Line 185:
** In one episode, this power was ''far'' more powerful; he was able to say the word dozens of times in succession and actually become ''bigger than the Earth'' itself in order to fight a [[Cosmic Entity]] that was just as big. This is clearly a case of [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]], but it did seem to come out of nowhere.
** There's also one episode where some of the Superfriends find their comrades "with the help of Apache Chief's keen tracking abilities."
** Longshadow from ''[[Justice League]]'' was a [[Shout Out]] to the Chief, much like all the Ultimen were Shout Outs to the OC characters on ''Superfriends''; while clearly Native American, he didn't have as many blatant racial stereotypes, Longshadow was also the [[Only Sane Man]] among the Ultimen. Unlike the Chief, he didn't need a verbal phrase to use his growth powers, and was a decent fighter even at human-size.
* The toy-based animated series ''[[Bravestarr]]'', which had a titular character based on this trope... Just, like said, in space. Magical Native Spacemerican. He was the on-duty marshal of a mining colony on the planet "New Texas", making liberal use of animal powers bestowed on him by spirits. His mentor's name was "Shaman"...
* Parodied in an episode of ''[[South Park]]'' where Indians are about to buy out South Park to build a casino, and Stan has to become a ''Magical Middle Class White Guy''. Complete with [[Vision Quest]].
