Warhawk (Rex Stewart) is a fictional character created for the DC Animated Universe, voiced by Peter Onorati. [1]
In the Batman Beyond two-part episode "The Call", Warhawk is a member of Justice League Unlimited (the Justice League of the future) alongside Big Barda, Green Lantern (Kai-Ro) and Aquagirl (Mareena). He was initially at odds with Batman (Terry McGinnis) because Superman recruited him into the team without the rest of the League's consent. But after Batman proved himself to be a competent and trustworthy member against Starro, Warhawk's attitude shifted from reluctant ally to devoted teammate. They would eventually become close comrades and colleagues.
Warhawk's next appearance was in Justice League Unlimited . In the season one finale "The Once and Future Thing, Part Two: Time Warped", Warhawk met the modern-day Green Lantern (John Stewart), the original Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Wonder Woman after Chronos sent them to the future. At that time, he is a member of the remaining future League members alongside Static (Virgil Hawkins) and Terry McGinnis. Warhawk later revealed that he is Rex Stewart, the son of John and Shayera Hol at the time his father was involved with Vixen after having broken up with his mother since the traumatic events of the episode "Starcrossed". Regardless, John bonds with his future son, even saving him from death during the battle with the Jokerz. After the cyclical causality erased memories of the team-up from the future League members and Wonder Woman, only John and Batman retained knowledge of Warhawk's existence. Learning Warhawk's future existence made John suffer indecision between the two women. John decided to keep this information a secret from Shayera to which Batman agreed.
Warhawk also appears in the second-season finale "Epilogue" as a member of the League.
In the third-season episode "Ancient History", John finally informs Shayera that she is to become the mother of his child. This information briefly gives Shayera an ecstatic feeling of hope. But despite still loving Shayera, John decides to stay with Vixen and "refuses to be destiny's puppet", preferring to let things work themselves out. After this, Shayera asks Batman to tell her what he knows about her son.
An alternate universe incarnation of Hawk inspired by Warhawk appears in Justice League of America (vol. 2) #25.
A group called the Warhawks appear in "The New 52" as Thanagar's military force. [2] [3] [4]

| Alter ego | John Monroe |
| Team affiliations | Suicide Squad |
| Abilities | Great agility Hand-to-hand combat |
John Monroe was a lonely student at Stanford University in the late 1960s. His contemporaries rarely noticed him. If they did, they referred to him in derogatory terms, using words like "Weasel" to describe him. This made him bitter, driving him to become a murderer decades later. The grown John Monroe became a teacher at Vandemeer University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A number of his fellow students from Stanford University held prominent positions. To rationalize killing three of them, he considered them threats to getting tenure at Vandemeer. Taking on the costumed identity of Weasel, displaying great agility, expertise at hand-to-hand combat, and a costume with sharp claws, he stalked the campus grounds and brutally murdered Arnold Lintel, Linda Walters, and a night guard named Chuck Gherkin. When Martin Stein (one half of Firestorm) shows up for a job opening as a physics professor, Monroe made two attempts on Stein's life. After a fight, Firestorm unmasked Weasel and sent him to jail. [11]
Weasel was later recruited into the Suicide Squad for their ill-fated mission to rescue Hawk. During the mission, he tried to kill the Thinker before being killed by Rick Flag Jr.. [12]
During the Blackest Night storyline, Weasel is temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern. [13]
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Jack Monroe / Weasel is re-established in the Forever Evil storyline, depicted in a more animalistic state. He was lurking in Central Park when Steve Trevor and Killer Frost were looking for Cheetah (who was in possession of Wonder Woman's lasso). Weasel ambushed Steve Trevor and Killer Frost where he was frozen by a reluctant Killer Frost. Killer Frost told Steve Trevor that Weasel is considered a joke compared to villains Black Bison and Multiplex. Before Steve Trevor and Killer Frost press on, Killer Frost apologizes to Weasel. [14]
In Batman #666 (July 2007), a special issue set 15 years in the future, a different Weasel is shown as an enemy of Damian Wayne, who has become Batman following Dick Grayson's death. [15]

In the Final Crisis tie-in Rogues' Revenge, Libra tasks the New Rogues with forcing the original Rogues to rejoin the Secret Society of Super Villains. Due in part to Weather Witch's inexperience with her Weather Wand, the Rogues defeat and kill the New Rogues, with Weather Wizard killing Weather Witch. [21]

The Weeper is the name of two comic book supervillains originally published by Fawcett Comics and today owned by DC Comics, both of whom are enemies of Bulletman and Bulletgirl. The original Weeper was Mortimer Gloom. The original Weeper first appeared in Master Comics #23 in February 1942. The arch-foe of Bulletman and Bulletgirl, the Weeper is capable of the most brutal of murders, but sheds tears for his victims; he hates to see people happy but feels bad after he hurts them. The Weeper wears a blue opera cape, a top hat, and carries a small walking stick and tear gas bombs. He also drives a hearse and is accompanied by his henchmen called the Bittermen. The second Weeper is his son.
Formerly known as the "Crying Clown" or "Weeping Willie," Mortimer Gloom is fired for dishonesty from his work as a circus performer. Sometime afterward, he commits several acts of revenge. He then takes on the name "the Weeper". The Weeper sends letters and visits a number of families telling them tragic news. He tells one family their son has died in the war. In another family, the father is fired from his job after years of dutiful service. In yet another family, he tells the husband his business has burned to the ground. Later, the families discover that the Weeper has lied to them. The Weeper tells these lies so he could either case the families' homes for robbery or they would lead him to where they hid their valuable possessions. The Weeper puts an ad in the paper looking for men who feel life has given them a raw deal. A lot of men reply to the ad. He interviews them all and picks ten of the saddest men. He calls them the Bittermen. The Weeper, along with the Bittermen, sets out to make the lives of other people very unhappy. They start by riding through a parade in a hearse and tossing tear gas into the crowd. This causes a stampede which kills a great many people. The Weeper drives through the street littered with dead bodies, weeping at that horrible tragedy. The Weeper and the Bittermen commit a series of ghastly acts which attracts the attention of Bulletman and Bulletgirl. He succeeds in capturing Bulletgirl. However, Bulletman is able to save her and the Weeper is apparently drowned. [25]
Sometime after being defeated by Bulletman and Bulletgirl, the Weeper returns and looks to gather his Bittermen back together. One of them refuses, saying he makes enough money now to choke a horse and he is very happy. The Weeper replies saying he hates to hear that people are happy. The next day, the man is found dead after having choked on his wad of money. The Weeper then shows his other Bittermen the newspaper account of what has happened. Fearing for their lives, they join his group again. The Weeper is later betrayed by one of them where he told Bulletman and Bulletgirl what happened.
The Weeper is a founding member of the Revenge Syndicate, which was founded by the Murder Prophet and joined by the Weeper and the Black Rat. At first, they are at odds with each one wanting to be the chief of the group. The Weeper comes up with the idea that they roll dice to see who would be chief; the person with the highest roll would go first, the person with the second highest would go second, and the person with the third highest would go last. The Murder Prophet wins the first roll. His plan is to rob an art museum by pretending to be a visitor, with the aid of the Black Rat emerging from the sewer with a machine gun. Bulletman and Bulletgirl stop them, but they escape. The Weeper goes second. His plan is for the Murder Prophet to pretend to be a psychic at a carnival after kidnapping the real psychic. The Murder Prophet tells a rich woman to move her money so it will not be stolen. They are going to steal the money while it is being moved. Bulletman and Bulletgirl stop them after realizing their plot. They lift the car the villains are in and throw it into a lake. The Black Rat is thrown in also and saves the Murder Prophet and the Weeper. The three realize that Bulletman has always thwarted their plans and they need to eliminate him if they ever want to succeed. The Black Rat meets several criminals who agree to pay $100,000 if he gets rid of Bulletman. The Black Rat goes third. His plan is to send out a radio broadcast to lure Bulletman to an abandoned shack. They set up a dummy of the Black Rat. Bulletman and Bulletgirl go inside the shack. The Revenge Syndicate goes inside and beats up Bulletman. To their surprise, Bulletman has set up a dummy of his own. Bulletman and Bulletgirl beat them up and a fire is started when the radio is broken. [26]
The Weeper returns a few months later on Thanksgiving Day and is captured by Bulletman, Bulletgirl, and their new ally Bulletdog. [27] Weeper eventually died between 1942 and 1946.
At some point between 1942 and 1946, the Weeper dies and is replaced by his son, the second Weeper. In 1946, Bulletgirl and her friend Mary Marvel fight the second Weeper and Dr. Riddle. The second Weeper says, "My father, the true Weeper, is dead -- Sob! But I am carrying on with his name!" They first try to hang Bulletgirl in her civilian identity of Susan Kent after surprising her and pulling her up with a noose and the Weeper tries to stab her also, but Mary Marvel stops them, as she was with Susan when the villains attacked. The villains escape while Mary frees Susan from the noose and she changes to Bulletgirl; however, a riddle left behind allows the two to track the villains to an abandoned asylum on the outskirts of town. The Weeper saw Bulletgirl outside, but Riddle said that was part of his plan. First the Weeper went into another room with a straitjacket while Riddle waited for Bulletgirl. Bulletgirl knocked Riddle over, not noticing the Weeper moving towards her. The Weeper placed the straitjacket on her from behind just after she decided to look for him. Then with Riddle's help, she was tied to a chair and gagged. The two villains then tell Bulletgirl they know that Mary is here also. Mary was lured in when she decided to look for Bulletgirl and stopped from speaking with a hose. While binding and gagging her, the Weeper talked about how he wept for Mary. The two villains carried the two heroines into a cell which they made airtight and left. Bulletgirl was able to remove Mary's gag with her helmet, allowing her to transform into Mary Marvel, free Bulletgirl, and break open a cell wall. The two superheroines found a riddle in the asylum and deciphered it, showing the duo were planning to rob a plane carrying gold bullion, and one of them would wait on the ground as the gold would be dropped. Mary Marvel flies after the plane after Riddle has knocked out the two pilots. Dr. Riddle is able to escape from the plane by parachute as Mary saves the plane, and knock out Bulletgirl by landing on her just as she has met Weeper II, but Mary Marvel then captures him and Bulletgirl gets the Weeper. They are then jailed. [28]
The second Weeper teams up with Joker of Earth-Two, Doctor Light of Earth-One, and Shade of Earth-One during King Kull's plan to wipe out humanity on three Earths. Members of Earth-One's Justice League and Earth-Two's Justice Society of America travel to Earth-S and meet Shazam's Squadron of Justice—Bulletman and Bulletgirl, Mister Scarlet and Pinky the Whiz Kid, Ibis the Invincible, and the Spy Smasher. The Joker teaches the Weeper his style of committing crimes on Earth-S, stealing jewels and transforming people into different materials, with his trademark grin, although the Weeper cannot understand why the Joker laughs about crime. They are stopped by the Earth-Two Batman, the Earth-Two Robin, Mister Scarlet and Pinky, who follow a trail left by jewels on the pavement. Robin is unaffected by the Weeper's tear gas because he is wearing contact lenses and the villains are imprisoned. [29]
