Deep in the heart of the jungle reigns a man with a sixth sense?According to legend, Tabu once saved an old witch doctor from a terrible death…In return for the favour, the witch doctor gave Tabu an extra sense, which made him supreme in jungle-land. This sixth sense has made Tabu's instincts so keen that he excels over all animals. He can run faster than the deer or antelope, he can climb among the trees more agilely than any ape, he can stalk through the dense jungle grass more swiftly and more quietly than even the black panther, he can leap higher than the leopard, he can soar through the air with more speed than the eagle, and he can dart through water more swiftly than a shark.

He didn't catch on, and after nineteen issues was cancelled. Yet when a hero with similar powers appeared 21 years later, he became a huge success for DC's rival Marvel Comics.
