I assume quite a few of us have collected and read comics prior to the existence of Ultimate Universe. So confession time! Let's be honest, what comics are you embarassed to have collected or followed when you were younger?
Me? I bought a few issues of Darkhawk way back when he was still considered cool enough to be listed as a "Rookie" in Marvel trading cards. Yup, the very same Darkhawk/Chris Powell who is now a part of the Excelsior group from Runaways.
With a mystical amulet that Powell found in an abandoned amusement park, he could transform into an armor-clad avenger who could shoot darkforce bolts from his chest, glide with his Batman Beyond-style metal wings and use a cable claw to move from building to building.
Darkhawk wasn't patently lame, he was just kind of lacking in direction and characterization. He was often compared to Peter Parker in the sense that he was almost as young as Parker was when he got the Spider-Powers, but there was also a running subplot about his mother's boss Philippe Bazin, being a criminal minded businessman.

More confessions, anyone?
