I love Thor's winged helmet, and clearly, despite living in an alternate reality, so does DC's "Darkwing". Unfortunately he doesn't know the same high level of dwarven craftsman the God of Thunder does:
Somewhere a roll of flat sheet metal is missing two wing-shaped cut-outs. My favorite part of the homage, however, is the metal clamp holding the cut-outs onto his noggin. Because nothing says "Scary Super Villain" like headgear you attach with a screwdriver. Apparently Thor isn't too pleased either:
At a certain point, inspiration turns into desperation, and I think Mr. Darkwing passed it a long, long ways back. It's not just the pathetic flat Thor-wannabe helmet wings, or the doughy ill-fitting Superman underwear knocoffs, it's the fact that even though his foe is Hawkman, he stole Hawkman's logo!
Granted, he reversed it left-to-right, but come on, pal, it's like you're not even trying. If I were Hawman, I'd hit him again. Because as bad as a Thanagarian thief is, a Thanagarian fashion thief is even worse.

Wait, wings? Those things put me in mind of metal moose antlers.
well its either villain or weirdo that has too much time on his hands
It could be worse… Imagine his foe was Batman… Now imagine Darkwing saying those were supposed to be bat wings AND he tried reversing Batman’s logo.. THAT would be messed up
That’s funny, because a reversed Batman logo would just be the Bat logo… It would have to be upside down to be any different, but I definitely wouldn’t wanna be the baddie who did such a thing to Batman’s emblem. Another point of note: Hawkman’s winged helm predates even Thor’s by years.
Darkwing? Is he “the terror that flaps in the night?”
No…… I’m pretty sure that the terror that flaps in the night is something definitely NOT PG-13…. Therefore it’s unmentionable in this blog. 😉 😀
