Real Name: Walter Langkowski
Code Name: Sasquatch
Affiliation: Alpha Flight
Walter Langkowski started life in a well off family living on the coast of British Columbia. Having a genious for the biological sciences and also being a skilled football player the young Walt had no problem getting into an excellent American University. While studying there he met the future Hulk Bruce Banner. AFter a career as a football player Walter Langkowski was recruited by Department H to serve in a research position. While carrying out experiments up in the North he tried to duplicate the experiment involving gamma radiation that ceated the Hulk. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams being transformed into the being known as Sasquatch. A creature of great strength that retains the intelligence of Walt. He can also transform between his human form and Sasquatch at will. He is orange supposedly due to the interference of cosmic rays from the aurora borealis (Northern Lights).
Sasquatch being one of the founding members of Alpha Flight has been through a lot in his super hero career. Concievable more than anyone else on the team as a matter of fact. The first several comics of the first volume revolved around the Great Beasts who were the ancient enemies of Snowbird's mother and grandfather, the Northern gods. It seems that Sasquatch himself was one of these ancient terrors and so was the victim of a feral assualt by Snowbird in Sasquatch form herself. Now this only killed his physical body. His mind was put inside the BOX robot and so he still served a role on the team. With prodding from Aurora however he wanted a physical body again and so came up with a device that would find one for him through the dimensions. Finding one he thought would be suitable, both strong and mindless, he tried to take it over. Unfortunately this was the Hulk and not wanting to harm his friend Walter just let his essence dissipate.
In theory he should be dead with both his spiritual essence and body destroyed but guess what? He wasn't. After the death of Snowbird the villain known as Pestilence attacked Alpha at their Headquaters using the body of Snowbird in Sasquatch form. While this was happening the shrunken body of Smart Alec climbed out of Shaman's medicine pouch only to be crushed by the BOX armor. Then without anyone in it the armor started fighting Pestilence. This was of course our beloved Walt back from oblivion. He then took over the body of Snowbird and took over control. Being back in a physical body Walt thought he was all set but it was not to be. Transforming back to human form Walt found out he was now Wanda. And being Wanda he could not recalim his estate from his bitter ex-wife. Luck for Walt however after some time Snowbird transformed Wanda back into a Walt and Sasquatch was Orange again. He ramianed this way until the end of the comic.
In recent issues of the new Alpha Flight Sasquatch is now completely bazerk with no semblance of intelligence at all and only controllable through Murmur, who can control minds. There has been no explanation of how he got this way since his last appearance in Deadpool #1. Well since then it seems that Alpha's loyal following were in for a big shock as this new Sasquatch was not Dr. Walt but a real Sasquatch having nothing to do with the kindly scientist.
