"Apache Chief's main power is the ability to become larger; he can only do this by saying the words "Inyuk-chuk" which in his language means "Big Man". It is said that his powers have no limit. The Native American hero obtained his powers one day walking with the chief of his tribe. Both the chief and the young brave were confronted by a bear. While the young brave became fearful, the chief remained calm, suspecting that this was just the occasion for the brave's dormant powers to be revealed."
