 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Tomahawk
Tomahawk got his name from the fact that he was raised by Indians, thus absorbing their lore — a definite asset in the forest-based guerilla warfare he carried on against the British — combined with the fact that his name actually was Tom Hawk.
Like the non-superhero that he was, Tomahawk was relegated to the comic's back pages, along with the seafaring Captain Compass and the bigfoot-style Penniless Palmer — but superheroes were even then falling out of favor at DC; and with the 96th issue (September, 1949), Tomahawk ousted Robin from the cover.
Other than that, Tomahawk hasn't been seen much in recent decades — which, since the tendency nowadays is for DC to publish nothing at all except superheroes, means that by lying dormant, Tomahawk is still following the trends at DC.
