Nelvana

Nelvana is a powerful Inuk mythological figure protecting the people of the North with her superhuman abilities. She is the daughter of a mortal woman and Koliak the Mighty, King of the Northern Lights. The gods were outraged with Koliak and his marriage to a mortal woman, and therefore his physical form is no longer visible, although his spirit is manifested in the form of the Northern Lights. Nelvana draws on the powers of her father and the Northern Lights to fight super-powered Nazi agents in the North. Nelvana has several superhuman powers, including the ability to fly at the speed of light on a giant ray of the Northern Lights, call on the powers of her father, melt metal, and disrupt radio communications. Nelvana is also telepathic and can turn invisible, as well as change her physical form. Nelvana is often found fighting crime with her brother Tanero, and with help from their father Koliak, King of the Northern Lights. Later, she is joined by the mountie Corporal Keene. Tanero, though having powers similar to Nelvana, lived under a curse that forbade him from being seen by white men, and thus reverted to the form of a dog whenever they were present.
