SquadronSupreme- HyperionVsNighthawk


Squadron Supreme: Hyperion vs Nighthawk storyline was as stated, it was about these two superheroes fight each other and ending up in teaming to fight the Africans Superheroes.

These two character in Squadrin Supreme makes me think about DCs Worlds Finest: the Superman and Batman, why? Just let me talk about Hyperion and Nighthawks origin then you be the judge.Hyperions origin was from out of space, came here with a alien spaceship, raised by humans and have a world most briliant genius Emil Burbank as his nemesis. (Hmm Clark Kent and Lex Luthur, huh?). Now Nighthawk here was a damn rich blackman in US which dress like a covert ops vigilante that fight crimes in the night. (Hmm Bruce Wayne?)Well ok, I'm not going to go deep into that here as there will be 2 other series its all about them.

The Whole story here is really about politics, how US uses project Squadron Supreme as a spearhead to show the world what "peace" meant, crushing you if you're not obey or posses too much firepower. Conspiracy all over the place, but here's the kick, Nighthawk was the guy that only defends justice in US was about to spread his area worldwide to Africa tribe conflicts. Here the comic series didn't actually express the story straight forward, its some flashbacks here and there.

Nighthawk was planning to carry out his saviour mission but he knew that Hyperion was going to be his main problem. So he managed to get some gadget invent by Emil Burbank. Then lure Hyperion by leaving his spaceship remains during his attack in the tribe killers. Playing Hyperion in his hands, Nighthawk uses him as his tool to carry out his saviour mission. Artwork is nice and storyline is ok for adults who like a bit of facts instead of high flying superhero kids stunts.

Story: Medium(Never been a fan of political shit)

Artwork: Good

Overall:Acceptable
