He eventually was rescued after three months of living off the land and learning about himself and nature, and when he returned to civilization he immediately quit as a lumberjack and began striving for change in the logging community.  As time went on and he learned of supervillains causing enviromental destruction across the globe on a scale much grander than anything the logging communities could ever hope to achieve, he went to the bigger cities in hopes of putting and end to the pain they were causing Mother Earth.  Although not considering himself a "supehero" per se, the media picked up on his work and began calling him 'Yukon'.Abilities will be along the line of the Plant Control variant of the Element Control Hero Archetype.  His costume is a typical lumberjack outfit, and he wields a long oaken walking stick/quarterstaff.</blockquote>
