Black Condor

Soaring into DC's Modern Age with a 2008 debut in the high-stakes Countdown to Final Crisis, Black Condor is a rare and intriguing figure whose brief but notable appearances place them squarely in compelling company — sharing pages with the likes of Raymond Terrill, Joan Dale, and Miss America across Freedom Fighters and beyond. With a creative pedigree that includes Paul Dini, Keith Giffen, and Adam Beechen behind that first appearance, this is a character who arrived with serious talent in their corner. Three catalog appearances make Black Condor something of a hidden gem — the kind of discovery that rewards the dedicated reader digging into DC's rich tapestry of the late 2000s.
