RED RAVEN[]
Redford Raven [secret]
Red Raven was a bank robber who led his own gang in a series of robberies, until they had a run-in with the Rawhide Kid, who outfought them all, and turned them over to the authorities. In country prison, Raven shared his cell with a Navajo medicine man who was dying. The medicine man decided to share his great secret with Red, that he had designed a winged harness that could be worn by a man, and permit him to glide upon the winds. The old Navajo trained Raven in the use of these wings, until, overcome by his illness, he passed away. Raven tricked the guard into letting him escape by hovering to the ceiling and slipping out, and was able to safely escape the prison simply by flying out of reach of the guards. After a failed attempt to get his revenge on the Rawhide Kid, Red Raven had come to own a new pair of wings, and joined forces with the Iron Mask's. The gang had been inspired by Kang the Conqueror in their timeframe to commit high-scale thefts, but the arrival of the time-travelling West Coast Avengers soon stopped the criminals in their tracks. Red Raven wore multiple pairs of artificial wings during his career as a criminal which allowed him to glide on the wind and air currents. He had eaten a herb given to him by the Navajo medicine man which made him stronger and allowed him to breath at high altitudes.
