Manitou Raven and his wife Dawn hail from the Obsidian Age of Atlantis, circa 1000 BCE. They were born in North America, from a tribe which would one day become the Apache Tribe. Few details are known about Raven's early life. It is also unclear whether his command of mystical forces was learned or innate.

Raven was recruited by the rulers of Atlantis %u2014 Rama Khan and Gamemnae %u2014 to join heroes from across the globe (and from rival societies) and form a multicultural "League of Ancients."

When Gamemnae had a prophetic vision of a "seven-headed hydra" from the future that would threaten Atlantis, Raven and a super-powered Aztec warrior called Tezumak journeyed to the 21st century to battle the threat. While there, they concluded that the "hydra" was the Justice League, but they were unable to defeat the League and barely managed to return to Atlantis to alert the Ancients that the JLA were en route.

Yet when faced with the JLA, Raven discovered that they were honorable and allied himself with them. Ultimately, he and his wife returned with them to the future, becoming a member.
