The mature-audience Marvel MAX imprint showcases the adventures of the Earth-31916 version of the Squadron Supreme. This version of Kyle Richmond, an African-American, first appears in the limited series "Supreme Power", and utilizes his wealth to train and develop advanced weaponry and devices to aid in his campaign on crime as a vigilante. Although the character aids the loose formation of heroes that eventually become the Squadron Supreme, Nighthawk chooses to remain aloof and only interacts with them when necessary. The character also appears in the six-issue miniseries "Supreme Power: Nighthawk", in which he investigates an epidemic of drug addiction in Chicago, and learns it is the work of serial killer Whiteface . Nighthawk apprehends and executes the criminal, but not before he causes the deaths of the Mayor and his family.
