In Ancient Egypt, Prince Khufu was locked in a blood feud with his rival Hath-set. Hath-set succeeded in capturing Khufu and his lover Chay-Ara and killed the both of them. Thousands of years later, Khufu was reincarnated as Carter Hall, who became an archaeologist. In a dream, Hall learns of his past and meets Shiera Sanders, his reincarnated lover. After finding archaic knife, Hall realizes that his rival Hat-set was reincarnated as a scientist named Anton Hastor.
Using pieces of Nth metal from the Egyptian digsite, Hall created a special belt that gave him the power of flight. He then crafted a costume and called himself Hawkman and confronted Hastor. Hawkman went on to become chairman of the Justice Society of America.
In 1951, following McCarthy and the "Joint Congressional Un-American Activities Committee," the Society are asked to reveal their identities. Hawkman and the others decided to retire. Nearly a decade later, Hawkman joined the Justice League of America.
