Stephen Lawson (Earth-616)

Stephen Lawson, a.k.a. Dark Eagle, was a young infant given up for adoption shortly after his birth. He vowed to one day find his real parents. He was adopted by the Lawson family, and at the age of 20 he had finally found his father's location. He went to go meet his father, but realized his father was actually a notorious mob boss know as the Crime-Lord. Terrified by his father's villainy, Stephen decided to bring his father to justice. He designed his own costume, and began tracking down his father's associates. After taking them down one-by-one, Stephen realized his father still hadn't gotten the message. Stephen went after his father, but first had to go through "Muscle", a hit-man whom his father hired for protection. Stephen was easily beaten by the Muscle, so he took up intense martial arts training. Months later, he had gotten way better, and went after his father again, this time succeeding in defeating both villains. When the authorities asked him what his name was, he decided to use the name "Dark Eagle", and became a famous superhero. Later on, he became a founding member of the Avenging Ones, a new team made to replace the Avengers.
