mission on Thanagar

Reaching Thanagar Prime, Kendra met there Shayera Thal, another incarnation of Chay-Ara. This confused her, as this charwoman and herself should have been the same person, but lived as two classify beings. still, they asked Shayera for information about what they wanted to know, but the empress of the Thanagarian empire told them she could not help them. But due to the fact they were character of the Justice League, the Thanagarians offered them cordial reception for a festival which was going to be celebrated in the night. As they decided to stay, Kendra convinced her comrades to push through, as she intelligibly felt her counterpart, Shayera, was lying. During the festival, Kendra offered J’onn to dance, so that they might observe what the soldiers were doing while unnoticed. The martian looked happy to dance, but then flinched after remembering dancing with his long bemused wife. Seeing what was happening, Shayera addressed Kendra, which brought to a direct confrontation between the two : touch Shayera, Kendra saw that the empress clearly lied to them, as the Keep, the martian elder J’onn wanted to meet, was alive and imprison, and not all in as Shayera sustained. Understanding that the League know of her lies, Shayera tried to kill them, but they were able to escape and hide.

After developing a design to infiltrate Thanagar Prime ‘s vault, where the Keep was held, Kendra fight against Shayera while J’onn learned the accuracy about his destiny and Perpetua. Shayera then explained to them that what they were doing, trying to discover the meaning of their lives and powers, could be the key to unlock a brawny secret and a awful fortune for the entire Multiverse, and that ‘s why she acted to stop them. After this, Starman and the other Leaguers teleported to Thanagar Prime, and Payton explained why Kendra and Shayera were separated : it was because of Perpetua herself, who did not want Hawkgirl to awaken and discover her truthful exponent, the one of the Cosmic Raptor. Giving back the world power of the Raptor to Kendra, Starman explained her that the Raptor was the one who built the Source Wall, Perpetua ‘s prison .

Sixth Dimension and Justice/Doom War

back from Thanagar, the League discovered that on Kendra ‘s wings was engraved a map for the Sixth Dimension and, with the help of Mr. Mxyzptlk, they were able to travel there. once inside this dimension, they found out they were part of an utopian future where Justice won, and reigned supreme. There, Kendra and J’onn were married, and had a son in concert named Shayne. This embarrassed them, but besides made both of them think about their kinship and function in the conflict against Perpetua. Bonding with their future son Shayne, Kendra and J’onn discovered this worldly concern was not a future, but an entire new Multiverse remake by the World Forger. The Forger ‘s design was to overwrite the current Multiverse with this one, so that Doom would disappear and maybe the Hands of the Source would let it live, after their judgment. But Shayne showed Kendra that this was a Multiverse without freedom, as anyone who wanted to side against Justice was either imprisoned or killed. As the Forger revealed himself, Batman accepted to follow his design while the other Leaguers did not : they were all sent to a maxi-prison while Bruce and Alpheus worked towards the overwrite of reality. While there, they were helped by Shayne and the Legion of Doom, and in the end, with Batman revealing he was double dally, they were able to defeat the forger, and convert him to come back with them as active voice member of the roll. back on earth, the League discovered Luthor was inches away from awakening Perpetua. As J’onn started to hunt Luthor down, Kendra tried to stop him, and then rescued him when he was ambushed by Ivo and his Amazo constructs. Kendra was then put asleep by the Martian ‘s powers, who accepted to meet Lex Luthor entirely for a final confrontation. Waking up, Kendra had to witness to Lex absorbing J’onn ‘s entre body unto himself, becoming the Apex Predator, without the possibility of acting. Swearing to Lex she would get revenge for what he did, Kendra got rear to the Hall of Justice, as Luthor promised J’onn to not hurt Kendra. back with the League, Kendra was tasked with a critical function in Starman ‘s plan to defeat Perpetua : as the three sons of the evil goddess united to form the Ultra-Monitor, and the remainder of the League completed their mission of creating a Justice Totality, Kendra would have used her Cosmic Raptor powers to seal Perpetua once again. Reaching the edge of the Multiverse for the concluding battle, Kendra failed in her task, as her bloodlust and hope of retaliation towards Lex distracted her, allowing Perpetua to corrupt the Anti-Monitor and kill Starman. As most Leaguers were transported bet on to the Hall, Kendra and Shayne remained trapped in space, with Hawkgirl badly damaged by Luthor ‘s attacks. soon after, Perpetua sent the Anti-Monitor to kill Kendra, but thanks to the treatment of John Stewart, and Shayne ‘s connection with the Sixth Dimension, they were able not lone to defeat him, but besides to separate him from his brothers, who were trapped inwardly due to the actions of Perpetua. Getting back to ground with John and Shayne, Kendra took separate on the last conflict between Justice and Doom, and witnessed Shayne ‘s sacrifice to make the martian Manhunter come spinal column. still, they were not able to win, and Perpetua moved to kill all the core members of the League : saved by the Quintessence, Kendra and the others embarked on a quest to gather Anti-Crisis energy and frustration Perpetua once and for all, but again failed in their undertaking. Coming back to Earth, they found it transformed into the Metalverse, the crazed universe of Perpetua ‘s raw right pass, the Batman who Laughs .
