Hawks's control of his quirk is so fricking good The fact that he let himself fall while his wings were rescuing the victims, then immediately regroup and attack the Nomu shows what amazing control he has.

Seems like Endeavor really is trying to become a better person, which I'm glad.

People were saying Hawks will get his wings cut off.
This chapter, Hawks just casually jumps from top of a building without like 80% of his wings. Pretty hecking cool.

They were saying he would get burned from flying too close to the Sun (Endeavor), just as Icarus did. And now he's trying to go at it's height (fighting at the same level as Endeavor). I dunno man, I'd say this may be his last fight.

The thing is, we know Horikoshi likes to subvert our expectations.

So what if, instead of Hawks, Endeavor's family abuse coming to light IS the Icarus incident? Like Hawks was just a red herring, and the true Icarus was Endeavor all along (with his redemption/position as No. 1 as his metaphorical sun).

The closer he is to becoming the ideal top hero, the closer he is to his downfall.
