Background Information
The version of Hawkman used on the cartoon is probably the Silver Age version, who is a native of the parallel-universe Earth-One; Katar Hol who was from the planet of Thanagar. Katar's father was Paran Katar, renowned ornithologist and inventor. Among Paran Katar's various creations are the anti-gravity Nth Metal and their wings.

Katar soon became one of the most skilled of the Hawk-Police and wife to Shayera Hol. After ten years of marriage, the pair were sent to Earth in 1959 (1965 in the Earth-1A universe) to capture the shape-shifting Thanagarian criminal Byth. Following this mission, they elected to remain on Earth to work with authorities in Midway City in the United States to learn human police methods. The two adopted covers as a pair of museum curators, Katar and Shayera Hol. He joined the newly formed Justice League of America in the early 1960's (the JLA was founded in late 68' in the Earth-1A universe).
