The Savage Dragon, often called simply “the Dragon,” is a large, super-strong, finned-head, green-skinned humanoid, who in his first appearance, is established as an amnesiac who was found in a burning field in Chicago, with no memory of his life prior to that point. Thus, for most of the series, his powers and appearance were a mystery to readers. At the beginning of the series, he joins the Chicago Police Department and battles the mutant criminal "superfreaks" terrorizing the city, principally members of the Vicious Circle.
