Hawks is shown to be very intelligent, both emotionally and logistically. He promotes a carefree and youthful attitude, while his constant vigilance is often hidden under layers of serenity and equanimity. Hawks acts relaxed, while being on constant alert. Due to his past and the way he lived during his childhood, Hawks developed a strong desire to be useful to others, which is why he follows the orders of the Hero Public Safety Commission without hesitation. However, Hawks does not like formalities, often acting in an unpredictable, cocky and mocking manner. He acts indifferent and jokingly submissive as he does not care about social status or recognition. He calmly agrees when Katsuki Bakugo claims to have been faster, and reacts with ironic adaptation when someone says he is younger. Hawks believes that popular approval is the most important metric by which a hero should be judged, as it is a hero's job to reassure citizens, something he claims to be unable to do. Hawks shows a preference for lower hero levels, as it would give him more freedom and avoid the burden of being a higher hero. He states that his desire is to patrol freely and slowly and "take it easy." Still, Hawks is said to be fierce regarding his Hero duties, understanding the importance of a leader figure among all heroes after All Might's retirement. When around others he likes, Hawks is very talkative and can casually carry on a long one-sided conversation while helping dozens of civilians simultaneously in his area of influence. He also states that he will always fight for what he desires. Ironically, despite his peculiar Gift, he seems to have a special taste for poultry-based foods; turning him into a raptor. While Hawks seems disinterested in most things, he has a good heart as he saves all the witnesses to Hood's attack and is quietly disgusted by the strain of maintaining his duty of acting as a double agent in the middle of a cabal of villains and terrorists.
