its possible (and most likely) that hawk met iceman earlier on, before blair got on the claw and moved out before he came...or maybe hawk justn't wasn't good enuff to be seen on the killboard...
and by wc4 time, about what, 14 years has passed? everybody would have aged a fair bit, and i'm sure that blair wouldn't recognise hawk straight away and that after 14 years hawk's attitude had changed completely...making it seem as though blair was meeting hawk for the first time
at least we know what happens to hawk in the end...i would really like to know what happened to panther after wc4, or did she get killed off in the novel or something...Sosa and catscratch as well...did they get married in the end? or did blair not save him in the novel...
