Animal Man (DC)

 Animal Man (real name Buddy Baker) is a superhero of DC, he can use any powers of any animal to defeat his foes.  As seen in  Strange Adventures #195, he was billed as a "full time hero", an aspect that would be the most changed by the revamp.  Animal Man was given his costume and name in  Strange Adventures #190. He continued as a semi-regular feature in the book, making occasional cover appearances, until the introduction of Deadman , who became the main feature with issue #205. His last appearance was in #201.  The level of Buddy's abilities is proportional to the size of the animal they are drawn from.  However, taking the abilities of a larger animal does not result in diminished power for him. In some appearances, he can also talk to animals and enter their minds.
