5. He Comes From A Planet Of Literal Fascists

Time to talk about Thanagar, Hawkman’s home planet. And for this entry, we’re rockin’ the post-crisis depiction of Thanagar, which is a fascist utopia. You see, Thanagar started off as a slave colony for a more powerful alien empire until the Thanagarians rose up and won their freedom.

You’d think that centuries of oppression would lead a people to be more respectful of others but NOPE! They turned around and just started conquering and enslaving on their own. Not just that, but they started bringing their slaves back to Thanagar to serve as an underclass called the Downsiders. And let’s not forget this is a planet where the police (or Wingmen) literally float over everyone else’s head acting as judge, jury, and executioner. Oh, and they committed forces to the widespread Invasion of earth by the Dominators because Thanagar is a planet of jerks.
