Black Bison is John Ravenhair, a Native American super-villain and an enemy to Firestorm. When his great-grandfather Bison-Black-as-Midnight-Sky was killed, John was possessed by the old man's angry spirit. This leads him to take revenge on those who have wronged the Native American people. The coup-stick and talisman he carries give him a variety of mystical powers. Eventually he is killed by the rogue Spectre during Day of Vengeance. In the New 52 reboot, he is introduced as a member of the Secret Society of Super-Villains during Forever Evil.

Black Bison was created by Gerry Conway and Pat Broderick, first appearing in Firestorm (Volume 2) #1 (1982).
