The Copper Kidd (often misspelled Copper Kid[1]) is a mathematical genius of the SilverHawks.
History[]
He comes from the planet of the Mimes and speaks in tones and whistles. He is also the youngest of the SilverHawks. It is noted by Professor Ghemakain that its hard to say his civilian pre-Silverhawk name.[2] He seems to try the patience of Stargazer many times,[3] however he is also noted for being the one to beg Stargazer to stay, for which Stargazer smiled and said he'll be back.[4] He has a similar type of relationship with the rest of the crew. Kidd and Blueglass seem to share a particularly strong friendship, so much so that Blueglass often teaches him how to drive the Mirage. Quicksilver also is known to defend Copper Kidd's tardiness at times. His bird partner is Mayday.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Copper Kidd is a SilverHawk, a law enforcement officer who has undergone a cyborg enhancement process to withstand the effects of hyper space travel. This grants him enhanced physical abilities, such as strength, speed, and agility. In his case, this also includes a computerized voicebox enhabling him to better express himself to the other SilverHawks. He has a hawk like face mask that covers his face when flying or fighting. He has the standard lasers in the shoulders for combat, as well as the wings to glide with. He also has the foot based talons and jets. Uniquely, he also has two Razor-Edged Discs on his hips, which he uses like boomerangs during combat.
The Copper Kidd is a mathematical genius, and is also a tinkerer. He has come up with his own rocket skates among other things. He also has his own ride that he will use for solo missions. In additon to his mental abilities, he also has natural acrobatic abilities as well.
