History:
Some years before the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, an Indian brave named Strong Bow began his trek back and forth across the North American continent. His mission was one of peace; he was the last surviving member of his tribe, which had been wiped out in a massacre. Saying only that he came from "beyond the Misty Mountains", Strong Bow intervened in the troubles of many different tribes in areas as far north as parts of Canada and as far south as Mexico. His help and wisdom was welcomed by the many tribes he met and it is not certain how many times he crisscrossed the continent. His final fate is unknown.
Strong Bow played a brief part in the crisis on infinite earths when he and other heroes of the past were transported to 1985.
Powers:
Though a man of peace, Strong Bow was often pressed into battle. His hand-to-hand combat skills were above average and he was an expert with a bow and arrow. Perhaps most impressive was the strength of Strong Bow's legs: He walked virtually all the miles he traveled, since horses had not yet been introduced in the Americas.
