Years ago I wrote an origin for the Earth I Blackhawks which I am sad to say could not have happened given the tale I just read in Blackhawk Vol 1 #198 July 1964. I can change elements of it to make it so it occurs on Earth II, or it could be an Elseworlds Tale.

This is why I have been taking he time to read DC comics from 1935 before I write again in our collective universe. I must admit I feel bummed about this as I really was proud of most of that Story.

Actually, Dave, comics historians discount that origin story as taking place FAR too late (June, 1944), even for the Earth-1 Blackhawks, especially since the 1980s series showed that they had already formed by 1940.

I've accounted for it as the origin story of an alternate team of "Black Hawks" on Earth-X created by Blackwolf, though. It certainly cannot be the official Earth-1 Blackhawk origin story, as the team was known to be active long before D-Day.
