Their meticulous attention to detail shines, through as they expertly replicated DC’s most challenging costumes.
As experienced cosplayers, Amy Nicole & Havok are all too aware that crafting wings can be a formidable challenge. These majestic appendages, while iconic and a fan favorite, are particularly daunting when it comes to emulating the grand scale of Hawkman’s and Hawkgirl’s wingspans.
Despite these significant hurdles, two talented cosplayers have remarkably overcome these challenges to deliver exceptional portrayals of Hawkgirl and Hawkman.

The challenge of a Hawkman and Hawkgirl cosplay isn’t solely about achieving a lifelike appearance; it also involves making sure their wings are practical, and durable for the cosplayer, requiring a delicate balance between form and function. Moreover, the intricate armor and weaponry associated with Shiera and Carter’s costumes only add to the complexity of the endeavor. At Dragon Con 2023, Amy Nicole and Havok, known professionally as Team Firestorm Cosplay, showcased their exceptional Hawkman and Hawkgirl costumes, leaving fans amazed. These cosplays are astonishingly realistic, capturing the essence of the characters perfectly, providing one of the most exciting, stand-out cosplays of the convention.
Amy Nicole, equipped with Shiera’s spiked mace and helm, embodies the formidable and otherworldly spirit of the Thanagarian warrior. Havok, in turn, makes an equally imposing figure, wielding Carter’s iconic battle mace and donning a helm that’s nothing short of awe-inspiring in its meticulous detail. Their precision in replicating the characters’ gear highlights their talent for crafting film-worthy armor and weaponry. However, the most impressive feat within their costumes might just be the notoriously challenging-to-recreate wings. The true standout feature of Amy Nicole & Havok Hawkgirl and Hawkman costumes undoubtedly has to be their wings. These winged marvels are not only impeccably crafted but also monumental in size.
Hawkgirl and Hawkman Are Underrated In Contemporary DC Comics
Team Firestorm Cosplay’s Dragon Con Look Proves DC Needs To Make More Live-Action Hawkman & Hawkgirl Content
With a combined wingspan of an astonishing 14 feet, creating wings of this magnitude is a remarkable accomplishment. What’s even more incredibly is the practicality of the wings’ design, intended to be wearable without excessive weight. The remarkable skill demonstrated in this feat is awe-inspiring and truly impressive, serving as a poignant reminder of the pressing need for a live-action Hawkgirl and Hawkman to make their cinematic presence felt. Cosplays like these strongly advocate for DC’s exploration of all Justice League members’ stories, going beyond the usual popular characters. They reflect the deep fan appreciation for characters like Hawkgirl and Hawkman, signaling a desire for more canonical content about these heroes.
Fortunately, DC seems to be answering the call, by featuring Hawkman in a prominent role in the Black Adam movie, and granting Hawkgirl her own limited series in Dawn of DC. This is an encouraging sign, indicating that less frequently spotlighted Justice League members like the winged duo are receiving the attention they deserve. Nevertheless, DC should still consider bringing Hawkgirl and Hawkman together on the big screen for their own adventures, allowing the characters to take flight in a whole new way, and in turn paving the way for even more exciting cosplays, perpetuating the wonderful creative cycles of comic book culture.
