Apache Chief

Apache Chief is a fictional character, a superhero from the animated series Super Friends. He was one of the "affirmative action" characters created later in the series exclusively to make the show appear more universal and inclusive. Apache Chief does not appear in the mainstream DC Comics universe, but a somewhat similar character called Manitou Raven was a member of the canonical JLA.

By speaking the word "Inuk-chuk," ("Big Man") Apache Chief could grow to vast sizes. He could also speak in stereotypical "Indian English" and recite vaguely Native American philosophy. In an episode titled "Colossus," Apache Chief "Inuk-chuks" himself to cosmic proportions to battle the Colossus, a titanic space creature that plucked Earth from its orbit and placed it in a small (relative to him) glass bottle.

Apache Chief's origin, related in an episode of the animated series, was thus: While still a young brave, he went for a walk with the chief of his tribe. The two men are quickly attacked by a bear, but the chief - recognizing that the young brave might be ready for a test such as this - gives the younger man a pouch of a special magic dust, which will amplify the user's thoughts and abilities a hundredfold. The young brave resolves to be strong and brave (heeding the chief's advice that whatever is in his mind at the time, the dust will amplify), and upon sprinkling himself with the dust and invoking the magic phrase "Inuk-chuk", grows a hundred times larger, stronger and braver. He disposes of the bear, without violence, proving that he has passed the test. (Unfortunately, a passersby witnesses the entire affair and steals the potion, using it on herself - and becomes the evil Giganta).

Apache Chief was also featured on "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law", the subject of the episode "A Very Personal Injury".

The character Longshadow from the new Justice League Unlimited series is also based directly on him.
