As was the case with ThunderCats, there was also a SilverHawks comic book series published by Marvel Comics under the imprint Star Comics.

Plot

The series is set in the 29th century, in the fictional Limbo Galaxy.^[4] A bionic space enforcer called Commander Stargazer recruited the SilverHawks, heroes who are "partly metal, partly real", to fight the evil Mon*Star, an escaped alien crime boss who transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo's Moonstar. Joining Mon*Star in his villainy is an intergalactic mob consisting of Yes-Man, Buzz-Saw, Mumbo-Jumbo, Windhammer, Mo-Lec-U-Lar, Poker-Face, Hardware, and "the musical madness of" Melodia.

Quicksilver (formerly Jonathan Quick) leads the SilverHawks, with his metal bird companion Tally-Hawk at his side. Twins Emily and Will Hart became Steelheart and Steelwill, the SilverHawks's technician and strongman respectively. Country-singing Bluegrass piloted the team's ship, the Maraj. Rounding out the group is a youngster "from the planet of the mimes", named "The Copper Kidd" and usually called "Kidd" for short, a mathematical genius who speaks in whistles and computerized tones. The SilverHawks' bionic bodies are covered by a full-body close-fitting metal armor that only exposes the face and an arm, the armor is equipped with a retractile protective mask, retractable under-arm wings (except Bluegrass), thrusters on their heels, and laser-weapons in their shoulders.

Characters

Silverhawks

Main Silverhawks

Commander Stargazer (voiced by Bob McFadden) is a tough and grizzled police officer with bionic capabilities. Older than the other SilverHawks, he longs to return to Earth for either a vacation or for retirement. Stargazer chiefly serves as the SilverHawks "eyes and ears", keeping them apprised of their current situation. His armor covers the upper left portion of his head as well as his body, and his left eye has been replaced by a telescopic lens.
Quicksilver / Captain Jonathan Quick (voiced by Peter Newman) is the former head of Interplanetary Force H and the field leader of the SilverHawks. Known for his quick reflexes and thinking, Quicksilver is an accomplished tactician and athlete.
Bluegrass (voiced by Larry Kenney) is second-in-command of the SilverHawks and the chief pilot of the group as well as a cowboy at heart. Bluegrass is the only active SilverHawk who is incapable of flight. He uses his weapon/instrument (portrayed in the toyline as his weapon-bird with the name Sideman) and his lasso. Bluegrass has an interface with the Maraj's piloting system, which he has affectionately dubbed "Hot Licks".
Steelheart/Sergeant Emily Hart and Steelwill/Sergeant Will Hart (voiced by Maggie Wheeler and Bob McFadden) are fraternal twin siblings who had artificial hearts implanted during their transformation. Steelheart and Steelwill are the "gearheads" of the team. Due to an empathic bond, when one sibling feels something, the other feels it as well. Physically, they are the strongest members of the team.
The Copper Kidd (vocal effects provided by Pete Cannarozzi) is the youngest member of the SilverHawks and the only one not from Earth. A mathematical genius from the Planet of the Mimes, he "speaks" in tones and whistles. A natural acrobat, the Copper Kidd wields two razor-edged discs which he throws like a Frisbee.

Minor Silverhawks

Hotwing (voiced by Adolph Caesar in earlier episodes, Doug Preis in later episodes) is a magician and skilled illusionist who received his powers from a mystical energy force that chose him to fight against injustice. He has to recharge these powers every 14 years or else he will die.
Flashback (voiced by Peter Newman) is a time-traveling Silverhawk from the far future. When he meets the 'much older' Stargazer who tells him of the fateful day the SilverHawks died, Flashback travels back in time to save them.
Moon Stryker (voiced by Larry Kenney) is a turquoise Silverhawk who can propel himself through space by a powerful cyclone generated from propellers that emerge from his waist. He is cocky but an expert marksman.
Condor (voiced by Bob McFadden) - An old ally of Stargazer who left the SilverHawks to become a private investigator before the series, but eventually returned. He wields an energy whip and uses a jetpack in place of wings.

Action figures

The SilverHawks action figure collection based on the animated series was produced by Kenner and first released in 1987. LJN, the makers of the ThunderCats figures, originally were to produce the SilverHawks figures but decided to pass on the project at the last minute. Each figure was packaged with a companion bird and, similar to Kenner's Super Powers Collection toyline, had an action feature of some type. The second series of figures is harder to find than the first with Ultrasonic Quicksilver being the most difficult. The MonStar with Laser Lance, Copper Kidd with Laser Discs, and the Copper Racer vehicle were not produced but were shown in the 1988 Kenner toy catalog. The Hawk Haven Fortress was also never released, due to the high production costs it would incur. Many recurring characters were never made, including Yes-Man, Melodia and Poker-Face.

Weapon-birds

The weapon-birds are cyborg animal companions released with most of the action figures. While Tally-Hawk appeared in almost all of the episodes in the series, all other "weapon-birds" only appeared in a handful of episodes. In the episode "The Fighting Hawks", the weapon-birds for the Steel Twins were accidentally switched from the toy versions. The weapon-birds are listed below, with their toy partner's name in parentheses.

Tally-Hawk (Quicksilver)
Side Man (Bluegrass)
Rayzor (Steelheart)
Stronghold (Steelwill)
May-Day (Copper Kidd)
Sly-Bird (Stargazer)
Gyro (Hotwing)
Backlash (Flashback)
Tail-Spin (Moon Stryker)
Jet Stream (Condor)
Sky Shadow (Mon*Star) - a bat, rather than a bird
Prowler (Hardware) - a green flying dragon
Volt-Ure (Mo-Lec-U-Lar)
Shredator (Buzz-Saw)
Airshock (Mumbo-Jumbo)

In 2021, a new line of SilverHawks action figures were announced.^[12]

Several other pieces of SilverHawks merchandise were released in the 1980s, including a board game, puzzles, bed sheets, and a plastic pencil pouch with the main characters on one side. Pajamas were also produced, which included wing flaps under the arms to more resemble the characters.
