But Hawkman was the first winged superhero, right? He seems qualitatively different from the Gordon Hawkmen, if only due to his solo-ness and civilian ID. So Raven wouldn't be a direct lift from Gordon but from Hawkman albeit by way of the more relatively remote Gordon "ancestry"? (sorry)

Not trying to split hairs, but if superheroes are a subgenre of SF. And thanks for the Raymond remind!

Another question, Were there any other winged Marvel heroes between Red Raven and Angel.
Not to my recollection, VF.
