Yellow Wolf (Open Source)

Real Name: Barnaby Wolf

Created by: Marz Workman, 7-21-13

Golden Age Origin
Barnaby worked as a researcher at a local museum. He was working late one night when thieves broke in to steal artifacts. Barnaby caught them and attempted to fight them off. He was thrown across the storeroom and into a shelf. A box fell on him and opened. The medallion inside fell out onto his chest. As he grabbed it, it began to glow. The glow then covered his entire body.

The thieves were hauling artifacts out to a truck when Barnaby appeared and began taking out the crooks. Soon, they were all defeated. Barnaby realized he wasn’t the same. He looked at his clawed hands, then at the thieves. He fled into the night.

He becomes a superhero and fights crime in the streets, and later, in the war. He carries two tonfas which he usually carries on his back.

  3. I asked a stupidly worded time related question. Did you have a date of origin in mind for him though? If I got to do a new All Star Squadron series, I'd want to include him in that team. DC originally wanted to use all the golden age heroes possible, originally from many different comic companies, but the Crisis On Infinite Earths put a big snag in things. I'd love to see a new version of the project also including the golden age Marvel creations and acquisitions and all unused DC creations and acquisitions, and others they want, like the MLJ catalogue.
