Darkhawk Annual #1, Assault on Armor City, Part 1

107 Sunday Night, [Darkhawk Annual #1, “Assault on Armor City, P1: Search”] – Darkhawk looks for leads on Savage Steel.

108 Monday Morning [Darkhawk Annual #1, “Assault on Armor City, P1: Search”] – Tony Stark is researching Savage Steel’s armor patent and in the meanwhile also sends a flying spy eye to research Darkhawk to find out if his armor is based on stolen Stark technology.

108 Monday Afternoon [Darkhawk Annual #1, “Assault on Armor City, P1: Search”] – Arthur Vale dons the Savage Steel armor—he is a mildly deranged man who failed at being a cop because he was too mentally unstable to be on the force. The Cabal made him the police van driver. He gets access to the suit and sets out to do the kind of cop work he believes in. Chris sees Iron Man and Savage Steel battling out his classroom window and excuses himself to join the fight. Iron Man turns on Darkhawk and keeps him busy while a scanning device analyses his armor.

Avengers West Coast Annual #7, Assault on Armor City, Part 2

108 Monday Afternoon [Avengers West Coast Annual #7, "Assault on Armor City, P2: Locate"] – Iron Man and Darkhawk contact Avengers West Coast headquarters and request support from Scarlet Witch and Spider-Woman; the rest are to defend Stark Enterprises. Iron Man and Darkhawk fly off to iniltrate the manufacturing plant of Professor Power and his Mek Men. Support arrives and Darkhawk teams with Scarlet Witch and Spider-Woman as frontal assault while Iron Man sneaks in to infiltrate computer system data and then save Jim Rhodes who is being beaten badly by Power’s henchmen. Although Darkhawk demonstrates great power, his inexperience fighting ends in Scarlet Witch and Spider-Woman saving him at two separate instances. Wonder Man, Living Lightning and Hawkeye defend Stark Enterprise from Raiders, Seekers and Hunter armored mercenaries.

Iron Man Annual #13, Assault on Armor City, Part 3

108 Monday Night [Iron Man Annual #13, "Assault on Armor City, P3: Destroy"] – Iron Man flies the team over the Pacific to assault an A.I.M. island stronghold. The assault team leads a frontal assault on the stronghold and Iron Man infiltrates the building to face Dewitt (guy who infected Tony Stark with a neural parasite) who remote controls warsuits ends up neurally overloading himself when he tries to control the whole bases arsenal. Not much is seen of Darkhawk this issue, not even the frontal assault offered much even visually.

Darkhawk Annual #1, The Cabal and Deadly Foes of Darkhawk

116 Tuesday Night [Darkhawk Annual #1, “The Cabal!”] – Jim Zafar breaks out Arthur Vale and Harry Lennox from The Tombs Prison. They get killed in a driveby.

117 Wednesday Day [Darkhawk Annual #1, “The Cabal!”] – Turns out the FBI faked the driveby during their escape so that The Cabal can get off their trail. They plan to testify against them and go on the witness relocation program afterwards. [Note: This has to happen after Mike Powell’s funeral because Jim Zafar is there which suggests this hasn’t happened yet. This also has to come after the Iron Man encounter with Savage Steel, which I just assume is what provoked Jim Zafar to stand against The Cabal in court.]

117 DAD Wednesday Afternoon, [Darkhawk Annual #1, “Deadly Foes of Darkhawk”] – Intern gig at RCK, a radio station while he reminisces on his enemies thus far. [Note: Mentions the Folding Circle which appeared in his teamup with the New Warriors, making this happen after those issues; does NOT mention the Peristrike Force which puts it before that event.]

- – = = * = = – -

118 DAD Thursday Morning – Peristrike Force is on the move towards Queens on a mission to capture a specialist in superhumans, Professor Vonya, who is speaking at Chris’s high school.

118 DAD Thursday Afternoon – Chris is playing basketball with friends and amulet hits one in the eye. Couch makes him remove it. Chris puts it in his locker for the time being. The Peristrike Force and agents set up for the assault and kidnapping mission on the school. Mrs Bauer stops Chris at the locker to remind him he’s got to cover the afternoon lecture for the high school station; Chris agrees but makes his way to the ball court first.

118 DAD Thursday Afternoon – School is out—lecture has begun. The Peristrike Force and agents move in and capture the Russian professor, Anatoly Vonya. Chris discovers the commotion and wants to help but doesn’t have the amulet. He uses his karate to subdue one of the guards on his way to his locker. He frantically tries to open his locker but can’t out of nerves. He gets captured by another guard at gun point who asks for him to open the locker and give him whatever he’s frantically trying to get.

118 DAD Thursday Afternoon [Darkhawk #17] – Chris is still nervous and can’t open the locker. The guard blasts it open and find a punny pocket knife… then the amulet. He thinks nothing of the amulet and throws it to the floor. He takes Chris at gun point to execute as an example. Chris karatees his way out of it again and races off to get the amulet, turn into Darkhawk and neutralize the agent. Darkhawk then takes on the Peristrike Force while the hostages escape. He defeats the Force but is neutralized by Psi-Wolf, a mind controlling Russian mutant leader of the Peristrike Force. [Note: Darkhawk makes a comedic exchange during the fight and mentions that he should stop “hanging out with Spedball so much” which suggests that the multi-part New Warrior’s arc happened before this event—that is why it is listed earlier.]

118 DAD Thursday Night [Darkhawk #18] – Darkhawk helps the Peristrike Force escape due to Psi-Wolf’s mind control. While in the escape chopper Darkhawk fights the mind control and falls out the open side. He can’t protect his fall, lands on a car, then turns into Chris and runs off to hide and think at home. Later in the night he sneaks off again to the airport to intercept the Force. He gets there and hijacks the airport food van as Chris. He smashed the mechanism that allows Psi-Wolf to mind control, changes back to Darkhawk when hidden and neutralizes the Peristrike Force. During the fight, Professor Vonya is frozen to death by Siberian.

118 DAD Thursday Night – Darkhawk flees when cops arrive and heads to the amusement park to ponder his purpose as Darkhawk since he let Vanya die while trying to save him.

AUGUST

143 DAD Monday Afternoon [Darkhawk #19] – Charles Little Sky has come for his old equipment and weapons that’s being protected and studies by Guardsman. Brotherhood of Evil Mutants want the portal technology that they believe is part of the Darkhawk armor. Darkhawk and Spider-man get involved to help Portal; Portal gets his gear back in the confusion and then helps Darkhawk and Spider-man out. Portal agrees to help Darkhawk learn more then all of them gets stopped by Sleepwalker who wants the armor as well. Mysterious ex-Darkhawk man has a voice in his head telling him to betray Chris Powell and capture him for the mysterious voice.

143 DAD Monday Night [Darkhawk #20] – Portal goes to see Thomas Fireheart, Puma, for help at his pent house. Guard catches him—part of the same tribe, Edgar Running Bear. Portal falls asleep. Spider-Man searches for a lead all night.

144 DAD Tuesday Morning – Darkhawk, Spider-Man and Sleepwalker get to Fireheart’s apartment; The pent house wall is blown open, Running Bear is dead and Portal is gone. Evil Mutants kidnapped and mind control Portal. He mistakenly takes them to Time Square during rush hour. Spider-Man, Darkhawk and Sleepwalker encounter them and have a brawl out. Spider-Man gets sent to another dimension, Sleepwalker chases the Evil Mutants and Portal through another gateway, Darkhawk is left cleaning up the mess Sauran started by trying to save a crowd of people from falling debris.

Sleepwalker #17 Appearance

144 DAD Tuesday Morning [Sleepwalker #17] – Darkhawk manages to get the debris out of harms way. Sleepwalker discovers Portal and the Evil Mutants’ location before Rick Sheridan wakes up, causing Sleepwalker to vanish. [Note: It is 7:00am when Rick wakes up; Chris has been at the radio station “since dawn” working on a “school project” when he gets called out for it being summer. This turns into a continuity issue here because in the Darkhawk issues there is evidence he’s still at school (playing basketball with a coach, being part of the radio club during the Peristrike Force attack). I’ve pushed this to the beginning of September so that perhaps Chris is “starting early”—like a week before school starts of something.]

144 DAD Tuesday Afternoon – Rick finds out from the Daily Bugle that Spider-Man, Darkhawk and Sleepwalker had a teamup the same morning in an “exclusive report”. He falls back asleep and Sleepwalker finds Darkhawk again and they team up to save Portal from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. They defeat the Brotherhood and Portal offers an IOU in return. Sleepwalker could have taken it to get back to the Dreamscape but instead uses it to get Spider-Man out of the Dark Dimension.

Beyond! Miniseries #3 Cameo

147 DAD Friday Morning – This entry exists on a VERY theoretical level since it was mentioned in a passing cameo appearance in the Beyond! miniseries. Essentially a team of heroes of this era get transported to an artificial planet called Battleworld by “The Beyonder”/The Stranger for unknown reasons. Eventually Deathlok sacrifices himself and stays behind so that the rest of the team–Captain Marvel, Wonder Man, Dracula, Terror Inc, Coldblood, Sleepwalker and Darkhawk (classic armor)–can be sent back home. They all have their memory wiped of the experience. I place it after the events that have Darkahwk and Sleepwalker team up because it fills in a major gap before the 2.0 armor upgrade occurs.
