Duckowee (Earth-8311)

The Duckowee Native American tribe was a dignified one until it was reduced -by unspecified means- to only two surviving members, Chief Sitting Duck and warrior One-Feather. As of the 1840s, they found a small town, Pleasantville, where they wanted to settle - but, before they could do so, Pleasantville was evacuated because the locals moved to California looking for gold. Sitting Duck performed spells so that time would not pass there and that noone could find them, giving rise to the legend of Shang-Goo-La. The spell failed during the 1950s and the town was assaulted by a band of barbarian bikers, the Sickle Club, who imprisoned the Duckowees. It took them 30 years to dig a escape tunnel; when they did, One-Feather was sent with a map to find help. Unfortunately, One-Feather's use of magic was imperfect and he turned into a baby, then an egg. Fortunately, One-Feather's map ended up in newspaper editor J. Jonah Jackal, who decided to go after the story. Jackal and several journalist -one of whom was secretly superhero Spider-Ham- found Shang-Goo-La and chased the bikers away; once they were outside the town, they turned into elderly people with no way to come back to the town, and even their bikes broke. Unfortunately, the journalist were also unable to prove the existance of Shang-Goo-La, and Sitting Duck never knew what happened to his last brave one, One-Feather.^[1]
