Scalphunter (Brian Savage) is a fictional character, a Wild West hero in the DC Comics Universe. Scalphunter first appeared in ''Weird Western Tales'' #39 and was created by Sergio Aragones and Joe Orlando. ==Fictional character biography== Brian Savage was born at some point during the 1830s to Matt Savage.〔Markstein, Don. ("Matt Savage, Trail Boss," ) Don Markstein's Toonopedia. Accessed Aug. 13, 2011.〕 During his childhood his family's ranch was attacked by Kiowa Indians and young Brian was abducted. The Indians raised him, naming him Ke-Woh-No-Tay ('He Who Is Less Than Human'). Eventually returning to white society, he was given the name Scalphunter. In his later years he became sheriff of Opal City, during which time he befriended the Shade, becoming the immortal's best friend and companion. Savage, in 1899, found out about numerous threats made on several Opal storeowners by Opal City's secret Tuesday Club. When attempting to stop the threats, both the storeowners and the vast majority of his team were killed, the storeowners by hanging and his team in a massive blast that levelled Opal City's police station. The only survivor from his team except for himself was the young Carny O'Dare. Seeking revenge, Savage hunted down and killed all the members of the Tuesday Club, removing a major threat to Opal's safety. Unfortunately, shortly after this, the final survivor of the Club's massacre and final inductee, Jason Melville, killed him. Melville was subsequently killed by O'Dare in retaliation. Savage, however, was hailed a hero for the destruction of the club. Steve Savage, the World War I hero known as the Balloon Buster, is his son, something he revealed to Shade as he lay dying.〔 The 1990s series ''Starman'' featured the character Matt O'Dare, who was revealed to be the reincarnation of Savage. It was also suggested that Savage would be reincarnated again and become the future hero Star Boy. He also made an appearance in the 12-issue miniseries, ''The Kents'', alongside its main character. In the ''Weird Western Tales'' #71 tie-in to the ''Blackest Night'' crossover, Scalphunter was reanimated as a member of the Black Lantern along with Black Lantern Jonah Hex and Bat Lash. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scalphunter (DC Comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
