Orang-Utan

Lawa Wame grew up in Papua New Guinea  playing in old growth canopy jungle so thick he couldn’t see the sun. On his 13th birthday he stumbled across a clear-cutting operation. The destruction drove him deep into the rainforest for three months before he returned to his tribe. An elder, seeing in him the seeds of greatness, led him through ancient rituals that gave him the power to assume the form of any mammal he wished.
Taking on the name Orang-Utan, he used his new powers to fight the growing deforestation and pollution threatening his home. In human form, he investigates development in the region to find the sources of corruption and destruction, then uses his powers to infiltrate these facilities and cause maximum havoc. His favored shape is his namesake, which he spends as much time in as in his human form. Orang-Utan’s raids have shown a sense of humor; three hired guards were subjected to drug tests after reporting an attack by a polar bear on a truck carrying toxic waste bound for illegal disposal in a local river.
