Blackhawk was an ace pilot from Poland. After Nazis bombed the peaceful farm that his family lived on, in the opening days of World War II, killing everyone he loved, Blackhawk vowed to battle tyranny. He assembled an international team of ace fighter pilots to assist him.

Blackhawk and his men were ace pilots, flying customized fighter planes, Grumman XF5F Skyrocket. They usually carried handguns and operated off of a remote and heavily fortified island in the Atlantic Ocean. Blackhawk himself was a brilliant leader and tactician. He was also good with his fists.

In ''Hit Comics'' #26, Blackhawk was summoned by Kid Eternity from Blackhawk's own comic, Military Comics, to combat Dr. Pain who the aviator kills in battle.

His enemies included fantastic devices such as the Iron Emperor and the War Wheel as well as modern day evil doers named after Mordred, Genghis Khan, and Blackbeard. He also faced female villains such has as Golda the Japanese Mata Hari, a German spy called the Black Tigeress, the insect themed aviator Madame Butterfly, and more.

King Cobra is one of Blackhawk's most formidable enemies, serving as an elite Nazi flying ace and leader of the infamous Rattlesnakes, a squadron composed of Germany's most accomplished fighter pilots. Feared for their exceptional skill and ruthless tactics, the Rattlesnakes wage relentless aerial campaigns against the Blackhawks, often disregarding the rules of war. Despite their reputation as the Luftwaffe's deadliest unit, King Cobra's cruelty ultimately leads to his downfall, and the Blackhawks decisively defeat both him and his feared squadron.

Another notable villain was Fear who he faced on multiple occasions. She was the daughter of the slain leader of an obscure nation in central Asia. When Blackhawk and his men arrived to investigate the murder, they found Fear always a half-step ahead on her vendetta, ruthlessly avenging her father.

She later developed a romantic interest in Blackhawk, assisting the team in various cases and missions, usually in central Asia. The conclusion of her story, however, seemed to imply that she was resigned to disappointment in carrying a torch for Blackhawk.
