From here- origin: When T.H.U.N.D.E.R. developed a flight suit, they wanted someone to wear it who would not suffer any form of vertigo. Under his professional name of the Raven, Lawson had been an acrobat, sky-diver and gymnast; moreover, he has unusually acute sight and hearing. Thus, he was tagged for the job. At first, Lawson intended to steal the suit and sell it to the highest bidder. However, when Lightning saves his life on an outing, he has a change of heart and decides to work with the agents. Raven's costume changed virtually with every issue. Equipped with glider wings, rocket jets, golden bird claws and metal wings to form a bullet-proof pod, to be used as a battering ram or to create an airtight "cone". Over time, Raven was given "claws," a laser unit on the back of each glove, the rays of which were capable of slicing through metal or stunning adversaries. Back to me:
Great costume, finally- the first one was a bit weird. Raven was one of the THUNDER Agents I learned about later, since the comics I saw didn't have the character in it yet. He appeared after Menthor's "death" and seeing these comics was very rare even by the early 70s. I think this is a drawing from the late, great George Perez when he worked on one of the oddball series that showed up in the 80s.
