Who is Hank Hall?

Origin Hawk Hank Hall and his brother Don were complete polar opposites. Hank was hard-headed, and irascible with a talent for athletics. He lorded this over his brother, whose talents were more intellectual and pacifistic. Although they could often be each others most ardent adversaries, Hank and Don were extremely close and Hank was very protective of his younger brother. By his teens, Hank grew to be fiercely proud of America's role in world events, and firmly believed in the policy of dealing with Communist regimes from a position of strength. Irwin Hall , a prominent superior court judge, often lectured his sons on seeing both sides of an issue, not just making judgments from their respective conservative (Hank) and liberal (Don) views. He tried to make them realize that justice requires balance, not single-mindedness. During Hank's senior year in high school, Hank and Don were visiting Judge Hall at work when an assassination attempt was made on their father.
