Northwind

Norda Cantrell is the half-human, half-Feitherian son of an American archaeologist and a winged native of the hidden city of Feithera. Raised among his mother's people, he inherited the ability to fly and eventually joined the young heroes of Infinity, Inc.

Born in the pages of Infinity, Inc. #4 in 1984, Northwind is a Bronze Age DC creation brought to life by the celebrated trio of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jerry Ordway — the same visionary team that gave that era some of its most memorable legacy characters. Northwind has proven genuinely enduring, with appearances stretching across four decades from 1984 all the way to 2025, and two of those turns in print are recognized as collector-significant key issues. Most at home in the pages of Infinity, Inc. and JSA, he keeps remarkable company — sharing adventures with the likes of Green Lantern, Hector Hall, Albert Rothstein, and Jennie-Lynn Hayden — and even earned a spotlight in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, DC's ultimate stamp of canonical importance. For fans of legacy storytelling and the rich generational tapestry that makes DC's heroic tradition so rewarding to explore, Northwind is a quietly fascinating figure well worth seeking out.
