Black Bison

Black Bison is a mystical DC villain who wields a powerful coup stick tied to Native American shamanic tradition, granting him control over inanimate objects and animals. He debuted as a recurring foe of Firestorm, the Nuclear Man.

Conjured from the Bronze Age imagination of Gerry Conway and Pat Broderick, Black Bison made a striking entrance in The Fury of Firestorm #2 in 1982 — stepping into a DC Universe already crackling with the energy of Firestorm, The Flash, and Green Lantern. Over four decades of DC history, this character has carved out a distinctive niche in the Firestorm corner of the cosmos, even earning a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, that beloved roll call of characters worth knowing. A relatively rare presence in the catalog, Black Bison rewards the dedicated hunter — a Bronze Age original with staying power and the kind of focused legacy that makes completionists sit up and take notice.
