Long Shadow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Long Shadow is a fictional character, a superhero featured in the animated series, Justice League Unlimited. He has the ability to grow and expand his body to astronomical sizes increasing his strength. Later, he gained enhanced hearing. He has been a member of the Ultimen.

Long Shadow seemed to have the most innocence and had a pacifist quality that caught the eye of Wonder Woman. He also was the only member of the Ultimen that showed interest in joining the Justice League. Long Shadow would be the first to find out that he and the Ultimen were cloned. He told the rest of the Ultimen and they later found out that they were scientifically created and their bodies were deteriorating. While his teammates were blinded by rage and fought the Justice League, he was trying to save people from the chaos the fighting caused. He eventually got Wind Dragon to stop fighting while the others had been defeated. The other Ultimen were incarcerated and he would have forcibly gone with them if not for Wonder Woman and more notably Batman. From that moment until however long he had, implied to be a matter of days, Long Shadow became a member of the Justice League. He apparently died as he is not shown with the other members in "Panic In the Sky" as they fight the Ultimen clones.

The character is based on Apache Chief from the Super Friends and is voiced by Gregg Rainwater.
