Another comic book includes a mystical Indian being with mysterious powers and plans:
On the road again in their pursuers' post-apocalyptic RV, the kids race to save a mortally wounded teammate! But a stopover in a small town governed by Super-Villains might spell doom for the entire team! It's Gen13 versus the "lost generation" from NUMBER OF THE BEAST as the kids get schooled in what it means to be super.Comment: This is another comic I didn't buy. I don't know what the being named Kachina Red Wind has in mind--only that it has something to do with Gen13's Apache hero
Rainmaker.
But I suspect the Hopi wouldn't approve of a comic-book character named after their sacred katsinas (aka kachinas). It's the kind of offense that caused them to protest vociferously against
NFL SUPERPRO #6.
Using the Pueblo Indian's "Kachina" name with an Apache hero, using the stereotypical color "red"...this character could be wrong in many ways. It seems like a bad idea all around.
