Think about that for a second. At 22, most of us are still figuring out how to do laundry without ruining everything. Hawks is out here leading missions and saving cities. He became a Pro Hero at 18. That’s legal drinking age in some countries, but for him? It was just “time to fly.”
His birthday is December 28th. Yes, he’s a Capricorn. That explains the workaholic energy and the constant “I’m fine” attitude when he’s clearly not. Seriously, guy runs on coffee and pure sarcasm.
If you check the timeline, Hawks is younger than most of Class 1-A. Wait, what? Yep. Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki are all 16. Hawks is only six years older than them. He’s basically their cool older brother who never shows up to family dinners.
Why Does Age Even Matter?
You might be thinking: “Who cares how old he is?” Great question. The answer is everything. His age makes his story way more tragic. He was recruited by the Hero Public Safety Commission as a child. No normal childhood. Just training, missions, and feathers. By 22, he’s seen more trauma than a soap opera marathon.

Also, it explains his personality. He’s young, so he’s cocky. He jokes around because he’s still figuring out who he is. Ever wonder why he flirts with everyone? He’s a 22-year-old dude who never had a real social life. He’s making up for lost time, one awkward compliment at a time.
Let’s get weird for a second. Hawks is 22, but his bird instincts are timeless. He can sense wind currents like a hawk (duh) and can send his feathers to do his bidding. He’s basically a living drone swarm. That’s not an age thing—that’s a “this guy is terrifyingly talented” thing.
