Hawkman

Hawkman, cursed from his first life as Ktar Deathbringer who committed genocides on planets like Krypton and Rann, is doomed to reincarnate across time, space, and universes until he saves more lives than he took. Key incarnations include Katar Hol, a Thanagarian royal who bonded with Nth metal and fled to Earth as archaeologist Carter Hall; Carter Hall, WWII hero and Justice Society founder; Catar-Ol, a Kryptonian teacher of Supergirl who built weapons against invaders; Sky Tyrant, a twisted Earth-3 villain briefly controlling the body to kill more; and the Dragon of Barbatos, a corrupted guardian who betrayed his master. He serves as a hero and protector in each life.
