Bio

Calhoun Burns, codename Cowboy, is a construction and demolition specialist on Matt Trakker's team who raises horses and works as an architect. He wears the Gulliver mask, which shrinks or enlarges objects, and drives the Raven. Graeme McKenna voices him.

Calhoun Burns handles construction and demolition for the team, raises horses and works as an architect. Graeme McKenna voices him, along with Brad Turner, Julio Lopez and T-Bob.

His mask, Gulliver, shrinks or enlarges objects, and the name is a reference to Gulliver’s Travels. It goes with the Raven, a black Chevrolet Corvette that becomes an armed airboat. Raven is in the cartoon from episode 49 and was part of the second Kenner series, which included a Calhoun Burns figure. A Europe-only jetpack named Arctic Assault also uses the Gulliver mask.

He is on the list of drivers in the racing season. A fan site describes him as one of the later recruits, with Jacques LaFleur, Julio Lopez, Ace Riker, Boris Bushkin, Nevada Rushmore and Ali Bombay. One toy page oddly describes the Raven’s pilot as Hayes in its notes while labeling the figure Calhoun Burns, so check the packaging if you are matching figure to vehicle.
