HISTORY


EARLY LIFE[]

Dr. Walter Langkowski grew up in British Columbia. He was an honors student at
the University of Calgary[9] before attending Pennsylvania State University on a
football scholarship, earning a degree in physics. Walter met Bruce Banner while
he was a freshman. Although they only worked with each other for one semester,
Langowski decided to focus on gamma radiation research. He played a few years
for the Green Bay Packers, becoming very wealthy. He then continued his graduate
studies at M.I.T..[10] He was appointed to McGill University in Montreal. He
studied all he could on the Hulk after learning that he was a transformed
Banner. Guardian provided additional funding for a research facility at the
Arctic Circle.[11]


SASQUATCH[]

Sasquatchview image

While on leave from the university, Dr. Langkowski began working on a gamma
radiation experiment that could create a being like the Hulk, only under more
controlled circumstances. Being bombarded by massive amounts of gamma radiation,
Walter opened a Green Door to the Below-Place and turned into a huge
creature.[12] He then went on a rampage until being found unconscious by
Snowbird. Shaman and Snowbird helped Walter learn how to keep his personality
and intelligence in his bestial form. He assumed the closeness to the Aurora
Borealis prevented him from turning green like the Hulk and other gamma-powered
beings. He called himself Sasquatch noting the resemblance to the creature also
called Bigfoot. After training in the Gamma and Beta Flight programs, he was
accepted into Alpha Flight.[11]

He continued to research and teach at Simon Fraser University when not
adventuring.[citation needed] Aurora became his lover,[13] although her brash
and flamboyant personality sometimes embarrassed the staid professor.[11] At
Aurora's request, Walter performed a procedure to modify her mutant powers and
differentiate her from her brother.[14]

Unknown to Langkowski, however, his original experiment had also opened a second
Green Door to the Realm of the Beasts which linked him to the beast known as
Tanaraq.[12] The more he transformed, the more Tanaraq was beginning to overtake
him, especially when he grew angry or felt pain. Snowbird was forced to
transform herself into a similar form and ripped the beast's heart out, killing
him. Alpha Flight traveled to the Realm of the Great Beasts to reclaim his
spirit, Shaman sending it into the Box robot.[15]

Walter and the Box robot's owner, Roger Bochs, immediately began to search for a
new body. Eventually, they scanned a humanoid, nearly mindless body trapped in
another dimension. However, when the pair projected Langkowski's soul towards
this body it turned out to be the Hulk. Walter refused to enter the temporarily
mindless Hulk and seemed to disappear.[16] His spirit existed in the Crossroads
of Realities for a time, but eventually entered the body of Smart Alec, who had
been rendered mindless and stored in Shaman's pouch. When Snowbird's deceased
Sasquatch body was possessed by Pestilence, Walter emerged from the pouch as
Smart Alec, transferred his mind back into the Box robot, and battled Pestilence
until his spirit vacated Snowbird's body. Walter then transferred his mind into
the Sasquatch form and unthinkingly tried to transform Snowbird's Sasquatch body
back into his own human body. Instead, he became a white-haired female version
of himself, dubbed Wanda Langkowski.[17]

After several months as Wanda Langkowski, Snowbird's spirit returned from the
afterlife and extracted her godly essence from Sasquatch's form. This
effectively turned him back into Walter and the orange-furred Sasquatch.[18]

After Alpha Flight disbanded, Walter continued his gamma radiation research at
Project Michelangelo in Antarctica. Deadpool attacked the base and caused the
core to overload, endangering the entire world. Sasquatch and Deadpool teamed up
to shut the down the core.[19]

Department H captured an actual Sasquatch and forced it to serve Alpha Flight,
assuming it was Langkowski with amnesia. When the creature was killed, Walter
was assumed dead. Meanwhile, Walter found his former teammate Guardian in the
snow of Antarctica and nursed him back to health. This led to Walter discovering
that Department H was up to some shady activities. Walter reassembled the
original Alpha Flight and confronted the new Alpha Flight. After Department H
was exposed he rejoined the team.[20]

Sasquatch with Alpha Flightview image

When the rest of Alpha Flight were kidnapped by the Plodex, Sasquatch assembled
an all-new, all-different Alpha Flight to rescue them. This team remained
together after their first mission, and Walter led Alpha Flight for a time.[21]

Walter as Sasquatchview image

Alpha Flight with the exception of Walter perished battling the Collective.
Walter helped organize a new team to defend Canada, Omega Flight.[22][23] Once
Omega Flight fell apart, and his original team returned from the dead, Walter
rejoined Alpha Flight in service of the Canadian government. He immediately
began a heavy flirtation with Aurora.[24]


TRACKING THE IMMORTAL HULK[]

Sasquatch later became part of the Alpha Flight Space Program.[25] As Langkowski
spent more time in his Sasquatch form, he became susceptible to the influence of
Brian Banner's spirit, who could use a conceptual "green door" pertaining to
gamma mutates to possess them, resulting in Walter becoming progressively
aggressive. When Alpha Flight's commander Captain Marvel brought to attention
Sasquatch's behavioral issues, Walter reverted to his human form and decided to
seek help from Bruce Banner, who was living off the grid at the moment.[12]

Walter contacted reporter Jackie McGee, who was following Banner's trail,[26]
and joined her in her search. They reached a small town in Minnesota, and Walter
was stabbed when he tried to break up a fight between two men. As he was being
treated in his hospital, night fell, causing him to unexpectedly transform into
Sasquatch and become possessed by the One Below All, disguised in the form Brian
Banner. Bruce Banner had tracked down Jackie and Walter and confronted the
possessed Sasquatch as the Hulk. He was able to put an end to Brian Banner's
possession by draining Sasquatch of his gamma energy, with the secondary effect
of Walter being depowered.[27]

Walter was almost charged with murder for his rampage by Gen. Reginald Fortean.
He was spared this fate when Fortean forced Captain Marvel to use the Avengers
to apprehend Bruce Banner for him to save Walter.[28] Hulk eventually escaped
Fortean's custody. Fearful for Banner's safety, Walter formed Gamma Flight to
keep track of Banner.[29] Walter and Gamma Flight with reporter Jackie McGee
found Banner as the Hulk at the site where the Gamma Bomb exploded. While Hulk
fought Gamma Flight, the Absorbing Man absorbed the leftover gamma energy at the
site, allowing the One Below All to plunge the entire state of New Mexico into
its Below-Place along with Walter and Gamma Flight.[30] Walter and Gamma Flight
were returned to Earth when Hulk defeated the One Below All.[31]

While continuing to track the Banner's movements, Walter and Gamma Flight found
doctor and friend Doc Samson who revealed that the Hulk planned to wipe out
human civilization.[32] Later, Walter, Gamma Flight, and Samson traveled to a
hotel in Reno, Nevada where a battle between Hulk and the U.S. Hulk Operations
had erupted. All they found was the ruins of the Hulk Operations' War-Wagons and
a large fleshy husk that used to contain Richard Jones.[33]

Gamma Flight took the fleshy husk back with them for study. Wanting the husk
back so Hulk Operations could continue to weaponize it, Gen. Fortean teleported
himself to Alpha Flight's space station while wearing Redeemer Armor and
incapacitated Gamma Flight's members but chose to kill Walter as punishment for
the people he killed during his rampage in Minnesota before retrieving the
husk.[34]

One week after the attack, Walter remained dead while the rest of Gamma Flight
fully recovered, a fact that confused Doc Samson. Puck said he wouldn't mourn
for Walter since Alpha Flight members frequently experience "false alarms" with
death. To prevent decomposition of Walter's body Puck ordered it to be placed in
a suspended animation chamber, which the rest of Gamma Flight then used as a
poker table.[35][36]

His body was later taken over by Doc Samson's spirit so he could resurrect
himself and warn Gamma Flight of the machinations of the Leader.[37]

However, Walter's spirit was able to take over Doc Samson's body. He renamed
himself Walter Samson as a result.[1] He made his way to New York City and went
to the Baxter Building where he aided the Fantastic Four in locating the
Below-Place so they could use the Forever Gate to retrieve Bruce Banner and
Jackie McGee.[38]

POWERS

Seemingly those of Leonard Samson.

Expand
Former Powers
view image

Tanaraq's Form

Physical Transformation: Originally, Walter had the ability to transform himself
into his original Sasquatch form at will. While he originally believed his
powers were the result of exposure to gamma radiation, the experiment he used
opened a mystical rift and linked him with the Great Beast Tanaraq. Walter's
Sasquatch form was actually Tanaraq's body and, while transformed, Walter
possessed not only his normal personality and intelligence (at least for most of
the time he possessed Tanaraq's form) but various superhuman physical
attributes. For a period he inhabited Snowbird's body, which gave him access to
an albino Sasquatch form.[17]

 * Superhuman Strength: In his original Sasquatch form, which was actually the
   form of the Great Beast Tanaraq, Walter possessed vast superhuman strength
   sufficient to lift 90 tons. He lifted a 25 ton DC-10 and threw it 1000 feet
   away[5][39] and displayed enough raw power to match Colossus blow for
   blow.[40] Walter's great strength also extended into his legs, enabling him
   to leap great distance in a single bound, much the same way as the Hulk.[39]
   He has at time displayed even greater strength, possibly by unconsciously
   drawing on Tanaraq's power.[41]

 * Superhuman Speed: In spite of his great size, Walter could run and move at
   speeds beyond the natural physical capabilities of the finest human athlete.

 * Superhuman Stamina: Walter's enhanced musculature generated considerably
   fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an
   ordinary human. He was capable of exerting himself at peak capacity for a
   period of several days at the very least before the build up of fatigue
   toxins began to even affect him.[39]

 * Superhuman Durability: Walter's body was considerably harder and much more
   resistant to all types of physical injury than the body of a human. He could
   withstand tremendous impact forces like blows with the likes of the Hulk,
   Colossus[40] and the Super-Skrull[42] without much damage[40], falls from
   great heights, powerful energy blasts and prolonged exposure to sub-zero
   temperatures without sustaining any injury.[39] High caliber bullets however
   could hurt him but not cause any visible bleeding.[43]

Box

Robot Body: After being killed by Snowbird after losing his body to Tanaraq his
soul was recovered and placed in the Box Armor Model 2 by Shaman.[44]

 * Superhuman Strength: As Box Walter was superhumanly strong and could lift 85
   tons.[41]

 * Superhuman Durability: As Box Walter's body was highly resistant to
   damage.[41]

 * Flight: As Box Walter could fly thanks to foot-mounted jets.[41]

 * Enhanced Senses: As Box Walter could link with computers, had tracking
   equipment and electromagnetic spectrum observation devices.[41]

Gamma Form

Physical Transformation: Walter can transform from his normal form to Sasquatch
at will in much the same way as he originally did. At first, he needed to enter
a meditative state taught to him by Shaman and Snowbird. Although it wasn't
originally clear the source of his new Sasquatch form it was later revealed that
it is actually gamma based and it was created by the very same experiment that
resulted in his possession by Tanaraq.[12]

 * Superhuman Strength: In his current Sasquatch form, Walter is also
   superhumanly strong and can lift 90 tons.[41] After possessing Langkowski
   Brian Banner proved that this wasn't his true limit and fought toe-to-toe
   against his son for a prolonged time and even blocked one of the Hulk's
   punches with the palm of his hand with no visible effort stating that gamma
   had made Langkowski the Hulk's equal, but that he didn't know how to use his
   power.[45]

 * Superhuman Speed: Despite his great size, Walter is able to run and move at
   speeds that are beyond the capability of the finest human athlete.

 * Superhuman Stamina: Walter's musculature generates less fatigue toxins during
   physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human.[41]

 * Superhuman Durability: Walter's current Sasquatch form is more resistant to
   injury than an ordinary human[41] and has proven able to take numerous blows
   from Hulk with limited damage.[45]

 * Regenerative Healing Factor: One power that he does have that he didn't while
   in possession of Tanaraq's form is an accelerated healing factor that enables
   him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissues. Walter's healing powers
   have increased as time has gone by. Injuries such as deep slashes, punctures,
   or broken bones that once took days to fully heal now heal completely within
   a matter of hours.[46] It isn't known if Walter's healing powers grant him an
   increased lifespan, greater resistance to diseases, drugs, or toxins than he
   ordinarily would.[41]

 * Enhanced Senses: While in Sasquatch form Walter possesses enhanced
   senses.[41]

 * Claws: In Sasquatch form Walter possesses razor-sharp talons on his
   fingers[41] easily capable of gutting humans and even able to pierce the
   Hulk's skin.[45]


ABILITIES

 * Genius Intelligence: Langkowski is a professionally trained scientist with
   experience dealing with many forms of experimental radiation and their
   mutagenic effects on lifeforms under controlled settings.[41]

As a former professional football player, Langkowski has highly athletic
physical strength and endurance, though he is no longer in the peak condition of
his life.[11]


WEAKNESSES

Walter requires glasses to give him 20/20 vision.

Expand
Former Weaknesses
While transformed, Walter's body is covered with thick, Brownish-Orange fur that
helps keep his body comfortably protected from extremely cold weather. However,
this fur becomes very uncomfortable in tropical climates.[41]


PARAPHERNALIA


EQUIPMENT

Walter developed a bag-like suit which allowed him to be carried in-flight by
Aurora or Northstar in his smaller and lighter human form without being affected
adversely by the friction caused by their high speed. He also briefly used an
armor when Alpha Flight was asked to remove Juggernaut from Squid-Boy's home.


TRANSPORTATION

Alpha Flight Omnijet


NOTES

 * Alpha Flight #10 states that Walter and his ex-wife have a son. To date, this
   is the only reference to Walt ever having a son.
 * Walter is Jewish.[47][48]
