both brains and athletic abilities, Walter Langkowski attended
Pennsylvania State University on a football scholarship, where he met and
was influenced by fellow student Bruce Banner (Hulk
II). After Banner's transformations into the hulk became publicized, Langkowski retired from his career as a professional football player, focusing his studies and fortune on gamma radiation research. With funding from Canada's superhuman research division known as Department H, Langkowski constructed a means of generating gamma radiation in a controlled environment. Exposing himself to gamma radiation Langkowski transformed into savage beast of legend. After his rampage, Langkowski was discovered by Snowbird, who being a shapeshifter herself taught him to control his transformations into Sasquatch. |
