SASQUATCH II
Real name: Inapplicable
Group Affiliation: Former member of Alpha Flight
First Appearance: Alpha Flight v2 #1
Creators: Steve Seagle & Scott Clark
The creature known as Sasquatch was quite simply that: a sasquatch, or
bigfoot, or yeti, or abominable snowman... whatever name you chose to give
him. A supposedly mythical beast, he was unfortunately caught on film at a
time when Department H was looking for all
the ex-Alpha Flight members it could find.
Thinking he was Walter Langkowski, Department H
captured the sasquatch.
Recently the creature escaped from Department H, with some mysterious
outside help. H sent Puck out to track the
beast down. Puck did so, and discovered the truth after finding the sasquatch
with his family. Unfortunately, at that point the two were ambushed by
Epsilon Flight troopers and brought back to
Department H. Puck has had his memory of the truth wiped. It is unclear when
Department H officials first discovered they were mistaken about the
sasquatch's true identity.
Unfortunately it is all now a mostly moot point. Sasquatch was recently
killed while protecting Radius from a bio-engineered
living weapon. The weapon quite simply ate the creature, stripping it down to
the bones.
Sasquatch was extremely large, tough and strong. He was also quite
ferocious in a fight, and quite indiscrimate as to whom he picked his battles
with. [Sasquatch had been known to attack team-mates. -C] Despite his
limitations he possessed some noble characteristics, such as the protective
instinct that led him to save Radius.
