Apache Chief is a fictional Native American superhero from the various Super Friends cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera and based on the comic book series of same name developed by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, the creators of Batman and the The Joker. He was one of the new heroes added (along with Black Vulcan, Rima the Jungle Girl, El Dorado and Samurai) to increase the number of non-white characters in the Super Friends ranks. He was voiced by Michael Rye.
In the Challenge of the Super Friends series, Apache Chief was seen in every episode except one, but had spoken lines in only nine out of the sixteen episodes of the series. His arch enemy from the Legion of Doom was Giganta, who also happens to be an original arch enemy of Wonder Woman.
