Released August 1981
Marvel Two-In-One Annual #6
Synopsis
This annual introduces a character called the American Eagle. He was created by Ron Wilson, frequent penciler on this title. If he's an attempt at adding diversity by creating a Native American character, he's something of a disappointment. It's true that whenever you first introduce a character from another country, they generally have a theme and powers that are overtly based on the country... (Captain Britain, Red Guardian, Guardian, Shamrock, etc.). So you might expect the same for the first Native American super-hero. Except this isn't the first Native American super-hero. We've already had Red Wolf and Shaman. So it's time to get beyond the feathers and animal hides and medicine bags and create a character that happens to be Native American but got exposed to cosmic radiation or whatever like everyone else. Anyway, his origin involves an ancient tribal legend about two sons who had a dispute about who would be granted a great power, and they fought over it...
