“Prologue:”

In "Prologue:", two brothers, Hank and Don, are thrust into a crisis when they witness a bombing and follow the culprit into an abandoned building—only to be trapped by mobsters planning to assassinate Judge Hall. A mysterious, disembodied voice offers them power, granting Hank a fierce red-white hawk costume and Don a reluctant baby-blue dove outfit, each with the ability to act only when injustice strikes, their strength fading when not needed. With their new powers and a desperate mission to save their father, they race to escape and climb the hospital walls, their bond tested as they face the unknown. Written by Steve Ditko and Steve Skeates, with art and inks by Steve Ditko and lettering by Ray Holloway, this striking origin story features a cover by Michael Cho.

Hank spots "The man who threw the bomb!" The boys follow into an abandoned building, but are trapped. Mobsters plan to assassinate Judge Hall. Don wishes for super-strength, or power... A "strange, disembodied" voice offers the bickering boys power. Hank gets an angry red-white hawk costume. Don gets a baby-blue dove outfit, and doesn't want it! "Whenever injustice strikes" they need only call the names "Hawk" and "Dove", but the powers will fade when not needed. Smashing free, they run, swim, and climb the hospital walls to save their dad.
