	Wendigo (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wendigo is a fictional character in Marvel comics that is based on the mythical creature of the same name.
		The tips of the Wendigo's fingers and toes are tipped with razor sharp, retractable claws that are capable of piercing through most conventional materials, even steel, due to a combination of the sharpness of the claws and the Wendigo's massive physical strength.
		Even though the Wendigo was once a human being, very little is left of that person with the exception of brief and rare instances during which the Wendigo is able to remember things about its former life.

		The Wendigo is a cursed creature, a human being who has resorted to cannibalism, triggering the curse and subsequent transformation into a murderous, hairy, 10-foot-tall monster driven by hunger for human flesh.
		At the time the Hulk met it, the Wendigo curse had fallen on one, Paul Cartier, whose sister, Marie and his former partner, Jean Baptiste, sought to transfer the curse from Cartier to the already-cursed Hulk.
		Now, comic companies can be a bit squeamish about such things, at times, which is exactly what happened in later years, with Wolverine, but for a year or so, in the mid-70s, he was relegated to the file drawer to gather dust.

	Wendigo/press
		And while "Wendigo" lacks the near-epic introspection and longing of "Habit," it is in many ways Fessenden's most accomplished and accessible pic to date, making strong use of his fine cast and production values in a thoroughly intriguing exploration of our communal need for myths and their need for us.
		Wendigo is an extraordinarily thorny film, no question; that it manages to be so without pretension, while providing an experience that is terrifying and gorgeous, is a remarkable achievement.
		The Wendigo is an elemental spirit that appears in various guises, taking the shape of wind, trees, or a hungry deer-man with sharp antlers that roams the wilderness.

	Universe X: Beasts Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Universe X could possibly be a work of genius were it not for the fact that the series itself falls too hard for format and shoehorning half of Marvel continuity into every issue.
		Not only due to the Wendigo, who as we will learn later in the tale was actually Jamie Madrox after having eaten one of his duplicates, but also due to T'Challa's meddling with the Cosmic Cube, even though not actively touching the cube, still activating it through thought and prayer.
		It is a brave feat for comics creators to challenge theological basis in such a fashion and one that needs to be recognized by the readers.

		There is, of course, a menace in Wendigo, but it's not given life by animatronic creatures or digital effects.

		"Wendigo" is the third in Fessenden's trilogy of revisionist horror films that started with 1991's "No Telling" and continued in 1997 with the vampire cult favorite "Habit." In "Wendigo," Fessenden continues his focus on alienation and the loneliness of the human experience.
		In presenting a Manhattan couple and their son displaced from their urban setting for a weekend away in snowy upstate New York, he immediately sets up a story of conflicts rooted in both real and imagined horrors.
		I was haunted by this Native American legend of the Wendigo.

		At this past San Diego Comics Convention, I stopped at the booth of "the Carl Barks Studio" (the Grandeys' operation, I believe, selling Barks's original art and such), and on sale were the original pen and ink drawings of the mildly racy girlie cartoons Barks sold to the Calgary Eye-Opener circa 1934.
		And a little large; the comic is as big as the volumes of the hardback Carl Barks Library as published by Another Rainbow, so copies can simply not be found in mint condition.
		I'm pretty sure that the people objecting to the use of ghosts in your comics are objecting because they think that ghosts and such are inappropriate material for children stories.

		Personally my own favorite would be Grizzlor vs Wendigo or Multibot vs Ultron, but better start with less characters.
		When I read the list I can't help but give the advantage to the Marvel character in almost every instance, because of the way that the Motu villains are always portrayed as such wimps.
		Wendigo is some sort of demonic entity in physical form right.

	Wendigo Mini-FAQ
		As far as fiction goes, the most famous windigo story is Algernon Blackwood's "The Wendigo"; it is one of the wraith stories, and is hands down the most imitated (Derleth's stories of Ithaqua in the Cthulhu Mythos are perhaps the most famous Blackwood inspirations).
		The Blackwood story ended up in a television show in the 1960s, and was in a comic in the 1940's.
		Shadowrun makes windigowak out to be vampiric orcs (eukkk!)...White Wolf does something unusual by making a Wendigo clan (tho' in a way they had made windigowak a separate race), and Dark Conspiracy does the finest job of the RPGs that has attempted to do a windigo IMO.
