Godolkin. They foolishly underestimate Vought's power and tech. That's when Vought forces fire bullets and bombs into the crowd and kills every single one of the G-Men, including Ground Hawk himself.
TV Series[]
On the Vought News Network, Cameron Coleman reports on Ground Hawk being sent to the Vought Wellness Center to battle his alcoholism after attacking various police officers near a local bar.
He appears in the animated spin-off series The Boys Presents: Diabolical episode Nubian vs. Nubian. Here Ground Hawk is portrayed in a more sympathetic light, compared to most other superheroes. Ground Hawk's villainous rampages are actually acts he was forced to perform on orders from Vought, complete with script. One of these rampages were the cause of the Vought heroes Nubia and Nubian Prince getting together in the first place.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Superhuman durability: Due to Compound V, he gained superhuman durability, which prevents him from dying as well as withstanding fatal wounds and damage without being weakened. Despite this, overwhelming firepower will eventually kill him, just as it does its teammates.
- Super strength: Ground Hawk is strong enough to fight off countless people with ease as well as flip over a car with his hammers.
- Skilled use of his hammers: Ground Hawk has two hammers where his hands should be, which is considered a great difficulty for him as he can't grab things. However, said hammers are lethal and can smash a person's head with one hit.

Trivia[]
- Ground Hawk is an obvious parody of Wolverine, with hammers for hands as opposed to Wolverine's claws.
- Ground Hawk is also a grim representation and exploitation of what Wolverine could be if he lost control and became feral.
- The reason for the sheer ridiculousness of the design and personality of Ground Hawk is because he is the least favourite superhero of the comics creator, Garth Ennis.
