Hotwing is the gold colored SilverHawk introduced in episode "Hotwing Hits Limbo". His fighting hawk is Gyro, which can also perform the spin laser attack like Hotwing. He is the first of the new SilverHawks to join the SilverHawks stationed in the Limbo Galaxy. He was followed by Flashback, Moon Stryker, and Condor.

History[]

He was a magician before joining the SilverHawks. He was commissioned to join Stargazer's SilverHawks crew as the station was short handed and Mon*Star had captured the five core members.

He is a Squadron Leader in Rank. Not much is known about Hotwing's history, but he is an invaluable asset to the SilverHawks. He is a magician and showman, both in terms of personality and ability. His ears imply that he is not human.

Physical Description[]

He has a golden yellow colored SilverHawk suit. Notably more orange tint gold than Stargazer. He looks overall like the standard SilverHawk, except for the flame detail on his arm and leg, flesh upper leg which is exclusive to him, and his jets on his forehead he uses to perform magic tricks. Him along with Stargazer are bald headed.

Powers and Abilities[]

Hotwing is the magician SilverHawk with magical abilities that he has thanks to the power of the Magical Orb.[1] His source of power has to be replenished every fourteen years or he can't continue any longer. He has many magical abilities including levitation of objects and picking locks which he does through a laser that comes from a jet on his forehead. He also has a spinning action that fires lasers randomly. He also was able to change directions of other lasers including Mon*Star's Light-Star[2] and the Artificial Sun sunlight focused as a laser.[3] At one point he had been shown to have mind control over Sideman.[4] He also can make objects like flowers and a hat appear and be used in combat. He also was shown to have a ability to make a glass-like square wall that he used in combat to stop the Ice gun. He can also use his laser to shot a object to deconstruct it or bind it to his will. Another ability he has shown is he is a contortionist,[5] though its not completely clear if it is a natural ability or magic related. His magic laser can also start fires.[6] He also used a magic gold bouncing balls to get to the Sprinthawk to fly it to Hotwing to make his escape from Brim*Star.[7] Another interesting trick he can do is find items with his mind and laser.[8]

His suit is built with much the same abilities as other SilverHawks. Such abilities being: shoulder jets, upper arm jets, heel jets, talons, appearing visor face cover, and wings.
