So, how old is Hawks? 22. Young enough to be reckless, old enough to be dangerous. He’s a feathery force of nature with a baby face. And that’s why we love him. He reminds us that you don’t need decades of experience to be great. You just need good instincts, a killer smile, and a bunch of flying knives attached to your back.
Now go rewatch the series. Look at Hawks smugly leaning on a wall. Remember he’s barely out of college age. And then realize: that guy is probably the most competent person in the room. Wild, right? Go tell a friend this fact. Watch their face melt. Trust me, it’s hilarious.
And if you ever meet a 22-year-old hero in real life? Buy them a drink. They probably need it more than Hawks does. Which is saying something.
