The below covers what I believe is the best “linear continuity” between all of Darkhawk’s appearances, either in his own titles, team titles, or appearances. It still does not include minor appearances and cameos in titles such as issues dealing with the Infinity Wars/Crusade or Avenger titles. They will be added when I track down all these issues and read through them to mark their place within the Comprehensive Timeline page.

You can entertain yourselves further by digging into the notes I’ve taken to come to some of these continuity choices on the Timeline Page. I go a step further there to try and age Chris Powell based on the timeline presented in his books and appearances–again as best as possible–comic continuity is never something ruled by logic. Enjoy!
