Chris Powell

Chris Powell is the teenage alter ego of Darkhawk, a hero who discovered a mysterious amulet that allows him to switch his body with a powerful android warrior — granting him flight, enhanced strength, and a devastating energy blast from his chest gem.

Few characters capture the spirit of Marvel's early '90s Copper Age quite like Chris Powell, who made his debut in Marvel Age #97 in 1991 and has been part of the Marvel Universe ever since. Sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Captain America, Carol Danvers, and Brawn across titles including The New Warriors, Imperial Guardians, and Avengers, Chris has proven himself a figure of genuine staying power — still appearing in stories as recently as 2026. With over three decades of history and at least one collector-recognized key issue to his name, this is a character whose journey through Marvel's modern era rewards any fan willing to dig in.
