KNIGHT HAWK JUSTICE

 

Created by writer Joman Reyes and artist Luisito Antonio, Knight Hawk Justice ran in Terminator Komiks (published by Sonic Triangle Publishing, Inc.) from 1993 to 1994.  Not to be confused with the similarly-named character from Pilipino Superheroes Pocketkomiks, this Knight Hawk was a death-dealing vigilante (part-Batman, part-Punisher) whose true identity remained a mystery.

WEAPONS AND ABILITIES

Skilled in both armed and unarmed combat, Knight Hawk employed an arsenal of advanced gadgetry and lethal weaponry.  His main mode of transportation was his high-tech Hawk Car.

SINO SI KNIGHT HAWK?

Some episodes of the series ended with the question "Sino si Knight Hawk?" ("Who is Knight Hawk?")  While it was never really revealed, there were at least two possible candidates...

BOLT GADIN

The son of a corrupt judge, Bolt is a tough, principled young lawyer determined to learn the truth about his mother's murder.












RUD

Heir to wealthy couple Don Miguel and Donya Elsa Padilla, Rud searches for his long-lost half-brother, Dalton.  To this end, he infiltrates the underworld, working as a snitch for police chief Cepe.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS

GWEN TORRES
Bolt's girlfriend and fellow attorney.  More than beauty and brains, she is also more than capable of kicking ass.

JUDGE GLEN GADIN

Bolt's father, a corrupt judge, but is a much more complex character than he seems.  Supposedly, Glen took up his illegal activities so as not to take advantage of his wife Marta's wealth. He appears to show a bit of remorse for his actions after Marta's death.

RENE STA. CLARA

A crusading radio news anchor.  Once suspected of being Knight Hawk himself, until Hawk saves him from some corrupt cops.












CHIEF CEPE

A corrupt police official secretly in league with the crime syndicate.
