Shango (known as Changó or Xangô in Latin America; and also known as Jakuta) (from '=shan, 'to strike') is an Orisha. He is syncretized with either Saint Barbara or Saint Jerome. Shango is historically a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as he was the third Alafin (king) of the Oyo Kingdom prior to his posthumous deification.
Following Oduduwa, Oranyan, and Ajaka, Jakuta was the third Alafin of Oyo. Jakuta brought prosperity to the Oyo Empire during his reign. In Professor Mason's mythological account of heroes and kings, contrary to his peaceful brother Ajaka, Jakuta (meaning: someone that fight with stones) was a powerful and even violent ruler. He reigned for seven years, the whole of which period was marked by his continuous campaigns and his many battles. The end of his reign resulted from his own inadvertent destruction of his palace by lightning. During his lifetime, he was married to three wives namely Oshun, Oba, and Oya. The worshiping of the Shango deity in Yoruba land is actually the fifth day of the week in which is named Ojo Jakuta. The worshipers worship varieties of edible foods such as: Guguru,Bitter cola, prepeard Amala and Gbegiri soup and the likes. Also, it is also worshiped with Bata drum.

Airstryke is a villain in the DC Universe.
Within the context of the stories, William Kavanagh was given the ability to transform into a pterodactyl/man hybrid by a weapons company Meta/Tech and took the name Airstryke. Count Viper took advantage of these new abilities and used Airstryke to distract Hawkman while Viper tried to take command of the Justice League and thus the world. Airstryke and Viper were soon defeated and Airstryke was sent to Belle Reve Prison. He remained here until he was freed by Neron and was given the chance to sell his soul along with numerous other villains. Airstryke chose not to sell his soul and continued his life of crime. Eventually, Airstryke was returned to prison where he became a victim of Joker's Joker gas. Again, he was defeated and returned to prison. This time he was sent to the Slab. During his stay, Brother Blood attempted to break all the villains out of the prison so they could assist him on his mission. Airstryke was the first to question Blood on his plan. Brother Blood then shot and killed Airstryke for his hubris.

Took a walk, down by the ocean
I was alone, nothing on my mind
As I stood there
I saw the devotion
That the surf had with the shore
Suddenly
I felt this emotion
Of the sea pulling me
Big Kahuna, tide was high
I began body surfing for my life
Ecstasy, sky and the sea
Embracing me
Golden sun on my face
Giving life to me
Unafraid I let go
Trusting in the deep blue sea
We became one with each other
Watching the tide as it drifts away
Big Kahuna, tide was high
I began body surfing for my life
I spoke to me daddy, said to me
"Son, you got to go find a job
And bring some money into the family
For your mommy and me"
I say, "Daddy, me want to go to the seashore
And body surf all day long"
Me no wanna work
Me wanna play
Me wanna body surf all day
Me told him
Me wanna go body surfing
Me tell him
Me tell him
No, me wanna go
