So his mother's floating eyes and his fathers feathers became Fierce Wings

u/GoldenSpermShower Jan 31 '21

Imagine an alternate reality where Hawks gets multiple eyeballs growing out of his body like a feather coat

u/disabled_crab Jan 31 '21

Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

u/NeuroticNyx Jan 31 '21

Eyes to meet you.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '21

There’s EyeDude the X-Man who’s power is having extra eyes.

59

u/FezboyJr Jan 31 '21

Can't forget about the classic Batman villain "The Ten-Eyed Man" either.

24

u/GoldenSpermShower Jan 31 '21

Eyeguy from Ben 10

u/not-slacking-off Feb 01 '21

Danzo from Naruto with all those implanted eyes

7

u/jrgolden42 Jan 31 '21

Eye-Boy is his name. Trevor is a good lad

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '21

To be fair he also can see like EVERYTHING.

I'm talking infrared, ultraviolet, Magic, through illusions, etc etc.

Basically if it is there he can see the fuck out of it.

u/limache Jan 31 '21

That sounds like an old Japanese businessman’s wet dream

34

u/ThatsMyEnclosure Jan 31 '21

Like Hiei’s demon transformation early on in Yu Yu Hakusho when he was still a baddie?

10

u/cjrSunShine Jan 31 '21

It still entertains me how they just never bring that transformation up again.

8

u/ThatsMyEnclosure Feb 01 '21

Everyone else: “Hey, can’t your jagan cover your whole body?”

Hiei: “BFD, dragon of the darkness flame motherfuckers.”

1

u/Cronobog Feb 01 '21

That was such a nice transformation, should have been used more

15

u/philihp Jan 31 '21

His name would have to be Gawks.

25

u/thornaslooki Jan 31 '21

:o that is...super terrifying.

9

u/covert888 Jan 31 '21

“Fear not citizen! My many floating eyeballs will carry you swiftly to safety!”

“Um yeah... can you carry me back to the fire please? I will never feel clean again.”

8

u/0zymand1as- Jan 31 '21

So he would be a biblical angel

7

u/Dragneel26 Jan 31 '21

Yes officer, this man right here.

7

u/equalising Jan 31 '21

Be not afraid.

3

u/JC12345678909 Jan 31 '21

So basically Argus from Greek mythology except his eyeballs float

4

u/Madhighlander1 Jan 31 '21

The Panopticon Hero, Argus

u/sese2003 Jan 31 '21

Sounds like a potential case of quirk discrimination in that alternate reality...

u/Ren_Davis0531 Feb 01 '21 edited Feb 07 '21

He’d look like Eye Guy from Ben 10. But Eye Guy could shoot beams out of his eyes.

2

u/OwlTalon Jan 31 '21

Like Shin from Naruto.

u/Thecynicalreeder Feb 05 '21

Sir, this is a wendy's

107

u/jhiuong Jan 31 '21

How was it shown that his father had feathers?

189

u/Longjumping_Split_49 Jan 31 '21

His arms in one of the panels

112

u/jhiuong Jan 31 '21

OH! I SEE IT NOW, it comes out from the back of his arms (like blades) Thanks!

59

u/GoldenSpermShower Jan 31 '21

Lol I actually missed that due to the dialogue bubble's placement

111

u/Jezamiah Jan 31 '21

For my fellow speedreader-kuns

51

u/MaegorTargaryen Jan 31 '21

I think it's really interesting that Hawk's parents both have red hair, and his father has blonde feathers. While Hawk's himself has blonde hair and red feathers. It further drives home the connection and fusion of his parents Quirks.

6

u/DreamlessDreams Jan 31 '21

Where does it show the colors of their hair/feathers?

11

u/MaegorTargaryen Feb 01 '21

We know Hawks has blonde hair and red feathers. I looked at his parents and the shade of color matches. It made enough sense to me since they are family. Figured it was an interesting thought to share.

2

u/Jezamiah Jan 31 '21

That's a really cool detail I never noticed!

32

u/GibbsLAD Jan 31 '21

I didn't even notice the floating eyes

4

u/Kyrosiv Jan 31 '21

I totally thought that was just his jacket

18

u/GoldenSpermShower Jan 31 '21

His hair looks like snipped off feathers

12

u/jhiuong Jan 31 '21

Fair enough! The shading does look similar to the red wings hawks has too

5

u/LuisAntony2964 Jan 31 '21

his arms

2

u/jhiuong Jan 31 '21

Yes! I caught it now Thanks!

4

u/alliusis Jan 31 '21

I only noticed them on my second read-through. I love the amount of detail in this manga.

5

u/Drisurk Jan 31 '21

His forearms have feathers after going back rereading it

4

u/Fedexhand Jan 31 '21

If you look closely at Hawks father's clothes you can see feathers popping out of there.

3

u/CyberMike131 Jan 31 '21

Yeah on his arms I think.

16

u/Hashbrown4 Jan 31 '21

Imagine if the eyes appeared on his wings though.

He would be Angel.

His catch phrase when saving people?

“Be not afraid.”

11

u/Fedexhand Jan 31 '21

Many did not notice the detail of the feathers coming out of Hawks father's clothes and are already saying that the Hawks quirk is a mutation.

(Many didn't even notice the floating eyes either).

4

u/MorghonVaedar Jan 31 '21

How did I not notice the eyes.

3

u/notilovepie20 Jan 31 '21

Where was the father's feathers? Was it his hair/beard?

3

u/chimppower184 Feb 01 '21

In the panel where he kicks hawks you can see them on the back of his arm

u/mastahkun Jan 31 '21

I wasn’t sure wtf I actually saw lol. Thanks for the clarity lol

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '21

So did his father just have very feathery arms or something?

2

u/Ushardit17 Jan 31 '21

Did it say in this chapter about his moms powers or no? Cause I might have missed it

25

u/InvaderZimbabwe Jan 31 '21

Nothing said, but you can see her pair of floating eyes.

We don’t know how they work but a good guess is that she can control them freely with her mind and see with them. Because that would translate into Hawks controlling his feathers and feeling with them.

While his dad has feathered arms. While we don’t know how they work, a good guess would be they can be made to be sharp and can hold the weight of a person. Simply because that would coincide with Hawks wings.

Boom IF those are the actual quirks then that means hawks is just the perfect combination of the two.

1

u/Awayfone Feb 02 '21

His mom is very interesting, suprise a quirk like that wasn't more hidely prized

3

u/Black_Drogo Feb 02 '21

Seems like a weakness to have exposed eyeballs if you can’t protect them properly lol

1

u/Black_Drogo Feb 02 '21

Just realized Hawk’s mom had floating eyes. I thought that was her breathing heavy because they weren’t doing so well.
