Flash Comics #11*
Hopefully for our damsel in distress, Hawkman has more weapons with which to fight the angry giant gorilla than just a rock and sling shot! And indeed he does. As it turns out the slingshot is just one of many ancient armaments from a vast collection that Hawkman, aka Carter Hall, can call upon. In addition, he possesses a winged harness made of the “Ninth Metal,” which contains anti-gravity properties enabling flight.
Carter Hall was reincarnated from an ancient Egyptian Prince, Khufu. He also envisioned a woman named Shiera, with whom he subsequently met in modern times as Shiera Sanders. It turned out she also had a vision about him, and soon started wearing a female version of the superhero costume as Hawkgirl. Carter and Shiera were finally married eleven years later in 1951.
