Biography
Origin
Northwind
Northwind and the Feitherans came under a number of attacks by humanity, so they left their home, relocating time and againto keep as far away as they could from mankind. Northwind and his brethren underwent rapid evolution to survive. Northwind, like the other Feitherans, became more bird than man, and lost the ability to speak. Northwind and the Feitherans were looking for a home when Black Adam found them and took in Northwind, who became a member of Adam’s superteam. (JSA v1 #56) Northwind, Black Adam, Atom-Smasher and Brainwave, Jr. watched news coverage of Captain Marvel and the JSA’s rescue of elementary school students from the clutches of the Shadower. They were disgusted by the light-handed approach Captain Marvel used to make Shadower give up to the authorities. (JSA v1 #40) In the wake of a series of terrorist attacks carried out by Kobra cultists, Northwind, Black Adam, Atom-Smasher, and Brainwave, Jr. stormed Kobra’s temple in the Himalayas and slaughtered the Kobra cultists. They confronted Kobra and told him they were sick of villains like him never facing justice, always being briefly imprisoned then escaping to do more harm. Black Adam then ripped out Kobra’s heart, killing him. (JSA v1 #51) Northwind and the rest of Black Adam’s team arrived in Adam’s homeland of Kahndaq with the intention of reclaiming it for Adam. They freed the workers of a slave labor camp and slaughtered the soldiers guarding the camp. They went to Kahndaq’s capital of Shiruta and confronted dictator Asim Muhunnad. After Black Adam ordered Atom-Smasher to execute Muhunnad Adam proclaimed himself ruler of Kahndaq. (JSA v1 #56)
