I never knew if Apache Chief lived in a teepee until adulthood, or if he was just really stupid. Him English skilz were rivalling to that of Solomon Grundy, but the Super Friends kept him around in case nobody could reach something really high. He would grow by screaming, "Enuch-Chuck!" This is a phrase from his first language loosely translated as, "I hate Mondays." Incidentally, his first language is gibberish he invented while living alone in his smoke house with a broken Speak n' Spell. His name bugged me too. I don't think he was Apache or a chief. That's like taking a white guy and throwing him on a team of indians and saying, "Your name is.... Minnesota President."
Excuse me, they would probably say, "Your name, like ancients before you, is symbol of great moon as flying eagle protect you. Your name be... Minnesota President." So the Super Friends' attempt at non-objectifying Native Americans as the bad guys in children's games was poorly executed. It was still more successful than anything Aqua Man tried.SUPER RATING: 5 - Okay. So he talked like a 60 year old bareknuckle boxer after a bottle of tequila, but he did get pretty big and tough. Plus he had all those cool Indian skills like building fires, tracking, and leather vest accessorizing.
