Lieutenant Henri Doucette

Lieutenant Henri Doucette is a law-enforcement officer operating in the gritty, street-level world surrounding Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders, serving as a supporting figure on the procedural side of her adventures in Thanagar-era Gotham.

A supporting player rooted in the gritty procedural side of DC's Modern Age, Lieutenant Henri Doucette made his debut in Hawkgirl #51 (2006), brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Walter Simonson and Howard Chaykin. He inhabits the law-enforcement world that runs alongside the winged adventures of Kendra Saunders, sharing the page with detectives and shadowy figures like Kristopher Roderic and Khimaera. With only a handful of appearances, Doucette is one of those quietly essential background characters who give a superhero's world its texture and grounded humanity — a small but genuine piece of a beloved era in DC history.
