Elite Hawkmen Force
The Elite Hawkmen (sometimes called the Hawkman Corps) are the elite force of Thanagar. This elite squad was formed by high-ranking officials in order to turn the winged helmet's (or "Honor Wings") first concept of honor - a Thanagarian symbol of heroism amongst the Wingmen - into a competition's top-prize for the best of the best soldiers. A very natural idea for a military society as Thanagar thought up by Alien Affairs official Kanjar Ro, who informed Thal Provis and Andar Pul of the possibility of Katar Hol becoming a traitor. The idea was if an individual falters, that person is seen as a failure. But if one was to die while wearing a winged helmet, that Hawkman is seen as a martyr and that person's death increases the mystique of the Hawkman. Therefore, the person doesn't matter but the concept of the Hawkman. Hawkmen's armor and weaponry are visually the same to that of Wingmen, but are in fact superior. Besides, Hawkmen obviously wear the winged helmet. In order to keep the Elite Hawkmen Force status as the best warriors, they are only sent into battle when victory is almost assured. Their task is to slaughter a weakened enemy and put an end to the battle.

Famous quotes containing the words elite and/or force:
“Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.”
—Rupert Murdoch (b. 1931)
“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. And also the only real tragedy in life is being used by personally minded men for purposes which you recognize to be base.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
