-Manitou is the Skyfather of the Manitou, and I just felt like adding one of them to the mix. A "standard" Skyfather is a PL 15 Magic User/Ass-Kicker who's basically Thor Plus Dr. Strange, making them all remarkably powerful and nigh-unkillable. He's not quite a "Generic" Skyfather, what with his uber-Summoning Power (which cranks his cost up more than 100 points because that's such an expensive and awesome thing in M&M), Spirit Weapons and such, but I found him conceptually interesting. He & his Pantheon don't show up that often since they're generally not as important to world history and Marvel has tons of OTHER Gods kicking around, though.
