Biography
One day, he came upon a woman who had burnt his home Dawn who sold his horses and even bit his dog with the pair falling in love with one another. Dawn was unwanted by the clan as she was considered too spirited, fierce and clever with them derogatively referring to her as the Goat. Despite that, Raven came to love her with the two eventually getting married. (JLA v1 #85)
Alongside Tezumak, he journeyed to the modern day in an effort to stop the 'seven headed hydra' that was prophecised where they encountered members of the Justice League. Raven had cast his spells to lull them into a sleep state in order for his comrade to sacrifice Wonder Woman. However, Batman managed to free himself and Manitou Raven realised that there were only six foes. It was then that Green Lantern Kyle Rayner arrived to free the Amazon along with the other captured League members. Against their combined assault, Manitou Raven and Tezumak were defeated with the shaman being interrogated through the use of the Lasso of Truth. He was able to, however, cast a spell that allowed him and his comrade to escape capture. Despite Tezumak's anger at being saved, the pair decided to retreat back to the portal and force their foes into the past to fight their own allies. However, Raven found out that the portal was gone and he had to cast a spell to return back through time where he found a means at the ruined site of Atlantis. (JLA v1 #66) They returned back to their time to Atlantis where they reported their failure in their mission to their comrades in the League of Ancients and also revealed that the seven headed hydra appeared to be a team of super-powered beings called the Justice League in the future. The League of Ancients deliberated on this development with Manitou Raven contemplating on the future when he sensed that the Justice League had followed them back to Atlantis. (JLA v1 #70)
In the aftermath, Raven along with his wife were transported to the present where he asked if there was place with them in the world as the Justice League gladly accepted him among them. (JLA v1 #75)
