TALON
Talon started training with the Great Owl when he was 10 (1955) and first put on the Talon costume at age 12 (1957). He adventured with tGO for the next 5 years in Boston. The Great Owl disappeared when Talon was 17 (1962), the same year Talon appeared in Seattle as "Eagle Owl"! He had patrolled the city of Seattle for 3-4 monthes but then when the Great Owl disappeared he rushed back to Boston. Lost because he'd left tGO on bad terms and wasn't at his side when most needed Eagle Owl ended his career after only 3-4 monthes and neither were seen between 1962-65. Harlan scoured the city, then coast, and parts of the world but nothing...
Strobe was born in 1965 - Talon was 20. Talon left the limelight for the years between 62-65. In 1965 still unhappy about letting tGO down he returned to the streets of Boston as Talon, this time a little darker not talking to the press and having upgraded his wing-harness, equipment and skills.
In 1985 Talon when Strobe was in college Talon was 40 and after 20 years of working the East Coast, fighting crime, defending Boston - he tracked down leads that pointed to the West Coast. Over the next 21 years he worked up and down the west coast working out of "the Roost" (an airfield in Seattle) but always calling Boston home.
The basic idea is that he was an AWESOME sidekick back in the day (for "the Great Owl - heroic huntsman") with a bunch of great feats to help teammates. I'll write up the story later but my idea is that Talon (also themed on the hunter owl style) was very much like Robin (Grayson) to Batman. But it was in later life, when Harlan was in his late teen rebellion phase (actually taking the name "Eagle Owl" for a short time), when tragedy struck and his master was lost to the world. Believing it his fault he searched for years and continues to do so...
As time went on Harlan continued his training with some of his master's masters eventually using the little wealth left to him to stock the Roost, a small private airfield and the secret HQ of the Hunter Duo.
In his prime some primary heroes would have said his abilities may have outstretched his masters... But Talon never dealt with the lose. His mentor was still alive to him.
As time went on and other heroes came and went - Talon continued his lower profile seeking of truth and justice. Never one to look for the spotlight he was always cordial to the public but it was doing what is right that motivated him.
He's worked with teams and other heroes on occasion, and has maintained his master's contacts with police/gov officials. His work for justice is traditionally solitary but deep down he knows that he works best in support to more powerful heroes. What they will give in sheer super power Talon will give back in presistence and honor.
His most devistating attack is a sharp dive claw attack, striking from the air in surprise.
He's also got several detection and intimidating type abilities based on hunter owl type abilities.
In his non-heroic hours he runs the airfield for private and small commuter traffic. He also uses the facilities to continue upgrading the Wing Harness and his fighting skills.
