 Created by: Rodney Lockett Other Picture:  First appearance: IronGate Universe #4 | Real Name: Anakin (Ana) Locklear Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Height: 5 foot 11 inches Age: 24 Born in: USA Ethical alliance: Good History Anakin was born a native son of the Chickasaw tribe whose father was the shaman. Early on, he knew he was different. The other boys in school had interests he did not share and he found himself gravitating towards the girls during recess. His mother had noticed his behavior at an early age but had kept it to herself. Her husband was a proud man and she didn't know how he would react to learning his child was possibly gay. She had wanted to talk to her son about her suspicions but had never dared breech the subject. Had she done so, Anakin's questions about why he was feeling the way he felt could have been answered. Still, in time, the answers did come. It happened during the Pow Wow festival. Anakin was one of the participants and while dancing at the rhythm of the drums, he was taken by a vision. The Chikasaw God Inki Abu also known as Aba Binili approached him and gave him the answers he had sought. Inki Abu told Anakin that his days of deceit needed to be cast away in order for him to find solace and peace. He needed to embrace who he really was and follow the path before him. That night, Anakin told his parents that he was leaving and told them the truth about himself; that he had never been a boy and that he was leaving to search his true self. It was many years later that a transgendered Anakin returned but now he had become Ana. His transformation was a shock at first, but once they got passed the obvious changes, his parents could see that he was still their child. The same, however, could not be said for the rest of the tribe. Worried for his new daughter's safety, Ana's father started to research the old scrolls to see if there was something he could do to protect her and found the Spell of Transfusion. This ritual had never been successful before but he reasoned that since his daughter had transformed herself with Inki Abu's blessing, this time it might work. If the ritual did work, his daughter would be able to take on new transformations by acquiring the abilities of animals. Knowing his daughter would not willingly do the ritual, he performed it while she slept. The ritual finished, his daughter woke up screaming and ran out the house. She immediately knew that something in her had changed when she found herself miles from home and barely out of breath. When she returned, her father explained what he had done and Ana was not pleased. She feared people would now think of her as a freak but her father reassured her. He told her that Inki Abu did not give these gifts to just anyone and that he must have seen great things in her heart to allow for the ritual to succeed. Ana did not want to insult Inki Abu by refusing his gifts so decided that she would embrace them. She began to train with the best fighters in the tribe and when she felt she was ready, she took the name Super Fantastic Girl and started to use her powers for good and to help people.
