'''D.L. Hawkins''' is a former construction worker and the estranged husband of [[Niki Sanders]] and father of [[Micah Sanders]]. He was at one time involved with [[Mr. Linderman]]'s criminal enterprises in [[Las Vegas]].

==Character History==

===[[One Giant Leap]]===
[[Niki]] claims [[D.L.]] robbed [[Mr. Linderman]] of [[the money|2 million dollars]] and then killed [[D.L.'s crew|his own crew]]. He apparently was almost captured, but managed to escape, perhaps through the use of his [[Powers#Phasing|powers]]. [[Micah]] later reveals that he might be in contact with D.L.

===[[Hiros]]===
When Niki returns home from Linderman's casino, she finds several police officers waiting for her. The officer tell her that D.L. has been spotted nearby and that he may be trying to reach her and Micah. After the officer leave, D.L. appears in the hallway.

===[[Better Halves]]===
D.L. returns home in order to help raise Micah and to prove his innocence. He claims that he backed out of a plan to steal $2 million from Mr. Linderman but was framed by an unknown woman who stepped in and stole the money herself. He's found a man who he believes knows the woman that stole the money, however when he and Niki show up they find a room with several dead men in it. D.L. later catches Niki with a briefcase containing the $2 million and realizes that she stole the money. They fight and just when it seems Niki may have the advantage, he uses his [[powers#Phasing|power]] to phase his hand into her chest and interfere with her heart causing her to fall unconscious. D.L. takes [[the money]] and leaves with Micah.

===[[Nothing to Hide]]===
While driving away from [[Las Vegas]], D.L. tells [[Micah]] they can never return home. Micah accuses him of being a "bad guy", because only bad guys run. Later, D.L. uses his powers to rescue a woman from a burning car fire, and Micah tells him he's a hero after all. At a motel later that night, D.L., unaware of Micah's [[Powers#Technopathy|powers]], finds him apparently playing around with a broken pay phone, and does not realize that Micah has told [[Jessica]] where to find them.

===[[Homecoming]]===
Still running away from [[Niki]] (who became [[Jessica]]), [[Micah]] tells D.L. that his mom has changed, and sometimes a woman named Jessica takes over her body. When they stop by a restaurant, D.L. goes out to buy some food, and tells Micah to stay inside. He suddenly notices a police officer entering the restaurant, and hides his face. When he comes back to the car, he discovers that Micah is gone. After a long search, he finds Micah, who tells him that now D.L. knows how Micah felt when his dad left. Outside of another hotel, Micah tells his father that he called his mom and told her where they are. Jessica, who hides on a top of a tree, holds a sniper rifle, aims on D.L. and shoots.

==Powers==
D.L. has the ability to [[Powers#Phasing|phase]] some or all of his body through solid objects. He has used his ability to walk through walls, pass his arm through a window, open locked doors, and reach into [[Niki]]'s chest. The last use of his power was used to render [[Niki]] unconscious in [[Better Halves]] and opens the possibility for more offensive uses of this power. The details on how this ability works are not yet clear, but Leonard Roberts said that D.L's powers work by changing the properties of matter. <sup>reference needed</sup>

==Notes==
* Before D.L.'s introduction, mentions of him made him sound like he was a full-time member of [[Mr. Linderman]]'s organization. However, as of [[Better Halves]] it's less clear that this was the case. Based on his conversation with Niki about the robbery, it now seems just as likely that D.L. was primarily a construction worker who did at best a few jobs for Linderman on the side. This has led some fans to question whether D.L.'s "crew" refers, as originally assumed, to a criminal gang, or merely to a construction crew who were involved in only the one robbery. However, the [[Graphic Novel:Snapshots|"Snapshots" graphic novel]] indicates that D.L. considered his crew a bad influence, which seems to indicate the former context. The [[Graphic Novel:Stolen Time|"Stolen Time" graphic novel]] further reveals that he used to be the gang's safe cracker.
