Raven is a very stoic person by nature. His training and knowledge in all things Apache sorcery and rituals has made him a lot more closed off to others than he was before he dove deeper into them. He is a very rational (overly so), when he knew his wife Dawn was cheating he did not act on it feeling that there would be a time and place to rectify it. He has a strong sense of right and wrong.

Mortal: Can be stabbed, cut, poisoned, die of old age, etc.
Native American Occultism: Each ritual has it's own particular requirements. Most have to have the number four in them (quartet singing, four stomps, four days, etc). Some times he has to enter the spirit plane and it takes a toll on him mentally and physically.
Native American Sorcery: Depending which of his powers he summons through which spirit will depend on which weakness he inherits. For each spirit he prays to for 'enlightenment', each gives him power of the supernatural. He is aware of the risk of each of these powers. Example, when he grows really big he has to be aware of the destruction he would cause to the surrounding environment or when he travels through time what he can effect in the time line.

Manitou Raven and his wife Dawn are from the Obsidian Age of Atlantis, circa 1000 BCE. They were born in North America, from a tribe which would one day become the Apache Tribe. Raven was recruited by the rulers of Atlantis, Rama Khan and Gamemnae, to join heroes from across the globe and form a multicultural League of Ancients. This League was formed for the purpose to prepare for the prophecy of the 'Seven Headed Hydra' would come from the future and threaten Atlantis.
When the Justice League travels back in time to try and find out what happened to Atlantis, they run into super-powered beings who defeat them. Manitou Raven makes a deal with Green Lantern, before killing him, that will save the Justice League. Manitou uses one of his tools on the dead bodies of the Justice League to see if they are good people. The bodies pass the tests. With Green Lantern's heart, Manitou Raven is able to resurrect the Justice League and defeat the corrupt rulers of ancient Altantis. Manitou Raven and his wife Dawn decides to travel to the future with the Justice League. Manitou Raven then joins the Justice League and later the Justice League Elite.
Manitou began giving all of his time to his work, and neglected Dawn. In order to try and make him jealous so that Manitou will want her back, Dawn began to have an affair with Green Arrow (Oliver Queen). Green Arrow was also on both teams. Manitou Raven eventually found out about the affair between the two but decided not to act. Before he left on a mission, he told Dawn that he loves her. On the mission, Green Arrow is struck out of the ship and Manitou Raven saves him with his hatchet. While Green Arrow was climbing back up, the hatchet cut his chest which showed that he was not an honest man. Manitou Raven sacrificed his life in order to save his colleagues. His spirit then traveled on to help Major Disaster with his drinking problem. Dawn was given his possessions and inherited his title and became Manitou Dawn.

Letting the dust settle on the streets of Manhattan Manitou Raven Knew that in order to beat this Giganta he was going to have to use more than just his brawn. As a shaman from circa 1000 BC he had a vast knowledge of all kinds of different rituals that would give him the edge in this fight, but there was one specific ability that his sorcery gave him that would level out this battlefield. His size altering ability, it was something he used but tried not to make it a habit of using too often. Certain situations, like this one, just called for him to activate this ability.
"Evil one, on this day you will not further your destructive path on the once sacred land our ancestors once shared," Manitou stated as he lowered himself to the ground. "Shut up little man!" Giganta shouted as she went to step down on the street where the Apache descendant was. "Inukchuk!" came a bellow from below as the evilness' foot was caught and then she was sent falling backward. "Whhaaa???" she let out as she crashed into a body that was located near the city safely from harming anyone.
"You are shrouded in evil spirits. I the Apache Chief shall purify this land from those spirits once more," Raven stated loud and proud as Giganta slowly got back to her feet. "Whatever, just because you can copy me does not mean you'll take me down that easily!" She yelled as she took a swing at the Native American man only to be stopped by his staff. Spinning the staff he then struck her upside the head with the other end. Catching her defenses down he swung around tripping the large woman up into the air to then strike her forcibly down onto the water with another blow to the stomach. This caused a small wave of water to act as a tidal wave. Acting quickly he pulled out his hatchet and struck the water dissipating the wave and calming the water. "Be still great spirits, I am here to defend you once more."
