History
Chief Sitting Duck was one of the only two surviving members of the Duckowee Native American tribe, along with warrior One-Feather. As of the 1840s, they found a small town, Pleasantville, where they wanted to settle - but, before they could do so, Pleasantville was evacuated because the locals moved to California looking for gold. Sitting Duck performed spells so that time would not pass there and that noone could find them, giving rise to the legend of Shang-Goo-La. The spell failed during the 1950s and the town was assaulted by a band of barbarian bikers, the Sickle Club, who imprisoned the Duckowees. It took them 30 years to dig a escape tunnel; when they did, One-Feather was sent with a map to find help. Unfortunately, One-Feather's use of magic was imperfect and he turned into a baby, then an egg. Fortunately, One-Feather's map ended up in newspaper editor J. Jonah Jackal, who decided to go after the story with several journalists, including Bunsen Bunny, J. Jeremiah Jackal, Upton Adam Stray and photographer Peter Porker (the later being secretly superhero Spider-Ham). The bikers imprisoned all of them and tried to lynch them, but Spider-Ham used his powers to rescue them and, following Sitting Duck's plan, goaded the bikers to leave the town. Once they were outside the town, they turned into elderly people with no way to come back to the town, and even their bikes broke. Unfortunately, the journalist were also unable to prove the existance of Shang-Goo-La, and Sitting Duck never knew what happened to his last brave one, One-Feather.[1]
Attributes
Powers
Sitting Duck could do some magic rituals to stop the pass of time at a given place and so that people would forget how to reach it or be unable to find it. He also knew of rituals to eat kernals so that, when a person leaves the timeless area, they do not age too quickly. These magicks were not perfect and could be hampered by improper use or by strong rain.[1]
Notes
Sitting Duck's name is a clear reference to real-world Lakota leader Sitting Bull.
