Kickin Hawk is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from an unknown planet.
Appearance
Kickin Hawk resembles a combination of a rooster and a hawk. He has sharp claws on his toes and talons on his hands, as well as two larger talons protruding from his arms. He has a short beak. Kickin Hawk is covered in brown feathers and also has a white mohawk.
Kickin Hawk wears a green mask, a green belt with a white stripe, and black underwear. Kickin Hawk wears a strap vest with the Omnitrix symbol on the vest hooker.
Powers and Abilities
Kickin Hawk can retract talons from his fingers, and scythe-like blades from his elbows. He can cut objects by using the sharp blades on his arms.
Kickin Hawk has enhanced strength, durability, agility and reflexes.
Kickin Hawk can generate powerful shockwave-like kicks which sends his enemies flying. He is able to kick an object with enough force equivalent to a cannonball, (for example, he destroyed Pakmar's lamp shop with a soccer ball).
Kickin Hawk is capable of withstanding the vacuum of space, but he still needs to breathe to survive. Without an oxygen-supply, Kickin Hawk is limited to holding his breath.
Kickin Hawk's legs have surprising flexibility as he is able to reach out and grab objects much like an arm. This gives him an edge in close-quarters combat.
Kickin Hawk can run very quickly, as seen in Collect This.
Weaknesses
Kickin Hawk's three-claws and talons are able to work simple movements such as grabbing, holding and pulling the trigger of a blaster, but they are not suited for fine-manipulation, as he was unable to work a cellphone.
