Kyle Richmond was a thrill-seeking playboy who became the costumed adventurer Nighthawk. Starting out as a villain, Richmond soon found altruism a greater pursuit. As Nighthawk, he became mainstay of the Defenders, and has also acted alongside the Squadron Supreme, the Redeemers, the Thunderbolts and the Initiative.

* {{Sucksessor}}: The Nighthawk of [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme2015 Earth-31916]] thinks he's little more than DumbMuscle and unimpressed with the Kyle's mixed-bag adventuring history.
* SuperSerum: Sure he can't shoot lasers out of his eyes, but he's definitely not all that human. He was given an alchemical serum when he was recruited to Squadron Sinister and these permanently gave him low-tier superhuman strength, toughness and other attributes. And these abilities double in power at night.

A former soldier whom came into possession of a cape which made him Devil-Slayer, the demon hunter. Devil-Slayer served with the Defenders, and more recently, the Hawaiian Initiative team The Point Men and Wonder Man's anti-Avengers team.
