Additional Information

Veronica Langkowski (ex-wife); Unnamed son; Gilded Lily (maternal great-aunt, deceased).

• Body Resistance: Remarkable resistance to physical and energy damage, Monstrous vs. cold
• Hyper-Leaping: Unearthly ability to leap up to 3 areas a round.
• Claws: Remarkable edged damage.
• Regeneration: 10/health a round with Amazing Resistance to Disease and Toxins while in Sasquatch form.
• Alter Ego: When in human form Walter Langowski stands 6'4" & weighs 245 Ibs. and posseses the following stats:

• Nearsighted: Walter is myopic without corrective eyewear and suffers a -1CS to all rolls without glasses as Walter.

Radiation: Walter is one of the world’s leading expert on Gamma Radiation and has Incredible Reason in the field.

Physics: Incredible Reason in the study of the electromagnetic spectrum of energy and research into new power sources.

Bio-physics: The interdisciplinary science using methods of, and theories from, physics to study biological systems. Biophysics spans all levels of biological organization, from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems, Walter has Incredible Reason in the field.

Football: Walter is a former NFL player for the Green Bay Packers and gets +1CS to charging attacks and throwing the football.

Artic Forrest Survival: Walter has Incredible Reason when it comes to surviving in the artic wilderness, including what plants to eat, what not to eat and where to find food, shelter and water should the need arise.

Very tall, wide shoulders, orange fur covering entire body, no neck and big feet.

Langkowski is primarily a scientist - he runs and analizes tests (primarily on his own strength, as it is the result of years of scientific work), he’s a bit distant as he ponders intricate theorizes, and he occasionally launches into reckless experiments of debatable ethics.

He has been described as overbearing - and it is true that he tends to do whatever the heck he wants, being a rich and physically and intellectually powerful alpha male. There’s a sort of will to power behind Langkowski’s motivation, and it sometimes seems that he’s been motivated all along by being the most powerful being around, to the point of taking huge risks with gamma radiation. He greatly enjoys the might that his Sasquatch form gives him, and looks for any occasion to exert his immense strength — even when that’s really not constructive - or even petty and pointless

• Signal Implant: The members of Alpha Flight had a small paging implant in their mastoid bone to receive an activation signal, though in practise those were seldom used, the effective range is unknown although seemed to range from one end of Canada to the other and from New York City well into Canada to reach the individual members: Consider the signal to be a Remarkable scrambled signal with a 3000 mile range that leads the members of Alpha Flight to wherever they need to be.

Dr. Walter Langkowski grew up in British Columbia. He went to Penn 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 MIT. 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. 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 turned into a huge creature. 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 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.

After training in the Gamma and Beta Flight programs, he was accepted into Alpha Flight.

He continued to research and teach at Simon Fraser University when not adventuring. Aurora became his lover and he assisted her with her powers. He assumed the closeness to the Aurora Borealis prevented him from turning green like the Hulk and other gamma-powered beings. However, the experiment had instead opened a portal to the Realm of Great Beasts rather than empower Langkowski. He was linked to the beast known as Tanaraq. 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 Great Beasts to reclaim his spirit, Shaman sending it into the Box robot.

Walter and Bochs immediately began to search for a new body. Walter refused to enter the temporarily mindless Hulk and seemed to disappear. But he instead went into the body of Smart Alec, who had been thrown into Shaman's pouch. When Songbird appeared to die in her Sasquatch form, Walter entered the body. Transforming back left him in a female body. Now going by Wanda, this new state was awkward for Langkowski, especially when it came to working with Aurora. He and Snowbird were able to revert to their normal selves. 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. Later on he found Guardian in the snowy wastelands of Antarctica.

Department H captured an actual Sasquatch and forced it to serve the team, 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. He continued to serve the team, and led it for some time. Alpha Flight with the exception of Walter perished battling the Collective. Walter helped organize a new team to defend Canada, Omega Flight. 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.
