When the original series of ‘The Hawk and The Dove’ appeared, circa 1968, the war in Vietnam made the conflicts between warlike Hank Hall and his peace-loving brother Don had different overtones. By the 80s, the “war vs. peace” morphed into an “order vs. chaos”, with overtones of the battle of the sexes as Dawn Granger took over for a deceased Don. Later stories replaced Hank with Dawn’s obnoxious, then killed them both, then resurrected them, leading us to today’s divisory query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is really torn on this one, as Hawk’s original design is not only red (my signature color) but is one of Ditko’s strongest late-60s designs, but Dove is always the character I identify with, asking: Hawk Or Dove?

Dove. Hawk is too much just another Wolverine or Hawkman.
