Katar Hol and Shayera Hol are Thanagarian warriors. The both of them ended up becoming heroes of Earth, known as Hawkman and Hawkgirl. And the two of them serve as members of the Justice League. Most canon universes have them as a married couple or lovers.
Earth-One[]
They were a married couple, in addition to being partners in crimefighting. They gotten married 10 years after their first assigned mission together.
During the 4-part mini-series The Shadow Wars of Hawkman, when Katar thought his wife was vaporized (actually Mavis Trent dressed as Hawkgirl) by fellow Thanagarians, he goes on a rampage of revenge on them.
Post-Hawkworld[]
They were never married (thus Shayera goes by her maiden name "Thal"). However, they did have strong feelings for each other despite their differences. Though any further romance between them came to an end when Katar was banished into limbo due to being possessed by a "hawk god" creature, as well as being driven insane by memories of predecessor Carter Hall's past lives.
Post-Flashpoint[]
In The Savage Hawkman, Katar Hol was the lover of the Thangarian princess Shayera Thal.
Following The Death of Hawkman, Katar was reincarnated into Carter Hall. And alongside Shayera, he discovered that the Thanagarians, Katar and Shayera, were reincarnations of Ktar Deathbringer and Shrra alongside Prince Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara (as well as the human Carter Hall and Shiera Sanders). Following Ktar's redemption, the two decided to reincarnate as their Golden Age selves but despite this, Katar and Shayera still exist in some form on Earth as a married couple.
The one-shot Hawkman & Hawkman: The Changelign introduced their son, Hektor Hol, named after their human counterpart Hector Hall.
Moments[]
- In The Dark Knight Strikes Again (sequel to The Dark Knight Returns), the Hols tried to return to Thanagar to flee from Lex Luthor's military dictatorship, only to crash in the rainforest of Costa Rica. They decided to remain in hiding. They give birth to a son and a daughter, giving them natural wings. Katar and Shayera were killed by a military strike ordered by Lex, embracing each other in their final moments.
- In JLA: The Nail #3, Shayera paid a visit to her husband's shrine at the Midway City Museum, crying over his death and saying that she can no longer remain on Earth.
- In the Legend of the Hawkman 3-issue mini-series, they talked about having children.
- In Ame-Comi Girls, Shayera Thath and Katar Hol were childhood friends; Shayera would protect Katar from bullies. They eventually got married (much to her step-mother's disapproval) and joined the Wingmen together. Sadly, Katar was killed when Thanagar was under attack and got turned into a Black Lantern, forcing Shayera to kill him for good.
