APPEALS TO: SOME 

Hubert Logan ate some contaminated commodity cheese, tainted with Rezium. Now he has superpowers, and he can transform into Super Indian. He also has a superpowered dog as a sidekick, and other indigenous friends who help fight against an evil overlord, uninformed tourists, and a former rockstar celebrity set on taking the reservation for himself. 

Super Indian reads like an old fashioned comic. The bad guys are evil; they are up to some bad stuff, poisoning people, stealing things from the wild, and causing mayhem. I love that most of the action revolves around what's going on in the Bingo Hall on the reservation. It's a 3-book series so far, each containing multiple full-color comic books. The stories are great, I bought all three for my library. The characters are indigenous, from a fictional reservation. They speak Choctaw
