- Shayera Hol in the 1961 Brave and Bold
By Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert
Shayera was Shayera Thal before she married Katar Hol.
- In 1989 Hawkworld was published. Although intended to be a Pre Sequel, it changed Thanagar from a Utopia to a Warlike Planet Controlled by an Elite.
From then on there was only Shayera Thal
Depending on the writer, this Shayera could be anything from a Cop to Empress of the Thanagar Empire.
(But not barista. That’s CW Kendra’s Job)
Since Thanagarians are very longed lived, with their appearance unchanging in decades, there may be two Shayeras, as in Hawkworld, an Elite and an Orphan born in the Underclass, that explains their various roles
Since in a Elite Society, it would be improbable for an Elite female to deign to be a cop
Or for a Cop to become a Princess or Empress
And one from the lower class, eventually struggling to get a job as a cop.
(Or just blame Flashpoint, New 52, or Dr Manhattan)
- Carter calls his wife Sheira at the End of Blackest Night.
In Brighest Day and the 2018 Hawkman Title,
Shiera Sanders Hall is Hawkgirl
Besides those two titles
Her 1940 origins in Flash 1
And alternate Shiera Sanders in DC Bombshells and her relationship with African Queen Vixen in the 1940s
Will be covered
