While out hunting with his best friend, Buddy Baker stumbles upon a mysterious alien spacecraft. Upon investigating the craft it explodes in his face, but rather than killing him the explosion imbues Buddy with mysterious animal powers, turning him in to Animal Man! While at first only able to mimic the powers of animals near him, he later gained greater control over his powers, allowing him to gain the power of any animal he chooses at any time, even those who are extinct! Though usually his powers cause no change in his appearance, at times he has been known to gain the wings of an eagle, the eyes of a cat or even the claws of a wolverine thanks to his mysterious animal powers.
