This creates tension with Hawkman since he remembers all of their past lives together and believes they are destined for each other. She currently has all of Kendra's memories, but almost none of Shiera's save for fighting experiences. This led to a meeting with the Justice Society and Kendra's induction to that team.

Still believing herself to be Kendra, she debuted as a hero using the original Hawkgirl's equipment and set out in search of a being called the Fate-Child (actually her own reincarnated son, Hector Hall). Kendra had a daughter named Mia, who is not shown but mentioned. Her grandfather, former OSS agent and globe-trotting adventurer Speed Saunders, recognized this, in part due to a change in eye color, and encouraged his granddaughter to embrace her destiny as the "new" Hawkgirl. When Kendra's soul left her body, that of her grandfather's first cousin Shiera Sanders Hall, the Golden Age Hawkgirl and Carter Hall's wife entered it, making Kendra a walk-in. Kendra Saunders was a young Hispanic woman who committed suicide. Carter and Shiera were resurrected after Blackest Night, but Kendra has since been killed again. Kendra and the original Hawkman (Carter Hall) were killed during the Blackest Night storyline Katar Hol had been killed previously in a final battle with the Hawkgod, and Carter Hall, who had reincarnated in a new body, replaced him as Hawkgirl's partner. She was a member of the Justice League of America at its relaunch, but left the team due to injuries sustained in Final Crisis. Throughout the Russian arc, Hawkgirl serves as a team member and develops a rivalry with Secret Six member Scandal. Oracle first solicits her assistance in issue #104 in dealing with the Secret Six, for which Oracle rewards her with a car. Kendra was a recurrent member of the Birds of Prey.
