Stargazer wears a white button up shirt, loosened necktie, suspenders and slacks, making him resemble a stereotypical plainclothes police officer. His armor is gold, covering the upper left portion of his head as well as his body, and his left eye has been replaced by a telescopic lens. In the SilverHawks' first adventure, Stargazer is depicted as the keeper of Tally-Hawk, who subsequently was teamed with Quicksilver. He chiefly serves as the SilverHawks "eyes and ears", keeping them apprised of their current situation. Older than the other SilverHawks, he longs to return to Earth for either a vacation or for retirement. Commander Stargazer (voiced by Bob McFadden) - a tough and grizzled old cop with bionic capabilities, he captured Mon*Star several years ago and had him imprisoned.Left to right: Copper Kidd, Bluegrass, Quicksilver (with Tally-Hawk perched on arm), Steelheart, Steelwill. The SilverHawks in the show's title sequence. Their bionic bodies are covered by a full-body close-fitting metal armor that only exposes the face and an arm, the armor is equipped with a retractile protective mask, retractable under-arm wings (except Bluegrass), thrusters on their heels, and laser-weapons in their shoulders. Rounding out the group is a youngster "from the planet of the mimes", named "The Copper Kidd" and usually called "Kidd" for short, a mathematical genius who spoke in whistles and computerized tones. Country-singing Bluegrass piloted the team's ship, the Maraj (pronounced " mirage" on the series, but given that spelling on the Kenner toy). Twins Emily and Will Hart became Steelheart and Steelwill, the SilverHawks's technician and strongman respectively. Quicksilver (formerly Jonathan Quick) leads the SilverHawks, with his metal bird companion Tally-Hawk at his side. Joining Mon*Star in his villainy is an intergalactic mob: the snakelike Yes-Man, the blade-armed Buzz-Saw, the "bull"-headed Mumbo-Jumbo, a weather controller called Windhammer, a shapeshifter known as Mo-Lec-U-Lar, a robotic card shark called Poker-Face, the weapons-heavy Hardware, and "the musical madness of" Melodia who uses a " keytar" that fires musical notes.
