B'wana Beast was a member of the Justice League after the Thanagarian invasion. He was rather cocky and flirtatious with women, but dexterous nonetheless.
History
B'wana Beast was present at Superman's speech to the newly expanded Justice League. He was standing to the left of Doctor Light.[1]
When Wonder Woman was changed into a pig, Batman called for B'wana Beast for his expertise in tracking down animals. He was about to get a hold on Wonder Woman, but then lost track of her in a pig sty.[2] B'wana Beast was present on the Watchtower when it was invaded by the Ultimen. He was seen rushing at one of the Juice clones.[3]
B'wana Beast witnessed Superman's speech announcing the next reformation of the Justice League and the addition of the Metro Tower. He stood behind the Ray.[4]
With the Question, Metamorpho, and Steel, B'wana Beast was one of the first heroes to chase after the defunct Secret Society members after Batman gave them a "head start".[5]
Powers
B'wana Beast was an excellent animal tracker and claimed to have the ability to communicate with animals.[2]
Background information
B'wana Beast made his first appeared in Showcase #66 (January–February 1967), and was created by Bob Haney and Mike Sekowsky. Mike Maxwell was a ranger who was given a mystic elixir and a helmet by a shaman to become B'wana Beast, the Jungle Master. B'wana Beast was capable of mind controlling and merging any two animals together ("B'wana" is Swahili for "master" or "lord"). He resided in a secret hideout at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, and with his gorilla companion, Djuba, B'wana Beast set out to fight many foes, such as Hamid Ali, "He Who Never Dies". B'wana Beast never enjoyed mainstream popularity, and ended up serving as a backup character in a few Animal Man issues. After B'wana Beast was killed off, his mantle was taken up by South African Dominic Mnawe, who became Freedom Beast.
