Damn it Marvel! Why'd the Squadron Sinister have to be cooler than the Justice League members they're ripping off! Doctor Spectrum and Nighthawk especially (they seem way cooler than Batman and Hal Jordan to me). Apparently even your rip offs of DC are cooler than DC! Because seriously, Nighthawk is way cooler than Batman! I found him a bit dull when I tried to read the defenders years ago, but he's still way cooler than batman! (Avengers #69):

Earth-21195
Home to the Squadron Sinister; Mark Milton (King Hyperion), Zarda Shelton (Warrior Woman), Kyle Richmond (Nighthawk), James Sanders (Whizzer), and Kinji Obatu (Doctor Spectrum). An evil reality similar to Earth-712, but whose variants are morally flipped. After the destruction of this reality by an Incursion, a segment of this Earth was used to form a region on the multiversal Battleworld known as Utopolis.
First mentioned/appearance: Secret Wars #2 (2015), Squadron Supreme vol 4 #4 (2016)

It's Avengers: Endgame back in 1969. But more literal this time, as this comic is actually about the end of a game between Kang and The Grandmaster. (Avengers #71):

Avengers Annual #8 (Slifer/Perez, Jan 1978). Only Hank Pym would reassemble a villain’s jewelry to give to his wife as a birthday gift. She winds up possessed, natch, giving us a chance to catch up with the quasi-reformed Squadron Sinister and Thundra.

Part I
Invited under false pretenses, Sally pays a visit to a world-famous 'Bots engineer, but his chateau of ghastly souls hides something far more sinister in, "Death at the End of the Rainbow" (with special guest star Vince Nelson as Dr. Leo Carrallas)
Welcome to the Chateau of Dr. Carrallas...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Chateau of Dr. Carrallas comes into view. A modified Blast-TechBot is distracted from its gardening work by the arrival of the visitor.
Tumblr media
An augmented P45 LumensBot-turned-GroundsBot takes notice and soon, so will everyone else.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Greeted by Williams, an arrogant ButlerBot fashioned from a vintage, out-of-production, Damata Hotels ServiceBot. Soon enough, Sally realizes the chateau is populated with modified bots doing jobs they were never meant to do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sally finally meets Dr. Carrallas. He's been keeping tabs on her. Is impressed with her work, both on and off planet. Goes on to talk about his robotics work and his info-node communication system. How all of the bots at the chateau are modified by his design. And how they all contain living brains as processing units. But a robot is so cold and by definition alone, inhuman. The next step, for him, was to forgo the artificial body. But he demanded excellence and not just any body. He has a surprise. Mutual friends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dr. Carrallas summons Annie, Betty, and Christie - Crimson Squadron pilots reported MIA and then declared prisoners of The Malignant, now enslaved cyborgs of a deranged man.
And, unfortunately, he being a Malignant-sympathizer, can't allow Sally to live, but would hate to see such a specimen die.
Dr. Carrallas offers her a challenge: Make it through his Garden Hedge Maze and she gets to live (a lie, he'll turn her into a 'borg no matter what). But, he reveals, the true challenge is that she will be going up against Roy G Biv.
Tumblr media
And before she can think, before she can act- What was once Squadron Commander Peter Avalone and is now a mindless, vicious SecurityBorg- Grabs her!
To Be Continued in Part II...

Nighthawk By Green-Mamba
Real Name: Kyle Richmond
First Appearance: The Avengers #69 (October 1969)
Orphaned as a child by in a racially motivated drive-by shooting, Kyle Richmond vowed to dedicate his life to stamping out white supremacy. Undergoing rigorous physical training and using his inheritance to craft an array of weapons and vehicles, Richmond became the Nighthawk, the vengeance against all who would prey on the disenfranchised.
The most controversial recruit of Hyperion's Squadron Supreme, Richmond had at first been a proponent of the Utopia Project, as he believed it was the best way to bring about the systemic change the world needed.
But when it came to forcibly reprogramming people, Richmond saw the potential it had to be used as a tool of oppression, and he left the Squadron a fugitive.
Joining together a group of like minded individuals who sought to put an end to the Utopia Project, their fight became a perilous one as the natural disasters caused by the untethering of their world with their counter-Earth worsened.
On the day of the alignment, when it was believed the two Earths would cross each other's paths in space, Richmond's redeemers intended to use the cover of the worsening earthquakes to take back the Squadron Supreme's headquarters, but fate took a different turn.
Expecting to find the halls empty as the Squadron was busy dealing with the latest natural disasters, Richmond instead found a bearded wizard in a red cloak battling to contain a giant man with green skin.
Wary of potential collateral damage, Richmond tried to intervene in their conflict before the sorcerer's dimensional mirror spell was shattered by the green goliath.
When he came to, Richmond did not find himself in the Squadron's headquarters, instead in the sorcerer's sanctum--on the counter-Earth.
It seems the sorcerer, who called himself Doctor Strange, was attempting to help the green man, called Bruce Banner, contain his anger in a phase shifted dimension, but they had accidentally ended up in the respective counter-Earth in doing so due to the alignment.
Richmond explained himself and the dire situation of his counter-Earth.
But with the alignment now passed and the unusual circumstances of the transportation not known, Richmond was now stuck in a different world as his slowly died, trapped under the tyrannical heel of the Squadron Supreme.
As Strange tries to help Nighthawk figure out a way back to his counter-Earth, Nighthawk joins his nascent Defenders team alongside the Hulk after learning that the Avengers had been hunting the green giant down for deserting them, which makes Nighthawk see the Avengers as little better than the Squadron Supreme.
Yep, another Squadron Supreme member.
Obviously if you're going to do a second one after Hyperion it has to be Nighthawk, the Squadron Supreme's answer to Batman.
But Nighthawk is a funny one--there are like at least four Nighthawks, all named Kyle Richmond, who have all had a prominent role in the Marvel comics at some point.
There is the original Squadron Sinister one who later became a hero and joined the Defenders, there is the actual proper Squadron Supreme one who lead the redeemers against them (and later died, passing his mantle to his son), there is the Supreme Power one who was a black man fighting against racists, and then there is the modern one from Mephisto's Squadron Supreme.
I decided to merge the first three together, he's a black man who fights against racists who joins the Squadron Supreme but ends up fighting against them with the redeemers and then ends up joining Doctor Strange's Defenders.
But that meant there was a lot to get through in the bio! I hope I hit all the main points.
So Nighthawk is actually the first person from Counter-Earth to cross over to the mainline Earth (as the Squadron Supreme is from Counter-Earth in my universe).
And if you're keeping track, my Defenders roster is Doctor Strange, Valkyrie, Hellcat, Nighthawk, and Hulk. This is the entire starting roster, if you're wondering.
Maybe I'll draw them all together in the future. I dunno.
But yeah. I think the two most well known looks for Nighthawk are the original Defenders' era's Nighthawk and the Supreme Power's Nighthawk.
So I tried to combine the two looks while also trying to make him look as much like Batman in silhouette as I could.
So he's got the dark blue with the yellow bird emblem and the wing like red cape of the original (plus the extendable claws!), as well as the scale armor and scary goggles of the Supreme Power's Nighthawk.
The added little "ears" on the side of the goggles help give him more of a Batman like silhouette, and yeah, I know hawks don't have points like that on their head, it makes him look more like an owl.
But that's okay.
The bird emblem took the longest to design, I originally tried to get it to look closer to his classic emblem but it just wasn't working out, so I took inspiration from Nightwing's emblem, what with the whole Batman connection.
And like I said with Hyperion, the Squadron Supreme are designed to look inherently less grounded than my normal Marvel designs, to help sell them apart.
