Wing Hero "Hawks" (ウィングヒーロー ホークス) is the former No. 3 Pro Hero (as of the start of the series) and the current No. 2 Pro Hero.

Appearance
Hawks is a relatively short man with messy, ash blonde hair. Due to his Quirk, he possesses very large bright red wings. He wears a black shirt with a wavy silver pattern, a tan jacket, black gloves, light pants, a belt, headphones and a blue visor.

Synopsis
At some point during his childhood, Hawks saved a family during a high-speed car accident. The family were shocked to discover their hero was a child, and vowed to support him and his family. It appears that Hawks was somewhat boxed into the Pro Hero profession by this incident, as his Quirk is especially powerful and helpful in rescue situations.

After becoming the No.2 Pro Hero, Hawks was approached by the Hero Public Safety Commission with the request that he become a double agent to infiltrate the League of Villains and ensure they have no secretive way to escape if they are found.

Personality
Hawks is carefree, jovial and dislikes formalities, often acting in a spontaneous and unpredictable way while being cocky and taunting. He believes that popular approval is the most important metric a Pro Hero should be judged for and does not appear to take the official rankings seriously, showing a preference for the lower ranks as it would allow him to act more freely and avoid the burdens of being a top hero.

He is very talkative and can have a long, one-sided conversation casually while doing his work as a hero. He also claims that he'll always strive for what he longs for. Ironically, despite his bird-like quirk, he seems to have a special liking for chicken and other bird-based meals.

Still, he is said to be ferocious in regards to his pro hero duties and understands the importance of a leader figure among all heroes after All Might's retirement.

While Hawks seems uninterested in most things, he has a good heart as he saved many people from harm of High End's attack and was silently disgusted at the strain of maintaining his act in his task of uncovering the League of Villains' plan. He was also guilty about Endeavor's serious wounds.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Hawk is incredibly powerful, befitting his position as the No. 2 ranked hero. He was able to effortlessly defeat an empowered villain without paying attention to him in the slightest, and could easily slice through weak Nomu giving other heroes trouble. He also seemed confident in his ability to beat Dabi with merely one feather blade.

Quirk
Fierce Wings (剛翼): Hawks' Quirk grants him massive, bright red wings. Hawks is also capable of shooting out his feathers from his wings. As he sheds more feathers, his wings gradually shrink, impairing his flight ability. Hawks is able to telekinetically control the movement of each of them with ease. The feathers are also shown to be considerably strong, capable of carrying medium-sized objects such as rocks or human beings with just a single feather for each one or mutiple for large objects. Hawks mentions he does not have enough feathers to hold up a collapsing building implying that if he did have more he would be able to hold it up.


 * Feather Blades: Hawks plucks out two long feathers from each of his wings, and uses them as swords to cut through his target. They are strong enough to slice through two white Nomu summoned by High-End.

Quotes

 * (To Endeavor) "I just wanna enjoy myself. Seriously. Do some leisurely patrolling, put in a few appearances, say "Aw shucks, no trouble today," and get a good night's sleep! That's my ideal life! I wanna make this world one where heroes have time to kill."
