Kyle Richmond was Nighthawk, the Squadron Supreme parallel to Batman (Justice League). Nighthawk was one of the most highly respected superheroes on Earth-712. In his true identitiy of Kyle Richmond he even served as the President of the United States. Nighthawk was the premiere strategist and hand-to-hand fighter of the Squadron. When the majority of the Squadron voted to take over the United States government and implement the Utopia Program in an effort to make life on Earth a veritable paradise, Nighthawk dissented and resigned because, philisophically he just couldn't accept the idea of the government/the Squadron usurping the free will of the people no matter how noble and honorable the intention. Nighthawk subsequently recruited and organized a superteam of his own to counter and confront the Squadron in an attempt to first stop them from doing more damage and second to undue any and all damage they had done. When Nighthawk's rebel team did indeed confront the Squadron, both sides incurred severe casualities and even fatalities. Nighthawk was one of those fatalities, dying moments after convincing Hyperion he had been wrong. Nighthawk's former teen sidekick has since taken on the identity and mantle of 'Nighthawk.'
The "Batman" of Marvel's JLA analogue, Squadron Supreme. Nighthawk has no powers in the Earth 31916 universe (JMS version). Like Batman, he uses his intellect, skills, training, and gadgets to fight crime. His massive fortune doesn't hurt either. Nighthawk is brutal in his crimefighting.
