| − | Flying Stag was the greatest warrior and hunter of the '''Wolf Clan''' of the Nations in North America where he came to be honoured and revered by his people. Around this time, he came to be romantically involved with another member of the tribe named '''White Fawn''' whose father had even agreed for the two to be wed. As a young sachem, he came to receive a message that said that the royaneh of the Nations was said and a new chief was to be chosen to replace them. A token was provided with the message that allowed the Wolf Clan to participate in the trials. '''Grey Eagle''' who was the medicine man of the clan decided that Flying Stag was to go to the Council of Elders and compete for the position of royaneh. He journeyed on the Moon of the Black Calf where he fell into a trap that Flying Stag quickly determined was from rival clan chiefs that wanted to eliminate him from the contest. Flying Stag then made a vow to relinquish his name and the chance to become supreme chief where he dedicated himself to his people as a whole to remove acts of evil among them. The Manitou seemingly answered when a meteor crashed by Flying Stag and whilst unconscious he was exposed to its radiation. Unconscious, he dreamed of the Great Spirit who stated that Flying Stag would be his servant and serve as a protector of the Nation's with him being afforded superhuman powers to aid him. He came to free himself where he was tasked with getting a piece of the meteor to wear for all time and abandon his former identity as he became a servant of Manitou under the identity of Super-Chief. During his travel to the Council house, he was told to fell a black buffalo and fashion a costume for himself from its hide to help mask his identity. He then went to the camp for the trial where with his natural talents he bested the other clan participants that sought to remove him from the competition. Super-Chief succeeded and was crowned the new royaneh of the Nation's but the disgruntled rival chieftains plotted his downfall. One caused an avalanche and the other started a fire with Super-Chief reliant on the stone to empower him to end both dangers to the tribal lands. It was then that the third chieftain brought the Nation's enemies the Algonkins to attack where the stone's power faded but Super-Chief led his people in defending their land and driving off the invaders. Hailed a hero, he proclaimed that the rival chieftains be banished for three days for their betrayal and told the people that he would come whenever danger threatened them. He then departed and resumed his Flying Stag identity where he returned him but was told by White Fawn that as he seemingly failed to attend the trials that she was not allowed to marry him.
