Hunted by Savage[edit | hide]
At some point, Chay-Ara was killed by Vandal Savage and reincarnated into multiple individuals across time, eventually into Kendra Saunders. Saunders discovered her abilities and began suiting up as Hawkgirl, becoming a vigilante.[8]

_(Pre-Crisis)_022.png)
In 2015, Hall was recruited by Rip Hunter alongside Ray Palmer, Mick Rory, Martin Stein, Jefferson Jackson, Carter Hall, Sara Lance and Leonard Snart, into the Legends of Tomorrow, hoping to defeat Vandal Savage.[8]
Retirement from Vigilantism[edit | hide]
During the course of their war against Vandal Savage, Saunders was engaged to Ray Palmer after Carter Hall was killed in action. However, the engagement was short-lived as Hall's reincarnation, Scythian Torvil, joined the Legends. With Savage successfully defeated and unable to restore his body, Saunders and Torvil were saved from the curse of being repeatedly killed by Savage, allowing them to leave the life of being a vigilante and settle down.[8]
Ex-Legends Reunion[edit | hide]
