THUNDERCLAW[]
Thunderclaw was a native american warrior that learned the secrets of the mighty bear totem from his tribe’s medicine man. But Thunderclaw’s soul was not pure. He abused the powers granted to him by the spirits for personal gain and therefore became cursed. Shunned by his people, he left his tribe and their traditional ways. At some point he joined up with the Cisco Pike Gang. He quickly became one of Cisco Pike's more trusted men, though Pike did ridicule Thunderclaw religious beliefs in the great bear spirit. When the gang attacked the town of Wells Junction, Thunderclaw was instructed to take Yin and Yang and rob the town's bank. Thunderclaw knocked down the bank's door with his incredible strength but the criminals were soon opposed by the Rawhide Kid. The Kid then dispatched all three of the criminals, who then drew their guns on him.
