Warhawk

Warhawk (Rex Stewart) is a fictional character created for the DC Animated Universe, voiced by Peter Onorati.

In the ''Batman Beyond'' two-part episode "The Call", Warhawk is a member of Justice League Unlimited (the Justice League of the future) alongside Big Barda, Green Lantern (Kai-ro) and Aquagirl (Mareena). He was initially at odds with Batman (Terry McGinnis) because he had been recruited onto the team by Superman without the rest of the JLU's consent. But after Batman proved himself to be a competent and trustworthy member against Starro, Warhawk's attitude shifted from reluctant ally to devoted teammate. They would eventually become close comrades and colleagues.

In the animated series' related comics, Warhawk appeared in ''Batman Beyond'' issue #21 ("The Blackest Day - Part 1") when Batman teams up with the JLU in a high-voltage adventure as they battle new villain Blacklight.

Warhawk's next appearance was in ''Justice League Unlimited''. In the season one finale " The Once and Future Thing, Part II: Time Warped", Warhawk met the modern-day Green Lantern (John Stewart), the original Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Wonder Woman (Diana of Themiscyra) after three Justice League members had been sent into the ''Batman Beyond'' era by Chronos (David Clinton). At that time, he is a member of the remaining future JLU members alongside Static (Virgil Hawkins) and Batman II (Terry McGinnis). Warhawk later revealed that he is Rex Stewart, the son of John and Shayera Hol at the time his father was involved with Vixen after having broken up with his mother since the traumatic events of the previous finale. Regardless, John bonds with his future son, even saving him from death during the battle with the Jokerz. After the cyclical causality erased memories of the team-up from the future JLUers and Wonder Woman, only John and Batman retained knowledge of Warhawk's existence. Learning Warhawk's future existence made John suffer indecision between the two women. John decided to keep this information a secret from Shayera to which Batman agreed.

In the second season finale "Epilogue", Warhawk is still a member of the JLU that works alongside Batman (Terry), Green Lantern (Kai-ro) and Aquagirl (Mareena).

In the third season episode "Ancient History", John finally informs Shayera that she is to become the mother of his child. This information briefly gives Shayera an ecstatic feeling of hope. But despite still loving Shayera, John decides to stay with Vixen and "refuses to be destiny's puppet", preferring to let things work themselves out. After this, Shayera asks Batman to tell her what he knows about her son.

Other versions of Warhawk

In ''Justice League of America'' (vol. 2) #25, the trickster god Anansi creates an alternate version of the DC Comics universe with many altered heroes. One of these heroes is an alternate version of Hawk that wears a red version of Warhawk's costume.

Warhawk and Barda are converted by Brother Eye's forces and Micron is forced to escape. However, the Green Lantern Power Ring that Matt McGinnis was keeping leads him to a room containing Warhawk and the rest of the Justice League. Evil Factory member Abel Cuvier reveals that Brother Eye has the Justice League placed in stasis for potential future uses and implanted false memories and perceptions into Micron to shield the truth. Once they are freed, Warhawk and the Justice League are put under hypnosis and attack Tim, believing he is a Brother Eye cyborg. Warhawk and the Justice League are later freed from the mind-control.

Weasel

Weasel is the name of two DC Comics supervillains. Weasel first appeared in '' The Fury of Firestorm'' #35 (August 1985), and was created for DC Comics by Gerry Conway and Rafael Kayanan.

John Monroe

John Monroe was a lonely student at Stanford University in the late 1960s. His contemporaries rarely noticed him. If they did, they referred to him in derogatory terms, using words like "Weasel" to describe him. This made him bitter, driving him to become a murderer decades later. The grown John Monroe became a teacher at Vandemeer University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A number of his fellow students from Stanford University held prominent positions. To rationalize killing three of them, he considered them threats to getting tenure at Vandemeer. Taking on the costumed identity of Weasel, displaying great agility, expertise at hand-to-hand combat, and a costume with sharp claws, he stalked the campus grounds and brutally murdered Arnold Lintel, Linda Walters, and a night guard named Chuck Gherkin. When Martin Stein (one half of Firestorm) shows up for a job opening as a physics professor, Monroe made two attempts on Martin Stein's life. In the second attempt, he would have killed Martin had he not provoked the transformation of Stein into Firestorm. After a fight, Firestorm unmasked Weasel and sent him to jail.

Weasel was later recruited into the Suicide Squad for their ill-fated mission to rescue Hawk. During the mission, he tried to kill the Thinker by cutting Thinker's throat with his claws. Rick Flag Jr. took the Thinker's helmet to regain control over the mission. When he saw the Weasel, the Thinker's helmet told Flag to kill him. Weasel's death was not mourned.

During the ''Blackest Night'' storyline, Weasel's dead body was seen to be among those entombed in the Hall of Justice. When the Black Power Rings flew in, Weasel's body was among the dead bodies that were reanimated by the Black Power Rings and inducted into the Black Lantern Corps.

In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, a slightly revised Jack Monroe Weasel is re-established in the ''Forever Evil'' storyline, depicted in a more animalistic state. He was lurking in Central Park when Steve Trevor and Killer Frost were looking for Cheetah (who was in possession of Wonder Woman's lasso). Weasel ambushed Steve Trevor and Killer Frost where he was frozen by a reluctant Killer Frost. Killer Frost told Steve Trevor that Weasel is considered a joke compared to villains Black Bison and Multiplex. Before Steve Trevor and Killer Frost press on, Killer Frost apologizes to Weasel.

Future Weasel

In ''Batman'' #666 (July 2007), a special issue set 15 years in the future, a different Weasel is shown as an enemy of Damian Wayne, who has become Batman following the death of Dick Grayson. This future Weasel has canine-like teeth.
