Robert Bearclaw, also known as Ripclaw, is an American Indian super-hero who is affiliated with Cyberforce. Not surprisingly, this fearsome character has little trouble finding trouble on his own, as this limited series proves.
When not on the team, Bearclaw lives on his people’s reservation where he tries to live a peaceful life. That, of course, is an impossibility. The first story arc involves a rare mystical stone that empowers the holder with enormous powers. When in the right hands, the stone can perform wondrous tasks. When in the wrong hands, the stone can be warped into a dreadful weapon. Ripclaw is asked to recover the magic rock, which he agrees to do. The task puts him in competition with Doonongaes, a demon lord who also seeks the stone’s power.
