Scalphunter is a fictional character, a Wild West hero in the DC Comics Universe, created by Sergio Aragones and Joe Orlando. His first appearance was in Weird Western Tales #39.
Brian Savage was born at some point during the 1830s to Matt Savage. During his childhood his family's ranch was attacked by Kiowa Indians and young Brian was abducted. The Indians raised him, naming him Ke-Woh-No-Tay ('He Who Is Less Than Human').[4] His favorite weapons were a bowie knife and a tomahawk, but he was an expert with bow and arrow, revolver and rifle. He also was very good at unarmed combat, using mostly Indian wrestling moves.
Brian ultimately assumed the name "Scalphunter" as he left the tribe that raised him. From there, Brian had many adventures in the old west, fighting the forces of evil and interacting with the likes of Jonah Hex, Bat Lash, and Nighthawk.
