HISTORY 

William M. Wisehorse III is the latest in a saga of Mantokas, magic-makers, Indian-American shamans descended from the Coyote Spirit himself. In a solemn ceremony, the would-be Mantoka is bitten by a rattlesnake, "the bite of knowledge," awakening his sleeping secret power. Billy works as a forest guard and uses his powers to protect his heritage, nature, and any innocent who are threatened. Billy received the call from Professor Supermind to become a member of the second Atomic Squad, but in the end he declined to become part of the team (at least full time) because of his duties as Mantoka and as forest guard. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Basically, the Mantoka is a shapeshifter, capable of becoming a perfect double of any living creature, man, animal, and even plant. 

The Mantoka also possesses great strength and endurance beyond the average human. Billy was in the military, where he received military training and is a good tracker and detective.
