Appearance
Even though there is almost nothing left inside him that could be considered human, he is visibly distinguished only by his red pupils and ribbed/metallic (depending on the artist) soles of his feet (the latter has the deliberate result that he does not need to wear shoes, hence he can go barefoot and always be in contact with the city's streets and sidewalks). In his original appearance in Stormwatch, a government agent vomited at the sight of Jack naked, implying that his genitals were horrifically deformed. However, Hawksmoor has had multiple sexual relationships throughout his subsequent appearances, and such an issue has never been depicted.
He is named after Spring Heeled Jack and the baroque architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Jack Hawksmoor is one of the superheroes without costumes, although he is usually dressed in a stylish black suit with a white shirt.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
